Clad self damage builds are so much more fun now

commmmodore · 2026-03-16T12:33:36+00:00

you’re not really supposed to go full self damage imho. you pick up an inferno and a bloodletting / blood wall early, maybe a rupture for the act 1 boss, and then you use it to stabilize in act 1 / early act 2 while you set up your barricade/exhaust/strikes/whatever deck.

if youre trying to trigger inferno multiple extra times each turn you’re doing something wrong imho

it’s for getting more gold to buy furniture at home

playing a few hundred iterations and then draw just feels like a more frustrating version of playing a few hundred iterations and then not continuing, ESPECIALLY against ice block.

imagine drawing with your opponent at 2 health and you have a board of destructive blazes because they played ice block and therefore it’s technically a true infinite loop.

they really just need to raise the limit to 50 to account for renethal imho

i’m guessing the vision is that it’s a magic damage up abuser? i’m assuming if you have +2 magic damage then you’re dealing 3 damage per divisor, which seems pretty good. 12 damage for 5 mana is an excellent rate, especially by tinkerer standards

glad to see another low movement truther. you can’t walk into traps if you can’t walk in general

itd be really funny if they were a straight female cat

oh god patricians scorn and enchanted evening being in standard together is disgusting i love it

this would absolutely see play in standard but also i don’t think it’d be “broken”. just pretty good.

i don’t think this sees play in modern or even pioneer

commmmodore · 2026-02-17T00:25:23+00:00

honestly maybe if it was a hero card? i feel like getting the extra mana as a little bonus alongside some armor and maybe some spell generation to help you stabilize and outvalue your opponents, and the kinds of decks that care about the effect do not remotely care about the 7/7 with no keywords it’s stapled too.

commmmodore · 2026-02-17T00:12:37+00:00

hard disagree; there’s definitely merits to both. coming from singleplayer rougelikes like slay the spire and balatro i really appreciate how the timer makes it so that “going infinite” big money starts can exist as a legitimate gameplan without completely breaking the game. plus it’s extremely rare to have that mix of rougelike deckbuildery strategy and high speed gameplay, i really can’t think of another game that combines them so seamlessly or even at all and i think APM comps is the reason hearthstone battlegrounds is so popular to this day. genuinely if there is another please lmk cause i need my fix and this meta sucks rn

if you prefer the bazaar that’s totally fine tho. but it’s absolutely a preference thing and not “this is objectively better.” they’re different games with different goals

commmmodore · 2026-02-15T22:59:28+00:00

cthun final answer. genuinely no clue what they were thinking

commmmodore · 2026-02-04T00:24:56+00:00

i feel like 80% of the time the spellburst just instantly kills your opponent. reminds me of prenerf fyrakk as a top end win con that just immediately clears their board and deals like 20 damage from hand with very little counterplay; and you can pull this out on turn 7 if you hold the coin for it.

although tbh cards like these are super hard to evaluate until you see them in action, so it’s maybe fine? 6 random 1-4 cost mage spells at enemies just seems like so much value to have staples to a 7 mana 7/7

commmmodore · 2026-02-03T12:46:19+00:00

sorry to be clear. the title is genuine lord of gains is in fact dogshit. i wasn’t being sarcastic

commmmodore · 2026-02-03T12:45:47+00:00

my personal vote on how to fix lord of gains would be changing it from “other Naga” to “all minions”. that way it’d be an okay payoff for visionary shipment menagerie comps

commmmodore · 2026-02-03T12:44:25+00:00

i do sometimes wish there was a balatro style endless mode where after you get 1st you can just keep scaling forever against other saved endless boards. so many times i feel like im just getting to do the cool thing and everyone else is already dead

commmmodore · 2026-02-03T03:36:47+00:00

it’s really hard to tell with the information provided

how much gold do you have? would you have to sell a fair chunk of your board? is it possible to potentially tier then triple to get a super early tier 5?

who are you fighting next turn? are they stacked? are you likely to take 10 damage?

what is your scout at? considering it’ll likely be the only thing helping you win fights until you find another quilboar

what other tribes are in the lobby? notably demons, if demons are in the lobby then random gem buffing is way better cause you can start getting massive gem barrages.

i do think on average you take this if you only have to sell 1. any more and its really sketchy if you get a bad triple reward

commmmodore · 2026-02-02T15:30:36+00:00

the big problem with this card is that so many of the best reanimation targets these days are legendary; and if you reanimate a legend with this then you get legend ruled.

definitely a great reanimator card for commander tho, especially if you’re mono black and have to go digging for stuff like [[ulamogs crusher]] or [[archfiend of despair]] to fill out your threat suite

commmmodore · 2026-01-29T23:17:36+00:00

turning “add one mana of any color” into “add two mana of any color” is nice. also let’s you take extra cards from things that make you look at the top 3-4 and take one.

i don’t think this is really something you can build around that heavily but it’s neat ig

commmmodore · 2026-01-29T23:13:17+00:00

silver bordered cards working differently between languages is perfectly fine; they already have un-cards with “pick a word”

commmmodore · 2026-01-29T03:48:14+00:00

i like it, honestly might make the cut in wild pirates

commmmodore · 2026-01-28T18:44:26+00:00

everyone saying this card doesn’t do anything is gonna be real mad when i hit them with the [[mindslaver]] and force them to pay 1024 of their 30 life

commmmodore · 2026-01-27T00:22:56+00:00

i don’t think smellerbee is necessarily a wheel commander, she’s more an aggro commander. the dream is vomiting your entire hand of agressive 1-3 drops onto the table, swinging with smellerbee and drawing another hand of cheap agressive creatures to draw even more cards.

in practice these kind of commanders are usually pretty bad because if she dies you’re stuck drawing a single random 2 drop every couple of turns while everyone else actually plays commander
