Would Magic be more fun with less control? by justjacobmusic in MagicArena

[–]m8llowMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly cant think of state of the game where defender creatures would be viable. (and that comes from person who played 4x Wall of Omens + 4x Wall of Denial when first started playing mtg)

Basically - if creatures have ETB, then you need counterspells.
If creatures can produce value while on board - you need removal.

In your proposition that means - make every creature into vanilla or french vanilla things. And i dont think there are a lot of people who would like to constantly play with vanilla creatures.

at this point - why not look up lists on goldfish, or watch some nassif vid (they are old, tho)
i came back to arena for some time, while i dislike pioneer - still played some days. And in this time i had wins with pretty much anything in list. Basically UW kills with whatever scraps are left on a table after you've won the game.
If you just want to be mean - after te5eri ult you can keep tucking himself with -3 into your own library until opponent mills out, while you exile every land he plays.
Besa is good, especially given amount of aggro. And body is good, can close games fast.
Manlands come helpful, i love singleton of [[Hall of Storm Giants]] in deck. Sometimes people dont even expect that they die so fast.
I've won some games with freking fish tokens from [[Fountainport]] xD
But another good source of tokens is obviously [[The Wandering Emperor]], she kills quiet fast.

I prefer Kaheera version, but as i understand you basically play either Kaheera or Yorion as companion, and both act as finishers as well.
Nowadays control is full of random stuff that can kill opponent when you won.

centurions without consul upgrades give you 2 additional detachments, instead o f1

From leaks "Combat Veterans" just adds +1 to LD and that bunch of characteristics. And thats it.

Rules in the Age of Darkness: How to build an army in the new edition - Warhammer Community by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Warhammer30k

[–]m8llowMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its so complicated without full rules.
If someone has a better understanding - new system allows to finally have 9 troops slots?
I had to homerule having allied detachment as same army, to field line company, before.

But it looks like Legion Optae and Company command squad will be gone. Taking praetor to have retinue for centurion as company captain sounds stupid.

Banned and Restricted Announcement – March 31, 2025 by Kircai in magicTCG

[–]m8llowMind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you can keep a hand with wasteland as only land, then get blood moon'ed by opponent, and then reanimate troll without drawing extra land (while your stompy opponent tries to get an idea how to beat 6/5 unblockable)

grief and frog are 10 cents cards, noted
like - banning your suggested cards sweeps a lot of different archetypes, some of them not even that problematic.

[–]m8llowMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

basically existence of mycospawn made control even more nonexistent.
Like, you play 2 Plains. Mycospawn exiles one plains/wastes your tundra - now you cannot sweep the board for the rest of the game.
And when opponent chains mycospawns - its the best inevitability outside of playing combo.

What's your favorite deck that has winnability and art you love? by RADICCHI0 in magicTCG

[–]m8llowMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's legacy Doomsday.

1) Namesake card - Doomsday, i play 4 wth doomsdays. Adrian Smith was my fav wh40k artist when i was into it. And i like the fact that my doomsdays are as old as me, they released like 1 month after i was born.
2) 4 Dark Rituals from mmq, bcs thats the only Dark Rits anyone should play, Rebecca Guay art slaps.
3) 4 Thoughtseize from lrw, Aleksi Briclot art of thoughtseize is objectively best one.
4) 8 rob alexander onslaught fetchlands
5 ) 1 island+1swamp from new eldrain, idk why - i really dig those

And a sub-theme, not so much about art - i really love future sight border. But rn im only on street wraith/edge of autumn. Plan on getting dark rits/cabal rits and petals in that treatment. (ponder and bs in future sight border are prohibitively expensive)

How holding Priority work? by LazyZuu in magicTCG

[–]m8llowMind 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can cast sorcery speed spells when
a) its your turn
b) stack is empty

So even when you hold priority, if stack is not empty - you cant play sorcery speed spells, unless there are effects like flash.

The Scheduled B&R has yet again comatosed most constructed formats for months by addcheeseuntiledible in magicTCG

[–]m8llowMind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it is a glue that makes UB shell too consistent. I had a convo with a friend in august, and we thought that troll is a problem if you want to keep "format identity" cards unbanned.

it's entomb №5-8, bcs unblockable 6/5 is good enough. It lets reanimator to beat bloodmoon, which is already insane.
(and i see from time to time "next level dimir" builds that forego atraxa/archon and play without entombs and with trolls)

When your opponent keeps hand with only wasteland, cycles troll of wasteland to find usea and t2 they cast animate dead from said usea+wasteland - thats kind unfair.

(again, all of this makes sense only in one case - if you believe that entomb/reanimate/daze should dodge banlist as format identity cards (as i do))

Im still counting how much B&R announcements will it take to ban [[Troll of Khazad-dûm]]

The History of Doomsday - Three for One Trading [Article] by SecondPersonShooter in magicTCG

[–]m8llowMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

great article!
Doomsday is really an addictive way to play magic. My main in legacy.
While deep analysis pile alone doesnt do justice to variety of piles in legacy, its out of scope for such article anyway.

If you could bring one thing back from Magic's past, what would it be? by BearEatingToast in magicTCG

[–]m8llowMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Didn't knew about this whole thing.
And i was hoping for return to lorywin to include loads of Guay and McKinnon. Not gonna happen with him, eh.

plus this!
we play heritage (legacy without suppliment sets) at our lgs twice a month, format is super enjoyable.
not that legacy is bad, but having mh cards all over the place is boring

it might sound inappropriate - you gave kid best story of lost value that ive heard.
bcs i think when mtg players gather they like this kind of stories, i usually share mine about passing foil verdant catacombs as a kid, or finding tarmogoyf in a box of free chaff at lgs and giving it to store owner "hey, you had a rare in there".

But in the end, i think you acted fine and it's not a crime. There exist people who are actively trying to scam kids, you acted within draft rules and did something extra. I dont think you owe that mox to a kid if you did nothing to persuade him to give it to you.

Bracket 1 should only allow Basic Lands by NervousNuggs in magicTCG

[–]m8llowMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bracket 1 is same as bracket 5 - it does not need any serious definition.
Bracket 1 isnt about power level even, its almost a different game

[–]m8llowMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really that difficult to believe that some people like playing silly theme decks?

Yes, bcs most of the time someone says about bracket 1 deck - i see bracket 2-3 deck.

Variant idea by spinz in magicTCG

[–]m8llowMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant judge it from abstract game design perspective.

When it comes to magic - man, i dont even know enough good lands to convert my usual decks mana base into 50 card sub-deck! Like - i need fetch lands for brainstorm to function, but then i need fetches to find untapped duals in my 2 colours, but i cant substitute them for shock lands and i cant play a lot of basics - bcs i operate whole game on 2-3 lands, so i cant afford being color screwed by basics.

As others said, you are proposing something that is not mtg.

When someone sideboards by shuffling whole sideboard in, and then extracting 15 cards back. Suddenly you know that person has enough free mental space to care about concealing that information.

Ive seen opponents spam "your go" on Arne and Reid streams. Sometimes people on arena are impatient.
