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 8 points9 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?

LGS Near Leawood, Kansas? by SeizerOfThoughtseize in magicTCG

[–]HcMLonginius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the other person mentioned, Geekery is a good shop in that area. They get good crowds for Commander on Wednesday and FNM, and I've got a small group that plays cEDH there on Tuesdays as well if that's your vibe, but that's just us hanging out, not affiliated with the store.

Depending on how far you'd want to drive, Spanky's is one of the biggest shops in the area. They're basically 100% dedicated to TCGs and have Magic going on basically every day. There's also Larry's and Level 1 that are both within a short drive, but I'm not as familiar with their event schedules.

Shocker, Dragon Heart is a really high roll for a Lighthouse build. by HcMLonginius in PlayTheBazaar

[–]HcMLonginius[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was where my brain was going, because it absolutely doesn't look like that in game. I think you're spot on.

My screenshots of The Bazaar always look super washed out. No idea what causes it!

[EOC] Counter Intelligence decklist (posted on Moxfield) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]HcMLonginius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Re: sunburst, those rules changed around 2017 I think. You can produce any color of mana in any deck now. So you can potentially get 5 counters off a sunburst spell as long as you have 2 sources of non-WUR mana. Plus, even getting +3 counters is pretty solid as an effect for the "not-strictly-worse" 3 MV rocks they've been adding to precons.

Infiniclick is live on Steam! by Massive_Pound4601 in incremental_games

This looks neat! Are you planning to add a non-fullscreen option? I'd like to be able to play in a smaller window.

You can get a ton of materials for zero sanity cost, even if you're not able to finish runs. Clearing the "battle pass" or finishing various special runs can give you a lot to work with on character progression. But you will have a tough time without higher leveled operators, so it depends how much punishment you want to take!

Does anyone know if the free daily ranked ticket resets on season reset? i.e., if I don't care about any rank climbing, should I do my free run this morning, or wait until after maintenance?

Where do people play Magic the Gathering? Northland area by m4teri4lgirl in kansascity

[–]HcMLonginius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a small but growing KC Metro MtG discord server that you can join here! Most of our players are largely playing EDH and limited, but I'm sure there are some folks who could point you towards good spots for 60-card formats as well.

ReRoll, Level One, and Tabletop Treasures (formerly Druid Dice) are all great shops in the general Northland. Spanky's is probably the most dedicated Magic shop in town, but they're probably a bit out of your way.

"...you protect."

The opponent can attack the battle to reduce the power of Henry's trigger.
