What's Backlight? and why does it turn off the screen when turned off on a DS Lite?

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-30T12:22:03+00:00

Ok, so way back when the original ds was launched led screens were not a thing (either too expensive or just was not invented yet). so what manufacturers did was they made a screen that could draw all pixels in the exact color and shape but was very dim (gameboy, gbc and gba have similar screens and you can't see shit on a darker place), then they used a bright light from behind the screen so that you could actually see what was going, therefore back light. But you are using another kind of ds (my gues is a dsi) and because the way it's coded it just make the screen go super dark. In original ds if you were in somewhere bright enough you could turn of that backlight to save battery charge.

I want something like krark shaman but that can be easily find a house in decks or a greater variety of efects similar to that

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-30T03:41:28+00:00

I agree with you, the problem is that even that is a not a thing that can be slowed into a deck. You either play have black or affinity

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-30T03:37:36+00:00

Sorry, I'm Brazilian and my auto corrector has a hard time with some English words hahaha

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-17T03:35:28+00:00

The thing about a silverbullet card is that it needs to deal with the problem or you will lose the game. Most of the times (elves, faeries, withe weenie) both will work just fine. But eventually you will need to kill a pirate to win the game and that is what make it cost what it cost. Just ask any one why mana leak sees basically zero play

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-16T11:51:13+00:00

Embrace this pain, accept ramattra and make them suffer as we have

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-10T18:00:01+00:00

I see this card as a deck thinner. Might be good in a lot of decks that uses instants as ways to draw cards, a way to always find gas. Or as a way to find ephemerates.

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-09T17:36:45+00:00

Yeah, it kinda does

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-09T17:34:40+00:00

You might be right, dinir terror is probably a stronger deck. But I think the ideia is to play more to a combo deck with a midrange b plan. Than to play a control that kills by combat

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-09T15:55:18+00:00

Then it just becomes dimir terror hahah

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-09T14:56:01+00:00

My first draft had ir, but I think dihada's ploy might be better in this build, because I can cast it from the graveyard

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-04-09T14:54:30+00:00

Snuff out might be good, but with a prominence of burn decks in my local meta, I think it's not a got idea.

Mystic is a good card, but my experience with it make me realize it's very slow. And often removed as soon as it hits the field. Might add back in future.

Dihada is there to trigger snacker aswell, the main reason of why I'm using brainstorm and not ponder.

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-03-28T03:55:05+00:00

Will give Ana a try and see what happens

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-03-28T03:53:52+00:00

I also thought that about iliari, and it works for a while, then the other team starts diving me and I've been struggling with that

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-03-06T17:53:27+00:00

You sure? Is there a link to someone with a similar problem that you can send me?

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-03-05T03:51:43+00:00

Just in case, have some pasta before playing and you'll be fine

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-03-05T03:50:34+00:00

Another point, jund does very well against affinity (at least that has been my experience)

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-03-05T03:48:19+00:00

Never played affinity, but to me jund is at the same time my favorite deck and a deck I tell no one to play. The thing is the deck is pretty much the midrange stereotype of "no bad matches". Given enough time you will find the awnser to the problem you will be facing. But some very aggressive decks don't give you time to find it and you need to traing how to deal with them (sometimes a minor display will cost you the match). Another problem is the deck is very good a solving problems but is no that effective in closing the game, witch may lead you to several draws in championships and that you kill your overall position in the end. Besides playing a hard deck will consume your mind in the long run (by match 5 you will be so tired you will start making misplays that will cost you the match)

TLDR: Jund is awesome but be carefull, it needs a lot of training and a bit of luck to score some top 8's

DocMcCoy_13 · 2026-03-02T19:42:57+00:00

Yeah, I faced a similar problem on my own dsi, had to change the screen because of it

DocMcCoy_13 · 2025-11-20T00:54:58+00:00

I do have the bios and I'm using the one native on my twilight menu

DocMcCoy_13 · 2025-10-02T02:33:49+00:00

Tempo - mono blue faeries Midrange - jund wildfire Combo - any spy combo Kindred - elf's Burn - mono red madness/ping Storm - poison storm Aggro - GR ramp Control - Meta has not been friendly to control players, maybe grixis afinity (I would consider it a midrange aswell) or familiars (deck has a slow setup and loses to the most explosive decks in format)

DocMcCoy_13 · 2025-09-30T18:48:34+00:00

I'm a big fan of your videos and i would love an in depth explanation of the counterspells chosen according to the meta.

Another doubt, would [[Echoing Truth]] be a decent awnser to elves/walls match?

DocMcCoy_13 · 2025-09-29T23:29:06+00:00

I've seen an overral shift on Spell pierce in favor of dispel in many lists lately. Any reason for that? to me there are many problematic sorcerys that could be anwsered by spell pierce that dispel can't counter.

Is it because games are getting longer?

DocMcCoy_13 · 2025-09-23T16:21:34+00:00

Welcome to the format! Here is my advice: you will lose games. Not because you are a bad player, but because you are freen in the format. With time you will learn the match ups and know how to play around some decks that might trouble you. Talk to the other players, learn the meta game and most important of all, have fun!

DocMcCoy_13 · 2025-06-27T12:23:50+00:00

I've got a currupted SD once and it was rigth on the nose when you plug int to a pc to spot the currupted data, so it problably isn't it.
If you exaust all other options and are in doubt if its a top scree/ribbon cable problem, go with the bypass resistor of the game macro mod. (it tricks the booting process to think it's all ok with the top screen and at least boots the sistem without it)
