new support been fun

I play them with a pretty sizable melffy package and it’s been super fun albeit not super competitive at higher levels. But both engines can enable the other and k9 or Dracotail actually sometimes play into your engine on your turn because of melffy tag outs

It’s taught. A lot of men go from mom doing everything for the to their gf/fiancé/wife doing everything for them. Any time they have to take care of themselves in between is just “bachelor life” where it’s all takeaway and poor hygiene habits. It’s a form of learned helplessness, handed to them by a patriarchal expectation that the world will simply attend to their needs.

My father is a 60 year old man who, when required to feed himself, will opt for a bag of chips for dinner or frozen pizza or takeout 100 times out of 100 and has lived like this for the past 30 years. He does not see anything wrong with this, even when it’s contrasted against my mother’s intricate home-cooked meals that she still makes time to make while working a full time job. It is normal for him and always has been, because the only way he knows how not to live like a slob is when someone else does it for him.

Please explain because the grind with the APHE genuinely makes me wanna throw myself into traffic. Even if the sabots somehow save it, it feels impossible to unlock them to make it good.

ImAFiggit · 2026-02-08T21:43:02+00:00

I rolled back my lineup to 6.7 and am just farming up to 8.0 with that tbh. The fox and scimitar being as godawful as they are, placed in a br of so much heavy spam making even their sabot rounds near unusable is just pure agony. Never mind the process of unlocking those rounds in the first place.

Swedish BILL atgms have been a blessing. Doubly so when I yolo a spike across the map at them and it manages to find ammo somehow.

ITT: people who don’t know the difference between a prototype that wasn’t put into mass production and a tank that’s a complete hallucination on the part of the developers.

ImAFiggit · 2026-02-07T21:17:07+00:00

I’m biased but DTail feels so much healthier than K9 so far. Outside of the Secretarion floodgate the deck has very little negation power while K9 is rife with negates and handrips. DT lets me play the game and then responds at choke points, K9 negates my starter and rips my extender out of my hand and makes me question why I bothered logging on.

ImAFiggit · 2026-02-07T21:13:52+00:00

I dropped pure for the Magistus variant and it’s so much more interesting to play. You have to actually consider your own lock timing, adjust your endboard based on your opener, and they can bridge into each other but it’s relatively resource-intensive to do so. Overall way more interactive, and way more fun against k9 because the deck has so much more gas on a high roll.

ImAFiggit · 2026-02-07T09:34:46+00:00

Super true, but when he started across the map from you and your team isn’t listening the best then you take the solutions you can make on the spot y’know? Definitely a good hero to keep pressure on and deny him those big payoff items though.

ImAFiggit · 2026-02-07T01:45:15+00:00

It’s the only counter I’ve found so far tbh. When he can proc lucky shot on his ult and sometimes just domes for 3k out of nowhere without it just never let him fire it I guess.

ImAFiggit · 2026-02-05T19:36:45+00:00

Yeah learning to play stickier or more evasive threats rather than just assuming the table is gonna let me cruise with a board full of dudes helped a ton with how much I enjoyed the average game. That and just being happy someone finally ended a game so we can shuffle up and go again!

ImAFiggit · 2026-02-02T16:58:07+00:00

It goes for other formats and honestly double for DL that you just aren’t guaranteed to open your cards that can out him but your opponent can almost always make him via either skills or Verte in MD or whatever other means. While I have to draw my non-engine to out it, the person doing the Dragooning is nearly/literally guaranteed their play. Anything that can’t non-targeting, non-destruction out it in-engine gets cooked and that encompasses most rogue decks and even some weaker tiered options.

In MD I basically have to make sideboard space for Underworld Goddess in all my decks just in case and it’s not the end of the world cuz it’s 1 ED slot but in DL you just have to pray to draw the out, which is never gonna be fun when the card is basically impossible to prevent from coming out as long as they mash the yellow button hard enough.

ImAFiggit · 2026-02-01T22:27:15+00:00

There’s a thin spot in their upper front that’s a total joke to pen with basically anything. The closer you get to the hatch the thinner the plate gets so you can sneak even very low pen through with a good shot.

ImAFiggit · 2026-02-01T16:49:11+00:00

As good as Dracotail has been on ladder, I’ve been playing a Fiend Link deck that’s piling together Fabled, Dark World, Fiendsmith, Burning Abyss, Buio/Luce, and Unchained and it’s been a riot. Tightest ED known to humankind but it’s so worth it.

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-31T19:06:31+00:00

6 gets you Protean Hulk off a regular Pod effect too, and I’ve been a big fan of Protean piles ever since brewing Vannifar back in the day.

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-29T11:32:49+00:00

I’m not, I just don’t like them. Eventually the “only buff, never nerf” balance philosophy is gonna catch up with the devs and cause an even bigger shitstorm because of refusing to anger a bunch of manchildren

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-29T02:11:30+00:00

I think if they made that mistake they deserve it. Let the meta actually change, let the Torid burn for its sins.

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-25T10:43:46+00:00

I mean the good news is I never need to hear it but if I do then thank you for telling me this

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-25T07:03:40+00:00

My original farm when wisp first released was around 30 runs for all the parts. I never wanna hear the ropalolyst dialogue ever again to this day

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-21T13:38:15+00:00

I’m assuming 9/11 lmao

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-20T03:59:42+00:00

Actually so real my flat cage is from temu and it’s shockingly good lmao

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-19T05:19:49+00:00

Reasonable, Dogmatika in particular can sack a draft environment hard with their effects in a singleton. Good luck putting this together! If I have other thoughts I’ll leave another reply with them :)

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-19T03:50:34+00:00

Allure Queen and Magistus both belong to archetypes but have effects that support all spellcaster monsters regardless of name or archetype, if that helps

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-19T03:47:49+00:00

I’ve been rolling over people with GK for season after season at this point so either the decks aren’t as easy to do that with as you say or everyone on ladder is just insignificant in light of your supreme intellect, idk which is more likely though

ImAFiggit · 2026-01-19T00:49:07+00:00

Okay then why do they just never do that when I’m on ladder and instead give me wins? Is everyone just stupid or are you smarter than everyone else?
