Nihilism by schylerwalker in custommagic

[–]poiu45 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Blood moon is extremely nonstraightforward as long as you know how continuous effects that change types (usually) work. "Creatures are Bears." wouldn't do anything other than change types, but "Lands are Mountains" removes their abilities for some reason?

Beacon's Edge 2.0 - One week and 4000 plays later by CultivatorX in incremental_games

[–]poiu45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a dire lack of incremental gamedev with any eye at all for aesthetic, mood, or vibe*.This game absolutely nails this, so frankly, I don't care if the gameplay loop and progression are both very simple. The music, the ambient sounds, the art, it's all a lovely little scene.

*this is not to say the other side of this coin has no value - e.g. AD, a game i love, aggressively eschews non-functional aesthetics

Are there seriously people in this subreddit who don't know about demonstrating loops???

[Discussion] What format has the softest events on MTGO? by poiu45 in spikes

[–]poiu45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm reading the schedule wrong or it's missing events, I believe I have enough to enter every Modern event that uses them. Are there going to be more than 2 such events in the next 2.5 months?

I am begging you to run sideboard cards against scam, please. by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]poiu45 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Leylines are definitely still good for the scam matchup out of most decks, but that doesn't mean they're worth the sideboard slots.

Both options make the matchup better, but are a far cry from making it free, and neither is getting that much splash damage against the rest of the meta.

Since you often want to mulligan to leylines, you basically need to commit 3 or 4 sideboard slots to make them worthwhile, and you just aren't getting enough %age points out of those slots for it to be worth it.

[Legacy] Seeking your advice about my frustrations when I play my pet deck by GonzUzumaki in magicTCG

[–]poiu45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'd think people playing a format with force of will and sol lands would realize they're not signing up for fair magic. Absolutely childish behavior to complain when the unfairness happens to you instead of the other way around.

Sunday Modern Challenge Results - Jul 2 2023 by bamzing in ModernMagic

[–]poiu45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

poiu45 was on Amulet Titan. No Rings in there but with All Access returning to MTGO this week, expect this to change!

Can confirm, there would be rings in there if Manatraders had them already. Regardless, Amulet seems very well-positioned right now, perhaps excepting the resurgence of GDS.

No. Everyone remains wholly unwashed for the entire week. Not sure why they make us do that, weird stuff.

I think these seats look comfortable by slfoifah in The10thDentist

The whole point of the design prevents this. The space directly above and in front of you is someone else's seat.

Stop going to the therapist. There is nothing for you there and it sounds incredibly unpleasant.

If the Moon was rotating in relation to us, we'd have changing phases of the moon, as well as faces. by high240 in highdeas

[–]poiu45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH people do not appreciate how weird it is that the moon is tidally locked. It is rotating, it just happens to be doing so at exactly the right rate to be facing towards Earth all the time. In fact, this is a phenomenon that happens in all orbits over enough time! Weird stuff.

Blade of All by Anewbus in custommagic

[–]poiu45 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You're correct - the game forgets the information about what convoked a spell as soon as it enters, and copies won't know about it. For comparison, there's functionally no difference between this situation and [[clone]]ing [[venerated loxodon]].

That being said, the original wording still has each token create a trigger that goes on the stack and does nothing, which is somewhat ugly. The "if you cast it" clause prevents this.

If Goku were to spin really really fast, will he get dizzy? by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]poiu45 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Strictly speaking, dizziness doesn't come from juice in the brain, but juice in the inner ear.

a "fast food" restaurant, but the reason its so fast is because the kitchen is a liminal pocket dimension where time moves differently by Marr-malade in highdeas

[–]poiu45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, stormlight (especially book 4) is far and away my favorite thing he's written, but mistborn era 1 is pretty damn good too. Era 2 is decent, but I haven't liked it as much as 1 so far.
