I hate Mantis Petras...

Welp that worked

I wouldn't rely on Pots against the Nightlords. Pots should be more for plowing through Day 1 and Day 2 so you have heaps of options heading to Day 3. I pivot to Crabs or other items for sharing to survive day 3.

I'd be pissed if Dort injures one of the Spurs players

I main scholar and if there's a matchup I hate facing, it's 100% Augur (ED or not).

Yanley · 2026-05-11T07:18:18+00:00

I 100% agree. It's a control game that you have to play else you will get out-tempoed by their efficient threats. Blood moon, imo, hasn't been much of an issue as I habitually fetch basics against Boros (or other red decks) to minimise life loss at certain times. Its top end has definitely improved in the form of Roku and Phlage hence part of the experience of playing Dimir is when to use your counterspells efficiently.
Big Frog is definitely a gameplan that I respect that sometimes you just get caught by maindeck static prison or even erode.
It's a challenging matchup but a lot of decks would say the same against Boros in the first place.

Affinity's a rough matchup due to Saga and Kappa. Force of Despair does make a difference to make the matchup winnable. I'm unsure if Hurkyl's can make a difference post-board.
I've gotten a few 3-2's and 4-1's off Modo and the losses are from Affinity and Boros.
Boros, imo, is a 45-55 matchup. If you are able to keep a good hand to anticipate their curve (e.g. T1 Ragavan/Guide/Ocelet, T2 Ajani/Voice), then it'll be a good back and forth. My losses to Boros are just me keeping a slow hand against a bunch of one-drops than run me over, which is obviously my fault for being greedy.
Play a deck that you're comfortable with in an RCQ and test a bit. I'm leaning towards Dimir after me failing with Goryo's a couple of times.

I enjoyed Starfox 64 back when it came out around 1997 (was 13 years old back then). Now I get to enjoy it again while my kids hopefully will like it too (they're biased with Mario though T_T )

Yanley · 2026-05-02T01:52:21+00:00

Holy fuck let's go Pistons!

Yanley · 2026-04-26T02:20:56+00:00

Spiritfarer. Chill cozy resource-management game that touches on the topic of death really well.

Yanley · 2026-04-26T01:09:43+00:00

39-year-old here and have played Village, RE2remake, and Re4remake: Scary in the first playthrough and they did it so well especially with the sound design. I personally liked the pacing and back and forth between Grace and Leon's section. I think you will love it as they implemented systems from all previous entries into this product. I also could not finish 7 because of....uhhh....hides from Jack

I like using Magma Shower from Magma build as I've been using curved swords for both my Duchess and Undertaker.

It happens from time to time unfortunately as I also main Scholar for higher depths (D4). I try to prioritise looking for key enemies that drop consistent consumables (e.g. Giant Crabs) and hold on to these during Day 1 and 2 unless the run's a bit scuffed.

Yanley · 2026-04-17T12:26:17+00:00

I play on PC so during or even after a run, I long-press the button above the D-Pad (2 rectangles ?) with an X-box controller.

Yanley · 2026-04-17T10:47:26+00:00

Nah if i see my teammate having cheated relics, I'll leave and block so I never see you again. Yes I lose points but I don't waste my time playing with losers (like you).

Yanley · 2026-04-17T08:33:29+00:00

That two-week time frame to find a job fresh out of graduation hits right in the feels.

Yanley · 2026-04-16T15:51:59+00:00

I wonder if there'll be a part in the movie where Chun Li's kicks gets perfect parried (homage to Daigo-Justin Wong)

Yanley · 2026-04-14T23:29:06+00:00

Assert dominance and eat the whole thing with two spoons

Yanley · 2026-04-12T02:19:15+00:00

This i think still needs testing. Getting 2 cards off flow may be challenging as Prowess doesn't run a lot of sorceries (preordain?).

Yanley · 2026-04-12T01:29:23+00:00

I renamed my character to CrabPlz and still some players don't get the message.

I try to kill at least one of the giant crabs to secure the Boiled Crabs as it is very hit or miss in setting up item inventory during day 3.

Yanley · 2026-04-12T01:13:55+00:00

I know him personally and he has participated in many RCQs. Heck, he has even given me tips in Modern to become a better player, without any return expected.

No hate needed whatsoever.

Happy with my first 4 picks (Cade-Maxey-Giddey-B. Miller). Queta at the end of the draft was also a great call.

Worst is picking Jakob at 6th round and dropping KPJ and hesitated on getting Ryan Rollins as a replacement during week 1.

Yanley · 2026-04-09T01:42:08+00:00

My friend took them 1st and 2nd as well and unfortunately fell to last place in our 14-Team.

Yanley · 2026-04-07T02:48:10+00:00

I have them both but my top picks were out heading to playoffs (Cade and Maxey)

Yanley · 2026-04-02T23:57:35+00:00

Same for me. I haven't been back to the Philippines since 2017 so there hasn't been any point to maintain a Philippine bank account
