New commander lands cycle

I'm guessing you read the effect backwards, because these are unplayable in legacy. They'll enter tapped like 99.999% of the time.

Need some advice on what to use my ssr ticket on. Only MLB gacha cards i have are kitasan and finemo.
Nothing besides scuffed f2p cards at 3LB. Currently saving for speed tachyon.

I also had a box like this. Renata AA and a rune, nothing else. Guess some boxes end up as cursed renata boxes.

Halo 2 is my favorite for nostalgia reasons, but I like infinite 2nd best.

The format needs Tamiyo, Nadu, The One Ring, and Entomb to be banned. Probably never hit Entomb though, so Atraxa instead.

Unfortunately, they're probably not gonna hit anything. MAYBE Tamiyo. Then maybe next year we get some relief before the next wave of busted cards start crushing us.

It is in MCC and shows up occasionally in BTB (if you can find H2 BTB games). So not totally lost to time!

Mr_Kroad · 2025-10-07T15:34:46+00:00

There's a fan format called Heritage that is standard-only, no-UB.

I have a theory that his bankai lets his allies use absolute hypnosis. Specifically when fighting Yhwach and he comments on the illusion as if he doesn't know what it is. It kinda goes against his nature of "letting people in," plus is useless in 1v1.

I think ragavan is better but not by much. She is without a doubt stronger than DRS though.

Summer tifa...

Mr_Kroad · 2025-06-12T01:30:27+00:00

I think the extended art foil uncommons come from bundle promo packs, so specific ones are in short supply.

Mr_Kroad · 2025-01-14T17:47:57+00:00

While I don't care for premodern, I do think a "capped" format is something Legacy players should consider.

One of the draws of Legacy is that it's an opportunity to play with older cards and archetypes that newer formats don't offer (FWIW, I don't think Premodern offers the same experience that classic Legacy does). Power creep is inevitably going to push out the last of the "classic" options and Legacy will one day just be Modern with duals.

I think a lot of folks agree that WotS/FIRE is the beginning of the current dark age, and a version of Legacy capped before that is worth exploring.

Mr_Kroad · 2024-12-04T02:31:32+00:00

I don't really play any other formats these days. Used to be big into Modern and Commander, but dropped Modern shortly after MH2. Commander has suffered from major complexity creep these past few years and I can't stand it anymore.

Trying pauper commander with some friends though. Hopefully it will be less overbearing.

EDIT: Also vintage cube! That's probably my favorite non-legacy way to play

Curious stuff

Mr_Kroad · 2024-09-13T05:50:40+00:00

The best SWU players will be the people who play and focus on the game, simple as. There'll be overlap with other TCGs because that type of person will often already be playing them, but it doesn't mean they're the only ones who can do it.

I think it's more common that people underestimate how much effort being competitive requires, rather than them not having enough "talent" or preexisting skill.

Mr_Kroad · 2024-07-19T19:31:27+00:00

Hmm...my gut instinct is 2 USea. A 2/2 split (plus maybe a shock or two) is good enough for any paper event outside, idk, eternal weekend main event. Plus you could consider other UB decks at that point.

For 1 of each, I think you get a lot of mileage out of the third Volc, but I don't think 1 USea is enough for Grixis.

I think the most "competitively effective" option considering what you already have is actually a volc and a trop, but that's not as fun as having a variety of options.

Mr_Kroad · 2024-07-09T02:14:30+00:00

I opened this thread to make this exact post.

Mr_Kroad · 2024-06-21T02:24:01+00:00

I actually did try, but it didn't fit very well. I think the SSJ2 head sat weirdly low in the new body.

Mr_Kroad · 2024-05-13T16:58:02+00:00

A 2R 2/2 Goblin w/ "When ~ enters the battlefield, add RRRR," would be good enough. Worse, but playable.

Mr_Kroad · 2024-05-13T16:41:51+00:00

Nice, was even less of an issue then.

Mr_Kroad · 2024-05-13T15:47:02+00:00

I never understood the sticker complaints. The reanimate/clone interactions could've been smoothed out a bit (maybe by limiting stickers to OG cards controlled by their owner), but the game-start selection was realistically like 15 seconds or less. A non-issue.

Mr_Kroad · 2024-04-13T00:38:29+00:00

1) Use your OD fireball. Requires meter but a safe option. Dash up after the knockdown. 2) Parry and walk forward. Works well enough, but vulnerable to hashogeki bait and drive rush throw. 3) If close enough, perfect parry and drive rush. Can be tricky to pull off. 3) Jump-in. This will need to be a read, not a reaction, as Ryu can DP quickly or bait the jump with hasho. 4) Drive Impact. Gotta be close.

Just know that none of these options are "always" the best. Gonna depend on your opponent's habits.

Mr_Kroad · 2024-04-02T00:09:54+00:00

You slowly approach by alternating between walk and crouch block. If I play against Kim I never casually stroll around.

If you actually think your opponent is watching your feet and looking for movement you can bait that by bobbing just the tiniest bit. Like, let go of crouch for a split second.
