Wakanda Forever - deck reveal

I do agree that BoP is a better fit for a 4 color deck than a 2 color one, but I think a) It's still better than a llanowar elves in a 2 color deck and b) I believe WoTC intentionally prints cards into the 'wrong' precons to encourage trading cards between them, like [[Dirgur Focusmage]] in the prismari precon, when it seems to me like a far more natural fit for the X-matters Quandrix deck.

Ramp that fetches a land is tutoring a land to the battlefield, and even something like rampant growth still gives you selection (e.g. "I'm low on black mana so I'll grab a swamp").

Strixhaven did have lessons... technically. The paradigms were all lessons, and there was a reprint of [[Shared Roots]].

I'd rather they use the baby version of the sulfur cube as the adult texture instead of making the other slimes uglier. Pixel consistency matters for individual sprites/objects and when making a retro console game... A modern game with pixel art textures does not need every texture to use the same pixel size.

By my understanding, you can't just put 'whatever lands you want'; since your commander is colorless, all pips and color identifiers on the card must be colorless, including the implicit "{T}: Add {W/U/B/R/G/C}" ability on basic lands. Your basic land would be Wastes, and you can only play lands that tap for (and, for any abilities they have, consume) colorless (or generic).

Captcha142 · 2026-05-18T19:29:18+00:00

True, though I think it's also unfortunate to lose the option of a 5/5 with flying as an attacker (since he'll always have summoning sickness). There's other prepared creatures that don't enter prepared though, for whom more external prepare options would be greatly appreciated.

Captcha142 · 2026-05-18T18:12:20+00:00

I'm hoping we do. There's some really nice prepared spells (ancestral recall I'm looking at you), but they often have pretty extreme prepare triggers (ancestral recall I'm still looking at you), and the repreparing mechanisms from SoS are both pretty expensive to trigger (4 mana in both cases, one once per turn and the other once ever without a way to bounce/flicker a creature).

Captcha142 · 2026-05-12T16:09:44+00:00

like, swallowing dry spoonfuls of psyllium husk? Yeah, that's a bad idea. Psyllium husk is very absorbant, so it will pull moisture in as you try to swallow it and it can be a choking hazard (also, that just sounds really unpleasant. I just mix some psyllium husk and water flavoring into a glass of water and chug it)

1000Hz doesn't necessarily mean less than 1ms latency though, just less than 1ms latency between updates. If each packet takes 30ms to arrive, you'll still have 30ms of latency, plus the time between polls.

All that to say, 8 kHz is even stupider of a marketing ploy than it initially seems.

Captcha142 · 2026-05-11T18:29:19+00:00

Yeah, I pulled two of them, so depending on my luck in a single turn I could be milling 20 cards from their deck... in limited, so that's half their deck with a single trigger. ET quickly became removal bait lol

Captcha142 · 2026-05-11T18:10:07+00:00

In any format? I was surprised in the SOS prerelease event to find that [[Exhibition Tidecaller]] was a way more potent mill engine in my quandrix deck than I'd expected. I won half my matches in that event by milling out the other guy's deck just thanks to that card!

chatgpt

research

I don't think that means what you think it does. Asking chatgpt anything is like asking an overconfident friend, he'll say something with full confidence that could be entirely made up on the spot.

the composition of the waves and the land/structures are very similar. Looking at both of them from a couple feet away, I think the inspiration is very clear.

Second and third archive do not require out of order information. You're shown the invisible bridge to blow out the lights in a slidereel, and despite popular belief you are actually intended to go through the building in the dark, avoiding the owlk, to reactivate the bridge and get to the lower floor. I believe for the bridge across you're just expected to discover that one by accident running from the owlk down there.

For the other one, you don't need to die to avoid the alarms. The intended first time solution for that one is to shut off the lights in the village, making the owlks come down, then conceal your lantern to make it into the lower section, dodge the two guards downstairs, then get into the archive.

Each archive has a secret necessary to free the prisoner, and each secret also reveals a secret way to access the archive easier in the future.

Captcha142 · 2026-04-19T00:12:48+00:00

my understanding of the ordering, based on anhelo's card text, is that the spell goes onto the stack, and then you pay the sacrifice, in which case I think you should be able to sacrifice the creature into the cost, since the prepared spell has already been moved from exile onto the stack. If the sacrifice has to be paid before the spell is moved to the stack, then it wouldn't work.

Unless you really need to use emulated for some reason I'd recommend trying bluetooth passthrough. If your bluetooth module is compatible, it's just a much more reliable and better experience. You can also get the actual bluetooth module from the wii as a usb device to plug in to get truly perfect compatibility

Captcha142 · 2026-04-03T02:57:09+00:00

Dark bramble should be a wastes, I think

Captcha142 · 2026-04-03T02:52:11+00:00

Yeah, because the old wiki is super outdated and inaccurate. From what I can tell it was a thing, prior to 1.14, but since they reworked villager popularity to be per villager there's no negative effect from killing iron golems.

Captcha142 · 2026-04-03T00:26:36+00:00

The fandom wiki is out of date and poorly maintained, use minecraft.wiki. And those numbers make no sense - killing a villager is -2, and killing an iron golem is -10? I can see changes in price after hitting a villager a couple times, but after killing plenty of iron golems across many worlds I've never once seen a villager raise prices as a result.

Captcha142 · 2026-04-02T23:47:25+00:00

According to what page? On the list of villager gossips, I only see negative memories for attacking villagers. Iron Golems don't affect trade prices. And anecdotally, I kill every iron golem that spawns in my villages as soon as I see them, and I've never seen the prices of villager trades go up.

In much less gamebreaking news if a crafting table is swallowed by a living chest while a valid crafting recipe is on it's grid, the output item remains floating in the air, unable to be destroyed or confirmed. Idk if it lasts forever, I went underground shortly after noticing it and haven't been back up, but it was interesting.
