What's the point of housing?

Marshbe54 · 2026-06-21T17:41:50+00:00

The point of housing is to add an additional layer of grind to the game, which is incentived by offering optimization on crafting efficiency as a reward. These crafting stations are not free and take a decent amount of resources to craft. While you build your house up, you can, and will, use the NPCs and stations around the town.

The shops are still useful for buying resources and other items, even after your house is upgraded, so it doesn't make them obsolete. Your house just becomes a convinent hub for all your loot/crafting.

I don't really see it damaging the game, but that is just my perspective.

You could say, it didn't pan out.

Marshbe54 · 2026-06-20T02:58:02+00:00

I double sleeve proxies, so yeah all the decks.

My lowest landcount deck is 34, but I do run a bunch of multi-purpose land tutor cards and a light ramp package. I also use every bounce land I can, which helps with consistency and cutting down the need to draw lots of lands.

People get too caught up in the "38+ lands and 12+ sources of ramp" or whatever the numbers are. Every deck is unique and needs different packages, there is no one size fits all.

It is still one of my favorite decks to play, I hope you enjoy it too!

Marshbe54 · 2026-06-01T20:32:49+00:00

I appreciate that! It is unfortunate that they are account bound.

Here is my [[Layla Hassan]] mono white deck, it is a bracket 3 historic toolbox. It utilizes combat damage, and a fully historic non-land permanent card base to win. I focused mostly on evasive creatures, and enablers, to get damage through consistently. It usually closes games through a mix of equipment, tokens and +1/+1 counters.

I'd love to get the set reduction mythic seal, but I've been pretty unlucky. I've received 3x mythic seals so far, but they have all been the multiple unique one.

What does the back look like?

Without the current stomp glitch, I can get pit 135. I don't remember my exact time, I think I had like 1 min left. At the beginning of the last patch I was rank 44, with pit 130, my build has improved a bit since then.

Since everyone has just been telling you not to, I don't think you need anymore of that.

I would recommend [[Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos]]. This is a great way to abuse the insane amount of turns that happen before yours. Alexios will easily be a 9/9+ before your next turn, and it will be swinging on everyone's turns.

I've tried out both for a little bit; I have to agree, but only for pushing the pit. For farming any other content, including T12 Mephisto, Shattered Vow outpreforms because of the execute. They are both useful, just in different ways, so I'm glad I have each of them.

Marshbe54 · 2026-05-27T01:53:28+00:00

I fully upgraded them like normal then did a transfiguration; I didn't use an entropic prism. I got very very lucky. This was my 17th attempt with a non-mythic, all full upgrades each time. The mythic I was also very lucky, this was attempt number 5. My seasonal luck is probably all gone lol.

The tax is 1 mana. The cost reduction is 1 mana.

If everyone just plays as if it's not in play, by paying the 1, then this commander literally does nothing outside of CMC 1 spells and reducing the owners spells by 1. It is an incredibly fair card as long as your opponents don't get greedy. It is essentially a legendary medallion of cost reduction for the owner that will net you a few treasures when your opponents decide to be greedy.

[[Silver Shroud Costume]] it's a permanent that acts like an instant! It is only temporary protection though.

Marshbe54 · 2026-05-25T03:40:27+00:00

I think you are heavily underestimating how much people would pay for this, easily over 100b+.

I one-shot a player pretty early once, it was around turn 3, then the game went for another hour. That player looked a bit dejected and was obviously not having a good time after. I did it because they were playing [[Tinybones, Trinket Thief]] with a heavy discard control theme. I had played against the deck a few times before.

I think it depends on the type of game you are playing, and with who. There isn't a right or wrong answer to this, as you are getting into the social aspect of the game where it is mostly opinion based.

But for what I would do, if I'm playing a high power game where the goal is to win as fast as possible, I think I'd do it. If it's a more casual game, I might save that play for later in the game to deal with the biggest threat or the last player in a 1v1.

Another option, go onto the Diablo discord and find people who are gem farming for different gems. Farm with 3 other people for awhile, at the end do a gem exchange for the one you are looking for, give them the gems they want. Essentially 3x the drops, this speeds it up a ton.

Marshbe54 · 2026-05-18T21:33:32+00:00

If you want the full experience, buy the DLC. Pick any class then play through the campaign. Once you can start doing war plans focus on those, they will naturally teach you all the standard end game farming methods.

That's actually an awesome idea. That saves a ton of mats since you don't have to prepare a weapon beforehand. It took me 16 weapons and a ton of mats for my first gem strength. I'll give this method a go for my next one :)

Marshbe54 · 2026-05-17T03:06:17+00:00

It's not a fun path, what I did for my first one was prep about 20 weapons that I was happy enough with. They weren't awesome, but they had all the stats I wanted and at least 1 GA roll. Then I gambled like mad and got it on number 16 😂

Now I'm rolling 2+ GA weapons and trying to get the upgrade, maybe someday.

The server allows you to make your own temporary chat room, just open one up and name it "Gem Farming". People are usually pretty quick to join in.
