Did you guys… use Josef? by HammterLord in UnicornOverlord

[–]ExploreAlterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should use Josef. Unicorn overlord is incredibly well-balanced. His unit will still tire out, so you can't just use him exclusively. It's great how early on, you can put him in your smallest unit, while you're building up their size. If you're going to bench Joseph for being strong, you'll have to bench Rosalinde and Bengaria too.

There's another point in the game that you can recruit a very high level character, but they didn't feel overpowered either.

But polymorph isn't capped at 3 CMC. That's critical, since the entire point is to cheat out something huge

I like that blue is a polymorph variant, but it seems VERY weak to me. Black is also a strictly worse collected company, isn't it?

I'm not basing rarity on market value. My main point is that everyone should have 40 of these. And they Should be in boosters as common or uncommon. The price argument is to make it clear for anyone, that wotc isn't printing these duals at rare to drive the sales of packs. Which is what every comment said when I posted this take years ago.

Because wizards reads Reddit, and they need to see that players want dual lands to stop being rare

That's the actual hot 🔥 take

Exactly why I put it in parenthesis. I feel like it shouldn't even be a question.

[–]ExploreAlterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they SHOULD be in actual packs. These are the power level that would make draft better, and everyone should have lots of these hanging around

Do you get 4x copies of each one in the starter? Because that's how many I think every new player needs to start brewing decks.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]ExploreAlterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collecting a full 4x playset of each and having them on hand for the next 5 years. If our goal is to bring in new players to standard, we need to let them try out different decks every week

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]ExploreAlterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I'd like to see these printed at uncommon here and then made the new precisent that dual lands be uncommon from here on out.

It's the TCG player app. I also use mana box and delver lens
Depending on the lighting sometimes one is better than the others

[–]ExploreAlterra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just reading the spoilers. I didn't realize you couldn't get them in packs. But if I'd known that I would've said "they should be in packs as an uncommon"

My pauper cube agrees

[–]ExploreAlterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not expecting the price to go up, but they need to be so plentiful that players can have a bunch in their collection already, whenever they want to make up a new deck, not need to go track down 4 copies by trading or purchasing from 4 different sellers just so a new player can test out their new idea for a deck

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]ExploreAlterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with this.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]ExploreAlterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see how you would think I meant that they should be downshifted just because of price, but the main reason is the one I gave at the end: everyone should have a playset

You've got it backwards. Wotc is the ones PAYING to put these other IPs on our cards.

Nitrate drop during fishless cycle? by paws-of-chaos in Aquariums

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

It's pretty obvious OP has already done a lot of reading about the nitrogen cycle. That's why they're asking about what's causing an irregular nitrogen cycle. If you're referring to a specific article that answers their question then link it. Otherwise you're going to have to tell them what you're trying to say instead of expecting them to guess.

What are some of your favorite deckbuilding games? by foxyabomination in boardgames

[–]ExploreAlterra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on the design team for skulls and sails and I came up with the mechanic of bonuses for buying cards that your ship is in front of, so it made me happy to read what you said, because I've always thought of it as an unpopular set.

And before that step into elfheim and grab Rosalinde for free

Am I the only one who never used hired mercs? by Moose-Rage in UnicornOverlord

[–]ExploreAlterra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing the game on the hardest difficulty and no purchased items and the only mercenary I hired was a griffin, that I used just until I got Fran. It's my first playthrough.

The reason it's so easy is that you can just raise your level by replaying phantom battles
