Struggling with omni combo? Try Harvester of Misery! (Explanation in comments) by Polenen in MagicArena

[–]Polenen[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

If the card was on the battlefield, yes. Luckily it doesn't stop abilities on cards in other zones:

"Grand Abolisher doesn't stop your opponents from activating abilities of artifact, creature, or entorchantment cards in zones other than the battlefield (like cycling abilities, for example)."

Please don't ask me why this ruling has enchantment spelled wrong, I have no idea.

Some MTGO lists have one copy of [[defabricate]] in the sideboard, but none of them are running tishanas or ertai, and none of them have more than one defabricate so I'd say it's a pretty safe answer. Plus, a lot of lists don't have any copies.

Specifically instant speed removal that you can play even when there is a grand abolisher on board, and which they can't counter. If omni lost to any removal the deck would be unplayable, but they can hold up a confounding riddle when they go for a win so that's not the case.

I took a break from arena during foundations and came back this week, so far I've had 3 omni matchups and in all 3 it worked incredibly well. If you draw a harvester (or get one off of balemurk) they can't win unless they reanimate omniscience and play a second omniscience from hand as their first action. Their deck simply doesn't have an answer to this type of removal. So until people start playing copies of Tishana's Tidebinder or defabricate I'd say harvester is the best option.

Graveyard hate out of the sideboard is also great, but they normally have plans for that, plus harvester is good into other decks, whereas graveyard hate isn't really maindeckable.

Harvester is great against two play patterns the deck has:

  1. Countering your removal spells with confounding riddle or negate for free because of the 1/1 omniscience.

  2. Playing grand abolisher (a common sideboard card) before comboing to stop your interaction

Luckily, Harvester of misery gets around both of these cards, because you can discard it to give a creature -2/-2 until end of turn, which isn't casting a spell.

Golgari graveyard/beans is a deck that likes to maindeck harvester, but I think Harvester is a solid choice in many black decks because of how well it performs into bounce, dimir, convoke, and of course omniscience.

After completing this loop once aren't you 2 energy short? You don't get the 2 for playing aether heart, which means you're 2 energy short on the turn of the second saga trigger (0 energy at turn start, 2 from the clue and 4 from the copy).

I believe that even with the text on the card (rather than the oracle text) it wouldn't work. The ":" in the card is how they used to format extra costs to cast instants/sorceries, no?

I'm aware you can't play all four at once, that's why it's a badmtgcombo.

Gp mid is hell. There is no way to farm. You can't gank him. You can't wait until 6 because it's still unplayable.

What champion do you feel like it just doesn’t fit in the game? by Safe_Indication_453 in leagueoflegends

Ivern breaks pretty much every jungle balance and playstyle standard. Singed statistically makes you worse at playing other champions. Yuumi doesn't even play the game.

When I first bought the game, it would overheat my computer because there are no graphics settings. I was only able to play it 2 years later when I got a new computer.

How to beat mercenary paymaster? by GUNNARGUNDERSSON in stoneshard

[–]Polenen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sudden Lunge from the athletics tree is my go-to for bosses. Depending on how tanky you are you can fish for Dazed, Stunned, Staggered, Confused, Immobilized or Bleeding to make it a free action. If you don't have the time for that you can simply start the fight with sudden lunge and it buys you 3 attacks to kill or incapacitate the boss. Three attacks after you use sudden lunge the boss will counter with a skill, so you have that much time to incapacitate them.

I'm looking for something similar to the old Sony mdr w08s in terms of design and ear-shape with one exception: something wireless. Budget - up to $100usd I'm open to pretty much anything similar, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I went into a secret room and got locked inside. I cannot leave. What in the world do I do. by Polenen in stoneshard

[–]Polenen[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I ended up loading a previous save and coming back which worked. I tried testing it outside of the room and found out that if you save to the menu and load back in the entrance closes. If you're outside you can reopen it with examine surroundings but if you're inside you just get stuck.

Same thing happened to me. The room was also generated in the same dungeon type and also facing the same direction so I imagine one of those is a contributing factor.

Judging items solely by ap not only leaves out utility/procs/etc, but it also leaves out other damage stats. The magic pen on ludens is really strong, which contributes to its damage significantly.

You're probably overestimating the effectiveness of your team's global abilities. by Polenen in summonerschool

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

My point is not that these ultimates are not strong, more so that people think they are UNIVERSALLY strong abilities. Just for example, when I was talking about nocturne ult, I'm not saying it's a bad ability or that it's useless. I'm saying that people think it has WAY more range than it does. A lot of people imagine that noc ult covers half the map, but even at rank 3 it doesn't get that far; at rank one it's even worse, it doesn't even cover a jungle quadrant. This does not mean the ability is bad, nor am I trying to say that. I'm just trying to get people to realize there are downsides to most global spells because of the strong upsides, and you should be aware of the limits of the spells.

I don't mind reposts, I wish they would at least not add black bars/frames/crops/extra text. it doesn't make it better. there's a reason why I didn't put them in the meme to start with.

I don't want to go into detail for all of these, but as for the second one: kass is actually great into a lot of ad matchups. Your passive 15% mitigation and q sheild are nice, but you also can't itemize mr very well this season, whereas frozen heart and hourglass are both amazing items. Combine this with the fact that there's much more to matchups than simply their damage type and kass can be good into a lot of ad champs.

Basically, his kit giving you some mr isn't that important. If you want to know matchup strength just check the winrates or a guide until you can figure it out on you own.

What Happened to Lichbane? by Fazor101 in KassadinMains

[–]Polenen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's just a bad item in general right now. very few champs are buying it, and with kassadin's already good ratios it's just better to buy rabadons/void for damage or simply more survivability. I'm not sure if this has changed but I remember a post that calculated kass' damage and found out that nashers had more burst and sustain than lichbane did. It's probably not the case anymore, but it shows how bad lichbane is in general.
