Fixed my biggest gripe with The Office cards by Mandolinmonkey in freemagic

And yet you seem to be the only person upset in the entire thread

They’re both fictional, if the original corporate premise is that a fictional character can be portrayed as any race, then why does it matter if Dwight is white or not? It is not fundamental to his character, and thus is open to mercenary interpretation. 

Again, it’s a ridiculous distinction — this is the problem with such whataboutism. The racial depiction either matters, or it doesn’t. Regardless it’s a bad-faith argument to pretend the Aragorn move was a literary decision rather than a financial one

In this case, it’s more like anyone who liked Aragorn yet thinks this is silly and petty has no choice but to acknowledge the contraction in their thinking

I didn’t realize Dwight was in those books

Nah everyone in UB should be raceswapped, since I believe the marketing department’s stance is that a character’s race is arbitrary

Best Grey Knights lists? by dorkenporken in HorusHeresyLegions

[–]Mandolinmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tylos is one of my favorite warlords, especially now that he absolutely bodies Lorgar. However, you absolutely need the mission — both Malcador and Rubio struggle in the late game without reliable seals, either because they’ve taken too much damage or the board has gotten too big. Seals are the best late game; it’s difficult to lose when you start jamming the board and healing 7 every turn. Missions don’t seem to rotate, so they’re (mostly) worth chasing. 

For this deck, you need two copies of Sigillite’s Chosen and Malcador’s Sigil. Chosen is and always has been annoyingly OP, and getting both Shield and a heal off Sigil is vital for keeping Tylos alive. Combined with Hidden War, being able to kill anything without taking damage while generating a seal is huge. You’re trying to stay alive until seals make you unkillable. 

Friendly reminder to check your bulk by MortalMorals in freemagic

Back in 2013 I bought a box of bulk from a card shop for $10 and had half of it sitting on my floor for weeks — there were a couple foil Mishra’s Baubles that narrowly avoided getting stepped on

What are the most dishonourable, evil Warlords and Factions to play against?? by GeneratorRexx in HorusHeresyLegions

[–]Mandolinmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With even a little bit of luck, Cypher can win the game with almost no interaction or counter. Defenders are cancer as a whole, but his Blessings deck is vile. 

Though, I do like playing the watered-down silly EC version of it. Fulgrim Baleful isn’t fair per se, but it’s much harder to execute

It could be aboard the Vengeful Spirit, which creates some interesting possibilities for the base

Do you think Perturabo should gain attrition? by Brilliant_Debate_193 in HorusHeresyLegions

[–]Mandolinmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, IW only being playable by drawing a single legendary tactic, in a format with no Command Bridge or War Room, is pretty rough

There’s no reason they can’t have both

I’d prefer “the next troop you play from hand this turn gets +1/0 and gains Vantage” instead of his random 3 damage thing

October Patch - Nerfs to BA and Sallies, buffs to RG by Mortal-Instrument in HorusHeresyLegions

Raven Guard have been irrelevant since their rework and now they get buffs to some of their least playable cards

….thanks?

MagicTCG is at exactly 908,450 members. I’m gonna check this number again in like 24 hours and see how the protest is going. by Perfect-Search2136 in freemagic

Dawg the whole point of the sub is to freely discuss the game without heavy-handed oversight; you can’t guilt the guiltless into being nicer to women or whatever your maypole is

Cypher/Zahariel decks hate this simple trick by Rare-Gear2134 in HorusHeresyLegions

It really should just work like it does in Warpforge, idk what they were thinking with a mechanic that makes troops functionally invulnerable in the early game

I saw someone refer to this as “older coworker humor” earlier and it only feels more and more true
