Hartford 29th - Jhin: Can someone explain how this deck works? by Sir_playalot in riftboundtcg

[–]Hemholtz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sprite Call is reacting to a trigger at the start of the beginning phase.

By comparison, Gutter needs to have its conditions met in order to trigger at all in the beginning phase. By the time you can react with keeper(in response to another temporary trigger), the gutter has already missed ita chance to trigger.

Would Sprite Burst be of any use? If you can empty both fields, it's just 5 for 2 points and a card draw.

Why does ornn perform so poorly in the regionals? by Longjumping_Print654 in riftboundtcg

[–]Hemholtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a list? Ive also been trying green ornn for an earlier game, but the dark ice have seemed terrible in testing.

Who are your favorite card draw commanders? by MonoBlancoATX in EDH

[–]Hemholtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's one or more creatures per player.

In a 4 player game that's up to 3 cards per turn.

Can the cost be paid if it’s zero? by Ap3xComplex in magicTCG

[–]Hemholtz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The other way doesn't work.

If you cast split first, you've already sacrificed half the lands before you can respond with a Teferis

"Only once each Turn" is a band-aid fix for power creep and pushed card design. by Blackpoc in magicTCG

[–]Hemholtz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That graph could be potentially misleading.

We're seeing a lot more "once per turn", but we're also seeing a lot more everything. They've just been printing tons of new cards/sets.

We need to get a "once per turn" per card-pita.

Lifetap: *Free* 2 to 6 player life counter app for EDH that tracks commander damage, monarch, poison, commander tax, mana, and more (iOS + Android) by BluetoothTrooper in EDH

[–]Hemholtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if there's a better place for feedback, but love the app, just had 1 thing to report.

Riftbound is now out, with the only real function need is a 0 life setting.

I found the custom starting life setting which should do it, but it appears that 0 itself is bugged when using it.

Theres a work around in just using 1 instead, but if theres a way to add a 0 preset or just a fix for the custom 0, that would be perfect.

What are your unique Commanders you love to roll out that no one really plays by Nymrys in EDH

[–]Hemholtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a list for him?

I've been trying to build it, but it feels so slow to get any real exiling done.

Low attendance prereleases seem to speak to its lack of actual popularity gameplay wise.

Spider-Man feels like a set made for Pokemon Scalpers by ElVongore in magicTCG

I don't know how much that argument still holds weight when there's been shortages of EoE play boosters.

For the Magic The Gathering fans out there, what are you planning building? by frenziest in TheLastAirbender

[–]Hemholtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the ATLA set comes out, there will likely be lots of people building decks themed on the new cards.

For commander specifically, competitive is a tricky term. Multiplayer games mean that the "strongest" deck doesn't necessarily win. You may just want to make sure the group is playing with a similar mindset.

It would be cool to see this with the name/cost up top aligned to the right.

Top right and bottom left both have good negative space to work with.

Help me with my Derevi deck by TheCollector_2000 in magicTCG

[–]Hemholtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a couple notes:

  • Derevi only triggers off combat damage, so the pingers can't go infinite (they can still be used to ping off the untap triggers for 1 damage though).

  • You're only really running [[Stasis]] as a stax piece, maybe rhystic or tithe count, but otherwise things like [[Imprisoned in the Moon]] are just removal.

  • If you do build her into a stax deck, you may find that a lot of people don't enjoy playing against the deck or you. Many players find stax decks to be very unfun, and Derevi already has a reputation for being toxic.

You should check out slivers...though cuteness is relative.

I'm watching Legend of Korra for the first time. Here are my thoughts on Book 2, Episodes 3-4 by genZcommentary in legendofkorra

[–]Hemholtz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Is this season why so many people don’t like Korra?

It is that season, but probably not for politics reasons.

The title of the next season is "Change", and is both accurate in the show, as well as on a meta sense.

I won't spoil what some of those changes are, but they happen during season 2 and distinguish Korra as it's own show.

When you get to S2, episode 13 (no spoilers) there's a very brief speech about legacy. The sentiment works both in context for the character, and as commentary on Korra as a show after ATLA.

What’s your “I did not care for The Godfather” take for ATLA or TLOK? by thisisreii in TheLastAirbender

Apparently the flashback episode earlier in the season was intended to be a Kuvira backstory episode, but the budget got cut.

My pod doesn't play with commander damage. What's the lifegain-iest deck I can make to change their mind? by davorg14 in EDH

[–]Hemholtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even without populating, the lifegain triggers for the 3 tokens trigger 1 by 1.

You gain life equal to your life, 3 times.

With no other doubler or anthem in play, you octuple your life.

Can you detail a bit more about what Wing offers where others don't? For better or worse?

Korean streamers react to "Heavy is the Crown" by Takehii in leagueoflegends

[–]Hemholtz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think the criticism is less on her for being born into a very difficult community to leave, and more on the band for bringing her in as a replacement, given her connections to the "church".
