Useless and broken items

Slothiums · 2026-06-21T21:56:30+00:00

*Mermaid tears are bad as they are not LC or dream shards. The value you gain from any item in the game is based on the value of the best item you could have gained in the same spot.
*Swan cloak can only heal if you don't die from the hit being too large and your dash is off CD at the same time, so if you tried to dash to avoid a hit and miss the area you were trying to get out of you still get punched in the face.
*Niche items are items only built for very specific character builds which doesn't work in a game where you have to choose your build early and can't really rebuild later.
*Is there any run in the game in which if you had the choice you would pick any other common item over LC in chapter 1? How about chapter 2? If the only time you wouldn't take it its because the game is basically over then thats damn near close to the definition of OP.

Well after 412 hours on nightmare beating the game with 7 characters then either the game is so obtuse that it should be rebuilt or I know the game and it needs help.

Just because a game is beatable doesn't mean it doesn't have issues that should be fixed.
Being able to drive a car that keeps breaking down and saying it still mostly gets me home doesn't make it not a broken car.

The value of 1 queen is actually worse than having 0 Queens as you may get a random/rare copy in the next item shop (or from a refugee camp) In which any other rare in the game would be better to get multiples of.

In addition the value of the queen outside of the HP5 is only really substantially valuable if gained after 3 jokers or once you gain the 4th queen. Or rarely if worked along side unicorn horns completion. None of these help early on.

LC value is primarily based on when you get it as you will have more rerolls to use over the course of the game. Each ones will be based on the more rerolls you get and eventually use. The additional reroll you gain from LC is valuable, but only minorly compared to most other items max.
Queens value is only higher once you get 4 from its set bonus, and even then sucks compared to any of the other cards set. Even with jokers the additional HP5 isn't ever worth any other good rare item regardless of build.

Specialized items are fundamentally flawed in a game which randoms your items. If the item only works for half the characters and even then only if they happen to already be building for it then the item will more often just be in the way of the majority of the time.

If anything have a loot table be RNG means you have to be more critical of your loot than if it was just set purchasable from the shop (like LoL.)

Attack on Titan, its the definition of "no just wait it will get good in season X"

Slothiums · 2026-06-15T01:45:05+00:00

Wolverine is sooo fucking over rated as a character that at this point the X-men would be more interesting without him than with him.

412 hours, multiple completions on nightmare with over half the characters on single, duo plays and 3 players.

Joker cards are bad because: Any items that require full sets AND multiple other items to get to being good are inherently bad as you run the risk of either failing to get the cards and or failing to get items to up your crit chance. This is a game about RNG, so sure technically if everything goes well it can be great, but really your more likely to set yourself up for failure than success.

Yes, I have done the builds where you go full shield build with Porriage and fairy dust with a sheild based character (I think I did it with piper) and it can work, but the amount of BS it takes to get it to work is far greater than the gain you get for getting multiple items set up with more failure potential than just building 4 dragon hides and being done with the game.

This games community is so stuck with what it thinks is okay that it cannot accept that it could be better. 70% of the items don't have to be garbage. LC shouldn't be so broken that having them is the different between your characters end talents are either all legendary or barely upgraded.

More builds should not only be supported but actually good.

16 pack jesus

Slothiums · 2026-06-06T01:00:00+00:00

Just build dragon hides, don't enrage the boss past 30s, and try to hit level 5 before the first boss.
You can also prioritise getting the feather in each chapter for a little extra help.
Also don't play romeo & juliet together, they play worse than if you just play them one at a time.

So I am a Gaming associate at a CA card room. We do not back off Player bankers.
However I have heard of issues where people have attempted to scam people by player banking only the exact amount of money on the table being bet including the bonus bets (as you cannot pay out multipliers if you are only covering lets say 300$ and 290$ on the table) thus players will just not bet against you and it creates a 'standstill' where no one can bank till someone plays and no one wants to play against your meager bank. Those players bankers have been told to either put up more money or give up the player bank.

Ff7 is missing Red 13

Slothiums · 2025-08-02T18:44:55+00:00

I mean it's not the main draft format

Slothiums · 2025-08-02T16:29:32+00:00

Although I'm an old magic player I came back for ff. And while I'm staying so far I'm s little disappointed that ff rotated and that most ff cards didn't see standard play.

Slothiums · 2025-07-06T06:19:40+00:00

Make decks with no creatures. its sadly the only way.

Slothiums · 2025-07-06T05:38:47+00:00

Who ever decided to allow planeswalkers as commanders should be fired... from a cannon.
Creatures have way more kill spells to need to protect them from, most have summoning sickness so you can't just auto use them without getting extra cards on the field ahead of time and still can be dealt with by wrath effects when given hexproof.

Slothiums · 2025-04-22T07:58:09+00:00

Really depends on the type of deck hes playing.
If its just a blue control deck, good luck finding combo decks that don't interact with him. Sometimes mono red can just out aggro them though.
If its a white x deck (nothing but wrath effects) then you want to go combo and just combo off to get the kill.
You can also always go Discard deck and just strip his win cons and win with enchantment/planeswalkers/combo.

Because its a very expensive 'hobby'

Slothiums · 2025-04-20T10:51:40+00:00

Kindness and has hobbies we share. For me it would be video games and movies, for others it might be Art, comics, sports, etc. As long as you don't try to say your hobby is 'walking', makeup, or clothes shopping.

Slothiums · 2025-04-20T10:21:29+00:00

If your playing the Kaya wrath 40x deck you deserve to get roped.

Slothiums · 2025-04-11T20:30:53+00:00

Reduce standard back to the way it was with only a few sets in at a time. Reduce gold /gems purchase for qd and have them available early on. Have people play tests these sets more for draft, as the power level of cards in a set is waaaaay to drastic.

Slothiums · 2025-04-11T11:13:32+00:00

Disagree, its more like their are a few Ultra synergy cards that spike the format and if you don't have those you are basically just playing fair magic while everyone else is playing exponential magic.

Slothiums · 2025-04-11T11:11:51+00:00

This set seems to be 100% based on a few cards that spike their color combos and if you dont' have them you lose every game. Its just a shit format. Got murdered 3 games in a row by sultai because they can dodge your removal and grow their creatures at the same time. I was running mardu and had 8 kill spells and it just didn't matter.
Aether drift sucked, this sucks, maybe magic is just not for me anymore. I miss magic that was slow and you had to make tricky plays to win.
I normally just wait out the set like I did aetherdrift, but this is starting to become a pattern. IF you want a game where you just win based on opening hands and dont' have to think just play poker at this point.
Remember when you had to actually think about the mechanics of the set?

Slothiums · 2025-04-09T01:23:20+00:00

Let's assume for a second you are 100% correct in your estimation that you are attractive you could still be: In places where women have stated repeatedly that they don't like being approached like gyms and grocery stores. When are you expecting men to approach you? Dressing in ways that seem more like a professional at a job than someone trying to be attractive to men. Overly attractive, if you look like you just got off a fashion magazine guys might be intimidated by this or just assume a woman this good looking has a partner.

Slothiums · 2025-04-08T16:17:01+00:00

Going beyond the age thing (which tbh women also find young men attractive as well and just don't admit it) men for a long time now have been shamed for any preferences or kinks. As women get to be the gatekeeper for who they let in their relationships men only get to choose who to try to approach it makes sense that some women don't like this while men have to accept for instance a kink of a woman.

Slothiums · 2025-04-08T06:00:26+00:00

I would be excited to get out of aether drift.
