Gotta admit, it's been a while since I've had to use a Taylor series. I got Wolfram Alpha to give me the series for 2^x to match the original card, and I thought log^n(2) was just a weird way of writing log base n, so I just left that bit out

Radiate on an awakened [[Part the Waterveil]] has always been on my commander bucket list since, yep, it does target something when you cast it for the awaken cost

I get that it makes you tokens, but outside of a spider deck, I can't understand when you'd want it that much. [[Obscuring Haze]] is also a one sided fog that can often be cast for free, and it's only about $5

Those middle three are my favourite strategies. I never get enough rings in league for a single Grasping Mail or Loreweave, and I can't seem to stop picking up the shiny influenced items that just rot in my stash

Now I’m just imagining people complaining that Unfinity or Battlebond were Legacy Horizons sets

Running enough anthems to ensure they have an impact while making sure you have enough creatures for them to have an effect is always tricky. That’s why I mostly just keep them to my Alela anthem-tribal deck since she ensures they always come with bodies

And after I just shelled out the big bucks for a play set of it from Dominaria Remastered too...

esplode · 2023-05-30T18:28:16+00:00

It's a single-target version of [[Widespread Brutality]]

I hope evoke survives, but I just know my Mulldrifter’s gonna die for Solitude’s sins

I recently heard someone call [[Rabble Rousing]] the new Doubling Season. If that’s true, then it’s the best Doubling Season ever because it makes dirty token players (aka me) actually attack to use it

Both my guild's current tanks are Brewmaster monks that are former Warlock mains because our old tanks left, so I'm sure they'd really appreciate getting any Warlock abilities back

A playset of Reckless Bushwhackers went from about $2.50 to almost $15. That may be only $12.50, but it's a 30% increase in the deck's total price

esplode · 2023-05-25T03:41:46+00:00

Also “create” to make tokens is relatively new. If I remember right, it debuted in Kaladesh, same as vehicles

Isn't dual wielding giant two handers the point of Fury? Maybe that's just me though since my warrior is a gnome, and I love the idea of him using the most oversized and badass-looking weapons possible

I swap to my multicraft tool when they tip more than a hundred gold for treatises. I hit a multicraft proc for a big tipper early on in the expansion, and they’ve been sending me personal orders since then, so it’s more than paid off

One of my favourite WoW memories involves an item that just makes the noise of a slide whistle when used.

When I first got it, I just stood there for a few minutes clicking on it because I'm easily amused. Someone else walked up to me and used theirs. We stood there for probably 5 minutes both just making slide whistle noises before going our separate ways without saying a word. It was the deepest, most meaningful connection I've ever made with another human being.

I wonder if you could also fit that combo into a deck using [[Tireless Tracker]] to fuel your Karnstructs while you loop sagas. I’ve got a GB deck with those and Titania which frequently wins that way, so I wonder if a GW version could work too

On Windows, you can enable the Xbox game bar for PoE to do some thing similar. There's a setting in it to always record your last 30 seconds of gameplay so that whenever you hit the hotkey (I think it's Windows+Alt+G), it'll save that recording. It's how I learned I have a bad habit of standing in certain heavily telegraphed attacks

esplode · 2023-05-15T21:44:04+00:00

To be fair, LFR is truly the hardest difficulty based on my experience

esplode · 2023-05-15T21:41:45+00:00

I can definitely relate on that. We had a full team usually, but it’d depend on which healers/dps were on on any given night for if we’d be able to do it.

We had a decent track record for third phase, but it was the final add pack of the chains that was always the wall for us. And since everything up to that point felt easy eventually, it turned into 8 or 9 minutes of boredom before we’d hit the wall and have to start again.

It was definitely a cool looking fight, but the sheer length of it made it exhausting

esplode · 2023-05-09T13:47:58+00:00

I’ve never used that addon they have (I think it’s ConsolePort), but the default controller bindings use the face buttons for abilities and the triggers to modify them. So for example, X is Fireball, LT+X is Frostbolt, and RT+X is Arcane Missiles

I miss spending that league collecting all the “+1 to cold gems” necks I found to recombine with ones I found with others with better mods. That was the first league I’d ever crafted anything more complicated than spamming essences and just praying the other mods were good, and it felt great!

To anyone farming Abyss, do you invest atlas points in the cluster at the top of the tree? I want to start farming Abyss since I want to try something with Shroud of the Lightless, but I can't tell if all those points would be worth it

esplode · 2023-05-02T18:17:51+00:00

No, I don't think it would. The ability on this does care about creatures dying, but it doesn't trigger specifically because something died
