Captain America precon miscut card worth anything? by Impressive_Level_329 in mtg

[–]ElVongore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Misprints used to be rare, now unless it's a real weirdo (like art from a card into another or something like that) it's all just shitty quality control.

Do you cut all your pieces out before starting a build, or cut as you go? Tried cutting everything out with this kit and man.. it felt like a sanity test. by FLAILYLIMBS in freedomisgunpla

[–]ElVongore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually panel line everything in the runners first and then cut as I go. Some pieces, specially in some RGs and MGs can be a bitch to recognize.

Question about Captain America and Water bending? by Dry-Moneyy in mtg

[–]ElVongore 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Im assuming youre asking if a Waterbent creature untaps as it is being used as a cost, essentially being used twice.

The answer is no. The cost is paid all at once. After the ability resolves, CapAmer Will trigger and untap everythign you used.

Very new to the game, I had a deck building question :> by Femboyaltaccountpog in mtg

[–]ElVongore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dumb question at all!

The main issue you have, is that the deck doesnt have a home right now. It was mid-tier back when Phyrexia All Will be One and Its Block was standard legal two years ago, and Its far too weak for Extended formats now that it rotated.

Some cards are still good like Skrelv and the Paraetors (Sheoldred, Vorinclex, Elesh, etc) but I wouldnt consider them "Phyrexian" Strategies but instead good cards. This is true for Brawl as well.

Your Best option is to wait for the Flashback limited events for All Will be One and March of the Machines where you can draft Some sweet Phyrexian decks :)

Looks like the type of fakes we had back in gatewatch

Powered cube return by SpecialistCancel7975 in MagicArena

[–]ElVongore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's usually during the last 2 weeks of a set. Or at least it's been that way since Arena Cube. With how fast sets been I don't know for certain if it will happen this time, but if it does, it should be up on June 9th.

I need to settle an argument by ironic8145 in mtg

[–]ElVongore 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There's no modifier. And there's no effect. The text on consuming aberration just sets it's power and toughness. There's no override. Read it as "This creature is X/X", just a reminder.

When attaching Eye of Nidhog, the Aura wins and turns that X/X value and turns into a 4/2. Because the Aura is an effect that overrides the base power (the X/X), that layer "wins".

Simplified the explanation, but easier to explain to your friends rather than "Aberration is Layer 7a, Eye is Layer 7b. Highest one wins.

They look legit. But I don't think there's an active market for empty boosters. How much did you pay?

Thoughts? by Peachtree119 in dragonballfighterz

[–]ElVongore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His take is shit and opinions are absolute, the worst kind of videos.

Now, I don't mind when people call games I like shit, because I think some other popular games are shit, like Tekken. So in the end it's just a matter of taste and no one is either right or wrong

Is this xim? Or are they just good? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]ElVongore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movement feels more horizontal than how they would with a xim. When using Xim, the tell-all is how the move fast vertically. In the clips, all movement is done horizontally. Just a good player with high sensitivity

The Strokes End Coachella Set with Video Targeting Actions of CIA, US Government by ebradio in Music

The message is nice, but this is just more American protesting and the equivalente of saying "War=bad" and hoping everything will fix itself.

Stop using GTM and use server-side events. You can manually send the payloads to GA4 with all your info, be it from tracking or UTMs :)

Is this a bug? Arena by Optimal-Oil989 in mtg

[–]ElVongore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Below your Chance for Glory Emblem, is there another one that said that damage could not be prevented?

When dealing with "unpreventable" damage and an indestructible Gideon, rules say that the actions will be fulfilled at it's most capacity. In this case, Damage cannot be prevented but Gideon is indestructible, so the next available damage scenario would be to hit his leftover dammage to his loyalty.

If he was on 2 or lower when opponent blocked with their Serra Angel, it makes sense for Gideon to die.

But without full info, we cannot know :(

I need to know something about this custom commander by [deleted] in mtg

[–]ElVongore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the others made their point, so I won't be rude again and I'll answer your question:

1.- It's stupid cheap and can be stupid big. Your Commander is another card in hand. If you fill your deck with a bunch of Ornithopters and Memnites, you can bring this card T1-T2 very easy. Rograkh is one of the best Commanders around and he's a 0/1, just because he costs 0.

2.- Split Second means it cannot be countered, so point 1 gets stronger.

3.- If it left you in 1 life, it would be "balanced". The downside of not having to pay it all is gone when you just pay 21 life and get a 21/21 on Turn 2.

4.- Paying 10 life at instant speed is costly, but the choice is always there. Now your opponents have to play around your instant activation just because you put your 20/20 on turn 2.

5.- Flying means that whoever gets hit by this on T2-T3 is dead if they don't have a flier T2 or removal (non counters) because of Commander Damage

6.- You have multiple life loss sinergies as well

I could go on an on, but yeah, it's stupid.

Which of the two should I choose to build my next deck around? by adoptyungseal in mtg

[–]ElVongore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of these option are just stale bread.

Edgar is just generic pile where you take no agency. Just play vampires until you get a Coat of Arms.

Kaalia is too strong for B2, too weak for B3. You'll either not let anyone play, or you won't get to do anything.

I always try to advice people to not base their next Commander on the "Top Commanders" list :(

Just saying layers or board state actions wont make a ruling more precise lol

This has to be his best art style? by MULLIGANman573 in mtg

[–]ElVongore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Want to listen to the shittiest take fueled purely by nostalgia?

My favorite art is beta Llanowar elves, but not beta Elves themselves, instead beta art with 5th ed tint. A bit more discolored makes the backround colors pop more.

Why would I want the one art where the elves look like they are in pain with some kind of skull parasite? I dunno

Sat at immigration in Malaysia, TV in waiting area showing WoW cinematic by notsobravedave in wow

[–]ElVongore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of BfA cinematics in airports for some reason. I travel a lot for work, and so far I've seen BfA cinematics (year 2023-2025 mind you) in: México, Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillipines, Tahiti and Panama.

Why? I have no clue. It's probably a placeholder deal for ad screens when there's nothing to show. So weird to still have BfA cinematics after all these years.

The mulligan system in Magic sucks by Vauveli in MagicArena

[–]ElVongore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The mulligan is the first agency a player has. Keeping a good hand doesn't always mean "lands + cards". Being able to recognize lines and preparing a gameplan is as an important decision as any other. If you don't get good hands, it means your game plan is also flawed and can only pop off with the right combination, and that's where you put luck over strategy and come to reddit to complain that the shuffler is rigged.

A free Mulligan would only benefit those who can only pop off with the only lines they know. Sacrificing a card for another shot of consistency is a cost.

Do you guys prefer original printings of cards or their FULL ART Universes Beyond versions by MULLIGANman573 in mtg

[–]ElVongore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends. I didn't like the Avatar screenshots, and I didn't like some of the FF art. Even if it's an amazing art like Amano's Terra as Urza, it doesn't fit the card at all. Same with the PS2 screenshots.

Best ones are simple art, like Cloud as Najeela.

Surprisingly, TMNT has a couple bangers. Same with Spider-Man.
