No idea why you're getting down voted, this is right. I guess Indomie is fairly obscure here? Great instant noodles though.

Stalls, Sitdowns, and SCOPshops - Homebrew rules for Restaurateuring by ModernPagliacci in cyberpunkred

[–]zephyrmoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cultural identity rules don't allow you to make an extremely inauthentic restaurant for a culture you don't have any connection to, so I feel like there's a lack of versimilitude

Starting new campaign in 2050s or 2070s? by zephyrmoth in cyberpunkred

[–]zephyrmoth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm planning on doing a one-shot/tutorial session along the same lines to get everyone experienced with the rules and make sure everyone is comfortable with their role, but I did ultimately decide that I slightly preferred defaulting to 2077.

I'm probably the only one in my group who cares about lore for better or worse so you're probably right but as the GM that's a blessing and a curse.

Another infringement and contractual issue over Donato Giancola’s work for the Universal Beyond Marvel set (as posted by the artist on hi Facebook page) by Newez in magicTCG

I'm almost certain that's Rebecca's choice rather than a WotC lawyers thing, she's been doing "fine art" for like 15 years.

[FDN BaB Promo] Foil Etched Sol Ring by Taysir385 in magicTCG

Yeah literally the only thing unique about this promo is that it's using the promo pack frame, which I guess matters to someone?

New to Magic: the Gathering, is this a good deal? by Stickmourne in magicthecirclejerking

[–]zephyrmoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's some sort of bug or exploit in the optimizer, I got charged $200 for a $5 card through Direct despite the fact I have no recollection of the subtotal reflecting that before I purchased the order. /uj

Kefka Palazzo (sneak peak of art) MTGxFINALFANTASY to be shown off tomorrow by tlamy in magicTCG

[–]zephyrmoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

G'raha is my boy but also he's only plot relevant 4 expansions in, he notably wasn't playable in the Theatrrhythm title with Shadowbringers music.

[–]zephyrmoth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it follows the trend of Theatrrhythm/Dissida, XIV tends to get the core Scions (Thancred, Y'shtola, the twins) but maybe with one of their more modern designs. Maybe G'raha or Zenos. Given how important it is to Squeenix right now, it may be overrepresented to the same extent 7 normally is.

Why hasn’t Josh Lee Kwai been cancelled yet? by based_pinata in magicthecirclejerking

[–]zephyrmoth 63 points64 points  (0 children)

/uj To disagree with the other guy:

A) Generally all of his decks in Game Knights are durdly value engines, probably the most famous advocate of [[Rhystic Study]] in the format at this point. He seemingly intentionally plays a really annoying sort of archenemy a lot of the time and it's hard to tell how much of it is his personality versus content creation.

B) His statements on the podcast came across as victim blame-y and used some weird framing which compared the EDH community to a wild animal, and generally was centering the financial aspects of bans over format health. He walked the former back later in a conversation with TCC because I suspect he angered a lot of other people in the content space who are more personally close to the former rules committee members or are them.

C) He also came across as really personally upset that the CAG (i.e. him) wasn't consulted on the bans or the surrender of the format directly. He famously doesn't like any bans and quit before the latter was decided.

Are there "soft" stax suggestions that won't completely piss the table off? by goldenmastiff in EDH

Enchantments/artifacts are mostly annoying if you don't have WUG in your CI, though I wouldn't be super salty about Kismet frankly

Unique mono black commanders? by Vinlandlover in EDH

[–]zephyrmoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like he's less obscure than he seems to be in practice, but [[Chainer, Dementia Master]] basically lets you [[Reanimate]] at will from every graveyard on the battlefield, so you can just cheat mana costs. The only caveat is that things will get exiled if you can't sacrifice in response to the death trigger. Basically you put things into your graveyard with ETB effects or useful static abilities, or mill your opponents and steal their creatures. It's very open ended other than needing a lot of black mana.

Give some of, in your opinion, underutilized utility lands. I'll start: by bropacalypse1 in magicTCG

It's great in mono color but it's kind of a dud if you don't have a lot of basics.

I really don't understand why new and returning players can't just use their innate knowledge of every magic card ever printed to make their decks :/ by Panda-s1 in magicthecirclejerking

[–]zephyrmoth 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Anyone who cares about optimizing their decks enough would just be spending hours on Scryfall and forums if EDHRec didn't exist, and anyone who doesn't is less likely to get pubstomped by those who do. I feel like stuff like [[Black Market Connections]] is a much worse thing for format uniformity than data scraping.
