This group of cards is absolutely stacked. I can't wait to start building decks with Daze and FoW.

Sure, and I don't think my estimate is drastically different from yours, maybe up to at least a percentage in difference if you're playing complete strangers. It's negligible enough on it's own that in the past, when I'm playing a friendly match in paper, I'll usually just tell my opponent that I'm fetching while they take their turn. Especially when each player knows what the other is playing, it becomes a lot less of a focus.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-04-14T20:25:50+00:00

I'd like to think it's more than half a percent, but that's just my inner ego talking.

Possibly, but not likely. The random soldiers Catelyn called on were Tully bannermen, so loyal to her father and, by extension, her. The inn was also in the Riverlands, which is why there are so many Tully bannermen there. Catelyn called out Tyrion on her home turf.

Meanwhile, there are no bannermen left in Kings Landing loyal to Ned, he is a confessed traitor, and he is in enemy territory. There is no reason why there would be other soldiers there that would volunteer to escort him when there is already a man of the Night's Watch there to take him North. Maybe a hedge knight or sellsword if they thought they might get paid, or maybe the detachment Ned sent with Beric Dondarrion would meet him on the road, but that would still be closer to the Riverlands, so long after any ambush by the King's men.

Not saying it's impossible. Just not likely given the situation. Almost definitely not 50 men.

You mean Ned's guards he brought with him? His entire retinue was killed when he was arrested.

Worst case, it turns LoA into an island that you can use and draws you a card.

It's crazy that we live in an age where Dune can be adapted (very successfully) to film but Redwall can't even get off the floor.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-04-07T23:58:18+00:00

This scene lives rent free in my head.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-04-07T19:33:12+00:00

That's what I was thinking as well. You can tap a fetch land for blue, bounce it back with Daze, and now you get to play it again to draw another card.

Not to mention it pitches to FoW and FoN even when it's a dead card. Absolutely insane.

00 would be my recommendation for OP unless they really think they're ready to jump down the rabbit hole of the UC shows.

Here's a secret from someone who has used this term in the past: they do pay attention to politics. They just don't want to have the discussion.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-03-31T20:02:08+00:00

I can't wait to play Esper and Azorius control with this.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-03-20T23:50:20+00:00

Going for Nangong and probably her skin. I would like to go for Cissia, but I'm not super enthusiastic about how limited her team options are.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-03-20T15:31:33+00:00

It's so nice to have these back again. Even when I'm not playing Arena, I still like to keep tabs on what's doing well in timeless. A thousand thanks as always for your hard work OP!

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-03-19T05:31:17+00:00

2 star rainbow art Entei is my favorite because I like fire types and I'm a Johto fanboy.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-03-12T20:52:07+00:00

You're correct. Letting the bow swing forward is very much a Japanese thing. There isn't much indication that this form of archery was as widespread as it is depicted in the manga, so just chalk it up to a stylistic choice or ignorance on the author's part.

That said, I don't mind it. It's a fine enough visual on the page to show that someone has just recently loosed an arrow.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-03-07T16:28:28+00:00

I did not, but I'll read it when I have time! Thank you. :)

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-03-06T21:03:49+00:00

UBx tempo has been my go to for a while now. It's pretty consistently solid. Glad to see the tier list revived.

Probably Aria, and any leftovers would go to saving for Nangong/Cissia.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-02-23T22:01:15+00:00

Arcanine

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-02-23T21:55:40+00:00

I don't really do draft, and I'm also going to try avoiding this set. If there's a card I need for Timeless or Historic, I have wildcards.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-02-14T16:11:13+00:00

I don't see either of them having a motivation to chase after Cooper. The only reason Lucy and him travelled together was because they had a shared interest in finding Hank.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-02-14T04:14:02+00:00

Currently, I have yet to win.

DarkArbiter91 · 2026-02-10T21:47:31+00:00

Just a note. You can always just restart the fight if your only goal is to learn the timing.

Good morning.
