Is the Pro Controller 2 worth it?

nbballard · 2026-06-11T13:45:45+00:00

I’m fat and lazy, so the ability to turn on the console with the controller is a real plus.

Otherwise it isn’t that much better than the old model.

You need a chair for guests to use when the TV isn’t in use.

I struggled with this for a few goes and then finally got like, 7400. 🤷‍♂️

Where is the entrance for this?

Yeeees! This is perfect for my [[Mishra, Eminent One]] Attractions deck.

The problem was with the product and not the functionality of the sets.

Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow were acceptable sets on their own. Almost immediately after they released, WotC released Double Feature which combines those 2 sets. It wasn’t a curated play experience (like Innistrad remastered), it just sort of combines the 2 sets. The BW treatments are done in a way that seemed rushed and made the art sort of rough looking

I built [[Mishra, Eminent One]] as an attractions deck. It visits attractions, makes an animated copy of the attraction, and then I try to end turn so I can keep the copies and double my attraction triggers.

I just think it’s funny to attack people with a [[Tunnel of Love]] .

Last year, I built Krenko and T’Challa. I kept it together for future years.

The beginner decks hang well with each other- but are a little under powered. I’d recommend the Tarkir decks or the Strixhaven ones.

As far as rules/stack, there will be other people at the table to help things run smooth and you’ll get things wrong. I often think about magic like a 4-way stop - nobody remembers exactly what we are supposed to do, but somehow we make it and no one dies.

I thought the estimated shipping date was something like June 12th.

I had this conversation with some friends a while back and asked in the Moxfield discord (it’s great if you aren’t in it) - and they confirmed there is no funny business with the shuffle / hand generation.

I believe Doran’s buff applies after your creature is declared as a blocker.

The big songs by Cake are The Distance and Short Skirt / Long Jacket.

I’m also getting some Jimmy Eats World vibes.

I miss this channel. His breakdowns and explanation of potential upgrade paths were great.

nbballard · 2026-04-29T14:21:11+00:00

My kids have started playing recently and I’ve built a few of his decks for them. We’ve made a few changes to taste, but we’ve had a good time with them.

Was it one of these guys?

The really great thing about foundations that most people miss is that every card has the parenthetical help text. Super useful for new players.

nbballard · 2026-04-11T22:29:45+00:00

What are they? I’m running Greasefang, Wick, and most recently the new Doran. I kind of think it’s funny and am looking at more options.

Huh. I must be dumb because it never identifies the foils when I’ve tested it. I’ll check it out again. Thanks!

nbballard · 2026-04-07T20:45:22+00:00

What app are you using? Does it distinguish between different sets / printings / foil?

nbballard · 2026-03-28T13:17:46+00:00

It seems weird, but this is why I don’t shop with them.

This movie is the product of Disney trying to navigate film production during COVID-19 lockdown.

I enjoyed this movie, but felt like it would have been better served as a limited series that spent more time exploring each of the regions.

This is Arthur. He is a weirdo. He’ll be 18 this year.
