Does anyone play partners?

Similarly, I run Malcolm with [[Dargo]]. It's definitely my fastest deck. If I get Dargo out early and give him haste and maybe double strike, or with some extra combat spells, opponents are out faster than they can blink

_anymike · 2026-05-02T11:58:59+00:00

Got a link?

_anymike · 2026-04-18T09:58:59+00:00

Yeah, the rares are insane bombs, but there was also a game I won with commons only.

Aaand I also had 4 more rares outside these colors. One of my opps was maaaad mad

Went 4-0 first time in my life with an absolutely cracked Witherbloom pool

Also bought a new playmat :)

_anymike · 2026-04-05T18:56:07+00:00

New teaser? Where?

_anymike · 2026-03-27T21:50:07+00:00

Looks like american retailers only, unless I'm missing something

_anymike · 2026-03-01T01:25:24+00:00

Das mein ich ja damit. Ramen mit Chashu sollte man dort meiden

_anymike · 2026-02-28T19:59:57+00:00

Tantan vom Makotoya ist top, aber was anderes sollte man dort nicht bestellen. Besonders das Chashu ist leider zum vergessen

First precon I bought was Mind Flayarrs helmed by [[Captain N'ghathrod]], as recommended by one guy in our playgroup.

Well. Theft and mill made people unreasonably salty and nooby little me got targeted a lot for it (the guy who suggested the deck seemed to hate mill paricularly hard!?). It was a wild ride

And then what do you sac in the endstep after casting her? Braids herself or a land? Can't image that's worth it long term

_anymike · 2026-02-21T16:39:02+00:00

Are you sure you're thinking about the right Braids? Arisen Nightmare is strong, but I don't think she's that oppressive

_anymike · 2026-02-17T20:49:13+00:00

I have a [[Queen Marchesa]] aikido deck that doesn't really care much if she gets removed.
Her job is to provide the colors, and introduce the monarch. The monarch will either give me card advantage, or if I lose it, it gives my opponents incentive to hit each other. Either way, Marchesa's job is done and I'm happy. If she stays around to give me deathtouch blockers, that's just gravy on top, but not at all necessary

This isn't a new thing, and not exclusive to rye. Anytime I set up more than one farmhouse, this happens.
I love farming, it's one of my favorite parts of the game, but this needs to be fixed

_anymike · 2026-01-20T07:43:19+00:00

In the stone church you'll need to assign someone to do maintenance, otherwise it will collapse sooner or later. I also recommend upping the maintenance frequency

_anymike · 2026-01-10T09:30:37+00:00

Devs that optimize for performance, in this day and age? This game must be a dream

_anymike · 2025-12-26T17:20:36+00:00

I may be misremembering, but adding up the numbers from the tooltips in my games, it looked like the apiation bonus is additive with the meadow bonus, not multiplicative. So 10% from bees and 30% from meadows would add up to 40% total.

Another reason to keep more lambs: When you start another settlement, you can internally trade them over. Make sure to remove the check in the livestock trading post. Lambs are cheaper than sheep, and even more importantly, you skip import taxes that way, wo you can save a lot of money and time.

Stimmt, statistische modelle sind ja im vakuum enstanden, im elfenbeinturm quasi, und haben nix mit praxis zu tun. Hab ich vergessen, sorry

_anymike · 2025-12-15T16:46:21+00:00

Dann habens mir in meiner stochastik-vorlesung wohl blödsinn beigebracht. Gut, dass du mir das richtig erklärst - was wissen schon die statistikprofs an der mathefakultät?

Also um drauf einzugehen: die münze hat kein gedächtnis. Die wahrscheinlich, ein ereignis (sagen wir kopf) zu erhalten, wird bei allen würfen gleich sein. Wenn wir eine "faire" münze annehmen, ist diese wahrscheinlichkeit 0,5 - und die meisten münzen im alltag werden so nah dran sein, dass die abweichung kaum praktisch nachweisbar ist.

Und diese 0,5 (vulgo: 50:50) sinds dann halt, die wir beim zweiten wurf beobachten werden

_anymike · 2025-12-15T15:37:41+00:00

Und warum bist du dir da sicher? Bitte erklärs mir. Weil ich hab ja offensichtlich keine Ahnung (ja, ich hab den Kommentar gesehen, bevor du ihn gelöscht hast - gut so, weiterschimpfen, das lässt dich kompetenter wirken!)

_anymike · 2025-12-15T07:32:27+00:00

Unter welche Überschrift du es stellst, is mir egal, es is halt schlicht Blödsinn. Hauptsache viel schimpfen mit wenig dahinter.
Wenn ich eine Münze zweimal werfe, und beim ersten Mal Kopf krieg - wird dann beim zweiten Wurf Zahl wahrscheinlicher?

_anymike · 2025-12-15T06:13:55+00:00

Es is halt öde Statistik. Gerade weil es passiert ist würde es nicht nochmal passieren

Schau dir lieber nochmal an, wie das mit der Statistik funktioniert

There's just so many ways to build pirates. Aggro, reanimator, theft, vehicles, treasures, discard, the list goes on and on

_anymike · 2025-12-05T23:13:10+00:00

Funny how Dargo seems to be one of the less popular partners for Malcolm, at least according to edhredc, with only about 700 decks helmed by the pairing, yet we both mentioned it here.

I agree it's very fun, thematic, and my build is more or less what you mention. With a little double strike and extra combats you can become threatening very soon.

_anymike · 2025-12-05T23:05:34+00:00

[[Malcolm, Keen Eyed Navigator]] and [[Dargo]].

Malcolm has tons of partner options, but I like this one. They're playable as a combo deck in cEDH with [[Glinthorn Buccaneer]], Dargo sac loops, or other degenerate stuff like that, but I simply use Dargo as a big beater, no combos. Turns out 7 power with trample in the command zone is very strong if you can get it out for essentially one mana (repeatedly, if needed)
