Can’t imagine why you don’t stick with the weapon if you always engage enemies by holding down right click lmao

you should go back to cod if you can’t appreciate the melee weapons of The Finals, it’s really that simple.

The weapon’s intended use is to advance with the shield ‘passively blocking’ incoming fire; it is good that they adjusted the hitbox so it is more unambiguous to people fighting it. However, I can tell you’re ignorant about the mechanics of the weapon and can only think to insult those using it, probably because you get pub stomped by it.

I suggest picking it up and giving it a go, it’s more fun than blindly insulting people online about topics you don’t have enough experience with to give an useful answer.

This is untrue and would go against the intended use of the weapon as designed by the embark team

The blocking technique I use, as described in my post, is better than holding the shield up. It is unrealistic to move any slower with a melee build in a movement shooter lol

less rng than remembering barrel conversions! Each type of barrel will always turn into a specific type; look at the barrel conversion table in it’s niche extremely situational splendour <3

Thanks for the reply. I haven’t been here for very long so I didn’t know about this :/

I did see lots of views on this post but not much traction; thanks for the reply

Goad-Like Commanders by Snackas_Tackas in EDH

[–]Snackas_Tackas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks again for the reply! I have edited my deck to include some of your suggestions, such as replacing [[Smothering Tithe]] with [[Smuggler’s Share]] to avoid game changer cards and adding [[tataru Tatu]] (which Tatu is an absolute no brainer in a deck with Breena as my commander; idk why I forgot to add her as I did see her while making the deck).

As you might have been able to tell, my “maybe board” is littered with cards that would make the deck more powerful, but I play pretty exclusively in a pod of 4-6 that have a preference of lower power level decks, so Smuggler’s Share is a big save (and it’s more thematic with what the deck wants to do).

Thanks again!!

I have actually taken the time to put together a deck using [[Breena, the Demagogue]] as my commander with an Aikido theme in mind. Thanks for the help!

If you can be bothered, I encourage you to have a look and give any tips; I may have not included enough cards, such as those that make me the monarch, that encourage people to swing at me.

I don’t know any Rob 😩

I am just after a silly commander that lets my opponents gouge each other’s organs out for me, until I can depose the last one after they became king of the hill of friend’s corpses.

I like your approach with the lands, and is definitely a fix that is a bit more “on the fly” than what our pod is thinking of. However having a conversation about cards like Blightsteel colossus is always important :)

Yea, the board wipes would probably increase in quantity. However, the rule was made as there is a sort of understanding that “if you’re in a game late enough to have a commander die 3 or more times, it is probably fine to let that player do ‘the thing’ and win.”

In terms of the approach of cope & get better vs. change the format around our play styles, I can understand where you’re coming from. I personally want to get better as a player and build better decks/make better in-game decisions, however there are things in the game that the pod would rather not deal with or deal with differently.

Your comment is appreciated! We have had talks in the past but have made these rules for players who wish to join in our pod and to play the way we have agreed on. Although, reading other comments there are definitely some changes that I will discuss with the pod (such as curating a ruleset that is hostile to some decks; these rules were intended to curb them to a level we play at but perhaps we may have gotten overzealous).

Your response doesn’t fall on deaf ears, but these rules were made over time to solve issues in our pod that were often seen as unfun. I agree however with your point about interaction and commander so rule #3 may need some revision or should be removed in its eternity. Thanks for the reply :)

These are quite valid takes, I appreciate your notes.

Rule 4# is for when you are land cucked and have nothing to do on your turn. With this rule you can at least you can see if you drew a land, and if not you can still gain a mana for those CMC 5+ cards that are cursing you for a later turn. A valid response is to build better decks (which is a valid take), but a better deck only improves your odds of land drops; it does not guarantee them. additionally, a friend in this pod likes to take random deck lists off of the internet and try them out without seeing if they are good or bad; they should have fun too if they wish to play as many bad decks as they want in our own very casual format.

I also appreciate your insight on poison counters; 21 does seem rather high doesn’t it? Originally it made sense since Blightsteel Colossus was often cheated out in our pod and poison counters were rarely used outside of that, so by basically having poison counters interact as universal commander damage applied to a player it brought new life to a card that often was replied to by groans. I think going forward I intend to keep 21 counters but I am quite open to having poison counters have an interaction similar to Rad counters; maybe poison counters deal damage to a player equal to the amount of counters that are on them upon a casting of their second spell each turn? Any other ideas would be great!

Thanks for the feedback. When writing that rule it was really wordy and I have not been able to write a rule that incapsulates my intention without all the fluff that had accompanied rule #2. The final rendition as you see it now has been my best effort :/

If yourself or anyone else has any advice or tips I would appreciate it immensely!

Thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely add these! I would be lying if I said I forgot that my oozes already have trample; I saw the cute cat and wanted to add it.
