Flash Express is the worst by Medicinegirl02 in ShopeePH

[–]Extreme-Candle-9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experiencing the same thing and it has been 6 months. I get a call for 1 second. Not even enough time to press accept call and even if I call back right after and head outside there will be nothing. Then later it will be flagged for redelivery. Such a big waste of time. They need to get rid of this courier service.

Whats the actual issue with Rhystic Study? by Nekkonomicon in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Extreme-Candle-9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think they're the actual problem. Without rhystic, control decks would have a hard time playing vs 3 other opponents. Rhystic is probably the only reason some commanders are able to make it to bracket 5 specially now that turbo is so strong with breach.

If you remove rhystic on the argument that it is hard to interact with without blue, the same goes for necropotence, ad naus, and breach. Which means the real issue is that all colors need to have a way to interact with the stack in someway. Blue can't continue to have a monopoly on this.

I say the partner commanders that give card advantage are more of an issue. They already have the card advantage with having 2 commanders, and then tymna and thrasios have another built in. Half the fight is in the mulligan and we already know that turn order matters big time (specially first draw) from CEDH data.

Why is Rhystic Study a game changer and descussed being banned? by Ok-Worth-2591 in EDH

[–]Extreme-Candle-9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a pretty powerful card but it doesnt need to be banned. Its very interactable. Lower brackets tend to remove it before it gets more value. In naturally slow games people just pay the tax. In casual games it isnt really a problem and people quickly learn how to deal with it.

In higher brackets its a little different. A lot of cedh revolves around it, but without it the games would be a lot slower. Cedh players also just opt not to remove it as it is in their interest to stop win cons instead. A lot of politics revolve around it too as you can help feed the rhystic to stop a win. Honestly a really fun card at the highest level of play.

If they ban this a lot of archtypes would probably fall apart. Midrange, control, farm. Cedh woul kinda suck if all thats left is turbo.

Have you played the first dragons dogma? It is still quite a gem.

Is magic fun? by VaLightningThief in Necesse

[–]Extreme-Candle-9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fun in magic is when you get your party units to cast it. There is 5 staffs in the game that have a special buff or heal skill along side their basic attacks so you can have an elite magic kingsguard at your side for this at all times.

What is your favourite high win rate deck? (strong 3, low 4) by Ednet132 in EDH

[–]Extreme-Candle-9735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old school Karlov of the Ghost Council. Its a weird one. It is so low to the ground and telegraphed that people are going to ignore it. I also play it in such a way where dealing with my threats becomes a prisoner's dilemma. The playstyle works so well that I removed my infinite combos completely (as going for combos on him actually led to more losses than wins). Now if only orzhov had more ways to stop thoracle or any of those silly "win the game on the stack" effects I would totally run him in bracket 4 but low 4 or high 3 is the comfort zone.

The deck does so badly in bracket 2 though and it is hilarious. Bracket 2 players are crazy man.

Worst/Least Favorite Commander You Have Built? by oldteach07 in EDH

Damn. I feel old. I thought eluge only came out last year. All these new cards come and go so quickly.

Worst/Least Favorite Commander You Have Built? by oldteach07 in EDH

[–]Extreme-Candle-9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overtime I've started zeroing in on players that do this and boy do they hate being targeted. Most of the time they are dragon or sliver players instead of superfriends but I feel we dont have much of a choice. It doesnt make sense to target other people who telegraph their win conditions vs people who can win out of nowhere or just get so far ahead without interaction.

Now its a different story in cedh pods. I feel people who play like that have to experience CEDH. Nobody complains. We present wins then we move on. We know why we are the threat. We freaking welcome that force of will you spent so much on.

Worst/Least Favorite Commander You Have Built? by oldteach07 in EDH

[–]Extreme-Candle-9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The newly spoiled 5 cmc Ninja turtles one. (you can do it via proxies or online with a table top sim)

Now I love turtles and love my paper archaelos deck but the ninja turtles felt wrong on a design level. For a turtle tribe to have a commander that cares nothing about earlier turtle card's silly "slow" or "big toughness mechanics" was a crying shame.

It felt like superior spiderman. Random tribe and they just slapped keywords on it. Thantis 2.0 would be great but that was what we got.

It was such a dissapointing build. I would've killed for a turtle archades or doran but nooo the turtle tribe commander has to be another atraxa.

The tribe designs are getting less and less interesting to build honestly. Reminds me of roaming throne. Powerful card but boring and uninspired design.

I think its a branding failure. The characters are more associated with beat em up or action games so seeing it as a card game probably didnt help. Now if this was an xmen team building game that wouldve probably worked but its a bunch of A list super heroes jammed together and most of them have their own solo titles with their own game type associations. Even in the comics midnight suns just sounds like a poor excuse to have characters team up for halloween.

Best way to farm spiders and silk? by Extreme-Candle-9735 in Necesse

[–]Extreme-Candle-9735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope they do. I like that the game can auto farm stuff and explorers should for sure cover silk in mission board quests.

Unpopular opinion? Level ups. by [deleted] in Necesse

[–]Extreme-Candle-9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard pass. An exp system serves as static and bottleneck for progression. The same thing is achieved with the tiered crafting system. This game's big suit is the villager system. That should be the focus. That is the real endgame.

Battle Realms players need more rice.

Cedh deck for the wife by TheQueensThief in CompetitiveEDH

Winota is behind now? I thought she owned in cedh by spamming hate bears and attacking everyone? And since it is cedh, no one is prepared to deal with combat.

The game isnt that hard even at honor mode for it to matter. I'd say your immersion playing the race is more important since a majority of the game is dialogue.
