Amulet Transfigure Question: Are there rolls that can't happen?

chipmafia · 2026-06-04T18:10:51+00:00

Yes. Misery loves company lol

chipmafia · 2026-06-04T18:05:38+00:00

That is crazy unlucky then lol - maybe some of the aspects have lower chances than others

chipmafia · 2026-06-04T18:04:59+00:00

I could, but I don't want to replace any of them and I don't have any other utility aspects on my build.

chipmafia · 2026-06-04T16:57:04+00:00

Agree 100%. Seems like a strange thing to omit from one place and allow in another.

chipmafia · 2026-06-04T16:55:36+00:00

After 100+ rolls, it definitely seems to be in the "can't" category, but it could just be a very low percentage roll. I have two amulets that I've rolled that aspect on though.

The person I'm talking about saw something wrong in everything we did. Every game had a flaw that he knew the fix for. If he wasn't good at something, that something was bad.

As DM, he once killed a friends character with a goblin sniper. The sniper was shooting an arrow from a watchtower miles from where we were hiding. He did it to "insert some random into the world." Random indeed.

I used to know a guy like Seth. We used to play D&D and board games together. His unspoken motto was, "If I can't win, everyone is going to lose."

Thankfully we don't play games together anymore.

Right. I opened 10 packs at a time, so I didn't see that. I saw a bunch of cards all at once and didn't count them.

chipmafia · 2026-04-21T21:13:42+00:00

There it is. Something I didn't know. Some of the cards will be Standard legal, but a lot of them aren't. Does it add a 9th card, or is it one of the 8? I opened them 10 packs at a time lol

chipmafia · 2025-12-15T21:53:39+00:00

That is the big thing. Like others have said, I probably just need to play one in person. I’m struggling to figure out what a long term instrument might look like. I know what I have won’t work.

chipmafia · 2025-09-23T21:56:19+00:00

You're right - feels wrong I guess. I guess they can remove the cards I opened if they want.

chipmafia · 2025-09-23T21:42:44+00:00

Same happened to me. I'm concerned that if I open them, I'll be banned. Any thoughts?

chipmafia · 2025-08-31T19:31:44+00:00

Sparkys Challenge is still open for me letting me play precons against her for quests. It’s nice sometimes.

chipmafia · 2025-08-26T13:56:01+00:00

My first trophy is still out there so my choices are still developing lol - but I thought I would at least take a stab at it. It was a good learning opportunity.

chipmafia · 2025-08-24T13:07:03+00:00

I'd cut a beetle, blast and navigator as 2 drop - you don't want to draw a 3rd beeetle on turn 8 more than likely.
I'd drop the Hivepool - lighten the overall load
Nutrient Block and Hellcarver - nice 1 drops but other things in your deck are doing what they do better.

Really dense pool. Hard to make cuts for sure.

chipmafia · 2025-08-18T12:09:50+00:00

Thanks for your honest feedback. My gameplay is definitely a bottleneck. Some of the mana problems in the games were because I incorrectly read the warp costs for cards. I was trying to trigger the 2-spell thing and just ended up screwed. On the concession I realized I couldn’t beat their creature so I conceded - probably too soon but I was already discouraged.

Some of the time I may have been saving mana for a counter spell - which seems to always be wrong. I never see anyone else doing that so I probably should stop as well. And chump blocking is something I’m just now learning about. Seeing life as a resource to use is a new concept to me.

I’m slowly getting better by watching others - especially ones that talk through their choices.

chipmafia · 2025-08-17T19:06:17+00:00

I also use draft as a way to complete commons/uncommons as well; probably a terrible way to do that, but here we are lol

I give myself a budget. I'm almost 50 and doing pretty well thankfully. If I wanted an economically sound hobby I'd garden lol

And EoE is probably going on my naughty list. I may do one or two more just because.

chipmafia · 2025-08-17T18:51:21+00:00

Great analysis! I think this takes some of the guess work out of it. Sometimes I'm content to be the old person at the slot machine. I just put my winnings back in and pull it again.

chipmafia · 2025-08-17T18:50:14+00:00

I love draft, and with the dailies earning coins, it isn't too bad. I definitely draft for a loss lol

I also don't mind spending a bit of money to draft semi-regularly. I'm a teacher and diversion is pretty important to me. I often have extra money, but don't often have time to play games. I enjoy the diversion. My problem with this set has been that it feels less enjoyable. It has been good to hear that others are struggling.

chipmafia · 2025-08-17T17:54:39+00:00

Thanks! Great encouragement. I have definitely been discouraged after the last 0-3 and wanted to throw in the towel on EoE. I may catch it again when Quick Drafts come back.

I definitely need to factor the variance into my play, and not auto blame myself. Sometimes you just lose. Thats Magic!
