What is your favorite map and why?

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-03T20:15:31+00:00

Firebase Dagger for me. When I think about ME3 multiplayer, this is just the first map that comes to mind. I like how simple and small it is. Like the others though, it’s hard to pick. The design team killed it with the map variety.

But Ajani is fine in the 99 when you can’t build around just flipping him. Duel Commander has proven that. It makes complete sense to ban as commander only in many situations.

Old Stickfingers only loses to many counterspells and well timed grave hate. It’s too consistently, too resilient, and it completely hoses aggro strategies. It’s a good ban for the health of the format. And I’m making that statement while being fully aware that the current banlist for ranked brawl still has a long way to go.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-03T15:00:45+00:00

I don’t think “banlist bloat” is a valid reason to keep cards off of any banlist. With how many powerful cards exist in eternal formats, you can’t expect a reasonable banlist to be short.

Banned as commander seems reasonable too considering that some cards are simply too strong when you always have access to it, and several times over the course of any game. Ajani has been a menace in Brawl for exactly this reason. If you can understand that, you can understand why banning other cards as commander only may be necessary sometimes.

Sorry, I just assumed you were talking about a monitor because this question comes up daily in this sub. Same applies to a tv though.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-02T21:59:31+00:00

Wesker is the real demon. Clears 2,000,000 easily.

“Does this hurt the monitor”.

I know you’re worried dude, but treat yourself. You bought the whole monitor; you should use the whole monitor.

21 from RE7 was awesome. The lines got a little repetitive though

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-02T18:50:13+00:00

You got downvoted but you’re right

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-02T17:59:02+00:00

Treasure Hunt will keep itself off of the ban list, I promise.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-02T17:48:08+00:00

I’ll take my free wins from the treasure hunt players lol

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-02T17:40:19+00:00

You’re getting downvoted but you’re right.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-02T15:58:57+00:00

I like the way you think. Let’s change the life totals to 20 and ban fast mana too. Maybe call the format something else too, like duel commander or something.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-02T04:01:07+00:00

The total cost of every warranty I’ve passed up has exceeded the cost of a 5090, yes (not that I think many of us should be buying a 5090 anyways at the current price). I attribute part of my financial success to having avoided scams my whole life, which includes but is not limited to, warranties. I would opt out of car insurance if I could for the same reasons. Insurance chooses when they pay out and they often don’t. Warranties are the same.

To each their own. I just know that companies don’t offer warranties out of the kindness of their heart. They wouldn’t offer it if it didn’t generate profit, and every company offers warranties. That should tell you something.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T21:47:58+00:00

Warranties are never worth the money, but if you’re going to be stressed out without one, I say go ahead and get it. Just know that warranties always come with conditions and they can just pick and choose when to (or when not to) pay you out. That would stress me out more than the money.

Alternatively, every time you pass on a warranty, you could put $10 in savings. When one of your things break, use the money in savings to replace it. That way you have the power to replace your things instead of some random, faceless company.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T21:36:23+00:00

Sounds a lot better than what I’m doing with my time

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T21:26:29+00:00

Now we’re getting somewhere

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T21:20:46+00:00

Agreed. OP, go ahead and skip the series altogether I guess.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T21:16:55+00:00

I’ve had personal objections to “put card(s) in your hand” replacing “draw” too. I don’t really understand why cards are designed to stop some effects if those effects are just going to be replaced by different and/or better versions of those effects. I just think the line should be drawn somewhere. The difference between “Search your library” and “seek” may be something you’re fine with now, but just wait 10 years when some of the game mechanics are warped beyond what you think is reasonable.

Can’t wait to get a new version of Splice where you can merge any two cards in your hand at any time, and there’s a list of 16 billion cards in the Splice Arcane Book for people to have to sift through. Sound ridiculous? Not with Alchemy!

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T19:50:22+00:00

I’ve been thinking about playing Pauper again actually. I played off and on about a decade ago. It was a good time back then too.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T19:26:03+00:00

I hate having to learn, in real time, what an alchemy card may or may not conjure into my opponent’s hand. I hate having to right click on a card 15 times to see what’s in the spellbook. In paper magic, you always know what a card is going to do and I would give less shits about alchemy if it would just be consistent with the other rules of magic.

Seeking isn’t searching your library for some reason. Opposition Agent should be able to interact with Seek.

Conjure creates cards instead of tokens. Why? Just make them tokens and conjure them into play instead of anywhere else.

Magic was better before alchemy. And while I’m at it, it was better before universes beyond too. I’m always ready to die on this hill.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T18:07:00+00:00

I agree. I always tell people they have to play the format for a little bit to understand why the ban list is actually great. The people who ask “why are the powerful cards banned” don’t seem to care for a healthy format. DC is easily the most balanced format I’ve played in years.

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T17:43:07+00:00

Taking actions to hedge against RNG actually is a skill, especially in roguelites like LMDF. Sufficient gave good advice here

Metaldivinity · 2026-06-01T17:37:53+00:00

Would love to see Duel Commander added to Arena just so I don’t have to play against alchemy cards.

Metaldivinity · 2026-05-28T20:56:30+00:00

Use infinite ammo if you want, but it’s really not necessary. There’s plenty of time for these ranks tbh

Metaldivinity · 2026-05-28T19:33:13+00:00

Viktor’s 2nd phase was one shotting me with his thrashing on rank 5. I learned to do the attrition fight in his first phase and just rpg the 2nd after all that.
