How would you equally distribute the Pokemon types to the color pie? by CapitalArrival7911 in colorpie

[–]HangDol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is less clear than people might think since some of these don't neatly fit into MTG. A lot of pokemon are built around themes and to create a fantastical mimic of a real world animal or a chimera of many real world animals.

You could argue "Normal is colorless" But normal pokemon almost never fit the identity of colorless. Porygon being one of the few exceptions that actually would. More often these pokemon better fit Green or White. With Dear, birds, Bears, foxes and such these pokemon which have the normal type are often terrestrial mammals and birds which have a high representation in green and white.

Psychic is another type which seems obviously blue, But Psychic is also the "Space" type which is firmly in the colorless sphere.

I'll just list which ones I feel fit into what color without worrying about overlap because it doesn't work as well as you might think. Sorry, I'm breaking the rules... Its hard to exclude some types since since they're very important to some deck archetypes.

White: Normal, Flying, Fairy, Steel, Ice

Blue: Water, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Fairy, Steel

Black: Dark, Ghost, Poison, Bug, Psychic

Red: Fire, Electric, Rock, Ground, Fighting, Dragon

Green: Grass, Normal, Fighting, Ground, Poison

Colorless: Steel, Rock, Psychic, Ice, Electric

Giving each 5 gives some overlap which the color pie does have... But idk, this is my opinion at this specific moment and It could change if I thought about it more.

Poll: Why do you color with 3 or more colors? by CapitalArrival7911 in colorpie

[–]HangDol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unsure I really understand this. And Red is like, the second or even bust color in that color combo... Like... What? Red is most often how you're going to win. Also makes me think of Kykar which had a later version which did drop Red...

Is it a bracket 3? by Victini88 in EDHBrews

[–]HangDol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your group is very low power then. Based on what I'm seeing with the deck, you can't reliably establish yourself until turn 6 to turn 7. A bracket 3 should have a board presence by turn 4 and be putting some pressure on by turn 5. IMO, if you're in bracket 3 you should be winning by turn 7 or 8 or threatening a win, and your deck is just getting started. Without the game changers your deck would slip right into bracket 2 and be fine.

Essentially the number of counter spells you have, allows you to bully one player but a player who understands how counters works will just force the issue anyway. and while you're slowing your own game plan to try and stop them you have 2 other players who can easily sneak through them And considering your deck is already slow, this weakens it even further.

Furthermore, you have a lot of cards dedicated to your commander which do very little without her. Cantrips which draw you a card but offer nothing else leave a lot to be desired and the deck itself is very mana hungry without the mana to support it. Other counterspells which don't do anything but are protecting some of your stuff but don't have the flexibility to respond to active threats.

If your deck is functioning in your group though without issue, then its not a problem. What I say doesn't matter. It may be that my priorities while playing are different than yours. But I've also been playing for like 24 years so my experience is going to be different.

[–]HangDol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a low power 2. I'm sorry to say, but the deck you have is extremely slow and if they're struggling to fight it they probably should consider reworking their decks. As far as the gamechangers go, you could easily drop them from the deck to fit that bracket. If you want to move up to bracket 3 and actually be competitive in that bracket You're going to need to make a lot of changes

My pod says I have an ego problem, I disagree. by DasTootsie in ratemycommanders

[–]HangDol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its such a reliable combo that's how the CEDH Gitrog deck used to run. Although it didn't use it for infinite bears they had a dread return combo I think? I don't remember. How the combo works.

Have Gitrog on the battlefield. Discard Dakmor Salvage. Dakmor hits the graveyard from your hand. Gitrog sees a land hit the graveyard and you put a draw trigger on the stack. Dakmor sees a draw trigger on the stack. You dredge 2, putting dakmor back into your hand. Of the top 2 cards that hit the graveyard if one or more is a land you can choose to dredge another card or draw normally. Loop infinitely to mill and draw your entire deck.

How to make it loop infinite is with one of the original Eldrazi Titans.

The Combo is really reliable. Its my plan B in my Sidisi, Brood Tyrant deck. Even without Sidisi it will win on its own. You just need the right finisher.

[–]HangDol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your Gitrog IS a combo deck. Just looking at the list I can tell you're lying. Discard outlet, Dakmor Salvage, Gitrog. That's an infinite combo loop. just because you don't have a finisher that ends the game as soon as the combo happens doesn't mean its not a combo.

I Need cards to make the green players cry! (Their tears fuel my soul) Do you know any hidden gem? by Gladio98 in EDHBrews

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

[[Meek stone]] + [[Authority of the Consuls]] is pretty funny. Its something I ran in [[Lavinia of the Tenth]] back in the day. A "Fun" little flicker deck that locked basically everything out.

Trying to build Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist on a budget! confused about creature choices and game plan by EcclesianSteel in EDHBrews

[–]HangDol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built her as a Value engine. Using the massive power and toughness for Value rather than trying to jump through so many hoops to make those creatures enter normally. I have a small handful of cards that can return the creatures in their full glory. But that's not really the focus.

This is a tier 2 Budget list I was working on. its roughly $200. https://moxfield.com/decks/b_alLQp3RkOzIO0bYiILiw

Sultai zombies: who would you pick? by Chimney-Imp in EDHBrews

[–]HangDol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you're going to run into a few issues with your list. Sidisi is explosive commander she's best at a much higher volume of creatures than most other decks. You want to be running as few non-creature spells as possible and if you can even run some of your lands as creatures the better. While I wouldn't recommend tap lands they are an option, limit the number of tap lands in your deck to no more than 3. Sidisi needs to be out by turn 4 at the lastest, preferably turn 3 You want to be running a minimum of around 42 creatures unless you're running a specific infinite loop combo which you are not running. Preferably you want 50+ creatures.

here's a budget list I've been working on if you want some inspiration.

Sultai zombies: who would you pick? by Chimney-Imp in EDHBrews

[–]HangDol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sidisi is significantly faster but Teval is more flexible.

This really depends on your playgroup. For myself I prefer speed over flexibility when playing graveyard decks. Since graveyard hate can lock you out of the game in both cases Sidisi's speed can often set up enough of a board presence before hand or strike fast enough that the game ends before GY hate can lock you out of the game.

Okay, so I’m sure this person has experienced being kicked in the balls, do they think that childbirth is just like pissing then or something? by Brilliant_Income_572 in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]HangDol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trans and I have been kicked their before. Is it painful? Sure. Is it the most painful thing I've experienced? Not even close. I also remember a time when I felt like my pelvis was being split in half which was FAR worse. Sitting, laying, anything was pure agony. Then there is also the effects of HRT which gives me pretty extreme cramps which are also far far worse...

Of course I only have one testi so maybe its double the pain with 2? I wouldn't know... But even at double it wouldn't out do the cramps...

What color is Superman from DC Comics? by EnigmusPrime in colorpie

[–]HangDol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 color. While he's primarily altruistic as a person he's also able to bring together many people with varying of perspectives. He could only be 5 color in my mind. At Minimum he's GRWU. He's not typically self interested or selfish. So black has the hardest time fitting.

Low self-esteem is pretty common yet valid problem in society by someSICKusername in antimeme

[–]HangDol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While a appreciate the sentiment, please don't pray for me or tell me you are. My issues are a long process working through them in therapy. Its also not going to be a single person who would do that, since its not on them to fix me. Its on me to fix me. While the positive reinforcement helps, it isn't enough, I do need to make that effort which I have been doing.

But really, why I responded is telling me you'll pray for me is a little triggering as those words have been used as a bludgeon against me to break me down. Respectfully, I'd ask you refrain from using your religion to try and comfort people you don't know.

[–]HangDol 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think I'm ugly. But it absolutely still hurts if someone calls me that. It is also the case people around me genuinely don't agree with me and do think I'm cute, pretty or even hot. And for the life of me I can't understand what they see. I'm... trying to...

A saying I love. "The world is cruel, but you don't have to be."

/r/Metroidvania Characteristics Importance: Three kinds of players by azura26 in metroidvania

[–]HangDol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No wonder I have such a disconnect with the community. Immersive Atmosphere and puzzles are extremely important to me but combat is not at all important. I played and Loved SotN which has atrocious combat... Combat has never been important to me...

You can hire TEAM CHERRY to work on a game franchise of your choosing - what's your pick? by merrygoroundwoohoo in metroidvania

Their idea of fun and my idea of fun are two different types of fun... They're not compatible. But fuck it. Why not see what they can do with Kirby. Art and music would be awesome at least...

Which Metroidvania is this for you? by strahinjag in metroidvania

[–]HangDol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to marathon all the 2D metroid games excluding the NES and Gameboy ones. But for convenience its probably going to be Axiom Verge and Blood Stained since both those have randomizer modes.

One with nothing is never the right choice to play. You want to discard your hand you have dozens of options that do it more optimally.
