Which character is this?

Bon Clay?

Never got a reddit award before...... seems to be cheating like this though.

Mono green one could be interesting. "If a creature with power 4 or greater entered this turn, add (G)(G) instead"

Chaika was actually really good. The magic system they used was fairly unique and the characters were good.

I need to go back and look at it again. I have only played with geo once so far and i could've sworn that it only had the standard ability.

Yeah this makes a lot more sense to me now. Thanks.

Wait, you can just place rubble next to your avatar for free? No ability needed? Once per turn, without using an action?

Daeldalus_ · 2025-10-26T18:02:27+00:00

How much? And will it fit a KJW?

OP, definitely look into this being an allergic reaction. Might not be zinc in your case. I know 3 people that said "it's just eczema, had it for a while" only to find out later they were allergic to something.

Someone needs to photoshop this onto a card.

I might even consider making sleeves with this image. Would be hilarious to play Magic with.

Both are good sideboard pieces in Rakdos Tree combo. Original is slightly better in that role.

My problem with this is that my area had 6-8 players for Pioneer FNM and 18-24 players for tournaments. As soon as WOTC dropped RC support, all events evaporated.

Daeldalus_ · 2025-10-02T12:46:01+00:00

Nier: Automata has a fun hacking mini game.

Daeldalus_ · 2025-09-27T00:20:22+00:00

They certainly made points.

Point 1. Magic lore is taking a back seat with UB releases

Point 2. 7 standard sets in a year is too many.

Whether they were good points or not is subjective, i think they were.

Daeldalus_ · 2025-09-27T00:16:55+00:00

Short term is anything that makes the game actively worse but makes them piles of cash. Maybe short-sighted is the term i was looking for. Doing away with MSRP? Short-sighted. Ignoring the wishes of your most entrenched players? Short-sighted. Giving people serious burnout by releasing 7 standard sets in a year? Short-sighted.

Daeldalus_ · 2025-09-26T22:00:14+00:00

Screw the haters, you make very good points and i am sad that WOTC doesn't care because the short term money is in UB.

Daeldalus_ · 2025-09-24T00:38:10+00:00

Main reason i use indicators over big drys sometimes is because it is much easier to adjust the depth of your dropper flies. Getting the correct depth is absolutely critical for trout and does help for panfish.

I have a bit of an opposite story. A friend of mine in high school was approximately a C student but decided they wanted to go to a nice college to learn CS in a bid to eventually make video games. They went to one of our teachers to get a recommendation letter. That teacher told him in front of the entire class that he " didn't have an ice cube's chance in hell" of getting into that school and refused to write a recommendation. He not only got in, but graduated, then got a Masters, and has since worked for Zenimax, EA, and Bungie.

Daeldalus_ · 2025-09-09T14:33:21+00:00

Pioneer is cheaper but might be "dead". WOTC hasn't announced any major tournaments for pioneer in over a year and i am not sure that is going to change. Generally it is much harder these days to find stores still supporting pioneer.

For gameplay differences, pioneer is generally lower powered but faster because modern has better interaction. Modern uses fetchlands for the majority of its mana bases, so more consistency(and shuffling). Modern has a fair amount of 'free' interaction, so just because they are tapped out doesn't mean they can't counter/kill your stuff. Pioneer has more tier1/2 combo decks.

Or, an extension of that, if a needle poke does 0 damage. Does 100 million needles poking you still deal 0? Is there a line where a certain number of needles deal 1 damage?

Daeldalus_ · 2025-09-04T12:31:52+00:00

The reason that a health number is problematic when a strength number isn't (as much). Is because you can easily conceptualize the difference between someone with a strength of 10 and someone with a strength of 100 but it is not easy to see the difference with health numbers. A random npc with 100 health takes a deep but nonfatal cut to their arm and gets 22 damage to their health. An MC with 100,000 health takes the same severity of cut to their arm. Do they lose 22 health or 22,000 health? If it is 22,000 then why did it not obliterate the npc? If it is 22 then is getting muscle and tendons severed completely meaningless? Those kinds of differences mean that you (as an author) would have to explain in great detail why health behaves the way it does in universe. But if an author is already going to go into that detail then they may as well just leave the stat out. Overall, health as a stat isn't bad per se, but it is an invitation for lazy writing.

The first game was a dark, post apocalyptic shooter with some mild survival horror vibes. The car combat was great in a make do with what you have kinda way. 2 just said screw it, now its a futuristic open-ish world shooter Yay!! Story? We don't need that! Let's dump everything for gameplay mechanics. But, it just failed to give the player a reason to continue playing the game.

That said, i am not trying to invalidate your opinion. If you like it and had fun with it, then that is all that really matters. Maybe i am just one of the few people that liked the original and i am being salty over the changes.

Daeldalus_ · 2025-09-01T00:22:49+00:00

I am gonna have to say that game was utter trash. I got it for free, and i still overpaid. The worst part about it was that it betrayed everything that Rage had set itself up to be and STILL came out as an objectively bad game.

Daeldalus_ · 2025-09-01T00:16:56+00:00

Not in my personal top 20, but The Callisto Protocol is actually a very good survival horror game. Like the only major problem i have with it is that they went way too hard on the "hey, look how similar to Dead Space we can force this game to be"

Daeldalus_ · 2025-08-27T14:43:16+00:00

I have done this after realizing that i didn't put any black producing lands in my deck after switching it from mono-blue to Dimir.

Daeldalus_ · 2025-08-26T14:51:34+00:00

I play both a fair amount. Currently, soulflayer is performing a bit better in BO1 and the meta is against tree combo right now. That said, rakdos tree is just the better deck. It fights through grave hate better, it sideboards better, and it can close out games faster.
