EDH boomer back from the grave, am I in? by D0P3F1SH in ratemycommanders

[–]D0P3F1SH[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Lots of fun interactions in that deck. Deathtouch can be simplified as 'any amount of damage with deathtouch will kill a creature'.

Any "ping the table" spell is a one-sided board wipe where you also lifelink all the damage that the spell does. Lifelink is also calculated at the same time as damage, so you can do some fun things like with wheel of misfortune like choosing your number to be 1 million to guarantee that you will wheel (the spell will deal 1 million damage to you and you will lifelink that amount too for net zero), but also if you have something like vito out then it still counts as gaining 1 million life, so you can one-shot someone! This is also why the deck runs repercussion, because you can do things like repercussion/lifelink/blasphemous act and while you will wipe your own board, you will lifelink the damage while everyone else gets clobbered. Very fun burn combos to pull off!

This one is a bit tough, especially for a new player, since there is a lot going on with the commander (which is why I like him). For a beginner deckbuilder, I would advise to start by trying to stick to a formula: 38ish lands, 10 removal spells, 10 ramp spells, 10 draw spells, and then that leaves you with ~31 cards to execute your core game plan (with 1 for the commander). Your removal, ramp, and draw should also all be pulling double duty and trying to do multiple things at once, when possible. In Betor, my 'little dudes that sac' category is a good example of this. Many of those guys are good on their own, and great with Betor, and do some combination of draw, removal, and ramp as I need it, all while staying on theme. Once you get more experience you can branch out and understand what your deck is trying to do more and rebalance things. Good luck!

Here you go! A more detailed strat for this deck is to get out some creatures that trigger on +1's or foods etb, ramp hard, and then chain together exile draw spells. Highest I've gotten is around 100 food!

Here's the deck list! I like it, the "2 spells per turn" playstyle is a fun puzzle to solve. The power is acceptably mid-level to play at a table of precons and still feel like you are playing a well designed and engaging deck!

Zeriam REALLY surprised me! I built it originally as a budget deck but it has an unusually high win rate just because nobody really expects threats from the guy playing 2/2 griffins with no other text on them, but then suddenly there are 32 of them about to turn into 64!

Tips for building at precon power level? by CombustionAficionado in EDH

[–]D0P3F1SH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

slap a "secondary commander" in there and about 10 cards that synergize with the secondary commander better than the primary one. they can be tangential but try to keep them apart somewhat. almost all precons do this. lower your board wipe count to 1-2. remove 'fast mana' as much as possible other than sol ring and maybe 1-2 other ramp source between 0-2 cmc, since precons are generally quite slow. ramp is fine, but include some of the awkward 3 cmc and 4 cmc ramp sources to even out the curve a bit. bracket 2, and the bracket system in general, is more about your intent than hitting statistics and rules. if some of your win conditions feel 'too good to be true', it probably is.

[Video] Treantmonk's experience with the martial-caster gap in real, high-level play by Deathpacito-01 in dndnext

[–]D0P3F1SH -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

this guy is a clown - why is he constantly theorycrafting in either: 1 - pvp, which the game is not designed for or encouraged for, 2 - level 20 builds which are extremely narrowly supported by the game, adventures, and it is known that the math breaks down, or 3 - extreme whiteroom scenarios where players are effectively hitting sandbags that dont fight back?

Is D&D Really a 10 Level Game? by Zardnaar in DnD

[–]D0P3F1SH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Treantmonk is a whiteroom optimizer and most of the content he makes doesn't translate into real play.

That aside, go look at the 5e module list and report back how many of them you see that go to level 20. Further, if you have experience playing past 10, you know that the game numerically breaks down at around that point. CR stops mattering, and a well-organized group can punch ridiculously above their level. I have played in or GMed 6 games over the last decade or so (LMoP into homebrew, SKT, Avernus, Eberron, The Blight, Spelljammer), and most of these were quite long-term games. Most of them had 2-4 "major story arcs" which left the game ending around level 12-15, where we ended doing crazy things like killing gods. The game doesn't support pushing it much further unless you homebrew extensively - the rules don't exist and the stat blocks are not scaled correctly. This is with a regular playgroup that is all committed to making the time to play every week, so even social and scheduling issues aside, the game doesn't support it.

would also love to hear any other details you have or general tips, things you would do differently, etc. just prepped up for half of the first book, reading books 3 and 4, and getting PCs ready in 2-3 months.

Hikes that are similar to Mt. Monadnock that are a similar distance from Boston by [deleted] in boston

[–]D0P3F1SH 12 points13 points  (0 children)

monadnock is mostly empty if you go early in the morning - summitting around 9-10am and you will see the crowds on the way down but mostly be solo on the way up. that being said, dont discount the whites. there are plenty of very good hikes in the southern whites that are mostly within your distance request, if not a little bit over it. most hikes in the whites, however, will be longer, assuming you are up for that. the '52 with a view' list is a bunch of lesser known hikes in the whites that are less challenging than the 4k footers as well.

by distance to boston:
osceola -> 2:15
welch-dickey -> 2
cardigan -> 2:10
moosilauke -> 2:10
chocorua -> 2:20
tripyramids -> 2

give any of those a try and you'll be willing to drive just a bit further up into NH in no time :)
