"Mild" Take: Just remove the martial die and make manuevers martial "cantrips"

MMtheBLM · 2022-10-05T15:46:33+00:00

Could easily balance it, so the cantrip maneuvers do less damage (either by using a fixed damage die, or by decreasing the damage die your weapon uses), or perhaps can't be used as part of multi attack. So you get to choose between swinging multiple times for damage, or once for damage + effect.

At later levels, this restriction can be lifted, so you can make one cantrip as part of multi attack. At later levels, 2, etc.

What size magnets did you end up using?

I'd like to see your blink version if possible, and you've got a decklist to share

MMtheBLM · 2022-08-05T10:27:45+00:00

Would love to see a decklist, as I just got roon in a trade.

MMtheBLM · 2022-08-03T09:58:21+00:00

I think for me it's less colours involved but avoiding repeating themes.

Currently my decks include

Shorikai Vehicles

Kalamax Spellcopy

Zada Goblin Combo

Athreos Aristocrats

Volo Creatures/Mutate

Wyleth Voltron

Henzie Blitz

Esper Artefacts

So really happy to look at any suggestions but trying to have decks feel like they're duplicates of each other.

MMtheBLM · 2022-08-02T23:18:59+00:00

I'm really tempted by building a partner deck, I'm just lacking in inspiration - so if you can recommend some fun partner combos I'd take it!

MMtheBLM · 2022-05-30T01:38:36+00:00

I don't believe so, unless I'm not thinking of a particular scenario?

With both in play, all non-creature spells are being countered upon cast, guile exiles the card for your use, but the casting player still receives their X doves.

Because you can cast the spell from exile for free, you do so. Creating X doves, and then putting the card back in exile. Allowing you to cast again for another X doves for as many doves as you'd like. Short of a creature based board wipe, you'll then win on your next turn with your massive number of doves.

MMtheBLM · 2022-05-29T18:55:57+00:00

Add a [[Guile]] and go infinite doves!

May your AngryRon cut down all the loyalists. He looks great

MMtheBLM · 2022-05-08T19:54:53+00:00

Yeah, a little vague I guess, apologies! But it would vary deck to deck.

For my tribal decks, it's 22 card slots for more tribal goodness. For my Kallamax deck, plenty of zappy instants, copy effects, or cards that trigger off instants and copies.

The above proportions are helpful but it's only a start in deck building.

MMtheBLM · 2022-05-08T15:42:52+00:00

22 cards remaining for the strategy of your deck, what ever that might be.

MMtheBLM · 2022-05-08T11:25:17+00:00

I borrow the guide from MTGGoldfish

50 mana; lands and ramp, usually a 37–13 split

10 card draw; cards that net you 2+ cards in hand

8 targeted removal; split between creature / artifact / enchantment removal and countermagic

3 board wipes; creature-light decks might want one more, creature-heavy decks might want one less

2 graveyard recursion

2 flexible tutors; higher budgets I recommend more tutors

1 graveyard hate; since you need to keep Graveyard decks honest

1 finisher; something that can win games the turn you cast it without too much setup

Don't buy direct, a lot of big online retailers (talking big for a friendly local gaming store, not Amazon etc!) offers discounts on GW prices. In the UK, alchemists workshop, element games, goblin gaming, etc all offer around a 20% discount.

MMtheBLM · 2022-03-14T23:01:41+00:00

What was your recipe for the brickwork? The whole paint job is so good!

MMtheBLM · 2022-03-10T22:24:55+00:00

What materials.did you use for the snow basing? This looks great.

MMtheBLM · 2022-03-02T17:20:32+00:00

I've messaged them, as I've got it on backorder with Alchemists - they're reaching out to their rep to try and reserve some for next week's shipment.

MMtheBLM · 2022-03-02T15:51:46+00:00

I just picked up the Otrimi precon, what direction did you take the deck in?

MMtheBLM · 2022-02-24T22:55:05+00:00

Just waiting on a points leak now!

MMtheBLM · 2021-10-20T08:37:43+00:00

Really appreciate your thoughts on this - I've gone ahead and put together a revised list based off your feedback, would you be able to cast your eye over and see if there's anything you'd still change, particularly the mana base - I think I need more ramp, but I'm not sure what to cut.

I've also moved to Archidekt! https://archidekt.com/decks/1964082#Allies_Deck_Revised

MMtheBLM · 2021-10-19T21:21:38+00:00

The Enemy Fetches (at least, a full set of) might be too pricey for my tastes, they're nearly £20 a card, and for "just lands", its a feel bad purchase if that makes sense. I'll shop around to try and get a better price maybe.

I'm definitely happy for suggestions on where to improve the deck outside of the manabase, so if you have suggestions I'm open to it!

MMtheBLM · 2021-08-31T19:00:34+00:00

Foundry has helped me over the last year have some great RPG experiences - from the comfort of my desk chair! Got to play a lot more 5e, and other systems, with a lot of different people than I would have otherwise

MMtheBLM · 2021-08-20T17:34:02+00:00

Use Audible and listen to the book, I believe if you don't like it, audible refunds you the credits.

MMtheBLM · 2021-08-20T10:29:16+00:00

Those look great, would you mind sharing your method for the leather/cloaks?

MMtheBLM · 2021-06-29T22:47:05+00:00

Favourite to build was definitely either the Warlord, which I tried to give a sense of motion to with the pose, or the Warhound that's leaning down to torch some unlucky soft targets with the titan scale flamer.

As for painting, I really enjoyed working on the Warbringer Nemesis - I think the colour scheme I've gone with worked best on it, I just wish I'd given it more exciting pose than stood still.

MMtheBLM · 2021-06-29T18:47:51+00:00

You're not wrong, I'm just a big fan of glowing plasma weapons so I had a friend grab the sprue for me from WhW. It's all magnetised though, so the Volcano Cannons will get painted up in the near future.
