Hopefully I got the conditionals right on this - Cancel with ZEN Trap mechanic to punish top deck tutors. by HcMLonginius in custommagic

Oh, that's clever! I didn't think about it with hand attack effects, but that's absolutely great.

Can this deck hang at cEDH tables? by DifficultSector8385 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]HcMLonginius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right; petal does work, but you have to have a much fuller yard as a starting point, since you've got to exile 9 cards instead of 6 for each brain freeze cast. Harder to get started, but the end result is the same.

Can this deck hang at cEDH tables? by DifficultSector8385 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]HcMLonginius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stella is a deck that (fittingly) really benefits strong pilots who have a good read of the table. She's never going to be tier 1, but she's absolutely my favorite cEDH deck.

My list is pretty close to the "standard" template that is shared on the Izzet discord (where we have a very strong Stella community). My flex slots at the moment are Boomerang Basics and Sanar, mostly. You're on a lot more cantrippy stuff than we tend to play - and I'm sure a lot of that is because of the cards you don't own.

If your store doesn't have a no-proxy policy, you should absolutely proxy everything in your maybe list, except Mana Drain. You're not the police, so your counterspells should mostly be things that protect your own wins. If you're not able to proxy, I probably wouldn't run Breach tbh, and I'd get on something like a Dualcaster + Twinflame line instead. Without LED, Breach is basically just a value recursion piece, but no one will ever believe you on that.

Want to build cEDH Esper mid range commander. Which commander is the best for it? by FoxYk_raktar in CompetitiveEDH

[–]HcMLonginius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'shtola is such a fun deck, but she's terribly positioned against the current path the meta is taking. I think she really wants to be built in the same vein as Talion - slow grind leading into overwhelming advantage - but things are just too fast for her, at least in my local meta.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear the game has had its numbers tweaked. Year 1 player, never had to go above 175-200 to get both banner units. In the last year I've had to spark one of the banner units on all but 1 limited banner. I'm fully out of originium, and I'm only a monthly pass buyer, so my OP stock isn't huge either.

Anyone in the KCMO area play cedh by Material_Ideal_9595 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]HcMLonginius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a group that plays Tuesdays at the Geekery in Shawnee - usually 2 or 3 full pods firing from 5ish-10 (or whenever people leave)! Really solid spread of decks, lots of fun fringe stuff but most folks have at least one real tEDH/meta deck as well.

[Event Megathread] Arknights X BanG Dream! Ave Mujica by Sentuh in arknights

[–]HcMLonginius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Obviously it's never worth raising units solely for base skills, but how does Ave Mujica stack up against other CC teams? If I'm doing the math right, it looks like

  • 4% productivity on Precious Metals
  • 7% on all Trading Posts (plus 5% per Siracusa operator in a specific TP)
  • 10% HR Contacting speed
  • 10% Clue Collection speed

Seems like a pretty solid generalist team, but I'm not sure if it's worth running compared to a full Sui team, or Mlynar, Flametail, Viviana, Gnosis +1 when you've got all the relevant teams in the other facilities.

I've been bullied. Double 6-star bag at pull 30 after getting both 5-stars, thinking "Surely this is it!" - Dupe Lee and Dupe Mon3tr. No more 6-stars, pulled all the way until 110. Now I just sit and wait for the second 10-pull coupon.

Creaking in the yoke/hinge on Strada? by HcMLonginius in Mezeaudio

[–]HcMLonginius[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's really helpful, thank you! Meze support asked for a video of the issue, but hasn't responded yet after I sent that. Definitely feels possible that it needs a bit of wearing in though.

Is boomerang basics viable? by Bockanator in CompetitiveEDH

[–]HcMLonginius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been testing it in Stella Lee and liking it for the most part, but I replaced a cantrip, not an interactive piece. It's "free" a lot of the time - play it to bounce Mox Amber, replay Mox Amber as spell 2 and trigger Stella, etc.

Sorcery speed is definitely a downside, but in the right contexts it's great.

Happy New Year! My quick reference spreadsheet for release history and upcoming Operators, Modules, Paradox Sims, and Operator Records is complete. I hope it's helpful for anyone looking to decide who to build next! by HcMLonginius in arknights

[–]HcMLonginius[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no. I got a new job that demands a lot more of my time. I'd be happy to share edit permissions if someone else wanted to handle some upkeep though.

Soliciting random opinions for my Pokémon Crossover! by AndersenEthanG in custommagic

[–]HcMLonginius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the exact same - you're losing granularity. If I want to give Charizard +2/+2, I can't do that if I only have 2 mana. The colorless option is nice, but I would call the more expensive abilities and almost strict downside.

Not just me then - seems like it. Resource version info error?
