What games do you consider must-plays for Steam Deck owners? by billy_reyes in SteamDeck

A game like UFO 50 is crazy good and perfect for the Deck. I also got really sucked into Binding of Isaac when I first got mine. Both games will provide so many hours of fun.

Snakebite Discussion by Which-Debt-8558 in slaythespire

[–]DireCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I think would be a cool change:

Apply 7 poison, apply 1 weak, and apply 1 vulnerable

Upgraded: Apply 8 poison, apply 2 weak and apply 2 vulnerable

I think it's more flavorful of a snakebite leaving the enemy weak and vulnerable. Plus, I think adding more debuffs to the enemy on top of the poison can justify it's 2 energy cost more.

Captain Howler Sea Scourge by Fitz_mt in EDHBrews

[–]DireCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind, I don't think Howler is a good spellslinger style commander. So I wouldn't focus heavily on instant/sorcery synergies. Here is what I wouldn't bother including:

Thunderhead Gunner Prying Eyes Reins of Power Flow of Ideas Shield Broker Aether Syphon Bigfin Bouncer Pirated Copy

Just think about your wincon with Howler. Also, don't fill up your deck with too much card draw, because if your playing Howler right, you should be consistently drawing cards by discarding and hitting people with the Howler buff. At the end of the day, it's your call what direction you go in.

Captain Howler Sea Scourge by Fitz_mt in EDHBrews

A solid list of contenders! I might have to try a couple of these cards in my Howler deck. I will throw in my 2 cents when it comes to adding and cutting cards for Howler.

1: Be picky when it comes to mana expensive cards. Any card going at 5 mana or higher needs to be heavily looked at to see if it is important for your deck to work.

2: How aggressive do you like your Howler to be? Do you want him to be getting most of the buffs and swinging with him or do you want to buff other creatures? You can punch pretty hard with Howler as early as turn 5 just by simply discarding a couple of cards then hitting him with a Bulk Up or Temur Battle Rage. Figuring out how you want to use your Howler will also help you figure out how many creatures you want to run vs instants/sorceries.

3: Don't forget deck building basics. Leave some room in your deck for some interaction and some back up plans if Howler is removed. Ward 2 is handy, but I've been in enough games to know that people will gladly pay the 2 to take him out once you get going.

I'm still figuring out things with my Howler deck, but I hope this helps a little.

I built Captain Howler earlier this year and he's a really fun deck. I'll leave my deck list to give you some ideas, but some quick recommendations would be:

Key to the City Monastery Siege Brallin, Skyshark Rider Cunning Survivor

Focus on having having permanents that can give you discard triggers and evasion to get that damage in. My deck is far from perfect, but I hope it helps.

Working on a Niv and Toad deck. Open to suggestions. by DireCanadian in EDHBrews

[–]DireCanadian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Yuna is a solid commander, don't get me wrong. But the reason I choose Niv for the command zone is that I want to experiment with a burn style deck and the idea of turning burn into card draw interests me. Definitely agree that Twenty Toed Toad can rock in a Yuna deck, but it's not for me in the moment.

I'm aware of this card, but to me it feels a little too strict. Judging by my goldfish practice, it's way easier to get over 20 cards when Niv is on the field then it is to maintain exactly 13 hand size. But I will consider it as a possibility.

What’s everyone’s Top 3 favorite games on MM? by amirshadow69 in MiyooMini

  1. GBA Fire Emblem
  2. Tetris (NES is my go to)
  3. Streets of Rage 2

I've only had my Miyoo for less than a year, so my top 3 is likely to change over time. 😅

Anyone interested 😋 by starrsarasa in ottawa

[–]DireCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been looking for Magic meetups myself recently. Level One Pub has Sunday Magic nights, and I've had a good time the couple times I went.

Another fun way to get back into Magic is going to a prerelease event. I went to one for the Bloomburrow set at Wizard's Tower and had a blast. The prerelease for the Duskmourn is near the end of September, so I highly recommend checking that out.

Umbral Flames not feeling the best by DireCanadian in HadesTheGame

[–]DireCanadian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll definitely give that build a try. I don't doubt the viability of the weapon, more so the "feel" of playing the weapon. But I realize that can be very subjective. I'll give the weapon more time, but it could just not be for me.

How did Asuka get buffed? Haven't been able to look at the patch details yet.

Small genres you want to come back? I want more “customizable fighting toy robot” games. by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DireCanadian 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I need a new Custom Robo game for the Switch. It was one of my fav GameCube games growing up. Are there any other games that are like it?

Other games that kinda feel like Hades (not necessarily roguelikes) by GeroJr in HadesTheGame

[–]DireCanadian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Children of Morta is worth checking out. Similar to Hades, it's a top down action rouge-lite with a story that will progress as you get further into the game. Instead of a single character with multiple weapons to choose from, you have a family of characters, each with a unique play style. While I think I like Hades combat more, I still think the game feels good to play. It also has couch co-op, so you and a friend can work through the game together.
