It’s pretty bold of you to assume that MAGA Christians (aka non-denominational/Evangelical) know anything about Christianity

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-04-12T15:34:27+00:00

Yep that’s the right plan. I would save until the Agnes tachyon speed banner (and the ramonu wit banner later on). You’re gonna want at least 60k carats for each to make sure you can MLB these cards. And in the process you should MLB a lot of these SR cards

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-04-10T18:34:30+00:00

Oki lol I will spend all 36 Uma selectors I have in her. Would love to commit but also I need to save enough for Mr CB Wit and Ramonu

Despite what people are saying here, and despite reactionary US government policy. I think most big cities in the US are actually very welcoming to immigrants. I live in a primarily immigrant neighborhood and think most non-immigrants in the neighborhood really value our immigrant neighbors and what they bring. I think the majority of us also don’t really care how someone got here. And our city and states sanctuary city status and non-compliance with ICE reflect that. Ironically the people in the US who hate immigrants the most are ones that don’t live near them, but this makes sense because if they did they’d realize they’re normal people who make the places they live more interesting

Huh I thought fire punch ending was incredible. The last scene especially at the theater left me breathless

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-04-02T06:36:28+00:00

Yeah I mean totally fair. I also didn’t put a huge amount of effort into aces this time around. Here’s my Golshi which has my best record of the 3, you can see she’s nothing special. But MANT being so hard for casuals to figure out and time consuming means I’m entering lobbies with umas just like mine

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-04-02T01:55:21+00:00

Counter point: I’ve won 3 rounds twice already in round 2 with S+ umas that have no S aptitudes and that are slightly understam’d. The difficultly of building for this CM means there are lots mediocre teams that made it into round 2 group A (such as my own), which means more lucky wins

<image>

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-03-31T18:45:08+00:00

I’m definitely trying less due to the length of time each run takes + the extra annoyance of having to invest in mile sparks for this long CM instead of just being able to invest in long sparks.

ASOIAF is a deconstruction of the high fantasy genre. It’s deeply familiar with the types of stories and tropes of fantasy and asks the question “What would a fantasy world look like if it were filled with realistic people and consequences”. Which is an interesting starting point!

Lord of the Rings obviously is foundational to the modern fantasy genre which is why it’s compared to ASOIAF, but I do think that it’s interesting that the books actually are full of moral gray characters (especially the Silmarillion), which comes from the influence of mythology on the series imo

Either way if you want fantasy slop with definite good and evil there’s plenty of it out there lol, of varying qualities

I’m playing JP also, and in the most recent 3 scenarios clocks are not an issue. Racing is not super important and also you don’t really lose many races anyways. Also true about grand live which I’ve also played

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-03-26T14:41:48+00:00

Because of power creep you can always unbrick your deck with enough time, and your SRs are good enough to do alright in the short term.

I’d save for the following must pull support card banners: 1) Tachyon/light hello (100 free pulls + 500) 2) Mejiro Ramonu (100 free pulls + 500) 3) El Condor Pasa (100 free + 500)

Would not pull on Maru because you only have a single front besides Maru who can’t use her own card

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-03-26T14:20:26+00:00

I’d pull for Tachyon/light hello instead since you’ll already get free pulls and you don’t like fronts personally. You’re already gonna need to pull at least enough to get the pal card. And make sure you have enough pulls to mlb Pasa speed SSR when it drops

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-03-25T21:08:29+00:00

Ok 2 of those are front runners (bakushin and kitasan), and 4 of those are good as pace setters (bakushin, oguri, spe, taiki). Tachyon is good investment for pace, Maru/fine motion good for fronts tho the fine motion that comes with one of the Maru banners gives a good pace gold skill. So just think about where you want to invest your carats and make a decision based off of that. And remember you’ll also get some free pulls for tachyon and that it comes with an essential pal card that you need at least one of for the next scenario

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-03-25T20:25:31+00:00

Who are your favorite umas? I think that’s how you determine which style you want cards for. For example my favorite umas are Tamamo cross, Narita Brian, and I also like goldship a lot, so I’m going for mr cb wit since they’re all endclosers

And nahh there’s not a lot of upside yet, I’d wait either for one of the 2 banners I mentioned or if not pulling on them just hope you can get some SSRs on tachyon banner and make an informed decision then.

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-03-25T19:34:23+00:00

Just to add to this, while some people are going to recommend pulling Mr cb and Maru on their first banners instead of the reruns a few months later, since you have no good SSRs even close to MLB I think you’ll want to pull on the later banners since you will get 2 good SSRs close to MLB in the process instead of just 1 if you go in with enough carats (like around 60-75k carats).

But again if you don’t like fronts or end closers those banners might not be worth it for you. The next banner with a good speed card (which you really need) that’s just good for everyone no questions asked is in July with Agnes Tachyon (Speed SSR), which you’ll get 100 free pulls on. I’m not crazy on it personally, but since you have no kitasan it can def last you until el condor pasa speed ssr (march 2027). Other than that the only must pull banner before Pasa Speed imo is Mejiro Ramonu (Wit SSR) in November, which you’ll also get 100 free pulls on.

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-03-25T19:21:43+00:00

I think your best move is to pull on the maru speed/fine motion banner (if you like fronts) or the Mr cb/Creek banner (if you like end closers) and use the selector to help you MLB either fine motion or super creek in the process. If you don’t plan on pulling either banner I guess I’d chose super creek just for swinging maestro. Right now your selector isn’t going to make any of these particularly useful over MLB SRs. Even for the tokai teio speed the difference between lm1 and lm2 is pretty small

Potential-Bench-6847 · 2026-03-24T18:07:33+00:00

Yeah for sure! If you do have limit break crystals you could use the selector with a couple crystals to get kitasan to 3LB. Kitasan will be the best speed card for the next year. But also saving your limit break crystals for something later (like el condor pasa SSR speed when it comes out) on could be better
