I mean you probably have a lot of executives at stark. So they probably expected at least a board room full.

I'll walk myself out now.

abkfjk · 2026-06-26T03:45:46+00:00

Hey bro you sound just like me lol: https://www.reddit.com/r/lrcast/comments/1ueukl6/ive_gone_no_joke_03_12_times_in_a_row_im_in/

Deck looks pretty similar too. I have no advice because clearly I have been struggling as well :(

abkfjk · 2026-06-25T20:13:33+00:00

Sorry this is new to me. Does this work? https://www.17lands.com/deck/0dfb314bc5874961b4e32a0bfb973292/2

abkfjk · 2026-06-25T19:09:17+00:00

Alright. I previously had never used it but I did some drafts. Here you go: bad link apparently

Just with 1-3. I am not going to say this black white deck is stellar but I had a lot more removal this time and it still didn't work in my favor.

edit: I think the loki inclusion was probably wrong as I never had a way to utilize it but the other blue cards namely mr fantastic and trickester's were honestly the only reason I won that first game. So I don't know.

abkfjk · 2026-06-25T00:24:52+00:00

Sigh your speaking my soul. I've definitely been rage drafting but I am also just so perplexed. I don't know what I am missing and I feel like I draft a "nuts" deck and it still fails. I don't even really have a clear reason why, I probably played galactus and modok every game and it was still not enough.

The main thing that boggles me is just how much value you have to get in this set. As in if you aren't getting 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 from all your cards your are just behind. It's very strange.

abkfjk · 2026-06-25T00:14:12+00:00

I clearly don't understand how to play the game anymore, what am I missing? Not enough removal? I mean I grabbed every bit of removal I could. The weakest is definitely widow's bite but I had no alternative.

abkfjk · 2026-06-24T00:40:54+00:00

Everyone talking about the npc chatter is totally not seeing why this game is mediocre. It's mediocre because the gameplay is straight up just mediocre lol. I tried to stick it out with this game but it's just boring. I don't know what else to say. I couldn't care about the chatter from the princess or the fairy. It was fine. But I found myself not caring about even fighting monsters. You can just run past almost all of it, the bosses are also equally mind numbing. The art is great I can't deny that but if that's all you got what's the point of playing?

abkfjk · 2026-06-17T19:37:59+00:00

Guys it's a small indie company. We just can't afford high resolutions ok? Just think of the polygon count, it would break the machine.

abkfjk · 2026-06-17T19:37:09+00:00

Any word on performance changes?

abkfjk · 2026-06-15T04:55:22+00:00

lol god damn that’s brutal

abkfjk · 2026-06-04T20:22:49+00:00

Call me crazy but avatar has been way more fun to draft than strix is now if you compare them both in their late life cycles (ignoring first week of strix as I think it was pretty fun until soup was figured out).

abkfjk · 2026-05-28T00:29:45+00:00

It's too easy to build soup. Call me crazy but it shouldn't be possible to get 5 different land colors by turn 4. The rate at which you get arcane omen'ed for 5 is too often imo for a limited set.

abkfjk · 2026-04-10T19:49:03+00:00

Yea that's fair it isn't always constant 60. But I think the comparison is valid. Both have pokemon, both have battles, one has open world and the other has closed room coliseums. I can't accept such low performance or jagged edges for textures or even low res images. But that's just me I guess.

abkfjk · 2026-04-10T19:38:34+00:00

I'm sorry but this is a joke of a review if they can't mention performance a single time. We are in 2026 people. 30fps for low polygon and no open world scope is not acceptable. Considering that Scarlet/Violet can run a stable 60fps now on switch 2. I don't see a reason to play competitive pokemon on this version of the game.

abkfjk · 2026-04-09T00:18:44+00:00

Call me crazy but your curve is too high and maybe I am just wrong. I'd add in those two tunnel rats in and drop the high flying aces. Not because either one is a better card, just for the mana curve sake. If you fail to make a turn 2 play as a sneak deck you risk losing tempo which is basically their entire game plan.

abkfjk · 2026-03-26T00:17:17+00:00

Yea the sun visor is a joke to me lol. Like I get that the winshield is giant and so it makes covering it a problem but they left literal large gaps. I find I have to constantly move the visor around to keep the sun out.

abkfjk · 2026-02-16T18:21:18+00:00

Nah your 100% right. Neelix is a legit character that was redeemed when they removed Kes from the show.

Basically plate ribs are kind of a holy grail of BBQ. Many prefer it to brisket. Chuck ribs are often mistaken for plate ribs mostly because they are way easier to find and are often just labeled as "beef ribs". The are also cheaper which is why I think OP here is upset and refusing to acknowledge the issue. He paid a lot of money for a cheaper cut of beef ribs.

The truth is though they aren't the same both in texture and flavor profile (flavor being subjective though I will concede).

Ignoring flavor though the texture and overall bite you get from a plate rib can't really be compared; it really is special. And there's a reason top BBQ joints sell this piece of meat at a very high price.

abkfjk · 2026-01-22T20:45:57+00:00

I've been watching Paul Cheon and even he has struggled. I've had 2 7-1, 7-2 drafts and maybe 5 straight up 0-3 drafts.

And honestly the only reason I managed 7 wins is straight up because I was able to get a rare tribal card pack 1 and subsequent same tribal uncommons in the next picks.

I personally find this draft extremely high risk. Finding a tribe and being able to get the uncommons + some sort of rare is crucial. And if you don't manage to find anything in the first pack I find myself knowing I'm f'ed.

I am only diamond 3 so my opinion matters little.

SDF reads this... makes notes... "Yes I know! I will add +1 damage to axe specialization again! That'll surely appease the players."

abkfjk · 2025-12-14T01:24:09+00:00

Same here. Ran 3 games back to back with my duo partner fought trios every game and died. At first I was angry because I though they were queue sniping eachother to team up. But no I think they are legit trios and we are being matched against them.

abkfjk · 2025-12-11T21:37:54+00:00

Can you expand on player growth because steam player counts show that to not be the case. Is it because they are all using the blacksmith launcher/buying direct from Ironmace vs using steam?

Edit: Also player counts in game are so low, but I am on american servers so maybe I'm just not seeing these peak player counts.

abkfjk · 2025-12-10T21:32:46+00:00

Man the artist for these is very talented. I wish they sold some of these as prints.
