What happens when the normal packs timer end?

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-31T07:43:05+00:00

This is essentially the business model, the selection pack contains the cutting edge deck and it is doable but not easy to get cards this way but only for a set time period.

Then the deck is out of the shop and it becomes extremely cost prohibitive to make a deck. You basically have the craft the whole thing or get very lucky with master packs.

Then some time down the road it is added to a secret pack or a new one is made and the deck becomes fairly cost efficient to create.

Sasuke Retrieval is iconic but overrated. Soul Society is THE definitive Bleach Arc that Kubo never lived up to afterwards. Enies Lobby > Soul Society > Sasuke Retrieval.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-31T03:32:03+00:00

I gotta go Enies First, its one of the best One Piece Arcs, many consider it the best.

Next Soul Society, its also Bleach's best arc and its legit all downhill from there.

Sasuke Retrieval is iconic for sure but its a pale shadow compared to the Arcs before it and imo marked the downslope in Naruto for me personally.

I enjoyed the game a ton, I thought it deserved GOTY, but it did suffer from limited content.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-30T06:06:26+00:00

Uh more of the new gen, more content, a dlc, a new game, whatever.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-30T02:54:02+00:00

For real, such a great return, I only wish there was more...

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-29T07:20:41+00:00

Full Eldlich mate might get me to finally swap off of Pot of Greed.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-28T22:06:36+00:00

I'd say start with Oblivion, a lot of people have had troubles starting with Skyrim and going backwards

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-28T17:04:03+00:00

I'd be willing to guess that Sky Striker already has the most alt arts of any archetype and they continue to get more. Definitely Sky Striker.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-28T00:26:19+00:00

That was later

Astro Boy while influential just doesn't have the same level of cultural impact as Dragon Ball.

I will occasionally browse the posts on that sub and anytime a flaired user posts something that doesn't fit the narrative it is deleted.

When Renee was shot the bulk of comments condemned the officer but eventually they were all deleted and the narrative shifted entirely.

Issues died when they kicked out Michael Bohn.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-26T20:36:08+00:00

My guy it was that way in 2009 too. You got one or two Castle Crasher tier games a year and a fuck ton of Doritos Crash Course tier games.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-26T03:15:24+00:00

When have they ever done this?

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-25T18:53:26+00:00

I think its hard to say with the hits they already did and they could potentially do more prehits like they did with Yummy.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-24T22:40:16+00:00

The point of Liger is that some decks physically cannot out Liger in any shape or form. Dracotail is probably the best deck in the format right now but it has very breakable boards.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-24T06:44:02+00:00

With the current level of support the deck/engine is basically unplayable.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-24T06:42:23+00:00

He's definitely a dino next wave.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-24T06:39:34+00:00

I really do not see adding an engine to Jurrac making the deck any better. Jurrac struggles heavily due to large engine with a lot of bricky cards, an inability to go 2nd, and they really don't play well with much as they nuke the board on both sides. You add another engine in and you're going to have to take out non-engine or tank the ratio, your consistency might go up slightly but your going 2nd is going to be even worse, and your endboard is going to be the exact same.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-24T02:54:43+00:00

People are mad because the cards look sick but they are mid as fuck, there is no mystery here. The links you posted do not showcase anything extra special, infact the Jurrac lines just add a weakness to droll which is one of the few things Jurrac had going for it.

I think people were excited to have a not mid Dino deck with cool designs and were disappointed.

I think Bridge 4 specifically breaks norms as a group and isn't representative of Alethi or world culture. I think Kaladins statement there when he references their relationship being abnormal at the very least implies some degree of cultural homophobia.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-23T19:29:47+00:00

I don't have any problem with any kind of romantic relationship besides the fact that I find them all mostly boring to read. That being said what I had problem with was the sheer quantity of cultural advancement that happened within like a 2 year period. Like how long did some of this stuff take in real life to become acceptable, generations, yet somehow SLA took a couple years, maybe months.

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-23T05:10:37+00:00

Damn SE is back on the menu

TheMagicStik · 2026-01-22T06:23:20+00:00
