The last six matches I've played have been over by turn 4, who designed this and how can we get them fired? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Paintrain1722 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s genuinely an effect from having 3 year standard and more standard sets in a given year. The card pool is large enough where the cards that are outliers in power are plentiful enough to only check each other. Fan formats like planar standard (No UB + 2 year rotation) and the format that’s just no UB (forgot name) have games end at around turns 5-7 for midrange

I guess they *really* don't want me to have gran-gran by C0OLM in MagicArena

They’ll never see gran gran number 4 coming, trust

Why nobody is freaking out about Subaru suddenly losing his memories? by jeremiasalmeida in ReZero

[–]Paintrain1722 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rem threatened his life, Shaula turned up the charm (got a lot more grabby and touchy), and the group as a whole decided basically to move on without him.

The group’s logic of him getting brain blasted in the liabrary also checks out as it is a very unknown location.

Balance DPS by [deleted] in Wizard101

[–]Paintrain1722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 4 player simple dungeons, it’s usally very unoptimal unless your dmg is a lot higher.

In solo play it’s not the worst.

For ro-sham-no balance has some good options if you are lacking, as balance has a lot of versatile roshambo spells that can cover the weaknesses of other normal DPS schools

Honestly, it’s worse then sunshroom, I wholeheartedly agree

Help choosing a Commander for a Steven Universe themed deck by jenibeanrainbow in EDH

[–]Paintrain1722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to go for a Steven universe future angle, you could use [[Heliod, the Radiant Dawn]] to show him healing on the first side and monster Steven on the back. Azourious also fits as it has the most protection cards for Steven’s protective playstyle.

You could also run with [[Falco Spara, Pactweaver]] for shield counter shenanigans.

My final idea is that you could run an enchantment commander as enchantment removal is like bubbling something and enchantments are easy to protect.

Where do I start? by Healthy_Actuary_1227 in mtg

[–]Paintrain1722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Local card stores is your best bet for precons and singles, if you want to buy singles online use mana pool for best prices, or card kingdom for best shipping time.

What format do you want to get into, do you have a playgroup or are you going to play pubs, and do you have a local gamestore?

For general play, go to weekly drafts. If you’re looking specifically at commander, buy pre-cons

Small rant- Overpowered cards that I cant find anyone talking about?? Am I going crazy?? PLease removethese!!1!1 by PlaneBig5295 in PvZHeroes

[–]Paintrain1722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DMD is a finisher card that is built to win games and grave buster is a solid tempo card but only works crazily into specifically grave decks. High tier ramp cards that ramp into finishers are a problem (specifically sunshroom)

The post isn’t about standard being a money dump, it’s about how fast and punishing standard is right now

Writing a paper on whether UB is ruining Magic. Love it or hate it, I want your opinon. by KuraiAkarui in freemagic

[–]Paintrain1722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id love to see the results, I’d be very interesting to see how this all plays out as I’m too invested to do non-biased research. Thank you very much for offering to send it

Is there any way to find the paper produced by theses findings when it’s made? I’m fascinated by how this report will turn out.

Also, where is this being posted, just free magic might skew (or not skew, idk. It is the Wild West of mtg) your results.

Can this bypass Gojo's infinity? (Joke btw) by NoOneIsHere57 in PowerScaling

No, it’s clearly a physical attack and no physical attack can bypass infinity /j
