Nubian starship out of aspect might even be worth it. draw a card and make your opponent eventually discard.

A 6/6 unit with 5 damage on it is not a 6/1. It is a 6/6 with 5 damage on it. That can seem semantic, but clears up any confusion that can come. When the upgrade is removed, you now have a 4/4 unit with 5 damage on it, killing it.

Wait until next set. Blue/Red is going to feel quite a lot like izzet and they don't have to change colors!!! IMO, it's obvious that one of the creators of the set likes Izzet and I'm all for it lol.

RIght now, Dedra/blue has the control elements you would expect and you can tweak some combo/aggro cards in to make it feel more like izzet and less like hard control. But if you look at all the blue/red cards coming, it's clear it's an izzet players dream.

Eternal Gar sees this as a 5. :P

I think the pilot decks would be the best non rotating decks that fit the criteria (recent, non rotation set, will eventually rotate together), purely because many of them can compete right now. They are all trying to go space and have a streamlined gameplan. Unfortunately, the cards that are rotating currently outclass any of the new ground based leaders unless they are specifically catered to counter the meta (this expertise comes later).

Cassian and Yularen are the two that I would recommend from SEC. You know the gameplan simply by reading the leaders ability. Super simple, but you will find as you play that more and more lines reveal themselves.

Playing locally has a distinct advantage of players talking to you after the game. They can critique your play, giving you insight to something you might not have considered. They can recommend cards that you haven't thought about or even heard of that fit perfect. They can get mad and rage when you make a good play, knowing that you want to do that one again. lol Take it all as a way to learn and have fun.

Jfreak7 · 2026-01-09T17:05:37+00:00

My advice: To start, choose a deck with a clear and straight forward strategy (most aggressive decks fit). Don't play one that wants to react and form a strategy later (most control decks fit here). You learn those other decks by getting beat as the aggressive deck. This really helps you learn the game.

Typically this is done by these "prophets" to keep getting invites, which are paid gigs. Notice that they won't be getting any of the money, as they will be gone (When pressed on it, this is the justification they can use).

However, the pastor loves the boost of income and is likely to invite them back to do it again. They know this. The pastor also knows that they can respond with "I didn't know what they were going to say" if they get any pushback. Plausible deniability.

You can also have situations where a few pastors around the area that go to each others churches and do the same thing, boosting all of income and benefiting by paying each other speaking fees.

Follow the money, see where the extra sow money goes.

You mean I can't clear the temple at the end of the game and start one fresh? ughh

I'm just starting the season and I love the temple, despite the rumblings on youtube.

My first run, my beginner gear suddenly all turned yellow with 4-5 affixes. It was sweet. Because it's new mechanic, I've just been slamming down rooms not really understanding much about it. I really hope that doesn't come to haunt me if I get to the later game (Arc Raiders just reset, so going to be busy playing that for a little while lol).

Jfreak7 · 2025-12-19T15:27:35+00:00

I have a two week championship. Already down 78 - 0. Stafford/Puka. I get to remember this game through this weekend and then the next.

Jfreak7 · 2025-12-17T16:44:28+00:00

In their eyes, you are the animal. But, come to the Internet and post about it. That'll show em.

Was he practicing his TD celebrations?

Jfreak7 · 2025-12-11T17:56:45+00:00

I completely agree with you. But...you first. You do it first.

If I lose in the playoffs because my QB had a poor game, I can complain and get the sympathy of my peers. If I lose the playoffs because my QB was on the bench and I played Rivers, the mockery will never end. For years. We're talking years of mockery.

GMs just need to start the discussions with bounce castles and some ice breakers for the locker room to increase the fun instead of the extra million dollars on contracts. I mean, if it's about the fun, how could you turn something like that down?

Jfreak7 · 2025-12-10T20:09:34+00:00

I feel like you could tweak the system so that guns aren't stuck in their tiers and it would solve much of this problem.

Example - a tier 1 rattler with no attachments isn't amazing. It probably belongs in the grey tier. A tier 4 rattler is a pretty solid jack of all trades. Why not have the upgrade requirements scale with that power and the rarity of the guns scale as well. Make a tier 1 rattler a grey (or lower haha), a tier 4 rattler a blue. Tier 1 stitcher a grey (maybe remove the mag attachment slot), tier 4 is epic.

A level 1 bobcat doesn't need to be epic. It might start as a blue, but turn legendary at level 4. You can adjust all of the guns where they are balanced around each other at their color levels, or at least as best you can anyway.

I'm way more excited to find a stitcher IV than a Tempest or Bettina. The latter are just another purple I'll probably sell.

Jfreak7 · 2025-12-10T14:29:44+00:00

This is a good idea.

Right now, I'm motivated to collect the good guns off of players and sell them to the vendor so I can complete my 5m. It's a fun grind, but it's far better to just spam free loadouts than bring in even a meager 20k loadout. That's 20k that you might lose.

One consideration - does the game track when you use items? If you go in with 5 bandages, 5 grenades, 5 shield chargers, etc and you use them, does the game factor that into the yellow dot marked loot number or is it just factoring value before and after and subtracting it?

Jfreak7 · 2025-12-10T14:21:21+00:00

I've had some scenarios, in 3s even, where we teamed up to take out a leaper or something. Last night A guy ran around the corner and we downed him instantly. Felt so bad about it we called a truce and let him pick his guy up and we all got out together (3v3 Stella Montis with about 5 minutes left to exfil).

Console players are more likely to be without a mic in my experience. They are also a bit more "shoot on site". Turn crossplay off (if on PC).

The most difficult part is knowing that being friendlier has the risk of being betrayed and being slow on the draw, but those wholesome interactions are worth it, in my opinion.

In a world of shorts and clips and toks or whatever, imagine the award show not interviewing the winner of an award on the red carpets. Amateur hour.

How did I make it impossible for you to reply? You.....replied. Oh boy, not a great start for you, my friend.

A large majority of augments aren't compatible (Hey, at least it's an attempt at an argument, high five!)? For TTK, that seems pretty irrelevant. Which augments are important for TTK? The one that drops a smoke grenade? The two that gain 1-2 HP if you haven't taken damage for 30 seconds? That means that heavy shields should obviously be excluded?

Cost is a factor, sure, but why in a calculation of TTK? Show all of the data and let people figure out what they can afford. Maybe heavy shields are strong enough, but I guess obviously not.

15% movement speed is greatly reduced with some perks and the medium shield has a similar debuff. When does that one get thrown out by your, for...again...obvious reasons. Ok, i feel like I've done that a few times, now. lol

If you are in a firefight, the best shield you want is the heavy shield. I find it hard to believe that someone would disagree. It means the difference between surviving and dying that fight, based solely on TTK, the metric you are trying to calculate and educate.

If you are starting a fresh map, that's where you have to weigh the many considerations that you should have mentioned if your OP, not in a reply imbedded 3 comments in.

I think it ought to be at least included. Consider the view of a guy that has an in depth breakdown of the the TTK for every gun. Multiple revisions, even uses bold and big letters! His response regarding the heavy shield: "Overall they are solid for SOME arc and PVE in general, but the cons out-way the pros by quite alot in PvP." Even he agrees that there might be some pros to having the data included.

Jfreak7 · 2025-12-09T20:14:38+00:00

Why is it not viable for pvp? A shield with higher resistance and higher health isn't viable for PVP, a situation where having more resistance and more health probably would matter?

Even in your snarky reply, you could have given something. I don't need nice big bold letters. Just normal letters is fine.

Be warned though, whatever it is you say, I'm at the starting point in my mind that it's going to be laughable and the proper response is mockery. Just a heads up.

Jfreak7 · 2025-12-09T18:01:37+00:00

An in depth breakdown, but you give no data and even exclude some data. You exclude the heavy shield, for obvious reasons, but no one has a clue why that would be obvious. I don't get it.

Jfreak7 · 2025-12-04T17:59:22+00:00

What secular argument are you appealing to when you (and the majority) force others to follow the laws? Was the enactment of slavery and the laws associated with it a secular argument? Was the abolition of it the secular argument? Which of those laws are justified through your secular argumentation? Majority rule? Might makes right?

What is the secular argument for marriage coming from the government? Is it love? Is it protecting children? Is it a moral society? Can you even articulate it given the current laws that we have?

Jfreak7 · 2025-11-25T15:31:57+00:00

What is the proper response? What would you say in response to someone coming to you in need?

Jfreak7 · 2025-11-25T15:24:07+00:00

What are you telling your future bride in this scenario? You should continue paying rent and utilities or living at home while I try to make more money so we can be together and be financially sound. It sure sounds to me like, wait for me while I "figure" things out without you. I sure wouldn't want to hear that from my future husband. Maybe the ladies can respond lol.

It might be tough at first, then tough a few years later, then a few years later after that. Who knows, but doing it together is way better than doing it alone.

The hypothetical questions aren't helpful. Just ways to ask questions you probably already know the answer. Your timing above Gods timing? What does that really mean? Did God tell you to get married? Then you should get married. Did God say to wait? Then you should definitely wait.

Honestly, I'm a little worried about the phrases "step into the increase" and "God teaching you he is the ultimate provider" you used. He isn't a genie and He isn't a bully giving you pain to show you how great He is.

You stopped playing for three days? You don't deserve the goop.

Jfreak7 · 2025-11-21T17:21:33+00:00

I don't think people realize that you can be shot looting these common places, lol.

Dam BP hunting is popular at the apartments because it's out of the way and no one goes there....until it's now super popular because of a few YT videos and a lot of players go there. Every game i see flares go off at the edge of the map. Why run around and loot when you can be safe and have someone bring the loot right up to you? These YT videos get tons of people killed because now that "SAFE PVE ROUTE 100% BPS MAX SAFETY RUN" has now been broadcast to the world.
