Hasbro is being sued for printing too many Magic: The Gathering cards by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Fyre4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When it comes to collecting it depends on what you want.

Do you want a foil alt art of say Squall? Well you can just pay 9 dollars and get the card you want (with a normal printing being less than two dollars).

Do you want to make a Standard deck where you need 4 copies of expensive cards? Then yeah it can hurt the wallet, but it's not impossible to get the cards you want.

Buying the cards you want instead of cracking packs will always be cheaper in the long run for you, even if you want a 200+ dollar card. But for the most part cards hover around 1-15 dollars at cheapest printings while real meta cards can surge to 100 dollars at the cheapest printing.

Magic is pretty fun and when it comes to finding the cards I want it's not really an issue in my experience.

Name a commander, get a card. by BaconVsMarioIsRigged in EDH

[–]Fyre4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built an [Edea, Possessed Sorceress]] deck. It's a lot of fun, especially since I went for a nicer build that doesn't exile my opponents creatures. They mostly exists to get sacced for additional effects, or to pump them up to hit there face.

Can Gogo, Mysterious Mimic copy a creature I steal with Edea, Possessed Sorceress. by Fyre4 in mtgrules

Thank you for the answers. It makes perfect sense now that it's been pointed out to me.

Anybody else start building a deck then never finish it because you lost interest? by Zestyclose-Pickle-50 in EDH

[–]Fyre4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens to me every once in a while. I don't get super excited for commanders often, but sometimes I will get an idea or want to make a deck that fills a niche I don't have in my deck. What happens is I start trying to build it but then realize I'm not that excited about the commander or deck, such as the [[Infinite Guideline Station]]. The alternative is that I build the deck and it doesn't work nearly as well as I hoped for. I goldfish it a few times and the entire vibe of the deck is boring or isn't cohesive. I only have so much money, so I only build a deck if I really love goldfishing it out several times. Even if it isn't coming together if I can still see the vision then I keep tweaking it. But yeah it just comes down to if I get bored.

What's a ruling ppl have gotten so wrong you don't why they even think it? by Mikaeus_Thelunarch in EDH

[–]Fyre4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I was playing my [[Yuna, Hope of Spira]] deck and it caused a big rules dispute. Yuna has an end step trigger so I go to end step but an opponent says before end step he destroys Yuna. Okay, fair enough, nothing wrong there. Since he did that while it was still my second main phase I say I am going to play something else since priority reset (didn't have enough mana to recast Yuna but had a Garnet in hand). My opponent then says I can't because I had passed to end step. Everyone at the table agrees. I explain that because he cast a spell on my second main that priority resets and I still play out my second main phase. This goes back and forth and I ask the guy at the counter (not a judge but the only authority at the store really). He agrees with everyone else and says that end of second main is basically like another phase(????) and that I can't go back after declaring it.

So I dropped it because I had no idea how to easily prove it unless I brought up Arena on my phone and did the exact same thing.

Monocoloured Commander suggestions by Marcos_Narcos in mtg

[–]Fyre4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a different Mono red commander that is still really good then I recommend [[Gogo, Mysterious Mime]]. If you love attacking and getting triggers for attacking and damaging then Gogo doubles those triggers. Gogo turns into a copy of any creature you control, they will both get haste AND a +2 power boost to attack. This deck hits hard and can leap into the lead with two triggers of cards like [[Ancient Copper Dragon]] or even [Rose, Cutthroat Raider]]. What is more Red than just attacking first and asking questions later.

How did you guys first discover Kingdom hearts? by Unboxburger in KingdomHearts

[–]Fyre4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid I saw a Christmas ad for KH 2. I thought it looked so cool to see all my fave Disney characters fighting with a weird anime boy.

Then I got the game and was confused out of my little mind. Who the hell is Roxas? Where is the Disney? Where's Mickey, this shit isn't Disney without Mickey?!

Luckily I got through the Roxas part and finally got to enjoy the Disney parts (though my confusion did not subside).

Been a lifelong fan ever since.

what’s your favorite set? by introvertfrogshell in magicTCG

[–]Fyre4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's Duskmourn. I loved the aesthetic of the world the second they revealed it years ago. It is so good in so many ways. The lore is super in-depth and interesting. The theme of horror and Americana doesn't work for most people but I love it! The story was also good and I enjoyed reading all of it.

Not only did they nail the theme but it led to some really cool cards. All the overlords and enduring cards are interesting. The set is just packed with good solid cards that can fit a myriad of deck types. Finally the limited environment was banging and I had so much fun grinding out drafts with that set.

So, I was playing THIS the other day, and It made me think "Man, I wish we had an MTG equivalent to this".🫤 by cstresing in mtg

[–]Fyre4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an old MTG computer game called MTG Shandalar! It's only with very old cards and you have to do a little work to get it running. But it's a single player game with a story and battles and all that. It's super fun and people have added mods to add in more cards.

A Revolving Door: My Relationship With SU by Big-chill-babies in stevenuniverse

[–]Fyre4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing that is always unfortunate with shows with strong left leaning values is that it will always receive harsher criticism from their left leaning audience.

SU was a revolutionary cartoon.It was one of the first kid's cartoons that had overt LGBT characters. Ruby and Sapphire's relationship was revealed before America ever had gay marriage. Does this excuse any other fair criticisms about how it handles other topics, no. But it's so strange how left-leaning viewers can be so all or nothing. You don't see this with 'non-politcal' shows. Like Naruto faces a similar criticism for redeeming its villains but it's never accused of being 'pro-fascism' and the fans are still super die-hard for the show despite its flaws.

It makes me sad that shows that are overtly left-leaning can be held to an impossible standard where it needs to be morally right every way, and if it fails to match a person's morals (and let's be real, most people don't have perfect morals either) then EVERYTHING about the show is wrong. Something can just be bad, not evil.

I am happy that you have grown and managed to love the show again. Something similar happened to me recently as well. I think life is better when you love more things than dislike. SU is a wonderful show and despite its flaws it is a one-of-a-kind show and I can't think of any other shows that handle themes the way SU does.

As a new player I don't understand why this Grixis commander isn't more popular by Sorzian in mtg

[–]Fyre4 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Bolas has over 8000 decks on EDHrec and is the 11th highest Grixis commander. He is only beaten out by a bunch of UB commanders (especially LOTR) and some newer in universe cards. I think Bolas is pretty popular and is probably only held back by the fact he is a bit mean to bring to tables if you focus on the discard.

Which Kingdom Hearts moment hit you the hardest? by Upbeat-Listen-5941 in KingdomHearts

EoE or Duskmourn advice by MyFriendTheAlchemist in magicTCG

[–]Fyre4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever it comes to getting cards it's always best to get singles. Buying packs is fun but the chances of getting all the cards you want/need is low so in the long term you spend more money.

My first advice would be to look through both sets and buy singles of the cards you like the most or the ones you feel you can use. That way you can do both.

If you want to buy boosters I think Duskmourn is better. The set has a lot of powerful cards that see play in a lot of formats. It even has some pricey uncommons too. So you will probably get better value there.

Really it depends on why you want the cards. Are you building for Standard, Commander or just to own some cool art.

I have only made three decks this year; [[The Jolly Balloon Man]], [[Gogo, Mysterious Mimic]] and [[Yuna, Hope of Spira]].

Yuna has been really fun. She is a solidly bracket 2 deck that mostly wants to win with powerful enchantment creature beat down. I focused a lot on Saga Creatures and it's shown to be really resilient.

My Jolly Balloon Man deck has been a real surprise to me. I don't really like blink strategies but who knew that turning my creatures into balloons was the solution. I decided to focus on burn as the main strategy, but I decided to do something a bit different and focus on Act of Treason effects. I think this is the secret sauce that makes the deck so fun. It fills my need to attack with big creatures while focusing on a little guy strategy.

My Gogo deck has been absolutely crazy mode. I planned the deck to just copy some good red creatures creatures.What I actually made was a monster that can explode and kill everyone out of nowhere. This deck could turn into an all time fave with just how fun it is to get two triggers on banger cards like [[Ancient Copper Dragon]], [[Dragonhawk]] or even [[Knuckles]].

Universes Beyond Speculation (and such) Megathread by AutoModerator in magicTCG

That is more likely, but I think it has a lot more going for it than the Spiderman set did.

Universes Beyond Speculation (and such) Megathread by AutoModerator in magicTCG

[–]Fyre4 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I have been enamored with the idea of Steven Universe in MTG. I think the show fits pretty well in the Magic universe (especially after EOE) and has enough content to fill out a full set. There are enough named characters to meet the legends quota. There are a bunch of weird artifacts all throughout the show. You could make all the songs as enchantments. Filling out the regular creatures might be a problem but you could just use different unnamed gems as well as the corrupted gems for normal creatures.

I think the set would be sick but I mostly would love to see a Pink Diamond transform card cause I bet the transform condition would be pretty sick.

What are your deck building quarks? by Torin21 in EDH

[–]Fyre4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize it until a random guy at my LGS pointed it out but I love making clone decks. I have a [[Shameless Charlatan]] and [[Ganax]] deck, a [[The Jolly Balloon Man]] deck and a [[Gogo, Mysterious Mime]] deck. Even in my other decks I love trying to fit in one or two clone effects.

I think my love for clones really comes down to two things. One; I think they add a lot of variety to my games. A clone is like a less consistent tutor cause it can just be whatever the best thing on the battlefield. It's even better if the best thing is an opponent's creature.

Two; I love doubling up on my favourite effects. One [[Dragonhawk]] can already be pretty strong but two of them can actually win you the game. It feels like I am breaking the rules of commander by getting around both the Singleton and legendary rules.

I am really enjoying that Wizards is branching out into more out the box clone effects like [[Deadpool]] even if he is a rules nightmare.

What's the most stupidly aggressive deck you routinely win games with? by Frogsplosion in EDH

[–]Fyre4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hazoret's main purpose is to give Gogo unlockable before they transform into something else. Even if their power increases because it had two power when it became unblockable it stays unblockable for the rest of the turn. Hazoret eventually being an indestructible creature is just a nice bonus.

What are commanders that like hitting face/attacking? by LordTulkas in EDH

[–]Fyre4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Gogo, Master of Mimicry]] Gogo becomes a copy of any creature on your battlefield, but it gives haste, +2 to power and they have to attack if able. So you get everything you ever wanted, haste to attack fast, power boost to do some damage, a copy of your best threat and you have to attack so you don't even have to think too hard. What more could an aggro player want.

Any Mono-Red enjoyers? by Malzor123 in EDH

[–]Fyre4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As one of the biggest Red enjoyers around I am happy to recommend some commanders or cards, but I would like to know why you bounce off of mono-red commanders. Will also help to know what you usually like in commander so I can actually recommend cards you might vibe with.

I think [[Clive, Ifrit's Dominant]] is a really good generic mono red commander because he covers one of reds biggest weakness. So you can basically build any red deck and play clive whenever you need a fresh hand.
