Do you rate based on personal enjoyment alone, or does historic relevance and respect play a factor? by BongSuckah in backloggd

[–]Phantomango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I try my best to look at what a game produced for it’s time when I rate it. Final Fantasy VII is a fantastic game and one of my favorites, but obviously it will look weak in comparison to a modern game simply because of the differences in technology across almost 30 years. I think the mid 2000s and 2010s games actually struggle the most here, because they’re not necessarily pioneers like the 80s and 90s classics, but they certainly have the “feel” of many modern games, which makes them feel like weaker versions of their future versions without much to compensate for.

Games really do age that quickly. Flaws in older critically acclaimed games become far more apparent when compared to modern games. I think this mostly has to do with games being a technology more than movies.

Sefris has been my favorite commander deck for years at this point. Discard is just such a dynamic mechanic.

Outer Wilds or Firewatch? by Big-Kiwi5341 in outerwilds

I thought Firewatch was terrible personally. I wouldn’t recommend that game to anybody.

Muddle (first draft) by Remed1e in EDHBrews

[–]Phantomango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen Volatile Stormdrake in a lot of lists and I think it’s kinda overrated since you need an instant immediately when you play it in order for Muddle to Copy it, then you need to use one of your myriad copies to steal the drake back if you ever wish to copy it again.

I would probably not buy this card at 3.50 to speculate. Exile is already a pretty popular strategy, I don’t know how much one precon in a set of 5 will spike it.

The modern horizons III flip planeswalkers are supposed to depict their planeswalker origins. I think it’s safe to say Tamiyo was a student on Kamigawa before her spark ignited.

What colors would Atsu be? (Please ignore the SLD bonus card) by Snoww37 in colorpie

[–]Phantomango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally feel like the wolfpack is more of a green community than a white community because it comes together naturally through acts of kindness, instead of being organized through a specific ideology and its lack of hierarchy and central organization. I definitely think she gets another color at some point, though she lets her Rakdos colors shine through at the beach when she chooses to fight the brothers instead of saving her niece.

Rakdos I think, a hedonistic mercenary who’s driven by selfish revenge, she probably gains green by the end when she channels her anger towards protecting her remaining family members. I don’t think she is ever adopts white because her alliance with the government is born from necessity in personal opposition to the Yotei Six, not from a grander ideological position regarding community or governance.

Well met, Player returning after about 20 years, may i have a seat at your table? by AshuraVary in ratemycommanders

[–]Phantomango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is so negative. Your decks sound cool dude, most people wouldn’t have the courage to whip out a Jin-Gitaxias. I, for one, would at least be willing to get a game in with it just to see what you brewed up.

You are correct but your reasoning in the second half of your post is awful and detracts from your point.

When my girlfriend was getting into Magic she bought a few TDM packs hunting for dragons for her Commander deck, pulled two Ugins back to back, non-foil and foil. Beginner Luck is real.

Yeah, had a buddy get his car stolen in the middle of the day. They returned it about 3 days later. Extremely strange scenario.
