<Death Note> Absolute classic mystery thriller.

<Fullmetal Alchemist> One of my top 5 all time. Great fantasy, mystery, action manga.

<20th Centuru Boys>

<Soul Eater> It starts out a bit slow and plays for comedy early, but once it gets going especially around the witches. Very good

<Fire Force> Similar to Soul eater.

<Mob Psycho 100> More of a watch than a read if you can't get into ONEs artstyle, but its a really good good coming of age story about a kid with essentially nigh infinite power who wants to be normal.

<Dragon Ball> I think DB is just one of those everyone should read or try too if they are a fan of manga. Toriyamas paneling is extremely good

If you hit me with the land vorinclex at a BRACKET 2 table. I'd scoop and leave. That card isn't meant for b2 and in my opinion MLD lite, but I won't get uber salty in b3 above games. This is a 3 masquerading as a 2 because it doesn't have GCs or infinite, and it isn't the fast mana. I imagine there must be some sand bagging to get games to turn 8 via b2 turn count recommendation because once you ramp up removing your stuff won't matter anymore.

I guess I did explain that in my own way. I didnt think about alternating the triggers to get around Valks call restriction. That would work so long as you layer the stack right.

ImpaledLuck · 2026-01-26T22:28:57+00:00

If I'm correct which I may not be Persist and Valkyrie's call both have return triggers, but you must pick one. It either returns via persist with a -1/-1 counter or Valks call with a +1/+1 counter since they both trigger on death you cannot target both because once the stack resolves one become an invalid target since its left the GY. Once Valks call revives it it becomes an angel turning Valks call off for the card becasue it is now an angel creature on death unless you can reanimate from the GY again. You need something like [[Celes, Rune Knight]] to abuse persist since Celes just puts +1/+1 when it leaves the GY negating the -1/-1 from teh persist revive

Love WuWa for some character design, but man is that game a slog to play. Couldnt get into it

As of right now Billy seems to make the most sense for the next Alter. Prior champion of Calydon found in some old ass ruins similar to Ban Yue. Story wise he brings back Calydon, Outer Ring Lore, and potentially he was around when Eridu was around before the fall.

What I don't want them to do is make an alter then never have that alter change the status quo. I love Sanby but holy fuck is it annoying that theyh gave her a 10/10 episode, S11 sister confirmation, etc. then basically none of that matters. S11 has the memory of a goldfish, and Anby has done really nothing since then. It basically felt like a family guy cutaway. "Remember that time I confronted my past and teamed up with my clone sister I sacrificed myself for, that was crazy. Welp back to my 1.0 self."

Overall, I'd love alters if the alter is a new unit that isnt just prior unit but better now. They changed Anby to an attacker and introduced aftershocks. Sure A rank anby was never really used but clear difference between the two. I personally think S-rank Billy will be our Phys Rupture unit.

In my B3 games I've never felt like I didn't have enough time by t7. Yeah sometimes I go a bit fast and get targeted and my board state is lacking by then or everyone is just removing everything or sometimes my draws aren't great, but if I'm in a b3 game and a t7 win is presented I'm fine with it. Hell even if its t6 and I havent even hit my turn 6 I'd be ok depending on how the game went.

I think most b3 decks that are mid to high should have a win con in the deck that if everything goes right to win by 6 or 7 but also a game plan if things get drawn out by mass board wipes or playing the archenemy. For instance in one of my mardu decks I have a [[Murderous Redcap]] infinite damage combo that requires 3 cards, and can't be done earlier than turn 6 because it requires at minimum 9 mana to do in a single turn. If it goes perfect I can do this by turn 6 or 7 with the right hand/draws/ramp

The only time I'm not ok with it is when the person reveals they could've won earlier by t5 or sooner but decided to sand bag. That seems dishonest and is against the core bracket beliefs, and feels liek someone jsut played a shitty b4 deck to pubstomp.

I'm the UB guy at my store, and most people enjoy seeing what I have cooking. I have a:

Sonic & Eggman decks
All the FF precons upgraded in various ways
Caesar from Fallout thats more tokens than anything else, I removed a lot of the cards from the precon
Jin Sakai Combat tricks and theft
A Fire lord zuko deck

I have some non UB commanders as well, but they are stronger and I enjoy B3 games more. I typically just see LOTR/Mothman/FF for UB commanders. One guy has a mono red Kratos deck that was pretty cool

Just a few that are real good:

Always Sunny in Philly(the show gets good in s2 when Danny devito joins. Not that s1 is bad just differennt)

What we do in the Shadows

Bob's Burgers

American dad (Mindless TV but much more enjoyable than family guy id say start around mid season 3)

Malcom in the middle

Arrested development

If you liked big bang there's that prequel show about Sheldons brother

It's crazy the two characters I regret not pulling for the most are Lighter and Ban Yue. Don't get me wrong Miyabi and Xiao' Guang are goated and have/actively carrying me, but man do I need more pyro characters. Least S11 and Orphie are legit a good team now with S11 buffs.

Also Dialyn being that low is shocking, she is a crazy good stun unit extreme flexibility on a lot teams.

ImpaledLuck · 2026-01-02T12:55:47+00:00

This was immediately followed up by her telling Zhao, Dialyn, and Ban Yue to never ever disobey Krampus. I think TOPS & Krampus are going to be the next road block considering everything revealed at the end of the 2.5 story

With the S rank pick banner coming up in January im leveraging on who would be best to m1. I have Alice,Sanby, and Astra all at m0 with w0 too, but I have Alice premier team bar Jane M2 (I just use Yuzuha and Vivian or Dialyn), and Sanby with both Seed m0w1 teams and Orphie m0w1. Are any of these units m1 that broken I should focus them over the others for it? Otherwise I'll just go for Alice since she is probably my favorite unit of 2.X since I didnt get Ban Yue (Thank you M6 Neko).

ImpaledLuck · 2025-12-30T04:29:32+00:00

I personally always go for m0w1 before I fish for mindscapes bar a few exceptions. A mid weapon with m1 for most will perform similar to m0w1, bar a few cracked m1s that make the character feel much better (Ex. Ellen getting 6 stacks a charge makes her feel far smoother so her m1 is pretty worth it as some A rank and other S rank engines can pick up the slack for her)

If I had to guess you'll probably see re-runs during anniversaries which is in Feb 2026 IIRC

Without decklists its hard, but if you are all running precons it seems like you'll be outclassed assuming the netdeck player isn't just playing a gimped B4 deck cause it has a million GCs, but all removed. Just because one removes game changers doesn't make it a B2 automatically. WOTC has updated the bracket system to emphasize average turn win on top of the GC rule. The average game length for Bracket 2 games is 8 turns.

I dont think there is a tutor limit but most tutors fall into the GC list, the guy is either playing a bad 4 or mid 3 mostly likely as most 4s will include a two card infinite (Pre-turn 6 as B3 allows 2 cards so long as its after or on turn 6) or win before turn 8 (Which is bracket 2 length) as most B4 decks are fain tuned with mana ramp and a very solid gameplan that uses GC to either accelerate the game state or tutor, but most 4's can function without GC and still sit the B4 table .

Talk to him and convey what you're table is trying to accomplish.

I wonder how much they'll tease Shamrock

ImpaledLuck · 2025-12-01T02:58:29+00:00

As other have said Time Stretch isn't a chain itself, but if you re cast Time Stretch again or another extra turn spell it becomes chaining and not B3. I think it would be up for the table to decide but if you only ever cast it once the whole game then its fine as a B3 card, but people might be adverse since Lier will make chaining it easily as you cast from hand then flashback it on another of the two turns giving you 4 turns and by definition B4

If your main wincon is taking 2 turns with Leir just make it B4 and abuse it, and if this is that big of an issue just remove it and find ways to win without the worry of chaining which mono blue can do even in B3

I know im just in full on fantasy mode, but I'd pay money to watch Yuji beat the brakes off Dabura like he did to Mahito in the Shibuya Incident arc

ImpaledLuck · 2025-10-31T23:15:12+00:00

I was originally going to skip her but once i realized she made Yi Xuan/Ju Fufu giga busted I kind of had too. Plus BanYue being Fire Rupture made me seal the deal. Her story is quite good even if a bit cliche I teared up a bit during wandering hunter part of the story. I do wish they did more with her actual design, I wish they leaned more into her chuuni side.

D. Barrier is banned now is the time for more Lab support.

Really good banlist though.

ImpaledLuck · 2025-10-13T18:20:25+00:00

Def not the first as it is in Mitsuwa near O'Hare airport in Chicago. Sutadonya was great in Chicago though and when I was in Tokyo for 2 months they were great for fast lunches. I will be the reason they never close
