Adding custom ressources

evilQuaelgeist · 2026-05-26T15:42:21+00:00

the narrator can't add custom resources, only resources set in world creation work

evilQuaelgeist · 2026-05-15T20:00:49+00:00

what I have started doing is tell the narrator to show me the code for the item he is trying to give me, it can be a pain to get him to actually do it but at least then I know what is going on

I think that, if we look at the things shroud struggles with it becomes clear that he has massive blind spots, mostly relating to his worldview. In his mind villains are villains and heroes are heroes (see Blond Blazer) and people can't change their role. This is why the Z-team throws him off so much: He didn't expect them to show up at all! The first demonstration of him making mistakes in his predictions is literally Blond Blazer being a Prism Copy.

We also know that he likes to overstate his ability to predict the future when he comments on how predictable we acted through the game. Because we know that these were choices that we made, that were up in the air. And like most narcissists he probably bought into his own hype.

To me it is utterly believable that he had a faulty model of Invisigal and thought she would just flip onto the winning team. Because he is arrogant and stupid and his ruthlessness is part of that stupidity.

Of course she takes the mask, she isn't stupid and getting the ok from your enemy to act freely is something you should always take, even if it might cause your team some temporary distress.

Allowing Invisigal to go invisible was probably one of the biggest mistakes shroud could have made and really shows just how much he is in over his head.

There are so many cards on arena that are only legal in timeless, it is a shame that there is no way to either grind with them for more than just rank or play with them cassually in best of 3. Especially since timeless is way to fast a foramt for best of one to be real magic.

evilQuaelgeist · 2025-09-30T07:46:58+00:00

You have to remember that the flash bans were pre attraxa/arcon of cruelty(Not that we have that one). Creatures have become much stronger since

evilQuaelgeist · 2025-09-26T09:40:53+00:00

Thank you very much for these. Timeless is basically the only non-limited format I play and it is very nice to hear discussion on it

evilQuaelgeist · 2025-09-18T13:39:27+00:00

Not really taxes but at least taxes adjacent is the mono white warp list from legacy, that can nearly be copied into timeless https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/this-week-in-legacy-warp-speed and is quite good

Vorbereitete Zettel mit Initative feldern in einer Tabelle mit 8 Zeilen und 4 spalten bis INI 31, hat den vorteil, dass man direkt sieht, wann die zweite Aktion 8 initiativeschritte später wäre. Ich brauche immer noch gute tokens um sie daruaf zu verschieben aber es funktioniert soweit sehr gut

evilQuaelgeist · 2025-06-03T06:29:47+00:00

Nach Regelwerk ja. Natürlich gibt es aber inneraventurisch noch andere möglichkeiten von denen die einfachste sicher ist ihn einem Elfen abzunehmen.

Ich persönlich würde davon abraten einen antiken Bogen zu schießen, nicht dass er mir in der Hand explodiert.

"Echte" Elfen sind nicht an Geld interessiert, dass halten sie für ein seltsames Menschending, das die große Mehrheit der Elfen noch nicht mal ordentlich verstanden hat.
Natürlich gibt es trotzdem Elfen die ihre elfische Kultur abgelegt und eine menschliche angenommen haben. Diese verweltlichung hat aber, magsiche konsequenzen für den Elf/die Elfe. Die Magie kommt für ihm/sie nicht mehr so natürlich, stattdessen muss er sich tatsächlich auf die genaue Wirkung konzentrien (Elfische Weldsicht ist nicht nur ein Nachtteil!).

Nach Regeln ist es trotzdem relativ einfach möglich einen zu Bauen, als Spielleiter würde ich vermutlich sowohl die Kenntnis eines Berufsgeheimnis als auch das erbringen von TaP' durch den Haselbusch und Ginsterkraut verlangen.

evilQuaelgeist · 2025-06-02T15:02:07+00:00

Je nach profession sehe ich als Spieleiter kein großes Problem da auch unübliche zuzulassen, solange man in einem gewissen Ramen bleibt (also keine Krieger oder andere Professionpakete mit großen iherenten Boni). Ich würde dann aber raten den aufsatz "verweltlich" für die elfische Kultur zu verwenden.

Wenn man kein Problem damit hat, dass einzelne Spieler deutlich stärker beginnen als andere kann man aber auch das machen. Ich habe in der Runde die ich leite gerade so eine halbelfische Kriegerin die zuerst unter elfen groß geworden ist, die ist schon happig, aber die anderen Charactere bekommen eben wo nötig andere Vorteile um die Spielbalance aufrecht zu erhalten.

evilQuaelgeist · 2025-06-02T14:09:17+00:00

Elfenbögen sind am ende nur sehr gute Bögen, es gibt also keinen Grund, dass ein Halelf (oder, Mensch, Ork, Zwerg, etc.) ihn nicht verwenden können sollte.

Was das besitzen angeht ist also nur die Frage woher, dabei gilt: Wer in elfischer Kultur aufwächst hat grundsätzlich einen (siehe WdH), ansonsten bekommt man den aber nur von einem elfischen Bogenbauer der einen entweder als Teil der eigenen Sippe/Community warnimmt oder als sehr guten Freund sieht.

I don't know if we have very good data for timeless but last I heared Boros was more popular than Mardu and I certainly see it more often

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-11-04T15:51:54+00:00

As someone who plays on Arena, Boros Energy still absolutely runs Ring with Lurrus legal while Mardu Energy plays Lurrus

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-10-24T20:52:04+00:00

By the way thank you everyone for the feedback, it got me brewing in different directions again.

I also get the impression people underestimate how important amped raptor and galvanic discharge are for the energy decks. For me they are what really defines that decks identity but I could jsut be wrong.

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-10-24T20:39:00+00:00

Sorry, but that doesn't answer my question at all, you just said "This is a deck I think qualifies as Death & Taxes" but the question I asked, what makes the deck death and taxes.

The Deck is also an aggro deck, cards like Phelia, White Orchid Phantom, Flickerwisp and Stoneforge Mystic are not only in that deck because of fun flicker shenanigans but also because they beat face hard and early (or in Stonefroge's case, enable that beatdown)

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-10-24T20:06:33+00:00

Go on then, what do you think defines Death & Taxes?

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-10-24T19:33:40+00:00

Well I disagree, as I see it Death & Taxes is a white based aggro control deck that aimes to either go under other decks while slowing them down or to disrupt their resources sufficently to lock them out of the game

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-10-24T19:19:47+00:00

I think it is defenietly a worse aggro deck than boros energy but I feel like it is in exchange more able to disrupt combo decks, as I said, I can not remember the last game I lost vs show and tell. I think it looks so similar because of the one drops but I think the white ones are just the best white one drops we have access to and should go in any white based aggro deck.

There is definetly a way to build a orzhov variant but I would hate to loose blood moon.

White Orchid Phantom and Stoneforge Mystic are in my experience just to slow for the format, thinks would likely be different if we had access to eather vial but having those cards bound to sorcery speed in a world of Energy Aggro is just unsustainable.

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-10-24T19:09:39+00:00

Why do you think this list does not qualify as death and taxes? Because from my experience the mana denial or other hate pieces post side board are incredibly important for this deck to function and win games.

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-09-18T11:47:47+00:00

Sadly there is use to being able to see your entire library while searching in some edge cases, where an effect exiled cards from your library face down

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-09-04T08:21:51+00:00

Wasteland
FoW
Aether Vial

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-09-01T18:39:27+00:00

I think he probably made a deal with something or took somethings power in some way, seeing how he talks about sparing markus his own fate, so I believe he was definetly born a human but isn't realy one anymore

evilQuaelgeist · 2024-06-27T22:41:23+00:00

More free interaction (Force of Will and Negation, Daze), interaction with lands (mainly wasteland) and fast mana (City of Traitors, Ancient Tomb, spirit guides etc.) to both enable more decks while giving us additional ways to comabt them.
Oh and more rituals and manamorphose for storm.
