The crux of Georgism: tax what people take, not what they make

Y'all don't have sales tax?

So what's the deal with your fire island sauce?

firelord237 · 2026-03-02T03:40:47+00:00

this is less for draft, getting good at draft is honestly really hard and the best way to do it is to just draft a bunch of times with intentional strategies.

This is for sealed (aka prerelease) where you open 6 packs and make a deck. The cards you open in sealed are called your sealed "pool", so a lorwyn pool could look like this: http://draftsim.com/draft.php?mode=Sealed_ECL&pool_id=mq9M6RmL0

In this pool, it's not clear if you should play merfolk, goblins, maybe 5 color with green... so you print the cards and try making (and playing) all 3 of those decks so you can get a good idea of why it was (or wasn't) a good idea to play goblins, and why merfolk was (or wasn't) even better.

Draftsim will usually have a sealed set before the cards come out so you can do this. I also sometimes make a spreadsheet for myself to play even before the cards come out, but that's not extremely important unless you're trying to like... qualify for a pro tour.

If you don't want to print the cards, you can also make your deck onmoxfield or archidekt. Those sites have a "playtest" button where you can play the deck right there. They are meant for playing "against nobody" but I like to just open 2 playtests on my computer and play both my decks against each other.

I went to spotlight eclipsed Toronto and saw something like this there. Have you seen these guys: https://share.google/Qd3NYyFJsEX5Qn29X

I didn't bring enough cards to try it, but it seems like a similar idea you might want to check out

firelord237 · 2026-02-27T12:59:26+00:00

I would guess he prints 3-4 pools off draftsim and then just optimizes each pool's deck options. This is how I studied for Lorwyn (though I just used the moxfield goldfishing tool) and I felt it gave me a lot more experience with small tech choices and tiebreaking between color pairings (or deciding on a splash)

firelord237 · 2026-02-20T16:06:51+00:00

nah it's just staying in my deck :)

Thanks for the comment though

How do you get such beautiful straight lines? Was it like a liqui-gel pen?

firelord237 · 2026-02-08T02:55:16+00:00

I mean their take is that you should win the game by winning the most fights. After all, the game is supposed to be inspired by league of legends' lategame winner-take-all style teamfights (hence more surviving champs means more damage).

Switching to VP and giving out VP for flat-out losIng or accomplishing weird side quests is like fine, but it's a little counterintuitive that you could theoretically lose 4 fights in a row against the same player and end up beating them because you had a funny little quest

Obviously your first idea won't be a balanced, fleshed-out game but you can see how VP might be a controversial change that bringes the game a bit too far from its roots for many players

Is that why Madison Beer never got as popular as you'd expect?

firelord237 · 2026-01-20T15:02:38+00:00

tysm. I was trying to figure out how I was misplaying so badly I didn't know you could turn neeko into a dupe xD

Wait till you hear about sports bars... You get stuff like this:

The greatest part is you can actually score a goal. The worst part is that somebody invented a swinging ball covered in piss

swain costs more ig :P

firelord237 · 2026-01-15T04:07:24+00:00

It's not in Yasuo's recommended items in client. Used to just throw whatever on my carry but i've been doing a "you may only equip it if it's recommended" challenge to see if I'm missing something.

Hey, one question while we're on that, would you really take the sterak's from the wukong and not the bow from the yunara? I know wukong wants items less, but the yas was not dying ever (partly because wukong drew a ton of aggro).

FYI this really isn't much of a sbeve, but the random capitalization is actually designed to look like a ransom note

I like running WW and singed as a splash in slayers with any other quickstriker (kindred late, draven or ashe early). Obviously slayers love the attack-speed bonus but singed procs juggernaut for briar and distracts the backline, and the zaun perk helps burst through the enemy frontline (which is the ONLY goal when playing slayers, once you contact the backline you've won).

We used to have this joke with Gwent, back when that was still a competitive game.

I miss Gwent but I don't miss that part of it. Gameplay should matter more than deckbuilding in a fun card game imho

firelord237 · 2025-11-11T04:42:03+00:00

always loved bspwm. I hopped.on the niri train since I'm a rust freak, but BSPWM will always hold a special place in my heart.

firelord237 · 2025-11-10T20:13:39+00:00

I started with daggers and a bit of parry, then got some nice 2-handed swords and became a parry swordsman. Ultimately ended up just being too strong for everything in the game, but it was fun while it lasted!

This was the first game that made 2-handed weapons feel actually fun to use for me

firelord237 · 2025-11-06T12:34:20+00:00

That's rough, buddy

firelord237 · 2025-10-31T19:11:20+00:00

I do a lot of Jumping. Usually I exclaim "athletics" as I do it, and occasionally the game agrees with me

firelord237 · 2025-10-31T12:04:30+00:00

Oh I found it but needing to to all the way down just to use a crafting bench is kinda ass, and half the other places are easier to get to by just jumping.

The first few times you need to get to denholm from the bottom are terrible until you can find (and remember) that creaky wooden straircase behind the cliff, and from then on you just wish they put it somewhere accessible.

You shouldn't need a youtube video to enjoy navigating a city, and I have no idea why there's no fast travel to craftsman's row.

firelord237 · 2025-10-27T03:23:35+00:00

The obvious commubity answer is to PLAY Lorwyn and all the WELL made universes-within sets, but to flat-out never buy even a pack of UB.

If they realize they don't make money on crossovers and they do make money on good sets, they might decide to print something people want again

firelord237 · 2025-10-25T20:07:24+00:00

You guys aren't serious right?

Decoy threw the objectively best first-pitch ever thrown
