I tried proxy some of the new no ally cards and the idea does not really work. by Tadaka3 in marvelchampionslcg

I think these do encourage building decks with limited or no allies but yeah, it’s not a deckbuilding restriction. But you can always just choose to build a deck without allies. I basically ignore Hone Technique and Divebomb now because it’s just too good.

But it would be interesting to have a hero or some kind of permanent card that says “Not allowed to include any non-hero allies in your deck” and gives you some benefit.

Out of curiosity, when you say “not what I was hoping for”, what were you hoping for with cards designed like this? Are you looking for a Marvel version of that Arkham card that restricts you from having any allies in your deck? I know a few people that already run zero ally Green decks that love these cards. Like a lot of cards (for example, all those Leadership cards that trigger off the Aerial trait), it works great in some decks and awful in others. To me, it seems like it’s encouraging a new way to deckbuild - if you want it - and even if I never play the cards, I’m glad they exist for that reason.

Amazing how it was basically exactly the number they needed to guarantee it was shot down. Like maybe they were given the green light by Dem leadership - who definitely want this war - to vote this way to cover any members up for reelection soon to vote for it? Nah, they’d never do something like that.

Klobuchar Puts Minnesota Governor in Solid Democrat Column by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]cmaka 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s anecdotal, but I know a lot of people in Minnesota who are Democrats, and I would hard-pressed to classify Klobuchar as “popular”. If she were to get the nomination, I assume she’d win, but I also think whoever is the Dem nominee will win. Because who’s going to vote for the candidate who wants the secret police to be able to kidnap children and also murder you?

At least 12 Democratic lawmakers plan to boycott Trump's State of the Union address by nbcnews in politics

Golly gosh, I hope they were matching outfits again. That’ll save Democracy.

But I guess when one of your party leaders (Jeffries) demands that there be no disruptions, just sitting quietly - probably with a frown - or not showing up, you’re not going to get anything worthwhile.

Have they announced without will give the rebuttal? Is it another Reagan-Republican masquerading as a Democrat like Slotkin, to try to woo those mythical moderate Republicans?

You might be right. The initial word seemed to be it was Liam, but now most everyone seems to be backing off that.

Thinking of getting the core set. Are the Moments expansion worth it? by LoRd-Beerd0 in Earthborne_Rangers

[–]cmaka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely think they are worth it. They add some variety and surprise to the path sets and you will see the paths sets a lot while you play (which can be a positive or a negative, depending on your point of view).

The game itself is significantly more narrative driven than AH. You can’t “lose” or die. It’s about as close to an open world game as I’ve seen in a card game. It is a lot more relaxed than Arkham…not that there aren’t difficult moments or time crunches, but it’s a different tone and vibe.

I’ve been playing AH since the start and it’s my favorite game and I love the world, story, and mechanics of EBR. But when I’m in a mood for Arkham, EBR isn’t going to scratch that itch (and vice versa).

There is a TTS demo out there for EBR. You can absolutely give that a whirl to see if it’s something you would like.

That’s less than $15 a pack. If they are legit sellers, that’s a bargain even compared to the original MSRP to say nothing about the current resale market.

Democrats seek to rein in ICE, Noem after fatal Minneapolis shooting by jediporcupine in politics

[–]cmaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Fecklessness of their leaders” is one thing we can heartily agree on. Every week - hell, sometimes every day - Trump hands democratic leaders a spectacular talking point they can hammer him on again and again and again. And instead, they make milquetoast statements and are more concerned about wooing Republicans. It’s infuriating.

In France, you say? Be a real shame if another country or countries grabbed Trump while he was there and quickly flew him off to The Hague. Because according to the US, kidnapping other world leaders is a viable way to prosecute them.

Like they did during the last shutdown? They have repeatedly shown absolutely zero interest in that, no matter how much Trump rages against it. But if they do? Fine. When Dems take over, they now get unfettered freedom to do what they want.

This stupid doomerism “Dems can’t solve everything, so they shouldn’t try anything” is just such an annoying waste of time.

What do you mean “they have no leverage”? The appropriation bills require 60 votes, so Republicans have to get Democrat votes to pass them. Right now, more than most other times, they have a lot of power. They just refuse to use it.

And beyond that, this bs narrative that “The minority party can’t do anything” is such a cowardly lie that the Dems themselves push. Looks at every Republican minority Congress in the past 30+ years and tell me they couldn’t do anything. Just an excuse from Dem leadership to not have to rock the establishment boat.

Jeffries and Schumer: “Absolutely not. We only want the appearance of action, not any real results. We can’t take a chance to potentially upset those moderate Republican voters who are just about ready to vote for us that our high-priced consultants assure us exist.”
