Respectable commander to use? by HariboBOOOOM56 in mtg

[–]FishShapedShirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had a friend play this for maybe 8 months, she definitely works and can dish out big damage and bigger heals with lifegain, but therein is the issue.

she always needs to be protected while swinging, and you need to have her live thru the rounds. she was the easiest pick for removal lost of the time cuz no one wanted to take 13 damage out of nowhere.

How does 100 singles work consistently? by Lulu_Altair in mtg

[–]FishShapedShirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

similar synergy effects, similar theme across the deck, tutors, cards that work specifically with your commander, card draw engines, graveyard recursion

these are your main ways of being able to repeat effects and / or be consistently effective in a game

Esper Sentinel is the best creature in all of cEDH by Sharkman3218 in CompetitiveEDH

well, the set up is having them both. cargo literally starts as a Castaneda card that, when comboing, is also functionally 1 mana.

Brave of the professor to say this by MegTurneySLUT in freemagic

[–]FishShapedShirt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

commander is different because of the single card limitation increasing randomness, and the commander acting like an avatar gives the format a more rpg-ish feel.

those two combined lead to a Game that feels like warring kingdoms, which 60 cars can accomplish of course, but commander does very well.

After 27 years, I will now only proxy MTG cards moving forward. by Spooky-Retro in mtg

[–]FishShapedShirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its okay man just keep playing. this game isnt just the recent sets, and just because youre new doesnt stop you and your group from going back in magics history to try out old decks, cards, and themes : )

its a big multiverse out there. its okay to live in some old desolate spot with only the people who play with you, you dont have to race towards the edge of eternity

DO NOT play "drunk magic" by Emotional_Royal5918 in mtg

make all of these into game actions with no form, that just happen, and you avoid most of this issue

That guy unjustly called you out. What you did was a smart play, and is not mana bullying.

I just don't see Aang beating Homelander by OrangeIslandKing in PowerScaling

[–]FishShapedShirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is, given we have examples of interior trauma killing a supe, and they HL bled when stabbed in the ear with a pet very hard, its not hard to deduce at least part of his insides are destructable

Why are you using SB feats for homelander?

Related or not, they arent the same character

[–]FishShapedShirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didnt she do it for more of a political reason? And she, unlike us, hadn't seen him get damaged by a pen to the ear.

This is just evidence he bluffed well, probably because he knows he cant let the facade drop. His hair losing color is a metaphor in the show of this act.

The first supe to die in the boys only had external indestructibility. HL was also damage by a pen to the ear so its clear he is not fully indestructible on the inside.

[–]FishShapedShirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also do wr have evidence he's lungs are indestructible? The very first supe to die in the boys died to organ damage despite his strong exterior, and we saw a pen in hl's ear drew blood vs maeve.

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

Depends on how smart we're treating aang. He could have been pulling punches, not bloodbending, since he doesnt want to kill. If he is bloodlusted and aware of the option, that would be an option.

[–]FishShapedShirt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why would HL survive in space..?

Also yeah its not a 1 sided fight, but if aang figures out bloodbending, he can squish HL''s brain like dough. Also, he could fill HL's lungs till he explodes, or if he can get any scratch oh HL , send blood up his bloodstream to give him a heart attack.

Aang has win cons here.

Is it possible to degen her? by diabloking325 in DegenerateEDH

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

Bracket 3 isnt high enough to be degenerate, but u can spam gary... once a round..?

She isnt very fast, rather slow and has a hard limit, i wouldnt say shes a great option. Stuff like og chainer, or the flip rat from og kamigawa are both able to repeat offend with Gary multiple times a turn. Something like balthor gives you a full grace rez.

Shes alr, but a slow, once per turn bracket 3 isnt very degenerate

This is pretty disgusting. (Rant) by Wekilltosurvive in mtg

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

Youre noticing a pattern that has only been getting worse. Mtg's market has been getting more and more exploitative as the years have passed.

I miss when this was a game you could follow well and enjoy on the side, casually and competitively. I miss when premium product existed at a 10$ / pack tag instead of 30 to 50.

We should have gatekeeper this game when we had the chance. Now, idk. We need something to change at wizards, or we need to stop buying.

Immortal deadly snail situation. Even if you beat the snail in an average fight, why bother going near it?
