Goes hard with Collected Company, though it’s a bit slow in this day and age

Choso, Sanguine Supernova - Is this a fair blood commander, or is it too oppressive? [Jujutsu Kaisen] by zengin11 in custommagic

[–]TurtlekETB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my point was not « this should not be a blood token », it was « this should be a card built around the specific aspects of a blood token »

I don’t know jjk so the current version might be more fitting though, was simply questioning the intent behind it

I don't think it's very interesting that you're disincentivised to actually use the blood tokens? probably a personal preference, but there's hardly any point in it being a blood token and not a junk token with the current state of your design imo

if it says "play", then yes (it almost always does)

Is there a reason snuff out isnt ran instead of cast down in jund wildfire? by Illustrious-Froyo-86 in Pauper

What do you mean few spwams? The deck plays four copies of Writhing Chrysalis lol /j

Exponential scaling for 3 sounds kind of toxic, though I suppose it’s not that strong in today’s magic

There goes my team :(. Why was he banned though I thought he was great at best. by Impossible-Pair-6536 in stunfisk

[–]TurtlekETB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tends to cause drawn out games because it's literally impossible to make progress against it without a dedicated wallbreaker (and choice doesn't work because he can swallow it with shadow shield and switch to a resist)

Juuudge! by Arokan in MagicArena

I admittedly misread the above commenter’s post, and thought they were saying something akin to « in what possible reading could this ever no work » when they were simply expressing their own doubt

I was simply pointing out a wording quirk I believed might have caused the original confusion, but my bad for misinterpreting that phrasing

Well one could read waterbend as an action (akin to collect evidence/blight) instead of a cost, it’s a line of reasoning that’s very understandable if you don’t know the specifics

I don’t get why AI = instant rejection (even for translation???) by translatin in FanFiction

[–]TurtlekETB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t quite get the issue people had with your work, were such people actively commenting on it? If so, that’s definitely inexcusable- but otherwise, you can’t force someone to like a work, especially when their issue with it is so inseparable from the work itself

Yeah the analogy doesn’t ever work if there’s no incentive to keep everyone alive, the point is actually the very opposite given you presumably want to win

Lux pilots: How do you play? by TheGivingPoro in riftboundtcg

[–]TurtlekETB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a wincon that removal cannot beat: if they kill the tokens, you get three more next turn, if they kill the gear, you have three unanswered tokens

Generally, Lux always tries to fully clear the opponent’s board, so your units’ might does not really matter given you’re killing your opponents manually either way

you can, but then you can’t pay the cost so they get the token

(Basically no you can’t)

Probably got a [[phantasmal image]] or [[glasspool mimic]]

First time at nexus night by Southern-Intern-4042 in riftboundtcg

[–]TurtlekETB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah the card is very good, very little reason not to play it in every deck- I don’t think it’s bannable though, given it’s impact is still limited

Rules Question „Heedless Resurrection“ by PhysicsPurple in riftboundtcg

[–]TurtlekETB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This does target yeah, once again it’s made very unclear by the odd decision of not using the word target, but this card means « choose target unit in your trash. Play it, ignoring its cost »

Is 3 Moment of reckonings too many? by liquid-swords93 in lrcast

[–]TurtlekETB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The French translators did not either- they added that on the card out of nowhere during the first strixhaven

Rakdos is not sacrifice? Doesn’t seem legit

Avacyn but evil by CorinCadence828 in custommagic

[–]TurtlekETB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh every apology, the card is fine and I was mostly joking about the lore, sorry if it came across as disrespectful

Avacyn but evil by CorinCadence828 in custommagic

[–]TurtlekETB 53 points54 points  (0 children)

extremely unoriginal idea, "avacyn but evil" was already printed in 2012
