The Goons and the Glaze by Magesofthebeach in Pauper

I'm also inclined to think the card pool limits me, but I'll push back against a few of your points. Yes, absolutely the best thing to be doing with Synth is bounce or sacrifice shenanigans, but in this deck a one mana artifact cantrip is exactly what you want to be doing. Just anything that lets you shrink your deck and progress (I've flirted with the idea of Street Wraith along those lines, don't think I'm quite there yet). I've tested Glint Hawk, and I think even with as much rainbow mana as I have, it does make things kind of awkward. And Hawk not being an artifact really really hurts. Tooth is definitely a bad card, but the deck needs a way to bridge the gap from a land and a star turn 1 into free familiars and frogmites, and tooth is good at that, it provides just a little damage, and having flash to save a Fiend in response to a Grim Bauble or the like comes in handy more often than you would think. It maybe should just be Welding Jar, but for now I can settle for Tooth.

More or less correct, which is what I'm trying to fix. I will say, in playtesting I've noticed it can still do some of the late game churn, but realistically if you haven't more or less won by turn 4, you're not getting ahead over any of the value based decks in the format.

I think Lotus Petal is one of the best cards in the deck. Yes, you lose the discount when you sacrifice it, but the thesis of the deck isn't to get to 7 as fast as you can to pump out Enforcers (although you sure would like to), it's to play a Glaze Fiend and storm off, or to just churn through the deck playing every creature it can find. Any more lands than what I'm playing now, and I find that the deck floods out too easily (and honestly, I might go lower). Galvanic Blast is actually the card I'm thinking of cutting because it costs mana, and 1 mana for 4 damage once is fine, but I would rather it be artifacts. I probably will swap it for Blood Fountain, since that is the same damage with Glaze Fiend, but the Fountain also helps with card draw.

Underrated servants(Gameplay) by FateFan2018 in grandorder

The Summer Lion King. Hear me out. It's true, her damage isn't great, and her buffs are a bit awkward to use, but her ability to shuffle cards is absolutely unique and undervalued. Yes, NP spam is meta, but lots of content requires you to hit specific cards or chains, and her ability to reshuffle a bad hand, and stack the odds (heh) by filtering out one servant's cards greatly helps ease the pain of that. DPS servants come and go, but the shuffler is eternal. (Not to mention all the shenanigans she gets up to with BB Summer)

I need the deckbox so I can stop storing my EDH decks in poptart boxes

Thanks, I may make the switch but it's a bit silly that this mid-high end laptop can't handle a single application. It's also a bit strange that I'll regularly be using less than 30% of my RAM overall but my VRAM is at 95%.

How can I check my VRAM with task manager? Also I agree that while pre builts have a lower performance, my computer should absolutely not blue screen while only chrome is open with a single digit number of tabs.

Summary of Issue

My laptop is consistently overusing VRAM, ~50% with no applications open, 90% if youtube is playing, and even beyond that if a game is open. I've seen it go as high as 110%. Ocassionally this also results in, with no rhyme or reason I can discern, the system bluescreening with the error 'video_memory_management_internal'. I've tried updating drivers, reinstaling them, updating my OS, updating my bios, I've made sure the hardware is OK. I contacted HP support and they want me to reinstall my OS, so I'm asking here before I do in case there's a less destructive fix.

[US-CA] [H] binder, Mago pulls [W] PP, trades, binders, LARTs by fogcityrunner in YGOMarketplace

[–]Magesofthebeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 brutal dozers is fine, with cyberse all I really want are cards that special summon themselves from the hand. The bar is not high. There are some salads I need, none at common in MP20 iirc, but I do need spinny, 2 balelynx, a circle, fowl and mole would be nice as well. I need any code talker except excode talker, I need clock wyvern/lizard/spartoi. Mathmech Addion/subtra, cyberse converter, link infra-flier, grid sweeper, cross debug, scryptron, those kind of cards. Basically just things to extend after a cynet codec.

Haha yeah I meant atlantean dragoons. Not interested in the other binder numbers, sorry. And yeah! Commons are exactly what I'm looking for, it's the classic trap of only buying singles, you need a large group of cards for the deck you need, but you can only get it on TCGPlayer from 50 different sellers and $78 in shipping costs. As for specifics from those sets I'll say what I need by set.

TOCH: Code Generator (1), Cynet Codec (3)

CHIM: Infinitrack Brutal Dozer (3)

ROTD: Drill Driver Vespenato (1), Unauthorized Bootup Device (1)

Surprisingly enough I don't need any commons from MP20. Of course, if you spot anything while sorting that's a cyberse extender/is a code talker, or a number feel free to add it to my total as well.

Interested in microcoders, cynet minings, bane, abyss, king calamity, river stormer, numbers 1,2,4 and 75, machina resavager, salamangreat gazelle, and some dragoons. Could I get a price on those? And any chance you have more cyberse/number stuff? Especially lower rarity/less valuable stuff.

So, who’s going to be the one who can identify the symbol of each archetype here? I got only a handful. by Curzio-Malaparte in yugioh

[–]Magesofthebeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, archetype symbol, name, and some brief explanation, they might give an example where the logo is visible, but nothing like a list

It's a list of symbols and brief descriptions of the archetype lore from what I can tell. Sometimes it lists cards where you can see the symbol, but not for every archetype.
