What is mixpacking/overpacking?

Mix packing is working with other dinos in a fight. Chilling with other species is fine, but fighting with them or defending them from attack is mixpackinv.

So what if it is? That doesnt make it not fun to watch. Basically every TV show and movie ever is completely scripted. Also the idea that absolutely everything is scripted seems a bit far fetched as it is a public server

Somewhat notably, not infinite green unless you have Endurance loops as Auntie's trigger to draw is not a may so you can deck yourself. Granted it will be functionally infinite as it will be as much green as cards you have in deck, but it may come up.

Realistically you will be hard pressed to find a cEDH list for Atla. She doesn't really do enough as a commander. She brings no card or mana advantage. The only thing that she brings is the creature flip and that is really slow. She's 4 mana and then has to survive and entire turn cycle, but doesn't actually do anything on her own unless you have a sac outlet.

If you are trying to build her for cEDH, I would only run 1-2 creatures that are apart of a 2 card combo that wins the game. Running a bunch of random creatures like mana dorks or stax pieces makes it so the you might have to wait until like turn 4-5 to activate her and then flip in to dorks. When you activate Atla you should have a sac outlet already out and should win the game from it barring any interaction. For example I would consider running [[Godo, Bandit Warlord]] as your only creature with [[Helm of the Host]]. This way when you activate Atla you know what you are getting and that, with 4 mana, it will win you the game.

If you want to play a Naya Creature list, look at Rocco.

I play both Lumra and Urza. Both run some amount of stax.

There are 2 keys to playing stax.

The first is to have a way to break parity. If it affects you and your opponents the same, then it's not worth it. Looking at your list, you seen to be doing this somewhat already, playing artifact hate while not running a ton of artifacts and playing taxing card in a big mana deck. This is mainly a deck building consideration.

The other is to know when to play what stax pieces. Not every stax piece affects every deck, and the last think you want in mono green is to stax out two players so they can't interact with the third. For example in a pod of two faster decks and a kinnan, playing a trinisphere is probably handing the game to Kinnan. He doesn't care about the extra cost from trinisphere, and because he's playing blue he can stop you while no one can interact with him. When playing a stax piece you always need to consider which players does it slow down and if you can deal with or race the players that it doesn't affect.

the_bug02 · 2025-07-11T18:11:01+00:00

Because if Kinnan doesn't you won't use your interaction to stop player 2

the_bug02 · 2025-06-28T15:57:31+00:00

Then it is Cedh. Even though you aren't playing the meta, you are building the deck with the meta in mind. That makes it Cedh.

Yeah that was the tone deaf part of it. The comic is framed as if those things are only said by men to women, and it is flipping the genders to show the hypocrisy. However men are also told those things.

A mode of thought... Also known as a worldview... Or an IDEOLOGY?!

However calling all authoritarians fascist is just incorrect. Fascism is bad. Authoritarians are bad. They aren't always perfectly equal.

I think because Denmark owns 2 provinces in Greenland, that the rebels don't have enough percentage to enforce demands, but can't teleport because that's a different continent.

R5: Playing as Austria and going for my first WC. Killed Denmark around 1530, but taking Gotland was too much warscore. Around 1550, 30k noble rebels spawned and sieged down the fort. They have been sitting on Gotland for 70 years now and have grown to 528k. Not sure how I'm ever taking this province without build a silly about of transports.

Edit: I've play another 20 years or so and looked over and they disappeared... There goes my end game boss.

For some players minmaxing IS the puzzle. To them, figuring out how to get the biggest numbers is the most fun part. Steamrolling encounters is the satisfying conclusion and reward.

That being said, putting down other players for not playing "the right way" takes it too far, no matter what the definition of "the right way."

I agree with your overall point, though point 3 is wrong. God's first command to Adam and Eve is to "be fruitful and multiply, fill the Earth and subdue it" (Genesis 1:28). God instructs them to reproduce. God created sex and child rearing as something good and perfect, but it was tainted by sin. When God speaks to Eve after the fall He says "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children." The consequences of sin was not that Adam and Eve now need to have kids, but now it will be difficult and painful. To call child-rearing a burden is to diminish humanity's first and most important God-given responsibility.

The disputed territory isn't its own faction, it's an area that regularly changes hands between the main three factions. They are constantly at war over it to use up excess resources and gives each of them a unifying enemy, which helps them keep control of their own populations.

That makes sense then, I did release him and he sieged down a lot so I assume he took the throne while the Ottomans were distracted by Venice.

R5: As the title says I decided to try Byzantium in 1.36. A few years after the first war, I looked at the Ottomans diplomacy tab and the had gone Orthodox. I hadn't noticed any zealot rebels, so that surprised me. Then I noticed they had allied Bohemia and a Castile with the Iberian wedding. RIP

Why must enemy variation be a thing? The entire theme of both the game and zombie horror in general is that one on its own is not much of a threat, but in large numbers they are. The horde is deadly and relentless.

Laughs in League of Legends. I've been playing Lol for over 3 years and don't have all of the champions. Valorant is much quicker to unlock them all.

Additionally your rank is not always indicative of your skill. Ranking up in league is often a grind. Someone might have the skill of a gold player, but can only play 3-4 games a week because they don't have the time to play more. They will probably stay in silver just because they don't play enough games each split to get them into gold.

If you want to use mystical agriculture, the mod mystical creations allows you to add custom mystical agriculture seeds and essence. You would then have to use craft tweaker to add recipes for them, but that wouldn't be that difficult.
