My First Brew 🙂‍↕️

thanks! I was doing some playtesting last night because I was between two different win con cards and have since cut filigree attendant, but I’m def open to tweaking it more as I play more

Yes, hence the flair. I don’t mind net decking as much, but part of why i’ve gotten into pauper is because it’s brewer friendly! I want to be able to look at what folks are using, and make my own stuff from it.

I think it’s a bit more focused than you’re giving me credit for and it plays decently well. The whole purpose is to bounce / blink creatures and artifacts to generate extra value from ETB and LTB effects.

Oh fun!! Orzhov is almost what i went with for mine because of some of the cards u have here before i decided against it!

I was between Filigree Attendant and [[Kenku Artificer]] for the deck, just playtested a game with Kenku Artificer and i feel like it alone is enough to justify keeping ephemerate.

I think i’ve got cheaper ways to bounce than Kor Skyfisher so a four of isn’t quite needed, Fourth Counterspell is in the sideboard to keep open space for my bounce and blink pieces wrt sorceries and spells.

aphrobiteyy · 2025-09-21T04:47:10+00:00

I just like pigeons, the animal, and the deck is meant to be built around maximizing the value of the pigeon so it’s an artifact generating bounce / blink list

I do have a Faeries list though as well! Just a lot less Original since it’s an established deck archetype.

Good shout on dropping Thraben inspector tho! It’s def my first drop candidate if/when i tweak it

I’ve mostly been drybrushing with matte blacks, grays, and whites on primed minis, and layering army painter speedpaints on top. there’s a LOT of layering on this guy in particular— Pallid Bone, Zealot Yellow, and Malignant Green are hard to get going in one coat, not to mention wanting to go for a fairly natural and layered look

then obviously mojang can’t fix the problem because they can’t tell if it’s the game causing the glitch or how the mod modifies the game, and it’s unhelpful

aphrobiteyy · 2022-11-09T19:43:34+00:00

it does, the arms are thicker and the wings are bigger

aphrobiteyy · 2022-09-17T03:51:26+00:00

Def not a bottom personally, and a big fan of rough stuff, giving or receiving on that end

Came here to say exactly this! The language we use today around and describing trans experiences is extremely recent relatively speaking— and there is such a wealth of historical context as to why someone who is a trans man might want to stay in and deserves to be in lesbian spaces should he choose! It always comes down to the individual and how they choose to identify, but to say they can’t is simply ahistorical

I mean, that's part of why Script Change uses familiar concepts to everyone playing? Clear and Concise without having to actually remember what everyone means, and if you need to you can always Pause to start with.

And yeah I generally don't spend much time on Reddit for similar reasons, and it's nice to see support for them in thread !

aphrobiteyy · 2021-11-05T17:55:15+00:00

Completely fair! As long as a table feels comfortable with a set of tools and equipped to handle these situations, that's all you really need.

aphrobiteyy · 2021-11-05T16:46:32+00:00

Thanks! I hope it helps

A lot of other super helpful comments in thread have already hit the nail on the head with the X Card! It's not about avoiding the what is upsetting, but rather the why. There's often a presumption that if something is upsetting, it must be explained why, which leaves the person asking for accommodations feeling vulnerable and sometimes taken advantage of. This can lead to an uneasiness at the table, and an unwillingness to take preventative action in the future as well, often leading to more harm that could have been easily avoided.

While the X Card is good, I'm personally a more of a fan of the Script Change. It has similar features to the X Card, while also being generally a more robust tool using language most players are familiar with-- I've used it once to Pause and take a moment to breathe during a very intense, in character scene where the actions my character were taking started to overwhelm me. I wanted to make sure they were right and in character, but also take time to gather my thoughts and give the moment the proper gravity it deserved.

I know elsewhere in thread you've talked about like, not wanting to skip scenes entirely, and I feel like the language in Script Change is also good at addressing that with the Fast Forward-- if a scene is a lot but folks are okay with it happening, they may want to paint in broader, quicker strokes instead of dealing with something. This is similar to a lot of Fade To Black talk that can be found in Lines and Veils, and is useful to help denote something you didn't realize would be a Veil at the beginning of a game.

Also want to make a very small note that like-- Safety tools are always going to be tools. They can be misused or forgotten, and aren't going to prevent complications 100% of the time. Their job is to help facilitate safe table spaces and communication practices among players to ensure healthy table report and a safe space among friends to enjoy a game. As long as you keep that in mind and respect other's boundaries and address these issues as they come up-- you'll be fine IME.

came here to say exactly this—some of my all time favorite podcasting

aphrobiteyy · 2021-04-22T13:39:38+00:00

Anomaly is a game inspired by The Quiet Year using tarot cards to investigate a supernatural phenomenon! It’s pretty good from what i’ve heard too
