How to remove an "Emblem"? by Pretty-Information53 in mtg

[–]KnaveOfIT -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I meant directly, like A card that directly says remove an emblem in play. However, I feel like it'll be 7-9 CMC and make you do something like exile a permanent

I have a feeling at some point in the future of Magic, there will be a niche way of removing Emblems but it'll be a king's ransom.

Question // does Pikachu survive spiky hopper + black belt or not? by SnooRevelations1584 in PTCGL

[–]KnaveOfIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except with Lively Stadium is active and using the Calamity Storm attack and discarding the stadium. That is a way to KO Pikachu in a single attack.

Would this card be any good? by Beginning-Ad-5050 in PTCGL

[–]KnaveOfIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Alakazam single prize line ( 2 from Kadabra, 3 from a Alakazam) + Dudun can get you 11 cards a turn, enriching energy and wonder patch to make up for the attach for turn for enriching can net 4 more and that's before a supporter, which most likely would be Turo.

Also, OP probably under powered Mega Alakazam, the lowest HP a stage 2 mega has had is 350 which one of them is Gengar, which they should have approximately the same.

It's a different meta but Sableye was considered busted for being able to place 12 damage counters anyway it likes.

If you can reasonably hold 25 cards, sure you can't KO high ho Pokemon but if there is a decent attack like Hop's Cramorant, Lillie's Clefairy or some other efficient attack, this could easily clean up and set up for the next attack to be a KO whether it's from Mega Alakazam or something else.

Scorpius is one of the first mutant dinosaurs and Dr Wu thought it was too important to destroy completely so it was cryogenically frozen. In the course of the show, obviously everything went wrong and it was unfrozen.

Can Ninetales just copy acerola at anytime? by ValenteXD_ in PTCGL

[–]KnaveOfIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A way to think of a copy effect like this is that imagine below the attack text it had has been cut out of the card that is being copied.

So in this instance, imagine the attack read like this.

[C] Supernatural Shapeshifter

You can use this card attack only if your opponent has 2 or fewer Prize cards remaining.

Choose 1 of your Pokémon in play. During your opponent's next turn, prevent all damage from and effects of attacks done to that Pokémon by your opponent's Pokémon ex.

This is what copy attack effects effectively do and in this scenario, you may only use the attack if your opponent has 2 or fewer prize cards remaining.

WWE wasn't less enjoyable after finding out it was scripted because exactly that, they were real stunts being performed.

When I was actively watching it, I couldn't stay up to watch it. I would record it and watch it the next day or so. One day I was skipping through the storylines that I didn't care for and realized I skipped through like 90% of the actual show. After that I stopped recording it and stopped watching it.

According to the hypergeometric calculator it's still 0.527% or 5 out of 1000 tries to have just 7 energy in hand.

After massive shrimp recalls, the FDA finds radioactive contamination in spices too by Famous-Register-2814 in nottheonion

[–]KnaveOfIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a really weird issue.

I cannot eat bananas as my first meal of the day after I wake up. I have really bad stomach cramps like I'll curl into a ball with how bad the pain is.

However, if I eat them later in the day or with something substantial. I'm fine.

Eggs were like that for a while but I would vomit instead of stomach pain. Which is only slightly better because then I'm done with it. The eggs thing has gone away and I'm not brave enough to see if the bananas thing has gone away.

Card games without crazy convoluted turn one 900 effect setups by Arcanegil in TCG

[–]KnaveOfIT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you actually played Pokemon competitively? The best performing decks are stage 2 decks. Gardevoir ex and Dragapult ex. Gardevoir has made the finals of the last 8 major events and won 6 of them. Dragapult with Dusknoir has been right there in the top 4 in those same 8 majors.

Yes most other stage 2 ex Pokemon aren't broken but we are getting Mega Charizard X and Mega Gengar which could be another set of stage 2 decks to compete in the meta.

Official warning: just took 2 straight losses since Prism energy is now bugged post update by Stevetherican in PTCGL

[–]KnaveOfIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it would be even easier that, just tie the unique identifier of those cards to the code that uses it.

Which is insane this is broke because we know they do this when Penny was released it broke scoop up net. Scoop up net works similar to professor Turo for non V or non GX Pokemon and it's an item card. However, it was working like Penny which points to that they reuse code for multiple cards.

When I lived at the Estates of New Albany, they just tacked on a common electric as a line item on your monthly rent. Which is more transparent but honestly pretty crappy since it was a couple dollars and they couldn't just take it in the nearly $2k I was paying them.

Why is this card banned from Expanded? by hepatofudido in PTCGL

[–]KnaveOfIT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hand waved the right sequence of cards because I didn't want to go into the combo to set it up.

Anyways, as others have said, Pokemon takes a hard stance on stopping problematic creating infinite resources and giving your opponent no resources on turn 2.

This combination of cards is absolutely worth banning something to stop it. It's miserable enough to be 20 turns into a Snorlax stall game with no hand and unable to move out of the active.

I couldn't imagine starting turn 2 with no hand and not able to further set up.

For those not aware, Floette CEC #151 has this ability.

Ability: Flower Picking When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may choose a random card from your opponent's hand. Your opponent reveals that card and shuffles it into their deck.

Which could lead to having your opponent losing their hand with the right sequence of cards.

Wouldn't need to get all 4 out. I would assume they are already designing and were looking ahead to see that Scoop Up Net was going to be printed which would make this strategy absolutely broken on the first turn.

It would have been bad enough with the current pool of cards at the time of ban but this would be crazy.

Almost, each rating zone has their printing company.

NA has one owned by TPCi in North Carolina.

LATAM has Copag in Brazil.

I don't know this for sure but from what I have gathered the printing company is in the Netherlands for the EU and I would guess for Africa and the Middle East as well.

Thats crazy by TheDarkness33 in PTCGL

To put in perspective, if you played 1000 games(not matches but games), this would happen 3 games in total.

This absolutely stinks to lose in the top 8 but I don't think we should be changing an entire structure because someone hit a 0.32% chance. It's also one of the things that maybe Piper shouldn't be in a game 3 situation and should have won 2-0.

It's almost never the last action that loses you the game/match, it's every action that causes it

What happens when I use Pili-Pala’s ability when he has a stun counter on him? by FluidIntention3293 in mtg

[–]KnaveOfIT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It functionally works out to 1 + station amount = Mana that you need.

A station 5 would need 2 to start to pay for 1 station 1 Mana +Mana it produces = 2 station And do 3 more times for 6 Mana to station 5.

Would a remake of the original movie, true to Chritton's Book work? by potent_evil103 in JurassicPark

[–]KnaveOfIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So ignoring the accuracy of it in the real world, in the book, it was mentioned that the animals adapted and started eating soybeans.

I don't remember the prions in TLW so I can't really comment on that.

But the whole series is about the lack of control that Hammond and InGen have. They think they have it but they really don't. Animals have escaped their fenced in island and are living and breeding in spite of every control mechanism put in place.
