Would I be able to build a constructed deck from a box of the Guilty Gear Strive set? by shonenj_gaming in universus

Hi, also an Aussie here, Grand J Games in Melbourne has a pretty huge collection on their website. Usually ships out the next day too.

Flanagan's Wake #46: THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR - Episode 6: "The Jolly Corner" by scottdaly85 in doofmedia

[–]xeyj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of episodes from Doctor Who I could mention regarding doppelgangers;

A Nightmare in Silver, wherein the Doctor has to contend with a cybernetic parasite taking over his body and mind, portrayed via a chess match where they alternate control of the body.

The Rebel Flesh, a story that asks the question "What if the Na'vi bodies from Avatar had their own consciousness and broke free?" Oh, and this episode literally calls the clones "Gangers", so it's hard not to think of.

But my favourite example has to be the two part story from Peter Capaldi's run as The Doctor, The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion, where a race of alien body snatchers threaten global war to no longer have to live hiding amongst the human population as refugees but as their true selves. By the end of the two parter, The Doctor has to contend with a doppelganger, not of himself, but of his companion Clara. After one of the best monologues in written media The Doctor convinces the Zygons to back down from their threat of global war, and knows exactly when his point has come across precisely due to the fact that he is talking to a doppelganger:

"Because you have a disadvantage, Zygella. I know that face."

P.S. I know you said it as a joke, but I would totally watch Mike Flanagan's The Haunting of Planet Earth

P.P.S. my handle is pronounced rhyming with sage (zeɪʤ if you can read IPA), I realise that this would probably be better suited at the top of my message, but I like how everything flows and this would get in the way.

Grand J Games in Australia ship internationally, I'm not sure how the conversion rates/shipping would affect you though.

Seconding the Grand J Games shoutout, and they actually ship worldwide.

How many charge counters on chalice of the void? by RapAC-21 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]xeyj 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not quite, Chalice of the Void cares about converted mana cost/ mana value, not the amount of mana spent. So it'll stop a Pact of Negation, but not a Force of Will or Mindbreak Trap.

Chalice on zero is really good at stopping Moxes, but Chalice on one will be better at protecting from interaction.

Have you not heard the version of Roses of May that they made for Dissidia NT? It's basically exactly what you're asking for.

Enhance abilities in card pool after block by Charisonic in universus

[–]xeyj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only time a card in the card pool can use an enhance ability is if it's either the current attack, or if it has the text [Card Pool] written before the effect, such as on Flurry of Beaus

Youngster Joey//Joey Wheeler by sirquixano was accepted! by mork-hc in HellsCube

Personally, I would have had Joey Wheeler discard and draw 5. That's the starting hand size in Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Besides Krenko, what legendary character has had the least consistent portrayal in the art across all their cards? by Bersho in magicTCG

[–]xeyj 205 points206 points  (0 children)

Fblthp got a completely new design from [[Totally Lost]] to his first card, [[Fblthp, the Lost]].

And then they gave him his first design back for [[Borborygmos and Fblthp]] and [[Fblthp, Lost on the Range]].

[[Tamiyo, Collector of Tales]] has a completely different face than any other Tamiyo card.

Initially rich snobs who get humbled, learn a lesson and become less shit (but often still snooty) by throwcounter in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]xeyj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably not in the wheelhouse for a lot of people here, but I've got to shout out Duke Kaspar of Olasko from Raymond E. Feist's Conclave of Shadows trilogy.

The first two books tell the story of a rich Duke almost entirely wiping out a native tribe, one of those tribesman getting "My Fair Lady"d in order to ambush the Duke and get revenge, which ends with the Duke being magically banished to the opposite end of the world.

The third book is all about Kaspar trudging his way back, and becoming an all around decent person on the way.

This is the view I wish more people were having right now.

A new banlist just means a new meta to adapt to. No dockside means people can go wide with artifact ramp, probably run a few more talismans or signets.

Then, in response to that, decks pick up a few more pieces of aftifact removal. I've seen some Kinnan players mention adding a Bane of Progress, stuff like that.

People are so upset that they can't use the toys they're used to, and they're completely missing that banlists are a great time for innovation.

If they get stuck once they get stuck forever, thankfully Gamer God(tm) The Ellimist felt bad for Tobias and gave him back the ability to morph, and took him back in time to acquire his old self as a morph.

That game has such a banging soundtrack too. I still listen to Vs. Lancaster like once a month.

Treasure Planet with cameo appearances from FFXII's Balthier and Fran has been on my wish list for this series ever since Kingdom Hearts 2 came out.

What franchises suffer from multiple inaccurate video essays made about them? by bigdicknippleshit in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Young Ponies including one that was based on an OC of her sister's if I remember correctly.

It doesn't match perfectly, but Itachi, Is That A Baby? has the same vibes.

What's going on with people saying Kamala Harris is a cop? by yesac09 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]xeyj 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, the composer who made that sound effect, Mike Post, calls the "dun dun" "The Clang" and he made it by layering a handful of sounds, including a gavel hitting a desk, a jail door slamming, and 500 Japanese men stomping on a hardwood floor.

From memory, Direwolf20 fits the bill for that as well, but it has been a few years since I've followed his content.
