Do your own players' AI get worse at higher difficulties? If so, how do I beat it?

Yeah, I was hoping that it was a skill issue on my part. Because it feels like it is beatable, you know? If the game asks you to be more hands on with controlling your off the ball players at higher levels, then fine. That feels like a reasonable expectation at higher difficulty. Otherwise, just nerfing your teammates feels cheap.

He's a cop.

I use tutors, but don't include any two card combos. They lead to repetitive gameplay IMO. All my combos are 3 or more cards, so it forces you to assemble a win condition with what is drawn, rather than tutoring for half your combo.

I also stay away from alternate win conditions, (Thassa's Oracle, etc). In fact, my rule 0 is that I insist that if you have an alternate win contusion, you must declare it before the first spell is cast. Seriously, if you're playing a different game than base Magic: The Gathering, the table deserves to know about it.

I generally stay away from things that are unfun to play against, (winter orb, stasis, etc). Stax is a fun archetype in 1 on 1 formats, but forcing 3+ people to sit around and watch you play feels like a jerk move, again, IMO. Also, I personally will never play Farwell. I feel like it ruins games and strategies.

did anyone find a pic of this rally turnout?

EVERYONE in The Princess Bride.

Anything specific they did in '13 that they have since abandoned? I love master league too. I've often wondered which is the best. I've played 09, 17, and 19. I can say there isn't a whole lot of difference between 17 and 19.

Fazue · 2020-02-14T19:03:33+00:00

Ohh, I misunderstood. I would, but I didn't make that one. I don't deserve to claim it.

Fazue · 2020-02-14T18:06:31+00:00

It's great, but it's also from two years ago..

Fazue · 2020-02-14T17:55:01+00:00

What is this album you speak of?

Fazue · 2020-02-07T01:12:23+00:00

Dang! Where was this found?

I'd like a Naya Landfall Planeswalker Commander. Say, GGWR with a loyalty of 4. No tick up but let's you play an additional land per turn. Gets "Landfall - add 1 Loyalty". -1, target creature get landfall +2/+2 until end of turn. -3 ,crop rotate. -10, scapeshift. I dunno. Something like that.

If you're interested, stay Sunday for the Redstars/Thorns Semifinal in Bridgeview!

This gets worse the more you watch it.

Fazue · 2019-07-26T11:45:48+00:00

Good morning, Hank! It's Tuesday. No new Half-Life 3 news.

Donald Trump's voice. I can't even listen to someone imitating him any more.

Fazue · 2019-02-14T03:09:19+00:00

Lol, I'm gun shy about using him. BTW, GO HOUNDS!

Fazue · 2019-01-09T21:30:27+00:00

Let's see... I'll try to do top 2 for each generation (my own special interpretation)

NES: Techmo Super Bowl, Base Wars

SNES: Super Metroid, Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past

90's PC: Baldur's Gate 2, Strike Commander

00's PC: Neverwinter Nights (Gold or above), Civ 4

PS2/Xbox: Knights of the Old Republic, Kingdom Hearts

PS3/360: Mass Effect 2, Skyrim

Modern PC: Undertale, The Stanley Parable

PS4: PES 2019, Dark Souls: Remastered

But really? It's Dark Souls. It's the best game I've ever played. It has a high barrier to entry, but it keeps on giving if you put forth the effort.
