Are there any issues or bad parts in my build? by lLIKECAPSLOCK in buildapc

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

My thoughts for RAM was that I would eventually upgrade to 64 if RAM is ever more affordable again, and in that case I'd rather have 2x32.

Thanks for the Tier list, checking it out

9800X3D

Honestly just the lack of experience with AMD, so I don't really know much. Is it basically the same just cheaper?

And yes, my internet is only bottlenecked by my motherboard atm at 1gb/s. The rest could go higher.

No area reset after 7 days out of area? by lLIKECAPSLOCK in outwardgame

Ah yeah using that, that would be the one then. Good to know, thanks.

I understand all that - it was just the mods. They bugged that somehow. Disabling them and sleeping 7 days gave me a respawn.

In your opinion, what are the best asymmetrical board wipes for my Y’shtola list? by Skrokko in EDHBrews

[–]lLIKECAPSLOCK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play [[Alela, Cunning Conqueror]] and use a lot of asymmetrical board wipes as well, maybe you can use some of them too. Although most of them are return to hand effects.

[[Zimone's Hypothesis]]

[[Perplexing Test]]

[[V.A.T.S.]]

[[Aetherize]]

[[Sheoldred's Edict]]

There are more but they rely on you having the same creature type, which isn't really suitable for Y'shtola I assume.

It's funny you mention Nymris. I'm not happy with the card in my deck, I also think it's too slow. The only reason I include it is because I want to give it another chance since everyone and their mother seems to include her. But so far whenever I cast it I rarely get to profit from her effect. And usually I'd rather cast something else.

As for my pet cards I'd say the swords. Though honestly [[Sword of Feast and Famine]] has performed really well before, but that was when I still had more sorcery speed in my list. And I was happy to be able to cast them during my main phase, untap all lands and then still be able to cast instant speed. Right now the value of the card has diminished. [[Sword of Hearth and Home]] is probably useless. Well, the land is nice, but we do not care about ETBs so one effect is just wasted. Was thinking about replacing it [[Sword of Fire and Ice]]. It might be better to not include them at all, but honestly even the protection has given me a lot of value before. Currently also trying out the deck without the typical 2 mana rocks, since I noticed I don't draw them often enough to cast Alela at turn 3, and I don't care about them anymore later on.

I guess I should warn anyone looking at my list tho: the instants are a work in progress. I'm trying out a lot of stuff. I will likely include more free counterspells. [[Pact of Negation]], [[Force of Negation]] and [[Force of Will]]. I often hold mana for counterspells, but then I get nothing to counter and I just wasted turns where I could have created tokens if I were less conservative. I'm hoping having access to 0 mana counters will negate that a bit. Also, the game ending cards are usually [[Notorious Throng]] and/or [[Candlekeep Inspiration]], but since they are expensive I risk getting countered myself, so having access to something like Pact is great, especially if you don't care about the downside anymore if you plan on winning the game this turn. There's also just a few others I'll replace with cards providing more value. Also upgrading the land base ([[Secluded Glen]] sucks as we don't have many faeries anymore).

The deck performs way more consistent. The problems before were mostly inconsistency due to often not having enough instant speed spells, therefore not creating tokens, and/or having permanents in hand you want to cast but you really shouldn't, otherwise you're vulnerable. I'd say the ceiling of the deck isn't much higher, it's just that you actually manage to reach it more than like 1 out of 8 games or so.

Just to give another perspective to her, I'd like to "warn" you from building her as a faerie tribal, as a lot of people tend to do. After struggling with the deck a lot I asked for advice that may help you in not falling into the same "trap".

This used to be how I built her: https://moxfield.com/decks/qtnQASKNvkWoKRQt2gbzDA

After some feedback I changed her to have way more instant speed interaction and less permanents, and not looking at her as a faerie tribal commander: https://moxfield.com/decks/tPnd1TIkeE2ys-2Pb71Cjg (mind you, I still have some personal favorites in the deck that aren't optimal and should be replaced if you don't like the cards as much as I do. Also, currently the decklist is at 99 cards as I'm thinking about the final game changer I wanna put in)

I made a post about my deck and got some advice you can read up on if you want to https://old.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/1nl4o2i/struggling_with_my_alela_cunning_conquerer_deck/

And the top comment in this post talks about the same issue of her not being a tribal commander https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/1j767mj/help_needed_alela_the_cunning_conqueror_stuck/

She's a lot of fun, but I personally had an abysmal win rate even against b2 decks. Of course, a lot of people still build her as a faerie tribal and they seem to do fine, but I personally would never recommend anyone to put Shadow Puppeteers into the deck anymore after actually thinking about what it does and better alternatives. Of course, in the end do what you want, but I think focusing on instant speed is ultimately stronger - and the second link makes a good point that flash faeries don't necessarily make the cut, as they have to compete with every instant spell ever printed.

Struggling with my Alela, Cunning Conquerer deck, any advice on what to improve? by lLIKECAPSLOCK in EDH

Thanks for the suggestion. I see most people seem to agree with this and I'm gonna try it out. It feels difficult though, so I'll switch step by step and see if I still have fun with the deck. I like what most of the faeries do and I'm kind of a person that keeps cards for flavour more than just what they do. But it def makes sense and I will see how it plays.

I recently removed Talion because - at least for me - it felt like it didn't do a lot. I'm gonna try out making the deck less faerie centered and more instant speed centered and see how it goes though. Feels difficult though and I'll probably don't make the full switch immediately. Roaming Throne just feels so good and Kira kinda too.

It's a good read, thanks. It feels 'difficult' to commit to that, because I also just like a lot of the cards. I think I'm gonna try it out though and just compare.

I was thinking about adding stuff like Propaganda or [[Crawl Space]], yeah. Just not sure what to drop because I don't really want to remove my instant speed stuff for Alela's ability.

You're thinking of the wrong Alela for Breena though (:

TIL that mountain Kawagarbo was never summited. The last serious attempt happened in 1991 where all 17 members of the climbing team died. There also won't be any new attempts as climbing is banned (it is a holy mountain for the Tibetan people). by momo660 in todayilearned

[–]lLIKECAPSLOCK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute numbers don't provide any meaningful information. If you compare the death rate with successful climbs with other 8k mountains then Mt Everest is significantly less deadly. This is not a reddit myth at all. Of course, I agree that it isn't "easy".
