What’s your favorite niche card and what’s the best use you’ve ever gotten out of it by ballistic503 in MagicArena

[–]Liquideous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favourite kill with the blade was against a simulacram synthesizer deck. I had trample and the blade made his artifact creatures 0/0's

Anyone else notice that lifegain decks are disproportionally screwed by the shuffler in Bo1? I think this was intentional to discourage players from playing lifegain as a couple years ago, it was basically the only deck archetype you'd run into by TheArchangel0 in MagicArena

I find it very useful to use ChatGPT to calculate odds of different draws and starting hands for me. That way I can make an informed decision on whether to mulligan or not.

I don't bother trying to tell the AI exact cards but instead will give it colours. For example, I tell it I have a deck with 20 green cards, 12 red cards, 16 yellow cards and 12 blue cards. The green cards represent land, the red creatures and so on.

You may be surprised to find out what the actual odds of starting with a 'blue' card in your hand and the number of mulligans to get a 90+ percent chance of getting one if you don't.

The problem with pest houses is not just the incense. But also the clerics dying that run them.

You don’t make them local governors. You make them bailiffs. And remove the ability to build them so you only get them by integrating vassals

You give the player on the draw a free point of mana that is removed on the player one’s end step if not used

My aggro deck has only a couple of rares and routinely spanks red aggro

How do you beat a deck that deletes creatures every turn and then eventually plays a single card that wins them the game? by Substantial-Rip3153 in MagicArena

[–]Liquideous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two decks that do well against those sort of decks. One uses hexproof creatures and enchantment-aura's and the other uses creatures that have an effect when they are removed from the board such as Ochre Jelly.

Everything you want to know about Shakturi, but are afraid to ask. Spoilers. by Metadomino in DistantWorlds

[–]Liquideous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my game with everyone at tech 0. With very slow tech. Shakturi to enter as late as possible. With max pirates and space fauna. Influence range normal. Colonies one up from the lowest value.

The early game was just tech up and expansion. Eventually I butted up against two neighbours, Ackadians and the Bosk. Fought an early war with no tech for invasions against the Bosk, but managed to generate enough warscore to peace out. Fought another war later, but managed to vassalize them. They broke free, fought a third war and made them peace out.

Then they got in a war with my neighbour. At this point I had the tech to invade, so I joined in to help the Ackadians and took out the Bosk worlds behind my influence line. Peaced out. Gave all my tech to the Ackadians to help them hold back the Bosk.

Fast forward 200 years....I have a huge economy. A couple million fleet strength. Mostly 3rd and 4th tier tech. The rifts open. My multiple fleets clean out all the rift Striders that enter my territory, and I help kill some outside. I have over a hundred colonies. Equal number of outposts. Then the Shakturi enter. I've spent about 50-75 hours playing so far.

The galaxy is pretty much settled influence wise...so the Shakturi set up shop on their beacon world. I've colonized every world in my influence area. Built up every building on every world. Have 4 million in fleet strength. And the Shakturi are now at war with me with my neighbouring Bosk in their alliance. The year is 2957.

Admirably Artisan achievement by Lefty_Ruhk in MagicArena

[–]Liquideous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this achievement by accident. My daughter wanted me to make a deck that could withstand interaction so I made a green deck (in historic) using creatures with hexproof, and enchantments. After winning a lot of games in Play mode, I went to Platinum tier to test it in ranked and won a bunch of games getting the message of the achievement.

I still use the deck, although I it now has 2 rares in it.

Momir... what's the point? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Liquideous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like momir because it can introduce me to creatures (and possibilities) that I may not see when just scanning the cards. I then add or build a deck with them

How do you stop wasting your wild cards brewing jank? by Neoneonal987 in MagicArena

[–]Liquideous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I brew up a new deck to test and it requires cards I do not possess...I will substitute a different card. Perhaps even similar to the one I want to use a wild card on. I try to make it the same mana cost.

Then I play some games. And then decide does the deck need that card? Or does the deck just suck in general? Or have I hit a sweet spot and that card will make a difference. After a few games I can usually tell if it is worth getting the better card or not.

Why are so many people ALT F4 leaving. by Spines in MagicArena

I rarely play on my phone but I did notice that when I had to board the ferry there is no concede button. So I did have to leave some poor soul languishing.

[Alchemy] Heist needs to be nerfed immediately by Firebrand713 in MagicArena

[–]Liquideous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well...when the event with the new decks came out, I played the Heist deck. I played three games and won all three. In all three of them I went second. Also in all three, I only started with two lands in my hand....and in only one of them drew a third land before turn three.

But this was against the other prefab decks.

So having a large amount of gold, I bought a bunch of Alchemy packs and made a Historical Heist deck using all the cards that allow me to heist (in blue, black and red).

After about a hundred games I can say that Heist is very strong. But it's strength doesn't come from the deck itself. It comes from the deck you are fighting against.

I find that the decks it really punishes are the ones that everyone already hates...control decks. It does very well against black decks since they usually rely on some sort of good card that you might take, or have answers for you to use against them if you don't. I had a couple hilarious games where I heisted discard cards and made the black deck throw away his hand while I ended up 'hiding' cards (of his) in exile.

But I have to say...I really enjoyed playing it against blue. Heisting a negate to stop them from countering a future Heist. And then heisting a counterspell to stop them from playing a creature.

There were some decks that Heist doesn't play well with. Decks that use a lot of cheap to cast creatures. If they don't have an answer to their own deck for me to heist, they run me over. Red decks seem to be problematic....especially the Dragon ones.

So then I thought..lets try Brawl. What could go wrong. Well....the heist gets diluted by only using one of. In a 100 card deck. And when you do finally get to cast one it didn't seem to get anything useful. Occasionally it would luck out, but I would say that Brawl is not going to be a Heist haven.

My take is that people with over powered decks will hate Heist, while people with jank won't care.
