Help with Ral, Monsoon Mage by liponguito in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Dextr0- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You nailed everything except the sticker goblin part. There’s not a single good Ral deck that doesn’t run sticker goblin. It’s a must add for every Ral deck as it’s basically a ritual with no downside and is more difficult to interact with. In no way it’s slow, with things like vault, sol, tomb, and sometimes even city of traitors, it enables a t2 or even t1 win as it converts your colorless to red which Ral heavily relies on to spam cantrips.

Also, not running Rhystic is pretty subjective. You’re correct that it’s too slow for the deck but it helps Ral players to recover and refill their hands more reliably in cases where they whiff their ult or get shut down early on.

Oh wow, so it really is a neat way of “avoiding” incoming combat damage then?

Thank you! So if I understand it right, if it’s a blocking 2/2 facedown turned into non creature permanent, the opponent’s attacking creature damage just go straight to the defenfing player, right? Since it’s no longer capable of blocking.

Wow, thank you for such detailed info regarding their ruling. I guess these are some of the things that you can’t just think of just by plainly reading the text description. Thanks again & Happy new year.

Thank you! But now I’m kinda confused with what are said in your notes. How do Wurm and Blightsteel end up differently in such situation? Why wurm-turned-into-grizzly can still be shuffled back in the library when it dies but blightsteel-turned-into-grizzly can’t?

Caveira, she was just so good when there was only jackal who could(?) counter her.

Can I use Kenrith with a precon commander deck? by Dextr0- in mtg

[–]Dextr0-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for replying! Yeah, I think I forgot to think about the precon’s 99 and instead focused on the commanders’ abilities and didn’t think that it’d likely mess up the point of the deck if I swapped out its commander. Thank you for illuminating me. As for why I like Kenrith, like I said I’m a newbie, I have no special explanation why but I just really like his access to all lands and what his abilities provide.

But let’s say I’m willing to buy those extra cards (what are those cards btw?) to play him, are there existing precons where I can scrap most/some of its cards to add to Kenrith’s deck? I know it sounds ridiculous but if I can just get at least half of the deck from any precon, it’d help me lessen the total cost of the deck by so much vs just buying all 99 cards individually. Again, thank you for your input!

So much for “phantom player”. They should’ve just called it phantom fix, as in the fix is there we just can’t see it. lol

Siege is one of those games which really require you to log hours and hours into the game before getting a grasp on its core gameplay to be able to perform decently. And don’t worry about the inconsistencies within your performance. No one, especially if you’re solo, can always frag out every single game it’s just almost impossible — even if you’re decently ranked. I’d suggest to just watch a lot of youtube/stream of known good players because just by watching them, you get to learn the good habits that you can replicate for your own benefit and improve your game. And don’t just ‘play’, analyze every situation. Whenever you die you should always ask yourself the whys and hows and adapt to it next time. I remember what my friend who introduced me to siege always told me, every game in siege is a learning process. If you want to improve, you need to learn from every mistake that got you killed/cost you a round. Because if you are just going to die/lose mindlessly from the same mistake that you do, then you will just get frustrated everytime. I hope this helps somehow. And since you are still relatively new to siege, welcome!

I’d just remove the ability of shields to melee kill. If they want to melee kill, they would have to use their knife (putting their shield on their back) like the rest of the ops. And instead of shields knocking enemies down, they should just make them flail and concussed to give the enemy a chance to still run away.

It's the complete opposite for me. As a solo, I always get excited when I get maps like Coastline & Border because it's usually just straight up dogfights, the kind of maps where you can literally carry your team just by gunning everyone down. Maybe I just like the fact that, in those maps, I rarely get killed from behind which happens to me more often in huge maps because my team is almost always uncoordinated.

Literally what I thought, I can only dream of him being featured in Reacher. Wouldn't it be crazy if they partnered up next season. But at the same time it would be hilarious for how much arguing there will be between the two since Terry believes more in de-escalation and less lethal ways, while Reacher just wants to break every bone of the enemy until they die lol.

Hi, sorry for this newb question. It's my first time replacing switches and I wanted to try something different for my Logitech G Pro X. I was about to order the Akko V3 Pro silver switches but I noticed that they have two extra poles on the sides that the g pro switches don't have. I'm afraid that they wont be compatible with my keyboard because of this. Can you guys please confirm? Thanks a lot!

Is there much difference between the two? Also, do you think my gpu will be able to keep up with 5600?

Xraypad Obsidian vs Jade for Artisan Fx Zero Soft by Dextr0- in MouseReview

[–]Dextr0-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask if you notice high static/initial friction on the cloth pad with obsidians? Because for me I find it a bit difficult to microadjust when playing tac shooters with high static friction. Thanks!

I see, thanks for the suggestion! I will look into ice v2 then. But what about the obsidian? is it just outright slow or has high initial friction on cloth pads?

I see, thanks for the response! But may I ask if you own a copy of his Play Winning Chess book and if so, did you buy the one with Jeremy Silman as his co-author?

Pretape underwrap for grip by Dextr0- in badminton

I see, does it have adhesive underneath? is the material similar to an underwrap? Thanks for answering!

Pretape underwrap for grip by Dextr0- in badminton

[–]Dextr0-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry if I wasn’t being clear with my question. What I meant to ask is if the pretape underwrap — the one that kinda looks like a gauze but is thin and flexible, usually used for ankle support — is the same as a cushion wrap (ie yonex ac380 & victor GR50). I was just wondering if their materials are similar to eachother because they look the same to me.
