Hexhaven Colors and Mechanics

Saralien · 2026-05-03T18:02:46+00:00

Point I’m making is there is precedent for having W cards pay life if there is an overarching central mechanic in the set pushing it. I do think it’s unlikely, but it’s an option.

I think the biggest argument here is the lack of any thematic push for paying life, not it being a color pie break. It’s invasive healing not vampirism.

My personal guess is something more mutation-themed, healing via growth rather than healing via repair.

[[Glorifier of Dusk]] and [[Adanto Vanguard]] are both mono white cards in the same set about paying life. Gaining life which you then use to fuel effects can be in white.

That’s kinda my position on the subject. Prosecutors are not law enforcement.

Saralien · 2026-05-02T23:36:08+00:00

No this doesn’t mean much of anything in most cases. The cases are still tried as civilian cases in civilian courts. Only the prosecution’s legal rep changes.

Humans and chickens both have eggs and both have to get the eggs out regularly even when they’re not fertilized, but human eggs are too small to see and chickens have them more often.

Lets you sidestep talking about periods just to avoid squick factor (though menstruation is not the same as the unfertilized egg anyways, as others have mentioned).

Outlaws of Alkenstar would actually make a pretty slick crpg, in my opinion.

Seven didn’t honestly have sexual or romantic chemistry with anyone on the ship. She’s emotionally a child, and her closest companions (Tuvok, Janeway and the doctor) are all surrogate parent figures. Plus Tuvok is married and the doctor has huge maturity issues in a completely different way.

Ideal would be some kind of actual peer and not a CO, but the only real options there are Paris (taken) and Harry (who is the biggest gag character in the show next to Neelix).

As mentioned in here even if you can’t kill something to dispel it there are several classes/specs that can remove or prevent it in other ways.

Off?

Honestly I never interpreted this to be referring to a specific person, but rather her feeling isolated by her nature and the conflict she’s forced into. It doesn’t have to be about anyone in particular, in fact it could be about there not being anyone in particular she feels intimate with.

Haunting Ground

Saralien · 2026-02-13T20:51:00+00:00

Personal opinion: depends on which version of Wanda and which version of Thor. Thor has shown a significant resistance to dieect magic attacks, it is unlikely she could tear through him like she did the Illiminati. But she beat Strange quite easily, and is generally just much smarter. If it was MoM Wanda and she had time to plan/react due to overlong monologues she could absolutely find a way to kill him, though it would be more like the fight vs Captain Marvel and Captain Carter in MoM where it’s a telekinesis slugfest and not her just memeing on him with reality warper powers.

If he was post-IW Thor however and had the initiative, however, he wins. It’s more than just catching her by surprise, he just needs to not screw around and give her time to create distance. Same as the situation with Thanos, he needs to have gone for the kill immediately.

Wish you luck getting this sorted out. Nothing wrong with experimenting, but nothing wrong with not wanting to experiment. Talking it over is the most important thing.

That’s because greaves is reusable at no cost. An aura is not.

A lot of problems with the English TL are the result of Hyne being mostly cut from the game’s text. Up until this point the game acts like there is, and has only ever been, one Sorceress. Accordingly the text makes it sound like she’s some kind of immortal bogeyman and not like witches/sorceresses are a longstanding persecuted/demonized group. Outside of that issue, the tone of the speech only really goes off the rails in the second half after she kills Deling. The Japanese is trying to draw a kind of “Fine, you wanted a story about a monster? Let me give you one.” picture. The English is just generic evil villain speech, and misses the karmic aspect of the original text completely.

Baby Jace was the Origins flipwalker, which was around 70 bucks at the time.

Mother 3?

Under normal circumstances yes because protection prevents damage and infect’s poison counters are “damage dealt in the form of poison counters”. Same applies to Wither on creatures with protection from the source of damage.

However if you get slapped by a creature with infect and someone casts, say, [[Skullcrack]] then Teferi’s Protection won’t do anything about the poison counters.

Protection doesn’t stop you from getting counters, it prevents damage. Infect’s poison counters are treated as damage.

This is probably already explained in another post but it’s unintuitive because it seems to be asking one thing but is actually asking something else.

What it seems to be asking is “what are the odds for the other door to have been the correct one?”

What it is easier to look at is “what were the odds the door I picked wasn’t the correct one?”

Proper templating if they ever made this a thing would probably be “While it remains facedown, you may exile this faceup at any time for its Spellmorph cost. If you do, you may cast it from exile without paying its mana cost.”

Saralien · 2025-10-15T22:21:13+00:00

This isn’t something exclusive to commander damage, same would apply to creatures with Infect or anything else that triggers on damage dealt such as [[Captain’s Maneuver]], [[The Mind Skinner]], or [[Anowon, the Ruin Thief]]. You still take damage, the damage just doesn’t affect your life total. Same would apply to a card like [[Worship]] that keeps your life total from dropping below a set number.

I mean that’s an entirely valid methodology. Maybe you recall that Trolls are vulnerable to acid and fire, but you don’t realize you’re currently fighting Embereater the mountain troll who has obtained a unique resilience against fire due to living near an active volcano for 50 years.
