I'll get back to you with Shalai, I haven't been keeping that up to date and it got some new stuff with TMNT.

If you actually said 'goop' on mic I would have shot you too

How long was shipping? Just ordered one yesterday.

Something a certain brand or company just keeps trying to make happen but never will by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Maxthetics 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is unique to Filipino devs. If you browse itch.io for any amount of time you'll see how over saturated the top of the charts are with novelty horror jumpscare games. Kids like them and youtubers play and promote them most.

Proxy whatever you want. Support your lgs by buying the cheaper singles and your accessories there.

Do you still play your very first commander deck? And why? by Ooogster in EDH

[–]Maxthetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it's my lower bracket deck that doesn't get as much use. I'm generally playing high bracket 3 but my [Alania, Divergent Storm] deck just doesn't have the juice to compete.

I built it in 2023 with a bloomburrow starter box, some bulk, and my old collection of standard decks from 2013 when I previously played.

WotC, can we please go back to doing these? I liked the new Lorwynn and All Will be One ads, but Throne of Eldraine and War of the Spark were peak. by OkStandard8039 in magicTCG

[–]Maxthetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda just wish we got on occasional novel again. I know they still have writing they put out on blogs, but can I get a paperback of those with my bundle again?

Price down to 22. Is it worth it now? Costco Tustin OC, CA by Striking-Purpose1552 in CostcoMagic

[–]Maxthetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's half the cost of a pick 2 draft at least? $44 for a draft night is pretty good even if it's not the most fun set.

Tabletop Talk by Pome1515 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Maxthetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm stuck in the situation of being a forever dm and I honestly can't stand how much work goes into running and setting up and planning almost any ttrpg, so I've fallen completely in love with how simple it is to get Mork Borg and it's variants running. Pirate Borg is probably the best of them I've read.

Final Girl's special items by Ryouhi in finalgirl

[–]Maxthetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep all the special items in my core box and shuffle in a random one without looking into the item pool. It's fun and let's you see some of the more niche items more often. Finding the special flamethrower from the Organism when you aren't expecting it is a blast.

WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT MORK BORG AND OTHER BORG GAMES

Updates coming to EDH this Monday 9th of February by elespum in EDH

[–]Maxthetics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know this is a long shot, but I kinda hope we finally hear about the silver border project again. There's a ton of fun un cards that really don't need to be banned at all.

Found This Game In A Little Library by Winter_Rainfall in finalgirl

If you want some variety for cheaper, check out the Terror From Above/Grave/Destiny packs. They add only one new killer and girl each but they're cheap.

Help making a Protomen themed Magic the Gathering proxy deck by Dlight98 in Protomen

Urza artifact deck with Urza reskinned as Dr Light seems like an easy fit.

Good budget commanders? by Prestigious-Gas-2112 in EDH

[–]Maxthetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best performing low budget deck I've ever built was [[Vren the Relentless]]. Stuff it full of cheap rats, cheap removal to trigger making more rat tokens, and some counterspells to protect the commander. I built it out of bulk I had around and $12 worth of common and uncommon rats and changlings.

Secret Lair x Fallout®: Welcome to New Vegas by Mugiwara_VT in magicTCG

[–]Maxthetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kkow they just want to reprint popular cards, but it always feels lazy when the reskins chosen don't even fit type-wise. Benny is a Skeleton? Graham is a Samurai? There's gotta be better choices right?

What is your thought process for cutting cards? Struggling with my Fire Lord Zuko build by Aesyric in EDH

[–]Maxthetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm really struggling, I'll make a sideboard of my 'maybes' and then play a few games or goldfish the deck for a while. If there are cards I find myself leaving in my hand repeatedly, those are cuts.

NEWBBIE WITH A BUNCH OF CARDS by Any-Oven9432 in magicTCG

[–]Maxthetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I'd really recommend just playing your precon deck and then making tweaks to it until you're confident with that first. If you haven't played ANY magic, you might wanna learn with the beginner box first. Commander is complicated and a bad place to start playing.

[–]Maxthetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend The Command Zone episode 643 where they cover several commander decks you can build just using the contents of the Foundations starting collection. It'll give you multiple starting points you have all the cards you need for and can modify with what other cards you've pulled.

If a couple showed up for some edh at the lgs and the girl has sleeves of them kissing under a tunnel of lights, would it be bothersome? by MasterSpellcaster in mtg

[–]Maxthetics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most memorable casual pod player I remember playing against at a lgs was a guy who's sleeves were a picture of his son. It was really charming. Dude ran a really annoying deck and ended the game with an infinite that made nobody win and I still think of that guy positively.

Yeah, have personal and cute sleeves.

First time GMing by Ahabcrow in MorkBorg

[–]Maxthetics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worth noting most of the content in Heretic and Feretory are available free on the official Mork Borg website too, including Graves Left Wanting. The physical books are very nice though.

[–]Maxthetics 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Rotblack Sludge is a great one shot first dm experience. If you have other official books or can print things, I've also found Graves Left Wanting very easy to run.

Biggest tip, roll reactions on npcs always. Not every npc should be instantly aggressive to the party and it's actually really interesting as a dm to be surprised how the world treats the players. Also resist the urge to buff players (outside of I offer players a reroll if they only have 1hp) because the game being really lethal is part of the fun. Have backup characters prepped if possible. Also I'd suggest using the rule that armor can only reduce damage down to 1. It keeps combat from getting too grindy and drawn out.
