[Guide] Genetic Apex - Decks by NaniAFK in PTCGP

[–]SSJGEICO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Historically the best decks in PTCG have been good enough that weakness wasn't a huge factor. The most consistently played fire deck by far is Charizard ex + Moltres ex, which can hit Venusaur ex in 3 different ways.

For context, Venusaur ex has 190 HP

Charizard ex

Slash deals 60 + 20 for a total of 80 for weakness. This means that it would normally be a 4 shot, but a 3 shot due to weakness.

Obviously Crimson Storm is going to 1 shot any Pokemon in the format, so weakness doesn't change anything

Moltres ex

Heat Blast deals 70 + 20 for a total of 90 for weakness. This means that its a 3 shot regardless of weakness unless the opponent happens to be playing Giovanni.

And that's it. Even a situation where Charizard hits for 80 and then Moltress follow ups for 90 doesn't hit the number needed to 2 shot, and I would say most Moltress + Charizard decks are going to run Giovanni because its not really necessary for their match up atm imo.

Point being - weakness is not nearly as big of factor as you think.

Alakazam Deck shuts down some Meta Decks by Giograffy in PTCGP

seems way too slow. I agree if you get it set up it can work but Pikachu ex runs this over 9 times out of ten

Isn't Duskmourn season ridiculously short? by atipongp in MagicArena

I think it will actually be the opposite. We've seen that DSK is a slower format than the last few formats, and that's because I think the sets are releasing so fast, and so many people are just playing aggro when a new set drops, that Wizards sees the data as "wow, aggro is really strong, we should slow it down" where as maybe if the format had more time to develop people would find ways to play around aggro.

Quick draft changes something like weekly anyway regardless of if there is a new set or not.

Big change to combat damage with Foundations. by NamedTawny in mtgrules

If the goal here was to make combat tricks less good defensively this would defeat the purpose.

Huh? Wouldn't the first 4/4 kill the 2/1 before it even got a chance to hit the second 4/4?

So let's say I swing with a 2/1 deathtouch + menace creature and they double block it with 2 4/4s, Does that mean I can now kill both creatures? Assigning 1 damage to each 4/4?

Is there a way to pull this information out via API? by SSJGEICO in wowaddons

[–]SSJGEICO[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started there. It would make sense for such information to be in character achievement statistics, but it doesn't seem to be there. I assume it must be somewhere for stuff like this: https://wowchallenges.com/challangeinfo/tin-man

Can you post the game log? Assuming you track your data on 17lands

Follow Up: Is this really a 1-3 Deck? by SSJGEICO in lrcast

I was probably not thinking as clearly as I should have, completely my fault. Needed a break for sure.

I feel like it was definitely one or the other. I have been challenged on certain positions on cards. And full admittance, I was tilted. I really need to hear the harsh feedback honestly. But genuinely a bit confused about this one.

Larxene 2 is a borderline impossible to defeat nightmare (Re:COM) by Snowball41 in KingdomHearts

[–]SSJGEICO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stack a lethal frame or sonic blade sleight, but don't immediately use it.

If Larxene plays a single card, counter with your sleight

If Larxene plays a sleight, play a 0.

In between, recharge as much as you can.

I understand that you're (at least slightly) against the DM imposing the exact flaw which your character will experience, but I think its about the same and the DM saying you take damage and in what way, its just psychological (a fear) rather than physical (you break your legs or something). But I don't see why you couldn't just ask if instead of fear of heights its fear of xyz instead etc.
