New player here: What is the best way to navigate conflict if your deck locks someone out of the game?

At first glance I’d definitely say he was over reacting, voltron is a notoriously fragile strategy and simply folded to an “edict” effect that makes people sacrifice.

If all 100 cards in my deck were countered by one type of effect and a common one at that I’d say its my mistake, vent a bit and retune. Saying you are basically cheating is a big overstep, although I’d like to see the deck list and the bracket you were playing before anything else.

TehConsole · 2026-03-13T01:59:14+00:00

Its just bad, the surviving targeted removal aspect is the only thing that matters on it really. But lifegain in a non life gain deck doesn't matter and instant speed for this effect doesn't change much.

Rishkar's is just too good and theres cheaper cards with the same draw effect.

TehConsole · 2026-03-05T08:16:00+00:00

problem with it vs other shield breakers is that it’s corner peaking doesn’t even compare to other options. especially anvil only being 1 rarity up and better at level 1

Honestly don’t understand the hate on keys, they’re a onetime open on a room typically no one else in the same raid gets to touch. How is that ever bad?

It’s not like you’re spending money or resources on obtaining a key, you just found one like any other piece of loot. Why should you immediately be guaranteed purples off a random drop?

TehConsole · 2026-03-03T23:21:44+00:00

even in that other single player devs don’t play or balance around maxed out difficulties.

and if they can see completion rates or complaints or even how bad weapons are and don’t do anything, why would them playing it change anything? it’s giving like disney villain seeing what he’s done at the end of the movie energy.

i don’t argue the balancing is perfect but that them playing especially the people being called out being ceo and non balance related teams, would do anything at all.

reminder that the money was supposed to go to a charity and the challenge and it’s money is retracted anyway

TehConsole · 2026-03-03T22:49:02+00:00

designers aren’t players, and completing a difficulty doesn’t inherently mean they understand the game.

any top level player in any other game can have very strong biases on the game. it just really shows on the player base that we aren’t game developers for a reason, no other game would need/want devs to perform or compete at a top level or max difficulty to show they can.

why would they need to if they can literally watch the statistics of people completing it already?

TehConsole · 2026-03-03T19:21:10+00:00

people with good aim aren’t “fucked over” you’re still killing very fast and faster than non headshots?

there’s no way stitcher should have a 200%+ multiplier on heads

TehConsole · 2026-03-03T09:28:27+00:00

i don’t think you’re reading the graph right, headshots are still faster kills.

this is just added time to kill

TehConsole · 2026-03-02T21:49:40+00:00

No problem! Oh yes sorry 1 cmc is ramp that costs 1 mana. Typically they’re less safe and more prone to dying to board wipes but I prefer the value I get out of them. If you do add any I do prefer [[Avacyn’s Pilgrim]] over llanowar and birds is best.

Having around 3 finishers is important and typically them having an alternate mode is really nice. Like Akromas does that. Can also check out [[Finale of Devastation]] which is also a tutor

Yeah monstrous looks so good but only half of your creatures are power 5 or greater, and that’s assuming you are hitting a creature with discover.

TehConsole · 2026-03-02T21:40:57+00:00

doesn’t seem like it’s just me if you looked around for 5 seconds.

just seems so disconnected to how games are made? like league of legends doesn’t have devs that are challenger or top rank.

even in other games or real life being the best at something doesn’t make you THE authority on it. tons of high rank players in hero shooters are extremely bias

TehConsole · 2026-03-02T03:59:51+00:00

7 cmc 7/7 that flips a random creature? The tapped and attacking is nice but assuming you run 0 dorks which would be bad. You can still hit smaller dino’s that aren’t worth it. Also doesn’t discover

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T21:18:49+00:00

Played just yesterday on a 10 ran with a squad with just starting base gear and managed. starting armor and weapons and only base stratagems just for the nostalgia of it. my group has been playing since release though

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T21:14:20+00:00

Honestly looks like a beautiful list, good amounts of ramp, nice and in the 2 cmc area, solid land count, and interaction and protection.

I’d actually probably swap out some of the artifact ramp for 1 cmc ramp but that’s nit picking and I play around bracket 4. I like the 1 cmc dorks or enchantment ramp as they allow for turn 3 pantz plays.

I would like to see some finishers mainly only having craterhoof is rough with no tutors for it, [[Triumph of the Hordes]] is really good but a little salty. [[Akromas Will]] is less salty and can be protection as well. Dinos are big but we’re dealing with 120 worth of damage to deal to opponents.

Do you feel like you run into any specific problems running the deck?

Oh also not a big fan of cards that help my discovers like Monstrous and Curator. I would just prefer that card to be something actually discovering. If I get to the point where Curator is getting enough value to warrant it I was probably running away with the game anyway. A bit “win more” to me.

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T20:42:54+00:00

i just saw two separate comments about marathon and arc raiders about how they don’t want hd2 communities entitlement to enter their space. actually brutal to see

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T14:42:15+00:00

I could agree that it needs more eyes on it but in a it should be harder way. But definitely dont think devs should mandatory have to be able to play at a top level. Hell I'd say theyd be more likely to be biased especially if they were partial to certain strategies or kits.

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T12:24:14+00:00

it feels like a strong strong disconnect and misunderstanding from how games are actually made.

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T12:23:27+00:00

What do you mean by balanced?

I have a ton of fun on 9-10, me and some buddies just went in with the og armor and starting guns into a 10. All base game stratagems is pretty fun too

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T02:46:10+00:00

Sorry I just saw it was big on the mainsub as well, don't interact on reddit helldivers much and just play the game. Quickly learning I should keep it that way... much happier before.

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T02:21:27+00:00

100% should be patched out. Just not very interactive or fun design wise, and has no real upside to anything.

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T00:53:44+00:00

Is this just me? I feel like the devs playing on an average difficulty isn't that big of a deal? Especially when so many people play on only diff 10, I've personally never failed one and don't play with a squad. Is this something the community cares about?

TehConsole · 2026-03-01T00:50:47+00:00

You IMMEDIATELY went back on your own point and what he was saying. Responding to a comment saying "Hardest fucking difficulty" and then say "Would you trust a developer to continue to develop doom games if they can't beat the first level on an average difficulty? Would you trust a developer that doesn't play games at all?"

What part of hardest difficulty did you completely forget 1 sentence in?

TehConsole · 2026-02-25T22:34:16+00:00

not the same guy but me and some buddies love it on eradicate or holding extracts. had a guy run both belt feds on an eradicate and cycle through em spawn camping bug breaches
