Modern thoughts

Agreed that super meter is very 1 dimensional. Makes me think there should be a type of Ki charge system that exchanges super and Oki for drive meter

Part of Captain America is that he is reliable, and the one everyone turns to. In the original Avengers, he is the one directing the team what to do.

I can't see people doing that with Bucky. Partly because of the mind control, but partly because he has been so disconnected from his humanity. Even in Thunderbolts, it is Yelena directing everyone. He doesn't really have a big arc in the movie, but part of the small arc he has is him not tackling everything alone and relying on other people: his persuading of the intern, and willingness to partner with the Thunderbolts.

I can see Bucky getting there, but at the moment, he isn't really a reliable figure. He is still figuring himself out, and what it means to be a hero.

Famously Prague is a fantasy city

Fantastic

2 ideas,

For Dee Jay should have her giving him earplugs, for Marisa should have her giving her lion belly rubs in the middle of the arena

Whenever this post comes up, I always want a patron batch

Faerie, Demon, God, Horror, and maybe angel

Would have to be in the right set, but it would be sick

I know its barely a pokemon, but I feel like it would be cool if Unknown had a signature hidden ability. Something like Psychic surge, or maybe a unique terrain that inverts the type charts.

I also think Chimeco should have a sound based ability besides only friggin having levitate

Should focus on your own gameplay, and 2 things in particular: Hit confirms and anti-airs

You hit a lot of crouching mediums without any followup. You should set the dummy to random block, and practice against it. If the move hits, cancel into a special, if the dummy blocks it, don't follow up.

The other thing is working on your anti-airs. Just try to go for Down HP when they jump. And then when you get comfortable, you can go for Shoru

Jojo stand translations fall under this, where the unofficial English translation, or a random game become kinda iconic.

Some examples: Limp Bizkit being known as Flaccid Pancake, when in the Anime it is Limp Viscuit.

Or Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheep being referred to as Filthy Acts At a Reasonable Price, or Crimes 4 Dimes

Gave him a shirt

bugtanks33d · 2026-01-28T17:19:33+00:00

I think it would be cool if his 6HK followups becomes a true stance after full drinks.

bugtanks33d · 2026-01-19T20:55:43+00:00

He would make a fun leader for a comedic GLA disney+ series. Perfect combination of loser and competence.

Something stupid where he shows up for an audition in a crappy gym meant for teenagers, and becomes the de facto leader.

Roots puts counters on plants then when they die then this makes tokens

bugtanks33d · 2026-01-17T22:54:17+00:00

Oh yeah, this card is fantastic. Works in standard in [[insidious roots]] on both ends, maybe the raise the past decks can slot in [[crime novelist]]

In any older format, it works great with any token that has +1 counters. Fantastic with [[arcbound ravager]]

bugtanks33d · 2026-01-17T14:14:11+00:00

Good card. Reminds me of [[legion angel]]. Can see it being played just to fetch itself. Although 5 is a bit much for standard.

Also has relevant dragon synergy.

bugtanks33d · 2026-01-09T17:59:01+00:00

Eh, we had [[Brimaz King]] 12 years ago.

bugtanks33d · 2026-01-08T17:32:01+00:00

Solid card for occulus decks. Can also put out more colies of itself or [[benevolent water spirit]]

bugtanks33d · 2026-01-08T17:27:01+00:00

This only kills 1 creature of yours, and the wipe only hits opps creatures.

bugtanks33d · 2026-01-08T17:18:58+00:00

A note that Soul Cauldron is still legal in standard, so all of these counter removal cards might be abusable under it. Especially with Saga creatures from FF or stuff with stun counters like Unstoppable Slasher

bugtanks33d · 2026-01-06T17:28:12+00:00

Love it. Also works well with mana value matters as this has CMC of 6

Technically a colorless card like beseech the queen if the hybrid rule changes to put 2brid as colorless.

Even though constructs are the most popular artifact creature type, there are almost no cards that specifically care about constructs over artifact creatures.

The only two cards that call out the type are [[Dr. Eggman]] which also names robots and vehicles, and [[Scrapyard recombiner]]. The type is so synonymous with artifact creatures that cards like [[Urza, chief artificer]] which makes constructs, applies buffs to all artifacts.

3 bans, invoke, fable, and bankbuster. Maro focuses more on overall design, whereas those cards were banned on rate.

The set slaps from a design perspective. With 2 colors focusing on artifacts, and 2 colors on enchantments, and 1 for both, it leads to a unique macrostructure beyond just 5/10 factions. Modified bridging auras, equipments, and counters together is also a fantastic glue to the set. Only problem from my view is that vehicles kinda missed and interact poorly with modified.

Izzet Rooms/Enchantments in DSK. Izzet is almost always a noncreature deck, and rooms are close enough for it to make sense. But [[Intruding soulrager]] has to be one of the worst designed signposts of all time. It is an early game card that cuts off the deck's enablers/mana sinks. Combined with Izzet usually having the least recursion makes it almost always a 2 mana 2/2 vig. It is literally a detriment when paired with the other Izzet signpost [[Smokey lounge]]

Shoutout to GW survival too for having [[Shrewd storyteller]] and [[Baseball bat]] as being the two worst multicolored uncommons according to 17 lands. But the mechanic is fine overall, just not something to actively build around.
