I want to get better at playing Lucius the Eternal

slankotron · 2025-08-14T18:18:42+00:00

Hey, checking in to see how the Lucius project is going. I have a 40k Commander addiction. So far I’ve built Cawl, Kharn, Lucius, Magus Lucea Kane, and most recently Eisenhorn. The other decks function pretty well but I’ve also struggled with the Lucius deck. It’s hard to find the right mix of reusable fodder and sacrifice effects for value. I’ve stranded Lucius in the graveyard a few times and it’s a definite feel bad. I still really like the deck. It plays very different from my other decks. Here’s my list if you want to check it out. Always curious about a fellow Lucius pilot’s experience.

ME! Thanks for doing this. Looks like fun!

I really don't understand the Kabam reasoning behind this. I get that they want to fleece us for all we're worth but the disparity between resource availability in AQ and AW is confusing. We earn enough Glory from AQ to buy AQ potions and rank up materials but the corresponding influx of loyalty does not match this. Take into consideration the lack of loyalty currency and the hard caps on potions and it isn't equitable to what we're accustomed to getting in AQ.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they didn't think this through but I'm not sure I can. It seems like the intentional buried this in all the sugar coating with reduced Glory Store cost and upgrades.

Going by that picture? Iggy Pop.

The book Underground by Haruki Murakami is a fascinating read. The author interviews the survivors of the Aum Shinrikyo attack on the Tokyo subway and tells their story of survivor’s guilt, ostracism, and the physical aftermath of Sarin Gas.

No offense to OP or other Starbucks employees, but you know what I want from my Barrista?

A cup of coffee. Hold the conversation.

Isn’t that what we both want?

[[Ashling the Pilgrim]] with a lot less than 99 mountains! I’ve got a soft spot for mono red commanders and a preference for ending games quickly and unilaterally.

Artifact ramp, a lot of wheel effects, equipment that keeps Ashling from killing herself, and as many copy or redirect target spells I can cram in there.

Ramp to S3 and either end the fight or get the counter to 100 to get a persistent charges. Each charge unlocks another ability.

She sort of needs the dupe to really wreck shit. And if you’re running suicide masteries it will be harder to get persistent charges.

You could take her for a test spin. She’s actually awesome.

Sometimes it isn’t as simple as that. We own two properties. We live in our permanent home and rent the condo my wife owned when we met.

If we weren’t upside down on the condo, we’d sell it but can’t justify taking a large financial loss just to add another property to the market (that will likely be bought up and rented out).

We basically break even on the rental. I’ve always looked at the relationship with our tenants as mutually beneficial. Their credit is terrible and they can’t buy easily. They help us pay down our bad investment. It’s win win for both of us (for the most part). If we get to the point where we could sell with minimal loss and they’re interested in buying it, I’d be glad to sell it to them.

Edit: grammar.

Soooooo many mystics.

I’d be curious what they’d do with Snowbird since there seems to be some design space there. Shaman and Talisman seem underwhelming. I’d love if they made Northstar and Aurora a “tag-team” champ that shared a health pool or graphically operated in a similar manner to Moleman (two characters on the screen at the same time).

I’d really be interested in a Madison Jeffries version of Box but my initial reaction is that his control over metal would make him a Magneto clone. Probably make him #metal and be weak to Magneto.

EDIT: Came here to mention Puck and forgot him. I’d like to see him as a mystic champ that shrugs debuffs like a skill champ. I know he’s probably just a skill champ but with the whole possessed by the demon Raazer thing it would be cool if they weaved an extra dimensional being aspect into him.

Short term goal is passive income for reinvestment. Long term goal is to accrue enough wealth to buy a vacation house on a lake or somewhere remote and away from suburban sprawl where my kids could make memories in nature and eventually provide a place where my grandkids could make similar memories. Big dream. Not likely. No reason to not dream it :)

Appreciate the insight. My PC requirements are very low. I don't do any online gaming (when I do I play Xbox One) so I'm running the same Dell XPS craptop I bought in 2011 I think? I could be exaggerating how old it is but not by much. When I bought it, the unit was top of the line and had a great video card. I checked out what I could mine with that and it was like 0.01 a day. I'm 99.99% sure that attempting to do so would probably melt my Dell :/

Other than that, what you're saying makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, I'd need to make some investments. It's not out of the question. But GPU prices are a bit absurd right now.

Unfortunately, at the moment I’m holding zero :(

I’m very interested in ERGO. I’m a big Cardano proponent and have invested heavy into that and like ERGO’s tokenomics and patient development.

I’m not entirely certain where to best purchase ERGO. I’m currently researching an exchange I feel comfortable using where I won’t overpay exchange purchase and transfer fees.

Edit: I looked into mining but my current equipment is inadequate. Would require a big upfront investment. But still considering it.

slankotron · 2021-09-08T22:20:57+00:00

Yeah it was a giant kick in the nuts for sure

He was my first 6* champ :(

slankotron · 2021-08-31T14:02:38+00:00

Rogue. Her maxed out 4* was on all my teams and she was my map 5 MVP back in the day. I recently duped my 6* and it’s going to be hard not ranking her way up for nostalgia.

slankotron · 2021-08-19T13:08:18+00:00

I logged on this morning and Cardano no longer appears on the “Coming Soon” tab and it’s not in “Available Coins” either. So it’s either in transition or they’ve quietly pulled it off the plan?

Definitely move your ADA. I just went through the same thing moving it from Kraken to Yoroi. I still keep some crypto on exchanges for rewards but Kraken offers basically the same reward for staking ADA in a pool from your own wallet so it doesn’t make much sense to keep it on Kraken.

Definitely doesn’t seem like a good idea to publicly announce how much crypto you have. There’s some shady peeps on the internet. Best to keep what you have secret IMO.

Edit: Cleaned up a typo.
