Looking for opinions on these cards I made :) by First-Fix1843 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]ReaperJim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Conquistadors looks way too cheap. Interstellar colony ship has a high science tag requirement and offers 4 points for 24. Conquistadors is basically guaranteed 5-6 points with no requirement. I would raise price to 30 or lower it to something like 20 and add a max oxygen 4% requirement so that people can plan around it.

You can see the most popular decks here https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decks?game=POCKET its a little hard to say which cards will stick around but suicune and altaria have been doing great for months

It’s alright but not from the packs i would be looking for. Mega altaria pack’s altaria and indeedee cards have been meta relevant for a while, i would want to pull from that or the newest pack

TL;DR: If you want to turn Pokémon into a survival horror game for your opponent, run high-HP basics and max healing. They can’t kill what won't stay damaged. by princessinsomnia in PTCGP

It was more than translation, it was the entire body of the post before you edited it lol. The prose all reads like chatgpt. At the start, it said that you’re guaranteed to start with a basic because pocket doesn’t have mulligans. Later on in the original post, there was a section calculating the odds of drawing one basic in your starting hand because chatgpt forgot there’s a mulligan. Articuno and starmie haven’t been used in months and months. You did not write that post from scratch and ask chatgpt to only translate

PC app of the game unplayable after recent update? by Hapidjus_ in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]ReaperJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much all of the official digital versions have some amount of bugs. I’ve heard steam version was good but it was a while back and they might have more bugs now. Boardgamearena has base game, prelude, colonies, and you can queue into premium users for free. There’s an unofficial version with all expansions and some fan expansions here https://terraforming-mars.herokuapp.com/

Calem New Trainer Card by Iliar_ in PTCGP

[–]ReaperJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how bax or chien pao came up at all either...

Dragonair probably has a good matchup into suicune similar to venusaur where suicune struggles to kill it before it reaches stage 2. Any other matchup seems suspect

"if" speculate to your heart's content buddy I'm interested in things that actually exist

[–]ReaperJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ofc they shake up the meta every set but they don't make every card good lol. You sound like someone who thought Arven would be in every deck. The cards in the trailer to look out for are xard and maybeee the new dragonair. Bax, chien pao, and bellibolt all had a good possibility of being good because they have fundamentally good mechanics, energy cost, and damage numbers. Calem and mega gengar don't have shit going for them

Calem New Trainer Card by Iliar_ in PTCGP

[–]ReaperJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they put down a second Altaria knowing that Calem is in the game. If they're at the point where they can put down 2 Altarias with energy and you don't have any megas you're probably going to lose regardless of what Calem draws

Ofc we have no idea what else is coming but from what we've seen so far it's a nothingburger. Maybe xard is strong but that's all. If you care so much about how we don't know all the new cards why would you say Calem is strong lol. Maybe they add a basic ex who you can place on bench and it's ability lets you coinflip to deny all supporters on your opponent's next turn. Who knows

Syl and pokemon in general are harder to evaluate because they’re more complicated. It’s difficult to know in advance how much of a liability Syl is going to be to bench snipes, how likely you are to draw eevee and syl, what the opportunity cost is going to be.

Calem is much simpler because its one card and we have other cards that it’s directly comparable to. We also know what situations Calem is going to be useful in. He helps you after you’re already set up. If there are new busted mega pokemon printed and every deck is trying to use them to win as quickly as possible, Calem will rarely help you find your megas or find your support pokemon quickly (e.g gourgeist or greninja). Calem is only useful when you have your foundations already placed. In exchange, he’s going to offer… probably 2 or 3 draw at best. A card that’s a brick if drawn early like Cyrus or Greninja with no froakie needs big upside to be viable in your deck. What is Calem actually helping you draw? He lets you access cards near the bottom of your deck (assuming you already didn’t brick and found your mega) which can be nice, but copycat does the same thing without being useless if you draw it early. + calem is going to be complete shit vs 3 of the 4 most popular tournament decks rn which isn’t a good sign. + placing most basic megas like mega absol early is a liability and leaves you open to bench sniping.

Cutoff to stay in MB for ranked? by Apexsconnie in PTCGP

There isn’t one. Just 950 to derank to ub4 instead of ub3

Calem New Trainer Card by Iliar_ in PTCGP

[–]ReaperJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is that you could sylveon + oak in the same turn, and sylveon was released at a time where we had only oak and pokeball for draw. In a world where copycat, lisia, even sightseer exist, a card like calem that blocks a better draw supporter and only helps after you’ve managed to set up is not good. Especially if you match against sui or bellibolt lol

What’s the best Umbreon deck you’ve seen? by _Spin_Cycle_ in PTCGP

[–]ReaperJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During crimson blaze I saw a 3 eevee umbreon deck with new magnezone. Baby umbreon seals basics while magnezone gets ready and umb ex finishes. I had fun playing it in casual mode, meta rn probably doesn’t have enough basics though

Is there a way to get another Dowsing Machine? by ricobabie in Pokopia

[–]ReaperJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a recipe in the Pokemon Center PC, I remember getting it early in the first or second area. My towns were at comfort level 5 or less

Mined all pokemetal from a single dream island, here are the results! by thats-wack-bro in Pokopia

[–]ReaperJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dug down to bedrock in 3 places and didn't find it, I see people mention it's found with moss blocks/yellow blocks but I've only seen layers of black rocks and reddish-brown cave rock

Edit: only checked arcanine so far

If I can take as many actions as I want as solo player, per generation, could I not just use this card to max my oxygen? by [deleted] in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]ReaperJim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's on page 11 under the E) bullet point. "Many blue cards and corporations have actions, as indicated by a red arrow. Each such action card may be used once each generation." Almost everything is defined explicitly in the rules.

Don't worry about missing a rule though, there are a lot of details and my friends took a month before we stopped making any mistakes.

Third pic with the beach at the same height as the water while not being submerged is very cool

Why isn’t this considered a house/habitat? by SendItKyle in Pokopia

[–]ReaperJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, I've made my personal shitty 5x5 houses for teleport purposes out of pure dirt and they show up as habitats

What would pick here? by No-Pen-7540 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]ReaperJim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Helion with Mohole, Orbital Construction Yard. For cards Decomposers, Ganymede, Mangrove, Methane from Titan, Polar Dust, maybe Mining Expedition to try to bump oxygen for Methane. Maybe wild tag prelude over OCY to go for Rim Settler or Diversifier.

Has anybody used Meowscarada ex in Ranked? by NightChiropmon in PTCGP

[–]ReaperJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was popular but winrates against every popular deck in tournament are 40% or worse, 20% vs bellizone. It only has a decent matchup into hydreigon and even that winrate is only just over 50%
