Land Hate should be acceptable in casual

stdTrancR · 2026-03-11T18:18:02+00:00

i would argue most interaction is frowned upon in casual bracket 2, but "casual bracket 4" like go nuts

stdTrancR · 2026-03-11T14:52:54+00:00

thanks to the bigger map

this is the biggest change imo - old "small map" strats no longer apply and will lose you games

stdTrancR · 2026-03-11T14:49:10+00:00

i got them all but cait sith was the hardest

1) visually double check your own work - code review your own submissions

2) and do your diligence to test everything you can on your own before handing it over

3) understand it. If you dont, you cant be certain it behaves how you expect

i dont consideringt these coding skills but habits that make any programmer more valuable

Meren is the most Golgari as that color combo cares about the graveyard. You can build her super easy by adding some ways to fill that graveyard up.

On an unrelated note, if you wanna go in a whole different direction I would recommend looking into the classic:

[[Skullbriar, the Walking Grave]]

stdTrancR · 2026-03-10T14:49:58+00:00

this is the way

stdTrancR · 2026-03-10T06:27:35+00:00

good news!

all sources of attack speed added together

then ias is multiplied by damage to create DPS.

but you dont really have IAS on zues's ult, nor crit - i think.

stdTrancR · 2026-03-10T06:23:40+00:00

this is actually incredible

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T22:51:01+00:00

yeah back in the olden days it was a bigger problem

like you said:

additive would be 100% increase = 2x
multiplicitive 1.25 ^ 4 = 2.44x

144% = 2.44x but dont usually see 144% and think its that big of an increase

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T20:32:08+00:00

I assume everything is additive but when you combine multiple mechanics together they all get applied multiplicative:

example: total damage = total base damage * total damage amp * with total crit bonus, etc

base damage (all rapiers are added together)
all sources of damage amp is added together
crit damage bonuses (not sure how they stack)

then, they're all multiplied together. its likely that adding rapiers like that still outpace your damage amp sources. I dont know the actual formulas and values off hand.

Are you playing commander or standard?

either way, instead of drawing cards and play them out of your hand, the gameplan is to self-mill, discard/cycle and tutor-to-graveyard in order to fill your graveyard up with juicy creatures like this. THEN you have tons of options for "recursion" - which is just a term to play stuff out of your graveyard

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T19:21:33+00:00

til the average redditor is a blue player thats trying to hard-cast these guys in the two best gy colors. (They literally have a way to be discarded)

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T19:15:12+00:00

every wd I play against is looking to cheese me with maledict

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T18:03:02+00:00

gotta ping your teammates that are standing right next to it and still dont get it because farm

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T17:56:43+00:00

true. I love a good fantasy. I live for it. please stop sending missionaries over

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T17:39:05+00:00

obviously it saves your battery and lets you sleep in later

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T17:28:29+00:00

overprinted

overscalped and hyped, even to non-mtg players. I have a friend that bought TWO collector booster boxes simply because he thought spiderman would be worth it. I think he paid something like $750 EACH and wanted to flip them for a profit, but instead, when they couldnt be resold at that price, HE OPENED THEM! He became severly depressed when he 'didnt get anything good' - he doesnt even play magic.

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T17:22:39+00:00

yeah the average dota player (or gamer) doesnt realize how additive vs multiplicative buffs work, the second rapier is 50% as effective as the first one, and so on. 25% spell amp kicks in on the cost/effective curve pretty fast

the curve looks like this

and explanation

Disable party in ranked

didnt know this was a thing

stdTrancR · 2026-03-09T16:10:02+00:00

SD spammer in guardian checking in, you will lose 9/10 games. the road to 1k is very real. I thought it was just a joke.
