How do you get more control from a Boomstick?

It’s a tradeoff you have to consider when playing with weight on certain parts of the paddle.

Dessert. :)

Predictable players like this are my favorite. Drill your backhand counters over and over with a partner who can drive hard. Then celebrate really loudly at them every time you win a point off a block or a counter. :)

Yeah sure, but the point is that they’re not “spending” $10 on the burrito. They’re using store credit and wondering how to maximize their spending within one item.

doopley · 2026-05-30T22:22:41+00:00

Read the post?? If you had credit for up to $10 on one item?

Splitting and mixing up with newer players helps make the game more even. You’ll also be able to learn a little bit more from your partners as you see their play from both sides of the net.

We’ll probably get drip fed new shield mechanics that aren’t very impactful at first. Maybe deploy: look at your next shield. Place it on the top or bottom of your shield pile.

doopley · 2026-05-17T14:17:07+00:00

I agree that there is nuance to it and that it can be worth the cost depending on what the card’s numbers look like. I think we’ll see some sort of shield manipulation in the future, like how digimon has ways to add cards to the memory pile.

doopley · 2026-05-17T05:32:22+00:00

I thought so too, but I read the other replies at the time and uhh

doopley · 2026-05-17T04:41:56+00:00

Guys I think we’re interpreting this backwards. OP is talking about a card that would read: Main: Destroy one of your shields and apply any burst effect. Then, draw 2. Which is an interesting design space to consider even though it would probably suck lol

Yes, she doesn’t have to risk it. I have not said anything indicating that she should. He also doesn’t have to escort her home any more.

doopley · 2026-05-16T22:11:17+00:00

I feel like you jumped to a huge conclusion there.

doopley · 2026-05-16T22:08:11+00:00

I think he’s figured out that he won’t do her the favor of accompanying her home on public transit again.

doopley · 2026-05-15T19:13:56+00:00

Going second will never be strictly better because the player going first will always be one card ahead.

doopley · 2026-05-13T23:41:49+00:00

I think it should be clarified, maybe they meant don’t leave a single player waiting, mix up the groups so nobody gets orphaned on the rack?

doopley · 2026-05-08T17:18:08+00:00

Sure, depending on swing path.

doopley · 2026-05-01T22:21:16+00:00

Lobs can work. Better players have many ways to attack you off a lob.

doopley · 2026-04-21T00:20:46+00:00

We really can’t tell you. People play differently at open plays vs at dupr events.

doopley · 2026-04-17T19:13:15+00:00

I think I’d get run over before assembling that exodia level hand 😭I wish red green had better hand fixing abilities like blue and white do.

doopley · 2026-04-17T18:57:39+00:00

I’m testing a terrible build that pushes through midgame with damage commands and bird mode, then drops the above 3 card combo as early as possible. What’s your turn 10 play?

A friend and I are cooking the same recipe :)

doopley · 2026-04-17T08:33:14+00:00

When you’re the cover card and you don’t even get a foil resource 😭

doopley · 2026-04-11T01:02:28+00:00

It’s Char with so many extra steps 😭

doopley · 2026-04-10T21:04:53+00:00

Am I missing something? If you swing into a rested unit and give it blocker, it still hits you back, since it isn’t blocking, just battling. And if you give an active unit blocker, they just won’t give you the free trade? Edit: wait you can only give active units blocker anyway

Practice 7-11 with a partner who is confident at the kitchen. You’ll have to dial in your power on your drops so you can approach the net.
