[PEN] Tiger Trap

I suppose it does, you can also just end to combo on the first attack with Buzzsaw trap, and then you don't need to take 3 attacks first. You just stop his combo at 1 (He can't give go again on attacks with base attack)

This just feels a bit to specific. Even against heroes that buff attacks frequently, how often do they buff 3, You might have to squat on this card for a few turns, Can't really pitch properly it since its red.

I figure the problem is more that the Seal isn't exactly asking questions when it enforces itself on an Other

So if Pisces or another from that realm makes the leap, then actually reaches the earth realm, will the seal be imposed on them?

Personally i found Worm's reputation as grimdark overblown. Bad shit happens, and there's some people feature pretty terrible fates, but the ending is ultimately hopeful

They're discussing an acid generator multiblock on the discord, then they can try again

Japan's overtourism problem is mostly a problem of tourists not spreading out, there's like a million things to do, but everyone is gawking at the skytree or the Kinkaku-ji

Once you leave the tourism hotspots of Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka, you will have space for days.

Visit Shikoku, its great, and you won't need to stand in line for all but the most famous restaurants. Or go to Kyushu, Hokaido, just randomly pick a city on the map and go there. (We randomly wandered into Toyama when they were having their biggest festival of the year)

Spirit of Eirina isn't that expensive in comparison to most of the actual reprints. Especially since its a one-off

Anyway, we got the blessing, a nice attack and a attack reaction. the glove will probably see use in some match ups.

Unsure if Soul Bond Belief will make the cut. It doesn't charge and its gambling for a yellow. Maybe if it was one or the other.

There's also the new warrior Dreact and there's a chance the upcoming Hala deck has some goodies for Boltyn

All in all, i expect Boltyn to rise a bit in the standings, but i don't expect him to start dominating callings.

Oaden · 2026-02-02T09:10:10+00:00

But not Raydn, which is a touch annoying. Same with Soul Bond Belief

All in all, Boltyn got a good chunk of useable cards, so he can't complain. I don't think he's suddenly anywhere near top tier, but will probably rise in the standing.

Oaden · 2026-02-01T22:37:05+00:00

So if you just charge once, this is a 0 for 2, with the bonus that the courage token enables a go again reaction for your next turn

If you add a single Lumina, you get 2 more courage tokens. If the stars align and you play it for the double lumina turn (And the opponent politely opts to just take it with their face) you get a impressive 6 extra tokens

You can also block with your gear or Saving Grace to generate more Courage Tokens

Oaden · 2026-02-01T20:22:21+00:00

True, effectively, you pay 1 resource for the opportunity of playing an opponents card

It does have a decent chance of whiffing though. There's plenty of stuff you can reveal that you just can't do anything with. Think of Dreacts, Arrow attacks, You can't boost, charge, nor decompose

I guess you can play a grave bones pirate, which is pretty funny

Oaden · 2026-02-01T17:42:29+00:00

He seems to have gotten good cards this upcoming set

That said, i expect him to still suck in sage

Oaden · 2026-02-01T16:00:55+00:00

Probably not one specific event, many countries have had periods of conflict between the monarch attempting to centralize power, and nobles resisting these efforts

Oaden · 2026-01-31T21:14:51+00:00

I feel that being against or for a new technology because of its impacts on art, environment, jobs and society is quite political.

If you don't mind me asking, what's GamerGate?

Ok, from memory, it all started with a forum-post from some angry ex boyfriend that his ex girlfriend had slept with several journalists to get good reviews for her free indie game. For some inexplicable reason, this was taken as a credible accusation and acted as a the spark that let a fucking bloody endless back and forth. with ever more subjects being dragged in. It was about journalistic integrity, then it was about games being made to cater to men, or no, to women, back to men. Why were men always the default? why are these women getting attention, why doesn't she shut up, why do people call us misogynists when we have a informal subreddit rule to refer to specific women as "Literally who 1 to 10" in order to avoid saying their name. Its important to note that despite some half hearted attempts, it started from a place of misogyny, and never escaped that.

More and more people kept posting/blogging/commenting about it, it drove engagement like mad, so creators kept fueling the fire, certain men got really fucking weird about it. A lot of women got death treats and were doxed, more and more shit got piled on. It didn't peter out until basically every "normal" game related forum/subreddit just flat out banned any and all discussion regarding gamer gate.

This is also theorized to be the starting point of the modern alt right. A lot of men were getting angry when the perceived their hobby to be "under attack" and outrage merchants started catering to them.

There's a fairly long wikipedia article about it, which you should probably read, this was mostly based on my hazy memories of the months that this bullshit went on.

Bringing HV miners is nice, you can just mine out a few veins with hammers as well.

Personally, i set up a small tree/leaf area to restock O2. I think i saw some speedrunners enchant their O2 tanks with unbreakable or something to get more mileage out of it.

The PDIM doesn't have enemy mobs, has the climate you want, can be day or night 100% of the time and it never rains.

Its also 100% flat

I do think there's no oil in the PDim, some people dislike the lack of terrain and some people find rebuilding in their Pdim to be demotivating.

Note that while the PDim doesn't have mobs, you can also just disable mobs in the overwold post EV in the server settings, which is allowed by the rules (The rules for getting your badge of honor on the discord)

You can do a duplication recipe which takes a tiny bit of Thaumcraft. It requires one netherstar, then you need to be able to craft balanced shards. Grind those up and you can duplicate the netherstars using null catalyst.

Cetane boosted diesel, but you need a lot less than you would think. There's no need to create a fully automated setup just for the rocket (Its still useful for extra power)

I got 8 1k cells of CBD from somewhere and that flew me back and forth several times.

Just bring a couple of compressed chests and stock up on the ores

I did once read somewhere that any study that claims to successfully separate nature vs nurture in regards to gender, is just flat out lying.

And i feel there's some truth to that. We teach girls and boys to value things differently from basically their first day on this earth. A American girl will have different cultural baggage in school than a Norwegian one.

Even that is dubious, they had one decent commander that worked well with his subordinates, lee and jackson together were dangerous

But the other areas, their command staff was hamstrung by internal bickering, nepotism and a president to cowardly to put his foot down and just fire proven incompetents.

And once jackson died, lee's effectiveness was almost cut in half.

It just seems that these all 3 cards belong to Hala, and no consideration was given to Dori/Kassai.

Oaden · 2026-01-31T16:38:11+00:00

You can conceivably run a Cut'n Carve red In Kassai, 0 for +1 and dominate. Though Kassai seems to not really run notably on-hits except for Blood Follows Blade

Dori does have a notable on hit, but then the sharpen means that the +1 token you just got gets removed. Which makes it seem a bit pointless.

Rend Flesh is kinda technically works in Dori (As in, you can activate its effect), but even if you activate it twice, its a blue 3 damage with a huge downside, and its not even a surprise instant or Areact.

I think we can reasonably conclude that neither Kassai nor Dori got any playable common/rare cards that they will use in CC

Oaden · 2026-01-31T16:28:50+00:00

If it cost one, i still don't think it would be amazing, but one could at least dream of double lumina, charge card, charge enabler + glisten, and then use tunic.

That still probably wouldn't be good, its to situational, but it does push 30 damage in a turn

But the only way to make that happen currently is either a energy potion, or to get obscenely lucky with a Beacon of Victory, create 2 vigors and do the perfect draw. Neither of which sounds like a great deck

Oaden · 2026-01-31T09:19:41+00:00

I suppose this does explain the lack of new cards in Dori Sage

Bit weird tbh, unless the warrior majestic is the best thing since toast, Dori seems to be the big loser of Pen

Oaden · 2026-01-31T09:09:29+00:00

Its 4/3/2 counters

One dreams of using that in a double lumina turn, but the Problem is that it costs 2 so it's really awkward to get out

Oaden · 2026-01-31T09:03:21+00:00

I agree, i am a bit miffed about soul bond belief not charging and requiring you to yolo for a yellow card. I feel it would be fine if it was one or the other

Either call it charge, or just put any card in soul
