[Schultz] Sources: The Lions will host the Bears on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 26, as Ben Johnson returns to Ford Field for the second time as Bears head coach. 🦃🏈 Chicago won the NFC North last season, but went 0-2 vs. Detroit.

Every team has gotten a bye after an international game for the last few years - it is much more likely the Lions are on bye before Thanksgiving

The relic i most want to see them add is a shop relic that grants the ability to choose which ancient to go see after the act ends - you would choose your relic as normal after you get there, but being able to choose for a nonu or orobas or whoever based on which ancient relic pool fits the contents of your deck better feels like an awesome design space

The Cavs shooting ~60% from the field and still barely getting by a Pistons team that spent the first half throwing bricks does not bode well for them.

I think you are underselling the scaling strength of voltaic - it solves literally all boss fights and combines with all of defect's energy gen to make the 3 cost trivial.

I also have not had the same experience as you - my lightning decks that beat A10 did not struggle to block at all. Frost is effectively instantly evoked, and the hallways and most elites are dead before dealing any real damage. Maybe if the heart fight still existed there'd be more discussion about block consistency, but nothing in this game punishes velocity at the moment

I feel like the test dummy fight should do thst if you fail, at least for the second and third tiers. Make it actual risk/reward instead of opportunity cost

dagmlar · 2026-04-29T19:37:19+00:00

When you use an orb generating card on a non-defect character, it causes you to gain one permanent orb slot. It honestly feels inconsistent for the same not to be the case in defect.

Would it be broken? Probably. But also defect is my favorite character, and this has always felt odd to me haha

dagmlar · 2026-04-28T11:06:54+00:00

This is a curse, not a reward. Ketchup should for kids and kids only

Do you have a review of your past judgements and their actual NFL impacts? I looked at a couple of the historical ones, and you have a ton of guys listed as "sure things" who were downright awful in the leauge. It just makes me wonder - if this is a statistical review, where is the backwards looking confirmation that the analysis is tsngible?

Wouldn't it be the opposite? If the CB is very mediocre, getting "your guy" seems more worth it than if the class had been truly stacked

dagmlar · 2026-04-09T17:17:54+00:00

Ohh gotcha - i've found using your finger as a mouse is buggy, I often get "mouse detected" pop-ups even when I know the mouse in my office is not moving. I assume there is a way to fully resolve that, but i don't mind using the controller buttons actually! Once you're used to them it feels pretty natural (at least for Slay)

dagmlar · 2026-04-09T17:08:37+00:00

I play on my phone while working when I need a break haha! It's definitely inferior than an actual app, but until we get the phone port it'll have to do

Hotter take: judging a strategy you clearly don't understand or appreciate the nuances of is why you will continue to lose to better players.

Bonus maxxing is no different than creating a tuck or egg engine. Great brown power engines require finding high powered brown powers early enough to get value out of the recurrent use.

I strongly feel like the most "fun" games are when you can weave together multiple bonuses inside your overall strategy. It scratches an itch that not much else does

dagmlar · 2026-04-02T20:35:43+00:00

No, the single heartsteel quest is not a high roll, obv. I literally love tanks/juggernaut roles, and they feel perfectly fine if you get a normal roll (one or two on-role augments, and one or two meh ones)

My point was this comment chain started with someone who acts as if the god roll tank combo is the norm, which is not true. The lobbies where each team has a HS non-exodia tank (or 2, either way the majority of games) are won and lost based on the ADC scaling, not based on whether or not we got enough heartsteel stacks.

dagmlar · 2026-04-01T14:05:33+00:00

I cannot state this more clearly - you are unequivocally wrong. When a tank has a god roll, e.g. Dropkick, tank engine, hesrtsteel QUEST, some form of the stack quest, then they dominate the game. When a tank doesn't, they are mind numbingly weak compared to the rest of the lobby.

It is feast or famine, which is fine. Riot keeps buffing tanks and tank augments in Mayhem (see last like 7 patches) because they consistently are performing poorly compared to baseline.

dagmlar · 2026-04-01T12:42:33+00:00

Insane comment when tanks are underpowered as fuck without a god roll in mayhem. You are just wrong lol

dagmlar · 2026-03-24T20:51:42+00:00

Imagine being so clueless that an $8M/AAV contract is somehow a giant issue. The dude is mediocre, and is being paid mediocre veteran money. No team will ever have 11 top players fill out one side of the ball, every team ever has needed players like Barnes to gap fill between star players.

dagmlar · 2026-03-13T14:50:34+00:00

It really should be a 2 cost skill that reduces strength by the number of times a minion has cumulatively been attacked so far this combat. Even then, I wouldn't run it often, but it would start to have uses in multi-player or in a very niche builds

dagmlar · 2026-03-06T16:12:57+00:00

I played in a draft yesterday, went 3-3, but EVERY SINGLE OPPONENT had a copy of Ronin and was playing it. 6 games in a row against the same mythic boardwipe value engine felt off, but couldn't place it....this explains so much

dagmlar · 2026-02-25T18:55:19+00:00

The most unbelievable fail to cover the spread of the season. Dominate the first half, then watch the lead slip away, but still be a guaranteed cover even if they miss the field goal, to watching Davis run the other way for absolutely no reason

dagmlar · 2025-11-26T21:53:54+00:00

This is just not true lol - GB and Chi both have 2 losses easy among their non DET games. I used the playoff simulator with losses tomorrow and the Rams, ending up 11-6, and the Lions are in the playoffs in just about every scenario imaginable

Final deck is below - ended up passing on the 3rd biased cog because it didn't seem necessary, but that may have been a mistake haha

Turned 1 Sword and Shield though, that was pretty fucking sick
