A more comparable stax piece would be Stasis. Which is still in, as is Personal Tutor on the tutor front. It is this inconsistency that makes me go wtf. I can totally understand not tomlike cmc 1 tutors and cmc 2 stax pieces, as quite often they will do what they are meant to, like making your situation much better with the right card early or in case of stax preventing the opponent to gain foothold. Early in the game that can totally wreck your opponents plan, so from the “fun” perspective I totally understand it. I just thought that 1v1 mtgo commander was meant as a tournament / competition game. But yeah, even wizard missed several of the options in the classes of cards they don’t want. As if people would say “oh, this is the worst cmc 1 tutor, so I won’t play it” instead of “this is the only cmc 1 tutor so I will play it”. Same with cmc 2/3 stax.

Oops, time to replan my acquisitions – guess the good mana stuff will go into my multiplayer decks now. Too bad about thr moxen, though, I liked them in my JVP list. T1 Jace is just fun. And too bad about Ancient Tomb also, they really dislike fast man…
/u/bboomslang on Competitive Dominaria cards
Well, maybe some High Tide decks (JVP) could play this as interaction in their high tide turns – there are cost reducers in the deck that even makes it playable outside. Rewind with cmc 4 is too clunky, but Unwind at 3 could make it. It counters what y…

[[Copper Gnomes]] exists, but isn’t played. This is too expensive. I mean, this thing can bring out an artifact T5 when you T4 this and T5 use it. If you survive a T4 where you probably didn’t do more than cast this. Sure, you can T5 something big and with untaps even multiple things – but Daretti can beimg something big on the field much faster already. And Daretti can sit in your command zone.

Also the return-random-spell to hand devils and the place, spell on ETB devils. Still, this one is the cleanest implementation and at common again, so it is at least mildly interesting 😉

Well, only grabbing sorceries is a bit different what the new one does.

the discard sounds a bit limited, compared to already existing discard. But then, it nicely works alongside [[Duress]] to give you more options. It could help to get rid of some key creatures you are bad at handling, for example. What fascinates me mor…

Hab eine Ankündigung bekommen, dann das Spiel und dann eine Info, das das Spiel kommt. Bis auf die Reihenfolge alles gut :)Die Minis für die Truppen sind echt futzelig, ich hätte doch die Würfel nehmen sollen … (aber sonst siehts gu…
/u/bboomslang on What are the 10 essential games in your collection that you would always want to play?
Never played Sigrada, so can’t really compare them. But I think people just see similarities for the bright colours 😉

Just a nice dice chucker with a bit difference to the usual. Not really a civil game, though.
/u/bboomslang on 7 Wonders Duel- Guild ties
the victory points go to whoever build that guild, based on the max of yellow cities. so if you have 4 and yoir opponemt has 5, you build the guild which counts those, you get 5 VP. if both ülayers have 4, then the max is 4 and that os what you get. The player who doesn’t “own” the guild gets nothing. It is just a way to participate in yoir opponents buildup or to strengthen your own buildup.
/u/bboomslang on Are there any must have expansions for 7 Wonders?
One thing that was not mentioned: cities opens up play with 8 players and, it being 7 Wonders, does that in a great way. It was the reason for me to get it and after adding it, never played just base game any more. And after playing with Leaders I am not sure I will actually get it, as for me base+cities just hits the sweet spot. Never played Babel, though, so can’t comment on that. Well, and the wonder pack just gives more wonders, so not really any big change in there.
/u/bboomslang on What are the 10 essential games in your collection that you would always want to play?
No specific order, just the games I am willing to play all the time:
- Viticulture EE
- Azul
- Red 7 (my “always with me” game)
- Between Two Cities
- 7 Wonders (with Duel for 2 players and normal otherwise)
- Nations the Dice Game
- Waggle Dance (best intro worker placement, playing with my parents)
- Concordia (Britannica map when playing 2)
- Paperback (best intro deck builder and super fun to play)
- Codenames (pictures for me and must be 6+ players)
I do have more games I love to play, but due to setup time don’t play that often – the above are ones I would just grab and play on request or suggest myself, as their setup is fast and play to me is super fun. All of them have been played a lot. And at least one of them is in my bag on every game night (in addition to Red7, which I have with me anyway 😉 ).
This is my list for multiplayer, changes quite a bit with solo play (viticulture is in both lists, though), as it does if I play with just my wife. And it is slightly skewed to board game night, where we have new people from time to time and are not that much into deep stuff and more into Light-Medium.
