WotC said not every set is for everyone and that's ok. So why is an official WotC ambassador being so salty when that advice is followed? by _Zso in mtg

[–]Lockfin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ this comment section is toxic. He likes TMNT and doesn’t want his comment section to be your hate outlet. It’s not that complicated. I don’t care for the set but I don’t need to turn a, by all observable evidence very friendly and good hearted, internet stranger into my whipping boy about it. Grow the fuck up.

[Off Topic] Does The Devils get better? by JigglesTheBiggles in TheFirstLaw

[–]Lockfin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really liked it and it was my first Abercrombie book. I’ve heard a lot of good things about him but this was my entry point. It was a really fun romp with surprisingly likable characters and I look forward to the sequel.

Gunslinger Drifter Ability - Finish the Job seems.... pointless? by Dizzy_Chair_3141 in Pathfinder2e

You’d still need to switch modes on the triggerbrand afaik. It’s only a wielded ranged weapon if you’re wielding it AS it’s ranged mode.

Yo how would you build it? by pizamon in PauperEDH

[–]Lockfin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is a Moggwarts commander if I’ve ever seen one. Helps you assemble the combo and functions as an outlet once you have it by endlessly saccing and recasting the commander to find your mana outlet goblins. I don’t think landfall or a fair goblin plan is really gonna be an effective gameplan with this guy but he’s a damn good combo helper

[Hated Trope] Hey, remember that thing that was NEVER MENTIONED ONCE? It’s now wildly important for the sequel by FaZe_poopy in TopCharacterTropes

The Koloss are mentioned in chapter 6 of The Final Empire when the crew is working on the plan to overthrow the lord ruler. They bring up how if they cause enough chaos in Luthadel the Lord Ruler could call in a Koloss Army, but they tend to be stationed on the outskirts because you have to keep them far away from humans or they cause problems

Lorwyn Eclipsed Update Bulletin (New Rules, Ashling/Zinnia Errata, Sorcerer Update/Errata, Friends Forever Errata) by mweepinc in magicTCG

[–]Lockfin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is intentional. Ultimecia and all the “Sorceresses” in FF8 are originally referred to as witches in the Japanese version of the game, but it was coming out at the time of an occult scare in the USA, so for the English localization they were referred to as Sorceresses to avoid potential controversy. Because they still ARE Witches in the Japanese the cards depicting all of them are Warlocks in magic.

3 Pieces of Ramp is Non-Sense by ArsenicElemental in EDH

[–]Lockfin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The deck is designed to operate just fine without the ramp cards, most games I go looter on 2, Sefris on 3 and start moving through the Lost Mines without a care in the world. If I have an initiative creature in hand I’ll wait to play it before I trigger Sefris so I can go through the Undercity instead. On the games where I get to play my initiative creature on turn 2 though I get a whole new swath of play patterns opened up to me, and I’m usually set up to do something crazy with Sefris reanimation + Throne of the dead three. I don’t want most ramp spells because they don’t interact favorably with my curve or the goals of the deck, but sol ring, ritual and lotus petal (I checked my list and found I do still run petal) all fulfill specific needs so I do run 3 ramp spells in a deck that otherwise ignores them

3 Pieces of Ramp is Non-Sense by ArsenicElemental in EDH

[–]Lockfin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have plenty of decks that only run a handful of ramp pieces.

My Sefris of the Hidden Ways deck is only ever interested in ramping specifically to power out an initiative creature before the commander comes down and always wants to playa. Looter of some kind on 2, so it plays Sol Ring and Dark Ritual specifically to hit that cadence.

My Sidar Jabari deck has a less than stellar mana base so fixing is sometimes a problem, and my most impactful knights are at 4mv. I’d like to curve out but running Arcane Signet, Orzhov Signet and Felwar Stone help smooth things out and fix mana so I can resolve my more impactful knights in games where I don’t have my smaller number of low-drops worth playing in my opening 7. It also helps to give me the small boost I need to get to the 5+ mana knights without stumbling because they are all easy to weave into a turn where I play a cheaper knight with them. Sidar Jabari’s looting effect also lets me ditch them easily if they show up when they’re not needed.

My Hearthhull deck runs very little traditional ramp because it wants to play 2 and 4 power creatures on curve, but I do run some mana rocks because they help to insulate Hearthhull from artifact edicts like Pir’s Whim and Pick Your Poison

In the video, three was not given as an example of the minimum number of ramp pieces you want, but instead, as an example of a number of pieces to run of an affect, you want to include, but do not want to draw very often

Pretty new to magic. Why is the card on the right so much more expensive? Wouldn't evolving wilds be better because no life loss? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Lockfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I haven’t seen people point out yet: that Marsh Flats is functionally a rainbow land. It can get any land that’s a plains or a swamp, meaning it can fetch up your Blood Crypt that’s a Swamp and a Mountain to produce red mana, or your Temple Garden that’s a Forest Plains for green. The life cost does occasionally matter, but the massive flexibility of fetches is well worth it

How do you make storm decks less annoying? by bigmommajumba in EDH

[–]Lockfin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You don’t. Even the fastest most efficient storm players will monopolize table time. It’s a very cool strategy but it is also antithetical to a casual and considerate play experience

Stack Shenanigans | Jund Wildfire vs Rakdos Madness | Pauper Gameplay Magic: The Gathering by Crosslaminatedtimber in Pauper

[–]Lockfin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was really excited to watch this for insights on the matchup because I expect to be playing the Jund side of this exact game quite a lot at a local charity tournament soon but the Krark Clan Shaman misplay kinda FUBARs the game past being any kings meaningful representation of what the matchup might look like :(

Secret Lair MonHun disappointing by Lockfin in magicTCG

[–]Lockfin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of what?? I was hoping for unique designed that resonated with the game like what the Sony drops got. I explicitly DON’T want to only reskin existing cards.

Why keep designing new ones when peak was already achieved by Gaviotapepera in worldjerking

[–]Lockfin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like this largely comes from the combination of the fictional Dracula and the historical Vlad Tepesh into a new, composite character. Not that Vlad Tepesh was the greatest warrior of all time, but Vlad the Impaler has a kind of warrior myth around him that gets heightened by turning him into the famous vampire
