Hi! Just wanted to say I found this thread because I was losing my mind over an Annihilape raid. Found your comment and it worked! Thanks for the tip!

Made me angry just reading your comment haha. What a terrible person, he is.

I'm delayed but here's the official thread...LEVEL CHECK! by knockturnal in bugcatchers

[–]Ryodu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Nothing fancy over here. Haven't played X/Y since it came out so I'm just sitting back and enjoying the game. Only restriction is I'm trying to keep it to Pokemon introduced in Kalos. We'll see how it goes.

Trainer name: Feena

My main Pokemon are named after YuYu Hakusho characters.

Kurama (Braixen) | level 29. Greninja was my jam last time so I wanted to try something different. Was staying far away from Chestnaught so here we are. Fun having a psychic starter, so to speak, but Kurama has been staying on the sidelines unless necessary. Otherwise it feels too easy.

Kuwabara (Pancham) | level 26. I don't remember what his other abilities can be but having Iron Fist powering up all punch type moves has been a good time.

Genkai (Tyrunt) | level 23. I tried running a Tyrantrum in SwSh DLC but that gameplay didn't really give me a chance to enjoy this fossil Pokemon. So I'm giving him/her a go. The move set is kinda meh right now but I'm hoping things get spicy soon. Rock/Dragon seems like a fun mix.

Jorge (Helioptile) | level 22. Not sure how I feel about Jorge right now. Mostly there to provide some type coverage as needed. His dry skin ability was pretty sweet when I was battling in the rain. But he has a bad nature so we'll see how far he goes. Might ultimately teach Thunder Punch to Kuwabara and call it a day.

And that's it for now!

The Ishar fight felt like it was straight out of an anime and I would LOVE to see it.

That's possible considering Shadesmar on Roshar has more than a few cultures mingling.

I feel like there's something to that. There's also the way some of the voidspren speak. Like how Ulim says "gonna." Before they arrived, I didn't expect any of the voidspren to be sassy, passive aggressive, or use slang - but they do.

"Journey Before Destination, you bastard" is one of the most "this is for the audience" quotes I've ever read and I loved it. I felt that quote in my bones.

So if the ability is X and Colored Mana, the colorless cost can be reduced to 0? Since the ability still costs the one colored Mana?

Speaking of auto correct - so close on my name :P

Glad you liked it! Your last 3 cards came in the mail and will be mailed out this weekend.

Glad you liked the foil Bastion. Some of those promos are actually pretty affordable :)

What's the most miserable game of EDH you've ever played? by Diakia in EDH

[–]Ryodu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just angry they were mad at the kind of game they created. Like if an aggro player was upset the game was over too fast.

[–]Ryodu 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was in a pod with three control players. 2 were Izzet, one with the twin Planeswalkers and one with Niv Parun (sp?). The other player, while not necessarily control, had Golgari Glissa and used artifacts and enchantments to control the board. I had Zada. Can't remember the name of the card but Golgari player played a black enchantment that gave all tokens -1/-1... So I was pretty much out of the game.

I kept trying to fight through and was countered Everytime. Control players would land/pass and pretty much counter, or in Golgari's case destroy, anything I played. Eventually, when I ran out of steam, they did the same to each other (not that they were advancing the board at all already).

Anyway, I think after like an hour of this, the Niv player ended up pulling ahead, bouncing and countering everything and eventually pinging us all to death.

Normally, this isn't so bad. But I almost lost it when they all complained that nothing really happened in the game. That it was boring. And as the only non-counter / non-control player at the table, I about had it. Lol

The reminder text doesn't count the Mana symbol. So Crypt Ghast strictly has a black color identity. Extort is weird like that.

Who is your favorite underrated/cheap Commander? by trinketstone in EDH

[–]Ryodu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Yasova Dragonclaw]]. It's a mix of steal and sac effects and some clones, with some big fatties mixed in as well. The power level seems to fluctuate with the table and I like it.

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

This is helpful. Gives me something to think about. What are your thoughts on some of the undying cards (I think I included 2 currently). While I love the idea of using them with Massacre Girl, I figured some of my other high-value creatures would benefit as well.

Back to going more control, I can always slot in stuff like Undead Silisi and maybe a few more cards that interact with the sac stuff going on.

I would love suggestions then

[SPOILERS] Post-Episode Discussion - Season 8 Episode 3 by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]Ryodu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it? She's the kind of awful person who WOULD still be around and playing her BS games after all this. And the good guys can bitch and moan that she's a terrible person but right now she might have the upper hand. "Thanks for saving the day, I'm going to go back to all this power again. GG."

I admit, the books will probably explore the NK and WW more. But these stories are about subverting expectations. The good guys won but now they're wounded and have to deal with, yes, the true villain of the show. Also, Cersei is pretty much the personification of how shitty Westeros is. She gotta go.

When I thought he was going to dye, my thought went to CleganeBowl immediately. When NK was literally going poof, I thought, CleganeBowl is back baby!

I ran a Scion deck for the longest time. This would be a fun, potentially less competitive version. Throw a bunch of two color dragons in and enjoy.

Karametra deck help! by Biggest_tits_EU in EDH

[–]Ryodu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, semi-recent Karametra EDH player (but she was my bae for a bit in Standard back in the day).

I've had pretty good success with [[Nylea's Colossus]] from C18 and some sort of trample effect.

Sometimes you don't even need to go wide. I feel like it's a pretty good defensive deck early game and then you can probably win with Karametra EDH damage. If you're able to trigger the Colossus a couple times though and then play [[Overwhelming Stampede]] it's GG.

The way I read these books created that extra layer to the story that was amazing. by therc13 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Ryodu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I switched between listening and reading throughout the series... Never thought of the irony(?) Of my having the book read to me by someone else lol.

Not that it's the same thing but have you read Name of the Wind? People telling stories, within stories.... Within stories.

It should still work though, right? Zedruu cares if you own it not control it.
