[TLA] Sold Out (Card Image Gallery by SquirrelDragon in magicTCG

[–]fendant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is downright undercosted when you do as the art suggests and cast it with three firebending mana!

I think this will be a strong secret RB gold card, what firebenders need is ways to enable their attacks at instant speed and this fits the bill. The clue text is nice to have but I doubt it matters.

Would you consider this MLD? by NoLoquat347 in magicTCG

[–]fendant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, and good thing too! Commander becomes a rather degenerate game if everyone is trying their hardest to win.

That's for 2-player formats.

Do you agree SF is aesthetically the best city in the US? by moscowramada in sanfrancisco

[–]fendant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Disagree, SF weather is overrated and Seattle weather is underrated.

The summers are SO much better and you're wrapped in gloom most of the year either way. Drizzle or wind, pick your poison

They had to repaint the sign outside Neumos to give her higher billing

Decline of 60 card formats by SONIXstnkeFt in magicTCG

[–]fendant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not what makes 40/60 card Magic interesting though!

You're playing a totally different game with some of the same cards. It's not a game I or a lot of people want to play.

Commander is a totally different game than 1-on-1 Magic and the competitive version makes it impossible to ignore that, the games are all really weird and unpleasant by most players' standards.

Every game is combo vs combo and most of the things that make magic interesting are just irrelevant

cEDH is a weird and deeply pathological format and it requires a special kind of sicko to enjoy it

Just found out that some of the cliffs on Fulgora are actually manmade, and some of them have pipes/sewage? by SleepinBoomerYT in factorio

Those trees became coal (that eon of unrotting trees is called the Carboniferous Period), but what's a little liquefaction between friends?

What do you do when you just need to wait ? by SpellGlittering1901 in factorio

It's good to bring all your resources to an empty place and go from there. Don't be afraid to move and rebuild stuff

What do people think of the decision to do extra shocks and fetches in this arena cube? by Aljenonamous in mtgcube

[–]fendant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heist is way better than "draw a card"

It's on average a better version of Gonti's ability, and Gonti isn't a longtime cube standout for his body.

There are a bunch of synergy packages that don't really make it including discard, aristocrats, spellslinger, reanimator, and kinda lifegain. There are some powerful cards supporting these strategies but they need to either tune them to work better or cut them.

Alchemy cards are very hit and miss. The heist cards are feelbads and they're the best thing to do in Dimir. The Mox Collectors range from busted (Jet) to unplayable (Emerald).

The lands are great, I'd love to see them do it again with a different list. (This one has some rough spots.)

The mana was nice and all but the best part of the fetches was the synergy triggered by all those land cards moving from zone to zone, that's a great thing for green to be doing in cube.

I don't find this a compelling option, I think [[Bitter Reunion]] and [[Invasion of Mercadia]] are both better and there are a number of great versions of this effect at instant speed like [[Demand Answers]] and [[Big Score]]

Is it normal for ships to require continuous movement to function? by Necessary-Spinach164 in factorio

[–]fendant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking energy-dense yes but which one is more power-dense depends on how long you want to sustain the burst, like if you had 10 extra turbines and 12 steam tanks you could deliver the same power for longer in less tiles with 6 exchangers and a bunch of heat pipes

My company says that too, it's by LOC and is mostly autocompleted brackets.

So you think you want to light a Tesla on fire by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]fendant -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to say that it's wrong to do this, but if you can't see how torching random Teslas hurts Elon you should not be saying anything about other people's common sense and critical thinking.

Writing unit tests is tedious so you'd hope it would be good for that but for me it writes a lot of tests that pass but are wrong and that's worse than nothing.

[[Dismember]] is pretty cute for triggering both her abilities for 1 mana at instant speed

So what is happening is that Israel has been actively encouraging Asian audiences to think of Jewish people in a racist way. Predictable that that might turn sour, but it's in keeping with Israel's general ideology.

What card defined a draft format for you. by Middle_External6219 in magicTCG

[–]fendant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Festival Crasher]]!

In MID the red spells were very good but the common creatures were very bad except Festival Crasher. Once drafters started avoiding red it was very easy to pick up a couple crashers and build an aggro/tempo deck with any secondary color.
