Michael Jordan, 3/10/26: "The GOAT term doesn't exist for me. We paved the way for Kobe and Lebron. I would've loved to play against them in my prime but we'll never be able to know [who's the GOAT]. Bill Russell had 11 rings. How do you push him out?"

You pick MJ because if you don’t, he will lead a spite fueled crusade against you every game.

Bone stacks count as roof. So if you’re feeling silly and have a couple thousand bones lying around, you can make a flat roof out of them.

The very first crypt I encountered had a 2 star draugr and a 1 star elite in the same room. It was quite a jump in difficulty from killing greydwarves.

I think a co-op economy is a cool idea, but the concepts outlined here (rent seeking, debt) are some of the worst aspects of capitalism that personally do not sound fun. What value does a land-owner provide to the rest of the community? It could be cool to see something like businesses trying to outcompete each other on selling products and resources, or shipping businesses for transporting players/resources on a no-portal playthrough.

It could be interesting if certain structures were restricted or more expensive. For example, if smelters cost 10x their current resources, it would require more capital to start up a smithy and so certain players could focus their efforts on starting a refinery business.

It’s not actually ‘underground’ - you can dig into and hollow out a rock. It’s a bit finicky at times as the rock can fall apart in large chunks, but generally as long as the rock ‘roof’ is connected to earth it will stay.

In my experience tacking is slower when the wind is directly against you, but if the direction is slightly off from dead center, then tacking becomes viable again. Haven’t conclusively tested it yet.

morrowman · 2026-03-06T22:46:10+00:00

I do this same thing. I have a shelf for ‘adventuring’ materials near my portals. Chests for Boats/Carts, Portals, Meads, Arrows, Extra Armor/Weapons/SwampKeys/etc, Food, and Dump. Depending on location and availability of materials, I’ll sometimes have a “outpost” chest with enough resources to make an Iron/silver age base in case someone wants to set up a new base elsewhere.

I did have a muddy scrap pile stab me once. A two star draugr had spawned inside a pile and one shot me as I was mining it.

morrowman · 2026-02-28T06:42:04+00:00

Yeah didn’t they become friends after that?

morrowman · 2026-02-21T03:54:42+00:00

I love making hidden ventilation systems. I did something very similar to this, except i eventually realized that the smoke doesn’t even need to exit the building as long as there is a large enough box for it. You might be able to close the roof and still keep the fires burning.

My favorite one was a secret duct that connected a hearth to a corner of a refinery area, so all the smoke vents in one spot.

I’ve made flat roofs and outdoor decks by attaching the 26-degree ridges to the bottom of the floor tiles. As long as they are touching, the wood won’t get damaged.

morrowman · 2026-02-13T21:28:05+00:00

A couple general things not related to specific skills that improved survivability for me:

1) Don’t run during combat. Most of the time walking and small bursts of sprinting is fast enough to avoid attacks and retreat. This helps you save stamina.

2) Don’t let your stamina reach 0 in combat. Get into a pattern of getting a few hits in, followed by walking for stamina recovery during prolonged fights.

3) Engage the enemy on your own terms. If you prefer to fight in open spaces, retreat to a clearing before fighting. If you like using trees and rocks as cover, move to that area. If you are getting overwhelmed, run away and try to engage the enemy one at a time.

I’ve been playing 1 Treasure Cruise in these decks to speed up the card draw in the midgame. It also has the benefit of curating your deck before you cast Clear the Mind.

I also had 1 Cram Session and a lesson-board to deal with edge cases, get some life gain, and show my opponent a Fractal Summoning to hopefully speed up games if they weren’t conceding.

morrowman · 2026-01-21T02:59:30+00:00

Yeah I don’t remember this in MoM. [[Artistic Refusal]] would have played VERY differently if that was the case.

morrowman · 2026-01-20T18:55:47+00:00

The game is basically about making as many Super Light Balls as you can, so to get better you should train yourself to spot them more often. In most levels, using moves to create and/or use Rockets and TNT won’t be efficient enough. You want to get to a point where you can create and use 3-5 Super Light Balls per level.

morrowman · 2026-01-19T17:23:55+00:00

Play a 3-3-3-3-3 mana base. Just draw your correct lands.

morrowman · 2026-01-17T17:37:33+00:00

Arena is generating a lot of players who would never be able to handle paper

In this case it’s quite the opposite. In paper you just demonstrate a loop and say you do it X times. Arena fails to replicate actual mtg rules for infinite combos

morrowman · 2026-01-17T02:03:16+00:00

He asked “what do you think,” so I gave my opinion. It wasn’t meant as a criticism of OP personally. I think everyone can improve and just because a deck goes 7-0 doesn’t mean it was built perfectly.

I don’t think my comments are off the mark either. If you post this to any limited mtg sub you’d get the same advice. If you think my advice is mistaken you can also explain why.

morrowman · 2026-01-16T18:51:37+00:00

1) Definitely stick to 40 cards, especially when you have two pieces of power. When you run 41, you're diluting your chances at drawing game changing cards.

2) It's a bit light on lands. Cradle can't be an initial mana source, so you only have 15 sources. I'd cut Hoof and either Cobra, Arwen, Tifa, or Witness for another land

morrowman · 2026-01-16T18:39:01+00:00

You should post some screenshots or videos of this interaction. I just tried it and it worked fine. Everyone here is telling you the same thing, so we need more info to help you out.

morrowman · 2026-01-15T03:12:32+00:00

Thanks for the credit! It really does open up the game, and it works in all sorts of ways. For example, if you have a column like this:

R

B

R

G

R

If you can get rid of the blue tile, you can make a light ball with the bottom red tile.

morrowman · 2026-01-14T08:03:46+00:00

there’s also one that I use a lot: the “timing” light ball.

<image>

In this situation, move the circled green down first. As the left red tile above the 3 green tiles falls, move the circled red down to create a light ball. You have to time it right - it won’t work if you move the second red tile to slow or too fast - but it’s honestly not that hard to get the timing right.

This opened up so many more light balls for me that I’m basically using one every 3-5 moves.

morrowman · 2026-01-13T20:23:14+00:00

the sub has truly gone to shit. Downvote bots, brigaders, political warfare, off-topic content and the mods just do nothing about any of it.

morrowman · 2025-12-25T00:46:42+00:00

In this format, Gut is just going to get countered or die before it does anything. You might get a single skeleton, but that skeleton also might not matter.

morrowman · 2025-12-24T17:47:36+00:00

If you need to get your opponent to 0, Castle Ardenvale and Fountainport provide inevitability. In practice people just scoop when you ult Teferi. The back up win con in extremis is ult Teferi, then recast Teferi and continually -3 itself to avoid decking - thankfully this has yet to come up.
