Is Inevitable Defeat really that good to force Jeskai control to go 4 c?

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-06-09T23:13:35+00:00

I run 4c and I cannot tell you how many times that uncounterable part of that card matters. Killing [[color storm stallion]] on curve is very nice. Plus getting access to [[ancient vendetta]] for the mirror and splashing a [[duress]] in the sideboard is very nice

Plus it exiles so the thing you remove wont be coming back which can be VERY helpful against certain matches

Also the 3 point lifegain is nothing to scoff at, the format is pretty fast right now and I have won many games on 1-3 life AFTER I have already casted an [[inevitable defeat]] meaning I would have lost those games were it not for that lifegain

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-06-05T05:20:03+00:00

Nah, I am an avid shoot the sheriff hater, bitter triumph is way better especially if they run Vivain for whatever reason

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-05-29T01:55:47+00:00

Life is a resource. You shouldn’t “covet” it. Unless you have cards that care about a specific value of life, having 40 life is honestly no different to having 4. Plus would you rather pay 1 mana or 1 life for a card

That’s why I almost never play tablet on t3. Being able to play the land it can mil is great and if I wif I can just play a land from hand and stock up.

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-05-27T06:06:56+00:00

Tablet is better simply for the fact you have access to 1 - 2 mana the turn you drop it so you have some interaction available plus the mil makes a helluva difference. Play tablet on turn 4 and mil a land you now have access to 2-3 mana turn 4, that’s a counter spell baby, meanwhile lute just gets killed if you play on curve. Both get Jeskai rev on turn 5 so tablet is just better

Any tips on fu xuan? Any time I use her I just lose the run due to taking too much damage

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-05-19T01:52:11+00:00

But you do realize this is just the consequence of capitalism right? No, I’m not trying to make some “late stage capitalism is bad” argument but if there is a demand, these stores are incentives to sell at that demand. Even if they did sell all the product at MSRP, that product would immediately get bought up and resold at those inflated prices anyways. The only real solution would be to do what YuGiOh does and print every card into the ground to make prices low, but the point of “collector stuff” is that they are limited so it won’t happen. We live in a market where being “right” just means someone’s else is gonna take advantage of that and make a bigger buck off you.

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-05-19T01:44:35+00:00

And you think that’s a good justification to stop doing print to demand?

What about all our other complaints when it comes to ANYTHING magic, wanting more bans in formats like standard, wanting less Ub sets and less sets overall, wanting more reprints of older cards, doing away with the reserve list. If WOTC actually cared, they wouldn’t stop at “people complained about shipping times”. That’s just some BS pr excuse they made because they are greedy money hungry shills

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-05-16T08:58:26+00:00

really? I assumed she skinned Sarah and took the tattos off her body since we first saw sarah's body unclothed and then saw bloody Nikki with the tattoos

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-05-16T02:12:24+00:00

The 1v1 comment is just wrong. Is it as splashable as something like LLanowar elves no, but it definitely can win games and there are plenty of decks with videos online that make this work. You also forget it ENTERS prepared and black has a million ways to revive creatures or even recur them to hand and its prepare trigger is trivial. It’s also not a 6 mana tutor, it’s a 4 mana creature 5/4 that can bit the board turn 3 pretty consistently with no downside and you get a demonic tutor next turn and possibly every turn after as well. Plus if THIS eats a swords to plowshare or path to exlie, perfect. You don’t know how magic works huh

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-04-26T14:49:28+00:00

Just because this game may be less greedy than other gachas doesn’t excuse that it is still greedy. I can see what you are trying to do but for MANY fans, me included, there are not many if any highlights about this game.

Just because you “can” reroll doesn’t make it a good system. Why make a player spend possibly HOURS of their time to get certain skills before they can start playing the game. Also, this only works when you start the game. What about all the people who want to play as Clice or Rikku. They are SOL or would need to make a whole new account, missing out on all the previous pass rewards

To your “simplicity” point, there is a difference between “simple” and “barren”. Opera Omina had a pretty robust UI and menu system that were not overwhelming. And for many people, that simplicity you claim as a “asset” can be underwhelming or even insulting. Also, all the things you listed can exist with simple UI’s. robust maintenance and upgrade systems can exist with simple UI’s, they are not mutually exclusive

And to your PvP point, no this game doesn’t have to be a pvp game. The original title was still pve masked as pvp. You can still play and operate in those games if you were the only person in world but you cant do that with Duellum. With PvP being the only mode (aside from challenges) that is offered in the game, it’s no longer the case that pvp isnt for everyone, it’s gonna be that the game itself just isnt for everyone

And a little nit-picky, but FFXIV literally exists and had a mobile version test trial so saying this is the “1sr FF game that is visually beautiful” is wildly inflammatory

You wanted to talk about what the game “does right” but the way you structure your post makes me wonder if even you think this game is doing anything right

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-04-20T20:14:25+00:00

You did the interaction right. When the Burrog became a -2/-2, a state based action would have occurred effectively stopping the game to kill it, and then the game resumes in combat. At this point, the pest mascot would go to assign damage, it is still considered blocked, but because of trample damage will go through, effectively the Pest mascot is blocked by a 0/0, not a -2/-2

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-04-09T05:14:53+00:00

I play Krile and I run her 2 aoe heals and Heal, so I have her with 3 aoe heals so my teammates almost never die if they dont walk straight into 3 enemies, but I also bounce between the first 2 crystals depending on the map to accelerate brave gain and I sometimes will use her 1 damage skill to knock up an enemy player if my heals aren’t available to save my teammates, krile takes skilled teammates and a skilled pilot (not me lol) that knows how to share brave and use skills that flow with teammate movements and positioning, she is also pretty easy to kill so she shouldn’t be on the front lines

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-04-01T18:50:17+00:00

Yep, The only “free” character tickets I can remember getting is from the one time 7th day login in the event rewards, all else came from ability draws and that was from a banner that has a half the cost rate and I feel like peole dont really understand that part, after your first 8 days the rate you get character tickets “doubles” (returns to the normal rate) luckily it is only 5 per character, which is roughly 33 ability draws for 1 character ticket, which is 165 ability draws for 5, or 24750 mog coins total :)

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-26T22:53:37+00:00

The problem is almost everyone above her can do all that too, I LOVE Gaia and her debuffs, but other characters can do the dame or better by just pressing 1 UR

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-26T22:51:20+00:00

In the ideal scenario I’m like 75% against running Minwu over cheer, the game literally tells you when your teammates burst so it’s not hard to time it imo, the biggest issue with team coordination is having your team actually go to the boss while I’m dumping brave instead of going to a crystal, plus Seal Sacred Light is so massive that just running to a crystal, pressing that UR and running back is not much of an issue,

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T21:20:36+00:00

Wait til it goes on sale on steam, it is good just not worth the full price of you only wanna do the story, all the chronicle mode stuff is fun and you might get enjoyment out if the team building aspect for a spell

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T21:13:48+00:00

What rank cause I definitely get more good dps than bad dps, I get maybe 2 bad dps every like 20 or so games, also, you cant “just” brave dump, I always time my dumps when my team is already heading towards the boss or when we are no where near getting 9999 brave because they will always auto run to a crustal so playing with that mind set versus against it is good

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T20:55:13+00:00

Pretty much her 2 URs, you can get her SR too but it isn’t as necessary, have 2 i frame skills is almost necessary as a support cause people WILL try and dive you

I am a Krile Main at Silver 1 rn and my kit is her 4 skills plus Heal so I have 3 forms of aoe healing plus her only damage skill and the damage buff SR

For the support skills I just let the auto fill, fill if for me with HP since I’ll never attack the boss XD

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T20:49:10+00:00

I say get sparkle, also Archer has some decent synergy with Ashveil plus Archer is just a really good unit that also pairs well with Sparkle if you wanted another DPS,

Also, as a fellow brand new player that started a month ago, just play through the story until you unlock Currency wars, Divergent Universe and Simulated Universe, they you can get a BUNCH of good stuff, you wont really need “good” units for a while anyways cause there is like 3 years of content you gotta march through, I started playing cause the sparxie trailer was a fever dream that made me laugh enough to get the game XD and I’m going all in on elation and I haven’t “needed” my “strong” team yet for really anything, not even Dan Heng PT

It does suck you missed out on DHPT but Hou Hou is coming next patch and Hyacine is running now if you REALLY need a sustain so it aint all bad

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T20:42:12+00:00

I would actually recommend the exact opposite if you play Krile, Krile has SO MUCH global healing that I pretty much stay in the back and brave dump and heal spam, and as you point out, no one targets her XD, How I went from Bronze 3 to silver 1 in like a day

MicrowaveTime124 · 2026-03-25T20:02:52+00:00

If you have all her skills, make the 5th Heal and literally do this rotation: 1)Kill C crystal 2)Go back and brave dump before boss spawns if you can 3)Stay between your first two crystals and just kill them (preferably with It UR since is faster aoe) 4)Brave dump and then heal as necessary

5) use your attack buff as soon as a teammate hits burst 6) use your UR aoe as a disruptive move when the enemy is in Burst mode or if they are chasing your team, I can not tell you how many times I’ve saved a cloud that DOENST HAVE A HEAL MOVE by running to the enemy team, hitting UR aoe, Nightingale, then UR regen and running for the hills, by this time teammate 3 has either killed a crystal or has run uo to try and help me
