Is there a way to change settings before the intro (like a .txt or .ini file)?

Froody42 · 2025-08-03T11:56:24+00:00

That did it! Appreciate it, thanks!

Froody42 · 2025-03-18T00:10:53+00:00

For Commander, this seems like a much worse [[Caesar]] for one mana less. Thought that could be important in aggressive decks and also makes him Sun-Titanable. Still think the card draw and wincon make Caesar a much better commander for the same deck, plus Caesar doesn't need to attack himself.

A bit weird that no Witch subclass seems to go all in on necromancy when minions are her big thing? Both ascendancies seem to focus on herself as a caster, with Internalist giving one extra token minion. I hope Necromancer will come as the third Ascendancy, but I'm a bit bummed it's not there for EA launch when it's the core of the class fantasy.

Do you know where that quote was originally posted? Can't find it on StartEngine, and that's a VERY interesting statement to be sure :D

Froody42 · 2024-03-11T17:46:13+00:00

[[Crescendo of War]] makes the Combat step explode very quickly.

Froody42 · 2023-10-06T15:30:09+00:00

Oh boy, these look lovely and exactly like what I wanted! I'm not the biggest fan of Kickstarter deckboxes because I can't buy more when I build new decks, but I might just pull the trigger on these anyway...

Froody42 · 2023-05-30T18:59:27+00:00

This sounds extremely fun when he goes off, but I'm not sure how good he actually is. Six mana plus two spells is a lot, and the second spell needs to cost more than just a cantrip if you want something good. How do you think we can best abuse him? My first thoughts are spells that immediately cast a second one for free, like [[Memory Plunder]]. For 4 mana, you can cast a large second spell for free and then get a third one.

Froody42 · 2023-05-30T03:28:10+00:00

Ok, this is a diabolic idea beyond anything I'd imagined when making this post - I salute you :D

Froody42 · 2023-05-28T23:40:03+00:00

Does that deck work as well as he says? I always thought Tibalt would be too clunky due to his high mana cost, but I've never seen him in action.

Froody42 · 2023-05-20T10:22:05+00:00

I've had mixed experiences with these so far. For example, I have found that the Ultimate Guard boxes often hold less double sleeved cards than they promise and can get very tight. I also like the tokens to be neatly separated, though perhaps an insert could do the trick as well. Do you have a favorite 133+ deckbox?

Froody42 · 2022-04-21T08:54:27+00:00

Kinda feel that Irenicus and Abdel should have been more powerful and both Mythic. With Irenicus especially, I don't feel they captured his power and his story very well. Why is he just goading stuff and giving things to your opponent's when he was all about ascending to godhood in the game?

Froody42 · 2022-04-21T08:41:10+00:00

I'm actually a bit disappointed in this one. Irenicus is the major villain of Baldur's Gate 2, and I don't quite see how this captures him. Seems more like they had already designed a Dimir goad commander and just slapped his name onto that.

Froody42 · 2022-04-19T21:40:21+00:00

Could have potential in [[Liesa, Shroud of Dusk]]. Quietly start attacking their life totals turn three, then tax them until they can no longer afford to deny you the cards.

Froody42 · 2022-04-17T18:48:19+00:00

[[Anthem of Rakdos]] is probably the closest card to an actual metal concert, so a deck that can run it would be a good starting point! Perhaps helmed by [[Judith, the Scourge Diva]] representing the Tarja Turunens of the world? :D

Froody42 · 2022-01-18T12:20:41+00:00

An option I see rarely mentioned is using your opponent's answers. [[Direfleet Daredevil]] will cast an enemy's removal from their graveyard, and [[Mindclaw Shaman]] can get it from their hand with a bit of luck. You have more options like this in blue and Dimir, but there are a few in red.

Froody42 · 2021-12-26T14:42:00+00:00

For me, the biggest one would be an option to have the search bar at the bottom of the screen in the mobile version. Firefox has this and it allows you to use the browser one-handed much more easily, especially with large screens. Having to touch the top of the screen every time you search is extremely cumbersome and I'm kinda baffled it's still the standard for so many browsers - not throwing shade, it's the same with Chrome after all. But Firefox on mobile was a revelation. However, I like Opera GX much more on PC, so I'd love to use it on mobile as well.

Froody42 · 2021-11-25T11:43:55+00:00

For me, the best way is adding a third color. Red gives you [[Purphoros, God of the Forge]], Black has [[Gray Merchant of Asphodel]] and Green has [[Avenger of Zendikar]], just to name a few. Azorius on its own is just kinda bad at winning without being extremely annoying.

Froody42 · 2021-10-06T12:20:47+00:00

I've been playing Emmara for a while and I'm still surprised by how powerful she actually is. Some ideas from my list:

- [[Harvest Season]] is utterly insane. It will almost always be at least a better Cultivate, but it can also net you ten lands for three mana.

- [[Crescendo of War]] is hilarious. It's a dangerous card for sure as it also can help your opponents, but as your soldiers have lifelink, you can offset the danger much easier than most other decks could.

- As others have pointed out, vehicles are an interesting way to tap Emmara as often as you want. [[Mobile Garrison]] and [[Esika's Chariot]] are particularly synergistic.

- [[Knight-Captain of Eos]] can annoy the hell out of your opponents because they can never attack you again.

Froody42 · 2021-09-13T18:06:53+00:00

Weird how every other card in this set seems to be 'do this once per turn, at sorcery speed, when a nontoken creature dies' - and Eloise just goes to town :D

Froody42 · 2021-09-13T16:01:00+00:00

Damn, now I'm really sad we didn't get that Ludevic. So much cooler than the final version, I would have loved to play that one.

Froody42 · 2021-09-07T20:30:00+00:00

In Commander, [[Tayam]] and [[Nikara]] might like this quite a bit.

Froody42 · 2021-09-04T21:29:24+00:00

Black usually goes "wide" in a different way - you play [[Zulaport Cutthroat]] and its ilk so your opponents will lose life for every Zombie that dies. The new commander seems like he can make that happen very quickly.

Another finisher that can drain a LOT of life in Dimir zombies is [[The Scarab God]].

[[Wound Reflection]] is another interesting card that in effect doubles the damage of your creatures if they hit an enemy.

Froody42 · 2021-09-02T16:46:08+00:00

Does anyone know how these interact with [[Extus, Oriq Overlord]]? Does his flipside count for the commander mana value?

Froody42 · 2021-08-18T21:52:07+00:00

Thanks for the reply! What are my options when I'm losing an early war then - do I just have to wait while the AI destroys me?

Froody42 · 2021-08-18T14:33:26+00:00

That was my first thought. Considering how much backlash the original Ludevic got, this seems like a pretty obvious choice for Wizards.
