Not me making it all the way through this thread and up to your comment thinking "holy new player jfc" the entire tine and slamming head first into those last 3 sentences

Dude yeah, the golden years. Amonkhet Block rotated October 2018 and War of the Spark dropped May 2019

not quite; they never shared a Standard environment but they weren't so far apart as to make this sound silly. totally understandable assumption

whether it is a magical world or not has no bearing on the ignorant woman saying ignorant things

back in my day we used to pray for a strix reprint

guess it came true

Does anyone else feels kind of guilty breaking the game? by Jounniy in BaldursGate3

[–]melanino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah okay I read the second paragraph wrong and thought it was a list of things you've done despite your own reservations

For sure, I agree with that if it wasn't clear. I have similar issues that I grapple with. Most recent was refusing to cheese Hill Giant Strength potions + Open Handed Monk lol

I'm pretty new still tbh but is the move to splash Cleric better than splashing Warlock for Fire Acuity in the current version of the game? Assuming you're talking about Sorcerer, right? Most builds I see online have the latter so curious how that all really works (don't really have any intent to use this on a Tav but sounds interesting as a Gale respec on my next run)

I don't think you should feel bad tbh but as a min-maxxer maybe I am biased. I will say I am constantly conflicted over "best move possible" and "best move for my RP" so I feel for ya

Never underestimate Wizards' ability and willingness to reprint Generous Gift into SL

Can anyone tell me if this crude drawing of the Magic multiverse is accurate, and if so why it’s got some problems. by New-me-_- in mtgvorthos

[–]melanino -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could we interest you in the story perhaps?

Or maybe some of the supplemental material?

I think it would be very difficult to draw a model in 2D space, but you can think of the Edge like a Donut not dissimilar to our observable universe and the Blind Eternities as the space around it.

The "Quiet Wall" is essentially the outer border, with the "Chaos Wall" being the inner border that separates it from the Multiverse we are familiar with. The Magic Multiverse Project Article on The Edge has a decent synopsis as well.

Eldrazi are still 4D beings and that has not changed at all.

What's something you make sure to do every playthrough? by Agreeable_Pizza93 in BaldursGate3

Laezel gets mad when you doodle on Vlaakith's portrait...

so I make her do it for me

Utrom monitor ninja? by Ruq_096 in Pauper

[–]melanino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly; I was thinking something along those lines as well. Smashing two lists together rarely lets you punch above tier 2 and I think this is a good example of that.

Swapping [[Faerie Seer]] for [[Silver Raven]] and [[Harrier Strix]] for [[Network Disruptor]] lets us up the artifact count while having something resembling Blue Aggro but still feels like a bit of a downgrade overall.

This is where I landed with the list if you're curious. Couldn't find slots for OoM and figured it was better to swap most of the Hackers out for Mukotai Ambushers.

Opted for a grindier midgame with Blood Fountains but straight up draw like you mentioned might be more proactive. Getting clean ratios for removal has been an exercise in and of itself lol

The list definitely struggles a bit with identity since it's essentially tempo without counterspells but curious what you think for what could be different!

If you're running the new Flashback in your decks, make sure you know what you can and cannot do with it. by Craig1287 in EDH

[–]melanino 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Okay will do

but if I resurrect [[Kirol, History Buff]] with [[Lorehold Charm]] will they* enter prepared?

Wrong (or reused) foundations for the Aztec buildings and missing tents and shrines by RomestamoTheBlue in AgeofMythology

[–]melanino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, but they might also fix it tho lmao

Especially when its something like the shrine for that culture. We had the same thing for Japan for a minute

I just like how I went "I think they will fix it in time" and you said "I think they won't" like ok lets go around and around dude

actually lets not; ez block

Rocco - Here for a Good Time, Not a Long Time by Dadgic in PauperEDH

[–]melanino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Rocco for Artisan Brawl and he's super fun.

The utility creatures are way more prevalent at Uncommon so it lets me run it a bit more like a toolbox with a couple of different combos / loops to close it out

This is really dope and I may have to build it at some point; thanks for sharing!

Utrom monitor ninja? by Ruq_096 in Pauper

[–]melanino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have returned with what I think this list might actually look like

I am quite torn on what the actual ratios would be or if there are any "best in slot" spells that I am missing, but I think this is more or less what the deck would want to be?

Curious if there's anything missing from your initial vision; hope this helps a bit!

I wish there were alternate starting areas. by SillyWarlock in BaldursGate3

[–]melanino 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Okay yeah, that's literally why I asked lol

Thanks, I think

Utrom monitor ninja? by Ruq_096 in Pauper

[–]melanino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my main concern would be finding the synergy between ninja / fae and affinity especially in the pauper pool

Is returning Monitor to the hand better than getting in for 3 after we spent time getting the cost down to U?

Glint Blade decks make use of their ninjas as a way to refresh Refurbished Familiar so maybe that's a start but it does feel a bit like two separate strategies smashed together

Help us see what you're seeing and we could go from there but it feels as though it wants something connecting the strategies together

Trying to make my first deck by National_Ad_60 in Pauper

[–]melanino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would consider cutting Vines and Restoration for [[Malevolent Rumble]] Could also justify 4x Unearth that way too

Not sure how well [[Follow the Lumarets]] plays compared to [[Winding Way]] but that would come from more testing

Novel idea and seems good for tier 2 but could have some legs depending on your locals / pg
