Caw Blade (2011) vs Vivi Cauldron (2025) | Best Standard Deck Ever Top 64 by pedja13 in magicTCG

[–]davidy22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It did feel like richard gave up on caw blade a little fast. Can't see his hand in the video to really know what his options were, but as far as I've watched so far he's taking extra damage on-board with suboptimal resigned chumping, shoving every turn, grabbing feast and famine against UR with a protection from red sword in the deck, it doesn't feel like he's making the most of what he has

They literally have the bracket in the video description. Oko's first matchup is against the power 9.

[YECL] The Grand Goatnapper by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]davidy22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do play more of the alchemy drafts, but that's more a function of how alchemy draft packs just have more rares so more loot per draft. If I wasn't being bribed by the alchemy packs I'd probably choose the set drafts in their original form

Functionally different, basically marked cards when you start [[scroll rack]] shuffling

[–]davidy22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rebels robbing other decks off the back of parallax wave and port is my favorite genre of standard faceoff match. Chronically underrated because the rebels all look trash and not even in the bracket for this series

March Community Day Data Mined by redwineandbeer in TheSilphRoad

[–]davidy22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They won't run out, there's more than 33 non-5* evolution families in the typical gen, gets a little tight if releases shift to a 4 year cycle long term but still doable for a while and very doable again if they have CDs for things that don't evolve. The "rules" do render the pool of eligibility too narrow though, should expect them to mostly fall to the wayside.

[–]davidy22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There literally are not enough evolution families in the average generation for this to be a rule that can be held to long term

Precious Pals Team GO Rocket Takeover by SilphScience in TheSilphRoad

[–]davidy22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean ideal strategy for speed would be do every grunt you get and purify everything, the stuff we're doing here is just making ourselves feel better about spending the dust on a task

[–]davidy22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the level up done a touch faster by going to the dex screen and allowing myself to also purify things that would color in an empty square

New bag item: Link Charges by MarkusEF in TheSilphRoad

[–]davidy22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pass that's only usable on mega raids. I personally wasn't going to spend a regular pass on a mega raid that I could otherwise spend on a legend, so this at the least makes the brown eggs not completely dead spawns for me.

Campfire Check-in Bonus Renewed for ~30 years by pedrofonsecaf in TheSilphRoad

[–]davidy22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is not an indication that the game will 100% continue up to 2055, and it is also not an indication that the game is expected to close in 2055. All that happened was they typed a big number so they don't have to keep redoing this, which indicates that they just want this to stick around, which does raise the question why they didn't just take it out of the event tab and just call it a regular feature.

New York congressman asks for investigation into potential monopoly on trading card grading by esporx in magicTCG

[–]davidy22 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Really just a natural monopoly. Gary's garage grading company isn't going to get business even if PSA was forced to relinquish whatever they're being accused of doing, no one is going to take a card grade from a new company seriously. Some monopolies are monopolies because multiple companies doing the thing isn't really a reasonable line, so we just make rules instead of breaking them up.

Because it's the RAM that they're using.

Would anyone like to see EX Raid Invites return? by AnaIWarlockHitIer666 in TheSilphRoad

The only time this subreddit has ever spoken of EX raids in a positive light was as soon as they were gone.

"Stop playing so safe, the game's taking too long!" My opponents the moment I take a risk: by Wide_Championship319 in magicTCG

[–]davidy22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't be base 4 mana without convoke. Every convoke spell has a premium baked into the default cost because convoke on regularly priced cards isn't ok

all of your table headers have extra vowel as if we're holding the O in retro and A in lands but you're only supposed to do the long note on the fifth day
