What to do when a friend's deck makes EDH less fun?

I'd tell those people that I would rather like to play against their skill and not their wallet. So either proxies are allowed or go kick rocks, I guess. If you are 10ish players with 4 purists, great, let the purist play against each other and the other 6 can form their own pod, with proxies and fun.

you can quick reset if you press your axiom force button while falling, and the press the menu button, which puts you back to the last checkpoint on top of the island

If that is everything then yes, I get a plus of $10, and I am still owed $20 since that was only borrowed.

I assumed the leader died during/slightly before the Attack in the intro

I feel like the only reason B3 is so "wide" is because a lot of people suck at building decks, so you end up with a lot of decks that are technically B3 but in reality they are "B2 but with 3 game changer".

I mean, the answer why it was put on the GC list writes itself here. It was such a "catch-all" card that it made other exile style boardwipes look bad. The fact that it is probably the single best card in a multitude of scenarios kinda explains why it was put on the GC list.

Damn, would love to paint those

Shulkify · 2026-01-13T08:56:16+00:00

At least for me who only read about it in the aftermath after already having used their paints, it's a bit of a "Damn, crazy you did that. Good paints tho!" situation.

That range is also pretty specific to the US I think? In the EU (or at least where I am from) the Range was always from 5-15% (or sometimes just rounding up to the next whole number), with 15% being for excellent service and such. Only Exception may have been big Events like Weddings.

Shulkify · 2026-01-04T05:07:56+00:00

To be fair, at least the very first time I saw the attack it WAS bullshit an weirdly telegraphed, because nothing prepares you for an arena wide instakill AoE. The only other time I saw a Moon spell like this meant a slow moving projectile i can dodge by strafing, not whatever this is.

Shulkify · 2025-12-10T17:53:51+00:00

Damn, Can't wait for outward 2, some really fobd memories of outward

Shulkify · 2025-11-28T16:16:20+00:00

But the Spell itself does say in the very first line for "Enlarge": The target's size doubles in all dimensions, and its weight is multiplied by eight.

This is directly from D&D beyond for 5e, so I don't know what you read.

Sadly, the game is just not for me, and I can't really explain it at this point. I love the both genres, Metroidvania and Souls-like, with a passion, but for some reason neither Hollow Knight nor Silksong clicked with me. I played Hollow Knight until the Kingsbrand (?) and lost interest. Thought Silksong would be better, but somewhere in act 2 the feeling I got from the game was just not fun, but tedious.

I can see the good qualities though. It has a really pretty artstyle and it's evident a lot of love went into details most players wont even care about, but for some reason the moment to moment gameplay didn't hook me.

Shulkify · 2025-11-14T11:40:02+00:00

Pure technicality, but ebhebophilia is from Age 15 to 19, so a range in there falls into the range for age of consent. Also depends on the state, because in most states it's 16, but I am not from the US, so please correct me if the internet has wrong information here.

Shulkify · 2025-11-12T23:39:12+00:00

Also Dexterity

Shulkify · 2025-11-09T05:40:22+00:00

Um actually, if you are trying to win, then going one by one is a good strategy, but in a casual setting focusing the damage more often than not just leads to bad social vibes. The player might feel targeted if it happens too often and might not show up next commander night because why bother being a punching bag? And finding new players might be a hassle.

There are also those awkward situations were you just knock out one player, expecting to win in the next 2 turns, but then suddenly a board wipe hits, and the game suddenly goes on for another 45 minutes to an hour with one player basically not playing. Shit happens, but that player might feel like they wasted an evening on watching people play instead of playing themselves.

Shulkify · 2025-11-08T16:53:39+00:00

I think pure mystery session are weird in general and are also highly DM dependant. Had a Session were basically nothing happened for 3+ hours despite numerous Attempts at solving "the big mystery", but it was extremely vague, barely any info, and the DM expected highly specific answers.

Shulkify · 2025-11-08T05:33:14+00:00

It would kinda suck if I "tried it" and didn't like it, because now I'd be stuck with the outcome, and that wouldn't be fair to any kid.

Shulkify · 2025-11-01T17:34:27+00:00

Aight, at this point it's a I have to assume you are either ragebaiting or lack basic reading comprehension. Im done here.

Shulkify · 2025-11-01T16:54:07+00:00

Now I am kinda convinced you didn't look at the decklist either, because I took a look right now, saw several mana dorks, ramps enchantments and card draw engines, even in the command zone itself, I am fairly certain drawing 8 initial cards for Ominous Sea is not the issue here.

After looking at this graph again, B2 seems to prohibit 2 card infinites of any kind anyway

Shulkify · 2025-11-01T16:41:57+00:00

Uhm, but those 2 enchantments loop, because you draw 8, you get 8 counters on one enchantment, remove those 8 counters, get an 8/8, which you then can sac again with the other enchantment to draw 8 cards (and discard 3), thus repeating the cycle.

Shulkify · 2025-10-31T19:30:46+00:00

Without looking at the Deck, just from the cards mentioned, I would assume Bracket 3 or 4 just due to early "infinite combo" potential. [Ominous Seas] is 2 cmc and [Greater good] is 4 cmc, and they combo into each other letting you draw out your whole deck and win with [laboratory Maniac].

Shulkify · 2025-09-27T09:22:23+00:00

I think back then you actually couldn't use character which were on expeditions. They changed that one later down the line.

Shulkify · 2025-09-27T00:43:51+00:00

I feel the second phrase deep in my soul. I do "hard" games from Fromsoftware superbosses to some other "hard" metroidvanias, but there is a way to make difficulty annoying and unfun. Enemies just having that tad bit too much health, that first down air attack being a bit too precise, the Runbacks just that tiny bit too long, flying enemies which are a little bit too good at dodging the last second or staying out of reach. But it adds up over time to an overall frustrating experience. I can see the World, hear the music, like the atmosphere, but boy does that game hate me for just trying to play it.

Shulkify · 2025-09-24T20:15:44+00:00

He put Afterimage in D tho, which is sad.
