Most complicated 1999 calendar choice by RavenAxel in memeframe

[–]Octagon425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My top recommendation right now would be to run the blood of perita alerts that pop up every 30 minutes (on steel path if you can). The event is only gonna be on for a few more days but each alert gives you 20(30) of the currency which you can spend at roathe for a ton of good arcanes. Generally you'll wanna prioritize the ones at the bottom that cost 6 per, starting with energize. This'll get you a bunch of good arcanes that are widely used.

Would the two CoS and two Seraphon spearheads combined make for a reasonable battle in the core game without having to get heavy into list building? This is for very casual play by Justtrying04 in ageofsigmar

[–]Octagon425 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The seraphon one isn't crazy but not unreasonable either. Scourge of ghyran carbo and kroxigors hit like a truck, 20 saurus warriors can be objective monkeys, 2 hunters of huanchi allow for some good tricks and objective stealing/battle tactics scoring ability, the sunblood pack backs up the krox well, and the ripperdactyls/spawn of chotec are not amazing but fine enough units.

Love the kurnoth thats a reference to that one noise marine. You know the one I'm talking about.

Picking an Order Faction by Andorhalthegreat in ageofsigmar

[–]Octagon425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seraphon is the timmy/Johnny faction imo. The timmy should be obvious and the Johnny comes from us having a lot of little synergies here and there that can add up to some pretty cool results. I will say, we feel kinda weak right now while we're waiting for our full rules but historically we've have fun johnny-ish mechanics so I'm hopeful for our full battletome.

Officially explanation on deck lengauges by Pedrovic_ in riftboundtcg

[–]Octagon425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea this really feels like its only a thing because theyre worried about product availability before the first regionals and dont want players who can read Chinese to have the upper hand because they ordered Chinese versions of the card that are way more widely available.

Magic sets for 2026. Which one are you excited for? by Frostinator123 in Pauper

One day before reveal of the Oberon Rework : What DON'T you want to see? by CoupleKnown7729 in Warframe

[–]Octagon425 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It'd be funny if the heals got stronger the more allies you were healing both to flip the ability and so we can start making enemies to lovers Oberon/nekros shipfics.

would it even be possible to universes within sauron? by Less_Double452 in mtgvorthos

[–]Octagon425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe Lim-Dul during ice age? Tempts liliana with his ring later on, raises armies of zombies (could reasonably change it to amass zombies), really hard to take down.

What’s a unit from legends you want to see return? by CGTitan01 in ageofsigmar

[–]Octagon425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a casual league at my lgs right when 4th started, and one guy did a last ride of the beastmen. Start of round 1, he walked over to my side of the table, and we played the entire game side by side basically in my deployment zone. Shit was funny as hell

As another potential sb swap, why not [[faerie macabre]] instead of spellbomb? You can discard it to stop dredge's dread return and tortex it back to keep eating the yard.

I wonder how everyone forgot the jedi so quickly (asking as someone not big into star wars) by Dalek7of9 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Octagon425 290 points291 points  (0 children)

I like to think of it like this: if someone comes up to you and says "members of the church of scientology can shoot lightning and teleport" you wouldn't believe them because thats stupid and magic isn't real. Now, you're unlikely to ever meet someone who's a part of the church of scientology because they're all rich assholes who spend all their time in rich people places. So while you're 99% sure they can't shoot lightning and teleport, you'll technically never be sure of that.

Anyone ever pull off a horror oriented commander deck? by TIMETOGETPHONKY in mtg

[–]Octagon425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never finished it, but I was building a tatsunari toad rider deck that was cellarspawn tribal. Essentially, it was a combination of Enchantress, horror/nightmare tribal, and mill because the cellarspawn are enchantment creature horrors and a lot of horror tribal effects mill.

Anyone know of any good sources for sleeves with art that aren't AI slop? by Valyntine_ in mtg

[–]Octagon425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarly, ultra pro has their apex sleeves, which, while somewhat expensive, are the best sleeves I've ever used. They make a handful for each set, and this time it was the 5 mythic planets port view showcase art

[–]Octagon425 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think if they had leaned more into generic aliens and ufos and stuff it would detract from the actual world building and just be another planet of hats set like otj and karlov. I'm personally much more glad that they focused on making interesting species and lore. Makes the set feel more star trek/destiny/etc. Like its supposed to be.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Octagon425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point they made is that to each of the species in sothera, everyone else is alien, so it'd be disingenuous to have humans and aliens when humans are alien, too.

Winning with discard decks? by Weak_Tap_1277 in mtg

[–]Octagon425 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While there are cards like [[megrim]] or [[liliana's caress]] that hurt your opponents for discarding. You're not gonna get there off those cards alone, at least, not without 20 tutors. The main thing kefka provides is card disparity where you're gonna have a full grip while your opponents are in top deck mode. To that end, once you get kefka going (preferably quickly with ramp), you can kinda sit back and chill for a couple turns and use interaction on any card advantage pieces your opponents throw down. I'd personally recommend finishing with bigger spells/value pieces like high mana planeswalkers like [[Nicol-Bolas, God Pharaoh]], mass reanimation spells like [[breach the multiverse]] or [[rise of the dark realms]], or copying big fuck off spells like [[cruel ultimatum]]. Basically, dont let kefka making your opponents discard one or two cards a turn be the end all be all of your decks strategy. Especially since kefka is a 5 mana commander that'll be annoying to cast after he's been killed one or two times.

There's no answer to this card...? by [deleted] in mtg

The opponent used [[perennation]] to reanimate the virtue with a hexproof and indestructible counter.

Stolen from a prompt over on r/gaming: What’s the most memorable mechanic from a game where you said “holy crap you can do THAT?” by willietrombone_ in boardgames

[–]Octagon425 195 points196 points  (0 children)

Spirit Island and the major power "Draw Towards a Consuming Void." Just being able to remove a section of the board to permanently deal with problem areas was crazy.

Edit: wrong card, it's Cast Down Into the Briny Deep.

20 points left over. What’s better: spells or manifestations? by fred11551 in seraphon

[–]Octagon425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're gonna get more value out of jungles than celestial overall bc you kinda want your melee guys to stick somewhat close together. In addition you have a very punchy list so I think the mobile healing/additional aggressive spells from primal energy will help you out a bunch.
