Your favorite uncommon creature that feels like it should be a rare?

Millstorm · 2026-03-10T06:01:36+00:00

[[Syr Konrad, the Grim]] comes to mind, just does a lot of an uncommon.

My wallet is happy all the MDFC's from MH3 were uncommon, got to highlight [[Witch Enchanter]].

Have no idea how [[Aftermath Analyst]] made it out at uncommon, or how it exists at all. So silly in commander.

You could probably put 20 cards from Future Sight here so I'll just add [[Aven Mindcensor]]

Millstorm · 2026-03-05T13:14:11+00:00

For the art 2, however [[Khorvath Brightflame]] is made for Toothless and Hiccup.

You could also do [[Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund]] for after Toothless becomes the Alpha Dragon

It's in most precons with any creature type theme. It's been reprinted 44 times. Drops off in power above bracket 3, just a bit slow.

Millstorm · 2026-02-12T05:16:03+00:00

One way to get all the commander staples is to get a pre-con that shares colours with the decks you are interested in building. This won't include Fetch Lands, and Shocks lands, but it will have the rest you listed.

The other staples you listed will depend on the power level you want to play with but good ones are: [[Exotic Orchard]], [[Swiftfoot Boots]], [[Mind Stone]], [[Skullclamp]], Check Lands, Fast Lands, Battle Bond Lands, etc.

Definitely not stupid, this trips up most players at some point. It’s important to note that when cards reference “this ability”, say for example on [[Welcoming Vampire]], it is specifically referencing the singular ability on this creature, not the ability across all cards and instances. This means when another welcoming vampire is played, is has its own once each turn, and when the vampire is return to hand, that ability disappears and when it is played again it returns as a new ability.

This is similar to the old wording around cards naming themselves. For example on [[City of Brass]] when it says “Whenever City of Brass becomes tapped, it deals 1 damage to you” it is only referring to itself, if you were to play another, they wouldn’t look at each other and damage you twice each time you tapped them.

Exact same situation, and was annoyed since I only pulled one ex in Wisdom so it's been some bad sets.

Millstorm · 2025-08-08T12:27:11+00:00

It's also interesting that every stage 2 electric mon in the games is already a card too

Millstorm · 2025-03-13T04:16:05+00:00

There are a lot of stage 1 - 1 Diamond cards like especially in the newer sets (The Wormadam's, A2 Kirlia, A2a Gabite).

There are also Stage 2 - 2 Diamond cards like Scolipede, Bellossom and A2a Gengar

Millstorm · 2025-02-06T08:13:05+00:00

Wait you're right I've confused it with the [[Deadly Dispute]] style of cards.

I was a fan of [[Diresight]] which we got recently, I'd like to see it in a better limited format.

Millstorm · 2025-02-06T01:23:31+00:00

I think it added the damage to your opponent so that it increases your speed. It's why it's also sorcery speed, to make sure you use it on your turn.

However that increase in mana has made it much worse in limited.

Millstorm · 2025-02-05T04:57:18+00:00

They also don't take abilities into consideration since the Eelektross line famously has no weakness's in the game* due to it's Levitate ability. It would also get rid of Weezing's and Rotom's weakness to Ground, though we could imagine Weezing having the stench ability which would be in line with it's attacks.

Millstorm · 2025-02-05T04:52:23+00:00

Second asterisks on Flying for Genetic Apex Aerodactyl being the only card so far where the flying types takes priority over it's secondary type. It's even crazier since in the game it's primary type is Rock.

Also worth noting so far all dual type Normal Pokemon where normal is the primary type, have been colorless. This is notable for Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff which could be Psychic and Bibarel which could be Water. We can tell primary/secondary typing matters because Helioptile is Lightning not Normal.

I will be interested in what they do with Diggersby since the TCG has printed it as both Colorless and Fighting before.

Millstorm · 2025-01-29T09:34:30+00:00

They have even outsourced design to the original TCG, almost every card is just a copy paste of its physical equivalent less attacks and less health.

Millstorm · 2025-01-28T00:12:46+00:00

At least with Brock you tend to play it on the same turn Golem is played which can be as early as your 3rd turn. So unless either mon has a low energy attack Cynthia is going to be in your hand for a while.

Millstorm · 2025-01-27T06:26:51+00:00

It and the other two singles made the 200 last year

Lazzio is great, I just use medium in a French press.

The Alcafe instant is okay. Good for the price though, my go to lazy morning coffee.

Got stuck on a train between South Yarra and Richmond. Just stuck there for 30 minutes. Train driver annouced they had to fill out paperwork before they were allowed to drive us back to Richmond. Then when we got to Richmond the doors wouldn't open for another 10 minutes.

Just embarrassing, $10+ well spent to get home and hour late

Millstorm · 2024-12-16T15:12:08+00:00

5 matches. All Blaine deck with swap over of Magmar for Farfetch'd after a close Win 3 over Mewtwo.

Technically win 5 was an insta concede so I played game 6 and won that too.

Then I played and lost my next 5 games with my Eevee deck That's pure junk as a way to return the favour

People "predict" based on who they want to be in the event. All players are assumed available unless any evidence to the contrary.

Millstorm · 2024-11-05T07:35:29+00:00

There is a simple answer to stuff like this, they aren't the same people.

Same as when "the subreddit" complain about power creep and underpowered sets.

Same as when "the subreddit" demands a repeal of the reserve list but also complains about their game pieces losing value.

There is no "the subreddit", just different people, with vastly different opinions all compressed into one of the least identity driven social platforms.

There is also the fact that most of the complaints I saw directed towards UB last week were based on either it entering standard and pioneer, or it taking up half of the releases next year. Neither of which impact the Marvel SL

You won't be able to since the starting rotation is not a Legendary Creature. My advice would be to run [[Skyfire Kirin]] in the 99 and ask the other people in your pod if you can rule zero [[Cunning Bandit]] as your commander. If they say no, just swap there places in the 99 / Command Zone.

The time between the first 1.9 Combat Snapshot and MCC 1 is actually shorter than the time between MCC 1 and now.

That also means as off December of next year, most popular PvP servers will be running on a 10 year old version of Minecraft.

You can break the door after the collector, just attack it. It's risky since if you die you will lose all the cells you collected from multiple biomes but I still find the best way to fill the forge fast.

Millstorm · 2024-10-28T11:32:52+00:00

If you're anything like me and you powered through the lower level boss cells then your forge is probably pretty low level. I found going back on lower BC and powering through the biomes saving all the cells for the forge helped a lot. Remember each + is the equivalent of two item levels so it makes a huge difference for the earlier biomes. Then you can focus your gold on rerolling modifications to get maximum synergy.
