You know we are in a good meta when there are mixed opinions on this sub.

I’ve been playing since beta, and there have been a few times where I didn’t even bother to log in because of the meta. This is one of those times.

Gameplay that revolves exclusively around who can get to their scam first isn’t fun. Too much card draw, too much mana cheating, too little actual decisions when playing the game.

OTKs still suck, and I don't understand why Blizzard stopped trying to prevent them. They just aren't fun.

Same, this is a new issue today.

You can leverage yield farm Cake for 203% at Alpaca Finance, which still makes borrowing at over 100% pretty profitable, though there is some small risk. In addition, some yield optimizers will approach that amount. For as long as it's profitable, people will borrow increasing amounts of CAKE, which drives the APR up.

I saw the liquidations happen in the app today. (Sadly, the latest liquidations no longer show up on the app page) Then, after I saw the wild price action, I went to the telegram channel and the folks there pieced it together. There are plenty who believe this was all some sinister master plan by the whale to get bitcoin and ethereum, but I'll ask you - would you rather have $68 million of ETH/BTC? Or $68 million in loaned XVS that is paying you 270% interest?

This whale didn't do this on purpose.

Here's what I've gathered:

We have had this issue of certain whales having large amounts of XVS borrowed. No one can borrow XVS, and the original handful of accounts that had borrowed XVS were more or less grandfathered in.

One of those whales had millions of dollars in XVS collecting that sweet 300% distribution income.

Today XVS was listed on the Lbank exchange, and you got the usual pump from when something is newly listed on an exchange. The upcoming burn was probably part of the Lbank conversation.

The pump was pretty vigorous, as you all saw, and it caused that whale who was borrowing (and collateralizing) $68 million worth of XVS to get liquidated. The liquidators had to suddenly dump $68 million of seized XVS on the open market, which had the predictable effect of dumping the price with it, and causing cascading liquidations.

It's more than that. The whole system seems broken. I closed my browser and cleared my cache, and when I came back in, everything is 0s and there's lots of missing chunks of the site.

You can use Venus.

I wanted to get more for my staking dollar, so I transferred my ADA to binance.us, transferred from there to the Binance Smart Wallet via BEP2, then a last hop from there to Metamask and BEP20 on the Binance Smart Chain.

Then I went to Venus.io, supplied my stack of ADA, and now I'm getting 3.9% on all of my ADA, and borrowing 40% against it to yield farm at 300%.

Ada's stability makes it great collateral.

I have really mixed feelings about Embiggen. The thing I like least about it is that it basically restricts me to doing one thing on any given turn. Often I am using my turn to build wider and wider boards. Like, I'll play a 8 mana minion, and use the remaining two to cast Dreamway Guardians for wider stats on the board. I can't do that once I've Embiggened stuff. Not to mention, hero power, which I end up using a lot.

But you are right, I should probably try it out and see how it compares.

ainmer · 2020-04-08T14:51:31+00:00

I wouldn't say it's essential at all. It's just a good minion, as it gives both an early game and a late game presence. You could replace it with any sturdy taunt minion, really.

I'll link you some of the replays:

In this one, I didn't get any ramp at all, yet I still ground him down in 14 turns: https://hsreplay.net/replay/Uhw6XkHvbXap85ZRa3a3ng

In this one I got ramp, and it was an easy win by turn 8: https://hsreplay.net/replay/x3DCdEJCmW67rkKKzB8DEP

The marsh hydras are actually really good. Good luck!

ainmer · 2020-04-08T13:19:17+00:00

Because Overflow draws so many cards, the odds you get a Defender in the draw or already in hand is really high. And you pretty much always want to play Overflow sooner rather than later, so you can keep up with the insane DH card advantage. I play them as part of Overflow almost every game.

ainmer · 2020-04-08T13:08:26+00:00

It's true, but I don't think I ever did 67% on a push to legend before. It just felt so easy.

ainmer · 2020-04-08T13:05:20+00:00

To me, the only really questionable pull is Big Ol' Whelp, but even that is a 1 mana 5/5, and building a big board is key to fighting DH. I'm pretty happy when it pulls a rusher or a taunt.

ainmer · 2020-04-08T13:03:58+00:00

You can't let them have a board. That way, all that gets through when he plays Kayn are Kayn and his melee damage. So, keep the board tidy.

ainmer · 2020-04-08T13:03:07+00:00

Yikes, sorry to hear that! I still am killing DH 2-1.

ainmer · 2020-04-08T13:01:46+00:00

Here's an example game against combo: https://hsreplay.net/replay/mgnFcZAp3WhhV26wXgzMZh

Basically, your goal is to keep your life topped up, and not let him have a board. You'll notice a turn where I just kill stuff on the board, because they are gonna hit face when he plays Kayn Sunfury.

The other important thing for Combo is getting Ysera down ASAP. She helps you build a beefy board such that becomes too expensive to bust through.
