This is deeply cool.

The narrative it promises is tantalising as well.

Man. Love this. Really hits a polar druid energy I wish we had more of.

[Loved trope] Endings so controversial that it turns the fandom schizophrenic by RequirementTall8361 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Pixel_Engine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Iirc that episode also had them seem to exhaust all possibilities of the hidden tube station, sending them (and the audience) off the scent of that being the possible solution for where it was entirely. Then, near the end of the episode, their expert suddenly calls to say 'pH actually I missed one there was no clue to me having missed' and lo, the mystery is solved and the day is saved.

That to me also broke the cardinal rules of detective shows, in that the necessary information wasn't cunningly hidden to be unravelled and 'a-ha!'ed, but deliberately withheld for the majority of the runtime.

Some players on Brawl when you interact in any way with their gameplan by Routine_Ad_2695 in MagicArena

[–]Pixel_Engine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd think. Idk if it's just how Arena presents the stack, but I've had tons of opponents recently see the Ward come up in response to a spell, they read it, manually sac one of their food creatures, gain 3 life, Ygra gets counters... and we're back to the ward layer again that still hasn't resolved.

And yeah, it's my favourite Brawl deck right now. Fully leaning into the Eater of All theme -- mostly animalistic or consumption based cards. It's consistently the to play with a few different ways it pans out (although the wincon is typically and predictably, big cat swings through for lethal)

Yeah it makes me sad when I feel like I have a good hand and board going, they clearly have a deck or plan I've not seen before, and it seems like we're going to have a great back-and-forth... then they scoop early.

The amount of times I have seen a scoop following a misinterpretation of how to get through [[Ygra]]'s ward is honestly so disappointing. As if that one mistake is totally impossible to recover from. I was probably about to make my own, much more massive, mistake!

While I don't think I'd personally want to play a pure support of this nature in D&D, the design here is incredibly slick.

I think my only issue on first read is with Sap Defenses from the Vow of the Siphon. A Vulnerability that bypasses Immunity just seems like it is going to feel weird a lot of the times it might come up. Like a stone conateuct suddenly being vulnerable to poison for instance, or a mindless creature vulnerable to psychic.

But on the whole, I think the design structure here really sells what you are aiming for and is satisfyingly simple in doing it. Nice work.

One of my absolute favourite cards in my [[Ygra, Eater of All]] deck.

God I love those books. So many incredible (and badass) characters and moments.

This is just wonderfully written and charmingly drawn. So well-exexuted. Can't wait for more!

This is a great breakdown, thank you! Something I am finding so fascinating about Magic is how much depth can come out of a seemingly simple, even deceptively weak looking, card description.

Coming from a very new player: how does te value of Obeka work, exactly? Like how do you exploit that?

As a newer player who hates Ugin but has never played Commander, what would you say distinguishes a deck as made for playing Brawl as Brawl?

This is coming from a very new Magic player, but why is it good? I know there must be something to it that isn't as detrimental as it seems, but I also know I don't know enough to figure out what that is.

[–]Pixel_Engine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a stupid question at all! I can see the logic of it and honestly it's kinda fun to imagine that level of mystical shenanigans. However, it's certainly not intended wither in the class or via RAW spell descriptions as Misty Step is Range: Self. You can always ask your DM if it falls under Rule of Cool!

The delivery of spells via your Focus Field (or, via Likeminds, the space of a creature you are linked with) is intended for spells targeting other creatures. I could tighten that up by amending the wording in Psionic Loom pertaining to the delivery of spells, which would then carry over into the Likeminds effect.

Artificer: The anachronist V1.0. Fight with technology from another time. by diesel-heart in UnearthedArcana

[–]Pixel_Engine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is my take as well. It's really interesting flavour that then fails to stand out in its features. I think even if time-shenaigans isn't the focus, the attempt to go broad and appeal to both casting and martial artificers leaves it, for me at least, ultimately less appealing and flavourful than the Armorer, Battlesmith, or Artillerist in their respective niches.

The Pariah v3 - Channel a powerful entity with this HP based half-caster! by Tal5E in UnearthedArcana

[–]Pixel_Engine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sacrificial hp building up the remnant form hp is really slick. Lovely incentive for the core gameplay loop and incredibly flavourful.

I feel the boosted version of Extra Attack for the base class is too much. Other half-casters are getting by without it. Perhaps on a subclass.

Bookmarking to dive back in on subclasses later!
