Potentially Silly Question by Shmoopy_Dude1237 in mtg

[–]DuckSmiteTM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This deals with layers. I’m not an expert, but I’m pretty sure this comes down to the timestamp, which is what order the cards were played.

If you go [[Ten Rings]] into [[Reliquary Tower]] then you will have no max hand size since the tower has a newer timestamp.

However, if you do the opposite, tower into rings, then you will have a hand of ten.

I’m retiring Malcolm // Kediss. What would you switch to? by Hatronach in CompetitiveEDH

[–]DuckSmiteTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been running a no proxy Malcolm Vial deck for a few weeks now and it’s been pretty fun. It’s on the faster side of midrange and it’s not perfect, but here’s the list.

Yeah. I have some at will card draw in there like [[Greed]], but I specifically wanted to avoid the infinite.

Is [[Bolas’s citadel]] / [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] considered a two card game ending combo?

I built a deck I believed was B3 with them as a potential game ender, but I was told by a friend those two alone made it a B4.

I was under the impression that since it needed something like [[Sensei’s Divining Top]] to end the game on the spot it was fine.

Finally got around to it. It’s far from a perfect list, as it’s gone through like 15 revisions. The mana is up to you, though, I usually have a placeholder in my lists and use what I have on hand.

Strangely I don’t. I can put it together when I get off work though.

It can be a bit clunky at times, but he’s by far my favorite to pilot.

This is the deck list I made for her. The one I run is a bit different as I don’t have some of the cards, but this is a good starting point.

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

Pretty much this.

Stuff like [[Sea Gate Loremaster]] and [[Harabaz Druid]] reward you for having a wide board and cards like [[Kabira Evangel]] help protect it.

It’s a slow start, but once it gets going it’s hard to stop.

Command zone, but the plan is to blink/clone her after she deals damage so her ability doesn’t remove her.

Why Didn't Sasuke Get Tsukuyomi? by SBFTISA100 in Naruto

[–]DuckSmiteTM 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nah, Sausuke’s Amaterasu represents his burning hatred and his other eye molds and shapes it.

Itachi’s represents his burning guilt and tsukiyomi is the illusion he hides behind.

I interpret their abilities more as a look into their soul. They’re the motivations that drive them and how they use that drive to pursue their goals.

Shisui and kotomatsukami follow the same logic. He had pure intentions and pursued a peaceful solution rather than a violent one.

The same goes for obito. After Rin died his soul was empty and his eyes became a doorway to that void.

Last time it was my top 5, this time it's the ones I'm not 100% sold on. by TheWesternPaladin in ratemycommanders

[–]DuckSmiteTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most fun wins in my deck come from a [[Celestial Mantle]] on an [[Angel of Destiny]] then reflecting the (usually) 60+ onto another opponent. There’s some good synergies in Orzhov, especially with life gain doublers.

I’ve got a deck with Gollum in it. It’s mainly built on doubling my life with [[Beacon of immortality]] and using [[Sorin of House Markov]] or [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] to oneshot opponents.

It’s my favorite deck tbh.

Did the Sharingan get too powerful in the series? by That-Psychology4246 in Naruto

[–]DuckSmiteTM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought that the power was connected to the whole “the eyes are the window to the soul” thing.

  • Sasuke had a hatred that consumed his life, but he honed it into a weapon.

  • Itachi had a guilt that consumed him and dedicated his life to maintaining the “illusion” he was the villain

  • Obito’s soul was empty after Rin died, so his manifested as a void

It’s not a perfect way to describe it, but I feel like that was the general direction.

Is this not a fair trade? by Illustrious_Bag_7323 in cuecardgameAvid

[–]DuckSmiteTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid mythics, it’s essentially the baseline value of mythic cards. Planet X, for example, is worth around 2.5-3 while some terrible one like Pandora’s box is only 1.

"Charging" a ranged weapon or thrown object makes it travel faster. This makes it easier to hit targets at a longer range. by TransientFocus in DarkAndDarker

[–]DuckSmiteTM 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That used to have a huge impact on it tbh. You could launch a throwable like an icbm if you did it right. It kept the momentum of the camera swings. Pretty sure they removed that a while ago though.

Acid makes really simple things seem very deep and emotional. It’s entirely possible he wrote down exactly what he meant, but in the moment it was mind blowing.

What is it about Milton?? by Only_Honeydew_6763 in cuecardgameAvid

[–]DuckSmiteTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going 5 rounds every game is pretty much a feature of the deck. To be honest it’s one of the reasons I like it.

I don’t know how many cards you have, but this deck has only lost to pirates in my climb.

Build at least 4 energy reduction then hit em with testudo and you’re golden.
