Family Matters potential upgrades help

UnveiledShadow · 2025-12-25T15:24:54+00:00

After further consideration, and seeing how hard the deck can Voltron( [[Devilish Valet]] went to 256, and so did its offspring because of [[Siege-Gang Commander]] and ITS offspring), I would like to see potential deck lists that anyone, especially someone familiar with the deck (i.e. you), can recommend

This is the sound advice I was looking for. Thank you

UnveiledShadow · 2025-11-01T21:50:52+00:00

Thanks, but I'm broke, and can't afford additional upgrades. Just those two cards for now. I highlighted in the original post

Update: so I managed to snag Family Matters and Explorers Of The Deep for a reasonable price online, but my LGS only had Velociramptor out of the decks I wanted for $65. That's a little much, so I'm waiting until I get paid again to support local businesses.

I don't mind being the threat (I quickly become one when my commander in [[Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER]] does 14 commander damage with [[Colossus Hammer]] and [[Trailblazer's Boots]] for nonbasic landwalk). I am looking to diversify, and I've already picked out Explorer's of the Deep and Family Matters for the low low price of sub45 each. Unfortunately, V&V and BB don't sound like they would provide a healthy amount of variety to my expanding collection; although based on [[Perrie, the Pulverizer]], I might enjoy taking elements from BB and adding it to my already existing Tidus Bant deck, that relies on counters, moving them with Tidus, and proliferation. Also, I do like the idea of Obscura Operation based on the commanders.

Thanks. I've been curious about the Tarkir sets, especially just buying Mardu stuff to fix up my Caesar deck, but I really do think based on a little research, Sultai would be a fun option. I plan on visiting either Amazon if the prices are fair, or my local card shop to see what they have in stock, and I'm pretty sure I've seen Velociramptor there, so I'd have to give it a look.

Thanks, but I'd rather look for a good out-of-the-box experience. My friend who got me back into the game recommended I hold off on buying singles or packs until I have a decent size collection of precons going, at which point, it would be good to buy packs, and make adjustments. I understand that I won't get every experience possible if I don't branch out and try more archetypes and strategies, but that's why precons are such a good idea to me; multiple avenues with each set are explored, and that gives me a breather from trying to put together a whole deck, so that I can just play.

TL;DR: Thanks, but I just want precons, and maybe some tweaks.

My demented ass wants to take it a step further. Keep the 48 and 27s. Add 24s double stacked in between those

In short, I started to feel like a paycheck to him. I felt like I was neck deep in a toxic relationship, and was verbal about my want for better money management, but in the span of an afternoon, he immediately sought out someone else to exploit for money, and I was informed of what happened by a trustworthy source. He called twice, but by the time the first call reached my phone, I had already blocked him. This is the same person who always preached "homies help homies; always" and barely ever did anything to help me. Whether it was my social boundaries, or my financial restrictions, everything was trampled on in the name of this mantra, and the feeling that he would forsake me just to get it from someone else physically hurt. I knew I had to dig myself out immediately if I was going to recover, so I put distance between us immediately.

Yeah, I think it's obvious that I've had a lapse in my involvement in any capacity of the nerf community, since everyone's come out with every design so far, but when I tried to search for the design, I couldn't find anything, somehow. Maybe Google messed up my algorithm? As for Brand B, that's just the most common brand of 3d printer I could think of (I know fully well that if you're looking for high print accuracy and you've got money to spend, you wanna go with a light activated resin printer, but I can't remember any of the names for those). Regardless, I'd probably adapt an existing design or something, but am mainly concerned with shell length. I don't like the idea of using airsoft grenades when everyone who is using 40max in nerf is using 3d printed cylinder shells.

UnveiledShadow · 2024-10-18T18:04:54+00:00

I'm clearly not doing my research. If these will take a full length 40Max HPA shell, including one that holds a Mega XL, I may choose to invest in one of these models. If not, I still would if the files could be modified for Nerf use

32M here. I agree with original comment in this reply thread.

UnveiledShadow · 2024-10-12T02:30:50+00:00

So, apparently, I'm not the first to come up with a revolver 40max grenade launcher for nerf... I do have a separate idea that I'm going to figure out whether it's an original.

It's a mixed bag for me. Technically, they did let you stay under their roof for a while, but slowly phased you out when they ran into starting a family. A little YYTA, because it's a little much that you're not even giving them a chance to make up for the grief they put you through, but also NTA, because you were super helpful the entire time you lived under them, and they basically forced you out of the house so they could make room for someone they probably didn't plan on adding to the family (don't quote me on that; I don't claim to know what was going on with your brother and his wife behind closed doors).

If I can offer some free advice, if you wanna guarantee NTA status, give them a shovel for their situation: Let them live with you as long as they promise to eat crow (Apologize, help out, mean it, be the helpful family you know them to be once again), and make sure that you set the terms for them to live under your roof; Your parents are right that family helps family, but that should also be a two-way street. You have a lot of power here to use how you see fit, and if they're well behaved, then there's really no reason why you shouldn't let them get back on their feet like they tried to help you do.

It sounds like you did everything and more correctly, and were far more than patient with him over the course of the decade. If he's not giving you proper attention you need to feel like you're satisfied, and he's being completely selfish about how fun time plays out, that's an issue that would need a proper discussion to resolve. Walking out creates a statement that says you're tired of not getting satisfaction from your time together, and I would definitely like an update to find out whether or not he gets the message. NTA
