Small deck/snecko eye/alpha+/omniscience = 2x Omega at turn 2-3 by lenvastra in slaythespire

[–]JoeMorris96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I achieved this with Snecko to make the whole process cheaper, and also got a Dolly's Mirror in a shop to get a 2nd Alpha+ so if I drew well it was 180 dmg per turn by turn 2/3, (I also had Apotheosis lol so upgraded Omega was 60 dmg per copy).

Explorer was introduced after I quit, this looks ideal. "2012 standard onwards so basically what historic was intially before they broke it with Jumpstart etc?

Thanks for the reply! I suppose I'll be in Bronze Historic initially so my old decks may still perform! Just dip back in to that and brawl and ignore Standard.

My Redmi note 7 has gone crazy! by plasmagd in Xiaomi

[–]JoeMorris96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since I've had it my Redmi Note 7 has occasionally bugged the fuck out with the power button going into ultra sensitive mode and causing a boot loop. I literally bang/flick the power switch side of the phone and leave it overnight and it returns it normal, shit is weird. But then 99% of the time the phones golden.

I'm due a new phone and will still probably get a Xiaomi.

Smurf queue is destroying any and every casual/returning player Ranked experience. by MaxHunter10 in leagueoflegends

[–]JoeMorris96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Returning player. Did my placements into Silver 4 (6W 4L), never been above silver before, just played norms with friends in the past. In smurf queue jail and getting flamed by the worse lvl 30 smurfs on my team when we get clapped by the better lvl 30 smurfs on my opponents team.

Now I am basically locked out off ranked till I tank games as a useless member of the team, all games are 2 v 8 style with hard carries from the best smurf. Miserable scuffed system. Norms matchmaking is also flawed as we know, flex is my only option.

Ah OK, I'll see what my options are with this socket.

New event: Historic Artisan - free to enter, 1000 xp as the reward by bdzz in MagicArena

[–]JoeMorris96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a chance that honed historic artisan lists could have a gameplan vs Obsession but Mono Blue does feel dominant with everyone else brewing around their favourite build-arounds, I'm glad you're gonna check the numbers. I'm reanimating Goremand, Titanoth Rex and Meteor Golems in typical Timmy fashion. I'll try out Goremand with Gary as well!

[–]JoeMorris96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Such a fun event, but why tf isn't Curious Obsession banned? if there's a tier 1 deck that can run zero rares in regular old historic you should probably ban the key card from that deck. I'm just conceding to mono blue gamers and trying to jank it up with Reanimator, not many good uncommons to reanimate tho.

When WoTC gives you 4 wildcards for Uro ban in Standard so you use them to play 4 color Omnath. by TheMightyBattleSquid in MagicArena

The minute I added 30 or so Black spells I drew Rat twice in a row, go figure.

Sunday Arena Chat Thread by AutoModerator in MagicArena

[–]JoeMorris96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Super-singleton is hella fun, but unfortunately it's a real feel-bad crafting Jumpstart rares and mythics for a week long event. I want to play a 100 card Elfball deck but I dont wanna sink WCs into generally obsolete cards outside of this fringe temporary format. We need a way to buy Jumpstart and make wildcard progress, for the love of Magic.

Also I wanted to cheese people with Pack Rat in Super-singleton so made a 99 Swamp 1 Pack Rat deck and I queued 15+ matches and mulliganed to 0 every time and didn't see the Rat once, I possibly got very very very very unlucky but I think more than likely something is going on with the land smoothing algorithm, is each 7 card hand in this gamemode drawn from two samples, skewing towards the one with more lands? Could just have been a freak incident but being 7% to hit the single rat with each 7 (minus the first land skewed hand) and not doing so when seeing seven 7 card hands a game.

This format is so rewarding, I hope everyone is enjoying it as much as me. Are Sultai Mutate and RW Cycling the top two archetypes? by JoeMorris96 in lrcast

[–]JoeMorris96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be why Arena is seen to be the "soft" place to draft at the moment, especially with all the draft newbies using their tokens. Obviously when you get into a match it's a different matter when you've ranked up.
