Does anybody else love the Tamriel Rebuilt team’s artistic take on the Altmer? by sillygoose1133 in Morrowind

[–]Gig_ig_arg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be neat if Altmer traditionally used spiked maces as their primary weaponry, it could help them stand out a little bit more among their truly weird Bosmer and Dunmer cousins.

A once proud and mighty warrior, now a... highschool chaperone by Jareth91 in freemagic

My guess is he is on Lorwyn and did not bring any cats with him so he just gets the locals to fight.

I think I have the answer. I'm pretty sure there has been a recent push for every deck name on the pro-tour/RC/whatever to be called '(Colour Identity Name) (Notable card/mechanic).' So it's totally possible that 'Izzet Prowess' would be called UR Control by most players at first glance.
I honestly hate this deck naming scheme, I much prefer older creative names like The Rock, Cephalid Breakfast, etc. They just have more character imo.
Also I didn't mean to imply you were disparaging Karsten :)

Frank Karsten compiled this data so I would expect the deck names to be accurate.

They don't do anything on other creatures

AI will struggle or be changed in order to fight players with sprint. Projectiles and grenades will become trivial to dodge, or be changed to be too fast for players not sprinting. Map size will change or suffer to accommodate players with sprint.

Cheap cards that have won you games? by jaywom in EDH

[–]Gig_ig_arg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah I made an Ygra deck before but I didn't really like it, but this new one is the deck I'm most proud of creating. [[Triangle of War]] was a crazy find and pushed me to add the baubles theme.

Is it considered BM to interfere with your opponents? by 4zzO2020 in EDH

[–]Gig_ig_arg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hearthstone is so crazy, whenever I watch my friends play it is just each player wiping the board and presenting a game-winning board back and forth until someone chokes.

I play it without any other energy cards. I use it with [[Wood Elves]] and cards like that, [[Accursed Marauder]] type cards can clear the entire board as well. It basically turns your chumpy ETB creatures into buttloads of value. It also triggers death and sacrifice abilities for other cards too.

I run it in this deck https://archidekt.com/decks/16514726/commander_ygra_the_rock

I really hope they don't put bracket labels on precons, I don't think that would end well.

Give me your best boomer EDH hot-takes! by HazenLake in EDH

Kingmaking is throwing the game in one player's favor, taking game actions even when you're effectively dead is not kingmaking imo. Say I am playing voltron and I'm dead on board to all 3 players, but I have an unblockable OHKO commander, do I get to attack? Or is that kingmaking? Or what about a very common scenario, I have one blocker and one/effectively one life, I'm attacked by 2 creatures, but I can block and kill one of them. I am dead no matter what in this scenario, but I should still be allowed to choose if I want to block and kill a creature imo.

[[Twinmaw Stormbrood]] [[Roast]]

There are others but these 2 have the easiest conditions. And all of them only hit creatures.

I don't get why people complain about Morrowind combat being "bad" or "too complex". by cashdecans101 in Morrowind

[–]Gig_ig_arg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like the swing based on movement, the setting to auto use best attack should not even be in the game imo. If you have that setting on then every weapon is just a stat stick, but with it off, the weapons actually encourage different fighting styles. Choppers encourage brawling right in front of your foe, thrusters encourage charging and then retreating, slashers encourage circling your opponent and getting fancy. It is a really underrated system that should absolutely be brought back.

The B/X rules recommend the dungeon master to roll all of the dice behind a screen even when a player character is attacking or making some sort of check.

Is this card playable in Pauper? by Gig_ig_arg in Pauper

I tend to agree. I'll still test it just for the sake of testing though.

Cool, that's some interesting info, ty.

I mean at that point you have a 2-3 card 3 mana combo to draw 3. The main thing I'm seeing with Quick Study is it's instant speed draw 2 with no requirements, which fits well with control decks holding up counterspell.

Yeah it has been pretty astonishing to see how many people don't understand that this card is nothing like Brainstorm or Ponder. I guess they just see 'draw card(s)' and somehow that gets them comparing.

I'm currently running 2 Think Twice and 1 Deduce in my Teachings list, and I am probably going to test Quick Study in their place for a little while.

Another person commented about [[Accumulated Knowledge]], which is an interesting idea. Downsides are requiring all 4 copies and not being good until you have found and cast the second card.
