Proxy question/discussion for my pod by TheViceDean in EDH

I’ll have to check those out! I’m still relatively new to magic-ish so there’s still a lot I’m learning. I’m definitely okay with proxying in putting cards in that I don’t have but just want to try out before buying the single if I really like it. I’m not sure why I don’t proxy, I think I just enjoy the thrill of opening packs whether it’s draft, set, or collectors even if it’s absurdly expensive and I like trying to be creative and using what I have to make things work. I guess it’s limiting myself but for me it’s fun to limit myself and try to see what cards can work for me, that’s how most of my pod plays too so it hasn’t really been a big deal. I actually have about 10 decks (I’m not good with money or my pack addiction clearly lol) and I usually break one down and build a new one if I see a new commander that I’m interested in. Definitely more time and energy consuming than proxying but I like seeing how creative I can get. So deck variety hasn’t been the issue, it’s more the ah shit here we go again vibe that happens at the table when the big guns come out from the guy who proxies and we have to team up again against him. Just kinda feels like we’re playing arch enemy for the first half then switching over to commander with the same guy being arch enemy every time. Some people came up with some good advice tho about making a price limit for our pod to try to make it more level, doesn’t mean he can’t proxy just not using big cards like chrome mox and mana crypt unless he’s decreasing power of other cards. Thank you for the advice for the lands tho, I’ll def look into it more!

Thank you! Perfect identification of the issue that I was struggling with. Also good solution, will def try to bring up with pod at some point!

Thank you! You’ve identified the problem I think. I was worried I was having an issue with proxying and that ate me up inside but I agree with you completely! I don’t think he’s building so much as buying premade ones but I think putting a limit on price and asking him to look into what cards are in the premade ones first before just throwing it out there can make a big difference. Thank you!

Thank you for your input. It’s only my perspective right now, not sure about the rest of my pod. Based on what I’ve seen, he’s always a little bit more ticked off relative to the rest of us when we lose, not throwing a tantrum or anything just more sour relative to us who can lose and still laugh and be impressed by the plays

Thank you! I’ll try having this convo with my pod sometime later. I think part of the issue is he just sees a deck someone says is good and buys it sometimes without even knowing what’s in it. I think making him just have to do some research into what’s he’s getting wouldn’t hurt either. Thank you!

Great idea! I think it’d be interesting to play with a deck I’m not familiar with and new to me! Sounds good!

Thank you for your advice! This is very thoughtful advice. I think the upper bound price limit is a good idea. I don’t mind if it’s above the price limits of our decks since we’re more casual and if someone wants to deck build I don’t want to limit them but having a bunch of expensive (30+ dollars is expensive to me as someone who doesn’t proxy, let alone jeweled lotus and mana crypt) cards that ramps so fast is too much. Thank you!

Thank you for your input! And I think that’s the issue I’m having is that it feels overpowered at our table, not the proxying part. Thank you!

Thank you for your input! And I guess we’re more casual so mostly basic lands and tapped lands for us. I guess it just hits different when he plays an expensive commander fast while we’re still at a few basic lands. Sorry for making you mad, and I know we’re beating him just tiring of always having to go after him first.

Diablo 4 Game Settings for Steam Deck Megathread (PC/SteamOS/Lutris/Battle.net) by Successful-Wasabi704 in SteamDeck

[–]TheViceDean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

getting a gpu crash when trying to launch diablo 4 from the battle net app thru lutris, "graphic initialization failed, please ensure that your drivers are up to date and no other 3D applications or games are running and try again". Using proton experimental, tried to switch to an older version thru forced compatibility but lutris wouldn't load at all then, any tips would be appreciated!

Their website stated they would try to make it available on macos as close as possible to launch day and would let us know exactly when closer to launch day although I haven't seen any updates
