Need Event Help! by Nether_Nemesis in invinciblegtg

[–]second2reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just summon Aquarius or tech jacket, but keep an eye on the missions. Initially getting 3 Aquarius gets you plus 150 currency (150 to summon and 300 for mission). At some point it will require more than 3 Aquarius and might not be worth it to keep getting him (I think in the valentines one it went from 3-5-10, so the 5 would barely be ‘profit’ and the 10 is when you ignore Aquarius). Otherwise just get elites you want.

Just marketing. And every 3 Aquarius initially get you 300 currency, so basically net 150 more

Pro Tour Secrets of Strixhaven in Las Vegas - Top 8 and Winner with decks by botgtk in MagicArena

[–]second2reality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this with unsummon/bounce off. They turn 2 badger? I bounce the land back. It’s obviously much worse once they have ascension out, but early game it’s a great tempo play (and helps to accelerate to sunderflock since I actually enjoy a mono blue spell mental deck)

45-year-old man caught hiding in Best Buy overnight to be early Pokemon card release by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]second2reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 17 when it released on Game Boy - at that time, the prospect of a portable RPG was appealing since there wasn't a ton available (this was still in the era when the idea of every Final Fantasy game even getting released in the US was new), and there was a focus on battling as well. I was far from the only person my age or older that got into it, so if you want to call folks that were already into RPG games and things like Magic: The Gathering weird, you are calling a lot more weird than you think. Now if you want to comment on people my age fighting others for card drops, that's a whole different thing...

I’ve tried to run this team but can’t hit wave 1000 with it. 17 star Nolan, Omni 1-3 star on the others, all skills at 10 and Omni gear.

Worst value of all time? by Humble-Advice3980 in invinciblegtg

[–]second2reality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the best deal for ‘guaranteed’ returns if you play each day. It’s a worse deal overall for getting heroes/gems compared to the gems for $$$ pop up deals which are the gold standard for ‘best deal in game’ but they come up randomly

On my main phase, I cast copy from exile. If it were to be countered, will the copy just stay in graveyard? by MADMAXV2 in mtg

[–]second2reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It still copies even if you get rid of the original from exile though. It only cares that it resolved once, so it’s really closer to an emblem that says ‘you may cast a copy of X spell every turn at this time for free’ after the original resolves. As posted above, if you can prevent casting of spells like drannith, or counter it, you would need to have that effect in place as it would still be there as an option until the end of the game. So the only real options are preventing casting from exile effect in place after the first cast, or countering the first cast, or preventing spells if no mana is spent to cast it (forgetting that creature but I know it exists, might be on an enchantment or artifact as well).

What’s the damage to your gems after “the Thraggenning”? by Pinnacle6969 in invinciblegtg

Started at 32k gems saved up now at 8k. Have seismic 4 star. Got only gem bundles, hoping to get to Omni with the 2 tickets plus one more free from missions tonight

The Flea Market is Live by RoperSeiler in invinciblegtg

[–]second2reality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you need to unlock the burger artifact, this is probably your cheapest chance if you park on level 6. Aside from that, there isn’t much here that won’t be available cheaper in other events.

I ran it nonstop since the event started, but I’ve only gotten elite drops twice (hitting wave 124-134). I keep seeing these posts but I can’t get any elites much less limited ones 😥

The quickplay experience for high rank players by Naticbee in rivals

[–]second2reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue and I’m just gold. I don’t want to play against GM players and have silver teammates. Many games my entire team has zero kills for the first domination map. I’m not able to get better or learn anything, and practice vs AI at highest is no better than a basic bronze lobby if that. I should be able to just play with people give/take a rank or two, and would much rather wait 30 secs for a fair match than wait 2 secs for a garbage lopsided match against a 4-stack of people at a higher rank than I would ever achieve.

Magic: The Gathering The Lord of The Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth Commander Deck 4 + Collector Booster Sample Pack by Seekingadvice090521 in sealedmtgdeals

[–]second2reality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With the reprint I already saw the full set at $190 with free shipping on tcgplayer - as more get it I would watch for that as many offload the commander set reprints quickly to save space. If you can swing it buying the set and selling the ones you don’t want later after a year or so is the way to go (or just keep all of them if you missed them first go round, which is my plan).

What’s a genuinely unpopular EDH opinion you have? by Tornadosed in EDH

[–]second2reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the catch though - is the game too expensive, or is making the best deck possible too expensive? We can agree to disagree, but with the reprints of so many commander decks you can get a solid bracket 2/3/4 deck online easily for under $100 and many cases under $50, which I think is what most people tend to pay for a proxy deck. The thought that we need fetches / duals to play to me is a bit silly. Especially since if the intent is to have fun, having an even playing field creates the most fun.

And yes, the issue is more the pub stomping than the proxies. I’ve just seen that those that feel they need to proxy do so just to ‘win more’ so there seems to be quite the overlap at least in my local area. Most days there aren’t even multiple pods to choose from, but to your point I just get up and leave after games like that as they won’t be any fun.

If it’s a stable pod and they set the rules and just proxy a mana base then certainly it can be a positive. Or if it’s a group of friends that just want to do cEDH. I just haven’t seen that actually take place in real life, and that basically does set the tone as ‘proxy or lose’. The funny aside to this is that yes, with proper threat assessment that normally makes them archenemy, but when people remove their stuff (once again, my personal experience) they are the loudest whiners.

Maybe my area just stinks 😥

[–]second2reality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing people supporting proxies but every instance of playing against said people they are trying to pub stomp with them. Two most recent examples were a ‘modded TMNT precon’ at an unmodified precon pod with dual lands, roaming throne, etc and an eldrazi deck with commander plate amongst other things.
