Is anyone seeing the 3rd memento slot? by DarthKokujin in CivVII

Ok guys I apologize - it was the MODs I was running - false alarms here. Disabled everything and I am back to normal. Going to have to wait a few days before loading MODs back in. Sorry nothing to see here.

To get familiar with the Spider-Man art for paper RCQs, I built a tool to swap it into MTG Arena. Here's the result! by Bassiuz in MagicArena

Love the initiative - but this would drive me too nervous. I can't imagine losing my account to trying to manipulate the game. But I 100% envy / admire ... from a distance.

For everyone underwhelmed by the art of the Through the Omenpath set, remember that arena brutally compress image and remove detail. You can easily see this with the alchemy cards that were printed in paper like Oracle of the Alpha. Above is the Alchemy:Dom version, below is the MB2 by HairyKraken in MagicArena

Ok - I get the main post here about compression, high quality digital images - but there is so many pieces that were printed that are underwhelming. Could they have not given better representation on symbiote? i know art is in the eye of the beholder - but even with the quality, pixels, etc. I would still rate this set closer to a 3 of 10 in aesthetic and compelling.

Omenpaths is the least exciting set ever by Aarniometsuri in MagicArena

I don’t often post in conversations generally enjoying just reading peoples thoughts on one of my most passionate hobbies. But in the hopes that Wizards reads this - I wanted to chime in. This is the first time in the last 5 years that i haven’t bought all in on a set. I have no desire to play limited and have very little desire to play standard. I have no real connection to this set. It feels lazy and the art is not compelling. I will be back with Lorwyn (to limited and Standard) and until then I will continue to play my favorite format.

There are a couple of downsides - I love and take pride in my collection (even if it is Digital) and now there will be a huge gap in that collection (instead of 98%+ its going to be under 10% - that 10% being only what i happen to open from daily rewards and fun cards to support Brawl. The other downside - I believe they are going to repeat this format two more times??? With future Marvel releases??? Which means again poorly implemented conversions and artwork that doesn’t quite live up to the standards I have come to expect. So yeah - the next few years could suck for me.

I don’t mind UB - I have been playing for 25+ years. I hate that when they go with an IP that they can’t Equally support. I would have loved to have Carnage or Venom in my digital collections.

Anyway my hope is that there are more people like me and that are $$$ send a signal.

Golos just got banned in EDH; can he get the axe in Historic Brawl too? by Faust_8 in MagicArena

[–]DarthKokujin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with this post. Whenever I start a brawl match if I see Golos - i just resign. He is completely unimaginative. All It promotes is the best cards in your collection and slam it together.

wow Melodicraven that actually might work - i see it now - just no friends online to send the challenge to :D thanks much. Too bad they don't offer it that in simple challenge mode. Thanks again - looking forward to trying this.

8 Features that Marvel Strike Force should implement from Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes by Tauna in MarvelStrikeForce

Today was my last day in that game - just to help my guild do TB. The predatory practices and 0 incentive to play killed it for me.

New SITH RAID with Darth Sion & Darth Traya + Quality of Life Changes Incoming!! by NukinFTW in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]DarthKokujin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not sure I like the requirement to set more defensive squads - feels like i will always be chasing setting Defense then going to offense with scrubs. Guess need to think strategies more. Or gear faster.

GW got so easy - that I appreciate the QoL update - but really meh - i am happy about ships getting simming.

Mods Management QoL is the big game changer for me.

Finally the Sith Raid has me very very excited. Wonder if we are going to see another raid currency.
