EDH Deck Help
  • That's exactly how I feel about it! I just started getting into MTG and bought the Animated Army bloomburrow precon after making a couple wacky modern decks out of the inherited cards I have and it just feels so generic. Like if I took it to a LGS I could very likely run into someone with the exact same deck and that isn't quite as fun as something very uniquely you yah know?

    EDHRec has been awesome to find some cheap spells though and I definitely spent too much time at work looking through other folks decks lol. But at least with being able to go through other folks decks I'm able to find some cheap(er) cards that definitely can have some use, and that's really what I was looking for!

  • I was thinking keeping Gandalf as the commander would work great for the spell splitting property, but also using [[Stormsplitter]] to double dip more or less and just replace some of the red spells with lower cost instant casts. Again the card draw is still an issue but hopefully the suggested cards above help out!

  • EDH Deck Help
  • These are awesome! I'll have to take a good look at EDHRec, I don't know how I never found that website. I've pretty much been exclusively using Moxfield and just searching cards there which has been painful to say the least. Thanks for the input!

    Sorry if this isn't the right community, and if it isn't hopefully someone can point me in the right direction!

    I am looking for some input on an EDH deck I am working on. This is the deck and it revolves around [[Gandalf the Grey]] as the commander. So lots of instants, sorceries, and prowess. Mostly aiming for Gandalf commander damage as the win condition by combining the 3 damage to each player and then putting Gandalf back on the top of the library. I played this for the first time last night and while it has a ton of potential, I definitely feel that things are missing.

    Things I am looking for are:

    1. More card draw. This was without a doubt the biggest issue and I'll take any input on how to improve this!
    2. More counters. Less of an issue than card draw, but definitely was struggling against my buddy's Balen/Token deck.
    3. Any sort of board wipe. This was definitely an issue but by the time I could've really used the board wipe, I had fizzled out due to no card draw.

    Hopefully folk have some input! I would definitely love to keep this on the cheaper side as this deck so far has cost me $15 for a couple boosters. Most of the deck was inherited from someone in college years ago lol.

    Much Abrew: Frogs (Standard)
  • Just built my own frog deck on mtga and having a lot of fun with it. This deck is also fairly cheap if you get rid of the super expensive lands tossed in there. While definitely useful, it's absolutely doable with basic lands.

  • 'Please stop that': In the run-up to Baldur's Gate 3 modding support, Larian's head of publishing speaks out against 'threats and toxicity against our devs and community teams'
  • They do address that in the article though.

    Dowse adds that "99.9% of our community are the absolute best and it’s because of them— thankfully—that my community team perseveres. But I suppose it was inevitable that when you have a city, a few bad eggs will start a fire."

    "It's a double-edged sword that comes with this kind of approach—especially with a game that's this popular. Developers gain a lot by listening closely to feedback, talking with their players, and putting a face to their names on social media. On the other hand, they also open themselves up to the masses at large. While only a small portion of said masses are nasty, the law of large numbers kicks in very quickly: 0.5% of a million people is still 5,000 angry strangers yelling at you."

    Even if 99.99% of the community is amazing, that still leaves at least 1,000 people who are still willing to do/say terrible things to the developers.

  • The Pokémon Company Announces It Will ‘Investigate’ Palworld IP And Assets
  • Screenrant Article here from a day ago. It does still state that Nintendo intends to investigate, but most of the stolen/copied asset claims have been refuted or rescinded. With the main "they stole assets" person admitting they fabricated the proof because they hate how Palworld glorifies animal abuse (which is extremely ironic to me because no one had a problem when Pokémon was cockfighting for children)

  • Please let us name containers!
  • While not the greatest solution, if you use the built in sorting and swap from value to type or any of the other sorting, it should restack items. Granted, if you've done any manual sorting you have to kiss that goodbye :(

  • Anyone else having characters not moving their lips during dialog?
  • What I've found is that it tends to happen more on dialogs and cut scenes that are skipped through. If you press A or skip through a cutscene at the wrong time (no idea how to tell when a bad time is) it will de sync the entire dialog and from then out you just get characters bobbing their heads as if they were saying something but not actually speaking. Luckily it seems to stop happening for me on the next cutscene if I let it play through the entire way unskipped.

  • Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices?
  • Two things you have to consider are leases and contracts. Many of these companies don't own their buildings, and are contracted to continue renting them for X number of years. Businesses that allowed WFH during the pandemic many times had to eat that cost.

    Personally I'm of the mindset that upper management saw this and said we need to get people back in office to make our investment worthwhile instead of trying to amend the contract or renegotiate to not have to rent the building anymore.

  • Mark Dickey: US explorer freed from one of Turkey's deepest caves
  • Yeah this is more along the lines of "researcher working with multinational team falls ill in remote cave" more than "dumb american does dumb thing and needs rescue". Man started throwing up blood and fell into a 3 day semiconciousness at which point he needed rescue.

  • [Fixed] Anyone having controller / multiplayer split-screen issues on Steam Deck?
  • I'm playing local split screen coop with two xbox wireless controllers and haven't ran into any issues with them. At the very least, I certainly haven't had any of the issues you're reporting. Possibly check out Hairy's comment, might be some known 8bitdo issues with steam?

  • Spoilers in this Community

    So I'm imagining it's a toss up on whether or not players played through EA or not, and in my mind this would apply to Act I as well as beyond, but how does this community intend to deal with storyline spoilers? If markdown is implemented right,

    >! Then this should be a spoiler

    but if the markdown method of right arrow (>) followed by an exclamation point (!) does not properly tag spoilers, do folks care enough? Maybe marking posts with story spoilers as nsfw?

    I would like to suggest no spoilers for storyline in future post titles, and either having spoiler tags on comments or something along those lines. This all might be a non-issue for most community members, but I figure if there are people out there who want a spoiler free time while still being able to visit this community to talk about the game (people like myself).

    What do y'all think? Regardless, I'm very excited to play through this new story! Happy Launch Day y'all!
