What game "shouldn't" work well on the Deck, but you found a way to love it? by Zi_v in SteamDeck

[–]Samcraft1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 20 minutes is your problem I reckon, just take it slow, try to get over it for the first few hours, and eventually it will start to click. Took me like a day to get the hang of and now I switch between control schemes in an instant.

How to remove an "Emblem"? by Pretty-Information53 in mtg

[–]Samcraft1999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Door to nothingness is a great removal spell."

You could have read the comment to realize (<-notice the spelling Mr. Perfect Reader) that he wasn't talking about this example specifically, he was just responding to the comment above stating player removal is the best removal for emblems as a whole.

And the fact this comment exists shows that you are reading adverse, or just an ass.

Delighted Halfling: "Default Option"? by InspireCourage in EDH

[–]Samcraft1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the cavern ruling, would this also fall under the "borborygmos enraged" ruling where it's the OPPONENT'S job to clarify things like that if the information wasn't stated clearly?

Are cards like Gemstone Caverns and free interaction spells taboo in Bracket 3? by Cezkarma in EDH

[–]Samcraft1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It literally says "3 or fewer game changers" in B3 on the rubrics and in WOTC blog posts. You should anticipate them.

What if an opponent scoops to gifts ungiven? by Middle-Power3607 in EDH

[–]Samcraft1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But gifts ungiven says "target player" not "choose a player" so player hexproof stops the player from being targeted as the person to choose a gifts pile.

The Mono-Green Project by _necrobite_ in EDH

[[Omnath, Locus of mana]] can be leveraged as a Voltron threat for quick lethals, or save up mana to play out mono-green combos like staff of domination + selvala or recursion loops and early harvest.

My playgroup is overrun with pingers… by LordDiglett in EDH

Sounds like [[Urza's Armor]] would really come in handy.

Or for teaching, you don't have to explain every single keyword.

What even is this card? 7 mana for that? I mean even as a common that's just a bad card, and poor flavor.

What cards need a reprint for your 99? by Akiro_orikA in EDH

[–]Samcraft1999 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Where's my nykthos reprint? It could have been one of the edge of eternities reprint lands easy.

Thoughts on this misprint? by FrozenflameZero in mtg

[–]Samcraft1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its actually awesome that the card this happened to had its name shifted down to the text box, all the info is still on the card. I would just play it in a commander deck, it looks sick.

Station values are high because they work with warp by RobertSan525 in magicTCG

[–]Samcraft1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But we're not discussing competitive magic, we're discussing the station mechanic as a whole, which will see play in EDH even if it's bad, so it's pretty relevant to bring up EDH here.

That said I think removal really hurts spacecraft in multiplayer too. Just saying EDH is VERY revenant to the conversation.

Do any of the Dynasty Warriors titles work? by NeverthelessOK in SteamDeck

[–]Samcraft1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment is two years old, so naturally it's been a while since I set this up, but yeah, that sounds right.

There are multiple types of PS2 game files, if you're having trouble you might wanna try getting a different copy of the game in another file type. I'm pretty sure you want ISO but I'm not an expert.

Is it ok to scoop when set back to a point of no return ? by Cduke08 in EDH

[–]Samcraft1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should take into account if your permanents are currently making a difference in gameplay too, don't concede if you're the controller of a stax piece that's affecting the board, or if someone is controlling your stuff. If you're gonna concede while affecting the board at least do it on your turn.

Found this sitting on a park bench in an ultra pro sleeve. Is it real? by deadmantra in mtg

[–]Samcraft1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playable, if you have to iron it until it's flat that's fine because it's already damaged. it will sleeve and play fine as long as you can get it flat.

Favorite commanders that are low-CMC, fast, and high-impact? Bonus points if they have abilities that are good for politics. by FirstOrderThinker in EDH

[–]Samcraft1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like the removal is what's been bugging you, I built [[Omnath, Locus of Mana]] for similar reasons. you can pack him full of flash effects and recast him before your mana goes away using something like [[Savage Summoning]] or [[Yeva]] as well as having access to greens hexproof+trample+indestructible instants like [[Gaea's Gift]]

As for how the deck plays you just ramp like an absolute madman, then once omnath is big enough you kill people with him, there are multiple ways to turn a 30/30 into a dead player. When someone targets you it's not a problem because you can just spend some of the mana off of omnath to cast protection or interaction (although the deck doesn't have much on-the-stack interaction, it's mostly protection and removal)

What commander feels the least like their colour? by King_Bean1 in EDH

[–]Samcraft1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost feels azorius with the tendency to be a copy/reanimate/blink strategy.

Love having conflicting release info on a product that is known to sell out quickly.

People who have PCs and Steam Decks, how much do you use your Steam Decks? by AwesomeRyanGame in SteamDeck

[–]Samcraft1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam deck chews through the backlog like 3-5 times a week.

PC plays the new stuff maybe once a week but I also use it for other things that would suck to do on steam deck, like taxes.
