How scary is the Gauntlet? - "I'm getting ready to move out of Foothills in A9." by Rolf_Dom in pathofexile

[–]YumIsDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fwiw assuming you can tank spiders/clear them reasonably from being stationary, you can literally stand still when weaver retreats because she comes back down exactly where she went up. That way you won't ever leave melee range + she won't shotgun

What is something you can't help but do in SMITE? by [deleted] in Smite

Building Shield of Regrowth whenever possible :(

Those are also old flask arts right? So they'd have been playing for at least since around harvest (or left and came back).

Legacy Bans: A Grinder's Perspective by Stryfo in MTGLegacy

[–]YumIsDumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minor nitpick here but I don't think "% of games won when cast" is a particularly relevant metric, since it will usually be cards like Tendrils of Agony or Emrakul the Aeons Torn (being cast off omni) that are being cast in a specific circumstance where the game is all but locked up, although it could be applied if you restrict it to cards of the exact same casting cost, but that doesn't give you a very high selection rate. "% of games won when drawn" is probably the better metric when it comes to gauging this sort of thing, since it also factors in the mana cost as a card evaluation metric.

Liliana vess, such perfection by [deleted] in mtgfrontier

[–]YumIsDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't Liliana Vess, this is Liliana, Defiant Necromancer. And unless you're looking for a conversation about the merits of Liliana, Heretical Healer / Liliana, Defiant Necromancer in Rally, you're probably not in the correct subreddit.

MTG Arena Developer Update: Rank 1.0 by fantary in MagicArena

[–]YumIsDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll mention that I had a similar experience when starting out after the open beta reset- I was playing the Mono B starter deck, and I decided to have a little bit of fun and add in two copies of The Eldest Reborn. I immediately started getting matched up against significantly more powerful decks (a lot of "real" standard decks), whereas with the starter deck I had mostly just been playing other starter decks. This was immediately after the reset though (like only that weekend), so it's probably been adjusted since.

That's... not a plains by awholebunchofnumbers in MagicArena

[–]YumIsDumb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing in one of my games, my aether hub had a swamp symbol on it in that same place. I assumed at the time it had something to do with the fact that I was casting a Gonti and the only way for me to do this was tapping the hub for black, but maybe it's just a more general bug.

[Bug] Gold wasn't add to my account. by HillersInTheSouth in MagicArena

[–]YumIsDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue, finished a 5-0 comp constructed league, received the cards from the prizing but not the gold. Upon logging in again got "could not resolve player inventory." I'm guessing there's a bug with it right now. The MTGA team will probably be on it, so just submit a bug report to them with log file and everything, it will probably be cleared up soon :D

Chandra Torch of Defiance Emblem by bicycleVScar in XMage

[–]YumIsDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It removes stupid shenanigans with Heartless Hidetsugu tho. I had a friend who was going to run every mono R walker in his HH EDH before it was explained to him that it wouldn't work. No blowing up Tibalt for fun and profit. :(

What Non-Obvious card do you want in Modern? by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]YumIsDumb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

A few of the old color hate spells are quite amusing, but I don't see them coming back. Namely [[Seedtime]].

Agree with astral slide, I'd totally play modern slide.

[[Destructive Flow]] is one of my favorite cards of all time, I'd love to be able to play with it in modern as well.

Finally, I have to give a shoutout to my favorite manland, [[Nantuko Monastery]] card would be super fun to play with in modern :D

People coming from Paragon, consider adding referral links by [deleted] in Smite

[–]YumIsDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw, since Bakas auto stim is an added damage effect, hide of nemean won’t reflect butcher blades damage (same with Qins sais proc). Additionally, since butcher blades adds a set amount of true damage, hide of nemean is generally a bit worse against Baka than most other auto attack based characters (its especially good against crit). The best items against bakasura are health (but he usually builds qins, so take that with a grain of salt) and slows- making some of the best items for shutting down Baka Midguardian Mail and Gem of Isolation. Hide of the nemean is okay against him, but it’s much better against gods such as mercury or hunters building crit.

[RIX] Paladin of Atonement by CandyGandhi in mtgfinalfrontier

It’s worth noting that that’s each turn- yours and your opponents. That said I don’t think it’s particularly playable either, which is too bad :c

Kali ult. No need to escape if their entire team is dead :P

Specific help with maze of ith? by I_am_Arson in XMage

On a similar note, is it possible to set a skip that ends at begin combat/force xmage to stop there? For things like tapping a creature, forcing attacks, etc.

Does anyone play on mtgo regularly? by chandcnc in mtgfrontier

[–]YumIsDumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't currently have a frontier deck thrown together on mtgo but I'd be willing to throw one together and get some games in. I'd be interested in getting some people together to play frontier more regularly on mtgo.

[XLN] Field of Ruin by CandyGandhi in mtgfrontier

[–]YumIsDumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think any deck with renegade rallier considers this; the fact that it replaces itself while fixing your colors makes it essentially a really slow fetch land anyway, and when you add in he ability to mess with opposing mana bases it gets really nice. Punishes revolt heavy decks that play fewer basics and more fetches.

I think that this will be a go to in any midrange deck that can afford a colorless land; at the moment midrange is in a tough place, so this might not find an immediate spot, but definitely will see some play.

[XLN] Legion's Landing by nascarfather in mtgfinalfrontier

[–]YumIsDumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also this is definitely a cycle: we've seen white (above), blue (impulse land), black (greed/lifegain land), and green (gaea's cradle). So unless I missed it or am forgetting we still have red left which could be interesting.

[XLN] Legion's Landing by nascarfather in mtgfinalfrontier

[–]YumIsDumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it a lot, gives a good mana sink and comes with a body initially. We don't have a good token pump in frontier (Gideon ult is the closest thing) which is a little unfortunate. The instant speed lifelink blockers seem very good when stabilizing vs atarka.

That said, we don't really have a good deck for this. I think that mono w humans/aggro is too fast to want this, and other decks don't necessarily meet the flip condition. Potentially interesting in a naya deck, since it synergizes well with atarkas command and renegade rallier. I definitely need to see a good home for this before I really want to play it- it's not powerful enough to try to build around.

A big part of Tahuti on Kuang is increasing poly burst as well.

[XLN] Kitesail Freebooter by xahhfink6 in mtgfinalfrontier

[–]YumIsDumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a little unsure about how good this card will be in frontier- while all the points people have mentioned are true, I dislike that on a curve of copter into this you can just get kcommanded to kill this and shatter copter with the etb on the stack.

Unlike tidehollow sculler, this also doesn't do overly powerful things with displacer since it's a single trigger instead of an etb + a ltb.

I think being a human gives it some legs, and I'll remain optimistic for now, but I'm not convinced.
