It's pretty obviously Tarmogoyf.

>Are masticore and morphling even playable anymore?
No.

>Whats the current MVP?
depends on the format, but Deathrite Shaman is a fucking power house

Former, Vahalla or the Folkvangr, depending on who takes him after the battle.
The latter, Hel, because it was not an honourable death in battle

>>52957732

Just say Valhalla. I'm sure the gods would understand. I can't see the likes of Odin and Thor being petty hardasses over muh rules like that.

>>52957732

To Hell with the other pagans!!!

Depends on the context

He dies

A solid case

fine, he comes back resurrected by the BBEG as one of his generals.

Not particularly possible. Omega is capable of besting Bahamut and the Warring Traid at full power, but it fought to a DKO with Shinryu (who was designed [wished for] to be stronger than Bahamut).
The problem is at such scales things have become abstractions. Omega can demolish cities, level mountains, and reshape landscapes in moments with the terrible might of its barrages. How do you put that to numbers?
Statting Bahamut, Shinryu, or Alexander is equally impossible. They're not in the scale that normal games take place in. You'd have to put them in something over the top like Exalted, where even then you have to give them vague terms like "an Essence 7 threat" because Exalted doesn't do proper numbers without a complete customized character sheet.

>>52956643
Reminder that soon Omega & Shinryu will be bosses.

And yet it'll get spanked by a 24 man raid and farmed for pants.

Memes asside I've never met someone IRL who tried it that wasn't at least content with it. Most of them like it, there are a few who aren't fond of it but they admit it has its strengths.

Personally I have no real opinion. I'm a 40k player, I don't really care about fantasy or AoS too much. People have tried to get me into it but none of the armies speak to me.

I do think it seems to work pretty well as a game though, and I'm not unhappy about how it served as a nice proving ground and 40k will now reap the benefits.

Good luck with that, Anon.

But for my 2 cents, it's a mediocre to decent skirmish game. The rules don't appeal to me and the whole 'we destroyed the old world' looms like a bloody shroud over the whole thing. The new models aren't to my taste, and there are better written skirmish games with more interesting models and lore on the market.

I preferred the gothic low fantasy (for the most part) aesthetic that fantasy had going on and I miss the Old World.
AoS itself is a pretty fun game, it's by no means my main or favourite game but if you're not taking it too seriously and playing with mates it's great.

>there are people this bad at trolling

>>52955921
If I'm not the GM I don't really care one way or the other, but honestly I don't think it's entirely unreasonable for a GM to say "no, that outfit wouldn't make sense in this setting".

I mean you wouldn't expect a knight in gothic plate in a sword and sorcery setting where everyone runs around in fur and loincloths, just like you wouldn't expect someone in metal lingerie in a semi-realistic medieval fantasy setting.

I suggest looking into the Dreamtime stories that the Aboriginal Australians have, which is part of their history/creation myth. It'll probably give some inspiration for deities and cultures and some questlines. The Rainbow Serpent is a spectacular warlock fae/GOO patron for example.

And also in real Australia there's a difference between the Coast, the Bush and the Outback, so you could use that to draw up your map and set major cities. Coastal areas are where all the major cities are, where it's cool where there's the beaches and stuff. The Bush is damn near Eldritch. If you haven't lived in The Bush most of your life or have a proper guide with you, then you can just disappear.

No joke, it's an amazing part of our 'gothic storytelling history', since the Bush is so fucked and weird there's so many stories about people just going missing. Because that's what happens. We avoid it for a good reason, we Coastal folk don't belong in the Bush.

Then there's the Outback. Hot as shit. That's where Mad Max takes place. Wildlife here ain't that deadly since it's busy getting out of the sun, so use that as a plot point. You will die if you don't get shelter, make sure you don't traipse onto a religious site while you're at it.
Plus Uluru/Ayers Rock is called the 'Heart of Australia'. Do you want a giant ass rock to be the literal beating heart of this continent, wherein some evil fuckers want to take it over to turn the entire continent against their enemies? Cause that'd be rad.

tl;dr bring some eldritch shit into the story, separate the people living in the nice safe coastal areas to the people who walk through a fragment of the faewild every day and the people who wander the sand and sun burnt inland. Use Dreamtime for inspiration.

>What are you packing to your next EDH night?
I'm packing my new Kruphix clones and other big junk deck. I plan to have a nice, casual game with some friends.

You need a functioning government and infrastructure for an operation of that magnitude. How do you accomplish that when half the people in charge can't be motivated to go to work and one in ten killed themselves?

>>52954750
The guys who can get out of bed take charge because who's going to stop them?

>>52954490
Meteor showers.

pollution and chemical shit everywhere just slowly fucked yhings up over 20 years. The world's become basically a ghost town, with roaming parties living it up and scavenging tech to make it by in a very empty, but intact, world.

>scorching ray
>unironically using a blaster spell when things like Enervate are available
Really? A twinned split-ray maximized empowered Enervation can deal (4+(1d4*0.5))= 5.25 negative levels per ray on average among 4 rays, resulting in an average of (5.25*4)= 21 negative levels, assuming they all hit, and they do because
>lmao who ever misses touch attacks?
That is enough to one-shot anything that is pre-epic.

>>52953215
The creature feeds off of negative energy and gains an average of 21 levels.

D is basically batman

C is the classic superman story.

A is Captain America.

not sure what B is.

>>52952240
B is great. Made-not-born.

Warhammer Fantasy is better developed by far.

We should stage a protest outside of Games Workshop
