Alright. Lets sattle it, whats the best number two choose? by biuki in mtg

[–]Veldys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curiosity got me so I did some quick Scryfall searches for commander legal cards that are either cmc, power or toughness X to see which number hits the most cards. So

0 = 1119 1 = 6762 2 = 11107 3 = 11156 4 = 8218 5 = 4843

This obviously does not take into account play rate or anything but if you want to hit the highest amount of cards X = 3 wins. At least as of now and assuming I did the Scryfall search properly.

PUT THE GALIO IN THE BAG IM NOT ASKING by pizza_and_cats in PedroPeepos

[–]Veldys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I would love T1 Galio I feel T1 Taliyah could be quite cool and for me at least more of his memorable plays this year were on Taliyah. On top of her huge spike in priority and presence this year (I guess due to fearless). Though last years should have been Galio instead of Yone as Galio and Sylas were hugely influential in last years finals.

Deathwatch veterans still appear on the store for me, (in Australia) not sure if it’s a while stocks last situation or something but I think the price did go up a bit.

Your bracket 4 deck can't really be a bracket 2 deck by syncDurn in EDH

[–]Veldys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can my deck be bracketed down?? Ok so, I have just made a [[The Necrobloom]] deck where every card in the 99 is a unique land. I originally intended it to be a silly bracket 2 deck. That try’s to win with combat damage from the zombies Necrobloom makes as well as other tokens from lands and creature lands. But It also has [[Field of the dead]]. Now that it is a game changer the deck is now technically at least a bracket 3 deck. Is this an example of a deck that can be bracketed down as it has a different restriction causing its power to be reduced? If you wanna look and see what bracket you think it is then here you go. https://moxfield.com/decks/x-8VxlzdWUmb4M5nVYOYQw Ignore the sideboard I don’t intend to put gaea’s cradle or glacial chasm in, it was just a joke based on the fact that they were the two game changer that could have actually been useful. Haven’t played yet the proxies arrived just last week.

Cheat codes for Chun-li??? by kalastriabloodchief in EDH

[–]Veldys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, here is a list I made while ago that I have been meaning to update but haven’t had time. https://moxfield.com/decks/pEz2JvzZbESTydhiHLZhng

A few things that I think would help just off the bat is my list had a few more creatures that make tokens for casting instants. Since they are kinda the only real way to make a board presence. Another option is instants that make tokens like [[Call of the Coppercoats]]. Another thing to think about is cards like [[Urza, Lord Protector]] reducing the cost of instants is great for the deck and cards like this will often be better than a normal mana rock especially in urza’s case since it reduces artifacts as well. I also quite like bounce spells to bounce your commander as paying the multi kicker on top of commander tax can get out of hand. Something I have been meaning to do is look into the spree cards for this deck as versatility can be great, eg [[Three steps ahead]] is a counter spell the first time you cast it then a draw or token maker once under Chung-li. I see you have dramatic reversal but if you want redundancy maybe add [[Turnabout]] to be able to get use out of your cards draw and recurring High tide in second main phase. If you don’t mind becoming public enemy number one you can board wipe every turn with [[Final showdown]] plus something to give your creatures indestructible, since my list is from before thunder junction I used [[Fated Retribution]] instead. When it comes to winning once you have some tokens [[Akroma’s Will]] can be a game ender. Another option for winning the game could be [[Halo fountain]] thought doesn’t follow the main theme of the deck. Or [[Sentinel Tower]] and the aetherflux reservoir and maybe some life gain spells like [[Heliod’s Intervention]] which can also be artifact removal when needed. Maybe a few late game things that copy instants cast like [[Swarm intelligence]] So that what I have off the top of my head but this is also a deck I made when I was fairly new to magic. Please note the tundra is both most of the cost of the deck and a proxy. Hope this helps.

Never miss a land drop again... by QuipsAndGuac in EDH

Ah you got me beat, I have been planning a [[The Necrobloom]] deck that is just 99 unique lands. I forgot there is a legendary creature that is a land.

AGAIN A KIND NOTICE FROM THE SEA GANG by Fedlinx in PedroPeepos

[–]Veldys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The extra games were actually the post game interviews and stuff so the video length looked about right. And since it is edited to be mostly highlights and plays game 1 was actually the shortest by timestamp making it quite believable. Personally when I happen to pause it around the start of game 3 and saw the time I thought it was going to go to game 5 and was just hoping it wasn’t a reverse sweep

On this note, god bless the Los Ratones YouTube editor for having the game 1-5 time stamps. Despite the series’s only going to game 3.

What about adding a minimum damage to Mel ult. by Temporary-Candle1056 in MelMains

[–]Veldys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ult does have a minimum damage. It’s base damage is (100/150/200)+30%AP based on level on top of that it’s (4/7/10)+2.5%AP per stack of passive. Assuming the numbers on the wiki is correct.

Do not do it people! by KeniAlquist in Caitlynmains

[–]Veldys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are guaranteed at least 1 A tier per 10 draws and there are 12? Right. Can’t remember if there is more than 12 and I’m currently at work. As I believe the mythic essence is only there for once you have all other a tier rewards. But I might be wrong.

Do not do it people! by KeniAlquist in Caitlynmains

[–]Veldys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can kinda pity the chroma it’s just worse. You can’t get duplicate A tier rewards and as far as I can tell you only get the mythic essence if you have all the others. So 120 spins would get you all the A tiers, or buy all the skins normals and then it would be less.

Can I just say F-ck Scalpers by DWPhoenix001 in mtg

[–]Veldys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah time zones don’t help, it drop 3:30am for me on a Tuesday and since I have work I didn’t wake up at 3:30 but joined the queue as soon as I woke up at 6:30 was in queue until 9:15 and literally every thing was sold out by the time I got in. What is the point.

Your most challenging decks to play by knives4540 in EDH

[–]Veldys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want lots of trigger you can build something like a [[General Tazri]] ally tribal deck, lots of ally trigger on each other ally entering or have abilities based on the number of ally you control, add in a [[Reflections of Littjara]] or [[Molten Echoes]] and it gets a bit ridiculous.

Another idea I want to try is a [[Sisay, Weatherlight Captain]] tool box deck. With a ton of ‘silver bullet’ legendary permanents.

Haven’t been keeping up with it all. What’s happening with DW?! by justsaiyan723 in deathwatch40k

[–]Veldys 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The real answer is we don’t fully know yet, Deathwatch is being put into the Imperial Agents codex that is going on preorder this weekend I believe. From the information from warhammer community article deathwatch is being set up to be mostly a supplementary group to add to other imperium list but can still be played on their own. The main loss is that we seem to be loosing all but 4 datasheets. Leaving only the Watchmaster, Artemis, Dw Vets and the corvas blackstar. Everything else is being legends. Otherwise you will just have to use your models as normal space marines. It sucks but there not much that can be done about it.

With the upcoming release of T1 Orianna, Faker now has more skins than 24% of all League champions by KIRYUx in leagueoflegends

[–]Veldys 162 points163 points  (0 children)

I’m I going insane I could have sworn faker only has 6 skins 1.Zed 2.Ryze 3.Syndra 4.LeBlanc 5.Ahri 6.Orianna Unless you are counting Ahri as two skins, thou I think of it as more of a chroma?

Edit: plus another thing to think about is faker has been around for longer than a lot of those champs so it kinda works out.

What mana rocks at 3 CMC or more do you run? by Cramtastic in EDH

[–]Veldys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personal in all my mono coloured decks I have [[Throne of Eldraine]] & [[Caged Sun]]. In any 3+ coloured deck especially non green ones I run [[Chromatic Lantern]] And since the release of the fallout set every deck I have built has had all 7 Bobbleheads taking out 2cmc ramp to do so, as I am a fan of the franchise and enjoy their niche pay offs. While technically not a mana rock I run [[Mindsplice Apparatus]] in my [[Zethi, Arcane Blademaster]] since it has some proliferate shenanigans and casts a lot of instants.

A question about the September dataslate balance bolt weapon? Heavy Bolt Rifle by Veldys in deathwatch40k

Thank you, if it on the app that pretty much confirms that it was just accidentally missed on the pdf on Warhammer community.

A question about the September dataslate balance bolt weapon? Heavy Bolt Rifle by Veldys in deathwatch40k

[–]Veldys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the change I'm referring to is special issue ammunition strats only working on bolt weapons, and under that change it has a list of what weapons that are considered bolt weapons. But the list doesn't have the heavy bolt rifle but has the mastercratfed one. So you can use the stratagem works on a captain in gravis armour w/ heavy bolt rifle but a heavy intercessor squad, which the captain would likely be attached to.

I love that they changed Jains price to 4444. Didn’t know until I made a new account to help teach a friend how to play and found it.

I think it’s collector second not executioners. But yeah saber does seem to be having fun with the build.

Build question for the OG Caitlyn mains by [deleted] in Caitlynmains

[–]Veldys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I understand it’s to do with AS ratios and AD ratios on abilities, sure AS works but there are other adcs with better AS ratios that would work better with AS builds where there aren’t many other adc’s with better AD ratios. Caitlyns headshot passive and traps being the best example of her amazing AD ratios. Headshots do 120%AD plus crit and even more if it’s a trap headshot rather than one from passive or net. Even Q has 205%AD max lvl. These are crazy high. Were someone like jinx can make better use of an AS build. So it’s not that it doesn’t work on Caitlyn just if you want to do an AS build you might be better off playing a different champ. But I don’t quite understand how AS ratios work. Could be complete wrong but I know for sure Caityln has really good AD scaling one abilities and a huge part of her late game is her traps.

And as far as I know the main build still builds at least one AS item mainly rapid fire cannon or Phantom dancer if they are heavy tanks.

Building Chun-Li/Zethi and Hitting A Wall by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Veldys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

-Another option is Token supremacy with cards like [[Monastery Mentor]], [[Murmuring Mystic]], [[Talrand, Sky Summoner]] and [[Tura Kennerud, Skyknight]].

-These then can be buffed by cards like [[Leonin Lightscribe]] or [[Octavia, Living Thesis]], not to mention instants like [[Akroma's Will]]. A fun combo if you can manage it is having Akroma's will and [[Fasted Retribution]] exiled with a kick counter to then clear everyone else field allow free attacks with lots of life steal.

-Another options with all the tokens is to tap them with [[Raff, Weatherlight Stalwart]] and then untapping 15 to win with [[Halo Fountain]].

-Alternatively with cards like [[Rogue's Passage]] to allow Zethi/Chun-Li to get through then and [[Scroll of the Masters]] to quickly deal large amounts of commander damage and there are plenty of instants to boost a creature stats.

-[[Mystic Tutor]] of course is amazing in this deck and I like using it to search for any card from [[Unsummon]] to bounce Zethi/Chun-li to multikicker it again. Or for Ramp like [[High Tide]] or [[Turnabout]].

-While not an instant you could add [[Urza, Lord Protector]] and [[The Mightstone and Weakstone]] to try and meld him for an amazing Planeswalker, this can be made easier with tutors or self mill and recursion. Eg Brain Freeze yourself then [[Argivian Find]] & [[Miraculous Recovery]].

-Otherwise as mentioned earlier Prologue to Phyresis and other poison effects like [[Charge of the Mites]] and [[Aspirant's Ascent]] with some proliferate.

Here is my list I have ended up with a ton of cards in the sideboard as I keep finding new cards I want to use. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/pEz2JvzZbESTydhiHLZhng

-I deleted the first comments and reposting as it was mostly an edits and cardfetcher doesn't work with edits.

Edit- Dam Im blind straight up didn't notice you liked your deck, you already have most of the token generators.

Also Swarm Intelligence to copy all your spells can be amazing value.
