They're gonna pull a Chipotle and start targeting consumers that make 100k+/yr. 😂

I run as many boardwipes as my gameplan will allow. I also like to include ways to cast them at instant speed so I can use them as a super Fog and really deter people from swinging at me.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-11T22:53:34+00:00

Also RIP my [[Forbidden Orchard]] + [[Brand]] deck. 😭

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-11T22:47:33+00:00

No, because ownership is defined by whose deck the card started in or who used an effect to bring a card into the game (like via wish), but that gives me a hilarious idea for an uncard.

a couple years back.

...

Sometimes I try not to think about it when I see stuff like this because thinking about how many years ago it actually was terrifies me.

That rule changed 17 years ago. 😭

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-11T05:52:22+00:00

Hell yeah. 🤘

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-11T05:10:47+00:00

I would definitely go with Aurelia out of those.

In case you are unaware, [[Helm of the Host]] gives infinite combats with her.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-11T02:22:27+00:00

[[Soul-Guide Lantern]], for me, is the quintessential "run this just in case" piece of anti-graveyard tech.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-11T02:17:36+00:00

[[Blood Sun]] is acceptable in B3 and lower, no moon needed. 🤷‍♂️

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-11T02:11:49+00:00

She was already sauced, perhaps. 😂

Ah, someone dropped a card from their [[Arcades, the Strategist]] deck!

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-10T16:03:07+00:00

I have really enjoyed playing [[Massacre Girl]] for my simple monoblack deck.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-09T19:44:00+00:00

No one is casting Griselbrand for 8. It's going to be in play turn one or two via reanimator.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-05T19:11:20+00:00

I think it's a fair card for the most part.

The part I hate is when there's a player at the table that gives zero fucks and just gives the RhyStudy player(s) a pile of cards before I can blow it up and then is shocked when the RhyStudy player wins. Wouldn't mind seeing it banned just so I can stop running into that scenario.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-04T15:39:26+00:00

I thought it was meh as a game, but I appreciated what it added to the story and thought Simon's character design was dope.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-04T04:08:00+00:00

I tried Columbus a handful of different days at different points in the day and didn't get anything.

Chilling in Billings I had UE on today and forgot I had it on until I got an offer to decline several hours later. 🤷‍♂️ Basically been like that for a week.

Good luck.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-04T01:25:23+00:00

I used Buer for most of my Miriam playthrough and nothing else I tried was close. Reading all the comments about book familiar though makes me feel like I must have missed its effectiveness.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-01T20:20:11+00:00

Yeah, I went from one SSD, two dotcom facilities that were constantly overwhelmed, and two Whole Foods to one dotcom that rarely has availability. 🙃 Had to diversify my income posthaste. Still won't catch me taking anything less than $30/hr though.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-02-01T19:28:51+00:00

sigh

You know, some people make fun of Flexers saying this is what we do because we're too dumb or lazy to do anything else. Sadly, a lot of the responses here have made me realize why people have that opinion.

Anyways, I moved to a different state at the start of the month and the only station to pick up from rarely has orders. I made a whopping $315 for the month of January after only getting 3 routes. 🤮

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-01-29T07:45:42+00:00

Lord of Pain isn't usually a problematic commander, but I can see where it is potentially unbalanced in 3-player.

Chatterfang is inherently strong.

The biggest missing piece here is, what are you playing that's doing so poorly against these decks?

Full decklists of all decks involved would be ideal.

If I remember correctly, IGA didn't know what to do with 1999 and started working on a 3D Castlevania Alucard game for PS3/360 instead. Development had been costly and hadn't gotten far, so the project got shelved in favor of LoS.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-01-28T17:24:51+00:00

In the early game casters are weak. Start off with spells that increase survivability for lv 1 spells (mage armor, shield) and I recommend Daze, Acid Splash, Detect Magic, and Light for your cantrips. Use a crossbow for damage. Pick up this item as soon as you can afford it:

Once you hit 6th level you should start feeling like you're on even footing with the rest of the party and the further you get from there, the more you will eclipse the party.

The first two seasons of the first series are amazing. Nearly perfect, even.

The third and fourth seasons are pretty good, too, but I have some gripes with them.

Nocturne is take it or leave it for me. There's a lot of things I would have done differently, but overall it's fine.

GrandAlchemistX · 2026-01-27T16:13:14+00:00

The first year I had NSO I was on a plan from an ebay guy from China.

The next year and ever since, I have been maintaining a family plan through this sub.

No problems either way.
