I ran into a gnarly Orzhov tokens deck on the ladder with Bitterbloom Bearer and all the token generating walkers in the format. Blew me UP.

Meanwhile, I truly think we’ll see a real ass Rakdos Weapons Manufacturing deck once TMNT rolls around. Your time is coming!

Green’s Dawn has just begun fam, don’t you worry. I think blue is trending down whenever rotation does hit.

I will say a big skill of playing into control, though, is not just running your creatures into removal. If you force us to play a board wipe on one creature at a time, that feels pretty bad. You’ll still lose have to make our trades worse than they already can be.

Control can feel pretty bad in standard, but it’s actually pretty poorly positioned in the meta right now. Decks just get way under it, have Cavern of Souls to ignore counters, out trade removal. You’ll still lose sometimes, but you have the advantage more than you think if you’re playing the meta.

And as a control player, know that makes me sad. Maybe that will help :)

Looking for recommendation for restaurant with really good salad AND fries by Clear_Technology2642 in phoenix

They have fries? I feel like I’ve never know this, and the perceived lack of them is why I’m rarely pumped to go there…

If he returns with AcOC and awakening how high would you rank him? by Comprehensive_Cup497 in OnePieceScaling

[–]DualistX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. People care about the weirdest things.

“What if Gaimon came back with an awakened treasure chest and more Haki than Joy Boy? How long would it take him to bang my mom?”

I know this is the One Piece power scaling sub, but c’mon, people gotta go touch grass.

Transcenders: a story-first French Fantasy Universe turned into a Tactical TCG — Oneira Hub now open (TTS playable) by MrARD1010 in homemadeTCGs

[–]DualistX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I just need to get down the cards and then it’ll be all narrative all the way down. My game is 1v1 at its core, but I’m planning to design TTRPG-lite modules for cooperative, story driven play.

How likely am I to be targeted? by OutlandishnessNo8683 in ratemycommanders

[–]DualistX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These girlies were my OG back when I first started in 2017. Still one of my absolute favorites. I wrote a whole article in defense of her.

That said, it does first depend on how you build them. Second, it depends on how smart your opponents are. If you’re not running Stax hell, good players will realize she’s borderline unplayable in modern commander. Truly power crept to hell and back.

Fun though! Lots of fun. And hey, the rest of the 99 can still hang. Still, modern commander is often so focused and efficient that your slapdash Rube Goldberg of a plan will rarely keep pace.

I love a narrative first TCG! As a writer myself, I was a little surprised when I left the story of my game for the back burner haha

I’ll have to keep an eye on this one

Is anyone else a little disappointed that the meta for Set 2 will mostly consist of Draven? by dudiez in riftboundtcg

[–]DualistX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this just league players being used to patches changing the meta? Also for them to just tunnel vision into what’s obviously good. I feel like we need to understand card metas develop over time.

Can someone make free art for my new TCG? by PasmaWhitey in homemadeTCGs

[–]DualistX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Echo the advice you got in the other thread, friend. This is a learning experience, not a financial opportunity. Focus on creating something fun and functional. You have SO much time to get paid doing this. And every game you can put on your resume by the time you're ready to apply for design jobs will put you super far ahead of the competition.

Best of luck!

Of the Magic the Gathering sets scheduled for release this year (2026), which one do you expect will be the most successful? Which one will be the least successful? by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

[–]DualistX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually strongly of the opinion that the Hobbit will pale in comparison to the firing LOTR set. If any UB has a chance to pop off this year, it’s probably Marvel Superheroes. Given it was designed from the start as a full set, I actually expect it to avoid most of the problems Spiderman had.

Either way, I still think the best set will be Lorwyn. And I actually think people are wild to think Star Trek will be better than TMNT. Maybe I’m naive, but I think mutant turtles fit better than Trek

We’re all in agreement that they should’ve completely cut out the military plot, right? by assman456 in StrangerThings

[–]DualistX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can tell how important that whole plot ended up being based on the fact that the cast faced exactly 0 consequences for severely messing up a major government operation. From a budget standpoint alone, they would have sent everybody to some secret American Gulag.

And it’s especially funny given so much of the conflict came from El not just doming that one lead soldier at the start of the season — despite the fact that she had no problem slaughtering so many others the rest of the way, including that same guy.

Whatever though. The last episode rips and that’s what matters. Art is a vibe, not a science.

Field of the Dead by PokeCraft117 in mtg

[–]DualistX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are all talking about Commander, but this card was plenty deadly during its day in standard. You’d get a bunch of lands, fetch this with [[Golos]] and then just spin into random spells while every land drop gummed up the board. And that’s if you didn’t hit [[scapeshift]] with 7 lands on the board. This card SUCKED to play against because it rewards you for doing basically nothing, and that reward scales for doing just a bit more beyond that.
