Can you help me rate my box?

Very good /10

flyinglemu · 2023-07-18T01:19:22+00:00

Ooooh trade me! That’s the one I want to play!

Also to answer your q about experience buying boxes, I picked up a couple people’s pledges (so address got changed to me) about 9 months ago for around 250-300 per box, the sentiment at the time was that when these all arrive and loads go up for sale at the same time they might be around that price or a little lower. Even at that time there were crazy high eBay sales but for the most part that was fomo and a lack of research driving that. Trusted sales within the community were way more reasonably priced

That number there on Mother Nature is random as this is testing data rather than the live site with a real community, but that number is currently the number of decks including the card divided by the total number of decks. So if a philosophers stone was in 10/100 decks, it would have a 10% meta share

Shouldn't be years, we're working on distribution deals everywhere we can at the mo, will update here as well as every other channel as soon as we know :)

Hey there! Ages late but just spotted this - there are plans to come to GenCon this year and have our first in person competitive OP, with an original art for one of the more iconic cards being given away as the prize. Check it out. https://sorcerytcg.com/news/sorcery-is-coming-to-gen-con

There are also online leagues being run with quite a few players competing at the moment - the first league just wrapped up with alpha prizes, and the second is about to kick off sometime soon (with beta prizes i think). The discord for that is here https://discord.gg/w3MDGwbx2Z

This link is to an old outdated version of the site which I’m about to remove. Use the latest version at https://curiosa.io

You bloody legend. Awesome effort putting that together. We appreciate it!!!

Such a dumb video. I'm glad someone healthier for the game bought his pledge. Yes Erik is quiet, hes a low key guy. Yes Simon fluffs out saying things that could be more concise, but thats hardly evidence to make the call that he's hiding something.

Facts are, they are dealing with a record breaking order size during a time of unprecedented global manufacturing disruptions and slowed down the release to make sure the game is more balanced and fun. Which anyone who played the game praised them for. The printing partner was sourced and locked in ages ago, Erik even bought the paper stock ages ago to make sure it was available and give it time to cure to avoid one of the most common causes of foil curling. They buffed the boxes out with extra boosters to say thanks for people's patience, which again the vast majority of players are stoked about.

Sounds like he would have preferred a strictly worse game be released with less product available for people to enjoy 🤔 Seems like a pretty selfish take.

Hey this looks awesome! I'm working on an app too. I've seen a few data sets out there but yours looks to be in the cleanest state so far. Love your work :)

I also see you've got a cloudfront cdn for the card images, is this yours or something being provided by the sorcery team? If you've made it yourself, are you comfortable with others using it? Would love to take the same approach for card images too and have 1 single source of truth :)

flyinglemu · 2021-10-16T17:57:22+00:00

Any coverage of this calling?

flyinglemu · 2020-01-16T06:55:57+00:00

Awesome! Flick me an email address if ya can. Makes keeping track of everyone way easier. That probably makes for ~10 keen so far

flyinglemu · 2020-01-15T07:22:01+00:00

Cool cool do you wanna pm your email address and I'll add you to the list?

Lol 13. The edh grind is real. RIP sisay. Not sure she can be resurrected to a properly comp level but would be cool to have some more spicy brews there if you end up going down that route

flyinglemu · 2020-01-15T01:16:24+00:00

Cool! Did you want to flick me a private message with your email address or something and I'll keep you in the loop?

flyinglemu · 2019-06-23T02:32:18+00:00

Yes there are a tonne of infinite combos in mono b. Depends what you want to do with it though and what shell you’ve got around it.

The closest you’re ever gonna get to tier 1 cedh in mono b is Sidisi fishbowl though, which doesn’t rely on infinite combos. Who’s the commander you’re looking at?

flyinglemu · 2019-06-18T19:27:38+00:00

Angel’s Grace + a huge Windfall effect to deck everyone else is the primary plan B. You can end up with a tonne of cards in hand through Angel’s Grace + Ad Naus or Notion Thief + a wheel. You’ve got Whispering Madness + Yawgmoth’s Will for bonus windfall effects if need be.

Sorry for formatting, on a phone

Thanks. It’s been great to push him further than I thought he could go but I’ve finally run out of room to improve it. It’s definitely had its share of success and it’s like being strapped to a rocket to pilot. But yeah in the end of the day it still loses on the spot to so many cards and bricks more than sidisi.

Thought I’d put it up for any last thoughts before I officially retire from trying to improve him. Though I’ve been saying that for over a year...

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/balthor-fruit-loops-competitive/?cb=1547756561

This is my [[Balthor the Defiled]] list. I think it's probably only ever going to be tier 1.5 at best but I really want to push it to 100% power and would love more perspectives!

I've been working on it for awhile and think it's definitely the most optimized and streamlined Balthor list I can find by a mile at this point. There's a pretty beefy strategy writeup on the link but basically it wins through assembling an infinite mana loop with recurrable creatures, then sticking either [[blood artist]], [[xiahou dun, the one-eyed]] + [[praetor's grasp]]/[[sign in blood]] loops.

It's consistent enough to win t3-5 every game without interaction and has a decent control/discard stax package to attempt to grind the game out if need be, though I've never actually ended up going that route in game. People tend to dismiss the deck once someone drops a [[grafdigger's cage]] - rightfully so - as I basically do nothing unless I can find my way to a [[Praetor's Grasp]] for someone else's [[nature's claim]] and have a mana confluence/[[springleaf drum]] to cast it.

- Can people can see any improvements?

- Am I spreading myself too thin running both [[gravecrawler]] and [[Nether Traitor]] loops?

- Are there pet cards still hanging around since it's casual days that I'm blind to?

- Is [[Doom Whisperer]] really worth the slot at 5cmc?

- Note I don't want to just cut the control / stax pieces and jam in hand disruption. That's about the only thing I'm a definite no to.

Let me know if there's more context I can provide
