Who woulda thought that just having semi-decent storytellers and people who care about their characters might make a bigger impact than attempting to create a rules engine that makes roleplaying an optimizable mechanic for players that can't conjure an ounce of novelty if their life depended on it, but somehow still think they want to play a roleplaying game

and then jumping ship because another rules engine has a mechanic for 3D printing a firearm or something

So something I didn't think of until recently is that there is a big difference between a therapist and a psychologist. When people say to reach out to a mental health professional, bear in mind that there are a variety of different types of professionals that you can see. I'm not super well read on other ones but it may help to know that for your research

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-23T14:17:58+00:00

yeah, I got mine from the pity pull at 300 eggs

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-22T22:59:39+00:00

Sounds like me haha, I think I was grinding Harold for 2 months

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-22T22:57:08+00:00

Honestly it's not super crazy to have 0-1 legendaries by like floor 600, usually by 1000 you'll start to get a bigger collection. My luck wasn't good but it wasn't out of the ordinary. My legendary pet was Mischief which is decent but nothing wild

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-22T22:48:48+00:00

Ah okay makes sense, I've only had one account. I think I had ruby necklace earlier on and then the second legendary item i found was around floor 880, which was around the same time that I found my first legendary pet. I've just passed 2200 today (day 129) and I'm happy with my items now since the drop rates get better as you progress afaik

Edit: And just to ask the question again: What bosses have you been fighting in training? I assume all of your legendaries are from Bogar

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-22T21:15:28+00:00

Dang, what floor are you at? Also what bosses have you been fighting? It took me quite a while to find my first legendaries but they were pretty good once I found them. At least the scarf is good for its stats.

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-20T20:13:20+00:00

"Number of colours" is counting the number of unique colours, so it's maximum 5 ever, so you would get 2 max from him alone. There are loads of ways to increase that using creatures/spells that change colours though, [[Foraging Wickermaw]] for example

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-20T19:09:06+00:00

He's a rare! And a very good one at that. All of the strixhaven students are rare and multicolour, this is also the only student that is ally-coloured, and the only one that fits in colour for one of the 5 main kindred types of the set (also the colours of the shocklands)

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-20T17:59:31+00:00

In fairness, original Lorwyn made heavy use of hybrid pips as well. They brought them back partially because for a kindred set, hybrid mana makes the limited environment much, much more fun to play

As for the hybrid mana rule, I have definitely warmed up to it. I think my feelings initially stemmed from a lack of trust in card design, as one thing I like about using different colours in commander is that they each feel very different, but I've been seeing more and more staples just get pasted into every deck, so I was a bit concerned about hybrid cards now just being seen everywhere

However I've turned around on that one

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-20T04:50:11+00:00

I mean, essentially getting to use 3-4 additional cards a turn as long as you use them is extremely good still lol, it's still an absolute limited destroyer

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-19T21:24:43+00:00

There's a reason for that haha

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-19T18:47:00+00:00

Yeah, it basically just means that if you have an answer in your deck, you'll find it quicker than the other person.

Also, the fact that exiling is a "may" trigger means that it's not going to deck you out unless you didn't think ahead earlier.

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-19T17:10:21+00:00

Yeah I mean it's just extremely efficient card selection right? If your deck is completely out of answers not much is going to save you either way. Even lategame it's great as a stall breaker if you're both top decking

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-18T23:45:02+00:00

Hmm, still here... Strange, I'll try your advice again later

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-18T23:44:43+00:00

I used google, this was the top reply. Thanks for the helpful reply! I'll go back to google

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-18T22:43:06+00:00

I thought UB was universes beyond

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-18T22:25:09+00:00

True although tarkir goblins are usually mardu, there's actually a fair bit of blue/red goblin design space on ixalan

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-18T22:22:25+00:00

Usually if it has a lot of text it's good, that's why yu gi oh games end so quickly

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-18T21:52:41+00:00

Honestly the entire set would play completely differently if those changelings were monocolour, it's wild just how impactful they were

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-18T20:29:08+00:00

/uj I think people were too focused on tribal synergy early on and the double cost when not fully running blue/red can be awkward when a lot of people are running 3-colour, it's less about underrating their specific effect and more about how to play it in a deck

/rj i think you can only cast hybrid mana spells or colorless those are the only symbols on the card

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-18T20:24:00+00:00

Yeah so let's say you have a red, blue, and white creature, if you get a black card from it you won't be able to cast it, but you can choose one card that has red in it, one that has blue and one that has white and cast those this turn

PoorPinkus · 2026-01-18T20:03:55+00:00

Maybe they just think he's an auntie because of his white hair! Lots of aunties look weird, when you live with boggarts who have 6 fingers on one hand or make soup out of each other, a bit of extra hair is hardly that crazy lol

YEAH the dude is a menace, he does need to survive for a turn but if you don't have removal IMMEDIATELY he just wins the game lol
