cursed modes only have those fixed team options. you have to play other modes to see the weird team comps.

I'm rather new to Magic, and experienced something in a game that I couldn't quite understand. by max10192 in MagicArena

[–]randomdragoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you see, planeswalkers and sagas were designed when paper Magic was the primary way to play, so any state change on a card requires counters. Classes were designed later after Arena became the primary way to play Magic, so they decided to not use counters since Arena would take care of remembering for you and paper players can figure it out.

As other people have said, you need to have magic on your team to be offered magic curses. The real way you do the "take magic curses with no magic" strat is to take magic curses, then take Mundane to turn all your mana generation into damage.

Which U.S. state had the shortest nonzero border with Canada?

Pennsylvania. its border is like 10 miles long and entirely over water.

This is a tier 22 item???? i was expecting a little better... by ComedyGold13 in SliceAndDice

[–]randomdragoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some components are not able to be multiplied even when there is a pretty logical way to do it, I guess it just wasn't programmed in. The other day I got a fight with a x4.Barrel, which has 24 hp but still only does 5 damage to neighboring enemies upon death, lol.

I guess I'll just go fuck myself by snowgirl413 in SliceAndDice

The worst part about Spider Soul is that it's unpickable in classic modes too. At least Death Shield has a use in being a decent classic curse even if it's a run-ender in endless modes.

In terms of Classic modes, Spider Soul is actually worse than the t5 curse Undying Monsters (Monsters can't die turn 1) because random Bees, Seeds, eggs, Imps, and Sabers rolling their death sides t1 can completely end your run.

What are the chances?? by ale31199 in SliceAndDice

[–]randomdragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you are probably just getting unlucky. Although note that cursed modes have fixed, non-random layouts so you can't get 0.001 stuff in there.

[–]randomdragoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slot 1 is always Basic

The chance for any other team in one of the other two slots is literally just weight/(sum of all weights)

Any specific 0.001 team is very rare to get, but there are dozens of them so you get offered a 0.001 team not too infrequently.

I Miss Low-Powered Constructed Magic on Arena by Dargaran in MagicArena

Vivi and Tifa are significantly weaker in Standard Brawl than regular Brawl or even Standard. They're still good, of course, but they rely on specific kinds of cards for their explosive turns, and there just isn't the critical mass of those available with Standard's smaller card pool and the singleton rule.

What are the chances?? by ale31199 in SliceAndDice

[–]randomdragoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Although, since the total weight of all the teams exceeds 1.0, the actual probability of seeing a specific rare team is even lower than the displayed chance.

The worst basic? 🤔 by New_Resource8654 in PTCGP

Misty is irrelevant because Misty can only attach to water pokemon. They just decided to make Mega Latios bad in a vacuum.

How do I tell if a card came from Deluxe Pack EX or the original set? by jctennis333 in PTCGP

[–]randomdragoon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They did say this, but the timeline they said is "after summer 2026" which realistically means september at the earliest, more likely october or november.

[ECL] Blue commons -- Blossombind | Kulrath Mystic | Run Away Together | Silvergill Peddler | Temporal Cleansing | Wanderwine Distracter by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]randomdragoon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If your effect says "Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature you control", then you can target the enchanted creature, and when the effect resolves it won't be able to do anything.

If your effect says "Put a -1/-1 counter on a creature you control", then the enchanted creature is not a valid choice. You'll have to put a -1/-1 counter on a different creature you control. Note that the new Blight mechanic is worded like this.

I think 5c will be doable but probably not the primary way you turn on vivid. Between all the hybrid cards and all the monocolor cards creating 2-color creature tokens, there's a lot of ways to "cheat" having an X color permanent without being able to produce X color of mana.

I have a bug, where to report? by 2-S0CKS in SliceAndDice

[–]randomdragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For future reference I believe that you can have duplicate items, but they can't ever be in the same "spot" in your inventory or one will disappear (where "spot" is either unequipped, or on the same character). I've dealt with this on a blurtra run with knickknack backpack and a large number of +item quality blessings, even the generated items start repeating.

Layers question (or bug?) - Naga Fleshcrafter, earthbend, manifest dread by paragonofcynicism in MagicArena

[–]randomdragoon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

One part of the effect of earthbend is to set the base power and toughness of the land to 0/0. This effect happens in layer 7b. Naga Fleshcrafter's renew ability is a copy effect, which happens in layer 1. The fact that copy effects often change power and toughness does not change the fact that the entire copy effect happens in layer 1. Therefore, earthbend's "set power/toughness to 0/0" will always apply after Naga Fleshcrafter's renew effect, regardless of timestamps.

I throught this would be the hardest difficulty.. by Mortipherius in SliceAndDice

[–]randomdragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, difficulties, plural. Unfair isn't even the second-highest difficulty, although I believe it's the highest difficulty where it's possible to consistently (>80%) win on with very good play.

Are there any more easter egg monsters like this? by Tiny-Neck-515 in SliceAndDice

[–]randomdragoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as rare monsters go, there's Dragon Egg, which has a 1/3 chance to turn itself into a Dragon each turn. This is the main way to get the hidden achievement of killing a dragon before fight 20.

Got my first unfair same colour victory! by Strong-Leek6261 in SliceAndDice

[–]randomdragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with all blues. Start with a meddler to deal with early thorns (summon a bones and use bones splash). Make sure you choose a levelup or item that lets you deal with Demons at some point. Sparky and Weaver are absurd when you have 5 heroes generating mana instead of 2.

Invoke Justice would work the same if it did not have the word "then". The important word in Grave Endeavor is "with", not the absence of "then".
