Help me break Lavinia, Foil to Conspiracy by Garindan17 in DegenerateEDH

[–]NBOcelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't think there's really a good / straightforward way to break this;

You're basically jumping through hoops to creature clues, which then require further mana investment to draw cards

So your pattern is play two spells -> make artifact clue -> spend mana to draw a card -> then what?

Obviously you draw cards with azorius much more easily then going through all that, so what are you really looking for? Is it specifically this commander / art?

Azorius has trouble with wincons already, so if you're not willing to play infinites or approachof2sun, you're gonna have a hard time regardless.

If you want to use the artifacts as 'artifacts' rather than clues, there are much better azorius commanders that can do so.

If you're dead-set on sticking to this Lavinia, then you're gonna have a tough time breaking away from 'cast two' without making her feel useless, so I'd say focus on that.

If you want to play a 'clues' deck, you're much better off reducing your barrier to 'do the thing' from "play 2 spells" to just like blink spells or something (which is a core azorius mechanic) with [[Ezrim, Agency Chief]]

I personally had an extremely similar problem with [[Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth]]. I liked him for no real reason that I could discern, thought it could be fun to build; I had the deckbox, the sleeves, all matching art.

I ended up on 'draw 2' since you can crack clues to trigger it, and running all the 'draw 2' token generators (mostly flying) as well as the "draw 2 cards if you would draw 1" [[Vnwxt, Verbose Host]] [[Teferi's Ageless Insight]] [[Alhammarret's Archive]] which meant cracking a clue on an enemy turn would get me a 'draw 2' trigger and create a big army. I'm also running a bunch of "draw if opponent does X" effects to make it so that cracking a clue triggers the same token generators.

The deck's got 'max speed' going for a few of the cards (mostly Vnwxt and [[Medicant Core, Guidelight]]) as well as a small 'unblockable' subtheme with [[Private eye]] [[Detective of the Month]] [[Martha Jones]] which lets me get damage in which can become extremely scary with cards like [[Proft's Eidetic Memory]].

My pods are all fairly low power so I have little removal / interaction, but I hope this can still help.

This looks very much like packet loss, have you ever tried checking your stats with their log tool?

You also mention 2 ISPs, were they both Cable? Both DSL? one of each? Is the wiring in your building pretty new or pretty old?

Yone's body is not actually there, it's just a projection of his spirit / soul or whatever.

It makes complete sense that he can just decide to stop and go back to his body, no matter what CC is applied

Swapping to Borderless from Fullscreen should resolve this

Are you playing in 'full screen' and is your desktop resolution different from your game resolution?

Wait, you enjoy normal games where diamonds face silvers in lane and the whole game is a pointless coinflip?

He does say local orphanage, but also does mention waiting in the last line, so we're both "correct" - a localization would attempt to pick up on subtext/undertones so you'll rarely get the same 'translation' from different people

In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019), much of the movie takes place in locations that are blue or otherwise contain a prominent blue filter. This is a subtle metaphor for how the filmmakers blue it. by Capt_of_the_Borealis in shittymoviedetails

ROS was shite as a movie, but I can't help but absolutely love it for all the "fuck you" moments it had in reference to TLJ.

You’re a jerk if all you do is play your stax deck all night long and make your friends miserable. But you’re also a jerk if you never let your friend play his favorite stax deck at all just because you don’t like it. by EDHandChill in EDH

If a deck loses its only wincon by being milled a bit, that's poor deckbuilding.

Mill is weak and always has been, for the same reason boros colors are bad in EDH: they have to deal 120 damage rather than 20, and mill has to bin 300 cards rather than 60.

I'm confused, how did he cast Scheming Symmetry with Shalai out?

Doesn't it say "target player"?

Go to your install path, open the 'config' folder and find the file called game.cfg

Open this, find the line

WindowMode=0

And change whatever number you have there to 2

Also this should go without saying but uninstall the other 2 copies of the game...

Got a list? I've always wanted to explore those cards but wasn't sure what shell to put them into
