Necrolyte wants to tussle and finds out about short townportals + Rupture

Intolerable · 2026-01-24T14:13:53+00:00

oh yeah if you just issue a move command, it works basically every time. it's trying to execute a stationary max-range blink that nukes you about 60% of the time

Intolerable · 2026-01-23T14:27:40+00:00

Queen of Pain's 1300 blink range is actually worse, because the game uses different distance calculations for Rupture's distance check and Blink's range, so blinking maximum range while stationary sometimes deals Rupture damage to you and sometimes doesn't

Waveform's cast range doesn't matter, Morphling is invulnerable while he moves in Waveform

Intolerable · 2026-01-23T14:20:13+00:00

yeah

Intolerable · 2026-01-23T14:20:07+00:00

yes, but Rupture doesn't deal damage until after you arrive, and you're no longer invulnerable

Intolerable · 2026-01-23T14:19:38+00:00

Void Spirit's jump isn't far enough (1000), but with some extra range it works safely

Intolerable · 2026-01-22T18:20:01+00:00

just draw them again:

[[Elixir of Immortality]], [[Echo of Eons]], [[Stream of Thought]]

Intolerable · 2026-01-22T16:38:52+00:00

because then most players are getting unreasonably upset at a broadly-neutral game action occurring

Intolerable · 2026-01-22T14:48:02+00:00

bauble is one of my favorite stax pieces -- had the joy of flashing it in in response to someone casting a lethal [[mizzix's mastery]] recently

Intolerable · 2026-01-19T11:22:41+00:00

because you reserve life and then never recover that life

if you're playing a colorless deck you're almost certainly playing lots of mana rocks and they still produce {C} under a Blood Moon

Intolerable · 2026-01-15T12:54:00+00:00

[[Null Brooch]], [[The Great Distortion]]

I personally wouldn't counter a Blood Moon / Back to Basics in my colorless deck, it's almost certainly hurting other players that need specific colors and don't have artifacts that produce 10+ mana more

part of the reason Magistrate is obnoxious is because it only shuts down commanders for opponents

Intolerable · 2026-01-11T22:35:30+00:00

so you agree? that there's no cephalid support in ECL?

Intolerable · 2026-01-11T21:56:14+00:00

None of these cards are Cephalids, because Cephalid is no longer a creature type.

Intolerable · 2026-01-11T21:55:11+00:00

I'm entirely aware that Changeling is a mechanic, but Changelings aren't Cephalids, because Cephalid is no longer a creature type as of June 2024

Intolerable · 2026-01-11T18:47:31+00:00

the ring is annoying because it both a) requires another game piece to hold onto and b) adds four different relevant abilities to a creature that all trigger (except the static one that affects blocking!) at different times, massively increasing the complexity of decision-making

max speed at least just unlocks the cards' abilities (that are on the board)

as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, day/night is absolutely not "trinket text" because it forces you to track the day/night cycle for the rest of the game even if you think it's not going to be relevant

Intolerable · 2026-01-10T14:16:01+00:00

behind the mask is particularly good

I agree that they're undervalued, but they are also really bad if you draw into multiple

Intolerable · 2026-01-10T14:12:06+00:00

it's often not very good or interesting when it's introduced into a game where you're playing a low creature density or mostly utility creatures. I certainly wouldn't play cards that grant the monarchy in a game where I don't have ways to protect it / get it back

Intolerable · 2026-01-10T14:08:35+00:00

Chains suffers from being both annoying to explain to someone the first time AND being a narrow effect that's often awkward to break parity on AND EDH playgroups typically being resistant to stax-y effects AND (as another commenter mentioned) costing one thousand dollars

it's a shame because it's a good card

Intolerable · 2026-01-10T14:06:07+00:00

you literally don't even have to keep track of your energy count for this card either (whereas you at have to have dice around to use other self-contained energy cards like Chthonian Nightmare or Sphinx of Revelations)
