Note that you can only get two energy per player, but in multiplayer you could make more by hitting multiple people (EG if you hit Bob with 3 guys and Alice with 1, you’d get 2+2=4 total energy)

Not really, there’s an older angel and we just got OTJ Jace that both care about turn #, and the mentioned Gemstone Mine for starting player. Really this was probably just acorn for power reasons, an evolving wilds that either scries or untaps probably isn’t broken but could be

Big rules nerd here, and you may already know this but for anyone seeing this new tech who doesn’t: Tamiyos safekeeping (or other indestructible sources) won’t protect a planeswalker from losing loyalty counters to damage, or for dying to zero loyalty. The reason is although it can’t be destroyed (indestructible), it can still take damage, and taking damage is what removes loyalty counters. It’s why the various Gideons that turn into creatures both make him indestructible and prevent damage, to avoid this situation.

Ofc, Tamiyo’s does protect against “destroy target/all planeswalkers” type effects

Ooh Locust God loves this! Worst case it’s a 6-mana sorcery draw 5 (not great, but workable). Or, it’s a flexible board wipe that leaves your many locust tokens in play. You can even do a cute play of copy the God, then bounce the OG, so the token doesn’t die to legend rule (since that’s only checked as a state-based action) so you get to keep your locusts and your God and have a backup in your hand.

I play it on the deck all the time and it’s fine, graphics turned down to potato but they still look decent, and the FPS stays good in all but the most insane of situations (I play on difficulty 8/9, so I’m experiencing the most enemies possible). Only “hard” part is there’s no aim assist for controller so the high precision weapons like snipers are harder to use, but that doesn’t stop me from trying haha

Well, 2, since you have 3 opponents and myriad doesn’t make a token for the original you’re attacking. So it’s puts it closer to on-level for 3 mana green ramp, but getting extra attackers and all the eldrazi spawn synergies is still great

Yep, notably this doesn’t have all the basic land types like nearby planet does, which both means it can’t produce any color with a simple tap, and also means it doesn’t auto-fulfill all your domain with one land. It’s not strictly worse since Nearby has the Rupture Spire pay 1 clause, but Nearby is overall way more powerful assuming you can take advantage of domain-type abilities

It runs great! Granted I turned all the graphics to minimum, but the game still looks good and runs great. Only problem is if there’s just an absurd amount of particle effects it can get a little frame-y, but I play at the second-highest difficulty (so lots of enemies) and frames only happen every 20 matches or so at most

I regularly use 4 wireless Xbox controllers for this exact purpose, and it works great. There’s always the occasional Bluetooth quirks, but overall it’s seamless

So now we’re making actual people into magic cards eh?

I know he was in the assassins creed games, but it’s still funny to have an actual historical figure as a magic card. Can’t wait for my Teddy Roosevelt mono-green commander!

Hate everything about this, and I’ve been a secret lair diehard from day 1. I love the cool art treatments, I buy the overpriced basic lands, I really enjoy the crossovers even when I don’t personally care about the property, overall a big fan. But what I do NOT like is turning it into hyper-FOMO “buy quick or never get it again!!” bullshit. Having them be limited to the sale was fine because you got like a month to think about it, being forced to buy it in the first (day? Hour? Minute??) or else the stock disappears means I won’t bother, I respect myself too much for that nonsense.

We did get a dredge card fairly recently in [[Shenanigans]], the key here was a niche (but okay priced) effect + a low dredge number. Brings it more in line with the original “fair” use of dredge (re buying useful cards)

Bought Portal 1 + 2 for my love, they’d never played them before and they’re tied for my all-time favorite game so couldn’t pass it up for $1.98. Plus always on the lookout for co-op games to play :D

For me, I finally bought Cyberpunk 2077, although funnily enough I decided to buy it on GoG since they’re the actual developers of the game. Is working perfect through Heroic so far, although to be fair I’ve only made it just past the intro

Oh thank goodness. Locust God is my baby, and I’m very happy with my Italian foil copy I have right now, but I was considering if I wanted this to have it. But no way I’m spending $200 for it lol

Oh shiiiit, Nagas are becoming snakes! Finally the tribals can make sense!

Woah that’s a cool take on Act of Treason! You want to actually hit with what you steal instead of just sac it or whatever. (Granted you probably still sac it, but at least you have the one extra hoop).

Ha nice! Cool to see another Skullbriar effect after all this time. I like that all the counters she can give herself are useful without being oppressive

Crazy that Binding of Isaac is still in there, it’s been years since the last release and it’s not really in the public consciousness the same way something like Vampire Survivors is. Fantastic game though, happy to see it continue to succeed

Since it’s silver-border it falls under silver-border judging rules, which states “C’mon, friend, you know what a toy is, don’t be a cheese”
