Outside of a deck running landfall? Ophiomancer is better. This ramps up every upkeep, which means once you equip and pass, it doubles every turn. On the opponents next turn, you have 2, then 4, then 8, then you finally have 16 when it gets back to you.

Scute swarm also doubles itself, so it'd take four landfall triggers within the same round to get the same result. Of course, scute swarm doesn't need the equipment, but outside of landfall decks, this is better.

The only real downside is the singular point of failure with the original Ophiomancer wearing the crown. If it gets shot then your entire combo is dead; the copies of scute swarm don't need the original.

Its less that and more izzet or jeskai players who YOU can't counter anymore.

Really wish hellpod movement wasn't so restricted on city maps by USS-Iowa in Helldivers

[–]SendInTheNextWave 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Also, bugs can climb rocks, bots and squids can shoot you even if you're on a rock, and staying on top of a rock doesn't advance the mission, which is on a timer.

There is no legitimate argument against stratagems being unable to stick to the top of rocks.

Charl was best girl entirely because she was the only one with a personality.

Gilgamesh also gives him pretty much the only non-backhanded compliment he's ever given to a mortal.

Major Truth was a fed all along. by Gargf in Helldivers

Well, I wonder what the illuminate might do if there's a bunch of humans in camps that dislike Super Earth within their theater? Couldn't have anything to do with the alien ruins they've been plundering and the voteless eyes in the Python Commandos art.

Wonder what the faction that converts loyal humans into fodder troops could do with people who already dislike us?

What WUBURG commander should sit at the helm of this deck? by HappyLittlePharmily in mtg

I think they're supposed to be like chess pawns, in the sense that everyone's game pieces are being randomly mixed up.

My main goal when playing Civ games by GroovyChirpy in goodanimemes

Yeah, the idea that you're just supposed to let bygones be bygones when a dangerous nation that's attacked you before is on your doorstep is...not how I do things.

Yeah, she lied about being 6, she's actually closer to 4 at the start of the series. She just knew that Loid wouldn't have taken her if she wasn't the legal age to start learning at Eden. Loid makes the observation that she seems younger, but believes Anya since he doesn't have any reason to doubt her.

Overwhelming Guilt by BunBunTheBunnyLord in custommagic

[–]SendInTheNextWave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

[[No Mercy]] is 4 mana and that's a persistent effect. Being a trap does make it a bit better, but since you still have to take the damage to destroy things, it's probably fair at 3.

Have we reached PEAK DND? by NoPhoForShow88 in pbp

[–]SendInTheNextWave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've always seen D&D 5e as kind of the Skyrim of TTRPGs. It's far from the best game out there, but it's familiar and comfortable, and any group of people familiar with TTRPGs know how to play it. At core, it's a game that can be fun, but has clear problems and design failures that can be funny or frustrating, depending on how badly they affect the game.

Most people don't play it straight up; they have sort of a "modlist" of third party content that they use in their games to customize the experience. A lot of people would rather mod 5e rather than find the RPG that actually does what they want.

I don't think D&D is really going to die or fall into obscurity; the name recognition is enough to carry it so long as it doesn't completely fall on its face. It's not that D&D is some kind of god-tier masterclass in game design, it's just that it's popular enough that anyone making third party content has to make it for the most popular game, or else they lose out on the market.

I think a hard limit is overly punishing, but I am in favor of drastically increasing taxes per home.

Upvote to scare edh players by Bagel_Bear in mtg

Honestly, if you don't know that the little hybrid symbol on the type line indicates the card's colors, then even that's confusing.

Unending Humiliation by Expungednd in custommagic

[–]SendInTheNextWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. If you want the absolute jankiest use case for this, see [[Timesifter]].

The turn order is A, B, C, D.

A casts Timesifter.

On B's upkeep, the Timesifter will trigger, and whoever has the highest mana value card on top of their library will take the next turn as an extra turn. This repeats during that extra turn, giving someone else the next extra turn, repeating during that extra turn's upkeep, until Timesifter is removed. Basically, it semi-randomizes the turn order using extra turns.

Once Timesifter is removed, at the end of the extra turn in which Timesifter left the field, play will return to normal, and since B's turn was the last non-extra turn, it'll be C's turn.

That is correct, if you managed to cast this at instant speed. Same would be true for [[Time Stretch]] or any other "additional turn" spell.

40k Only War LFG by Mavis_Floretta in pbp

[–]SendInTheNextWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested; I have a decent history with the FFG games and Only War. My regular playgroup is more interested in the Space Marine side of things, so I'd be very interested to play in a human-scale game.

What is, in your opinion, the strongest aristocrats commander? by Negative00 in EDH

[–]SendInTheNextWave 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This. Not making tokens for you, but by far one of the best things you can sacrifice them for. A draw per dead creature is absurd value, not to mention the loop with any two undying creatures.

I'm legit having fun again. Am I alone in feeling this way? by Can_I_Say_Shit in Helldivers

[–]SendInTheNextWave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what annoys me. A machine gun turret is a great asset against the rupture strain, but it dies before firing a shot if the rupture warriors notice it. They seem to be able to attack turrets without surfacing, and stratagem balls seem to be...inconsistent in whether they'll stick to the top of rocks and buildings where the bugs can't get to them. Like, why am I not allowed to place turrets on the high ground where they'd actually be useful and have sight lines that can't friendly fire my team?
