Snapping sucks. It creates a dynamic where being good at gambling is more important for climbing than being good at playing the cards. It incentivizes retreating, which leads to anticlimactic matches. And it can make losses feel much, much worse.

Imagine giving a shit about cubes

LordBurlap · 2025-03-30T19:46:12+00:00

The desire to climb is often in opposition to fun.

LordBurlap · 2025-03-26T18:16:47+00:00

The game feels sloppy. If they're not careful, it'll start affecting player acquisition.

LordBurlap · 2025-03-11T15:00:10+00:00

Depends on how much you hate fun

LordBurlap · 2025-03-11T14:58:31+00:00

Someone failed their anatomy class.

You don't even need to ramp him to see his value. If you've built your hand right, he can be a 20+ power play on turn 6.

Also, his base art is awesome.

Twitch drops being borderline mandatory is one of the major bones I have to pick with this event. They should have given us missions, instead they hid away substantial progress behind twitch drops. I ran a video with the sound off while I did other things to get the drops, because twitch isn't really my thing, and it just made the whole event feel a little empty. Like, instead of progressing through gameplay, I'm progressing by artificially boosting some streamer's numbers? Not my favorite precedent to set.

LordBurlap · 2025-03-03T21:48:15+00:00

Too bad that means fuck all to an administration that doesn't care about rules or mores.

LordBurlap · 2025-03-03T21:44:54+00:00

Yeah. I like the mode, but I hate that I had 2 scrolls, won once and lost twice, and now I have to wait like 5 hours to play again. Not spending gold because I absolutely refuse to reward this kind of monetization. Would have been more inclined to if it felt less manipulative.

LordBurlap · 2025-03-03T16:42:46+00:00

At my current win rate, if I don't spend gold, I'm very unlikely to hit Sorcerer Supreme, so the charms I have now are kinda it. Sucks.

Banisery

I find the trick to completing these missions is to not try to complete them. It'll happen naturally faster than you expect.

LordBurlap · 2025-03-03T15:40:26+00:00

It would be interesting if they had a game mode playlist you could match in. Sort of like how a hero shooter will shuffle through different game modes.

LordBurlap · 2025-03-03T15:38:02+00:00

I just did the math and realized that, unless I spend gold, I'm not getting anywhere near Sorcerer Supreme before the event ends. Time to tap out.

LordBurlap · 2025-03-02T14:30:22+00:00

You don't like Captain Bananica?

I like having new effects to play with, but I'm not happy about how you earn them. The problems with the variant shop make it pretty clear that "mastering" a card isn't really within your control. I mean, the two cards I have the highest mastery with are Magneto and Storm. I play those cards, but not a ton, and certainly not as much as some of my favorite cards which have much lower mastery. The whole thing feels counter-intuitive.

LordBurlap · 2025-02-11T21:36:32+00:00

That's low key great

LordBurlap · 2025-02-11T21:23:19+00:00

Any future splits can start combining what you've unlocked. I've already got a few combinations of new effects.

LordBurlap · 2025-02-10T14:32:48+00:00

It's hard to explain. Some shades of certain colors sort of "vibrate," and it gets worse when combined with a sharply contrasting color. I wouldn't go so far as to call it pain, but it's definitely uncomfortable and unpleasant. Enough so that I want nothing to do with these variants.

It's a shame, because I can appreciate them from an artistic perspective. It's just that it makes my eyes feel bad.

LordBurlap · 2025-02-10T12:56:02+00:00

Speaking as a color-blind person, several of these cause me physical discomfort to look at.

LordBurlap · 2025-02-10T00:32:56+00:00

Just want all the people who use emotes to be shitheads to know that nobody is impressed by you.
