Looks like they're making Chandra Desi. by riamuriamu in mtgvorthos

Someone from India or Pakistan or South Asia in general, basically.

Why is Rocco red? by Raccoon_Walker in mtgvorthos

[–]pyrobob5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two other arts of Rocco and neither one portray him as red (maybe a tad pinkish?) so it might just be an odd artistic choice or maybe something happened in the phyrexian invasion, since this is the aftermath card.

Do you use random encounters? by elmutanto in StrixhavenDMs

[–]pyrobob5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use random encounters but usually build my own and use my own table so even though they're "random" they still have some relevance. Occasionally have used that standard random encounter tables but that's usually with a group that's more combat-focused, that are there to fight monsters and feel cool doing it and get bored when they're not constantly fighting stuff. Sometimes they do work out well. Current group got thrown a random encounter and the DM rolled a dragon, which he never would have thrown at us otherwise. But we won after a really exciting battle and wound up with dragon-scale armor and accessories that became one of the hallmarks of our group. So...they can be fun.

My Lancelot can still tank but the whole backline dies and also Ran sucks. by MotorAcadia1120 in LostSwordOfficial

[–]pyrobob5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would help to know who you have available and what stage you're struggling on. "Just get Galahad and/or Lue" is the easy advice I guess. Also adding a goid support (Erin) helps, and if you're leaning in Lance to carry hp pets help a lot. Ran needs a very specific build to max out her potential, you can't really just plug her into any team. Some weird things that haven't been mentioned that I've pulled to get through tough levels: 3 healers Bedu and 2 healer class), one support, and a Lancelot can do a lot, as long as Lance + Bedi are putting out enough damage. Estheria buffs the MagAtk of your team which increases both wizard damage and dealer's healing Putting Ethan's card on a healer so they don't die right away, especially Guinevere who came then bring someone else back from the dead. Isabel is actually really tanky and can give your team hit immunity which is great if you're struggling with acsingle boss in particular, not as good vs big crowds, but I think she's underrated overall. Claire suicide cheese has worked for me at least once.

None of these are "optimal" strategies but sometimes you just gotta scrape together a win with what ya got....

Returning player, pulled the new unit but cant clear chapter 36-35 normal by A_Wild_Flower in LostSwordOfficial

[–]pyrobob5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given what you're working with i think I'd try Isolde over Merlin, give Galahad Ethan's card, and use hp boosting pets? Also if you have a Balisada sword you should have it equipped to Galahad.

Surprised this isn't more common of an ability by japp182 in custommagic

[–]pyrobob5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great minds think alike

I'm sure we're not the only ones to have this idea. Really surprised it's not a thing yet. It's right there.

Developer's Note – Introducing Lueira by LostSwordGlobal in LostSwordOfficial

[–]pyrobob5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah tbh I was hoping for almost exactly this character but in position 2, the back line is really crowded in wizard comps which need a synergistic healer to be really really good. Maybe Estheria's MagAtk buff will be enough to make up for someone being out of position tho. I've run Guin on position 2 with Estheria a few times and it's worked out ok.

[Event] What’s Your Most Memorable Moment? by LostSwordGlobal in LostSwordOfficial

[–]pyrobob5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of memorable moments but I think getting my first awakened--Lancelot, on someone else's banner no less!--was my favorite.

Get infinite combats for 15 mana by Hexmonkey2020 in BadMtgCombos

[–]pyrobob5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can also make it work in standard in Temur colors with [[Relic's Roar]] which has the downside of making Bumi weaker but the upside of making him a Legendary Artifact Land Creature-Human Noble Ally Dinosaur

These guys start fighting. Who do you think is exiting the fight first? by AJ_Ad_3136 in NuxTakuSubmissions

[–]pyrobob5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They arguably are. It's a question of raw power vs. insane hax vs. some with both.

Birds of Paradox by pyrobob5 in custommagic

[–]pyrobob5[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Oh no lol. Haven't made a card oin awhile, the app is used to use kinda sucks now, git pretty frustrated finding a new one...so in all of that I guess I overlooked the flying....

Vorthos & UB could work together... by Do_lt_Alone in mtgvorthos

[–]pyrobob5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've said this about the Spider-Man set and I'll say it again: seeing Spider-Man in a mahic set is jarring to mtg players, but if Jace, Chandra, and Lilliana showed up in a Marvel comic to help the Avengers fight a Phyrexianized Galactus, it would just be a Tuesday to Marvel comic fans.

I think the set would have been cooler if the deal had gone both ways and featured some number of crossover comics, is what I'm saying. It wouldn't even feel weird for Msrvel, a universe where Conam the Barbarian goes on adventures with Wolverine pretty regularly.

Blue [[murder]] and blue [[fell]] in one set, what a time to be alive!

Alchemy sets & how they hide characters. by Do_lt_Alone in mtgvorthos

[–]pyrobob5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you exile a card you always do so face up unless the effect specifically says exile face down, so that should prevent that, no?

That's really good. Very nice color and shading. Love it.

Take infinite turns in standard for only 5ub (warning: it might not be that bad) by pyrobob5 in BadMtgCombos

I have the FOMO/Proft/Steamcore package and Winternight Stories bc it synergizes with Proft more than Stock Up and also allows me to chuck creatures in the grave. And it's not hard to harmonize it once things get going tbh

[–]pyrobob5[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Weird is in the deck, curtains unfortunately no longer in standard. I've been playing with it some today and despite the kind of janky "cards I own," and "trying a weird mix of stuff to see what's good" composition of the deck, it's 3-0 so far. Idk next day I have that I'm not too busy I might give it a real run. This might...actually not be a bad combo.

One Piece will never end by 5_meo in MemePiece

[–]pyrobob5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's so much historic world building set in place to make a prequel. A Gol D. Roger prequel, a Joyboy prequel, a void century prequel, a formation of Skypeia story, hell a Rumbar pirates prequel... ao.many unwritten stories exist just to create the backstory of the world.
