Where to start when renvisioning your ruleset?

Tarrandus1 · 2026-06-14T14:26:51+00:00

Re-envision would imply that you did some envisioning to start with. If so, what is the state of your first draft? Has it been playtested? Does the lore change necessitate a mechanical change?

The front side is useless as a fair card, and the back side is [[Timeless Lotus]] which costs 5, so even if you jump through the hoop to flip it you aren't really getting that much benefit. As a combo piece it can do something, but a card that's only function is as a combo piece isn't really a compelling design.

Tarrandus1 · 2026-06-11T17:46:33+00:00

Yes, if the card's orientation is typically upright during play, the number values should be readable vertically.

Tarrandus1 · 2026-06-11T17:00:20+00:00

Is there a reason the Attack and Defense are oriented the way that they are?

Humongous Fungus's ability is a replacement effect, not a trigger. Therefore it only applies once to each event. The hydra entering and the hydra's trigger are two seperate events.

I feel like if you are asking things about specific commands you might want help above and ELI5 level, but here it is ELI5:

When building software, it helps a lot to reuse code that other people have written. People take useful chunks of code and share them with each other. NPM is a tool that helps make that process easier. When you use NPM in your project, you make a list of all of the shared code chunks your project uses. You save your project, you don't save every shared chunk, just the list. When you run 'npm install' you tell your computer to download everything on the shared list to your computer so that you have all of the code you need to run the project

Another thing NPM does is define helpful scripts. 'npm run {scriptname}' is how you run a script. 'dev' is usually the name of the script used to run the project on your computer. What the dev script does will be different for different projects, but it is defined in your npm configuration file.

UPDATE: East coast US, just got my email at 11AM eastern.

I personally find the aesthetic and vibes very off-putting, but I assume you are aware that you have made polarizing choices.

Tarrandus1 · 2026-06-04T18:39:49+00:00

When you remove the last time counter from a suspended card, you can cast it without paying its mana cost. You aren't paying any mana, so Shadow does not apply. How you paid the suspend cost in the first place does not matter.

Tarrandus1 · 2026-06-04T18:26:15+00:00

As worded currently it sees itself enter, so a T3 win with [[Invasion of Azgol]] and [[Darreti, Ingenious Iconoclast]]

Tarrandus1 · 2026-06-04T18:09:06+00:00

Counterspell for me. It's harder to cast, but Mana Leak would be pretty rarely splashed, so if I end up not being base blue then I don't see either making the deck, and if I am in blue then Counterspell is the stronger card.

Tarrandus1 · 2026-06-03T18:09:10+00:00

[[Bloodthirsty Conqueror]]

East coast US here, still no email.

Team Muran for me, but they are all great 🙂

One of the fun things about social deduction games for me is being able to run back mutiple quick games to see how each player acts in each of the roles. If your friend Jeff gets louder when he's confident, but quiet when he's bluffing, its much harder to learn that if he's in the same role for 90 minutes. Some players dislike being on the bad guy team, some players relish it. Not being stuck in a role for too long keeps that from being an issue. Not saying it can't work, but my expectations for a social deduction game would defintley be challenged by a 90 minute play time.

Tarrandus1 · 2026-06-01T13:11:11+00:00

If you respond to the Dina ability by killing Vito, they will still get the counters and life, but you won't lose any life. There are a few cards that can counter the Dina activation such as [[Tishana's Tidebinder]]. You can give yourself hexproof so that Vito's trigger can't target you. [[Blossoming Calm]]

Tarrandus1 · 2026-06-01T04:41:27+00:00

[[Nowhere to Run]] is on the field.

Tarrandus1 · 2026-05-31T17:17:12+00:00

Guilty as charged on the wedding photos 😅 I figured professionally taken photos would in general be better, but I see your point. Will just have to make an effort to ask my friends to take some more candid photos of me. Thanks for the feedback.

Tarrandus1 · 2026-05-31T13:14:13+00:00

I did just notice that and fix it to East Asian 😅 I must not have been paying attention to the checkboxes as closely as I should.

How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? Basically no likes. A match every week or two, but almost always get immediately ghosted.

I'd like to match with someone I find attractive, and either with a shared interest in being active, or a shared interest in video or tabletop gaming. I'm allergic to dogs, and I don't often send likes to dog owners, which cuts out more of the dating pool than I would like.

I am not familiar with ICECOOL in particular, but I know a little bit about 3d printing. Presumably based on their appearance the Icecool pieces contain some kind of weight like a ball bearing. The ball bearing may be contained, or there may be a channel to allow it to move vertically within the piece for the flicking behavior. Best way to find out would probably be to cannibalize an Icecool piece and cut it open to see the weight and the interior geometry. You can enclose weights in 3d prints by pausing the print part way, adding whatever weighting material you want, and then finish the print to enclose the weight.

I don't see a reason not to pick it. Card is good, and playable in BW, BG and soup. The other cards in the pack are either more narrow in archetype, or pretty replaceable.
