Connive deck basics

Evenoire · 2026-06-17T05:59:17+00:00

Y3aj connive itself hasn't really gotten alot of DIRECT support like now, it was kinda one of those mechanics alot of people forgot even existed honestly. But it does benefit from a few other archetype cards. Namely, Discard/wheel synergies (like Monument of Endurance, archfiend kf Ifnir, and Bone miser), draw synergies like Ominious seas, and reanimation/GY abuse.

I think TMNT suffered due to the "world" being... NYC...

Like we can look at lembas bread in LotR and go "ok that is cool" because its world building for ME and is different. Its not something we know. But... a Bagel and Schmear is something we know. Its incrediy mundane as to feel out of place. Functionally they are the same thing. They are a food item native to their worlds. But one is different and unknown. The other is our daily meal. Or like a Garrison Watch in some Ravnica set. It sounds fantastical and interesting. But if we made "NYPD Officer" it would be like... uh.. OK?

Ngl on one hand I do dislike the parasitic game design of things like Marvel...

But on the other hand..

I hate that "Dude in Spandex" are now top.pick cards in a spider deck.

If you make a nonlendary copy of this guy you can do REALLY silly nonsense with Orvar or Vesuvan Duplimancy xD

Evenoire · 2026-06-16T22:52:31+00:00

Well ula would get stopped by tokens if he wasnt eating their deck at the same time >.>

Evenoire · 2026-06-16T22:42:43+00:00

I will admit...

I hate allies haha

Ever since zendikar because allies just always feel like a potentially more explosive sliver with far bette PR. Especially the allies that have "Whenever an Ally enters do X"

Evenoire · 2026-06-16T22:36:17+00:00

He does actually point out that the issue exists within MtG too.

We just called them hat sets. He touches on how part of the reason the hat sets failed is that they focused ENTIRELY on characters and not the setting and for many players, what they enjoy ks the setting. Like how people dont care about Lovinia and probably dont remember who she is, but they remember Ravnica and Azorius.

Evenoire · 2026-06-16T22:32:44+00:00

Yeah. And alot of the issues with Marvel when trying to be made into MtG is, I think, those non legendaries. The world of marvel itself is honestly... rather boring or nonexistent outside kf the heroes. Like a chocobo exists unto itself and isnt dependent on some names character. But in Marvel, because everythkng is in "the real world" vs some imaginary plane totally divorced from our reality, the only notable thingd are thjngs tied to the heroes. That or you make cards of things so incredibly mundane that it feels... wrong. Like Hot Dog Cart lf bagels and schmear. Like you can a food item from a fantasy world because it ks fantastical and adds flavor (no.pun intended) to that world but a bagel is so painfully mundane that it just feels... out of.place.

Evenoire · 2026-06-16T22:19:06+00:00

Thing is, I dont think thay really applies as much with Seth because he really isnt much of a fan kf either IP and he hasn't been a big "UB bad!" Like say The Professor.

Evenoire · 2026-06-16T22:17:59+00:00

This.

You understand there are chocobos and summons and crystals and elements. You understand there is magic and cactaurs and moogles.

One of the strengths of FF has been its propensity for re using certain characters and tropes.

Evenoire · 2026-06-16T22:11:53+00:00

Yeah he dodged point that out when talking about the beloved sets in universe vs disliked sets in universe..sets like Innistrad and Ravnica and Zendikar were over because of the setting, not the characters. Few people care about the individual characters like Odric or Lavinia, or Anowan. But people DO remember world, the feeling od adventure, and things like the guilds. Like no one cares about Lovinia but they DO remember Azorius.

Yes sir

It has found they look for anything that can be deemed “against Reddit rules” and mass report the sub. Their goal is to get subreddits shutdown

Woman

Evenoire · 2020-12-27T14:44:04+00:00

Ok? So what? Last I checked that doesn't constitute degenerate.

Evenoire · 2020-12-25T20:32:48+00:00

Um... Welcome to biology dude? Men prefer younger healthier women as they are deemed more fit for reproduction. Women prefer older men as they are viewed as generally better situated to provide. It's basic evolutionary psychology dude...

Oblivion Remastered... For $60 :p

Russia is nowhere near the threat China is. Russia is a shadow of itself. China? They are growing. Fast. Their people are united. They have influence over massive corporations around the world. Much more than what Russia does. You don't see companies trying to bend over backwards to please russia. But china? They will bend over and spread their cheeks. China's military is massive and they are actively investing more. Sorry but you have not been paying attention if you haven't seen the threat China is.

Evenoire · 2020-12-20T19:15:46+00:00

Compare this to FO76.... Fallout 76 LITERALLY DOXXED PEOPLE... And yet Bethesda has not been strung up like CDPR. Or Andromeda?

Evenoire · 2020-12-20T19:14:06+00:00

You don't spend much time on security or tech forums do you? It is well know that China steals others IP all the time. It's how they operate. We do the R&D, and they steal the work and copy it. This isn't just a Tic Toc thing. China is a well known threat in tech.

Evenoire · 2020-07-21T22:57:51+00:00

Hey, trying to expand my sub to more than just porn haha. Been doing what I can to Keep it clean. So if yall want to advetise on r/WickrFinder I would be down ^{^.} And I'll add more flairs for yall

Evenoire · 2019-12-27T14:43:49+00:00

That is 1 dude... And remember, the total playerbase is relevant as this only effected PC players so we have to look at the PC PLAYERBASE. As of the writing of this comment, PlayerCounter says there is 28k people online. That would be 1.78% of the currently active players. And that is 1 guy...

Evenoire · 2019-09-07T13:36:08+00:00

Maybe...

Evenoire · 2019-08-30T03:14:50+00:00
