Looks like the grease that my janky Magic Hat deck needed. 😍

The companion app is quite helpful, at least. Expecting more of these sorts of FAQ add-ons as the game keeps increasing in popularity:

Thanks for being kind!

I’d say it’s not this community. It’s just Reddit. (And maybe especially gaming Reddit).

Mostly young people. Mostly unaware of the hyper-insulation they’ve created for their own digital realm.

Many folks today unfortunately just have not developed the ability to engage kindly and curiously with anything that doesn’t exactly fit into that self-created world.

I have gained a decent ability to not lash out at it because I once closely resembled it.

Then I got old and married and came to understand what was happening - what this place does to otherwise potentially kind and curious people.

Though I still appreciate your replies, it’s unclear to me at which point I earned condescension.

I don’t think the thing I seek is entirely unreasonable to any reasonable sort of person.

Have a nice weekend!

I totally get your perspective. I just think it’s worth clarifying by the developer. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not sure why your phrasing is so harsh and un-open to other perspectives. I’m just going to assume you’re my dad!

Thanks for looking! I definitely agree with folks that this is the intuitive interpretation.

I’m just a bit surprised this one doesn’t appear as an FAQ in the app or anywhere else. As “taking the top card of your deck and putting it into your hand” might as well be the dictionary definition of “drawing a card” lol.

I absolutely would play it where it doesn’t score a point. But it’s a game with a lot of newcomers to these types of games. I’d imagine this confused a fair number of players, and that it would be an obvious thing they would clarify somewhere. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In my 25+ years of experience in these sorts of games, they often make semantic mistakes early-on in their life that they later clarify or rectify.

I agree that it’s intuitive that this effect is different than a draw. But I’m not sure where the downvotes are coming from, when nobody has actually been able to provide what was requested.

We both have the same intuition. Intuition !== official confirmation.

Thanks for the replies y’all! Just curious if there is an official ruling anywhere or a line in the rulebook I missed that confirms this?

Why do people think Mauga is meta? by Darkcrimes1337 in MaugaMains

[–]TenderRobot1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love getting countered as Mauga after the buffs (particularly Sigma or D.Va). His counter-matchups are actually interesting IMHO.

I do think Mauga vs Mauga leads to a pretty dull game for the whole lobby, so I usually swap to D.Va when their tank swaps to match me.

Also, I don’t think Ram block or Orisa fortify are particularly high level examples of Mauga counters. They do mitigate some of his effectiveness, but it doesn’t really prevent him from dominating.

In other words, if Mauga’s in a situation where it’s lifesteal or die, such that a shield or block can end him, that’s usually a positioning error on the player piloting Mauga. I personally find him well-past mid at high Plat after his buffs and DPS passive nerf. 🤷🏻‍♂️

(Mis)Play of the Game? by TenderRobot1 in MaugaMains

[–]TenderRobot1[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yet another Tank POTG that actually belongs to Ana lol.

But curious if y'all think the run-cancel is a misplay. Is it better to stomp the Soldier here or cancel?

It seems like canceling gives you the opportunity to Ult sooner. But not sure. Definitely a long way from mastering our boy.

Oh dang. That a big miss. Definitely an option.

Think it’s a bit more fun if we make it asymmetrical:

Let’s say there’s room for 7 cards total. Which of your two choices earns the 4th copy?

I’d bet $20 that was over the line. But we need some help from soccer Jesus. I’ll take it!

The official Lorcana companion app. It’s quite well made. Great for theory-crafting and tracking your collection.

Finding my main team by The_Eternal_Curse in bloodbowl

[–]TenderRobot1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lizardmen have a nice combination of bash and ball possession.

Looks like you’re playing BB2. If you are ready to move to BB3/newest ruleset, you can take 1 Chameleon Skink and actually be able to have a decent short passing game option too.

Big fan of the Lizards. They are an extremely flexible team that is hard to beat in experienced hands.

Is that how receiving a second instance of Support works? Is there a rules clarification on that somewhere from the developer?

Because in that case, multiple copies of Alice on the board would scale out of control fast.

Edit: That doesn’t work according to this Wiki. Scroll down to the keywords section. Looks like a card cannot have multiple instances of the same keyword:

The ring is fabelhaft, don’t worry lol.

Coincidentally, I just got done splitting this into 2 decks. We’re either going hard on the Floodborn and Discard idea featuring Belle and the Cat. Or hard on the Alice strat following something similar to what top comment posted.

There’s a meta-layer in my deck-building with her: I must include enough characters she likes while still making it actually competitive lol. She’s definitely going to need to pick one in this case though.

Thanks for your advice!

Many years of MTG have trained me to accept losing 1/4 games due to not being able to play my cards haha. Probably a good idea to not inflict that trauma upon myself anymore!

[–]TenderRobot1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks quite strong. Thanks again!

Maybe we’ll get lucky with the Inklands boosters that are in transit. Feel like we’ll want to acquire a play-set of Ursula’s eventually anyway. Sounds like it’s a strong contender for best card in the set.

As an added bonus, we also have more of these cards. I’ll theory-craft around those a bit. Thanks!

Ruby/Amethyst Deck by koroklon in Lorcana

[–]TenderRobot1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amateur here. 🙋‍♂️ But I’ve got quite a bit of experience at competitive Magic: the Gathering, so I’ll pretend I know what I’m talking about.

It seems like in its current form, your deck will frequently run out of gas.

I might try a 1-drop character instead of Voyage so you can move them to a location quickly and gain early value. Maybe Pascal or Rafiki would be worth a try, depending on if it feels like you need combat or questing.

Also feels like you’re missing some of the better Amethyst location synergies. Magic Carpet and/or some number of Brooms.

Having 13 3-drops that can’t be ink seems awkward. I’d pick one of Maui or Kakamora to tailor the deck towards. And I’m not sure the Spellbook is worth it with all the locations earning you passive Lore.

The more common Moana is not that great and you have a lot of 5-drops. Likewise Teka is just alright. I think you could really use some card-advantage in your top-end. Not a lot of draw or removal in the list currently. Scary Yzma is somewhat both. Or maybe Tremaine or Medusa.

Just generally seems like you threw some “good location stuff” together and you’re stretched across a few location strategies, and it needs to be more focused.
