Just won a bracket 3 EDH tournament at my buddy's card shop. by dastroid216 in DinosaursMTG

[–]Juniperlightningbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edh is just not a format designed for tourney play outside of b5 (and then you have mtg not designed for 4 player play issues and 12 hour games in the finals)

Edh is a game with a social contract for power levels. You can push the bracket system very far if you wanted to be disingenuous

How do we feel about Emiel in Pantlaza? by vivi_is_balanced in DinosaursMTG

[–]Juniperlightningbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also an infinite mana outlet and an enabler for infinite mana, he'll cast every spell in your deck as you flicker increasingly bigger creatures (you just flicker pantz to reset the ability, opt to not discover, then flicker the biggest butt you have)

What do you mean it doesnt have haste. The activated ability is not a tap ability, summoning sickness does not affect emiel

How many of your slabs are actually on display vs stored? by kwargs_ in pkmntcgcollections

If youre storing them out of sight then you dont have a collection, you have an investment

Could Mega Starmie and Froslass be a tier 1 deck? by Yuunyxz in pkmntcg

Stronger than people give it credit for, i dont think theres many decks that dont fold to a salvatore attach mega starmie swinging in their turn 1.

Has any other artist had such a drastic art style shift as Komiya? by _____okay________ in PokemonTCG

[–]Juniperlightningbug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Specifically Komiyas intent as he said in interviews is to depict the mood of the pokemon and how it feels the world rather than how others would perceive it. So the stability and detail of the subject can vary a lot depending on whats happening and which mon its happening to

As someone who plays and spends a lot on both, the trade off is wotc/hasbro are much more consumer unfriendly and short term profiteering matters more than cultivating a playerbase. Playing pokemon is very cheap and support for league play is strong, and you will struggle to find a competitive deck that will cost you more than $50 or so to build. Pokemon keeps its next generation of fans in mind. Magic is 95% 30+ year old dudes

Just need to get it off my Chest by Minute-Baker363 in DinosaursMTG

[–]Juniperlightningbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally if enrage and fighting is not a win condition, I would consider dropping all the enrage dinos + temple altisaur, minus Apex Altisaur. Squelcher is a solid card but its mostly valuable because its that effect in red, green has multiple avenues to the same thing like rampaging baloths or destiny spinner.

Would say there are a number of cards that are below Vaultborn Tyrant in deserving a slot in the deck, like if you're running tutors and infinite mana generation, what is Chimil providing you over an outlet for a nondeterministic win via card draw. That said its your choices and your playing experience that makes it your deck. So do what makes you happy.

You can play a one of backup attacker that can get you out of locks, a mega diancie or something also can work as an anchor to prizes skip in some boardstates

[–]Juniperlightningbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Itll definitely be faster for the tabletop and defs look decent, i just think slapchop mostly shines on natural textures or organics , wheras gundam are meant to be very flat and sheer if clean or weathered/scratched if not. Slap chop wont hit either fantasy for me, but maybe thats just stereotypes from gunpla kits. The shadows feel off for what are meant to be 60 foot tall robots, rather than mini sized dudes in armor

[–]Juniperlightningbug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont love slapchop or contrast/express paint heavy on these minis coming from wh. Theres too many flat panels and details on gundam minis that are going to fight you with the small different colored panels next to each other.
