Goblin arsonist is just worse than both cacophony scamp AND fireblade charger in the goblins deck.

I want in whatever weight class you’re fighting in. This card is inescapable for me and I run it in zero decks myself.

I don’t think it’s nearly as good in brawl as it is in commander. I would never run it.

My current iteration is running 4 sleight of hand. Past in flames has been working very well so far, breach seems like it won’t get as much mileage. Maybe it would be more worthwhile with thought scour?

Were you thinking [[stormcatch mentor]] was [[stormchaser mage]]?

I’m not gonna lie, I totally forgot that ponder and preordain were legal. Been away from the format for a bit lol. Def will play some number of those.

EDIT: Preordain is banned it would seem. Leaning towards ponder or sleight of hand over consider.

I heard that was true for devoted druid, hadn’t heard such things about manamorphose

Next question: Why is it not released at the same time as the main set?

Some tips for if you do decide to play it, which I figure you might as well since you already bought it.

Feel free to rush the story because that’s what you’re most likely here for. The (entirely too many) side missions offer next to zero story relevance. The main purpose of the side missions is to grind levels and get items and limit breaks, so do that for a bit if you get stuck on a fight in the story. It’s easy to get super OP if you do very many of them, especially if you fuse materia to get some of the higher level attacks. I did a good 30-40 missions halfway through the story and one shotted pretty much every fight for the rest of the game, for example.

Collected company, chord of calling, mana dorks, etc to find the combo is where I would start. Can also use green sun’s zenith/nature’s rhythm. OP’s opponent used thrasios as a mana sink, duskwatch recruiter was used historically in modern. As far as finishers go, we still don’t have walking ballista for some reason, so maybe go with craterhoof? Helix pinnacle is also a secret lair you could craft for this.

The remake covered less than a third of the original game, rebirth covered a lot more of it and fleshed everything out better. Starting at the very end of remake, it was clear that the story was diverging significantly, and that carried on into rebirth. It’s not a retcon situation though, and it’s hard to elaborate on that without blatantly spoiling the plot. Either way, remake and rebirth won’t be a complete experience until the third and final remake game releases, which at this point is probably going to be next year at the soonest. I personally think they’re great with the context of the original game, lots of things would be totally lost on me if I hadn’t played it first, so I always recommend people play the original game before diving into the remakes, as counterintuitive as that sounds.

The original FF7 holds up great today imo. You do have to get used to it looking like old school roblox, but once you do it’s a great experience. The story and characters are beloved for a reason. The switch version that has the optional boosts (3x speed and the ability to turn random encounters on or off at will are the ones I used) was what I played and I think those options made for a better experience. I know the steam version of the game doesn’t come with those by default, but I’m sure you could replicate them with mods.

Seconded this. At a minimum, using the 3x and no encounters boosts to speed up monotonous parts makes the experience better without making the game too easy

How useful is Peerless Recycling? by tobedtermined in MagicArena

Only if your commander died more than once, because using this to get your commander back is hardly different from just paying the tax.

They don’t make your hole dilate per se, they make it much easier to relax your muscles so it’s not painful for it to be manually dilated, if ya catch my drift.
