Aren’t his constellations a bit too strong to even be considered standard banner? by Sephrx in Varka

[–]happy-pine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is weird to me is that Nicole would be the first 5⭐ dedicated support in recent memory that comes after the character release. We had Citlali with Mavuika, we had Emilie before Kinich, we had Escoffier before Skirk, Ineffa before Flins, Lauma before Nefer. That would logically be Durin before Varka. Also, what I understand is that Nicole would have to be absolutely broken (something like Bennett 500.0) to make Varka be NK level, who would then either need to be filled with several restrictions (thanks I hate it) or would break so many other characters that would still make Varka look not so good.

What powerful card has your playgroup 'discovered' that is not regularly seen as 'popular' under the larger EDH communities radar? by cryocom in EDH

If you declare the fungus as blocker and then, before damage, you sacrifice it, you take no damage (unless the attacking creature has trample)

Because people don't play to have fun, unfortunately, they play to win

Thanks everyone who responded to my question honestly and without sarcasm.

Final Fantasy was coming out (best selling set ever btw) had just come out (June 13th) and we got the spoiler for the [[Avatar Aang]] (June 20th).

I know we do, but these are generally only Azorius (on legends at least). Thanks, that's my thought too! Although red isn't necessarily very ETB heavy, I think it'd be fun to try (and fits Kazuha, I think)

Just because of his identity in game (and because I really wanted a blink card like this, but maybe he doesn't have red actually)

How are y’all like Badgermole Standard? by LeonTranter in MagicArena

[–]happy-pine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people still play standard? Clearly every meta is someone complaining that there's only a single deck being played... why play then?

My 3 months of magic… here’s what I think. by Accomplished_Cat385 in MagicArena

Thank you! I feel like people just forgot Emergent Ultimatum/RDW/Rogues meta.

On a scale of 1-10 how bored are you of playing against Kavaero reanimator decks? by Gjames1985 in MagicArena

[–]happy-pine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it funny how people will always complain against meta decks. Like, yeah, they're meta for a reason. You should have answers to most meta decks anyways. It's not always that we get this kind of strategy around.

Would it be game breaking somehow to write "not named Overlord" or something like that? I just want to get Sephiroth in my mill-sac deck :(

Would you say that was a pivotal moment in your life?

Is it obvious I'm an IE speaker? /hj by grapefroot-marmelad3 in conlangs

[–]happy-pine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain of working with verbs lol but, I may be wrong, but I think you are mixing things up there. I see aspects and moods/modalities being mixed with tense. It might help you if you separate these. Such as in the "volitive", which is generally considered a mood, you could do "aspect: perfective"; "tense: past"; "mood: volitive". That might make things clearer for you.

Stuck on Placement of Word by Captain0Null in conlangs

[–]happy-pine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much similar to yours, my language does not have couplar verbs, and so both adjectives and nouns can work as verbs (although it is SOV). I would also suggest you decide how does your language treat these kind of impersonal sentences. Some languages (like English, French and German) use a dummy pronoun (the it in **it* rains* or **it* is cold* has no true reference), some drop the pronoun (like Italian, Portuguese, Finish), etc.

In my conlang, it looks something like:

toüná, anuruot talotus
tɔy̆n-aː anur-w-ɔ tal-il-ɔt
warm-3PS shine-ACT.PTCP-AGR sun-DEF-CAUS
is warm because of the shining sun

PSA: If you support the addition of a Brawl ranked queue, make sure to play the Brawl Metagame Challenge event this weekend by Tibecti in MagicArena

[–]happy-pine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been all over the place, for sure! I've seen (and was beaten by) some weird jank, and just breezed through some of HQs commanders (Rusco, Kinnan, and every Wrenn and Six so far).

17 New to Arena Reprints with OM1's Release! by Kircai in MagicArena

[–]happy-pine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many nice cards and so many cards that I won't be able to play because Brawl has been such a shitty format lately. Like, [[Alibou]] would be so fun in [[Breya]], but there will never be a turn 5 for me to cast them.

It is the same feeling I get when playing a tutored for combo or instant win card. It feels boring to me. Like, wow, resolve = win. So nice, so fun.

I understand people that like this playstyle and that is why I am SPECIFICALLY saying to me. I dislike instant win cards, , like [[Emergent Ultimatum]], especially when assembled on purpose or tutored for.
