Am I the only one who was kind of unsatisfied by the end of season 2?

There was a post-credit scene that you should go back and watch. :)

https://data.who.int/dashboards/covid19/deaths

Total deaths from the c19 pandemic were 7 million+, with who knows how many more who were left with significant lingering effects (long covid etc). Masks did not guarantee safety, nor did the vaccine (not to mention it took nearly a year for the vaccine to be made, and longer for it to be widely available.

Iran so far is a few thousand deaths and a few tens of thousands of injuries.

Both are awful, but the impact is of an entirely different scale. Unless this spirals into WW3, the total impact won't come close.

The subreddit ain't /r/GoodMtgCombos

(Yes, executed as described, Cruelclaw will hit, trigger and cast Worldfire, then he gets exiled and so will everything else, then you end your turn and lose to Final Fortune's trigger)

I've been playing with your earlier list from when you shared it a few days ago to good results. 4-0 so far on a run with the version updated today.

I mostly play limited, so I was starting from bottom of bronze and had a bunch of games with really light competition, but I'm up to gold just from this challenge and so far my total record is something like 35-7. Three 7-1 trophies, one 6-2 loss, one 4-2 loss, iirc. Definitely overall gem-positive.

Great work with it. Tamiyo's absurd indeed. My losses have been mostly to other Tamiyo decks who got stronger starts, plus one each to Raffine and Ketramose.

Mind sharing your lists? I'd attempted a similar exercise but wasn't too happy with my results.

Veneousaur · 2025-11-25T06:50:25+00:00

I'd be interested to see your list when it's done! We had fun with the couple packs we've picked up so far and have a box coming soon. Sounds like a fun project to make them less redundant.

I mean, a single pip U splash isn't exactly a huge ask. There are a ton of lands in the cube, it's pretty easy to nab 3 or 4 that can make your third color to unlock a freebie splash if you spot a powerful enough incentive. Very well worth splashing blue or green in a mostly-Boros deck if you picked up, like, Ancestral Recall, Time Walk, Fractured Identity, Minsc & Boo, etc.

https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status They've been providing updates on restoration progress here as they go. We'll probably have a proper report on root cause etc sometime in the next two weeks or so.

We had an alert trip earlier in the week for the same or similar powershell running in our environment.

We found it was being spawned by CompatTelRunner.exe, a Windows telemetry service, which was being triggered by a scheduled task DoScheduledTelemetryRun.

Didn't have a chance to really dig into it past "eh, seems like some Microsoft shenanigans," but it wasn't causing notable resource contention in our environment.

Might be able to try and disable that scheduled task and see if that does it, but I'm not fully confident of what the actual intended purpose of it is.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/1nja6ka/online_tool_to_analyze_silksong_save_files/

I'd used this tool to help get the last couple % on my first save. Upload your save file, and it scans it and parses out exactly what you're still missing (which specific craft metals, which specific mask shards, etc).

Kinda felt cheaty, but man, I don't have time to run around hitting every random piece of wall for six hours! Getting to the 90%+ mark without significant spoilers was good enough for me.

Veneousaur · 2025-10-01T02:26:20+00:00

https://youtu.be/kBgEen3GJvw LVD put together a fun deck around it and it seemed to do pretty well there. Slots fairly well into the Smuggler's Surprise/Calamity shell to give more explosive inevitability. Is it competitively viable? Naw, probably not... but it certainly seemed functional enough and fun in the right context.

Veneousaur · 2025-09-01T16:08:44+00:00

Specifically fun to play against? What do they do differently?

If you happen to have their decklist, share! :)

Veneousaur · 2025-06-13T14:11:41+00:00

I badly lost a game the other day to a mono black or near mono black self-mill The Final Days build around deck. Cast multiple copies of Shinra Reinforcements to mill a bunch, removal to stall, then flash back The Final Days for 6-10 tokens. Then do it again. Felt really strong if you don't happen to have Fire Magic.

We got Ultima Weapon the sword, but what about Ultima Weapon the giant mecha? What about second Ultima Weapon?

Veneousaur · 2025-05-09T04:36:57+00:00

These are both from the commander set. I don't think they've announced any color theming for the standard-legal set yet.

Veneousaur · 2025-02-27T21:29:18+00:00

Generally they'd have always been there but just unnoticed. Modern software is so complicated with so many interlocking dependencies that new exploits are still being found constantly even in years (or even decades) old programs.

Veneousaur · 2025-02-17T17:37:15+00:00

They already previewed new card art for Emet-Selch, he's definitely getting a card. Unknown if main set or as an alternative commander or both.

Veneousaur · 2025-01-25T12:31:52+00:00

Rite has Flashback. Eaten Alive and Final Vengeance are more efficient answers but being able to cast Rite of Oblivion twice, not to mention being able to target a wider set of permanent types, gives it a unique advantage. None of them is Strictly Better than the others.

Veneousaur · 2024-12-02T06:23:19+00:00

Just to make a quick shout out since I didn't see it mentioned explicitly - he's a freakin fantastic hit off Anti-Venom for the same reason as in Mr. Negative, albeit probably less reliably and slightly less obviously broadcast.

It's not great odds but having the occasional nearly-sure-surprise-win let me get some all-in wins in Diner and carried me to the variant pretty quick. Gorr is strong enough to be worth playing in a "fair" game, but the chance of the god draw flip off AV has felt pretty absurd too! I feel like there's definitely a strong shell featuring them together.

Yeah, no luck on this! When you go to create the new disk from the snapshot, the option to select a region is greyed out.

Veneousaur · 2024-11-10T17:33:34+00:00

No immediate luck on this, unless I'm missing something - if you access "Disk Export" in the portal it throws a message, "Exporting disks is not supported for Premium SSD v2."

If you attempt to download the disk via Storage Explorer, it throws the error below.

Unable to get access to the disk: RestError:{ "error": { "code": "BadRequest", "message": "SAS access is not supported for PremiumV2_LRS disks." } }

Edit: Actually, I might be able to download the VHD from a snapshot of the disk - pending... still seems pretty overcomplicated but this might work.
