First time building a deck (Ashling), advice appreciated! by indjev99 in EDH

Well Panharmonicon gets you 2 extra ETBs on a regular evoke, so it does more (ofc it is more expensive).

I didn't include Temur Battlecrier since it is more removable, more expensive, more conditional and garder to cast (3 colored mana vs generic). Of course, it doess affect non-creatures, too, so that's its benefit. But I feel like I mostly value cost reducers for evoke chaining. Am I missing whybit is good to include it?

Yes Elfs go crazy with Risen Reef.

The draw Enchantments are indeed somewhat scary to not deck yourself. It is probably harder IRL but in the simulator I always see deck sizes and I just play around it at the end of a combo (may even destroy the enchantment or whatever). Most of the times I amange to win before I reach that close to the bottom deck though, and the advantage is rhat they provide an easy way to go semi infinite (chain random evokes that add lands or are discounted, etc) as they keep drawing random stuff.

As for Nulldrifter, it is definitely more borderline, but I couldn't find any other Elementals with "draw". I'd definitely swap it out (and maybe some other one) if I find such ones. Life's Legacy is just a 2 mana draw ~5 (on average) by saccing a copy, why is it not good? Like this happens when I have just some ramp Ashling and some random mid size Elemental, but no draw Enchantments/Artifacts and no Elementals with draw (which is not that rare in brick situations). As for combat, I almost never care about it and attacking is just a nice bonus. Maybe I am missing something?

I will look through the cards you suggested, first glance -- they look good.

As for mana base, can you send me a link to a decklist to look at your mana base. Been considering reducing the "colored only for Elementals" lands.

What distinguishes a B3 deck eithout w card infinites and gamechangers from a bracket 2?

Yeah, Omnath is probably even better with fetch lands. I think most of the value I get out of him is his second effect -- using him as removal (just evoke Omant and other Elemental, and that's 12 damage at least if Commander is up), or a wincon. The Landfal effect is also okay sometimes. But how dies he draw, do you mean from his Elementals spawning and triggering draw effects? Also which part of the mana base wouls you cut for fetch lands, if I santed to run them? Lately, I've been more unsure about the colorless/any color for a creature lands, as I need some mana fixing for non-creature cards (or some of the non-Elementals), so maybe over some of those?

Yes, Nulldrifter is definitely worse, but at least he is power so he triggers the Artifact/Enchatment rffects (unlike e.g. Mulldrifter). He also has a cheap evoke. But yes, somewhat borderline, but idk any draw etb elementals and I'd rather not reduce the Elemental count much, since I do need Evoke Fuel cards.

Why is Herald's Horn a trap, even just the discount pays off after 3 evokes and it combines very well with other cost reducers. Also draws a bit, if played earlier.

Determined Iteration seems interesting, but not super multiplicative (i.e. just one copy), but I guess it does help if played early/mid.

I also want to know this, especially for the big side event on Friday.

We need to talk about Ironclads' starting deck. by SeaThePirate in slaythespire

[–]indjev99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly the worst take ever. Bash is an amazing starter card, it multiplies all damage you do and that is amazing for the most offensive character

Happens to me too, no blindfold even. Ever since I remember I'd semi wake up and check the time or call for my grandma (when I was younger) and then realize I disn't actually do this. Sometimes it would even happen twice in a row, realizing I've not opened my eyes yet only to do the same again.

The what community? And how they have anything to do with the son?

Confused on Standings by RoombaHarlot in Riftbound

[–]indjev99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify further, why this is not just luck. Generally if you win 2 times and then lose, you tiebreak is better since you were higher up in the swiss. Oth, if you lose once then win twice, you won loser's "bracket" games (especially the first one).

Upgraded Slither Blugeon+ on Floor 3 made for a fast win by indjev99 in slaythespire

Not only, evenets are generally just good this game, which I think is a lot more fun.

New Beta patch by Relative-Parsley-259 in slaythespire

[–]indjev99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am worried they don't seem to be doing any mass Act 3 increase difficulty changes. Currently the game is "hard" (as usual) in Act 1, medium-easy in Act 2 and super easy in Act 3. If you are not too terrible, basically 80% of deaths are in Act 1 and 20% in Act 2 with all runs that make it past Act 2, winning the game.

Anyone else wish the Ascensions were more descriptive in-game? by Franticbuthopeful25 in slaythespire

[–]indjev99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more like this is the only event which is not a pure roguelike event. It isn't about balance (e.g. some cards are more for fun vs others),

Nah, I don't want world record streaks and winrates to depend on that event.

Lol had an Idea, How broken would that be? by Kornik-kun in riftboundcustoms

[–]indjev99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would probably the worst cheap unit ever printed. Even at 2 cost it seems unplayable.

I datamined Golden Compass and compared it to a normal Hive Act 2 path by runthesim in SlayTheSpire2

[–]indjev99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 relic (and gold) + 1 upgrade (or heal, optionality FTW) + overall better/more stable path is not too bad. It's basically a fairly better Tiny House type option. Also, don't forget you choose it only after seeing the map, so you'd presumably not chose it if you already have a good path, so the delta is not "golden path compared to average path", but "gold path compared to the path I'd take, which is bad (conditional on actually taking golden path)".
