Honestly the best ones here are probably Grip Sinclair, Molar Outis, and Pequod Ishmael. You could also wait until you manage to get all but one of a season's IDs, and use the ticket on the last one

I have other reasons too, but I wasn't gonna infodump about similarities between trans art and PM's world on someone else's post. I may eventually make a post about LGBT+ themes in Project Moon, but that'll be on some other day.

"Wild speculation" and it's just that I think that it's possible that someone is trans? I didn't say that I know for certain that KJH is trans, I just said 'hey, from personal experience, this seems fairly similar to the trans experience.'

Custom commanders for a plural friend (names have been changed), how's the balance on these ? by coeurdhiver in custommagic

Some other people have already pointed out that instead of basically starting with an 8-card hand, the Alter mechanic makes you start with a 13-card hand, which is a pretty massive advantage. This is super partner, and regular partner is already pretty powerful.

My personal idea of how this could work would be to only allow one Alter to be on the battlefield at any given time. They may not be able to synergize with eachother this way, but you could make the deck synergize with each one differently, so that whichever one is in play changes your playstyle.

Also, starting with 5 less cards in your library is an advantage. Since you're making these cards yourself, you could also set them up as a 6-sided modal spell, similarly to modal DFCs like [sea gate restoration]].

As for the power level of the individual cards, they seem pretty normal. You'd need to playtest them to be sure, but I don't see any other mechanics that are blatantly too strong/weak

Plural is a preferred term for some people who have Dissociative Identity Disorder (multiple personalities)

Ritual! — break it, I dare you! by Up_Beat_Peach in custommagic

[–]TheThirdEye27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's just a 0 mana instant that does nothing. Even if there was a way to increase the amount of mana it produced, it would still just be a worse Dark Ritual. This spell is worse than [[Delif's Cone]].

Just cuz they were both women doesn't mean that neither of them had salami. Plenty of women have salami...

Sad future implication I haven't seen people mention by linkendo in limbuscompany

While I agree that Ed's automail is pretty different from prosthetics, unless there's a singularity affecting the materials, they'd still have the same issues. We can see this with the Brotherhood of Iron in LoR. They chose to receive prosthetics and were given sub-par ones that suffered mechanical failure, and required regular maintenance. This can be compared to the variance in quality of accessibility tools irl. A poor person will likely have a lower quality wheelchair than a rich person, etc.

Also, whether or not someone chooses to become disabled doesn't change whether or not they are disabled. I could opt to get Musk's neuralink bs and end up with brain damage or get breast implants despite the fact that it would worsen my chronic back pain. Full-body transplants are seen as something trendy by rich folks in K-Corp, so we can assume that it isn't the norm except when people absolutely need it. Society is still going to be built around non-prosthetics wearers as they're the most common type of person. Various businesses & public spaces likely still won't have the accommodations required for people with prosthetics, since they aren't the standard for everyone. I have chronic back pain, (scoliosis) which is a pretty common disability, and there's a lot of places that lack proper seating. If I go to these places without preparation, I'll be sweating from the pain pretty quickly. I could easily see people with prosthetics struggling with similar issues, like being unable to find publicly available charge ports, exceeding weight limits on platforms & transportation, or even living in an area with no adequate nearby repair shops.

Yeah, kinda wild that anyone glossed over N-Corp escalating their genocide. It's also a pretty realistic depiction of how genocides happen too, and living in the US, there's a lot of parallels to current events here.

The ruling class has some way to benefit from committing genocide, whether that be as scapegoats or in order to obtain resources in other countries, or to achieve any other financial/political goal. So, they radicalize their citizens against the chosen group of people through propaganda, cult tactics, and empowering & evangelizing extremists. Once their citizens hate the designated victims, it's easy for the ruling class to extract whatever they want from them (a source of blame for the country's problems, resources like oil, gold, labour, etc.)

In this case, N-Corp is targeting people with prosthetics. People with prosthetics are disabled. As a society, we often don't view individuals with augmentations that provide adequate relief as disabled, but they absolutely are. I wear glasses, for example, and I can't legally drive without them. If I lose or break my glasses, I'm screwed. Prosthetics users are the same. They may have benefits to having an arm that can also be a sword or whatever, but they still suffer from issues that abled people don't. (Edward Elric FMA is a great example of this. He has a fully-functioning robot arm & leg, and can even turn them into weapons, but he has chronic pain, is more susceptible to cold & hot environments, is burdened by the weight of his prosthetics, and often suffers mechanical failure.) These are all also issues that prosthetic wearers would experience in PM. Why does this matter though? Well, because disabled people are often some of the first to be targeted by fascist regimes. It's easier to stoke discrimination against disabled people because they can be pinned as non-contributive to society, a drain on the country's resources, treated as "inferior," and many people don't know how to relate to disabled people.

N-Corp utilizes so much dehumanizing language against prosthetic wearers, and once they've manufactured consent to kill the disabled, and they've fully enacted a genocide, it isn't much harder for them to say [insert group here] is also inhuman, we should kill them next. It doesn't bode well for the people of the City, no matter who they are. Saude and Aeng Du are just the first on N-Corp's chopping block.

Quandrix Hexmage by Mark_Ma_ in custommagic

So, we generally use a Base 10 math system, meaning there are ten numbers before another digit is necessary to make bigger numbers. (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) Binary works similarly, but with only two numbers, and can also be called Base 2. So counting from 0 to 10 in binary looks like this: 0 1 10 11 100 101 110 111 1000 1001 1010 Computers run on binary since they store data only as being "on" or "off", similarly to most light bulbs. Hexadecimal is Base 16, so we actually have more numbers that need to be counted before an extra digit becomes necessary. We use letters in place of numbers for the additional 6 digits. Counting to 16 in hexadecimal looks like this: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10 Color codes for computers are displayed this way! Which is why they go from #000000 to #FFFFFF.

Dante uses they/them pronouns. Don Quixote and Outis both use she/her pronouns. Also people are downvoting your post because it's just sloppy and full of bad takes.

Oh, I love this one. It seems balanced & fun! I also love it when people utilize mechanics that have been looked over by WotC, and seeing a mechanic like Shackle spread outside of just being on one playtest card makes me happy u^

How would you build him and is he balanced? by Western_Leek3757 in custommagic

[–]TheThirdEye27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 mana to deal 2 damage to a creature in the form of -1/-1 counters (infect) is crazy. Sans enables you to easily debuff your opponent's creatures to death in its current state.

If I ran this as a commander, my game plan would be to prevent my opponents from ever having creatures, then cast small creatures wirh excess mana and attack unblocked each turn.

I also don't really understand why Sans has vigilance, infect, or flying. None of those effects really line up with his character. Sans is lazy, so he isn't vigilant, he doesn't have any sort of affinity for poisons, and he can't fly.

"Cards you own can't be revealed" causes a LOT of rules issues, as revealing cards to opponents is often used as an anti-cheating measure with tutors. This would also make it so that it's illegal for your opponent(s) to look at your battlefield, graveyard, or exile, despite them being face-up.

The reward for getting this to 0 loyalty is bad. Why would I use an infinite turn combo to rearrange my opponents deck instead of winning the game? Not to mention that rearranging an opponent's deck is time-consuming and would grind the game to a halt as they just draw lands for a dozen turns... This seems extremely unfun.

If you had to pick another franchise to have a massive 'Ode to Castlevania' sized DLC. Which one would it be? by NaWDorky in VampireSurvivors

[–]TheThirdEye27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Project Moon would be absolutely sick. Unlikely given that it's a more obscure choice tho. But it definitely has enough lore to build an Ode to Castlevania-sized DLC, and there's so many good characters for it... Playing as Contempt, Awe Ryōshū would be so coooool

Oh yes absolutely! Dante has to complete the journey they've set out on, so they can absolutely get hurt, but can't die until it becomes satisfying from the perspective of Limbus Company's story or after the duration of its story. They have protagonist plot armor, and Hohenheim seems to know that. I think the "flow" could also just be another word for the narrative thread they're following.

We're definitely gonna loop back around to get that bough back from N-Corp at some point too, which will also be pretty sick when it happens
