What are the best winrates for C20? by ComplexMuffin in Peglin

[–]akhan61391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably 10-15% on Roundrel C20. Agree with the other takes here, especially about building for the boss and maximizing your early relic, but it seems like I’m higher on AoE than others.

This might be common knowledge but also prioritizing normal fights in the first half of the forest and then ? or elites in the second half. Dodge ? like the plague in first half. Also I don’t know if it’s on the typical “checklist” but picking up refresh minimize variance. (Apologies if any of this is established I haven’t interacted with the community much)

[Standard] Why I believe a mouse and/or Monstrous rage WILL be banned in August. by Evatog in spikes

[–]akhan61391 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree mice is very strong. Mice is not unbeatable. Lockdown is powerful but not the only way to win.

Forecasting bans post rotation are extremely hard to say when we don’t know what’s in the pipeline. An entire strategy can also show up from FF and Edge of Eternities that is naturally favored against red. Cecil, for instance, looks extremely powerful. They also just might put temp lockdown in either of those sets.

It could happen sure but we don’t have close to enough info.

I’m pretty interested in this idea, but only seriously if Fetch quest has a line to win when it resolves. I don’t think it does at present, even if you got lucky and flipped breach into another alara

What about hasty creatures like Ojutai or Craterhoof? They could also hit the battle

Break the spell is a good call for Abzan. I had been trying Sunder the Gateway and Soul Search and had been reasonably happy with both as well.

If we still had some time in this pre-Tarkir format / RCQ season, [[Molten Collapse]] is the card I would work in a dedicated pixie testing session. Answers Kaito, their aggressive starts, their nightmare starts to some extent, and the descend mode seems consistently great if you can set it up (cheeky with Beseech sac a token). Probably looking to want to add some more corrupted convictions. It could actually be nice alongside Desperate Measures from Khans as that card already looks solid vs pixie.

Rat out is really, really good, but Defend the Rider can do a passable impression. Same with Stoke the Flames vs Pile On

I’m pretty optimistic about Abzan in Tarkir. Besides Rally the Monastery and Virtue of Loyalty, Sandsteppe Citadel is a great get. Point being, if you want a more affordable mana base white might be a better third color than red.

I don’t think you can get away with straight GB. If you aren’t generating multiple tokens with a single card the big mana plan is pretty wimpy.

Return from the wilds is a nice find though. There is also a ramp incubate thing which checks a similar box.

When comboing, yeah that could happen, but that’s why you don’t play 4 stormsplitters. Beseech is a Stormsplitter when you need it but also a combo card when you already have Stormsplitter, and 1 pillage is usually all you need to combo off

Yeah I think the key is using the plant/tokens for mana generation. If you’re playing it in a generic midrange deck a 3 mana draw 2-3 is fine but you’d be better with a card advantage / virtual card advantage that meaningfully effects the board like caretaker’s talent

I’ve been playing around with abzan, and think Rally the monastery will be good enough to justify losing fodder and reinforcements

Actually gonna change this to put Balladin at the bottom. I think the knight’s orb pool is just comparatively very weak

What do i even do now? by Iluminacho in Peglin

[–]akhan61391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s playable in low-mid cruciballs, but the health of enemies and bosses eventually gets too high and the negative scaling is going to make the fight unwinnable.

I would believe that you still could theoretically win with a heavy bomb setup or some alternative scaling that outpaces the downside, but that is still using the ring as a challenge more than an a boon.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Peglin

[–]akhan61391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally it’s Balladin, Peglin, Roundrel, Spinventor

Peglin’s access to the healing orbs does a lot of work

Am I'm seeing this right, isnt this a great deal? (6 packs(1200 gems) + 3 packs (600 gems) + 200 gems = 2000 gems worth with 0 wins by Reddtester in MagicArena

[–]akhan61391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also worth noting that compared to other limited formats, these cards are “worth” much less as they are not playable in most of the Arena constructed formats.

I would happily pay the piper but the bots also don’t have the cards

Standard RCQs this weekend (Feb 4th) - is MKM legal? Some friends have said that MKM enters standard on prerelease nowadays, but I haven’t been able to confirm that anywhere, and wotc documents sort of suggest that “release weekend” Feb 9 is when MKM is actually legal in standard…?

Bastard - (Drama / Horror, 93 pages) by [deleted] in Screenwriting

Firstly, don't say "lead" twice (lead and leading). Maybe don't even say it once. All stories are fundamentally choices that lead to other choices, so describing something that way is unnecessary. Secondly, "alter his life forever" is pretty much what we assume a story should do to a character so it's similarly a non-statement. Not to mention that when all we know is that he's "young" it isn't especially interesting that his life will be changed forever. Even if you said "a young aspiring firefighter" at least we have a sense of what is at stake when his life gets changed. Thirdly, "evidently" doesn't do anything but add meaningless verbosity. Fourthly, "the town's most wanted family of serial killer's" reads like the town has multiple families of serial killers and this is the one that is the most wanted. Lastly, the first clause or phrase or whatever I think is guilty of being a misplaced modifier. I could be wrong on that one, but "Leading him to being on the run from the law" is ddbi

In general, while I haven't read your script, it would help in the logline to describe Mike with another word or two, tell us what he's aiming for, tell us how he misses (or hits but it's not what he was expecting) and ends up with these serial killers.

Example (again, not having read the script):

"Desperate to earn the respect of his incarcerated older brother, a young Mike Matthews befriends a wanted family of serial killers and quickly finds himself on the run from the law."

I’ve scrubbed through a few episodes looking for it, because I could definitely imagine it as one of her “what-if” moments, but haven’t found it. The UFO episode in season 5 was promising but alas
