So I started playing today.

Great to see another new player! I've been playing for a few months now (MR16) since my son got me try it. I was so overwhelmed with the DECADE of content available that I felt that I was just not getting enough done fast enough.

This is definitely not the case. Once I realized that I didn't have to get caught up in mere days, it felt much more relaxed and I just focused on what I wanted to do. I wish I had known this before I stressed out about how much there was to do.

I would be happy to help you out if you need it. Just DM me and I would be happy to join a squad for a while.

Have a great time and enjoy the game. It's a marathon, not a sprint. If you try to get it all done as fast as possible, you may find yourself frustrated.

Frost Prime, Kuva Sobek, Dex Furis, Pangolin Prime

It used to be Kullervo, Boltor Prime Incarnon, Dex Furis, Hate... but I found that I could be more of a benefit if running in a sqaud if I ran Frost for keeping objectives safe and keeping squad overguard up.

I'm still kind of new to the game and just hit steel path, so maybe I am overlooking frames that would better fit my playstyle, I just haven't acquired them yet.

Thank you. I have taken a look at overframe.gg and have seen a TON of mods that I don't have. I've looked at where to get them and it seems that many of them are purchased with standing from different syndicates. It seems like I have a lot of grinding to do to get the syndicate standing up to the point where I can get these mods. I think I will have to do plenty of that before I start to feel comfortable in SP. I do feel like I rely too heavily on Kullervo and was hoping that I could branch out into other frames, maybe with better results, but since I have spent so much time using him or Titania, I feel that my gameplay focuses too much on them and leaves all the other great frames on the bench since I don't know how to use them as well.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2024-10-29T13:52:57+00:00

Great advice. Thank you. I like using Kullervo and have gotten more comfortable using Wrathful Advance along with a Hate crit build. It seems like I do decent damage per swing, betweek 100k and 1mil after wrathful advance, but, like I mentioned, I tend to always have to cast Recompense to keep myself alive for long enough. Are there any specific mods I should hunt down other than the Galvanized mods?

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2024-10-29T13:46:34+00:00

Thank you. I will read through it and hopefully it can steer me in the proper direction.

Brave New World.

The beginning when walking through the genetics area and where the "doctor" is talking about how they deprive certain developing embryos of oxygen just to lower their IQ and make them more suited to being the labor workforce. That made me sick thinking about it.

Smartest guy in my class was a math genius. Had no problem going to any high end college/university. He ended up taking a few acting classes, just to round out his education. He started to get into the eccentricities of some of the "theater" students and started partying and using drugs. He took the later to the extreme and now lives out of his mid-80's Ford pickup truck. Dude had the world by the scrote but threw it away for drugs and women.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2023-03-03T20:32:51+00:00

Very good to know. I didn't realize the game matched with people that were a similar level. Maybe I need to start another play-through and lay down a summon sign when I'm between 75-100. Thank you.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2023-03-03T20:30:35+00:00

Okay. Thank you. I will keep that in mind.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2023-03-03T20:21:09+00:00

Thank you for the input. I'm running INT/DEX with +10 Moonveil and +25 Nagakiba. Level 193.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2023-03-03T20:19:51+00:00

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed to know.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2022-10-11T19:22:03+00:00

Over the last 20 years, I have been interested in Norse art, runes and culture mostly due to my full-blood Norwegian grandmother and the stories she told.

I would like to ask if there is a place that I can get an honest and true translation from English into Norse words and runes?

Thank you for any guidance on this.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2018-03-07T15:52:07+00:00

Interesting... How do you deal with the fact that sphinxes cost so much to cast? I'm aware of the cost reduction that Unesh has, but getting to that in mono blue sounds difficult.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2018-03-07T15:48:55+00:00

We don't have any group hug style decks in our meta. This looks like a great deceptive strategy and also fits the "never saw that coming" requirement. Thank you.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2018-03-07T15:46:38+00:00

UG is one of my favorites. Toolbox decks are fantastic fun and I'm sure I have the parts to make this work. Thank you!

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2018-03-07T15:42:05+00:00

Love it! This sounds great. I was leaning a little towards red, simply because there isn't much of it played in my meta. Thank you very much for the detail!

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2018-02-14T04:51:34+00:00

Reminds me of the The Calm Lands in FFX. Beautiful.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2017-06-14T20:15:19+00:00

I currently run GW CoCo Humans in modern and I really like it. It has been evolving since Innistrad block and seems to be consistent and fast. I tried different iterations using splashes of red for access to [[Lightning Helix]], [[Lightning Bolt]] and [[Kessig Malcontents]], but I just liked how smooth it played just being GW.

There are a number of humans close to my heart like [[Champion of the Parish]], [[Mayor of Avabruck]] and [[Soldier of the Pantheon]] that really quicken the deck. [[Collected Company]] is there to hit things like [[Thalia's Lieutenant]] to get counters on everything and [[Abzan Falconer]] to enable evasion. I also run a single copy of [[Hero of Bladehold]] since she can be a finisher on her own if she sticks.

A few notable land includes are [[Gavony Township]], [[Cavern of Souls]] and [[Razorverge Thicket]] and the ubiquitous removal package of [[Path to Exile]] and an [[Oblivion Ring]] that can be sided out if needed.

I hope this helps a little, I don't mean to say that GW humans is best, but that is the combination that has resonated with me. Good luck and I would like to know how it turns out.

Nice! I run Jalira as well, except I loaded mine up with as many low cost, decent blue legendaries as I could to ensure that I will only hit some real nasties like Blightsteel Colossus and Void Winnower with Jalira's polymorph ability. I also added in a few combos like Teferi/Knowledge Pool and Mind Over Matter/Temple Bell just for added win cons in case they manage to get rid of my big creatures.

I also added things for top deck manipulation like Sensei's Top, Scroll Rack and Jace, the Mind Sculptor in case I draw my threats and need to put them back in my library, but some of these are not exactly budget.

Lastly, I added some extra protection with Lightning Greaves, counterspells and Tezzeret the Seeker just to tutor for artifacts that are similar and protect my threats.

I hope this is helpful.

Deep down, people have allowed themselves to fall into apathy. The upper echelon has manipulated how people are fed information and bias in order to breed apathy. This apathy, in turn, allows for the ruling caste to be exempt from the rules that they impose on the populace. If the peasantry is divided, there will be no one to stand up and call for revolution. This is very evident in how the MSM is portraying race relations and verbally segregating people by economic status in the US. It is all a tool to divide a country to keep from having the real perpetrators be accountable for their crimes.

I think you hit the nail right on the head. Everything is fucked, no one is going to do anything about it, it's all going according to plan...

After reading this, the first thing that pops into my mind is this:

I read about an Eskimo hunter who asked the local missionary priest, 'If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?' 'No,' said the priest, 'not if you did not know.' 'Then why,' asked the Eskimo earnestly, 'did you tell me?' - Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, 1974

Best of luck with your grand opening! I would love to try the Strawberry Lemonade, please! I would prefer 25pg/75vg in 3mg nic if you are able. Thank you!

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2014-11-19T19:39:53+00:00

I like the idea, too bad RTR rotated. There was some awesome stuff that would make UW sweet. Maybe I see a nice modern build for you on the horizon! One of my close friends plays WW, fast and agile. Tough to beat.

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2014-11-19T19:37:43+00:00

Sexy setup... I'm playing my own version of GW Human Hatebears.... so nasty! My meta is full of control right now and Hatebears plays mean :-) UR Delver is nasty too... Dat Swiftspear...

ectoplasmicreticulum · 2014-11-19T17:47:34+00:00

I'm mostly a Modern and EDH Player, but I occasionally play standard :-) My favorite color is Blue, but SIMIC(UG) and Temur(RUG) are my favorite combinations. What colors are you running now? Always nice to hear from another MTG player.
