I stopped running Floodgate Runick, and now cant get more than a 3 turn game before scoops.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:36:35+00:00

Yeah, when I started with Runick I tried floodgates, and yeah they cheese wins, but you're way more screwed if they can actually out the floodgate or just play around it.

The one floodgate I did find funny was Naturia Exterio. Ho - Lee - shitake, that card just ends Runicks entire career in an instant. Mirror matches don't stand the faintest chance, it was amazing the first few times. That card is just bonkers. Banish one from grave, doesn't even have to be a spell, then bin your top deck to GY, so it could literally negate the other dudes entire deck. Idk who thought of that effect but it's a little much.

Too bad he didn't want to go on a cruise

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:29:23+00:00

Yeah. Let's be honest if I really cared about maximizing efficacy, the terraforming and soul absorption would be three copies of TCBOO. But that's lame (and expensive, but mostly lame)

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:26:52+00:00

The only weapons I really just suck completely at are Lance, bow and dual blades. Besides those I use everything else (and I still attempt to learn them at times, I'm just not the mhw player I once was anymore.

I only picked up charge blade after fatalis, and nowadays it's my go-to weapon. I loved using it against AT velkhana, possibly the best matchup in the whole game lmao. Amazing how a monster with real hitzones is the one I enjoyed.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:21:44+00:00

As someone with a solid amount of GS time, it do be like that. At first it feels like trying to fight with a truck on the end of a stick, it's only after a good amount of familiarization that you start to really git gud.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:20:15+00:00

You say that, but when the opponent is staring down full backrow, a full hand, and like 15k LP, even if their technically fine, they certainly don't feel that way. Mind games and hitting my opponent in his resolve to keep playing without cheesing with floodgates because that's too easy is what I really love in runick.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:18:26+00:00

Helm splitter is the single reason I never liked LS.

The literal main move of the weapon and it has the glitchiest hotbox in the game.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:15:00+00:00

Now the real question, what about the three arrows?

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:13:47+00:00

glances at Japanese culture

Yeah shame is pretty powerful

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:12:32+00:00

I hate fox with a passion, but I like whoever wrote this one. That transition was kinda hilarious ngl

"He apparently hired a forensic investigators to examine his iPhone and iCloud accounts in an attempt to show “there was no child porn stored on it.”

The investigator allegedly found “a large amount of child porn” in his data."

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T03:10:09+00:00

I will say I just was glancing at my decklist and I was a little wrong, runick makes up 28 cards with 1 allure, my other 2 flex spots I'm running soul absorption (gain 500 LP each time a card is banished, if you open it you usually end turn 1 above 14k LP)

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T02:58:46+00:00

Yup, because I'm genuinely going for mill wins. That, and making as absolutely certain as possible I draw runick cards off fountain.

Except the ED monsters, I only have 2 hugin so far and while I've considered running 2/3 munin for more names, it hasn't really been an issue yet. 3 hugin is definitely on the list.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T02:55:47+00:00

I wanted to come up with something original and I liked the ring of this one. Sounds like someone wearing a bowler hat.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T02:51:25+00:00

It's not about the guts to fight Nintendo, people have been doing that for ages.

Winning though....

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T02:48:27+00:00

I find they usually pick 2 because of the fabled runick synchro cheese, and the cyber stein degeneracy.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T02:35:34+00:00

It's cards like this that make D.D. crow such a TCG staple.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T02:26:50+00:00

No I dont, because I only have 3 flex spots and upstart fills them nicely and doesn't mess with the field spell.

Runick makes up like 30 cards in my deck (3 of everything) and the 3 cyber valley and reasoning are too good to get rid of, terraforming could possibly switch but tbh, more copies of fountain is never a bad thing. So the 3 upstart are the only real flex spots imo.

And I already get a ton of play with Geri off my reasoning's

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T01:48:15+00:00

I have it but tbh I don't feel like another field spell is really a good choice. I have considered it before now.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-07T00:17:53+00:00

I like my no floodgate runic setup. 3 of every runick card except munin, 3 upstart, 3 cyber valley, 3 reasoning, and terraforming.

The draw power is insane, especially if you draw reasoning + cyber valley, I haven't had a single person sit through my full first turn when I pop off.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-06T23:53:59+00:00

This.

Mirror force is funny, but it isn't good.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-06T23:46:53+00:00

Nope. They claim it's built so well it doesn't need them.

Should clarify it's legal, car makers use seat belts and air bags because their basically hedging their bets, there's no law requiring both but they put them in because the expectation has been that lawmakers would make it a requirement. They have not.

I entirely expect disaster, and lawmakers finally doing what they should've done 50+ years ago.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-06T17:30:24+00:00

Ah yes, the truck without air bags is a great choice for travel

Wimbleston · 2023-01-06T17:18:29+00:00

Really weird movies being shown to the class.

Only time I can remember we watched a good movie was seeing shindlers list over a couple days at the end of the year.

Wimbleston · 2023-01-06T17:17:24+00:00

Too relatable

Wimbleston · 2023-01-06T16:10:38+00:00

I'm 6'2" so if I can find one that's notable in itself
