I open a box every set that looks fun to me.
Beyond that, I usually don't rip packs unless I win them at tournaments.

Favorite packs to open are anything from the Time Spiral block or Lorwyn block. I just love those blocks so much.

I did many many years ago when Mythics weren't a thing and the gap between commons and rares wasn't as blatant. I still do sometimes, usually when a warehouse decides to get rid of their Fallen Empires room. FE was great because anyone nostalgic for old stuff would have easy access to those boosters for decades. I will teach my kids to play off of the crate of FE I have in my basement waiting for someone to give a shit.

I just recently started collecting Magic cards, in that time I have bought: a few starter decks, 2 Fat Packs, Origins deck builders toolkit, a BfZ Gift box, some single cards which I liked the look of, 2 Booster Boxes (Oath of the Gatewatch and SoI), and a bunch of boosters from Origins and up.

The moment it hooked me in was the moment where I pulled Dragonlord Silumgar from a pack, and getting Ulamog from a pack in the gift box made it even worse.

Playing against my brother mostly but it has been a lot of fun and a learning experience.

An asshole? No.
An idiot? Yeah.

>>46791786
This, to be honest with you, my family.

You just shelled out, what, 60 bucks upwards for two not very impressive 28mm models. Do you think that was a wise decision?

>>46791754
On one hand, you are funding assholes.
On the other hand, you aren't breaking any laws.

The answer is space.

>>46791668

Play up the cavalry image maybe? Cataphract xy, paladin xy, cavalier xy, or lancer xy perhaps.

>>46791668
Well depending on the strategy used, they could be any thing. A pincer move may have their unit's callsign as "Hammer" and anvil, or if it's an ambush it could be "lurker", "overwatch", etc. If it's for like a straight charge, the names could be something like "Lancer", or for fire support the names could be "Longbow", or "Heavy Rain".

Wouldn't you use callsigns for individual armored companies, not the whole regiment?

Still, pettiness aside, try "the Emperor's Fist" or "Drumluggers." The latter referring to the metal of an oil drum and how the barrels of the tanks are going to tear apart the enemy.

Yeah but why? Why not dwarves or gnomes or some other stereotypical "good with mechanical tinkering" race?

>>46790760

Those races live underground.

The Planet is similar to mid-late Ordovician period of Earth. Roughly 20-25 million years ago, the planet had a supervolcanic eruption, causing the world to be enveloped in ash. The aftermath has left a lush world of fertile seas and lagoons, along with marshy shorelines and loamy earth. But it appears that in this timeline, the eruption left to a mass extinction, leaving only the progenitor races alive, and a select few, currently in a form of stasis, with the exception of the Floater Algae, that are hex-shaped colonies of algae covered in thick layers of cellulose that can produce a gas lighter than air, allowing them to float.

• The mountainous Eastern Continent, home of the now dormant Mt. Khornus, lush with fertile grounds for plants, and mix of cold highlands, warm valleys and isolated expanses of freshwater lakes and flatlands.
• The Northwestern Continent is the most land dominated by low to sea-level lands where the grounds are always moist, while more northern regions are found to be dryer and more hilly.
• The Southern Continent is home to the great desert on its northern landmass, where precipitation is rare, while the southern region of the land is known for its welcoming, temperate climate.
• Planet Evo now has about 15% less oxygen in its Atmosphere then compared to Planet Terra of the Sol System. It also contains Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and traces of gaseous heavy metals of the past Ash Cloud.
• In some of the shallower parts of the oceans bare rock has been exposed, a potential substrate for more sessile organisms to easily settle in. These regions of the oceans while, tiny in size are comparably warmer and clearer than else where in the ocean.
• The night skies have been filled with an array of light as of recent. While likely unnoticed by the organisms of the planets, shimmering auroras and meteor showers have been flying over the skies at night. It would appear, that a nearby Star has recently destabilized.

>exact same chart

The game died, didn't it?

It was extinction events taht killed it, weren't they?

>>46790842
My guess is more like the fallout from the Crystal Evo Game's species wars drove out the promising newbloods. Some still want to evo, but after some time they got tired.
Also probably because the last thread (or was that the next to last thread?) started on a slow timezone.
The extinction events hasn't got that much of an impact, I guess.

low wis high cute

Pretty easily actually. I mean, foxes have a lot of symbolic baggage in european and native american mythology, so just draw from that .

British foxes bitter and enraged because humanity almost drove them to extinction

>>46789693
you do release fox fey spirits existed in European mythology as well?

Drafting soi green is king

Self arranged because no cheating

Makes it easier for people to know what you are drafting, which leads to more balanced drafting

>>How have your drafts/sealed tournaments gone now that the SOI dust has settled?
So far I've been in the top four in every event I played (to be fair, two of those were rather tiny and the biggest one had 24 players).
>>What are your favourite colours for limited?
White and Green
>>Favourite cards?
Ulvenwald Mysteries. It turns any stall into a win.
>>Do you prefer FNM or self-arranged limited? Why?
FNM, none of my friends play Magic. The people in the store are nice though.
>>Have double-faced cards had a visible impact on how drafting cards plays out?
I haven't tried to use it to my advantage

>Bonus question: do you think Sealed performance is based solely on the cards you happen to unpack? A veteran at my LGS seemed to think so.
A good player can win with an average pool. You can be completely fucked if your pool is really bad though (like nog having enough creatures in any two colours)

1: "Sex appeal or no, an immortal 9 year old is creepy enough. Sounds interesting."
2: "And bite you, it will. Do you make any attempts to disguise your infernal heritage or do you openly advertise you're a Tiefling?"
3: "Professional gymnast? Are there any people left who want to watch stuff like that? Also, a somewhat well-known civilian identity does not seem very smart. Care to tell me where you were going with this?"
4: Long, disapproving stare with half-closed eyelids and a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, I don't know why I invited you." (No reason spoken, because what he said shows no willingness to listen.)
5: "Why make a difference? Mortal is mortal."

2. Sure.

4. Can go fuck itself. You don't want to put actual effort into your character and therefore the actual game, hindering everyone else's experience, you can go fuck yourself.

I would never, ever run such a game because it sounds like complete and utter shit.

Diaspora's ship combat is pretty sweet. It's all about managing your heat levels. Max out your equipment and you risk cooking your crew.

Naval fights in spess can be fun - even (especially?) if you ramp up the naval aspect

Homeworld-like. Huge ass motherships surrounded by an armada. Like a hive of bees, sometimes they duke it out with other drones or they go straight for the queen.

Then when two motherships are in range it's magnificent.

>>46787846
Nice boobs.

Depends, some of those companies are in a region that are close to each others I think

Hell yeah, I'd play weeaboo Shadowrun.
