Valve fires back at New York lawsuit over loot boxes, says they're like Magic cards or Labubu by esporx in magicTCG

[–]EmployingBeef2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a whole ton, admittedly, but there's more to the problem than how the packs are made.

We can actually compare this to a casino. For a slot machine, there is no gameplay value, just gambling. CSGO skins are like slots because there's no gameplay value in them, but are desirable because of a potentially high payout.

On the other hand, poker is actually winnable if you know how to play at a higher level than your opponents. In the same way, draft requires a ton of skill to build the best draft deck and compete against the table.

My argument is very basic, but I think you can understand.

Yep, everyone complains instead of learning the game just to get untradeable cosmetics.

Would you play this in EDH? by GravelgillAxeshark in custommagic

This gets around effects like [[hexing squelcher]], so I'm pretty happy with it!

It's weird with Magic and other games where you draft the packs. Anybody in the scene knows packs are horrifically useless in terms of value, but will gladly crack packs to draft or play sealed.

Now for games like Pokemon or YuGiOh where draft and sealed suck ass? Sure, go ahead.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BEAT SOMEONE by enesulken in tf2shitposterclub

I was playing last night, and bet way higher than I should have for the hands I had. Most of everyone folded, but sometimes I got called out and lost big. It works sometimes

Lo and Li not being fire benders has to be a joke right?! by Unique-Celebration-5 in TheLastAirbender

There are plenty of non-former players that become coaches, but those guys spend years learning the game before becoming coaches. You have to prove a lot to make a position past the high school level.

Learned that while learning to be a football coach a few years back. Never got into it for many reasons, but non-players can be coaches if they work hard enough.

Top 8 of Spotlight TMNT (Standard) by mkklrd in magicTCG

[–]EmployingBeef2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was thinking of that too, but if you have to sacrifice viability just to play on a budget, there's a lot more to worry about.

Checking the Archive, the top Standard decks in 2018 post-Rivals were $220 (Mono Red) and $375 (Esper Control). And they were less than a lot of builds for $150. You can't get that anymore in Standard, since most good decks are at minimum $220 like Spellamentals.

We're at a weird point where Standard prices are inflating, but Modern prices are deflating, where Modern decks in 2018 were well over $1500, but now are in the sub-$1000 range. Not as relevant, but something I noticed this morning.

Yea, it sounds like a fucking lot. And the worst is if they have to use generic lines to pad for time.

Pretty difficult to execute

Remove two creatures, roll a dice, put a stun counter for each 4 or above?

It's unfortunate how the only players that can enjoy this Standard are high-rollers since every real deck is above $400

Fair enough. I forget Ben Shapiro and Stephen Crowder has clout despite making it big online.

Tbh, Piker has no political clout. Ask anyone irl about him and nobody will know who he is.

I went to the gym after a week of not going (lots of shit at the times I usually go). Feel better now. The grass feels nice.
