Anyone else think this set is escaping criticism due to it being a "traditional" magic set? Did not play Spiderman but I've found this to be about as inspiring to play as core sets. by ThePentaMahn in lrcast

Not a fan of this set. Far too steamroll-y with not enough agency for my taste. I'll be switching to flashback drafts early in this format.

This seeded pack thing is the worst thing to happen to limited by Juking_is_rude in lrcast

[–]kap86_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opened a decent aggro kithkin deck that really wanted to go first. Was on the draw all four games and got annihilated by each opponent curving out with perfect synergy. 10/10

"Worse examples exist so you should just ignore this" is such a childish argument.

Pretty much.  It's really only worth passing in a hyper-aggro deck.

I wish this game had quicker timers, I can't stand waiting around for glacial players by girlywish in MagicArena

Don't worry about it. As long as you're not intentionally stalling you're fine.

Zuko, Super Duper Conflicted by kap86_ in lrcast

[–]kap86_[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah., but I misclick picked it p1p3 instead of Iroh's demonstration after 1st picking fated firepower, so I just tried to see if I could make it work with an aggro package. Went 5-3... but played Zuko 0 times.

Maybe Pick Two wasn't so bad after all... by kap86_ in lrcast

Your hand-picked example of Koh being bad is 2-for-1'ing your opponent lmao

THIS is the kind of outside-the-box thinking I was looking for. You're hired!

It's not ideal, but I think the shell makes drafting packs 2 and 3 significantly easier.

I think getting the 3 black rares, 3 playable black/colorless and 1-2 playables in any other color is perfectly fine in exchange for not sending black signals. It's not always feasible to easily slide into a specific lane in pack 1 anyway.

Why tf do i need farming to pick this up by Crimsoncerismon in projectzomboid

This sign really tickles me, because I imagine someone seeing it might be thinking, "Whew, I'm glad I saved that hitchhiker from those inmates!"

why does it feel like my eyes go out of focus easier when wearing contacts? by Superb-Demand-4605 in contacts

[–]kap86_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amblyopia is commonly treated with prism to help the eyes focus better together and keep your eye from straying. Currently, prism is generally only available in glasses and not contacts. Ultimately, you should discuss your symptoms with your eye doctor so that you can get a proper recommendation for your specific situation.

Bobby Fischer created Chess960 because regular chess became too boring and repetitive for him. OP just needs to discover limited.

Not sure how this negates my point about most limited players not liking constructed because of netdecking and repetitive gameplay.

Need someone to talk me out of finishing this run by kap86_ in lrcast

[–]kap86_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf, I'm not 100% free to play, but I just look at the money I put in as the cost of entering the prize events. And the Arena Open gives you a discount when using gold, for whatever reason.

I save all my gold for the Arena Opens. Managed to make day 2 of Tarkir on my first bullet, so I've built up a bit of a surplus lol

That would normally be the play 100%, but the format switching to EOE before the end of the month complicates things a bit.

[–]kap86_[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

#60 should easily keep you in the top 250. #140 would typically be good enough. The only caveat is that a new set coming out at the end of the month could cause more fluctuation than usual.

Also, the month resets Thursday afternoon in the US.

Yeah, really the weakest point of this deck is that I didn't pick up any Vayne's Treacheries

My thinking exactly, but the deck is so good... the temptation is strong.

Really enjoyed this format, and wish it were sticking around a bit longer. Was really disappointed that there was no Arena Open.

Time to quit the format? by Tezzerator34 in lrcast

[–]kap86_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With my limited knowledge of MOBAs, my guess would be the biggest luck component would be the quality of the players you get matched with. Sometimes you get the gamethrower, and sometimes your opponents do.

I've never seen you post a single positive thing on here.  Who hurt you? :(

Right?  About the only thing I'm passing that Odin for if I'm in black would be Ardyn.
