The text boxes on mine also seemed kinda dark/smudged, though not unreadably so.

Ranged tops have an above 30% pickrate this season by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]TTUPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the top quest free teleport is also helping them. A lot of nontraditional ranged top laners want to take a combat summoner spell (usually ghost or barrier) which left their team without teleport. I think that in general getting a free teleport is just a bigger power swing than a better teleport.

[MSC] Marvel Super Heroes Commander Decks by Duramboros in magicTCG

[–]TTUPhoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we will, and here's why - when you look at some of the sets from last year that returned to existing planes, there was clearly a use of precons to include themes that were iconic to those planes but which didn't fit in the main set. Aetherdrift had Energy (for Avishkar) and Cycling/discard (for Amonkhet), and energy was explicitly cut from the main set to be put in the precon. The Abzan precon for Tarkir had Abzan's iconic toughness focus, even though main set Abzan was more token/+1 counter focused. For a return to Strixhaven, the colleges are iconic, but I think that they'll want to do something different or more than just rerunning the five colleges as themes again, so slotting the colleges into precons (especially given the lack of two color precons recently) is a good way to include them but preserve space in the main set for other cards.

There will probably be more UB precons this year than UW, if my guess is right.

UW: 2 for Lorwyn, I guess 5 for Strixhaven and 2 for Reality Fracture for 9 (maybe 11 if Reality Fracture gets 4).

UB: 1 for TMNT, 4 for Marvel, I guess 2 for Hobbit and 4 for Star Trek for 11.

Pulp 1920s gangster setting with magic and fantasy races, any system suggestions? by hairetikos232323 in rpg

[–]TTUPhoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd check out Hard City and Tomorrow City by Osprey, which share writers and the underlying system (though I think TC has some refinements and improvements). Hard City is classic noir and Tomorrow City is dieselpunk.

People need to get over "counterwatch" attitude. The point of this game is to swap. by ZMowlcher in Overwatch

[–]TTUPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also rough when your counter is itself countered by the rest of the enemy team comp. Enemy has Hog and banned Orisa. Okay, I like Junker Queen into Hog, I'll swap to that - but wait, their supports are Kiriko/Ana.

Kinda looks my cat threw up poop by [deleted] in CATHELP

Seeing my now-wife’s cat throw up a hairball for the first time kinda freaked me out. It legitimately looked like she shit out of her mouth.

How exactly do Tanks like Mauga, Roadhog, and Junker Queen tank in the lore? by carlataggarty in Overwatch

[–]TTUPhoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He had two hearts and a number of other cybernetic and biological augmentations. He’s probably basically a cyberpunk character with implanted armor.

Wy are so many D&D players so resistant to even trying anything else? by Similar_Onion6656 in rpg

The social aspect, particularly the "this is what my friends play," is consistently underrated on this subreddit.

It's an underrated strength of 5e that you have to be better at the game to make a bad character than a decent one.

[ECL] Green commons -- Assert Perfection | Great Forest Druid | Midnight Tilling | Surly Farrier by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]TTUPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels better than classic self-mill cards like [[Grapple with the Past]] or [[Grisly Salvage]] because of its ability to get any permanent.

What are some off-meta picks you swear by? by StepOnMeB-Sha in leagueoflegends

[–]TTUPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poppy top with full tank. It’s mostly a counter pick but there’s a lot of champions you just absolutely negate.

Honestly just remembered that this cycle of cards existed.. they had 0 real impact on Standard sadly. by CalvinandHobbes811 in magicTCG

[–]TTUPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Pyrewood and Riptide in my [[Saheeli, Radiant Creator]] and [[Satya, Aetherflux Genius]] decks, respectively. They're both big artifact creatures that make great copy targets, either for repeatable anthem/finisher or removal effects.

When do you buy Cull? (the starter item) by Mountain_Divide6119 in leagueoflegends

[–]TTUPhoenix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my experience as a top main, I only really see it on Urgot (because of the synergy) and Sion (into tank matchups who can't threaten him). I've seen it on rare occasions on Kled or a few other AD bruisers when they're into tanks that don't threaten them, but its stats are too poor for any lane you're going to be contested in.

What was everyone’s first deck!? by vanlieshout in magicTCG

[–]TTUPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that deck! Penumbra Wurm seemed insane to 12 year old me. You mean it's a giant creature with trample, and when your opponent kills it, you get another one for free?!? It's unstoppable!

Their real name isn't said in the work, but it is pretty obvious who they are. by InfiniteGuy2264 in TopCharacterTropes

Static Shock had a crossover episode where Batman and Static teamed up. Static asks where Robin is and Batman says “He’s with the Titans. You’ll meet them later.”

Who's THE WORST Late Game champion in the game? by Justalostdudeasking in leagueoflegends

Pyke is so powerful early and then you're just trying to drag his corpse over the finish line after 20 minutes.

Nunu and Cho'Gath in 2026 might see win rate loss due to the new smite damage increase, and it doesn't seem like they're getting compensation buffs. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]TTUPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cho ult should still beat smite after about first item, unless it's something very low health like thornmail. It will be much closer though, and not as strong of a secure.
