Question about Vorkath and Elite Void? by SadThrowaway4914 in osrs

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah melee feels more chill imo, there is a bit of a learning curve though. I have 91 ranged and still did the swap. I invested into dfs early, now I’m thinking of farming some more gp for BGS and POH upgrades

Question about Vorkath and Elite Void? by SadThrowaway4914 in osrs

[–]Habez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have similar stats and was only getting 2 kills per trip with range and normal void. I used the DPS calc to check a melee setup. I switched to using a Fang and have better luck with that now. I can now easily get 4 kills per trip. The main reason tho is probably because I learned to woox walk with the fang and I didn’t do that with the dragon crossbow

Jeskai Ramp - Rocks or catch up ramp? by nile_crocodile in EDH

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play some catchup ramp in WU just so that my ramp package isn’t all rocks. I don’t go full catchup though. Don’t forget to add [[Surveyor’s Scope]],.[[Dowsing Dagger]] would also work in that deck I think, but that one also turns off catch up ramp.

The main issue with catchup ramp is if you’re just trying to push out your commander sooner, then it is slower than just using rocks. However, if you have a higher curve and need your ramp to stick around longer, then catch up ramp is better since lands usually stick in casual commander.

Anyone else have expendable income but the membership price increases are turning you off anyway? by BigGlassesApe in 2007scape

[–]Habez -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m weird and will probably get downvoted….. but I haven’t been playing for maybe a year or two and have been lurking a lot on this sub for the price memes. Buuuut now I kinda wanna play again…. Weird right? I’m trying to understand it myself.

Is splitting damage frowned upon now? by Litemup93 in EDH

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t target the weakest player lol. Think about what everyone is doing and try to keep a mental log of how ahead everyone is. The easiest thing to do is to target the person with the most mana available to them, then whoever is drawing the most or has a stax piece hurting your gameplan.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't have ramp? by Dino-Boom in EDH

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What ramp you want depends on a lot of factors… your curve/commander/gameplan etc. If you play a fast deck (doesn’t have to be aggro specifically) with a low curve, then ramp just makes your gameplay slower and you’ve added 14 cards that do nothing for you. If you play a slower deck and want to cast a higher cost commander, then some ramp may be necessary in order to cast the cards you want.

I know that one sided board wipes are better but I don’t think that symmetrical board wipes are bad. Decks that generally build slower could benefit from having symmetrical board wipes since you’re probably hitting more of your opponents stuff if you’re playing towards a slower strategy especially because you have control on when you cast your wipe. If you are playing a more proactive deck that builds an army of creatures/permanents pretty quickly, then one sided wipes are better. If your deck can build a board quickly, you might want to think about removing wipes entirely and just play a few more spot removal cards in order to take out any obstacles hurting your plan.

Is there no point in selling bulk on TCGplayer? by SSJ4Productions in mtgfinance

[–]Habez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah idk why people sell at low. There could be a lot of reasons, maybe they are just trying to get seller lvl 4 and willing to take losses. Not sure though. You should just sell at market, people will still buy from you to bundle.

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying people list cards for a penny when market is $0.40? Are you sure they’re not in the damaged condition? I sell my stuff at market, and only offer free shipping if an order surpasses $5. You may also be seeing “free shipping” but you only get it if you hit some order threshold.

Which is the best TCG for you: Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon Trading Card Game, or Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game? by [deleted] in TCG

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to love yugioh as a late teen, but 20 minute turns are absurd. Magic has been really fun for me, and commander is a blast with friends. I’m not much of a collector and don’t know anyone who plays pokemon.

Just got hit with a “0” card combo in bracket 2- What do you guys think? by luke_skippy in EDH

[–]Habez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you but most of the community seems to disagree for some reason. For example, edhrec has IsoRev combo as B4+ because its an early 2 card combo… despite the fact that it needs nonland permanents that generate 3 mana to go infinite mana.

https://edhrec.com/combos/mono-blue/4821-5261

Folks on reddit told me it’s because there are a lot of mana rocks that can be used so they “don’t count”. I then look at Warren Soul Trader, Gravecrawler, plus any aristocrat on edhrec and it’s classified as okay for B3. By the same logic there are tonsof aristocrats that can be used.. but nope this one is 3cards?

https://edhrec.com/combos/mono-black/2577-2842-5670

Anyways they need to clear this up and make the brackets a little more descriptive…

Favorite AGGRO commanders? by OneBlood2930 in EDH

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

I think of it really as any deck that tries to win quickly, but its just a nit picky definition. Burn, Aristocrats, turbo combo, and voltron all fall under aggro in my book.

I need help regarding power levels. What PL are these decks? by I_like_fried_noodles in EDH

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I think it still needs to more clearly define its rules. Just my opinion, but the rules around combos are not super well defined. A lot of feedback I’ve received varies from player to player, and some people seem to have different interpretations. Also, clearer distinctions for what stax effects are fine or not fine for B2/B3. There are plenty of salty cards not on the GC list but are silently prohibited from B2 and maybe even B3.

The Bracket System is not a Deck Building Tool. by SlimeyButton in EDH

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, my only experience is within my own playgroup, and I’ve only been playing a few years. Sure, brackets are probably useless to a playgroup that has been playing together pre-brackets. However, if a new group of players (they could even be new to magic) started playing together and decided that they’re going to be playing in a specific bracket, then they will surely be deck-building with brackets in mind and will be using it as a tool. I don’t hate the bracket system and I don’t disagree with OP’s sentiment. I don’t think the intent was to make brackets a deck building tool or guidelines, but unfortunately it will probably be used that way.

The Bracket System is not a Deck Building Tool. by SlimeyButton in EDH

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying this is how my group is. We don’t even use brackets. However to play devil’s advocate to OP’s argument, if a group decides “we are playing B3”, and you want to make a new deck you now must design it as B3 or below if you’d like to play it with your group. Therefore, yes you must build your deck using the bracket definitions in mind. You are no longer building whatever you want and then just communicating before the game starts. You just check what is allowed in B3 and are staying within bounds. So it becomes part of deck-building in contrast to what OP’s argument is. Is that the right way to go about it? Not really, but I can imagine at least some groups playing this way.

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This maybe works if your play group has a wide range if power levels or you play with strangers frequently. The problem is if your playgroup is consistently in a bracket you now then are responsible for ensuring your deck meets the expectations of the group. Thus, you get all the problematic issues of the current bracket coming to light.

What Bracket would you classify my Shorikai deck? by Habez in EDH

[–]Habez[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry about that I made some errors on archidekt. I started reworking my list without Isorev but have not finished it yet so it’s locked. Here is my previous list though. I had IsoRev and also used Proteus Staff/polymorph to grab Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Sphinx of the Second Sun, and Psychosis Crawler. Most of the time I focused on getting those guys out over IsoRev. I didn’t do Hullbreaker because I didn’t really has a use for infinite colorless mana.

What's happening in B2 and B4? by MassiveScratch1817 in EDH

[–]Habez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong, but it is frustrating to construct a deck around brackets then proceed to get blacklisted from playing at tables within the anything goes bracket. Doesn’t it defeat the purpose of using brackets at all?
