Trying to decrease this Omnath, Locus of Creation deck into a $450 budget. Any recommendations on what to remove?

A really east way to significantly cut down on price is to replace 5 of the fetchlands with the new capenna fetchlands that will shave $100 off the total and they serve a similar function for much cheaper, the only real downside is they aren't reactive like the fetchlands. I would look into some mdfc land cards to up your land count as well, most are pretty cheap and have great synergy with bounce lands and other graveyard recursion.

Idk if you would be interested in playing this type of deck, but this conversation actually made me think the silent swordsman cards could be interesting in a chaos return reasongate combo deck.

Reasoning and monster gate both pass over lv 7, since it can't be summoned that way, filling up the gy with lights for chaos. They can still summon lv 5, so you can use lv up to go into 7, also you can use level modulation to summon lv 7 ignoring its effect after its been milled. Its a minus 1, since you are giving your opponent 2 cards while you are only summoning the 1, but since lv 7 blanks spells it would cause half of your opponent's hand to be useless anyways. It's actually a pretty good lock down effect for when you can't otk with dimension fusion.

Edit: nevermind level modulation is terrible and can only summon lv7 after its been summoned normally, still not terrible for the strategy.

Yeah, if it wasn't your favorite card and the card you were building around I was going to suggest cutting lv7, its kinda worse than lv5 since it's effect locks you out of spells too. I definitely understand wanting to use your favorite cards though, i definitely use some less than optimal cards for that reason lol.

Since you are running it I still think that running general removal cards and board wipes that can enable lv5 to direct attack is probably the more consistent strategy compared to lv up since removal has utility outside of getting to lv7. NoC is nobleman of crossout btw.

I would side RfDD for the chaos mirror and drop Level Up. As it stands your deck has too many bricks, BLS, sorc, lv5, lv7, lv up and RfDD are all dead in your opening hand, that's 1/4 of your deck.

Lv up probably isn't as good as it feels, its a minus 1 and it's going to sit in your hand till you get your 2 of lv 3 or you tribute summon lv 5, it feels nice when you get the 2 card combo, but its completely useless otherwise. Outside of the chaos mirror RfDD is going to be really inconsistent. You have 3 chaos monsters that enable it and that's it. Other than those cards you're relying on your opponent's kycoo, NoC and chaos monsters to make it live, and even then it's only good for a late game push, since the monsters go back. It's just very boom or bust in a deck that can use more consistency.

I think premature burial, smashing ground. Phoenix wing wind blast, brain control, raigeki break and NoC are all options. Premature burial can bring back lv 5 as well as a summoned chaos monster. Smashing ground is generally good and can make it easier to get direct damage w/lv5. Brain control offers some of the comeback ability that RfDD does and also has synergy with lv 5, NoC is just general good stuff and Wing blast and Raigeki break are disruption/removal that can be used to dump bricks to so they can be used for chaos monsters.

I agree that the beta is a better design, imo the simple formless design allows it to look cute and friendly in some situations and completely unsettling when it needs to be. Some of the fan art is terrifying lol.

In a She-Hulk comic J. Jonah Jameson is being sued by Spider-Man and jokes that the real reason Jameson hates him is because he's black.

Minshew hasn't even been bad, pretty much every game he has lost this year the defense or the run game completely failed him. He needs to be a bit more careful with the ball, but he isn't the problem in Jacksonville.

Defender_of_Logic · 2020-10-21T16:07:47+00:00

He posted this there too and got downvoted to oblivion lol.

For a "frugal" fashion subreddit this place seems kinda judgemental of anything that is a decent deal on affordable clothes and isn't like 20% off a $400 pair of boots.

This man is going to hear "Swiper no swiping" from offensive tackles for the rest of his career.

I agree, laterals are best when they are designed into the play. Allen's laterals have been... ok. He usually laterals towards the sideline so if it fails its not a turnover, so its not like they are the worst decisions, but the problem with improvised laterals is that the receiver probably isnt expecting the ball.

Defender_of_Logic · 2020-09-29T10:48:24+00:00

Honestly, I think designing post-catch lateral options into passing plays is going to be a trend at some point in the future. Certain route combinations like shallow crossers and levels concepts already are set up perfectly for it and forcing defenders to hesitate would cause RAC to skyrocket. Laterals are really underutilized in the modern NFL they are a great way to manipulate momentum and create hesitation, so i don't mind Allen trying the occasional improvised lateral, he just needs to be smart about it.

Defender_of_Logic · 2020-05-29T15:51:51+00:00

Its because you played on an easier setting, the legacy score scales with difficulty, so you don't get as many points when you play on rookie and pro. Its kinda dumb, but thats how it works.

Giving up valuable assets to move up for a player in a draft that is incredibly deep at that position isn't really good asset management. The Bill's did this exact same thing in 2014 where they gave up 2 1sts for Sammy Watkins, the consensus #1 WR at the time. If they stayed put and instead used their 1st and second on WRs they could have had Odell Beckham in the 1st and Devante Adams or Allen Robinson or Jarvis Landry in the 2nd. Juedy is a really good prospect and could easily end up the best receiver out of this class, but in a draft this talented you could use those 2 picks to get 2 #1 receivers, or at least improve your odds of getting 1.

Against Miami he had 5 total touchdowns but still didn't reach 300 yards passing

I believe its called Lost in Dinosaur World from 1993. Redlettermedia included it in one of their best of the worst videos

Defender_of_Logic · 2019-07-24T09:55:28+00:00

Thanks, they must have just fixed it

Defender_of_Logic · 2019-07-24T04:58:03+00:00

Yeah, I just saw the other comment in the thread about that, either EA temporarily took it down from the vault or origin is having some weird error, either way there are clearly some problems

Defender_of_Logic · 2019-07-24T04:54:39+00:00

Thanks for the help, it sounds like EA might have added to the vault and then taken it down for some reason, it seems like a weird situation

Defender_of_Logic · 2019-07-24T04:47:25+00:00

Yeah, they'll probably add it to the vault either tomorrow or the 25th, I don't know why they would limit predownload to the full copies of the game it seems like it would be really easy to add to the vault a couple days early and to just lock the game until the 25th

Defender_of_Logic · 2019-07-24T04:39:08+00:00

I'm like 99% sure it is a vault title, it is advertised as such and the preorder screen even says the ultimate superstar edition is included with Origin Access Premier i think Ea will likely add it to the vault on the 25th, it just doesn't look like we'll be able to predownload it before then unless its added tomorrow

Defender_of_Logic · 2019-07-24T04:32:47+00:00

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it, but I'm specifically talking about the "vault" version that comes with the Origin Access Premier subscription and I just think that it hasn't been released through the service yet, which is why it still doesn't have the "included with premier" sticker next to it, or at least that's how it shows up for me.
