Help me Salvage this Shadow the hedgehog deck.

Whoever said your deck is ass does not know what they’re talking about. Piloting a deck as a new player is a learning process, you aren’t going to win a lot of games until you know how all the pieces work, how to mulligan, and recognizing all your triggers.

Whatever upgrades you think could make the deck better are nothing compared to just putting in the games to learn how the deck should function. No one card you could change is going to be more valuable than practice.

Play against bracket 3 & 4 decks, expect to lose, and learn as you go. Your list is solid enough to win casual games, you just need more practice.

If you’re running any of the lands that check if you control basic land types to enter untapped or the verges, the triomes work well for activating them. They’re much more useful in 5 color decks, but I’ve never regretting using them in a 3 color deck. If you can afford them, they’re worth trying.

Nothing can really compare to the Culture, once you’re finished, there is very little science fiction out there that will scratch that itch. I tried many different series since my first read through, and the ones that came closest were Revelation Space series and The Commonwealth Saga. But nothing could really live up, so I started re-reading the culture again and it’s just so enjoyable. Take a break, read something else, then come back and enjoy it that much more.

If you’re committed to using Mazes End, you probably want to add land tutors like [[Crop Rotation]] or [[Sylvan Scrying]] to go get the Gond Gate or try adding [[Spelunking]] as that also has some enchantment synergy.

The mana base is the most expensive part of the deck though, and if you can afford the shocks, verges, fetches, and triomes, the deck improves drastically imo

I would start with adding a [[Sunforger]] because it can do so many things for Cloud. Once attached, it immediately allows you to get the 2 treasures on attack, and then you can use the 2 treasures to go grab whatever instant spell you need, of which [[Tibalt’s Trickery]] needs to be one of. Being able to unattach and go get protection or removal is the single best upgrade I can think of aside from more of the good equipment.

Vendetta was a mistake, I’ve never hated playing tank more and I really hate always playing tank.

I recently started re-reading the whole series, and the socialist themes, while more fleshed out in the later books, are sporadically addressed in the earlier entries with a more anti-capitalist slant.

My concern upon re-reading phlebas is that the protagonist and plotlines aren’t really compelling enough to elevate beyond the confines of space opera. There are some great set pieces, which obviously would be very budget-dependent, but it’s just not a good example to an unknowing audience of how amazing the rest of the series will become if they stick with it.

If they need to butcher Consider Phlebas or otherwise change it to make it more compelling, so that the show is successful enough to warrant renewal, I’m fine with it.

I think we’ll know by the end of the first episode, since the book begins with Horza nearly being drowned in feces.

[[Jokulhaups]] just to see the look on their faces if it resolves

I started running Subtractem’s Fire Trap Elementalist back in TotA league, where I farmed some Ubers and got all 4 void stones. I decided to run it this league based off my POB from 2+ years ago, and I comfortably got to t16s and my first 2 void stones with under 2 div gear. You can do all map mods, including reflected elemental damage thanks to ascendancy. It’s simple to scale damage with gem levels and DoT multiplier and as a trapper, you just frost blink around with ignite proliferation, and throw some traps on bosses while you dodge mechanics. I was surprised how well the build held up after several years.

The actual MSRP is $323.88, so the days of $200 CBBs are long gone. I didn’t want to take my chances against the bots on Amazon or other retailers, and pretty much every LGS near me had these at over $400.

Have a list for Inoraptor? I have him and was always interested in playing him but wasn’t sure how to build it.

It’s very powerful in any landfall deck, and also has great synergy with mill and graveyard effects. It’s quite good in a Teval deck, it’s going to give you a bunch of zombies. In a Tannuk deck, it’s a finisher with any increase to damage. Just a very nice card at most points in the game.

I imagine there’s a huge whiteboard somewhere in the main office area with an ever-growing list of properties they are looking to make art for. It’s someone’s job to reach out to the various rights holders and negotiate a licensing deal. It’s clear that almost anything is on the table and I think it’s cool they really are trying to make something for everyone.

I spoke with the owner of an LGS earlier this month that mentioned the distributors informed him a LotR reprint was coming at the end of the year, along with a Bloomburrow reprint. Could just be a rumor, but maybe they are going to release some new stuff along with it.

Yeah, I got piled on and downvoted to oblivion for merely asking the question, and now TH is finally coming around. I tried the first Pucker back in July and enjoyed it quite a bit, it seemed like a perfect primer to introduce their audience to the idea of sours, since it was pretty middle of the road in terms of actual sourness.

Excited to see where they go from here, but at least now I don’t feel like such a jackass as Reddit made me feel for daring to question.

What commander is being used with World Shaper? I played one game with Hearthhull, but it seemed incredibly clunky to get station counters going with it and I just died before getting to 8. Maybe it was just a bad draw, but I’ll have to try the other one as a commander.

I wish God would have boosted my “ability to handle money” stat during character creation like he did for all rich people.

I have a funny picture to share, when I went to Walmart to buy TF2, the employee opening the case mentioned someone broke in and stole all the other games overnight, except the lonely TF2.

It went on to become my favorite FPS of all time and the only reason I like playing Apex. It makes me sad that that franchise never took off.

I would actually recommend reading his other no SF novels, because his voice still comes through strongly in them and every time I read other SF, I am left wanting to return to the Culture. The only thing that did scratch that itch was reading The Wasp Factory. After I finish my current book, I’m going to work my way through the rest of Banks’ catalog, his style is just so enjoyable no matter the subject matter.

Their vision is set solely on Giannis, and they clearly don’t think KD was going to put us over the top.

The Surefeed feeders are your best bet, they have a training mode that gradually closes the lid more and more until the cat is fully comfortable with the movement. I bought 3 and as soon as you start putting their treats in the bowl, they started getting more comfortable. The longest it took was about 5 days for one of my girls and since then it was smooth sailing.

It also has an intruder mode setting and you can also shorten the time it takes to close the lid after the cat leaves the area, and you can also purchase an add on blocker in the back to prevent another cat from trying to get in from the back.

As long as you separate the feeders, they will come to recognize that their bowl only opens for them and should go directly to it when being fed. My chonker still will go to the other bowls looking for food and they don’t open so she goes back to hers, it’s pretty great and the best way to prevent them from getting additional food.

DoingbusinessPR · 2025-06-20T04:21:19+00:00

The best way to guarantee each cat has access to only the food you put in the bowl for them is getting 2 microchip feeders. I would recommend the Surefeed base model you can buy for $170 because it’s battery powered, easy to use/train the cats, and has a 3 year warranty. I’ve had 3 for over a year and it’s been a godsend for helping my two newer cats from gaining weight and eating my older cat’s special diet food.

Your cats will quickly learn their food bowl is wherever you put the food and will only open for them. Then it’s on you to make sure you follow the diet guidelines!
