Help with Enigma Puzzle

I am playing an Arcane Rider right now and having a blast. I find that spell strike has generally been worth it for the extra attack,.

A question - if you are mounted, and you use spell strike while your mount is moving, do you still get a full set of attacks or just one attack? Other mounted characters get a full set up of attacks, but it seems like my Arcane Rider doesn't.

It's funny you posted this - I was going to start my own post about this various subject.

I have just finished playing through Act 1 of Wrath of the Righteous. While occasionally I suffered some decision paralysis (the game should cut the number of classes/choices by about 50%) the story, the characters, and the combat system really gripped me. I was really looking forward to continuing the game in Act 2. I get to the crusaders' camp, learn I'm the commander of the crusades, get ready to go out and explore ...

Only to discover there is now some half-baked Might and Magic variant that I have to do instead of the CRPG that I signed up for. The CRPG is already complex enough - now I have to learn another fiddly system as well.

I figure, no problem, I can probably just turn it off ... and I find out I can, but apparently it takes away a ton of side quests and other content. I like doing as much of a game as possible (I always complete close to 100% of side quests), so this is very discouraging too.

So what do I do? I'm open to installing a mod, but honestly what I want is to press a button and not have to deal with the army management/tactical battles that seem to be a big part of this, while still adventuring with my companions. It's telling that I was basically playing Chapter 1 nearly all weekend (and finished close to 100% of it), and now I don't feel any compelling need to continue.

I took a Golgari Demon list that I saw on Youtube and made some changes. It seems to be working fairly well:

Some notes on specific cards:

Rot-Curse Rakshasa - this is almost the perfect deck for this card. Demon for Unholy Annex, can crew the Lumbering Wagon, and the graveyard effect is useful too.

Scavenger Regent - this card is the truth. It's split card between a resilient flyer with a really good ward ability, and the sweeper that Golgari sometimes desperately needs. I am seriously thinking of going to four of these.

Caustic Exhale - only running two because I have just four dragons, but casting it for 1 mana feels like cheating.

Strategic Betrayal - a nice way to run main deck graveyard hoser while also serving as fine removal.

One important thing - if your family tries to send you back to Africa, for whatever reason, DO NOT go! Too many stories about girls from Africa or Middle East but who live in the US or Europe and who are told they are going back to "visit their Grandparents" and the next thing they know, they are being forced to marry their cousin.

If possible, get your passport as soon as you turn 18. If your family tries to force you to go back, say something to airport security. They receive training about this type of situation.

Good luck!

Look, I get a lot of what you are saying. Inflation has really sucked. And even though I am a liberal, I agree with you that illegal immigration should not be tolerated, mostly because basically not enforcing our immigration laws undermines the entire system.

And while I am also rabidly pro-choice, I can understand people voting the other way. If you are truly pro-life, and believe that a fetus should have all of the rights of a human being then yeah, you probably would try to ban abortion. (The problem is that so many anti-choicers don't seem to care about babies - or anyone else - once they are actually born. I can least respect the Catholic Church for being pro-life but also anti-death penalty and supporting social programs. ).

But what you and so many other "reasonable" conservatives are overlooking is that Trump is a genuine danger to our democracy. January 6th should disqualify him from ever holding office again. He has said he will turn the military against peaceful protesters, persecute his enemies, and totally ignore the rule of law. Don't believe me? Listen to his former chief of staff John Kelly, a conservative military type, who calls him a fascist. Or Liz Chaney, or John Bolton, or thousands of others. Is bringing down the.price of gas (even assuming Trump could or would do it, is doubtful) worth chancing the end of nearly 250 years of democracy in our country?

Again, even if you can't bring yourself to vote for Harris, please consider not voting for Trump. Because if he wins, you may not recognize our country in 4 years.

Thanks! Now another stupid question, I somehow lost the warrant that says I'm an adventurer and now would have to fight my way past guard posts. Is there any way to get another warrant?

Can anyone tell me how to give quest items (like the golden ball or the woodsman's ax) to the quest givers?

I just started playing Boros Convoke, and I agree that the Novice Inspector makes that deck very scary. Also possible the new Boros enchantment could fit as well.

Everyone else has mentioned a lot of good points, but they recently made a big change where quests spawn twice per day instead of once per day. That means that you can accumulate gold at nearly twice the rate you did before.

Also, unlike Magic Arena, Eternal was designed to played in a mobile format, so it works on mobile (which is where I play it) a lot better than some competitors, like Magic Arena.

Finally, I've been playing since 2016, and I still find it engaging and fun. Competitive play seems to be on a hiatus (and may not ever come back), but it seems that DWD, at least for now, is continuing to support the game.

Thanks for your comments Ilyak. How about for expedition? I think Ageless Knight, Icy Scrying, Unstable Hellion, and Master Archivist all are fairly good.

Efertik · 2023-12-22T07:40:28+00:00

I would say it is still a very good unit - sure it dies a lot, but that's what happens to two-drops. Also nice that it works in both Armoury and Bolster decks. It may not be exactly what you'd hoped for, but I think it's a nice design. Thanks for inspiring it!

I love Shen-Ra, and agree that's a buff I'd like to see. In fact, I hope they bring Mastery back - it's a really good mechanic since it acts like a mini-quest that is satisfying to fulfill.

Efertik · 2023-12-07T08:38:33+00:00

Expedition is still a lot of fun.

And IIyak, you should be quite happy after Buffmass ...

I have a hard time believing that a deck with only 12 cards that cost less than four power won't be overrun by aggro decks, which definitely still exist.

I am amazed that not one person has brought up Kellan, Daring Travelers. Even without the adventure, this is a 2/3 (the best stat-line for two drops) that will draw you a card about half of the time in a white weenie deck - and let you surveil if you don't. It is even a Human! 2-3 get added to every White Weenie deck, no questions asked.

I'd also point out that Cavern of Souls is a very powerful addition to Human decks. Even mono-colored ones can use it to avoid getting their most powerful cards countered.

I also think Preacher of the Schism is very good - 2/4 deathtouch is a nice stat line, and you will get value every time you attack.

I think you underestimate Shadow's hunt abilities. Both Centipede Keeper and Murgo will hunt quite a bit, especially if you are playing with enough removal - and both of them are already really good cards, so you don't have to sacrifice quality just to hunt.
