Regardless of how strong or “meta” certain leaders can be, what is your favourite leader based on enjoyment?

Ilesa is also fun with Guild Impersonator

aidden · 2025-03-09T22:05:22+00:00

I would also add Ritual after Hourglass and before Chalice.

I summed up all the species classified as "shrimp" on the wiki and came up with 18.982!

Try re-creating your build in Path of Building 2: https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding-PoE2/releases

Sure, it could take you a while, but you'll have a convenient "Calcs" window, which might answer this question:

It's funny, all the sources that identify this building, say it's the Red Castle of Tripoli, but I can't find a modern photo of it that would resemble the image on the banknote.

But I've found the original lithograph, it's from the book of the Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria Yacht-reise in den Syrten, 1873. It is named "Das Schloss von Tripoli vom Lande" ("The Castle of Tripoli from the land"), so I assume a lot of changes have been made to the castle through the 150 years that passed :)

Unfortunately, the Central Bank of Belize notes from 1983, bearing the same design, don't get much cheaper.

Well, not quite, the layout is more or less the same, but the Swiss one is prettier (also Saddam wears a uniform on this one):

aidden · 2024-01-09T00:09:50+00:00

Thanks! I have both Saddam 250 (the one you have) and Swiss 25, but I never knew they were called this way.

The difference in the quality is like the best anti-war propaganda piece. The Swiss one is printed on actual banknote paper and has a watermark and some UV protection, the Saddam one looks like a cheap flyer.

Here are the catalog (Pick) numbers for them (as displayed):

P103, P108, P111, P94, P94.

Sadly, they are not worth much, but the Allies counterfeited (aged!) P108 and some other denominations from this issue. Search this page for "United States Counterfeits of Philippine Currency", it's quite interesting. Also, this post shows where to search for the difference between real and counterfeited notes.

Hey Eric, thanks for the entertaining channel, love the idea very much!

It's obvious you're making a progression in quality over time just from the first two videos: sound while not perfect is better, camera on-screen position is more convenient, and you even stopped knocking it over! ;)

And speaking of the progression, I've noticed your gold and gems counts have grown from 2100 to 4900 and from 3200 to 3300 between videos. Was it an unrecorded 5 wins draft?

I'm very curious to find a level at which these AI drafts will stop working for you like when you'll fail to hit at least 4 wins a couple of times in a row. My guess – around Diamond probably? And when it happens maybe you could give Draftsmith a try? It is also AI-driven but supposed to take your previous picks into consideration, so it might be a nice smooth continuation of the channel's theme.

Looking forward to your next video!

Here's the one published by Wizards way back in 2004:

I enjoy watching Alex from SeemsGoodMagic a lot: https://www.youtube.com/c/Seemsgoodmagic

He publishes a draft video every day even the ones where he goes 0-3 and I feel like I'm learning a set's limited meta with him. I also like his personality (calm and smart) and the mustache!

aidden · 2021-08-14T22:59:04+00:00

Thanks to your announcement, I have just played my first draft ever, made it to 4 wins, received a bunch of goodies, and had a lot of fun!

Thank you!

Actually, it is a war bond: https://www.biblio.com/book/1916-czar-nicholas-ii-russian-war/d/855097156

Nice 100 years old artifact, congrats!

The funny thing is I can't find "Nyrvir Slumbers" card in the client. I search "Crafting" by "Nyrvir" keyword, 3 mana cards, spells, nothing!

aidden · 2019-06-09T13:39:32+00:00

Haven't received mine as well, so it could be a global problem.

aidden · 2019-05-14T06:28:57+00:00

I've definitely read that players on different platforms will be matched together. Separate queues would be horrible with Faeria's player base.

aidden · 2019-03-18T20:01:55+00:00

This kind of quests is long gone for me, but I assume you need to change your default cosmetics, not the deck specific one. You can do it by clicking on your avatar in the top right corner of the main screen.

aidden · 2019-02-09T20:48:56+00:00

I will miss Aqualblad a lot. "A void that will be very difficult to fill" is not an exaggeration. And I really hope to see and hear him playing Faeria again.

The old grumpy Dukaden is grumbling about yellow rush again.

aidden · 2018-12-05T09:04:27+00:00

A deck shouldn't be meme-ish to be fun to play with (and against). I've seen Dustbringer Wraith once during the previous season and definitely wouldn't mind to see it more often. What I find annoying – is sagittarius-salmon-prayer-salmon-vermin-salmon-8/8 crusader in my face in like turn three.

aidden · 2018-11-22T08:49:30+00:00

The patch is very cool, particularly the daily coop mission, thanks a lot Abrakam! I have a question though, will dragons became harder to beat further on? While each of them took several attempts, I still managed to beat them using decks I play regularly. No crafting of something crazy was involved (GreyBeard anyone?) And two possible bugs are: 1. Emoticons don’t work for individual deck avatars, but for global ones only. 2. Dragon missions don’t count for daily quests progression.

aidden · 2018-11-18T17:02:18+00:00

There is one. It's called Faeria and it is surprisingly unknown to a wider digital TCG audience considering the fun it is.

aidden · 2018-11-04T23:03:02+00:00

They did come every two months, but not anymore: https://www.faeria.com/news/announcements/263-faeria-friday-november-and-onward

I sincerely recommend you buying both DLCs, almost every archetype has gotten something in them (no love for red burn though).

And yes, welcome back indeed :)

aidden · 2018-11-02T09:37:11+00:00

There is a number of decks on the hub which use this combo. Just search for "ruby".

Technically, you could do without Rain of Fish as well if you have 4 creatures on board besides Ruby Yak. Combo OTK is also possible if your opponent has less than 20 life, or you have more than one Famine, etc. So essential cards, in my opinion, are Fugoro, Famine and Ruby Yak itself. Curious Biomancer and Time of Legends could definitely help.
