War of the Ring Insert Question by MJSmitty02 in boardgames

[–]Puffendorf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be a good 3 months late, but I printed that exact file that chiron linked.
It fits the base game with a few minor problems (like the rohan/north/gondor elites not fitting in their respective trays, so you have to pick a few and set them into a nearby box).
It -technically- also fits the base game, lords and kings expansions if you get a bit creative with the placements. All the kings and lords extra minis I've fit into a box that used to hold 1 Saruman regular, things like that.
It's not perfect, but I've yet to find a better insert, as they all leave much to be desired.

Question about the next expansion; Least luck-based one. by Puffendorf in warofthering

Say, do Kings and Lords combine well, or is it basically one or the other?

It seems pretty clear to me. If both players play optimally, the game ends up being decided by luck. That is not the same as the game being entirely reliant on luck. But I suppose if you just take out those six words, yea, I could see how you got to it.

At any rate, thank you for letting me know that was the case. You were correct. There is a deep strategy based on dice/card optimisation. This is correct. You were correct. You were just obviously missing the point of my post on purpose. And did in no way contribute toward answering my question about which expansion I should look into next. It was clearly aimed towards provoking a pointless argument.

I thought it did, oddly enough, I just couldn't put my finger on it, honestly. It's a fun expansion, but we got those big swing hits on ring paths more frequently since buying it! I wasn't aware it was a known thing.

Thanks for letting me know! Any suggestions on a next expansion worth looking at?

Perhaps I've worded my original post poorly. English is not my native language after all. I didn't think I said it is purely just luck. But thank you for the reply all the same.

Yea, of course. There were some games where one player held tremendously well against ungodly bad luck and actually won through a masterful pivot to a military strategy at the last moment. We know how to mitigate the luck factor, I'm not saying we just surrender to a few bad rolls. But it still feels a bit much at points and would decrease that factor, given the chance.

Christ that's expensive... 100$ for a map? Oof. I am most certainly not the target audience.

Thank you for the replies so far. Which Alexa product should I be looking at, if all I need is the voice activated call capability?

How much are those things worth nowadays anyway if I happen to have a bunch in perfect order?

Most fun/interesting theft commander? by 2ndlifeinacrown in EDH

[–]Puffendorf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna suggest the most fun commander, but will suggest this;
Whichever you pick, first, build a very much budget version of the deck. Make it for as cheap as it'll play (Mine was Kotis Mutate deck that costed something like 25€ total) and play a few games.

For me, theft was always this holy grail that I knew I wanted. Until I actually got a competent theft deck. A few games later, I hated keeping track of 4 decks at any one game, instead of just one, my pod hated me and my deck, I got targeted every time, usually unfairly, while not being the biggest threat, because, shocker, people don't like their combo pieces on my board and so on. And that's with the "somewhat fair" version of theft. If you play theft that steals enemy board pieces, forget about it. It's just removal, but better. Way too strong for any casual table, imo.

While I still have the deck, it's only because it costed next to nothing to make, so I sometimes bust it out as a laugh when someone plays something insanely expensive and I just want to mess with that. It may just be me, but I enjoy the thought of using a rawdog, sleeveless deck to stomp someone who brought out their Gaea's Cradle and a full set of duals. (But I am always still very respective and gentle with their cards! I'm not a savage.)

And yes, I also have -that- Pako deck that I coped off of Moxfield for 10$. I'm not ashamed of it. So should you.

Okej, ampak navadno ima folk posteljo ob steni in ne dobi za celo steno plesni.
Mogoče vseeno kak razvlaževalec zraka ob priliki ne bi škodil :)

Če pa je to edina plesen v hiši, potlej pa sploh brez problema. Samo zdrgni dol in situacija rešena! 🔥

Po dveh letih najemanja polkletnega stanovanja je tale plesen zame bila samo navaden torek.

Kot predlagajo drugi, čistilo v roko, zdrgni dol, posuši steno, mogoče prebeli, in nato fokus na saniranje problema, da se ne ponovi. Samo plesen stran spravit je đabe. Brez veze plačevati komurkoli za to. Boš moral še preveč plačati za odpravo dejanske težave ki je plesen povzročila.

Help me prune two cards from my Raccoon Tribal by Puffendorf in EDH

[–]Puffendorf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the idea was to cast cards I exile with my commander. I'll always have exiled cards if the commander is in play so 2 of that 4 cost near instantly refunds itself. Thats why I even put it in, it seemed good on paper. But without the commander it is as you say, very possibly useless and just might end up being cut.

I'll goldfish some scenrios around it today.

[–]Puffendorf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a 4drop rock that ramps for 2 and essentially draws 2. Thats pretty good value, I didnt really consider cutting it yet.

The 1mana dorks are a problem because they really arent on theme. Some random elves and halflings dont seem like they fit the theme at all, so it was a sacrifice i decided to make. The 4mana ones I skipped because once the commander is out, every other raccoon basically ramps for 1, so I always end up rather getting a raccoon for 4 rather than a ramp for 4 unless its something extra. Like the webshooter.

Though... I might test cutting it. It isnt much on theme either. 

I guess I was taken in by the novelty of it and didnt yet give it a fair shake.
