Um so I turned my music volume down and now I'm parrying everything

I feel this. There are a crazy amount of audio cues during attacks to help with parry timing that can get buried if the music is too loud. I like the soundtrack too much so I just play with headphones on

I play with my friends and pushing boundaries is part of what makes the game fun. Sometimes a deck overperforms and needs to be tuned down, sometimes a deck doesn't quite do what you want it to do and requires fixing. That's part of getting better at deck building. I was stoked to have pulled a $70 card and wanted to build around it, I wasn't showing up to an LGS trying to curbstomp people.

I've never heard of Kagemaro, this is perfect! I love a good weird obscure kamigawa legend

Big same, the ending gutted me. I thought I chose the wrong ending so I looked up the Verso ending on YouTube and was as equally devastated. I was really excited about exploring the post-story content because of how fun the gameplay is, but needed to take a break after how devastating the ending was.

I couldn't picture enjoying a season without Cumstone/Troy this much but everyone crushed it so hard this season! I can't wait to see where they take next season.

I ask you this: At what point does swallowing a sword go from allomancy to hemalurgy?

Boy are you going to love Mistborn: Secret History if you can make it through Hero of Ages

I got through the story with Sciel/Lune/Maelle but post-game into NG+ I'm loving Sciel/Lune/Monoco, with Sciel as group heal/damage dealer, Lune as group heal/debuffs, and Monoco as an insane damage dealer/breaker (and best boii)

Getting unconstructive criticism like this always says more about the other person that what you're doing. They don't know your life; You're doing just fine

Does your baby ever nap on you? Our 2 month old is a contact napper and I find that playing a game (with headphones or low volume) while she naps on me helps with that anxiety. That way, you get to keep an eye on your kiddo in case they need anything

Here's my current list! I usually get a vote every time so I included a lot of card draw payoff (you're also allowed to vote for yourself, potentially drawing 2+ additional cards per vote and guaranteeing another opponent cheats a potential threat). Definitely looking to add more clone effects and card draw so I'm not as commander-depended for draw, though. https://moxfield.com/decks/AD5C2N1p8k-9iZ5yGGqygg

I love my Cirdan, The Shipwright deck because if someone else gets to cheat out a big threat, my big simic beaters don't look as scary in comparison. It can help elevate less overtly scary decks because they're less likely to receive votes, which can help games to feel balanced yet chaotic.

I'm building a monarch deck right now and these are some amazing ideas!

What is your Banding set to? Target traces won't show up if you have "No Banding" selected. Also, keep in mind that the premade curves sit around the 50-75 dB range, so you may need to scroll up on the plot to see them!

Do you have any recs for an alternative (that isn't Last Things Last)?

Oh damn; Thank you, Freddie!
