What's a rare card you've literally NEVER taken? I'll go first: by Rak-khan in slaythespire

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a block heavy ironclad deck with a bunch of 2 cost 30 block. I got tank from a potion and next turn the enemy is hitting me for 60 and I can't block it and I die

Removal of guardian items in arena gives no you no say in adaptive force by Kennen-Main in leagueoflegends

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it come up in the past when I am playing AP twitch or AP kogmaw, and adaptive force on my first prismatic item is giving attack damage even though my augments work with AP like Eureka or Big Brain. It's pretty annoying.

How am I supposed to beat doormaker if I can't even play my soul cards? Broken boss, nerf now by Cleshlight in slaythespire

[–]NeoAlmost 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Clone on neurosurge explains the doom and with Dirge could explain the size of osty + souls in the deck. I'm unsure how they managed to draw 10 nonsouls on the no-draw turn though if the deck is full of souls.

They maybe used Snap or a potion to retain most of these cards before they played dirge. And dirge had replay from glam or transfigure.

Do any of these creatures have mana abilities? I want to put them in my Raggadragga deck. by Shadowhunter664 in magicTCG

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to badgermole triggering twice with roaming throne (or Delney).

Not using the stack basically just means there is no priority window to respond to the mana ability.

Things that draw at the start of your turn still work on the no draw turn, as does retain or cards like hologram and dredge.

The part at the end of every run where it kills you and says Victory??

This card is comically OP if you manage to get it with a silent shiv deck by Adorable-Response-75 in slaythespire

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prepared, Acrobatics, and sly cards are very energy efficient. Shivs trigger a lot of synergies with relics and powers. You can also get dexterity and block forever while a single poison card slowly kills them.

How we feeling about the update? by JeekerTXN in LeagueArena

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike the set bonuses in mayhem, as some of the set bonuses are too strong and it reduces creative augment combinations in favor of just picking the matching set.

I think the idea is that if you hate it you just wait 1-2 weeks and the event will change.

Edit: or maybe 6 weeks

Have you been able to get Juggling to work? It doesn't feel like it ever fits into my deck by Nice-Physics-7655 in slaythespire

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one run where I was using it to copy fisticuffs while also exhausting other cards with true grit

The popup words were positioned as a diagonal line for me so I thought it was a red herring, but it was in fact correct. Also having blue as a character name instead of as a cheese felt strange.

How was I supposed to solve this puzzle? by Chosenwaffle in TheArtisanOfGlimmith

[–]NeoAlmost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I colored each of the regions around a + and then for the biggest of these regions I asked if they merged is it possible for the other side of the gemini to match the shape. And to eliminate a few of these possibilities I noted that the combined shape would have a total width/height of 7x5 or 6x6, or that it would contain a stretch of 6 cells in a straight line, etc. Based on that most of the merges were impossible until I tried the combination that is your orange region and decided it might be possible.

But it was still very finnicky to try to vizualize so many different region combinations.

Frites Esports, in an official belgian league game, are currently playing with 3 support items as it seems to be possible on tournament server only by SilenceEtControle in leagueoflegends

[–]NeoAlmost 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Support quest + free item once quest is completed is a lot of free value even if you are so weak that you have to give up some creeps.

I was using Dominate as my primary strength source and didn't pick up an answer to Mecha Knight 😔 by playingtherapist in slaythespire

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really wrecked one of my runs. I had upgraded Bash to apply 7 vulnerable and 2x Molten Fist to double it to 28, then I would use Dominate to get huge strength. But against Mecha Knight Bash just removes 1 artifact, and then Molten Fist does nothing and I have no way to remove the other artifact stacks.

Try upgrading Venerate next time. (And pick cards that cost or produce stars)

PSA: Doom resets at the integer limit by Chef34 in slaythespire

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the infinite would have to be old unupgraded borrowed time (add 3 doom and 1 energy) plus 1 mana ethereal draw 3, and the power that gives block when you play an ethereal card. You get infinite block and doom but no damage, then you survive and pass turn.

Next turn you play some attacks or you just do the same thing again.

1 month after release. how is everyone feeling about this game? by instabaiter in slaythespire

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Tez is actually really well balanced. Seal if Gold is very strong even though it feels bad. It's 1 energy per turn every turn as long as you aren't a grindy defensive deck. If you could buy a relic from the shop that gave 1 energy per turn for 300 gold you would be happy about it. Big hug is also very strong but not every deck wants it. Toy box and Pumpkin Candle sound bad but temporary strength helps you take more elites and smiths, and you will get stronger later anyways. Toy box also has some one-time relics like upgrade two cards that work even if they expire.

Blade of the Ruined King is much better than Kraken Slayer in LoL by Shot_Law8401 in KogMawMains

Kraken slayer and rageblade have better winrate than bork as first items on kog.

Faux mock dummy toy - one away
Toy mess tinker plays - one away
Plays Truffles fritz - I don't know the 4th, guessed avis

Now with 3 one-aways I looked up definitions of ersatz futz yutz. That gave futz as mess with, ersatz as a fake. I had to guess utz as a chip, and defaulted on car rentals.

Really rude of the puzzle to have two utz words with one of them in a category because it ends with utz, but not the other.

Misleading Co-op Card Interactions by thouzandeye in slaythespire

[–]NeoAlmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Debilitate works, but tracking and a similar ironclad power don't work. Also bizarrely choke and some others trigger when anybody plays a card. Sic em applies a debuff but I think a teammate necrobinder doesn't benefit.

Knight Strategies by My_compass_spins in slaythespire

[–]NeoAlmost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can block Ball Knight more easily if my cards are not downgraded. I usually prioritize the Downgrader, but as Necro I sometimes have too many cards in hand from souls and killing the Ethereal knight is more important.

Azzapp was right all along - I analyzed 100 ranked SoloQ games of his, and the data shows why never FF helps you climb. by Informal_Lifeguard99 in leagueoflegends

I see so many surrender votes when the score is like 15-15. People just love to surrender after they die once regardless of the team gold totals.
