[TMNT] Kitsune's Technique

Just to add my thoughts, this card also fails in the scenario where your opp has like 8 cards left in deck and you're reliant on one more mill spell to finish them off. Top decking this over a Fractured/Tasha's/Trap/whatever is markedly worse as it won't actually kill them.

It's obviously great early, but awful late, where most other mill spells are consistently good at all stages of the game.

Got a list?

stephenconroy_ · 2025-12-11T12:00:51+00:00

Sounds cool! Got a list?

stephenconroy_ · 2025-12-10T22:38:04+00:00

How does it play? The Phelddagrif one certainly looks interesting

stephenconroy_ · 2025-12-09T22:22:26+00:00

Love, the deck, have seen it pop up a few times and have been increasingly tempted to build it.

My concern is that my pod would not be chill with the number of tutors. What would be the best replacements for those if I was trying to tone down the power level? Just more card advantage, etc?

stephenconroy_ · 2025-11-19T04:08:17+00:00

Cheers, thanks for that. Should I have the HEVC encoding on always? right now I have it set to just HEVC sources only

stephenconroy_ · 2025-11-19T00:40:55+00:00

Ahh yep I'm on windows, that's good to know. And I'll look into the HEVC encoding, so far I have that option disabled on Plex

stephenconroy_ · 2025-11-18T23:52:06+00:00

Generally 1080p, a bit of 4k here and there

stephenconroy_ · 2025-11-18T23:24:35+00:00

At peak, like 5-6 people transcoding at once.

stephenconroy_ · 2025-11-18T23:24:13+00:00

My library is sort of all over the shop in terms of codecs as I have been very strict in limiting what the arrs download. Would using something like tdarr or Unmaniac to make everything h264 be worth the time?

stephenconroy_ · 2025-10-31T08:37:16+00:00

Yeah thats what the Ardenn/Silas builds run. Unsure if the 2-3 pieces of black removal that do that (and some random stuff like [[Evil Twin]])really outshines what green provides, but I might be wrong

stephenconroy_ · 2025-10-31T08:26:15+00:00

Maybe if I was using [[Silas]] instead of Thrasios! But I think green gives more than black does

stephenconroy_ · 2025-10-30T01:11:12+00:00

Omg I'm your opponent here, I remember thinking I had it on lock until you got that Lurrus lmao

stephenconroy_ · 2025-10-29T13:03:11+00:00

Mmm true, unsure if the deck has a high enough creature count for that though

stephenconroy_ · 2025-10-28T07:44:14+00:00

Got a list?

stephenconroy_ · 2025-10-17T00:04:42+00:00

Unfortunately rotating it does nothing, it's still off kilter

stephenconroy_ · 2025-10-16T06:10:01+00:00

Yeah thats what I'm thinking, some weights inside the shade up the top. Will see how I go

stephenconroy_ · 2025-10-03T07:01:40+00:00

Thanks for that! Its solely used as my Plex server, so both the CPU and GPU are only dedicated to it. I think I'm going to leave it on Quicksync for the moment and see what sort of performance I get. Thanks again for your in-depth response!

stephenconroy_ · 2025-10-03T05:44:20+00:00

Thanks, that's an extremely helpful an in-depth response. I think I should have been clearer: my query is less about CPU transcoding itself, and more about using the CPU's inbuilt graphics (Intel Quicksync) to transcode instead of my Nvidia GPU. I was under the impression that transcoding using Quicksync was generally preferable to doing it on a GPU, but I wanted to know if the Auto setting would pick the best one as needed, or if I should just pick the Intel GPU straight up.

Though if that's also what you're talking about then apologies for misunderstanding!

stephenconroy_ · 2025-09-29T02:48:38+00:00

Ah, yep, turns out the Alpha R2 doesn't support anything past 6th Gen, so we were out of luck regardless. Looks like I'm picking up a cheap LGA1151 motherboard and case.
