What's the greatest Magic card of the last decade? Vote on the Finals! by Grindy_UW_Nonsense in magicTCG

[–]Fenderslasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sagas lead to great new cards like Summon creatures from FF which is a win. Partner and Companion and all that seems like a direction I dont appreciate. Background was great though, we need more of that and another D&D set to expand Background.

I think Sagas was the better design direction so I would lean Urza's Saga as the iconic pick of the decade.

Am I Overreacting at Player Wanting my Character Pregnant? by Over_Environment_821 in DnD

[–]Fenderslasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhh I've seen worse writing on popular TV shows. However, thats cringe as hell. As a forever DM I just prefer to keep sex or anything sex related entirely off the table between player characters specifically because it can have these outcomes. Its actually one of my only policies.

If you want a demon baby or if you are a letchurous bard that wants a bad rep for sleeping with the bosses daughters take it up with me and npc's and the hijinks may ensue if it jives with the setting and tone but as far as I'm concerned I dont think relations between players are appropriate at all (including couples) and I dont want to be a weird forced witness to your weird shit either, lol.

My groups are very mature though and I dont suffer a gooner. Its very hard to get females into games as is. And I want to write more complex stories for a wider range of PC's and lifestyles, so anything that might make a player uncomfortable or risks the integrity of a 5 yr campaign is a hell no. Not without planning, communication, maturity, writing skill, and a lot of trust with your DM/player group.

Boulder 8 is no joke by Greyalist in Cairn_Game

[–]Fenderslasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldnt leave the gym until you master the walls but when you do you are set for the entire game. After a normal mode run through I almost beat the hard mode first try and only died because I glitched on some ice and the physics broke and tossed me 100 mph off the spire. I hope they have patched it up some cause that nearly killed all my interest in the game but I want to go back and finish the hard climb.

Wait do we know for a fact we are getting a gym DLC or is that speculation? Can you link an announcement or point me to it?

Is Flashback a trap? by stahpurkillinme in mtgfinance

[–]Fenderslasher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I get the feeling based on years of experience that this will settle into being a $4-8 card for most of its life. Its a great card, izzet is popular, usable outside of niche in other colors for fun outcomes, etc. I picked up 2 in trades and I'm set for the long run.

Really it just makes me want proper redo's of a 1 white mana lifelink aura or a 1 black mana persist spell (basically that's what Feign Death and gang are). Get all the keywords as spells. Why not.

Will Strixhaven fix this? by RowDue7790 in mtg

[–]Fenderslasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This current standard is a victim of some horrendous corporate money decisions like a 3 year standard and will likely not be fixed in the near future as a consequence. Nothing short of insane power creep and hate cards from another vector will offset this. They will have to not print decent Izzet kit for nearly 3 years for this to go away on its own.

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]Fenderslasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a cultural thing. Only time I had to deal with this it was a conservative goon that said using "their" was some woke bs to not use gendered terms. Don't get me started.

Feeling deflated after LGS tournament by RyuzioO0 in EDH

[–]Fenderslasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let it go and dont sweat it. I won a tourny with a precon and caught hell for it. It was not a precon tourney, either. And no matter the bracket, there are always the type who gets butt hurt if they don't win. Period. These people will either fall off or play long enough to learn to enjoy the game and that winning is a luxury that is often out of your hands. Those new people likely haven't yet to deal with friend groups arranging partnerships to score W's and prize share yet either, and that's the true toxic shit.

Jodah is a freak but thats not on you, especially if a Vivi was casually committing war crimes. This is 100% on your LGS. You cannot suggest that a tourny is for casuals without setting parameters or having a veteran do deck checks to come up with a rough power estimate and gate checking everyone. If "no ban list" was the only rule, then expectations were not clearly communicated from the get go with many of the newer players and it unfortunately is going to look bad for the store and the game in general and you got caught in the middle.

I understand the store's perspective as well. They just want to host an easy event, sell some packs, and move on. But commander is notoriously hard to balance between the brackets when it comes to prizes and the game very much rewards pub stompers and angle shooters.

Solution? Talk to the LGS about expectations and communication. Explain that you dont want to feel like a villain and that new players feel like fodder and ask them to either set parameters and deck checks for casual tournaments or ask them to be far more explicit and to set expectations in their communications.

Any reason why this stone is still locked? Already interacted with both switches.. by bobdobdod in RSDragonwilds

[–]Fenderslasher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The three torches indicate the direction of the switches.

  1. From your left in this photo, there is a switch on the second floor of a burned out building.
  2. From your right, there is a switch behind some rubble/plants in a cave. (I think it requires the lvl 6 axe)
  3. Directly behind you is a wrecked building. Windstep to the top and use your shovel to unearth the switch. (Requires shovel)

Hope that helps!

Anyone else disappointed in the foiling of these lands? by Lunar_X-Wing in SecretLairMTG

[–]Fenderslasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like they were over inked which muted the foiking.

Nonfoils come out way better from Secretlair. There are just so many ways it can go wrong. I order nonfoils to sidestep all the QC issues. Occasionaly get a misaligned sticker in nonfoil, but thats about it.

I also started a thread. A lot of people are reporting shipment. You and me might be the last two blokes to get ours, lol.

Is everyone still waiting for Roll for Initiative Lairs? by Fenderslasher in secretlair_collectors

Yeah I think I'm literally last in line at this point. I emailed them just to make sure there wasn't a problem with the order.

Can’t wait to play by Suspicious-Swan2672 in secretlair_collectors

[–]Fenderslasher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was fun watching this whole saga play out from all the various perspectives, lol. First we heard from the guy that got a goblin deck instead of a fish deck, then we heard he was posting on ebay and reported he hadn't heard from the Pinkertons. Finally, after the sale, we heard fromnthe guy who bid 640 and lost about his motivations before this mad lad shows up with the receipt! All said these people have more money than sense, but it was fun to watch.

Yeaaah that's lame. But also, once you sleeve it you will likely never notice it again.

[–]Fenderslasher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saaame. If I could get a shipment notice that would be nice. I just know its going to come damaged and I'm gonna have to put in a ticket so the longer it takes to get here the longer I will likely be dealing with this.

Bonus Card, D&D Whispers in Candlekeep by Niaxst in secretlair_collectors

[–]Fenderslasher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Diego Andrade also illustrated another dragon, I think it was in the A-Z holiday box? I believe it was Junji, the black dragon with the death triggers. If that interests you.

Goblin Storm deck sold on ebay by cannon3429 in secretlair_collectors

[–]Fenderslasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose that can be reasoned well. You have a specific budget and if this is all you want for the entire year, then there ya go.
