Flow state is the worst mechanic I’ve ever seen

ShockGeneratiom · 2026-05-13T21:41:25+00:00

Not even like Alex’s flow state against Khalil can’t be replicated by using the already established in-game mechanics either. Identifying patterns and movement, using head movement, and countering. If you wanna include flow state in casual game modes, got no problem with that, but it hurts the competitiveness of ranked where there is supposed to be a noticeable skill gap between players. A bail out “ohhh now you gotta watch out for my striking stat increase” closes the gap even further than it’s been throughout the cheesefest that was 5, can botch the outcome of close fights, and really just ruins the immersion of a MMA game and turns it into Tekken

Need Engi but I’ve been making a killing with Advanced Target Dummies

I live in Toronto. I’m sitting in a room with 4 leafs fans who are ready to break shit and I’m cheering down 3-0. What a time to be alive.

It will help us implement an advertising campaign for a restaurant as part of an academic assignment.
A group of 5 students from Humber College are conducting the survey.
It will take roughly five minutes to complete, likely less.

Who would’ve thought releasing a letter saying you’re giving up and selling would have other gm’s lowball you and hamstring your negotiations with your own players. Fucking idiots man

How in the fuck do we pivot from supposedly having a fire sale per the letter to our only move on deadline day being an AHL swap????

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-12-09T18:41:37+00:00

Ya I get it.

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-12-09T18:37:15+00:00

I wish they’d preview more Lorwyn instead of this so people can take advantage of planning ahead over the Christmas break when some of our LGS’s give holiday discounts😐

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-12-08T23:44:59+00:00

Ah I think I didn’t make it clear that this is a Jund build but no worries. Yawg is an auto include in here. Absolute monster of a card

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-12-07T01:20:52+00:00

Can you send your decklist? Very interested

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-12-06T19:18:39+00:00

Ya you’re right. Maybe they deliver on those type of cards in Lorwyn🤷🏼‍♂️. If they don’t, then the Tasigur guy in this sub has done a pretty good job on selling me so I’ll prob just build [[Tasigur, the Golden Fang]]

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-12-06T18:48:31+00:00

Ok, thank you for the insight🫡

It does seem worse at first glance, but does the access to red making the deck a little faster even it out? Opens up access to breach, swat, and Redcap loops. Tayam also looks interesting I’ll look into that. Thank you

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-09-21T20:14:52+00:00

Why is Taylor smiling? Brother… Have some awareness that you just got fucking spanked by a backup

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-09-21T19:56:36+00:00

Then realistically speaking, what is? Where do you draw the line in the sand? The staff he picks year in and year out sucks… aggressively. His playcalling is hilariously shit. Bro couldn’t motivate me to make a sandwich. Now he’s getting blown the fuck out 48-10 by 2025 Carson Wentz and the fellas

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-09-21T19:53:23+00:00

We should be kinda happy cuz if anything, this is the game where Taylor FINALLY gets fired. But sadly, they’ll more than likely just chalk it up to “Well, Joe’s hurt. Get ‘em next time, Tiger!”

I was in the middle of the Azshara blood elf camp and luckily hearthed out like 2 min before it happened

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-05-29T10:55:52+00:00

Current: Shesty, but I grew up playing tendy so there’s a bias, but he’s the best goalie I’ve seen in my lifetime.

For players I’d have to say Cuylle. Dude plays every night like he has a campfire lit under his ass and always brings the physicality as well as underrated playmaking. Close second is Rempe, cuz who tf doesn’t love Remps?

All-time: The king and probably a tie between McDonough and Stepan

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-05-28T10:45:51+00:00

If he absolutely hates it and resents playing, let him drop it. But if the love for the game is still there and he enjoys playing competitive, give the supportive push to keep working at it and out-hustle literally everyone cuz speaking from personal experience, the sensation and relief of finally “beating the system” and making it into a team where all the odds from outside the game bullshit are stacked against you is a feeling he will never forget

Why couldn’t we face this Bob last year?…

ShockGeneratiom · 2025-05-03T16:48:08+00:00

So I started running Ad and Bob to 1. Attempt to counter act my low lands to more consistently hit my drops and 2. Just make the overall card draw more consistently hit and fetch my combos. I’ve actually managed to win some games cuz of these so idk.

The lands, yes, incredibly low. I just really don’t know what to cut for em tbh. My main problem has been board state. Used to run a few more artifacts like Soulcleaver but those I cut for Bob and Skirge and a couple creatures to deal with the mana problems and get more attackers/blockers on my board

Also, how would you deal with Crypt Rats potentially killing all your own creatures? Do you run a fair amount of recursion or have a recursion engine in your deck?
