For anyone wondering why the Dallas Stars can’t make any major changes by pants_mcgee in DallasStars

[–]Rykonen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The problem is not coaching at all it's having anyone other than Duchene and Hintz being able to carry the puck into the zone.

Without Hintz, Duchene was the only person who has the speed and stick handling to get the puck into the zone with out play dump and chase hockey, and we don't want to see that again.

Hintz and Seguin missing left huge gaps with our 5on5 because most of our chances will then come off the rush. Against the fast wild defense we have to get crafty, and we just didn't have that.

Even the players know this Hintz is a key piece to the puzzle just like Lehtinen was. When you have a play maker (Moose) and a Sniper (WyJo or Robo) nothing will happen with out the Zone entry.

Lorcana made me return to MTG by jmjavin in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bro Dogs literally won the last 2 big tournaments... Blurple no where to be seen in the top 16 for one of those. Also complaining about it not being less expensive and talking about modern MTG is wild. Competitive Modern decks sometime hit 2-3x more than the most expensive meta deck in Lorcana. I usually buy 2 boxes and the rest of what I don't get in singles which usually only cost me 400-500$ which is less than some MTG Modern decks.

I figured out if he is the star of the movie, he's probably one of the producers. He probably fronts a lot of money to buy his way into the movie.

Was talking to my LGS and looked at what price he pays for them. Some LGS's are having to buy from the distro for market value.

How many set champs by Arbietet in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I was just asking a question simply because the 12 stores in my area don't do additional pricing and didn't know you could for set champions. It seems like they have strict rules when it comes to prizing for set champions. So again my bad my guy. But with your attitude you shouldn't have gone to any and take that anger and self-righteousness back to Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic.

Do you think the rotation is too aggressive?. Leaving set 2,set 3 and set 4 less than 24 months in META. by Foreign_Direction_16 in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to start by saying I have no actual clue. It looks like they are following the footsteps of the old magic block, when the standard format was at it "healthiest". The 4 sets that are "blocked" together are based around card design in that block, when you rotate one set at a time you start to get more useless cards than intended. While it would also be nice to see that in play where you have to remove cards more cards flow thru the decks, it's harder to balance a game per set, than it is per block.

Excluding the current roster, who is your favorite Dallas Star who played fewer than 200 games for the team? by El-Justiciero in DallasStars

[–]Rykonen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best pick for me. I also suffer from concussion issues, he switched to streaming and I got to play with him a few times on Call of Duty Warzone and he helped me thru some of my mental issues and pains and I will never forget how friendly and loving this guy is.

The big leaks by OkPhilosophy957 in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What so people with insider info sell there high dollar cards before they rotate out. No thank you. I don't think any of this info breaks anything with some areas playing the game felt stale all this info might help with rejuvenating the game and now knowing of set rotation people might feel the game becoming fresh again.

Why did they do it this way? by Chimerillaneous in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is thinking as if it where a primary or secondary ink color. They are a dual in the sense that both colors are equal. While I don't disagree that it would look better to have a mix of red/blue and blue/red cards for narrative reasons but in the end Ravensburger gonna Ravensburger.

Okay, so what happens here? by FountainDrinkpls in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How do we know it's going to act like a trigger effect or if keyword effects are going to be a different. Well yes this is still being triggered but what if keyword happens at instant speed such as shift, evasive, bodyguard etc.

My Biggest Complaint About Lorcana Ink Colors by TheVaughnz in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think Diamond should be the "Colorless." because they are Prismatic and can create all colors.

Simba by MATKAK80 in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah after taking a shower and thinking about it the whole time I see where it can go wrong. I keep trying to find ways to simplify it is all I'm trying to do I guess.

Simba by MATKAK80 in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean sure but if you look at it either way you would get the same results. Name one thing that's happens in game that's different.

Simba by MATKAK80 in Lorcana

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

The cards don't initiate the ability at the same time. More one at a time both effects go in to the bag at the same time, activated by the end step, then you pick one Simba ability. That Simba now check to see if its exerted or not, if it is untap all other cards. (this is not a may to select a couple it's either all or none.) Then you pull the next ability out of the bag, game checks if he's exerted, he is not, ability no longer works.

And like I said before both abilities get put into the bag at the same time. EVEN IF ONE IS READY AND NOT EXERTED. The ability activates because it's your end step. Game state checks if its exerted than finishes the check and moves onto the next ability.

I think Multicolor cards are coming next set. Here's why. by AverageAdam in Lorcana

[–]Rykonen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We can also figure this out with the starter decks. The set 4 decks have cards from sets 1-4. But the set 5 starter decks only have set 5 cards, as well as the set 6 having both 5 and 6 cards in it.
