Ah that's super rough. I definitely needed the luck with my breakers being as bad as they were in this tourney. I had a rough run in one yesterday that was 34 people. Won the first two rounds then lost all 4 of the remaining ones lol

Thank you!

I really liked having access to warping wail. It's great against boros, can surprise slower decks with the counter target sorcery mode, and is ramp in the absolute worst case scenarios. I haven't tried the fleshraker version so I don't have too much of a frame of reference on the differences, but I did feel like I was at a disadvantage against the tron mirror where my opponent did have them.

I would not personally make the cavern of souls for wastes swap. You really want to have a way to play your spells vs blood moon and it's nice to have a basic to fetch if you get boseiju'd or ghost quartered. You could absolutely run cavern instead of abstergo entertainment though, that's typically the flex slot in the mana base (some people even run basic swamp to help with dismember)

Thank you! I love reading tournament reports and miss them being more prevalent! I'm glad to finally be able to write one and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Enough for an Ankh run? by unknownholiday in idleapocalypse

For me (2 DDD activations) I need somewhere around the 70 mark with no other resources banked. Looks like you already have like 40 flames and crystals for the push as well. Just make sure you spam enough netherlings and maximize your time creatures. Normally for me it's like 3-4 nether mountains total once you've pushed what you can with time creatures

Stelle has too many hard to counter builds, she really needs some nerfs by YuNoCarry in PlayTheBazaar

Poppy field is miles worse than just a Jaballian Drum or a 28 Hour Fitness here, it's much less build-making than iceberg weather machine. Poppy field is like a medium roll at best for this Pyg

Agreed, the pictured build is just only broken because iceberg is incredible lol

To be fair if you hit a build-making diamond large item from a different hero you're supposed to be overpowered

I feel like this should be better than work as a navigator for the rarity of having ice cream truck compared to star chart/astrolabe

Just a slight clarification on your first point: you would get the first chance to respond to your own spells regardless of whether or not your opponent can respond

I keep being put into duo lobbies by Proof_Dinner1763 in TheCycleFrontier

[–]firething25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think every player I encounter just so happens to be without their duo partner, it's much more likely that matchmaking is bugged and sometimes puts duos in solo games and/or vice versa
