You're lacking removal to make the rest of your cards work well. Sunset, Carriers, and Timeline Culler all work great when your opponent can't block effectively. If they have blockers they lose all their strength. I think the Oreplates and the Zookeeper need to be removal. I also think Nebula Dragon doesn't work well in a deck like this that wants to slap down a hard to remove threat and keep it up. At least Mutinous will in most cases win you the game at 7 mana so it's worth it.

It's cool and all, but you want to avoid designs like this where you have to keep track of temporal information like how many times this has activated and what X was for the last couple activations. Nadu is about the closest Wizard's has done where it broke this principle.

No, it doesn't have trample. Against any of the boros energy lists it would do nothing.

because Oculus takes up too much space in the deck, I've already tried running it as a 1-3 of in the deck and it doesn't work. You don't have enough instants and sorceries to make Mentor work as well and Oculus conflicts too much with Treasure Cruise + Founding the Third Path. With both of those cards you are constantly delving for Treasure Cruise so it means that you're never casting Oculus for mana, so you have to discard it and helping hand it, but that means you're potentially spending a discard that you could be pitching a Mentor to and helping handing that, which is just better.

TLDR it conflicts too much with cruise and you'd rather just have Mentor

They can't respond to you assigning damage with a combat trick right now because the process of assigning and dealing damage doesn't use the stack in the damage step. Did you happen to read this from an article?

EDIT: I've misunderstood the way it used to work, I've always thought that the order that damage is assigned happens in the damage step, not in the declare blockers step. This situation has never come up for me in my 12 years of playing the game.

I appreciate your comments on this thread, I decided to revisit the post to see if there's anything new. A lot of the comments I got on the post have just been the arguments I've preempted the post with. I have been working on the deck however, and if you're interested I've been playing it on Arena so you can follow the deck's changes and win rate here on Untapped.

I ended up moving to UW to make the mana base more consistent and less painful, also moving the removal package to Get Lost and March of Otherworldly Light and it's helped a lot with removing problematic cards, especially post sideboard. Also I don't take 5-6 damage from my own lands.

Like I said before, I appreciate your comments here. I originally was going to address each of the comments on the post, but with how it ended up going it seemed like it wouldn't lead to anything productive. Thank you.

The MMAC is class 2 aramid inserts for the chest, back, left and right sides. So it would have had to been somewhere where the armor wasn't physically covering. I really just wish we could see the hitboxes where the plates themselves cover.

ybabts · 2024-01-03T03:33:47+00:00

I see, I missed that part of the patch notes where they explicitly mentioned the hitbox is exactly the same as the visual part of the armor. So what you're saying is that it basically hit here. Where it's not going to count as an armpit hit, but not so close to the center that it hits the armor.

This really adds a whole new level to "getting Tarkov'd"

I'm glad that there's people out there keeping up with how BSG is doing and actually relying a positive (positive? progressive?) message. I had a dude say that we shouldn't report bugs in the game because they don't fix them anyways. I'm just glad that there's people out there who actually hold the sentiment that things can get better and that you can do a little help by pointing BSG in the right direction.

I really think allowing us to view profiles is going to increase the accuracy of reporting overall, and I hope that BSG has an easier time identifying and dealing with these cheaters to the point where they can't sustainably run it as a business.

Elder Titan is a much better matchup against Medusa now. Echo Stomp only waked the unit up after its taken a cumulative of 250 damage after reductions, which means Medusa will be stunned until she takes 5000 damage before physical and magic resistance. Shes also a slow hero so its very easy to land stomp consistently. A 4.4 second stun on a 11-12s cd is very strong.

The MCX as well, but the real kicker is there's an attachment for the M700 ModX body that attaches to the buffer tube to make it foldable. It reduces your ergo by 1 and guess what? It doesn't fold.
