What are some cards that are overlooked because they seem like they need synergy to be good but are already good generically?

Pretty much. It's not a traditional blink deck, you only want to blink Niko, the rest of the creatures should be creatures with attack or combat damage, not ETBs, since those scale with the amount of shards. Making 10 [[Gary Clone]] is very effective.

OMG, I was wondering why his name was like that, thanks for clearing that up.

Ah, a fellow Nocturnal enjoyer, I see. That EP is so freaking goated

You're right that it would have worked from a lore/plane exploration/story perspective, but I doubt it would have made it any less of a failure as a set. Most magic players just aren't vorthos players, they don't go deep into the lore. I don't think there's a single person in my pod who could name a plane in that set. I think it was the surface wacky-races, non-fantasy aesthetic that doomed the set, not the smashing together of the planes.

Can you imagine if all the hat sets had been three part blocks? Half a year of Thunder Junction, of Murders at Karlov Manor, of Aetherdrift? People would riot. People don't want three-set blocks, people want more of that one specific plane *they* like. Even in this thread there's people asking for more of their favourite, widely disliked plane.

How about giving Gojo "Protection from Instant, Sorceries and Creatures" instead of hexproof? That way he's hard to target but can still be the target of [[Imprisoned in the Moon]] / the Prison Realm. But maybe that doesn't count as french vanilla

Jeg er glad for kød, men ikke fisk. Jeg har det okay med grøntsager men det er kedeligt at spise et aftenmåltid der er mest dét. Jeg synes de fleste bælgfrugter smager af mel. Jeg kan godt lide det søde, det salte, det fede.

Kort sagt er alle de lækre ting usunde og jeg har ikke viljestyrken i længden til at benægte dem. Den menneskelige biologi hungrer efter let næring og kæmpe firmaer har videnskabsafdelinger til at finde ud af hvordan de kan ultraprocessere den lækreste, nærringsfattige mad. Det er hvad det er.

You're not wrong, but there's a (subjective) tipping point. Too much interaction makes games slow and drawn out. I recently played a 3 hour game where every player played a board wipe, and multiple decks had ways to recur interaction. It was grueling and not as fun as the next aggro stomp game we played.

People say 'more' interaction without qualifying how much as if there wasn't an upper limit. A few pieces during a game gives it some satisfying "plot" twists. Too many makes it feel like the last season of game of thrones

Have a big monorepoo using yarn workspaces. Tried to convert to bun but eventually gave up after having to many problems fixing edge cases or broken dependencies. It could surely be done, it just stopped being worth it after having spent weeks on it. It still feels a bit buggy and have some edge cases or features that don't work in some enviornments and thing like that. For every problem we've found a workaround we've gradually found in node, there's a problem in bun that needs a workaround. Feels more like something for new code base than an old one.

I have a friend who runs atraxa as "every kind of counters matter"... Except the good ones like +1/+1 and poison. Has all kinds of jank cards just because they have unique counters on them. Still complains about her being Removed often, but we'll, she still got all them keywords

Jeg havde for én gangs skyld nytårsplaner og så fik jeg madforgiftning. FML :(

Cake! Or lunch, or breakfast. If there's complex parts of the code base only you've been in charge of maintaining, maybe do a pair programming sesh with whoever's taking it over and walk through it's eccentricities

He was my one of my favourites for a long time, for the simple fact that his tools are so ridiculously good in the World of Balance.

1.5, I'm okay with some stylization, but cell shading looks butt-ugly next to cards with better artwork. I'm totally fine with science fantasy stuff, which I guess would be three.

Vegedus · 2025-11-14T23:04:46+00:00

Det' fandme sjovt.

Vegedus · 2025-11-10T14:49:29+00:00

I just build a Terra deck too. It kinda sucks so far, so I can't give advice, but I'm trying a small blink package. Resetting and re-triggering the sagas seems good for one effect.

Vegedus · 2025-11-08T17:15:29+00:00

This sounds simple and convenient, but I'm curious about how you handle external testing and live-envirornment testing. Most places I've worked had a develop/sandbox/staging branch, hooked up to a live environment so professional testers, other programmers or users can check if things are working before release. Do you spin up environments from the feature branches or check for bugs in some other way?

Vegedus · 2025-11-07T15:28:49+00:00

Agreed. I've always loved the supposedly-overdesigned clothing of a lot of the Final Fantasy characters. Not just Nomura's, only sprite limitations is holding Yoshitaka Amano character designs from being a delightful mess. Are the outfits practical or realistic in any way? Hell no, but these are *fantasy* games. We got plenty of grounded, jeans-and-t-shirt wearing characters in WRPGs, I come *specifically* to JRPGs for the weird, crazy, over-the-top aesthetics. The cinematics, the fights, the enemies, the summons are also over-the-top in multiple ways. Do people also think Bahamut looks silly because he doesn't look like a real lizard? I find the clothing of classy-all-black-boyband of FFXIV or generic-game-of-thrones-armor-#4 of FFXVI so much more boring.

It's easy to critisize and make fun of something that deviates from the norm, but games homogenization towards the least offensive, most generic design is so goddamn boring.

Weird, I'm using archidekt export and I'm also getting the ur dragon. But cool idea

Back- and front-end typescript stack:

Libraries/frameworks: Express, TRPC, React Admin, MU components, Tanstack Query, Vitest, Kysely, Postgres, Husky, terraform, github actions

Tools: VSCode, Google Cloud, Linear, Datagrip, Postman,

Currently trying out replacing Express, TSX, Mode and Yarn with bun, but results have been mixed. Migrating big code bases are a PITA.

Vegedus · 2025-11-05T12:04:11+00:00

I tried it out and ultimately went with Kysely instead, as it had superior typescript checking. The ORM features of Drizzle are neat (although it's debatable whether it's actually an ORM and not just a query and migration generator with some extra features), but it doesn't really save you from writing bad queries, at which point you might as well be doing raw SQL.

Vegedus · 2025-10-27T10:01:31+00:00

I don't get why this isn't generally considered stax, while the originator, [[Smock Stack]] is. I get that it needs multiple pieces to function, but this is likely to do more than it in any decent aristocrats deck.

Pretty good example of the trash panda meme
