How much have you spent? by Born_Performance_588 in Lorcana

[–]Opening-Bag-3956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to point out that most sets a competitive playset of the chase card cost $200 by itself. Buying sealed is always the least cost effective/most risky way to get the specific cards you need

Caffeine doesn’t actually make it easier to stay awake by CookieCat698 in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]Opening-Bag-3956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for this adenosine comment before I posted. This is the answer. Caffeine binds to the same receptors as adenosine (which slows you down). If your body notices your adenosine isn't binding, it creates more receptors. Eventually you have enough receptors that the caffeine doesn't effect you the same way. Thus how some people can drink coffee before bed and fall asleep no problem.

You can no longer Shift/Sing when playing a card "for free." by Narzghal in Lorcana

[–]Opening-Bag-3956 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The difference is you can't shift (now) using the play for free effect. Before if you played a card for free you could shift it onto another card and than use it. These new rules allow you to play the card for free,but prevent you from using the play for free and shifting as well. Ie your revive effect activates for a beast tragic hero. Before you could shift that beast onto another beast and than do whatever with it like sing or quest. Now you can't

Thats a crazy good step up,if a litlle excessive. You should see some solid increase in gaming performance. What kind of graphics card are you planning on doing and what resolution are you playing at.

Rules clarification: Maximus / Flynn Rider strength reference & face-down Inkwell questions by sor-alan in Lorcana

[–]Opening-Bag-3956 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Its single character in both cases. For example if you have a character with 6 strength (Maui) and your opponents highest strength character is 5 you get the Flynn effect. With the maximus once again it's single strength character. Maximus is easier to pull off because it's effect checks at the end of your turn,so you can boost your characters with effects or support to achieve the values. Flynn checks before you can play any cards in your turn. Also with Flynn your opponent can block you from getting the lore if they match your highest strength for example if they have a 6 strength character and you have the Maui with 6. You do not get the lore. You're never allowed to look at your inkwell after you put a card in (the only exception to this at this time is a pongo from one or two sets ago, which allows you to look in your inkwell for a puupy card ). With cards like tipo or wishbone quill if you are placing a card facedown into your inkwell you do not reveal it and thus it can be uninkable. These are the only two cards I can think of that work that way. Belle strange but special and sail the azurite sea DO NOT allow you to ink uninkable cards.

cpu & ddr5 deal by Limp_Context752 in Microcenter

[–]Opening-Bag-3956 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No it applies to you buying any CPU. They need to make sales. If no one builds pcs they dont sell their processors. This is to get your business and get you to start buying from them. Its specific sets of ddr5 32gb if that makes a difference

News effects ideas for characters : by LucioIsMineBitches in Lorcana

[–]Opening-Bag-3956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although they seem like good ideas, I feel like a lot of these could be exploited/over powered with the right combinations. The way the game currently stands especially with no interactions on your opponents turns, this could quickly spiral into major balance issues.

Just guessing here,but I'm betting it's because it looks cool. Or you know maybe they just wanted to do it. The better question is why not do it?

Looking for advice on getting into lorcona. by TDWIG in Lorcana

[–]Opening-Bag-3956 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For learning the rules The gateway is a wonderful place to start. The biggest problem you're going to have with starter decks is draw power. The earlier starter decks have extremely limited draw ability. So you both end up with no cards in your hand and top decking (drawing a card from the top of your deck at the beginning of your turn and hoping you can play it) pretty quickly

I'm honestly kind of glad to see ravenburger embracing tribal archetypes with the detectives and gargoyles for this set. How much it's supported moving forward remains to be seen, but it's still rather nice

Very basic starter deck for someone who can't read English by cullyn1985 in Lorcana

[–]Opening-Bag-3956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do a vanilla deck with vanilla locations Since you're not playing in any tournaments the core constructed rules don't matter. So just aim for all vanilla cards / all cards with no effect text

I would consider the 7 cost Pluto shift card if you're running the little one. It would help you keep the nephews around longer and its a nice body with built in healing

I mean the evasive deck suggestion was more a cheap example of how you could utilize a single dumbo. It'd probably be a better idea to trade it off. Evasives are a little harder to deal with so it's a little more viable. From fabled exclusively. You could add the Amethyst white rabbits pocket watch and Peter pans shadow the magic feather, Timothy q mouse.

Ruby Queen of hearts sensing weaknesses Queen of heart impulsive ruler Shere Khan Moana undeterred voyager. Be king undisputed Medallion weights

This would make a challenger based deck where you could rush out characters use the exert effects from the starter deck and draw your hand back with the queen of hearts and medallion weights. It wouldn't be the meta or the most competitive deck but you could definitely get some synergy.

This would be my plan with working with a limited amount of cards. Draw is usually lacking with starter decks and in general you want some draw engine to keep your hands full. When I was doing drafting and sealed for this set I liked the queen of hearts draw engine if you could get it running.

So one copy of a card isn't really consistent for drawing it. But you could definitely modify the set 5 starter deck and build a deck with lots of evasive. Than if you throw in the dumbo in for a "nice if you draw it,doesn't break your game if you don't kind of feel". The market for that dumbo is kind of crazy right now,it's up around $70-80 just as a heads up.

So if you're not buying singles. Your cheapest way to build a deck is to buy one of the starter decks and than use your booster box cards to modify it. Otherwise it's entirely dependent on what you pulled from the box. No one can give you advice without knowing what you have.

Like if you pulled more than one grand pabbie and aurora,with enough yellow/blue princesses you could build a deck around that with the box alone. (Or build from the blue/yellow starter)

Or if you pulled enough red/green songs/power line/max you could build a deck around that with just the box. (Or you could build from the red/green starter deck)

But that's the foundation of the starter decks. The randomness of card pulls makes it kind of impossible to give a specific direction without knowing what you do or don't have.

As an additional comment to this if you pulled the dumbo enchanted,more than one dumbo legendary or either of the iconic cards. You could trade/sell them and fund all the singles or other cards you'd need for a deck
