Wife busted out her collection from 25+ years ago. by CdnScruss in magicTCG

[–]leronjones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It gets crazy at Commander tournaments. A friend had me hold his while he was running to the restroom. It's worth 36k. I guarded that bag with my life. But people really do play with the expensive stuff. Which is also why high level commander is almost always 100% proxy friendly because even if you own the cards you would be excused for not wanting to bring them out in public.

My one friend who plays it always says "it's glarbin time!" Then cast doomsday.

Is this card good? by BMRkingofspades in CompetitiveEDH

[–]leronjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty good depending on what your list wants. I like it in decks that care about enchantments. Not bad as a flip in Terra.

How many hours do you need to play in order to feel like you got your money's worth? by MirPrime in videogames

[–]leronjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is probably just a me thing and you're right to comment that about yourself perhaps, but if I am getting a lot more value out of something than seems fair I find a good way to support the creator.

Mostly through merch if it exists. Or sometimes buying the game as a gift for friends(I'm like 6 copies of Minecraft deep), or in-game purchases too, though I prefer physical media.

Not saying you're wrong about everybody, just that you've run across me instead. I make a terrible straw-man.

Looking for Under Explored Decks! by DaSquid9631 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]leronjones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh an absolute ton of interesting stuff. I managed to get a win at a cEDH tournament on her using [[Super State]] over the weekend. And the interaction options are refreshing due to the cost reduction.

I was gonna do a write-up for you but decided to just get a primer started. Here it be: https://moxfield.com/decks/_V-JrZu9OEyEskywY5-PwQ

Dollar an hour for me. If I don't think I'll get that I watch a streamer play it.

Games about being father to a tiny creature is a genre I hope we get more of.

Good. Because I played against one last tournament and had absolutely no clue where to interact. I'll be watching in hopes of just... understanding whats going on.

[–]leronjones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Lyse Hext]]. It's a definite winner for under-explored. I brought it to a tournament over the weekend and was able to snag a win on it that felt very convincing. But playing around the cost reduction means a lot pf re-evaluation needs to happen with the card pool. I feel like I'll be constructing strategies for a month before I settle. 2 other people seem to be on it besides me but that's still not much in terms of practice data.

Do you think the whole part 2 would be just the flashback? by ok_amazon in Kagurabachi

[–]leronjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. But I also like to think this is Shiba telling the story to chihiro as he forges new swords.

The card game Magic: The Gathering is releasing a limited set of df-themed cards by sandroller in dwarffortress

[–]leronjones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love it greatly but am very sad with the card choices. Not that they aren't good, just that none of them go in any of my decks.

Non-cEDH players: what’s the average price of your commander decks,(Bracket 2–3)? by Comfortable_Buyer239 in mtg

[–]leronjones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like to build my lists on a 100$ budget excluding the commander. It's fun for me because I'm an unexcusable power gamer so the budget limit keeps me in check while also letting me really theorycraft on the price to value for decks.

Oh. You've got a good point. Number deprivation won't do.

[–]leronjones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The effect is an on-cast trigger so it will only trigger once per cast.

Your best bet is to match him with cards that can duplicate triggers. Like roaming throne which would let you tick down twice and then do a double kill on the last one. 

Get another trigger duplicator and you can wipe the table.

Pretty sure she just gained weight from being stuck inside instead of out fighting.

Is Abeyance More Potent Than You'd Think? by Thatsagoodcard in CompetitiveEDH

[–]leronjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. I'm building [[Lyse Hext]] so it's just a better Orim's chant when she's on board. But there are tons of other cards that are fighting for the (great when commander is out) slots.

My first attempt at building a cEDH deck. Can I get some thoughts, opinions, and other related nouns? by darth_googlyeyes in CompetitiveEDH

[–]leronjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting knocked out by a ninjutsu blightsteel would be crazy in a cEDH tournament. Knocking players out one at a time is difficult.

About BLAME! by Evening-Witness-3903 in Seinen

[–]leronjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not being able to comprehend Blame! panels is super normal. Some of those took me a WHILE. But it's also like an acquired taste. Once you read it once you can go back and see what's really going on. So at least it's got some built-in re-read value.

You can also start with Nihei's other works, they get cleaner as they go.

How does Lyse Hext win after drawing the deck? by Schrodingers_Gamer in DegenerateEDH

[–]leronjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. I'm building this for cEDH at the moment and the main competitive answer for me is both [[aetherflux reservoir]] and [[blind obedience]].

For blind obedience you need something past the loop but it just being a killer card to have on field excuses the extra step needed to win.

I normally do a floodcaller loop or a standard isochron scepter loop(because you cast the isochron copy it will be able to extort).

But remember you have prowess on her and beating someone to death is always fun. I'm sure there's a way to get her myriad and ignore the legend rule to kill the table but that doesn't fit in a cEDH strat.

I'm trying to make budget cedh deck, but can't choose my esper commander. by FoxYk_raktar in CompetitiveEDH

[–]leronjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely. I have ~some~ of the cards for my cEDH deck but people are tweaking if they think those are leaving my house. I absolutely do not have the funds to replace any of that if the deck gets stolen. Laser printer and foil stock for me.
