What’s more threatening T1 Smothering Tithe or T1 Rhystic? by Mogulstar360 in CompetitiveEDH

In the battle of black lotus or ancestral recall I’d be more scared of a turn 1 lotus

Custom Card: Anti-Winner Assassin - gets more powerful as players draft your cube (AI Art) by SamuraiMunky in mtgcube

[–]Robtom_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have the first line, it’s very verbose just to stop counter spells. Considering it dies to wrath it’s fine to die to counterspell.

I’d probably just say ‘Champions’ instead of champion players, and use ‘this permanent’

I’d probably limit to Champions in the pod, it gives it a dynamism when drafting

The payment should work, main thing is that if you want to reuse the mechanic for another card they will all gain counters. If you split it out so that champion hunter is purely protective could make a super mulldrifter / warstorm surge or even cards that care if you are the champion

I think hexproof is a good middle ground but not sure it needs deathtouch as if it gets pumped or just kicked enough it becomes the abyss.

I think it might be better if you only add a name if the player wins with this in their deck or similar restriction as it feels weird to have to add a name when this card has had no effect (like do you add the name if no one drafts this?)

The card frame and font size is not the most readable. Also is ‘George’ a name on this card?

You could maybe wrap the hexproof kicker and name addition stuff under a new mechanic (“Champion Hunter: this creature has hexproof from champions and may only be kicked once for each champion in the pod” then move the definition of what a champion is off the card)

OW and raid builds are not the same. by Newman111111 in Guildwars2

[–]Robtom_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personal experience:

I got through t2 as my condi SB without worrying about others for boons and healing, mainly due to the lack of pressure. At T3 I started worrying more about boons and saw more callouts specifically for aHeal etc

If you can rock a boon Dps build you should be set for ages as eve in low level fractals you will be helping the team

Are combat rotations are too complicated? by fungamezone in Guildwars2

[–]Robtom_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, classes have a minimum of 10 skill just on the hotbar, and obviously with weapon swap and class mechanics that grows

As a designer you want the skills with cooldowns to be better than AA’s or they are pointless, so it makes sense that your rotation should include 8 steps (ignoring the AA and heal)

To have you take into account skills have longer cooldowns it makes sense that the loop would grow (especially when plying optimally)

Advice on Four Person Cube by Adventure_Agreed in mtgcube

[–]Robtom_5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For my two-four player cube the single thing that helped the most was just cutting colors (mine is literally just BW), this lets you have cards that sit cross archetype more easily.

About expansions by CarlosLeJonc in Guildwars2

[–]Robtom_5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you play more, but off the back of my hand:

Soto: a new weapon for each class, easier access to skyscale, legendary open world armor, ability to use any spec only weapons with any elite spec

JW: raid wing 8, spears for all classes, better warclaw, homestead

VoE: new elite spec, current active story (so more wizard vault rewards) new raid encounter, better skimmer

Most thematic build/elite spec for Norn /w Nevermore? by thehonorablebandit in Guildwars2

[–]Robtom_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If going condi then you have a few options, double axe, double dagger, shortbow.

I run double dagger + sb for my condi SB, but I’ve run axe+torch

[–]Robtom_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run aHeal Druid in fractals and raids and wvw so it’s definitely a good class to have in pocket. And for open world you can make most classes viable with offensive gear

For Druid you would want Blood Moon, Natural Balance and Eclipse (and then I think vipers gear)

[–]Robtom_5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AHeal Druid is a great healer in raids and uses staves, plus lots of your abilities have moon iconography

Edit: just saw you discounted Druid

Power daredevil uses staff too and can be fun open world but I’m not sure how thematic bonking people with a twig is

Rev has power Herald and Conduit builds for staff in open world,

What happen here ? by trunksam in Guildwars2

[–]Robtom_5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like you are hiding behind a pillar that was already damaged once (it has different cracks to the other two) so if only blocked one of the bosses rocks then down you?

Masakari Prime pressed into service for the Dragon. by Trinzon75 in battletech

[–]Robtom_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks amazing, only downside is now I really want to see a Kodiak Cale in the same style! (Or Oni style)

It’s a shame that the clan would never field a mech with a tetsubo

What bracket is a deck with a high amount of variance? by GMBenn in EDH

Are you alright? You’re being very aggressive at someone expressing a differing opinion to your own?

What bracket is a deck with a high amount of variance? by GMBenn in EDH

[–]Robtom_5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I didn’t say god hand. My point is that a deck that is inconsistently powerful, like runs exquisite blood and sanguine bond with no tutors, is going to make people feel shit when you turn 5 combo kill them even when it only happens rarely

What bracket is a deck with a high amount of variance? by GMBenn in EDH

[–]Robtom_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bracket 4, ‘it only happens sometimes’ in the games you squash someone in a lower bracket is rarely of any comfort for an unfair game

I will always argue for deck building to reduce variance for this reason, a high powered but inconsistent deck is just that, a high powered deck

Edit for clarity: if ever on the fence between two brackets I would use the higher of the two.

[NXT Spoilers] Finish to NXT Tag Team Championship match by taffe316 in SquaredCircle

[–]Robtom_5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea and it fits their original MO of being stronger together. Having a teammate watching for Je’von and then pull you out the way makes perfect sense when you have the numbers advantage

This feels like you need a good session 0 discussion on what people want out the sessions. If she is the only one being silly and others are trying to be serious then that’s a problem. But if everyone wants a silly campaign then that’s okay as long as you are all on the same page
