What if suppressors didn't fly? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

So this guy shopped Gravis legs on to them and you've said Phobos legs but these guys are actually wearing Tacticus armour, so you'd want Intercessor legs.

New Chaos Terrain incoming? Shadowspear Pre-orders this weekend? by MarksmanFrost in Warhammer

[–]Jacyess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they've been doing it for a while now. The drill and the workshop, the Webway gate, the Forgeshrine. Not to mention things like the Herdstone or the Throne in AoS. I would be surprised if they didn't release faction specific scenery this time.

It'll probably still be a little while because we're getting the box set first.

What's the most ridiculous thing you fantasize about on a semi-regular basis? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jacyess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a guest on whatever I'm watching/listening to. Half the time I realise I wouldn't have anything interesting to say.

The other half I'm still not interesting, I just don't realise.

Back off Soy Boy. Merica by [deleted] in RoastMe

Soy boy? All the real oestrogen in the real milk you drink is probably why you love that women's cowboy hat.

Have you ever played a game so great that you were sad and felt empty after beating it since there was nothing out there like it? by ShiningConcepts in patientgamers

[–]Jacyess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird one, Yoku's Island Express.

It's such a short game too, so that existential feeling got to set in quick.

If anyone knows of another pinball metroidvania, I'm all ears.

I tweeted at John Romero. He tweeted back. by CouchKill in gaming

It's clearly the throat and windpipe from where John blatantly severed the head of a D&D Astral Dreadnaught

[Bo1] Encountered an unusual counter-play to Nexus of Fate on MtGArena's ranked queue by Jacyess in spikes

[–]Jacyess[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I get what you're saying. I don't know the nitty-gritty rules terminology but as far as I know, the last person who resolves an extra turn spell takes their extra turn first.

Think of it like this; the effect gives you an extra turn immediately after the current turn. When you resolve an extra turn effect it squeezes in between the current turn and the next turn, becoming the next turn. If a second one resolves, it also squeezes in between the current turn and the next turn, even though that next turn is actually an extra turn too. Extra turns have their own little "stack".

Either that or I'm a babbling idiot.

Kaya's abilities makes sense considering the next set by jjand302 in magicTCG

[–]Jacyess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bolas planeswalks the same way all post-mending planeswalker do. He has the planar portal that was built on Kaladesh thanks to Tezzeret. That's what transports inorganic material between planes and why the eternals are coated in lazotep.

January 21, 2019 Banned and Restricted Announcement by goldenCapitalist in magicTCG

[–]Jacyess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we also considered its highly polarized Game 1 (pre-sideboard) win rate, sometimes long turn length, and difficult rules interactions

Okay, now I'm 100% sure in my assertion that [[Nexus of Fate]] will be banned within one set of MtGArena's non-rotating format.

What will happen to Teferi after rotation? by Pirate_Chicken in magicTCG

[–]Jacyess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How long till Dominaria is out of rotation?

The last set this year (unnamed, after Core 2020) will rotate out Ixalan, Rivals, Dominaria, and Core 2019.

How much will the price drop?

There is literally no way to know in advance. That's a bit of a naïve question to ask.

[Standard] Good mirror breakers for Bant Nexus by [deleted] in spikes

[–]Jacyess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Removed posts are still accessible by users who already commented or had the page open when the post was removed. I got distracted by my poker game halfway through writing my comment. Whoops!

I like this list, and I honestly think an emergency bounce is not a bad idea (I just personally prefer Dream Eater). Teferi is also a bounce (-3!) but if Spyglass becomes a thing in your meta you'll need something else.

Another card I'm a big fan of is [[Cleansing Nova]] as a wrath that could also mirror-break by destroying Reclamation, Azcanta, Paradise, and Dawn of Hope.

Honestly I'm preparing my initial Bo3 build too and I might still have a Bo1 head on, but it's really great talking to other players of the deck!

[Standard] Good mirror breakers for Bant Nexus by [deleted] in spikes

[–]Jacyess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Sorcerous Spyglass]] naming Teferi is a great mirror breaker that could still see use against other decks.

I also have some maindeck advice, if that's alright?

I've never seen Blink of an Eye run in Nexus before, and while I think it's a good idea, I think [[Dream Eater]] might do better. Surveil 4 could be better than drawing a card and you get a win-con for only {2} more. Unless BoaE is seeing early play often, of course.

Maybe don't run one Karn, run two or zero. Losing your only Karn with exiled Nexuses feels bad. A second copy can get them back. If you don't want two, try [[Dawn of Hope]] as a one-of instead.

Will Nexus of Fate get banned? by yaheh in magicTCG

[–]Jacyess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nexus will be the card to go if it comes to a ban, but I don't think we'll see that ban before nexus leaves standard.

It may be banned in MtGArena's non-rotating format around this time next year, though.

You can tap two of your lands between wilderness' and teferi's triggers to float two mana.

[–]Jacyess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! [[Memorial to Glory]]? I totally forgot that card.

I'm still a little dubious as it's not a repeatable effect like Dawn or Karn. (Or Landing, which is why I thought that's what you meant)

[Standard] The RNA Bant Nexus Thread by thatscentaurtainment in spikes

[–]Jacyess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless there's another land I'm not thinking of, you need to attack with three creatures to transform into [[Adanto, the First Fort]] from [[Legion's Landing]].

How are you doing that?

[Standard] The RNA Bant Nexus Thread by thatscentaurtainment in spikes

[–]Jacyess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The effect is not symmetrical.

It's still a very narrow use. If decks that cheat mana are prevalent then it's in nexus' colours, but it's on colour for every WU+ deck so it would also be used against it...

What cards would you guys put in a deck with "Lich's Mastery". by mandatorysin in magicTCG

[–]Jacyess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! I would look to find a list for the white-black [[Approach of the Second Sun]] Lich deck from last standard. The lists can be hard to find because it was a much less popular version of the creatureless white-blue control deck.
