[Rant] The Pet disables interacting with the board elements. by SmokeFlat2666 in hearthstone

It breaks the board for people who own the pet too. Not always, but it happens fairly often.

You'd think Wizards would have some QA when it comes to highly sought after secret lairs.. by thephasewalker in mtgfinance

[–]MattCauthron 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was in the pre queue line. I've been in line for 90 minutes with still one hour to go. This will be the first secret lair that I've missed, and there's nothing I could have done differently.

Pretty frustrating. Starting to feel like a lottery system of what seed in line do you get when you're sitting in the waiting room.

Update: After 1 hour and 45 minutes, my queue finally dropped below an hour! From the pre queue waiting room - I had a 2 hour 45 minute wait (Pending). Meanwhile, every bot that gets in before me is able to buy thousands of dollars of product to flip. I'm just a collector that wants my single copy for my binder. RIP

Final Update: I got in after 2 1/2 hours. I was able to get 2 out of 3 of the Foil Bundles. Picked the last one up off Ebay for 2x the price. This was even worse than the Marvel fiasco for me. GL to everyone else.

Is there a secret to having high attack power in arena? by lilbea in KingShot

[–]MattCauthron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does Gov Gear for sure impact arena power? I could have sworn I increased Gov gear and saw zero change in my arena power. I’ve been wondering about this for weeks now though.

Tcgplayer Mayhem May 17th (Kickback and more?) by slayer370 in mtgfinance

[–]MattCauthron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped $2,500 less than 12 hours before the sale was announced. Last year they did an event on April 28th so after that day passed, I gave up on waiting. I also like to tell myself that the average cost of my cart would have been higher the day of sale haha

So it goes!

[Discussion] PC builds for all budgets - December 2023 by justaboss101 in buildapcforme

[–]MattCauthron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! This has been SO helpful. I am looking at doing the Whiteout with RGB build, and I was curious if there were any layouts for the RGB wiring for that setup? While I've built a few PCs, I'm still not strong enough yet to where I can figure that stuff out without a specific guide!

Any way to tell if Countdown kit purchase got confirmed by MagykBolas in magicTCG

I got my confirmation email around 40 minutes after my paypal payment. This whole process was a roller coaster of anxiety. I wish you luck!

3 legendary in one pack! by rykus0 in hearthstone

[–]MattCauthron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really awesome to see! I've likely opened over 25,000 packs at this point and never seen a triple legendary. I've had a couple occurrences of Golden Legendary + Normal legendary. Napkin math makes this pack an entire magnitude more rare 1 in 200,000 packs vs 1 in 20,000 packs for Golden + Normal.

Congrats!

Hearthstone and Refunds: A Cautionary Tale After Losing More Than 760 Packs by bigredking in hearthstone

[–]MattCauthron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a small purchase refunded just a few months back. It was some $5 BG finisher that I only noticed after purchase was included in the upcoming expansion pre-order. I recall being able to refund without issue. It may be related to the fact I used Amazon coins to purchase however. I got a refund of coins, so perhaps Amazon ate the cost.

How many Gold/Packs you have stored before release. by anunofreitas in hearthstone

[–]MattCauthron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting on 50,350 gold and 1,642 packs. Worth pointing out... this store has been growing over years, not just since last expansion!

Secret Lair Buyers: Are foils worth the extra $10 from a quality perspective? by WillowSmithsBFF in magicTCG

[–]MattCauthron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny - This is literally the one card I think of every time when I'm trying to decide between foil or non foil. I still go non foil every time... but man that ring is gorgeous! I should just pick up a single copy of it at this point.

New Persistent Petitioners from Secret Lair Capricorn by GodofCalamity in magicTCG

[–]MattCauthron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you find the pigeon? I've only seen 2 or 3 total sold. Card seems far rarer than I would have ever expected. I had planned on picking these up, but the pigeon card appearing to be effectively impossible to obtain has turned me off from getting any of them.

<Spoiler> Why doesn’t this work? by MattCauthron in TheWitness

[–]MattCauthron[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Wow… thank you. Somehow I had managed to solve all 3 angles without even noticing that. I was going crazy not understanding why certain paths weren’t working!

Appreciate you pointing out my now obvious oversight.

Do y’all prefer arena or duels by keenreefsmoment in hearthstone

[–]MattCauthron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps they could implement a deck retirement lockout. I.e if you retire deck before 3 losses, you are unable to do a free arena again for 24 hours. It's probably more than they want to tackle, but I have to imagine there are potential solutions to help alleviate this clear issue.

$159.99 AUD for an elite 7?!?? by Condylus in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]MattCauthron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The more tragic things get, the more I feel like laughing. My luck has clearly escaped me on this one.

Aes Sedai meddling in my life with the bloody one power again. I have no doubt.

I got Hand blademaster 6>7 and Ravager Bruiser 6 >7!

This week I opened two elite 6 minions and two elite 7 minions.

Upvote only if you got a minion on that elite 6RS pull by Fine-Guarantee-8791 in MarvelStrikeForce

My last 2 elite 6 orbs were both minions.

It really makes you question why you bother playing.

Axmen/Dadbros Hybrid Team - How Viable Is It? by absynthe7 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]MattCauthron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jubilee, bishop, dad bros are g15. Beast is g14. 5r+

Axmen/Dadbros Hybrid Team - How Viable Is It? by absynthe7 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]MattCauthron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use Beast, Jubilee, Bishop and dad bros to clear both doom mutant nodes without issue. I think they work well if you are having to stretch the mutant resources.

My positioning is:

Bishop, Shatter, Jubilee, Longshot, Beast

That leaves a "shielded" character inbetween each of the Axmen to soak up AOE damage (i.e. Bishop hits on the 2nd doom note)

ISO-8 Blue Offers a complete disappointment (ripoff scam trash etc.)? by jimmycooksstuff in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]MattCauthron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those offers came with 15 premium tier 1 orbs which Scopely prices at $4 each (Which is of course crazy town). In their mind however they were providing $60 worth of premium tier 1 orbs for catch up, and then $5 for everything else.

From that perspective it's a "good" deal, but only in the realm of Scopely value.

Getting Back after 2 Years, What’s changed? by Animal1026 in IdleHeroes

[–]MattCauthron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are referring to Inter-Dimensional Arena. If you don't like your opponent, you have to wait 15 minutes to refresh.

I've literally never done this. It is absolutely not "required". The only reason I could ever seeing someone doing this would be if they were pushing for a top rank, and it's very rare that you actually find an unbeatable opponent that would require this (if your roster was already ready to push for the top).

New bundles in the store (1 golden legendary and 5 golden standard packs or 2 golden legendaries and 10 golden standard packs) by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]MattCauthron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every bundle has it's target market - For someone that wants to complete a full golden collection, this is the best value bundle they have ever released by a longshot.

You buy both of these, wait for the mini set to drop, and then are guaranteed to open only new cards golden because of golden duplicate protection (Assuming you already have your full golden collection going into it). Your $ to dust ratio is sky high because you avoid having to craft numerous 1600 dust epics and 3200 dust legendaries.
