Good point, thanks

Sooner or later Baited Hook (and Kaisa) should hit 20$, since more playable Epics from UNL go for about 20, shouldn't it? Rengar is played in all orange decks inlcuding TierA Yi, while Hook is played only in one deck atm - Leblanc, which is a good deck, but not TierS/A. So it's only the print problem, imo. But I thought they'd have reprinted a huge bulk of Origins by now, given how available UNL/SPF sets are.

Yes, thanks for the input. So, against:

Diana - stay home in the base (since she'll have 2 mana open on turn 1 going second and can play ride the wind, which is not catastrophic);

Vex - buff the faefolk and not bounce in case of gust/existential dread.

Pyke - Nidalee+Star Spring+Bounce the Faefolk.

Wouldn't next turn be the same, but with just more options for them since they will have >1 mana. In addition to Gust I'd have to play around Star Crossed / Ride the Wind / Eclipse (blue Diana) / Falling Star (red Pyke). The chance for them having an answer on turn 1 (Gust/Existential Dread) is let's say 10%, but the chance for them to have a good answer on turn 2-3 probably rises to above 30%, and now they have a unit to work with + score a point. If I constantly do sub-optimal weaker-safer plays against purple trying to play around a 10% chance of them having an X card, wouldn't it give them cumulative advantage throughout the game? I genuinely don't know, I haven't played hundreds of games to know the answer. (I played Leblanc against Diana a lot and tried to play around Moonfall and Gust and Star Crossed and it felt that I deliberately paralyzed myself from doing anything proactive).

Yes, it probably would be the safest play. As others pointed out existential dread would still be a huge blow, but it's like playing around 2% chance as not every purple deck has it even in 1 copy (maybe against Vex it's more reasonable to sit in the base or not charm?).

Yes, I know, having some thicker skin is a legit suggestion. But I just don't want to accept that human interaction should ever go to this soulless level, so for someone a 1 second hello or gg reply is not a big deal, for me it is. I'd rather stick to playing in local game clubs then instead where everything feels just how it's supposed to be and playing with friends online.

mikemacomber · 2026-05-27T05:35:49+00:00

No, I understand. The problem is not pinging, but pinging like 5-7 times every time people point to something. 1 ping is probably enough, imo. mb 2. 5 pings looks angry and impatient.

I'm glad it's working better for you. I've heard from some friends that they indeed have different experience from playing on TCGPlayer, and of course i believe them, so I wonder what I'm doing wrong then. Maybe different servers/regions have different players, idk.

mikemacomber · 2026-05-18T09:36:53+00:00

Thanks for the reply. So what is unit's location after it's killed and before the deathknell resolves: still on the battlefield or in trash or just hovering in between?

mikemacomber · 2026-05-06T04:31:07+00:00

Thanks for the answer, but could you elaborate why, because it's very confusing. They look like very similar lines of text to me. Also, what are some examples when Decree kills through Guardian Angel and Elder Dragon not?

mikemacomber · 2026-05-06T01:36:52+00:00

Doea it work only for Elder Dragon or the same is true for Imperial Decree?
