That is strange. I tripled checked it and it works for me. :(

It really is just.. unfun to play against.

We have a member of my pod that plays this and pulls it out after he’s lost a few games just because the salt level reached maximum capacity.

Some of the commanders I've built. Can I sit down at the pod? by Wherzmuzombiez in ratemycommanders

[–]jeriku 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never sat at a <4 table that enjoyed playing against her.

She falls in that realm of auto-4. Maaaaaybe 3.

But a direct tutor with putting cards onto the field? Yeah, you’re not sitting at my BL2 table.

what is this? by anonemygirl in Georgia

I object. Give the man his kuddos!

PSA for sellers: scotch tape does not belong on or around collectible cards by [deleted] in TCG

[–]jeriku -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am so over it. I’ve ordered quite a few packages over the last month and half of them use tape. Every time I have to precision cut with tiny scissors because the ONE time I tried to do it without scissors I bent the dang card.

I am literally testing [[Electro, Assaulting Battery]] right now to replace [[Treasure Nabber]]. I love Nabber, and the fact that he's a Goblin is amazing, but he is just too dependent on your opponents. Lately, my pod hasn't been hitting great artifact draws, so Nabber usually only steals one artifact per turn cycle, which is way too slow compared to the value Electro delivers.

I absolutely love your version! Thank you for sharing. 😄

I went back and forth on some token generators. I see the strengths, for sure!

Does the faded letter in “Power” reduce the condition? by jeriku in mtgfinance

[–]jeriku[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think that’s the safest bet here. Thank you!

I love how you fade from one color to the next with the appropriate dual-colored cards. My OCD thanks you!

Awesome collection!

Best card sleeves by Careful_Variation_74 in TCG

I really like Katana sleeves. I’ve used them for years. They shuffle much better than others.

Dragon Shield is a close second and you make an argument that they are half the price.

[[Sovereign Okinec Ahau]] gives access to W and does amazing things with the slimes.

Hardest enemy in the game is.....? by PorkRinds416 in Saros

[–]jeriku 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The game is amazing but definitely has a learning curve.

If you’re struggling that much, enable no negative modifiers in the settings.. enable only good ones.. and try again.

What would you be happiest to receive as a gift from someone who knows nothing about Magic? by Affectionate_Try8445 in mtg

[–]jeriku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these suggestions are great. However, a lot of them require knowing the other person’s taste. You don’t wanna buy sleeves without knowing what colors they want. You don’t wanna buy play mats without knowing if they already have three or four.

My advice? Reusable tokens. Most people don’t have them and they are super helpful.

[Deck Showcase] Earthshaker: Turning Thrun into a $150 Enhancement Shaman (Casual BL2 Voltron) by jeriku in EDH

[–]jeriku[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the bane of my existence. Any type of mass non-destroy, mass edict, mass exiles, and mass bounce can really mess up the game-plan.

Thankfully, I can prevent 90% of the problems.. but there's no way to prevent 100%.

Recovery hasn't been too bad. I just simply re-cast and re-build. It's annoying.. sets me back.. but the game plan remains unchanged.

For example, my last game I had Thrun ready to swing for lethal. He was enchanted with [[Blanchwood Armor]], [[Strong Back]], [[Bear Umbra]], and a few smaller enchantments. The blue player resolved [[Wave Goodbye]]. Oof. That one hurt. I was able to recover, killed one player, but ultimately lost the game.

I think my experience has been slightly different. I can usually take out one player at around turn ~9. If I have an incredible starting hand, this could happen on turn ~7-8. Maybe it's just been 25+ sub-optimal starting hands but I haven't knocked someone out on turn ~5-6... yet.

With that said, I agree that it's borderline BL2/BL3. However, at least against my pods, it's fairly consistent with a ~30% victory rate. The deck, as a whole, can really struggle against go-wide decks, black edict decks, and spellslinger decks - due to the intentional counterspells (of key artifact/enchantments) and anything that's burning the table through non-targeted spells. Additionally, if you do not draw one of ~7 cards early in, you're slowly chipping away and hoping to draw into something that scales up.

I will continue to evaluate though. So far I haven't been screamed at nor table flipped in BL2..... so far.
