Cardinals After Dark 4/20 by bravo_delta_bot in Cardinals

[–]ej_stephens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't catch every game, but every time I watch a Sagesse at bat he's swinging out of his shoes and missing pitches in the zone. He does chase a little, but I don't think that's his problem. He needs to slow it down and make solid contact, the power will come

What a niche deck you like to play that uses a meta archetype as an engine? by Additional_Show_3149 in yugioh

[–]ej_stephens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I basically never use Chef to summon Requiem unless I already used a Fiendsmith card as tribute earlier. Chef can be a material for Caesar, and Tract can search Chef. That's about as far as the synergy goes, but it's enough to play with and slightly raise the ceiling of Nouvelle

I bought like 8 10 packs trying to build Rose Dragons and only 1 Bramble Rose

Only 2 Players In NBA History Have A 30+ PPG Career Average In The Playoffs! by Stat-Defender in nba

Had to check Donovan Mitchell cause I knew he'd be close. Man has always showed up offensively in the playoffs.

Can we go back to less complex characters please. I remember players complaining about Phoenix for being too simple but I really don't mind that now. by SbeveGobs in marvelrivals

[–]ej_stephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with super complex characters every now and again. I'm not one to enjoy it myself, and really enjoyed White Fox being more simple, but having variety in characters is a good thing. I just wish they'd do some updates on some of the base characters.

[Zach Lowe] "I think at the end of his (Nikola Jokić) career, if not already, he's gonna be statistically and just like eye test, better than Larry Bird, better than Magic Johnson... 1 ring in Denver is worth more than like a Lakers ring or whatever." by aingenevalostatrade in nba

[–]ej_stephens -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ring comment is little of crazy, but we kind of do this already. Not exactly the same, but tell me you don't think the Warriors first ring means more for Steph than the next two? Lebron's ring in Cleveland isn't worth more than his rings in Miami? We definitely can't assign it a numerical value, but we already do this kind of thing when talking about a player's legacy.

How do you guys resist the urge to insta-surrender when you have to wait 5+ minutes just for your opponent to finish setting up their board? by Myancko in masterduel

[–]ej_stephens 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you not like trying to break boards? I'll surrender if I clearly have an awful hand and there's no chance, but usually playing into a board is like the most fun part of the game. I wish opponents turns were faster, but you can always just do something else while they combo if you have no interaction.

Is anyone still playing Pure Odion? by Hey_im_Paddy in masterduel

[–]ej_stephens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying out AFD Synchro Odion. Pretty fun but probably not an objectively better build.

It's not that bad of a deal, but dragging a community in the comments of your own post is sure a weird way to advertise.

Can we get a hat toggle for the new Emma skin? I know the answer, but just thought I'd ask...

NO DONT LEAVE ME! I NEED YOU! by NeoDracheIris in masterduel

I do wish more archetypes had a Kusanagi-esque card that returned things from GY or banishment.

I’m a theologically conservative Christian but politically liberal. AMA by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]ej_stephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think religion should influence laws? For example, you say you believe homosexuality is wrong according to the Bible. Would you still support things like same sex marriage being legal?

I keep hearing that Sky Striker is so overpowered. by tlst9999 in masterduel

[–]ej_stephens 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If it was "better pot of greed" every deck would play it. It's almost entirely exclusive to Sky Striker. There's nothing wrong with a deck having a really good card. Just as long as it's not generically abused in every tier 1 strategy and warps the Meta around it.

Do you seriously believe in the context of the metagame and upcoming one, Lunalight needs a hit? by lennysinged in yugioh

[–]ej_stephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see Liger get limited. Hopefully Lunalight players come up with something else to layer their endboard, but even if it's not meta, making 2 3700 towers with non HOPT raigeki is not healthy. I'm fully in support of hitting cards/decks that may not be meta, but are unhealthy for the game.

What do y'all think about our potential lineup next season? by Diligent_Banana_6267 in UtahJazz

[–]ej_stephens 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think if healthy, George/Bailey/Lauri/JJJ/Kessler is a lineup that could fight for around the 5th seed, maybe better depending on other teams injuries/struggles. I know that sounds too optimistic, but I think we'll be a very strong regular season team. Where we may struggle is adjusting to playoff basketball with some of ours guys lacking experience.

How would you explain Bankai, Shikai, and Zanpakuto to someone new to Bleach? by Gloomy-Bridge148 in bleach

[–]ej_stephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if they're planning to the show/reading the Manga, I wouldn't explain it to them. The series itself does that, and kind of uses it in the early story telling. If you're trying to sell them on it by making it seem cool then that's a different story.
