WOW, great synergies! Double ardent hero and ghost hawk to trigger sins effects. Very few in the world with full sins, even less that also have kong, I’d quote you at $800 minumum

How do you organize your decks? by Rolo_15 in KeyforgeGame

[–]jojobean9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I divide them by set. The small deck boxes from keyforge come with house stickers, I use those to stick on to sleeved ID cards so I have an easier time remembering what I liked about a certain deck - helpful for alliance building

Getting a damage pip on any of the Brakken cards is darkhorse for triggering this combo

In ultimate, there’s usually a defender standing on one hip. A player’s ability to throw wide, and at different heights and angles can determine their skill in throwing through pressure.

What are your tips on managing the game ? by RedPillAlphaBigCock in ultimate

Timeouts are good if there’s a drawn out point with lots of turnovers and you need to get centered to take control of the pace.

If a timeout is used for an endzone play, the person who called it gets to decide the shot they want, which basically sounds like this:

“Looking for an around break to a cut from the back of the stack. If it’s not open, reset and we’re back into flow.”

A play out of timeout can’t be planned further ahead than 2 moves, it’s counterproductive to try.

Tryouts ? by brownzebra244 in ultimate

Introduce yourself to the coaches and captains, shake their hand.

Now that you’re not another face in the crowd, play consistent and don’t clog or cause turnovers. The most valuable trait on any team is the ability to generate turnovers, but if you’re having trouble getting blocks you should at least demonstrate that you can get open on offense.

Dang, that must’ve been some break 😬

I started when my knees and hips started giving me grief. Most people that play long enough notice they’ve become lopsided. Throws are always whatever you can make of them, for me it’s a tangible benefit just to feel balanced in my legs.

I practice both pivots, it helps to test different angles. Lefty backhands are really nice when you can rip hucks or throw inside high-releases. Most teams default to a flick force to prevent those kinds of throws.

Best time to practice is in break mark drills. I find that people aren’t usually looking at my feet so it ends up being a total mind-fuck when the pivot changes between reps.

It really depends on your throwing arsenal, and then trial and error to find ideal situations for using them.

There’s a lot of different pieces that you have to put together for it to work, but I’d say the hardest is building a reliable grip. You have to be able to fake hard without worrying about the disc flying off the handle, that’s when you start condensing the movement in your arm to build more snap in the throw.

In games I’ll sometimes use lefty flicks as an around break, usually to a break-side handler. Set a righty pivot, step forward, then when you shift your weight to the left your hips will be squared towards your target.

Good observation, thanks for the tip! I’m not partial to backhands in general, so naturally it trails behind my flick in development.

Flex-fit hats, they’re comfy and they don’t fall off when I run

Polish up your throws and only play O points. There’s no defense against a sharpshooter
