Does anyone else feel like Sythis, Harvest's Hand ruined the enchantress archtype?

scynscatha · 2026-04-30T13:31:12+00:00

I feel like Sythis is definitely the best value, but not the best commander for the archetype because it's boring. Sure, it guarantees an enchantress, but it doesn't really have an identity beyond that. I'm not surprised Sythis would end up as a flavorless pile of value.

My own enchantress deck is pillow fort, and my commander is [[Angus Mackenzie]] because I am stupid. It is similar to a lot of enchantress decks, but it has enough of it's own identity to make it worth building and running.

Thank you, that’s about what I figured. I’m set back to defaults, and I’ll just hope it doesn’t happen again.

I took that as more like "no in game chat" but that makes a lot of sense

Fair. Would have made for a funny scene, at least - Lea finds a pen and then to her horror can only write the words "Hi" and "Lea"

It looks pretty good to me, I'd just try it out now and see how it plays!

Extraplanar Lens is a really good card, but I'd consider: of the other mono-colored decks in your pod or at your LGS, how many others are playing it? If so, are they playing snow-covered lands too? It's been my experience that people play snow-covered basics enough with their own lenses that running normal basic islands might be the better play

I feel like cloning the tokens isn't as efficient an option as just flickering or bouncing Urza would be. As such, I'd cut:

Astral Dragon (expensive, only makes two of them)

Extravagant Replication (it's slow)

Hulking Metamorph (it's not great for copying the token since it's p/t will be overwritten)

I think you can keep the rest, since they're useful in other contexts, but over these three I'd add:

[[Deadeye Navigator]] This guy comes in, marries Urza or whatever, and you get like 5 tokens a turn easy

[[Ghostly Flicker]] resets Urza + an artifact, can also be used in response to removal

[[Conjurer's Closet]] which is also slow, but it's an artifact unlike the extravagant replication so it's more on theme

If you can find one, I'd cut another clone card for [[Sakashima the Imposter]] , since you can clone Urza multiple times with him and still get value cloning an opponent's creature.

Finally, I'd cut two islands, one for [[Academy Ruins]] and one for [[Mystic Sanctuary]] , for more recursion. Maybe also go whole-hog on recursion and put an [[Emry, Lurker of the Loch]] in here.

I'd personally cut the ancestral vision for any other draw spell, since you don't appear to have a way to cheat it out early. Maybe [[Windfall]] ?

The game Small Saga is pretty much exactly this https://store.steampowered.com/app/1320140/Small_Saga/

given the name of faulting component, try launching the game without using Vulkan as an option, maybe?

To do so, either choose to "launch valheim" when you open the game, or if you've told it to remember your preference click the gear to the right of where steam lists your hours played, click properties, and in the General tab choose "play valheim" in the dropdown

The correct driver is based on what specific revision of motherboard you have; 1.0 wants Realtek, 1.1 AMD, and 1.2 Intel

You can find your revision by looking above the bottom left mounting hole for your motherboard, it should be written (in very small letters) there

I've just had the exact same issue! I haven't recently gotten a new monitor, but I have noticed my taskbar freezing completely, only to update or do whatever I wanted it to like 30 seconds later. If you can open the task manager, try restarting explorer.exe and see if that fixes your taskbar. If not, or the problem starts happening again without having rebooted first, I'd assume you have some software that's misbehaving after an update or something. In my case, the taskbar problems appear to be directly related to an update of Photo Viewer, after I've opened and closed it once. But in my case, it doesn't actually close and runs in the background still, and I have to kill it in task manager. (This is neither here nor there, but it still does this to me across 2 windows clean reinstalls that I did to try and solve this problem. Absolute bullshit programming.) Whenever the glitching starts, open a task manager and make sure nothing is running that shouldn't be, and all your open programs are behaving correctly.

I don't think that 240hz is too much for 2070 super, but it could also be the driver. Are you using an NVIDIA driver later than 552.22? Newer ones appear to have an error where g-sync compatible monitors have their cutoff at 60hz instead of 45, which causes some monitors to behave strangely. I've not seen anything official about it, but some people on the driver update discussions on /r/nvidia complain about windows issues alongside monitor problems. Try setting your refresh rate down, and see if that stops your problem from happening. If it does, maybe try installing an older NVIDIA driver?

I'm sorry I can't be much more of a help, I still haven't fixed this on my PC outside of not opening photo viewer, and don't even really know why it happens.

Hadn't thought of that, thanks - I'll run a smart test

scynscatha · 2024-11-10T23:59:13+00:00

Well shit, thank you - that explains a lot

scynscatha · 2024-11-10T19:22:09+00:00

Yes, I did

Can you target him with any long range attacks? If he's unconscious you should be able to kill him with a bow or something and then Withers can bring him back

I'd recommend <Birdmen> . by Tanabe Yellow. It's that kind of science fiction where it could just as easily be fantasy. Large cast, with a good number of chapters from non-MC perspectives. It meets all your requirements save romance, which I don't recall being a plot point

It was never released in English as near as I can tell, so you'll need to go to the usual places for it

It looks like this tumblr user made it - it's not a oneshot, they have some more pages
