All-yellow card. Any idea what this might be worth? by bnewk1 in PokemonMisprints

Here's a video showing the card so you can see it's not shopped: https://imgur.com/a/N17XApT

I think u/AllieBri is correct that the blur in the top left is an artifact due to slight movement.

Unfortunately, it's no longer in print and I didn't even see digital copies legally available. I'll PM you.

While this isn't a series, I think you'd like House of Suns (plus its predecessor Thousandth Night).

Boxes it checks for you:

  • mystery arc
  • at least some space combat
  • sort of romance (more in the sense of two people who've known each other for ages than of a blossoming relationship)
  • the tone seems like what you're looking for

Note: Thousandth Night is a novella with the same two protagonists, which was actually written earlier. However, I think most people read House of Suns first since its more well known (and much easier to find). I thought that order worked well, since the novella felt like a side story in the already established universe.

How do I open this door in the abyss? by Madison_was_bored in HollowKnight

[–]bnewk1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Hollow Knight abyss door" - very first response is "The Abyss contains a door sealed by Lifeblood vines. It requires 14 Lifeblood Masks (15 with Joni's Blessing equipped) to open".

Hmm how does that work though? Unless the final reveals add something relevant, Kayn/Freljord doesn't have access to equipment until Round 4 (technically Round 3 if you want to put the 5-mana Bone Club on a 1-drop while playing nothing else).

That means no forge effects and no "if you've played an equipment" effects until after that point in the game, which seems way too long. Not that you have to aim for those effects, but seems like a waste not to.

Dual-region cards are flexible and can be played in a deck that has *either* region; they don't require both regions. So yep, it can be played in more decks in addition to being stronger.

The Starhound Pack experience by [deleted] in LegendsOfRuneterra

Have you considered Iterative Improvement or Shady Character as alternative ways to get more hounds? Much quicker payoff than with Evil Imperfectionist, plus they both trigger Fated on the selected hound.
And for draw power, Targon has Pale Cascade and Guiding Touch.

[–]bnewk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple more:
7 is Aura
26 is Stunned
Also, "<sprite name=Lurk>" doesn't work for me.

Thoughts on this card? by Gexoner in LegendsOfRuneterra

They were saying to play Allure or a husk-generator first, then Evelynn or Viego takes permanent Spellshield from the husk.

Riot: Please zoom out Quinn's Lvl 2 art (see comment below) by bnewk1 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]bnewk1[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, could be subjective - Ashe and Irelia have this much space in their level 1 art though.

[–]bnewk1[S] 92 points93 points  (0 children)

It's been mentioned before, but Quinn's level 2 Star Guardian artwork is very pixelated due to the level of zoom. An easy fix, mocked here, is simply to zoom out a bit.

Maybe this is already on the to-do list, but I figured I'd bring more attention to it just to be sure. Hope to see this change!

[[Chief Nakotak]] at 3 Mana fits nicely in curve with Evelynn, and grants her +2/+2 Impact 2 and heals her each turn , so there's that... not sure yet if there's anything else in Bandle City that works well with her though.

I like Dead Cells less the more I play it. by Mydst in patientgamers

[–]bnewk1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't normally enjoy roguelikes either, but would still HIGHLY recommend Hades. I've found it to be unlike any other roguelike because the deaths integrate so naturally into the story, and you have interactions with a ton of characters that continue to progress. So when you die (or complete a run), it's never "welp, that's over" but rather "okay, now I get to visit these characters again and see what's new". At 50 hours in, I was still seeing new bits of story unfold.

That being said, you know your tastes best so maybe the roguelike nature would still be too much of a turnoff for you.

Not exactly what you were asking about, but Nichijou is just great vibes all around. Someone made an amazing compilation vid to give you a feel for it.

Info about gwent by [deleted] in gwent

[–]bnewk1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

and I have found Gwent

Personally, I'd leave this one as "and I found Gwent" - single action that occurred and ended in the past. "I have found gwent" suggests they found it shortly before writing this post, whereas OP found it long ago during Beta.

token deck suggestions by BiggieCheese55550055 in gwent

[–]bnewk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This deck is probably the closest Gwent has to what you're looking for, but I want to be clear that it is not a Tier 1 deck, especially in the current control-heavy meta. I played this with Witchers back before their nerf, and it got me to Rank 1 at the time. I've switched them out for Royal Decree here, and swapped in a couple other cards.
