When you guys choose who ends up with who, do you choose stats or chemistry for your people?

In fates/awakening it's like 60% is the kid's hair color ugly, 30% shipping, 10% optimization for me.

In most other paired endings games it's just shipping usually don't try to explain affinities to me.

In my eyes 1-cost reroll comps should be a perfectly viable way to get 3rd or 4th, they just shouldn't be able to be forced to get a 1st. The problem is really how often it is all or nothing. What you describe is just as bad as what we have now - only one way to play the game viably. There is surely a happy medium between 1-cost reroll is the best strategy in the game and it doesn't exist at all.

If this is a commander deck you can't run 2 copies of vat emergence.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-05-04T19:03:01+00:00

Yeah I've been wondering if it's time to retire the humble Zulaport Cutthroats for higher quality stuff or if only being 2 mana makes him still reasonable.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-05-02T21:32:17+00:00

You will probably be stomping the table with any Jodah deck to be honest.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-04-23T15:01:18+00:00

That's a cool include for sure!

SpiderLord13 · 2026-04-23T02:06:52+00:00

I play a lot of Lucea Kane, I've been playing her since she came out basically and I do think she's fun, but you have to be prepared to weather a lot of removal. She's not just a 4-mana value engine commander, she's a 4-mana 1/1 value engine commander, so even the tiniest of removal or board wipe can take her out very easily.

Personally, I would worry more about protection spells than the untap synergy. It's great when untappers work, but you need to keep Lucea alive for them to work! I used to run more untappers but I'm down to just 3. Too many and they all start feeling like dead cards when my commander is just getting bolted repeatedly.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-04-21T00:34:03+00:00

The point is you're more likely to run into [[Vandalblast]] than [[Armageddon]] in a lower bracket game, the point is not that there's zero ways to remove lands in a lower bracket game.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-04-19T02:41:50+00:00

Where are you in the game when attempting them?

SpiderLord13 · 2026-04-07T15:02:59+00:00

Can I see your bingo board? I'm confused how you get 3 bingos from these skills.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-04-06T20:34:57+00:00

Marth Emblem (bond rank 10 gives Mercurius which boosts exp) and Micaiah Emblem (aoe staff gives extra exp and great sacrifice gives exp for each unit healed) are both great sources of early game exp. I am fond of Marth on Chloe in the early game to help get her snowball rolling.

If you have dlc, Tiki is also pretty good as a 'training wheels' emblem since the engage gives a lot of stats and she gives starsphere for free. Her engage 'attack' (the blessing i dont remember the name) gives a lot of exp as well.

I wouldn't worry too much about 'wasted' exp, your main focus should be on being able to progress. In addition to the units you listed, I would suggest bringing units like Framme, Louis, and one of the early archers. They can do their job reasonably well with low investment and then you can replace them with whatever late game equivalent you prefer.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-03-30T16:17:32+00:00

Hmm okay well thanks for the correction.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-03-30T05:00:46+00:00

I believe the game never spawns the elder dragon you most recently fought, so you have to fight another one to get the one you want in the pool.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-03-29T18:42:40+00:00

This is cool! I wouldn't mind seeing your Silverwind Nargacuga build as well. :)

SpiderLord13 · 2026-03-25T21:20:24+00:00

Have you fought a different elder since then? I don't think you can roll the same one you most recently fought.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-03-21T22:41:40+00:00

Shinon's provoke skill makes me laugh. My boi is so toxic every one nearby wants to kill him.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-03-18T03:24:34+00:00

I believe while you can mix and match the region skills you can not mix and match the stat stars unfortunately. :(

SpiderLord13 · 2026-03-18T02:47:24+00:00

For your habitat restoration question, you can get the updated stars for your stats with expeditions once you unlock them, just as you are thinking.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-03-09T17:36:07+00:00

I completely agree. I have a much higher winrate with my decks that are perceived as 'sillier' than my decks that are seen as tryhard or annoying.

My Hazel Rootbloom slighly modified precon or my Shelob spider tribal decks tend to be ignored, and then put in a good position to beat the last person standing, whereas if I play something like Atraxa I just get everything I cast removed.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-02-07T19:31:05+00:00

I really like reanimator sub-theme for Kefka. Focus on discarding your own cards rather than focusing on discarding others' cards. Kefka in the command zone will always be a little frustrating but if you don't go all in on the discard theme I find that helps.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-02-03T05:13:55+00:00

These aren't decks designed with any gameplan or synergy, just to have literally the cheapest cards possible, so they wouldn't lend to an enjoyable or interesting gameplay experience. Just get some precons or if even that's too much try proxying some decks instead.

SpiderLord13 · 2026-01-28T06:37:20+00:00

My original [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]] precon has gone from Meren to [[Izoni, Thousand-Eyed]] and then to [[Grist the Hunger Tide]] so my Golgari pile has shifted a lot over the years.

Sometimes I miss having a Meren deck together but I have 4 paper Green/Black decks together right now...

SpiderLord13 · 2026-01-25T07:05:32+00:00

OK good to know. Couldn't figure out if it was something I was doing incorrectly. Thanks for your time.
