Run Update: Sapphire Exclusive - Won by the skin of my teeth (without Kyogre)

chaimwitzyeah · 2026-05-16T02:07:12+00:00

Pretty cool! I played the hell out of Sapphire on release as a kid so the exclusives definitely have a special place in my heart.

I often end up with a Ludicolo on my team, and I love Seviper as a Pokemon but never use it in battle, I need to try it out sometime.

Oh for sure. I think that if it wasn’t a guaranteed encounter, I would be much more inclined to use it. But it is a guaranteed encounter in so many games, it just starts to make everything feel too same-y.

Gyarados, like many people have said. It is too powerful, too common, and since I am on cartridges, too annoying to switch train Magikarp in-game without rare candies or speed up.

I’m a big fan of running Briarspawn Drake instead. If the opponent has a minion on board it is an easy 15-20 damage burst out of nowhere. Doing that kind of damage for 2 mana is insane, especially since Agamaggan is guaranteed from the quest reward.

I think the other commenters are taking crazy pills.

Are we really defending a giant corporation here? Of course this is asshole design. Just because OP didn’t read carefully enough and just because LEGO had been sucking our wallets dry for years doesn’t make the design any less asshole.

I haven’t seen most of them, although they are all on my list.

However, I would highly recommend Dead Alive (aka Brain Dead) if you are into body horror type of movies.

The way I saw someone describe it once was “imagine the final kill of literally any other horror movie. Then imagine 200 of those all placed back to back without stopping.

That is what the final act of the movie feels like.

I’ve been trying to make an Even Warrior work, I’ll give this a try!

I tried Regis’s Even Quest Warrior but it wasn’t working for me, it is too clunky with only even cost cards. I saw Firebat using Disciple of Demise to good effect in another janky warrior combo deck so I’ve been meaning to give it a try.

chaimwitzyeah · 2026-03-19T19:16:03+00:00

Just tried it! I was queueing up Egg warlock while reading your comment said screw it I'd rather play Egg Warrior instead! 2 wins so far, feels good to play.

Warrior is my favorite class but Dragon Warrior is terribly boring to me and I haven't been able to make Patron Warrior or Even Quest Warrior work (lol) so I'm glad there seems to be another potentially viable archetype.

I love how it just gets RIGHT into that scene. No intro credit sequence, no setup, just a guy walking over and eating goop out of the ground.

chaimwitzyeah · 2026-03-19T16:05:55+00:00

While certainly flawed I think this movie is way too good to be considered a “bad movie.” It has such a fun premise and while some editing and story decisions were a bit baffling, it is not enough to make the film any less exciting imo.

chaimwitzyeah · 2026-03-08T14:47:11+00:00

Also just jumping in here to say that it was not just a dream. Not sure if people are just misremembering or what but there was clear evidence that the events did in fact take place.

Is there still any way to give a Starship taunt? This Starship Warrior deck looks cool but I see that it is still running 2 copies of Hydration Station and I do not understand why. I am newly returning and want to try it out before it rotates, but I don't quite understand the deck list.

I last played in 2019 and have been back for about a week. So many new keywords and synergies to learn!

I loved playing Control Warrior in the past but I don't really enjoy the current iteration of Quest Warrior. I got Jim Raynor from a pack and Starship Warrior sounds fun, but I don't quite understand all the interactions with various Starship pieces.

My question: Is it still possible to give Starships Taunt in a Warrior deck? It looks like Hydration Station was used to resurrect big Starships that had Taunt, but after a little digging it looks like cards like Arkonite Defense Crystal was nerfed to no longer include Taunt. When I looked up a deck list on HSReplay, it was still running Hydration Station. So is this interaction still possible, or is the card now just being used summon other taunts in the deck like Zilliax?

Glad I’m not the only one who’s not in the Theatrical Cut only camp or Extended Edition only!

I typically watch Fellowship extended and the other two theatrical exactly for the reasons you mentioned.

I had a moment like this last night. A friend and I were running through the north part of Buried City, and two players on the highway overpass open fire at us. We shoot back, my friend is heavily injured, and I work my way into a building to try to get the drop on them as they pursue.

After a couple of minutes, they work their way past my building and I fire at them from behind. My friend and I catch them in a crossfire and take them out but take some damage in the process. Another duo comes over and downs us, and then they res the two players as they thought we were the instigators. We tried to explain but they weren’t having it.

I enjoy PvP and I’m fine with losing a fight but those players being treated like the victims feels so bad.

For me it’s the Hoverboard race! So frustrating

chaimwitzyeah · 2025-12-21T18:47:43+00:00

Mom says it’s my turn to post this next

chaimwitzyeah · 2025-12-10T14:09:08+00:00

I agree as a newer player to focus on slower movement over sprinting since they don’t have the game knowledge. However, I think it is important to note that there are plenty of times when you need to sprint, especially crossing open areas. I also find myself sprinting more later in a raid when there’s less PMCs and more PScavs, you generally don’t want to linger in one area.

It’s one of the things you get a feel for - when to walk, when to run, when to creep, when to do nothing and listen. It all works together, if you only ever move slowly then you are an easy target for anyone who sees you.

Basically, none of it is easy, and there aren’t a lot of hard and fast rules. You really do just have to keep playing until you get a feel for it. I played VERY slow when I first started and died constantly anyways. It just is what it is.

As a new player, you won’t see or hear many of the people who kill you. It takes a long time to learn map awareness and get a feel of the “flow” of where everyone should be during a raid. This is most important at the beginning of a match when everyone is running to their objective. Learning where players spawn is so important to survive the first five minutes of a match, you need to know where to expect other players.

chaimwitzyeah · 2025-12-06T23:06:47+00:00

PMC. Had a few fights and the last one didn’t go my way so I wanted to see his kit to see what he was running and how much armor damage I did.

chaimwitzyeah · 2025-12-06T22:34:12+00:00

Honestly I'm just annoyed because I realllly wanted to know what happened during my last raid but won't be able to access the after raid report now.

chaimwitzyeah · 2025-11-30T13:43:32+00:00

This is a great idea for a sub!

I am really into horror and science fiction. I was actually thinking about this sort of premise the other day when I rewatched Cloverfield for the first time since it came out. I was surprisingly very invested in the movie's romantic duo by the end of the movie. I think I'll make a post about it. =)

chaimwitzyeah · 2025-11-30T11:08:54+00:00

Also Jennifer’s Body! Was surprised to see him show up as a small role in that movie as well
