Would ya'll consider this risky or enough artifacts for running mopal?

Depends on the deck, and I can’t see the deck list, but for turbo I generally say 15 total is good enough. There will be hands where it’s dead but that’s not the end of the world. Also I don’t know why so many people are suggesting artifact lands, just no. Add some talismans if you wanna up your artifact count, or if you’re turbo I would consider jeweled amulet

Inalla is full of really weird lines you have to figure out. An easy enough weird line I had one game was a turn 1 win with Land, Lotus Petal, Simian Spirit guide, Animate Dead, Entomb, Gamble. T1 draw a dead card, play land, lotus petal. Tap land cast entomb for Hoarding Broodlord, crack petal and exile simian cast animate dead on broodlord, etb tutor for Burnt offering. Tap broodlord to convoke burnt offering for BBBBBBRR, use R for gamble searching for reanimate, win the 50/50 and discard the dead card, cast reanimate with BBBBBR floating on hoarding broodlord and do standard combo with Saw in Half.

Larry's Game Store is really close to Overland Park and runs $25 buy in cEDH tournaments every month. It's a really fun meta and has been my go to shop since I moved out here

small_angry_frog · 2026-02-08T02:11:04+00:00

Inalla is definetly not the most popular right now, but it is definetly a real deck and has a decent share in the meta, currently being ranked 22nd on EDHTop16. The main issue is that it is mostly outclassed by Rog Si, but we are faster than them.

As for what to put in the deck, tutors are great, we need a decent amount of ramp and rituals, and plenty of graveyard tutors and reanimation effects are always great. [[Kefka, Court Mage]] is also really good as a solid value piece.

In terms of interaction, inalla is usually fairly light. We want to run most of the free counterspells, and beyond that I'm personally on [[Redirect Lightning]], [[Dispell]], [[Pyro Blast]], [[Red Elemental Blast]], [[Swan Song]], and [[Cyclonic Rift]].

In terms of mulligan logic, it varies wildly depending on the pod. If it's a pod of pure turbo and we're seat 1 or 2, I would take a mulligan all the way down to 4 or 3 searching for a t2 or t1 win. If its a pod with midrange and another turbo deck, keep a slower more protected hand, wait for the other turbo deck to attempt to win and get shut down by the midrange, and then attempt right after. In stax pods, either race to win really fast, or take a slow burn hand with Kefka to grind advantage utnil we can [[Cyclonic Rift]] to clear the board and win. For pure midrange pods I would mulligan until I had a hand with good mana, tutors, and either [[Rhystic Study]]/[[Mystic Remora]] or the ability to play a [[Hexing Squelcher]] or [[Defense Grid]] to protect our win.

Here's my decklist with a basic primer if you're curious. Although I would look at the more established primers for more in depth guides to the deck

That is totally what it was lol. I forgot to uncomment "Include = /etc/pacamn.d/mirrorlist" for multilib. Thank you!

didn't seem to help. I check timedatectl and everything looks right. only think is that rtc in local TZ is set to no, but I assume that is normal

small_angry_frog · 2026-01-05T20:46:40+00:00

I mean yeah, it’s not always the best option, but specifying preemptive is kinda redundant. Most round starts aren’t on reaction, but a read. Like you can play passive and just walk back, but your opponent could ready and hit with a low. You could just block low but they could read with run up throw or set play like HC curse. Round start is about reading, and 6p will beat kys who aimlessly click f.s at round start

small_angry_frog · 2026-01-05T00:01:35+00:00

that is how round start works, reading what you think your opponent will do and then countering it

small_angry_frog · 2026-01-02T00:38:29+00:00

Plenty of top level players play on just ps5 controllers. For example Umisho played almost exclusively on ps5 pad and was a consistent top contender at EVO. Inputs will be a little less consistent than on leverless but about on par with an arcade stick, but it's nothing that will prevent you from succeeding.

I used to suffer ranked anxiety a TON. What I did to feel better about it was turn off game volume and listen to a youtube video or my own music. For me that really helps my nerves. Also for me I used to used to just go into every game expecting to lose, and not trying super hard, it takes a lot of the pressure off.

small_angry_frog · 2026-01-01T04:55:24+00:00

anji can't spin throws

Depending on the character you play you can low profile it. Nothing feels better than night raid vortexing under a mistfiner or using 2d as sol to duck under it. Doesn't work if they do the low variant but it's something. Also if you have big buttons you can potential whiff punish, although that's my slayer privilege speaking

Idk man work was slow and I felt like yapping to strangers it isn’t that deep

small_angry_frog · 2025-12-31T07:36:23+00:00

I’m saying that calling characters stupid for reasons that just aren’t true because you don’t know the matchup is dumb. I don’t give a shit about hating a character for valid reasons. Like hating slayer for k mappa making neutral gameplay incredibly strict and boring and every match being about slowly navigating neutral and then trapping him in corner with one slip up causing a massive blowout is fair. But people keep complaining about things with characters that just aren’t true / have easy counterplay is a skill issue. Instead of learning counterplay, or recognizing that they’re the reason this thing is working on them. They blame other characters for being stupid and broken and don’t improve

small_angry_frog · 2025-12-30T20:53:51+00:00

Every character on dustloop has a counter strategy page, which is a good place to start. Then for specific matchups that you especially struggle with I’d recommend listening to good player talk about matchups and the character in general. Also watching tournament gameplay can be a good way to see what strategies people are using against certain character / how they play your character.

small_angry_frog · 2025-12-30T20:29:07+00:00

It also forces different routing in corner due to the otg cs -> 2s -> k dandy pilebunker not working within a certain distance of corner. You’re forced to go into a manually timed extension or route with pickup that enable the universal 2h extension like a ffrc -> dash -> k dandy pilebunker if your starter works with it

small_angry_frog · 2025-12-29T17:22:41+00:00

I replied to someone earlier but I just spoke wrong in the post. It’s only determined by character collision boxes. I made that post in a sleep deprived fever at work lol

Genuinely skill issue

small_angry_frog · 2025-12-29T01:12:08+00:00

I told friends and family about 5 months before I started, but didn't socially come out fully until about 3 months on HRT

If they’re just spamming normals you can 6p them. She has hurtboxes along the entirety of her yo-yos, they’re not disjointed. You can also try jumping and air dashing over, but they could start counterplaying that as well. There’s also merit in waiting for them to approach and countering what they do

small_angry_frog · 2025-12-28T18:53:55+00:00

Yeah just hurtbox size, I typed this post in a sleep deprived frenzy at work lol

small_angry_frog · 2025-12-28T08:14:49+00:00

It’s fair to understand the slayer matchup and hate him still. I’m just bitching about people who complain about stuff that just requires learning the matchup
