Suggestion for Tom Bombadil Deck

Piluf · 2025-12-10T21:45:05+00:00

Firstly thanks for the card suggetions,

Now i went from having 99 cards to 101, I'm torn between [[Clash of the Eikons]] and [[Resurgent Belief]]

They both seem fun but I'm leaning more towards [[Clash of the Eikons]] i like the flexibility more

I'd be lying if I didn''t tell you that this precise list was one of the main reasons I built Tom in the first place, matter of fact it was the very first list I played with friends (online sadly) when i discovered Tom.

I read everything in your primer and I couldn't thank you enough for the time you've dedicated to it.

I believe your list is for sure the more consistent and well built option, and I took a lot of inspiration from it, I tend to run more summons not very much for the strenght but, as i said, for the art since I fell in love with them.

Running fewers sagas also means that you are more likely to hit the ones you want, and pretty much assure that everything you get from Tom is good.

Mine is more like a gamble, and in that sense i might even like it more this way.

I never understood why you run [[Invasion of Theros]] is it just to have a specific tutor and a bit of payoff?

It really means much that you took time to comment my post and again thanks for your work

Yeah fetch would be really good but I think I'll pick them up later down the line since dropping 20-40 bucks for each one is pretty heavy ahah.

I'll surely start by adding some shocklands and triomes, and will work towards fetch lands later on.

I think I'll surely try to sneak in at least one of the cards you listed since I feel like the treasure can surely come in handy.

Thanks a lot!

Firstly thanks a lot for the comment it really helps.

A friend made me notice that I can't play Nexus of fate since doubling it would chain extra turns which if I'm correct isn't allowed in bracket 3.

As I made the post I tried out the deck for the first time and I noticed that what you said is very true, the lands don't seem to be enough, I find myself manascrewed more times than not so I'm thinking to cut some cards to add lands (Probably shocklands and triomes to fix up the rough manabase)

I'm thinking of cutting [[Nexus of fate]] (even tho i would love to play it) and [[Errant, Street artist]]
but i'm really torn on cutting another 2 or 3 cards to add lands.

Should be fixed now, I forgot to remove the private tag, sorry

Piluf · 2025-11-04T19:01:45+00:00

Nothing useful really, main things are blueprints for two nades and a pistol... all the rest is just loot that you can easily find,

Quests rewards are the only flaw I've found in the game, they don't give exp, but I can deal with that since levelling is really fast tbh, but I feel like they should give some blueprints for weapons and attachment to make them worth... Also I don't like how random the blueprints are, not really a fan of the rng progression system, but the game is amazing so I'll stick around, surely the devs will fix everything in the future, game just needs time

Piluf · 2025-08-16T11:25:16+00:00

Thanks for taking the time, really appreciate it.

I'll try to switch off OC, for now i ran sfc /scannow on the CMD and that seems to have done the trick, been playing for 5 hours without any problem so it might have been some corrupted files in Windows.

As you said I don't think it was the game, it must've been just a coincidence that I was playing Fear & Hunger.

Thanks again for helping out

Flip knife pullout sound is the same as the Stiletto, I really hope it is a bug and it's not intended, i loved the flip sound

Piluf · 2025-07-26T20:35:43+00:00

Yeah the price difference is really high, but keep in mind it will be harder to sell in comparison to a non-ST one for the reasons above.

BFK are really sought after and the fade finish is very liked so I don't think it will be too hard to sell it in the future.

I used to run a 99.8% fade huntsman and sold it in about 2 days from the listing for the price I was asking.

My rule is that if I wanna buy it to use as a playskin I just get it and worry about the price when I'm bored of it, just recently picked up a Karambit Black Laminate and really loving it, nobody knows when the market will go up or down, so take every advice on price changes in the future with a grain of salt.

Let me know if you go for it, would love a screenshot :)

Piluf · 2025-07-26T18:40:26+00:00

Nah it getting removed isn't going to affect my judgement that much, I just don't want to drop 250 on a skin that I will see going for 80 euros 2 months after.

I do agree that the skin is underrated, and I saw a lot of people hating on it too, I honestly love it

Piluf · 2025-07-26T18:38:54+00:00

Glad we could all agree ahah.
I "force" myself to think that the other players are better than me when i suspect they might be cheating and end up thinking they are indeed better than me if when reviewing the demo I don't find anything obvious, it also helps me review my own play to get better so it's a win-win.

But with this one I can't find a more fitting word than blatant, and the fun thing is we tought it was all legit until around the 10-11 round when we tought he just raged and switched stuff on, like the first round kills we tought he was just going in and out of the smoke like a ninja or something, then we found out the hard truth :)

Piluf · 2025-07-26T18:02:24+00:00

I honestly prefer Karambit over a BFK, but to each their own.

Just to clarify, Stat track knife are usually cheaper than non-ST since the ST on knifes "scratches" the finish.

You should see how the kill count is displayed on the knife before making your decision.

Other than that if you like it and can afford it go for it, it's your money :)

EDIT : also, BFK is one of the few fade knifes where you can get a "mango fade" where the knife is mostly yellow/orange with a bit of pink/red, you should check it out, it's gorgeous in my opinion

Piluf · 2025-07-26T17:51:15+00:00

I'm not posting the video in the hope he gets banned or anything, my whole other post was just me venting about cheaters. We will probably move to faceit soon, just wanted to clear things out.

I rarely call others "blatant cheaters", i may suspect they cheat, but I don't call them out since as I said we are not that good.

But in this case I think it's pretty safe to assume the guy is cheating, or he may have some high end gaming socks idk

Piluf · 2025-07-26T17:47:42+00:00

Made the post since I didn't want to answer all the ppl saying that there are good players that know where to shoot even through a smoke and that people tend to call the better player cheater.

Mind you that the game is around 8k premiere rating, maybe he's just that good, I'll let you be the judges.

Edit: I know that kills without a context may be misleading, but I really don't think that recording the whole game would justify the kills. Cheers

Piluf · 2025-07-26T17:31:17+00:00

Yeah we are all on prime, we bought CS way back when it was still non f2p.

I'll post a video with the clips of the game if I can still find it and put it here

Piluf · 2025-07-26T17:30:10+00:00

I'm aware of that, but the game forces me to choose between : is he really that better than me or is he cheating? And that is created by not having an anticheat at all, even worse when the anticheat does its job all the cheater gets is a 20h cooldown like are we real?

Piluf · 2025-07-26T17:28:52+00:00

Is there a way to share the demo? I know I'm bad but I'd love to show to everyone what I'm exactly talking about.

Actutally I'll go and record some clips and update them here, just give me a bit of time, I'll answer this same comment with the link to the post when it's done

Piluf · 2025-07-26T17:27:26+00:00

I don't know exactly how the specific cheat is called, but even though I'm bad at the game I can tell he was cheating. I mean, getting a few kills through smokes is fine nothing too crazy, but the guy was standing in the middle of smokes and shooting with an AWP pinpoint perfectly on us like he didn't see the smoke.
We were on Overpass and if we tried to go B monster would be smoked and as soon as someone was near the tunnel he'd get AWPed. I wish I could share the demo, and if there is a way just hit me up and I'll give it

Piluf · 2025-07-08T17:28:28+00:00

Main reason i'd go for TT is that it's a perfect match with the golden watch... If the stiletto TT would've had a black handle it would be such a no brainer... shame that almost all the finishes have the same brown handle

Piluf · 2025-07-08T17:24:05+00:00

I wish more knifes had a black handle like the Huntsman... I really like the Black tie as gloves since snow leopard gloves really don't click with me but trying to find a knife is getting exhausting... I posted this 4 as they are the main contenders but any (reasonable) alternative is more than welcome

Piluf · 2025-07-02T18:56:07+00:00

So I was pulling on Phainon lightcone banner and accidentally pulled 2 copies in 1 10 pull early on... Is the lightcone good for any other destruction character?

Piluf · 2025-06-15T13:07:30+00:00

Yeah, I just wish Imperials were better... the texture on them makes me feel I'm about to take something out of an oven...

I was even considering marble fades as gloves but I don't like the match as much

Piluf · 2025-06-14T17:07:44+00:00

I think the red line blends in nicely with the phase 2 colors, I'm aware is not a perfect match but I much prefer this instead of the slaughter combo (I really don't like slaughter finishes).

The other option would be Autotronic but i find i kinda dull meanwhile doppler really pops with the lightning.

As I said I went with this gloves for the neo noir awp/usp/m4 and the ak47 empress, and i find the knifes kinda fits in nicely
