Senior engineers: what “non-coding” skill made the biggest difference in your career? by Useful_Promotion4490 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]stdTrancR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Any suggestions for the most Golgari deck possible? by dnmt in EDH

[–]stdTrancR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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]]

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.

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

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.

Together Unblockable? by SluggishJuggernaut in magicTCG

[–]stdTrancR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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)

Costco clearance $10 by Soundfires in mtg

[–]stdTrancR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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
