suicidesteve posted:*sigh* now I need to find Russian foil Deputies when I still can't even find my last 2 friggin' Supreme Phantoms and the USPS stole the one I did find. Just talk to Dmitri D on Facebook, he seems to put out feelers for what people want from recent sets and has found me tons of older cards I've wanted.

Dude screwed me on an Ebay sale so he's always been a last resort. He didn't like the price his auction ended at so he cancelled it, claiming he realized he actually needed the card. Didn't even pretend it was mis-listed or anything, just "nah I want this." Then to really rub it in, ebay changed my negative feedback to positive. Ivan's prices are high but he seems like he can get everything. The lady I used to go through got out of the business after she got divorced and I haven't dealt with her husband who took over yet. Really, I just need someone to get stuff from MKM for me. Toshimo posted:Simic Nexus is a cool and good deck. I see what you're doing here and I approve.

Counterpoint, ban Azcanta and/or reclamation. Nexus isn’t so bad when you don’t get unlimited mana + 9 cards deep search per turn.

Ferocidon was banned pretty much before it could even be played though and was likely a bit of an overreaction.

Ferocidon might be good against Krasis right now, but it would go in a deck that already gets eight lightning bolts now.

Ferocidon does way too much stuff to be unbanned, right now it would kill almost every midrange deck's strategy to deal with red(tocatli does to some extent but it's in white and isn't a good enough body to mainboard).

Nothing will ever get unbanned in Standard, because it's such a gently caress-up if you unban it and it turns out to still be broken when you could have just waited for it to rotate out in a few sets anyway.

I'm still wondering why Nexus doesn't exile upon resolution when just about every Time Walk printed in the last decade does so. Even "Take an extra turn, Exile ~; this card gets shuffled into your library if it ever gets discarded or milled" still seems fine, it's a Time Walk you're guaranteed to draw sooner or later. This is actually (to me) a really interesting thing they could do with the game if it ever goes all digital. Rather than having to ban unfair pieces of the game, you can simply nerf them into fairness like every other video game out there. Admittedly however, I don't know how often a game like Hearthstone already does this if at all.

Even "Take an extra turn, Exile ~; this card gets shuffled into your library if it ever gets discarded or milled" still seems fine, it's a Time Walk you're guaranteed to draw sooner or later. They did card nerfs a couple weeks ago, the time before that was a couple couple weeks after the december set release. This is a much faster pace than previously where it was about once every 3 months if at all. Hearthstone is super stagnant despite the nerfs right now because the there is a lot of linear agro and combo right now, with very little effective control, though there are a couple midrange options - all in the same class. E: That said, almost all of the most recent nerfs were to cards that have been in the game since launch, and some of the nerfs became super awkward because of two cards, rotating out of standard in 1.2 years, that significantly buff certain decks if you only have odd or even mana cost cards in your deck. Hearthstone has been able to do some really cool stuff that only works in digital because the game can do randomness or can check your deck conditions for you. But some of that has been completely overpowered and damaging to the long term health of the game. Meatbag Esq. fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Feb 12, 2019 |

My buddy has been hanging around rank 20 on arena and is gunning for the invite and says at that level wins are so important matches often degenerate in to nexus standoffs where whoever hates themselves the most and quits last wins. V healthy lol. He's had over a dozen 90 minute plus matches.

Granted the ostensible purpose is to draw into Nexus, but it's not nothing.

You nexus haters clearly just need to be maindecking four cindervines. Quit complaining. I'm only playing locally and casually and running mono-u in a tiny field and have no real input E: yes, that is something I hear people say in response to anti-nexus arguments.

Birds of Paradise or Elves of Deep Shadow into Hypnotic Spectre or Dimir Cutpurse, with a pile of Remands/Mana Leaks/removal to back it up. *also wasn't actually playable during those two weeks

its kind of interesting the way they've run into the problem of designing a card that doesn't work in arena because there's no rule enforcement in place about advancing game states. its just a lot of unfortunate things coming together and its not really a fundamental issue with nexus more than its where nexus, arena, and arenas ladder system all meet together. its cool that it shows the many ways in which each individual thing is broken, though.

It was a one of in the winning worlds 2007 Doran list. Chumped a bogardan hellkite for the win, iirc. Poor Chapin.

Turn 1 Dark Ritual into Hypnotic Spectre, better ban Spectre.* I'll bet you dollars to donuts that in today's Standards or Moderns, Hippie wouldn't be broken even with Ritual. Strong, yes. Broken, no. Obviously if Spectre gets to connect it's going to get backbreaking very quickly, but if your opponent has something wild and crazy like a way to remove a 2-toughness creature for 1 or 2 mana-- unheard of, I know, but stay with me here-- then you just let them 2-for-1 you. Dark Ritual making fair decks faster was never the problem with Dark Ritual.

being able to play a 3 drop on turn 0 breaks plenty of fair decks

The obnoxious bit is when you can play it turn 1 on the play, and your opponent needs a 1-mana answer.

Hippie is already Modern legal and no one cares. Dark Ritual and Necropotence were very obviously the problem cards from that old deck.
