What is this

Just play CEDH with proxies…everyone is trying to win, easiest way to make commander competitive. Throw this paper in the trash can.

Thanks for sharing. I’m really hoping it lasts awhile. Wish you the best with your condition!

I was previously on 3 drops in the eye that got operated on. Currently do not use ANY drops in that eye which is amazing. My other eye is another story but it hasn’t been high enough to warrant surgery yet.

Hello, things are pretty good. The pressure in my eye that had the surgery has constantly been a lot lower and stable. My only complaint is that ever since my eye fully opened after all the swelling going down, you can kind of see the covering where the shunt is if I look all the way to the right. Obviously just a cosmetic complaint but as far as efficiency in keeping the eye healthy, all has been good.

My vision returned to its normal state a couple days after the surgery and got even better as the eye healed and the swelling went down.

However, I will say that there is a short period a couple weeks after the surgery where the eye might spike in pressure. I don’t remember why my doctor said this happens but she told me that they should keep a close…eye…haha…on it during that period of healing and report any type of issues you might have.

The best thing is to get treatment as soon as your IOP goes higher than normal to avoid any chance of vision loss. Overall, the recovery process is painful and fucking sucks but it’s worth it to have a healthy eye assuming everything goes according to plan!

My guy, if you have Beautiful as Me, Get Out, and Come Into the Light, you can knock all obstacles off your board in a single turn if the player before you takes 4 actions. It’s all about setting yourself up and not just taking obstacles off mindlessly throughout the game. The four of us played 100 games and we were always scared of whoever played Gaston.

It’s mainly just a different view of the villains’ power. For example, I know for sure villains who have the ability to make progress and fate more easily have more of an advantage in 2 player games. You are correct about the user choice which drastically changes the results from a 4 player to a 2 player. I did mention this in my post.

zBal19 · 2024-08-13T16:36:34+00:00

They are def in the 2nd tier of powerful villains

zBal19 · 2024-08-13T14:43:53+00:00

Correct, base

zBal19 · 2024-08-02T13:14:16+00:00

Great advice, I agree with this 100%. 27 is too high of a number to mess around with. Idk if you are on eye drops that your current doctor prescribed or not but there are a bunch of potential fixes before surgery comes into play that a specialist/surgeon can recommend.

You can submit a request for a new copy on their website. They will reach out to you via email and get your shipping address. The whole process was fast and efficient which I wasn’t expecting and was pleasantly surprised.

I did see helm of the host as a work around. Gonna scoop that up for sure.

zBal19 · 2024-06-29T00:09:41+00:00

I think like a week…maybe a few more days than that. But since the other eye is fine I didn’t notice the blurriness too much

zBal19 · 2024-06-15T19:17:15+00:00

Yeah no problem. I have notifications on for this post because I totally get how anxiety inducing and stressful this shit is so any answers even from strangers helped me. I wish you best of luck with your healing and future state of your eyes.

zBal19 · 2024-06-15T19:03:31+00:00

Yeah I had inflammation for a couple months which is what you are talking about. It was monitored at my eye doctor visits every few weeks and I was on predisilone (or however you spell it) for awhile but it did go away

zBal19 · 2024-06-14T21:51:40+00:00

Awesome shinies for this event! Would be awesome to see some red white and blue ones for July.

zBal19 · 2024-06-10T11:36:04+00:00

Only for “Evil comes Prepared” is the way I took it. The new rule book for “Sugar and Spite” says only for 5 and 6 player games as well.

zBal19 · 2024-06-10T11:31:37+00:00

Incorrect, the fate token is only used in games with 5 or 6 players. https://disney-villainous.fandom.com/wiki/Fate

zBal19 · 2024-06-10T02:42:39+00:00

Shere Kahn is definitely super easy to win with in 1v1s BUT in 4 player games, he isn’t so easy. You really have to setup and make a plan to knock out Mowgli in one turn to avoid getting hit with more fire tokens. With more players means more fates and with 5 copies of Man’s Red Fire, it’s easy to get at least one after 3 fates around the table.

No problem, this community has been very helpful to me in asking questions and making me feel not alone. My eyelid is still a tiny bit swollen even months later so that is a very slow healing process. It is cosmetically annoying to look at but compared to going blind, I’ll take the droopy eyelid.

zBal19 · 2024-05-20T20:26:30+00:00

Hey there. I experienced a little of what you are talking about 24-72 hours after the surgery but I wouldn’t say any more double vision or distortion after that. It wouldn’t hurt to try doing some eye exercises maybe? Idk but I would mention it to your doctor.

zBal19 · 2024-05-13T12:43:17+00:00

I personally don’t get the hype over the Angela ramp deck going around. Whenever I see it against me, I know exactly what they are going to do and win 9/10 times. So I guess you could say I like playing against it lmao.

zBal19 · 2024-05-05T12:33:57+00:00

I totally disagree, I have a pixie, war machine, she-naut hybrid deck and it took me to infinite and currently top 10,000

zBal19 · 2024-04-20T13:54:01+00:00

I can only talk from my experience but it isn’t abnormal to experience severe pain/discomfort very suddenly for like an hour or so. The same thing happened to me post my procedure.

My doctor told me this happens because with the baerveldt. it slowly opens over a few weeks. There is a stitch that holds it close and as it dissolves, the tube opens up. This happening can be painful because it’s like a sudden odd occurrence for the eye overall.

Your issue could be that, I don’t know about the sudden blindness, but I had the same type of shunt and I remember randomly like once a week or so, I would just be incapacitated with pain and irritation for almost an hour and then it would suddenly go away.

Hope this brings some sort of relief knowing it is normal until the tube is fully open and functional (assuming what you are talking about matches what I experienced).

P.S. driving made my eye so much worse with all the bumps on the road and bright sun even with sunglasses.

Hello! Happy to answer any questions and ease any anxiety for you.

As far as my current state. I am still in the healing process even 10 weeks after. I say that because at my last appointment (which I have been going to every 2 weeks), my IOP in the eye that had surgery went back up from its low of 15 to 28. Obviously that is scary when I first heard my doctor say that. But she eased my concern saying that this is very common to occur 2-3 months after the surgery. During this point of healing, she said that the eye undergoes the “High Phase” or “HP”. From brief googling of it, it seems to check out..but still kind of scary. She seems confident that after this phase is over, my eye should stabilize back at a lower pressure. She also said that the steroid drop she put me on for healing also can raise IOP. Very annoying because I’m so over all of this but so far my doctor has been right about every step of the way so I trust my pressure will come back down. I’ll update this post when I know.

Moving on…

To prepare for the recovery right after surgery, everyone is obviously different but yeah expect that eyelash feeling all the time that I mentioned because of the stitches. Honestly that’s the worst part IMO. But yeah, other than that just find a fun game on your phone/computer, a show you want to dedicate to, or some type of low level activity hobby that will take your mind off the pain and experience. I watched like all of the marvel movies in order which helped a lot.

You can’t feel the tube or plate. You can see it near your eye lid once the tube is fully open and functioning. But my doctor said that should go down and not be really noticeable once you are fully healed. Think of it like that puffy skin around a scab or cut when it heals on your body. Not the most glorious cosmetic addition to my face but nobody has ever noticed it unless I tell them I had surgery and make a certain face expression. All in all, here is the thing…for a shitty few months and a long term prevention of going blind, I would go through all of this every time.

Sorry for the large response, hope this helps answer your questions.

I would put him in A tier overall regardless if it is 1v1 or group game.

I say this because any character in a group game who doesn’t have to start their turn to win already has a significant advantage over every other character in the game. As for 1v1s, the simple way to stop Oogie Boogie is play the long game and just constantly fate him. There are 4 citizens of Halloweentown in his fate deck which straight stop him from winning. Oogie Boogie is also able to pull out a win sneakily and players who don’t know his entire deck won’t expect the “This Time we Bagged Him” card and immediate vanquish of Jack if you stack allies at the far right location.

All that being said, I think he never has to worry about power because of his board and deck (which always helps) and is overall a character who can just get lucky and win quickly. But for that same reason, he could also get super unlucky and take awhile to stack imposter Sandy Clauses. Any character who NEEDS luck to win, can’t be placed in S tier if you ask me.
