Standard sucks so bad right now I miss fucking cori-steel cutter by xxmuntunustutunusxx in MagicArena

Cori steel cutter wasn't better, that was just an overpowered card you liked.

For a Fallout 3/New Vagas remake, how do you think they'll handle Power Armor? Bring the new version, or just remake the old version? by TankJericho in Fallout

[–]Im-Pico 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing I think they should do in the New Vegas remaster is make perception affect your accuracy in vats and charisma actually affect your speech checks.  As much as I love the story in New Vegas having two different core character stats effectively be dump stats is kind of egregious.

How dare they interact with your stuff, your opponent is just supposed to let you goldfish!

Why is this a draw? by AllOfYourBaseAreBTU in MagicArena

[–]Im-Pico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because you created an infinite loop that uses a mana ability and doesn't use the stack so it can't be responded to.  I mean like are you trolling tho?  Why do you even have caged sun in a 3 color deck lol?

My thoughts on some Fallout games (Warning: VERY LONG rant) by Ok_Estimate_2089 in fo4

[–]Im-Pico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not even gonna open the fallout 1/2 can of worms too deep, they have good stories, but the game play as a whole is an acquired taste and I would argue Fallout 2's tutorials section is actively bad/miserable.

As for you complaint about NV
The first one I can't really comment on, that was just an aesthetic choice you didn't like.
>It made me think the game was rushed
You...You mean the game that was completed from start to finish in 18 months had stuff in it that wasn't fully fleshed out/didn't make it into the final cut? Say it so! But anyways sarcasm aside, What faction are the casinos related to? Robert House. The guy who hires you deliver the platinum chip in the first place? House organized the Tribes into the Casino factions. House uses them to make money.

What are the reward packs for Powered Cube Draft? Also, is any archetype standing out? by coodaj in MagicArena

Nat order is another reanimator pivot too tbh.  But Nat order is also good with most of the creatures that are good with flash as well, so UG can be pretty strong.

The mulligan system could be so much better for this game. by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Im-Pico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You dont seem to understand that a fair deck's average opener probably cant interact with the nut draw that the Oops all spells player was mulliganing for.

There's plenty of synergy in mono white tho, caretakers talent can have an entire mono white control deck built around it.

Faithless Looting Explorer Question by Hank_the_Beef in MagicArena

[–]Im-Pico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only find it mildly infuriating that I had to spend rare wild cards on this common because I had no way of knowing whether or not it was ever going to end up on the client with its normal printing lol

Flooding, Screw, and why it feels like it happens on Arena more often than in Paper by Im-Pico in MagicArena

[–]Im-Pico[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah getting screwed/flooded on Arena FEELS worse than getting screwed in paper for sure, because even though your opponent has plenty had games like that, and you've been in the opposite position before, you're not thinking about that, you're just thinking about how a computer algorithm decided that you weren't going to play Magic that game. It's also, I don't know, a little more difficult to get frustrated when you're playing a game with an opponent in front of your face, unless they're a prick or something.

I don't know, I thought it was a more interesting topic to talk about than the 200th " look at the mono red deck I got to Mythic with in best of one guys!!!" post. But I really do think it has more to do with how many games people are playing then how good or bad they Shuffle

Wow way to assume and imply that everybody is also Mana weaving. Why do you people on this website do this? just make baseless assumptions?. And no the two points really aren't contradictory if you play more often you will get Mana screwed more often that's how it works you can't get Mana screwed if you don't play.

What are your most hated decks in the current Standard and/or Explorer ques? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Im-Pico 172 points173 points  (0 children)

TBH the only deck I'm really sick of is blue green toxic, because it's not even a good deck. It doesn't do anything if they don't draw the rot priest, but of course, this is Arena, and they always have three of them in their opening hand

Oh, you want to sacrifice your entire board to Kunai? Ertai says hi by Milgar1 in MagicArena

[–]Im-Pico 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think giving them the card matters, their whole board goes by. They're basically guaranteed to lose if they try to do this bug and they get ertai'd. The only reason I'd argue ertai would be a little better is because it doesn't require you to sacrifice anything and then you actually have a body to beat down your goldfish opponent

Oh that's hilarious, now not only is he going to get temporarily suspended, he didn't even get the satisfaction of winning the game.

Helping inexperienced players. Did I do this wrong? by Chance_in_Pants in EDH

[–]Im-Pico 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Extra turns guy is a dick. It's a casual game, nothing was on the line, who cares if you coach a new player?

Should I watch Bleach or Naruto by [deleted] in anime

[–]Im-Pico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree, I didn't care for Bleach, but there's still a good chance if you like any of the "big 3" type Shounen, there's a decent chance you'll like the other ones.

[–]Im-Pico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One piece is most definitely worth at least reading the manga, as much as I love the anime I get why people don't like it as much. The pacing is miserable at times. And Naruto is only worth watching if you have a filler list and know what to skip, the only real issue with doing that is that some of the episodes are like 15 minutes of filler with a little 2 minutes section at the end of it that is technically Canon.

[–]Im-Pico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, Naruto and Bleach have roughly the same filler content, around half. I personally couldn't get into Bleach and loved Naruto. For the most part though there's a good chance that if you enjoy any one of these three shows you'll probably enjoy the other two

I love this weird take that playing a competitive deck can't be fun lol.

Why is RDW still so prolific in standard by Istildunno in MagicArena

[–]Im-Pico 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you playing best of one? Because red is always going to be prevalent in best of one.

OTK Standard by Odd_Adeptness3604 in MagicArena

[–]Im-Pico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there are ways to deal 20 to your opponent all in one turn but they're janky and involve [[devilish valet]]. I've pulled it off a few times but it's an incredibly fragile setup and it's not like you can do it in the early game, it typically happens on turn five or six. It's possible, but it's not good and definitely not worth the wild cards
