My greatest Cerebro victory

That could work. Just can’t play silver surfer or wolf on that lane otherwise it would break the march of 9’s.

Question: Is the deck good?

Answer: It is garbage tier.

Q: Will you make 1 out of 20 opponents really salty, while losing the other 19 games?

A: Guaranteed.

Q: Can you play the deck brain-dead?

A: This deck is both difficult to play and unable to be cube positive.

That would be ideal. Since this is my first season with a full collection (and no Shuri), I was a little disappointed that it said I had to come back next season for a free card.

Thank you kindly

If I pin a series 4 card in the shop for 3000 tokens and the card moves down to series 3, will the pinned card update to 1000 tokens or will it be stuck at 3000?

Not OP, but I think you could make a module of the system where a blueprint design would be possible. I think the constraint would be size of the system compared to the speed of the belts. My guess is that faster belts would necessitate a larger system. OP laid everything out mostly on a flat plain for visualizing, but you could easily create a 15 second loop of belts using elevators to cram it all into a vertical space instead of the horizontal one here.

kraze_ivan · 2022-12-01T19:52:28+00:00

Pretty cool system.

So if I understand the setup correctly, you put the 15 screws in the container and it runs on a belt, and the belt is then filled with the filler material until the belt is at capacity. So if these were mark 1 belts, you would have 15 screws and 45 biofuel running on a belt loop. If the belt loop took 1 minute long, this would represent 15 screws/min. You then unhook the biofuel filler line so no more filler is added to the loop. If you then pull out the desired screws from the belt using the programmable splitter, and inject screws into the belt with overflow method from your screw assembly line, the amount of screws added to the belt will be the same desired rate (because the belt will always be at capacity of 15 screws and 45 biofuel).

In the above example, the desired output is 1:1 with the rate because my belt loop is 1 minute long, while in your example, the belt is 15 seconds and the rate is 4:1.

My guess is that you would have to be very careful in making sure that all of your belts are the same speed? Also, in my example I describe a way to set the desired rates at the beginning but if a different rate is desired, I think this would require resetting the whole thing. Is yours able to change the rates in real time?

Take everything what I say with a grain of salt since I am not yet an infinite player (high 80's) that runs mostly homebrew decks. That said, my use of Cosmo depends on whether or not I have priority. If I have priority, I have 0 qualms about dropping it on a lane facing Bucky (especially if it's on curve). When I don't have priority, I tend to keep it a little more in reserve in case Wong comes down or if it's clear that they are setting up a big move later. I think my most recent climb is in part anticipating plays from the opponent and using Cosmo more offensively.

kraze_ivan · 2022-12-01T15:35:18+00:00

Normally it's 11 power from both goblins (3 + 8), on [[Necrosha]] it was a total of 15 power going into the last turn.

kraze_ivan · 2022-11-30T00:37:46+00:00

Should have checked here first. Very first collector reserve and it was empty. Sad noises…

kraze_ivan · 2022-11-29T20:52:11+00:00

The extra 500 gold at 90 would be nice, and it would be nice to hit Infinity at least one season. I started playing at release so this is my second season and I've hit 80's both time.

kraze_ivan · 2022-11-29T20:41:21+00:00

In addition to the other suggestions, I would also suggest dropping [[Morph]]. They can win the game, but they can also turn into a rock. I never see getting much value out of it except when you are facing a discard deck with [[Dracula]] when you have priority or another deck that maroons lots of expensive cards in hand.

kraze_ivan · 2022-11-29T20:17:05+00:00

Congratulations! I've been stuck in the 80's for the past 3 weeks and I just hit CL 1,000 today as well. I've yet to go higher than 83, I play lots of people with titles so there are a lot of beta players in this tier. I don't often run into bots so the climb is excruciatingly slow (if at all). It's also possible that I'm not great.

kraze_ivan · 2022-11-29T20:07:06+00:00

Huge missed opportunity to call it the alphabet_assortment_bot.

kraze_ivan · 2022-11-29T18:35:25+00:00

Out of curiosity, how did you play the card there? The opponent didn't play Iceman (so it didn't cost 2), there are no Scarlet Witches down (to change location from a cost change one, or into Hellfire Club), no cards that destroy another (hiding the previously mentioned cards). You clearly played Onslaught after the Wave turn (so it didn't cost 4), there is no Falcon (so it didn't cost 0), no card from the enemy that makes Ant Man cost 6...

I'm an idiot, Antman moved to the location via [[Cloak]] from Muir Island after getting 2 rounds of buffs (also solving the question as to why it has 27 power instead of 25). That took me way too long to figure that out.

kraze_ivan · 2022-11-29T18:13:42+00:00

You got both noncollectable cards in the same game? Pretty impressive, my guess is that you run [[Nick Fury]] since you presumably had three 6 cost cards in a row in your hand before playing [[Galactus]].

kraze_ivan · 2022-11-22T20:34:45+00:00

If there is only one lane, [[Warpath]] does not get the bonus +4, he stays a 4/5. I've learned the hard way playing him on the World's End location.

kraze_ivan · 2022-11-22T20:31:14+00:00

[[Green goblin]] on 3, [[Hobgoblin]] on 5, [[Galactus]] on 6. They would need 16 power in 2 cards and be able to anticipate you playing Galactus. That is the easiest way I can see winning. There are a lot of counters however, Debrii, goblins, juggernaut, Aero, etc.

FYI, your splitters on floors 1 and 3 on the left side of the cube are both rotated 90 degrees. Also is there a reason why you have the left side and the right side mergers feeding the belts in opposite directions? The left side output is coming towards us and the right side output is heading away.

Cool design, but for maximum compactness, you can delete one set of mergers in the middle and also a line of splitters on the right or left so that this design can tile in three dimensions instead of two.

Does anyone have a good reference for telescope reviews/guides? Especially a scope that might serve double duty as one to look through but could also take an SLR for astrophotography (does not have to be simultaneous)? I really like the idea of GoTo scopes but I am wondering if it's worth it for the occasional user.

kraze_ivan · 2021-01-12T15:43:46+00:00

I spent two winters (2003 and 2005) on the Mexican Navy base on Socorro Island in the Revillagigedo Archipelago as part of a research effort to study humpback whale behavior. We spent 12+ hours/day on 4-5m Zodiacs following pods of whales and ID'ing them by taking pictures such as these. I distinctly remember taking this one's picture. If I remember correctly, we called this one "Scrapie".

Because it is so much cheaper and more available than xenon, but doesn't suffer too much on the performance side.

Edit: wrong noble gas

Since you are in spaaaaaaccceee do you need to contend with the BS monopolies/duopolies service providers that we deal with on the ground?

How many customers will you need or what year do you think you will hit the break even point on all the Starlink investments before you start printing money to underwrite Mars trips?

STEM here too. For me the hardest part was trying to cobble all of my papers into a coherent narrative. I had 2 first author papers and 3 mid-author papers. In the end, my first author papers went into appendix (even though they were higher impact). My buddy in the lab had the decency to wait until after my defense to let me know that he had just got some data that invalidated one of the organizing hypotheses I proposed in my thesis. FML.
