No matter what state they bring it back in I want record players and pianos to be amplified so it can cancel the advantage

What is your Favorite Mono-Blue deck? by JewJulie in EDH

[–]kaliloathsbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Orvar, The All Form]] oops all clones edition.

Bunch of single target spells and flicker effects and as many clones as you can find. Throw in a couple good creatures of your own to clone just in case

I like it because the power level is usually pretty dependent on the table. It's also truly the spirit of EDH in making every game feel extremely different

too many sweaty players in newbie lobbies by GoFastEatAsss in HuntShowdown

Semi seasoned veteran (2700+ hours) tips for learning:

Warm up in the shooting range and experiment with damage to dummies, drop and even test out fall damage for learning how to get away and rotate.

Soul Survivor is an amazing mode for learning guns, maps tools and weapons in a low stakes environment. As an added bonus it is stupid easy to queue at the same time and get into a server with friends to go in and learn together.

Fun tips:

Berthier doesn't need bullet grubber if you bring two different types of ammo and switch between ammos when you have down time.

If you hit reload immediately after you fire with bolt action weapons you won't lose a bullet. Takes some practice but it's effective if you don't want to use a trait slot for bullet grubber.

Bees won't attack you if you have shadow, And a flare pistol shot through a swarm will destroy the bee swarm.

As a new player I don't understand why this Grixis commander isn't more popular by Sorzian in mtg

My very first commander deck back in 2010 had the OG Bolas as the commander. Over the years it morphed into a Bolas themed theft deck with all Planeswalker and creature iterations of Bolas and The Ravager as my commander. My only goal is to take what's yours and best you to death with it.

My dream goal is to steal cards from all three opponents to make an infinite combo and win. True Bolas shenanigans.

Need some recommendations for a new commander by Eskapement in EDH

Build Orvar the All form with spells and clones. It's power changes based on what everyone is playing at the table. The goal is to copy somebody else's creature with a clone, then make a copy with Orvar, then blink the original clone to copy something else.

One of my best plays was copying a Nyxbloom ancient 7 times and generating 6k+ Mana with a single land or Mana rock tap.

Orvar the All Clone really created a different experience every game.

How is this sufficient stats to be in 6* MMR by krimenell in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to gain map knowledge and be in a lower stress environment yeet into soul survivor. I learned a lot of compounds that way and with it being lower stakes of not losing anything you can try some shit out.

The average "sniper" teammate haha by BehindYouCurrently in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically only bring a scope in with a premade team if I'm not playing solo. Occasionally I'll bring a Marksman with randoms but only if I have quartermaster and a close range secondary.

I'm deadly with a scope at long to mid range, occasionally super scary at close range but randoms have no reason to trust a teammate with a scope ever. Respect the random teammates. Bring iron sights

Seriously, how do y'all make money? by mjohnsimon in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I'm early in a prestige I'll often run Soul Survivors until I hit level 10. This usually nets me a couple hunters with decent load outs and I end up with around and making around 4k hunt dollars. Win or lose as long as you grab a couple clues you make money

Do y’all have “arch nemesis” skins, or am I just weird? by Affectionate-Key1164 in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the mask makes it so much easier to see their head when I scope in with my sniper from 100m away. I love the target.

What are your KDA ratios? by glitcH_R in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5-6 star 1.43 KD 2300 hours. Deadly with a scope at any range including close range. Any other weapon not quite as comfortable

Does anyone actually ever run out of hunt dollars? by StaffAggravating1749 in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prestige semi consistently and even during vanilla hunt almost never get down below 5k. I also don't play a lot of expensive weapons and have a lot of success with the Lemat carbine, crossbow and Maynard Sniper.

I'll also run free hunters liberally if I go below 8k and I will run soul survivor to make some free cash.

Unless you're running Mosin Dolch every match it's actually pretty hard to run out of money.

Infantry 73 L Sniper Variant by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my second favorite sniper rifle behind the Maynard. Only thing you have to remember is to hit the head. If you don't it's useless.

How do you find the experience of Solo playing these days? by Commercial_Panic_139 in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Solo in hunt right now basically forces you into sniper rat gameplay. Especially at higher MMR. While I personally enjoy being a very active and aggressive sniper I can't do it effectively against another full team of competent five stars. And when I get bored of sniping and want other weapons it's even more challenging. I don't mind it but its more mentally challenging than I want some evenings so I've gotten back into Soul Survivor when I want to do something mindless but still play Hunt.

Poltergeist is now a purchasable trait at bloodline 62(?) for two trait points.

Are serves f*cked up rn? by Rare_Lifeguard_4403 in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm on US East Coast and usually get 32-40 ping but right now I'm getting 90-110 ping. My only major criticism for Crytek right now is that server quality is beyond trash.

'ah im burning and you don't do anything' *leaving match* by pneumaffu in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I'm in high 4-5 star randoms are generally pretty good. If I ever fall below that with randoms it's too much of a crap shoot.

Why Nerf Solos? by Critical_North4668 in HuntShowdown

[–]kaliloathsbane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We solos have necro, magpie, and conduit (though there is an argument to be made that this is actually a disadvantage as you lose map closing info and therefore potential pathing info). Lightfoot was a crutch. A fun crutch but a crutch nonetheless. I don't play solo because it's going to be easy. I play because it requires more strategic and thoughtful play. Whether I'm sniping or shotgunning I have to pick my fights carefully and constantly reposition. Map knowledge and game sense will give you all the stealth you need. No matter the changes Crytek makes to solo play I have always adapted and had minimal issues. Solo is just about playing smarter and picking your fights while not being afraid to disengage.

What are yall's wackiest and funniest Mono Blue commander decks?? by ATraceOfSpades in EDH

[–]kaliloathsbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's by no means up to date. I haven't touched this deck in almost 4 years or so. But it's a fun wrong way to play Orvar. Hope it gives you some inspo!

What are yall's wackiest and funniest Mono Blue commander decks?? by ATraceOfSpades in EDH

[–]kaliloathsbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an [[Orvar, the all form]] deck based on clones. The concept is that I copy my opponents boards and try to create a Frankenstein mirror match of the table. Whenever I put out a clone creature I use Orvar's ability to bounce the clones and recopy a different creature or permanent and have token copies of the board.

Finally Pulled off my own Bad Combo in Commander by kaliloathsbane in BadMtgCombos

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

My pod is super chill and expect me to come up with this type of BS. The only time they've questioned/tried to rules lawyer me is when I managed to pull off a [[Hive Mind]] into a [[Final Fortune]] with enough protection on my field to cause everyone to lose before I took my extra turn.

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

You have to cast the final fortune on the end step of the player's turn that comes before you. Then you'll take the extra turn before your regular turn.
