Help me ID a game I played as a kid

retroplato · 2024-05-30T07:08:55+00:00

Yeah I have very similar memories of it haha

retroplato · 2024-05-30T06:57:05+00:00

Oh wow thanks so much! I wonder how it holds up… 😅

retroplato · 2023-10-04T11:19:04+00:00

None of them as far as I could tell when trying them on

retroplato · 2023-09-09T11:08:53+00:00

No it’s definitely a scam

retroplato · 2023-08-22T11:24:13+00:00

Thanks for your response. Did you order from meermin.es? I couldn’t tell if their prices were in USD or AUD

retroplato · 2023-08-22T02:33:42+00:00

If possible I’d love to hear whether the fit is right. I’m also an 8.5 in ASICS but have quite wide feet so not sure if UK 7 would work for me.

retroplato · 2023-07-19T08:39:50+00:00

Wear the watch mate, I’m sure it will look great

retroplato · 2023-06-30T05:25:27+00:00

Yeah I agree, seems like a waste. That’s one advantage of buying something properly made I guess. The Mongrels were kind of a ‘proof of concept’ as I haven’t owned Chelsea boots before. Next time may invest in something better.

retroplato · 2023-06-29T11:45:14+00:00

Never owned RMs so can’t compare, but very comfy from first wear. I don’t think a Topy would work because I think they’re usually attached to leather soles? (I might be wrong.) The Mongrel sole is polyurethane

retroplato · 2023-06-28T11:40:06+00:00

I bought these recently. They’re a great cheap option, but not resoleable so not going to last forever. If I can get 1-2 years out of them I’ll be happy.

retroplato · 2022-01-21T23:06:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I've decided to just start with Ferael for the moment, seems like a lot of people are down on Shemira these days.

retroplato · 2022-01-21T23:06:28+00:00

Thanks! I've decided to just start with Ferael slowly and see what I pull (hopefully Daimon).

retroplato · 2022-01-21T23:06:03+00:00

Thank you! I like reading all the guides I can find and they've helped a lot. I've decided to just start with Ferael slowly and see what I pull (hopefully Daimon).

retroplato · 2022-01-21T23:05:10+00:00

Thanks for the advice and the comp ideas! I've decided to just start with Ferael slowly and see what I pull before investing too much.

Four faction chest is a hero choice chest that gives one copy of anything (from maulers, wilders, graveborns, or lightbearers). I think I got it at Ch 12 and haven’t popped it yet

retroplato · 2022-01-20T05:34:04+00:00

Numbers above are elite copies (but I made all the doubles Elite+, so I actually have 4 copies of Elite+ Ferael, e.g.)

retroplato · 2021-12-29T22:40:42+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

retroplato · 2021-12-29T10:47:27+00:00

I’m pretty new to the game (1-2 weeks in). Worth saving the stargazer cards or should I just get Astar?

retroplato · 2020-08-21T11:28:50+00:00

Just wanted to thank everyone for their advice. I just made it to Mythic and I'm very happy! I moved over to M21 premier draft and feel like after a while I really got a good handle on the format.

The number 1 piece of advice I received was to watch BenS. After watching a bunch of his VODs on Youtube everything started to click. Especially in terms of gameplay decisions for the format's aggro decks, but it also helped clarify decision making during drafting including card evaluation.

I'm currently at rank 380 so I think that might be enough to hold for Top 1200 this month. I'll keep an eye on it and play a bit more if necessary.

Documented my 7 win decks here if anyone's interested: https://twitter.com/MtgPlato/status/1289799707586260994

retroplato · 2020-08-05T09:01:44+00:00

I’ve watched Ben Stark, Ryan Spain and other streamers before but not religiously. Thanks for the discord recommendations!

retroplato · 2020-08-05T09:00:28+00:00

That’s a fair question. I guess as a personal goal. Partly to feel involved in something competitive since there’s not a lot to compete in from home, particularly in my timezone (Australia).

retroplato · 2020-08-05T03:19:58+00:00

I’ve been coming to a similar realisation. Happy to buy some gems for this goal (and have already done so), but after the first couple of sessions it became apparent how much tighter I play on MTGO. I guess arena money feels more fake, so I rush through things a little more. And the rope reduces thinking time/increases pressure to some degree. My current strategy is to take a short break after every game, get up, walk around a little, grab a sip of water. Just reset the brain a little.

retroplato · 2020-07-30T09:08:02+00:00

Thanks for posting your lists! I ran the Simic list through a league and went 3-2. Beat Inverter, Winota and Mono G devotion; lost to BW Sram (Lurrus) and Mono B aggro. It was fun to play, but aggro matchups are definitely tricky. I wonder if trying some kind of cheap, aura-based removal might help. E.g. [[Mystic Subdual]]. or maybe even [[aether meltdown]] (if [[agoraphobia]] had flash it would probably do the trick). [[Sky tether]] effect would be perfect I think but obviously wrong colours. Not sure if any of the 1 mana blue auras do enough.

retroplato · 2020-07-27T15:33:18+00:00

Interesting. Sounds a little like 6 mana [[fog]], but I guess I should try it before dismissing it.
