    For anyone else who hasn't figured it out yet (took me until last night) you only have to complete 5 dailies to get your 50 lapis, but with the trochoid gears there are 6 dailies, which means you can get your 50 lapis without having to spend orbs on the Colosseum.

    I don't disagree, I've trashed their snapshots in the past, I just happen to agree with their read on druid v aggro shaman. I can't find it now but somewhere on this week's snapshot they show two different matchup %s for the same matchup.

    I don't disagree, but jade druid is definitely lightly favored against aggro shaman, and at a disadvantage against a warrior. Druid's cheap removal package can slow down aggro shaman to buy you the time you need to get going, since they generally rely on conventional minion damage wearing you...

    It's almost like aggro shaman and aggro war are different decks or something.

    This is a combination math/contruction problem, and my brain melts every time I try to sort it out. We're almost done putting on a metal roof, but the flashing they got doesn't sit properly due to the outer rib of the roofing , so we talked with the guy and figured out something else he liked...

    For starters, there is one control deck in the top ten, not two. You have to go all the way down to thirteen to find a second control deck which barely made it out of tier three. Additionally, I don't know if there have ever been two face decks in tier one at the same time before. When you...

    Holy fuck you guys weren't kidding about fight of the year. Two winners in that fight, no losers.

    Uh, jade druid is absolutely favored against aggro shaman. Disadvantaged against warrior though since so much damage comes from weapons.

    Would be hard for a deck that jade druid is favored against to push it out of the meta.

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    Wonder how much it would cost to get your house turned into a pokestop or a gym. Next level p2w Gym would probably a bit awkward now that I think about it, don't want people sitting outside your house grinding gym battles, but walking by to spin a pokestop would be no biggie.

    After using her a bit more for brutals/mutations, she's a fun hero but I think Nova is badly underpowered. It takes tons of micro to keep from losing troops early on as you're building up, and the cooldown on podding in new troops makes every loss a big deal. Ravens are very prone to getting...

    I finally got around to buying the 5 dollar starter pack. The guaranteed legendary was a dupe, which was to be expected since I'm only missing King Krush and Al'akir. I then proceeded to get 2 more legendaries in my 10 packs, along with enough epics and rares that I essentially just paid 5 bucks...

    Just got a consolation ticket for the iap issues on IOS, in addition to the three earlier from emulating Amazon. Did not get one on my normal memu instance (which is through google play). Incidentally, I'm not terribly opposed to the occasional 16 hour trainwreck maintenance if it means 500...

    App does not work when I install from amazon. It just sits there connecting forever whether I try to login via facebook or start a new game. *edit* Nevermind, after ~20 minutes it finally went.

    I actually accepted a friend request from a guy and immediately started talking shit to get the jump on him for once, and then he said nice match and asked questions about how i developed the deck. I apologized and we talked for a bit and I think he's still on my friends list. Felt like such a...

    Nicola Peltz is by far the worst part of the the new Wahlberg Transformers, because every time I see her or hear her voice or even read her name, I'm forcibly reminded of the inconceivably terrible live action Last Airbender movie.

    I think Garland won't actually be on the FF1 banner due to being on that dark themed banner a couple weeks ago. WoL might be on the banner though since the player's choice banner will have been like 6 months ago when his 6* comes out. Sinzar did you miss the part where I said 'due to the...

    No, turn 2 dirty rat is absolutely the right play unless you have strong reason to believe your opponent is playing the kind of deck where you want to disrupt him by timing the battlecry. It's the same logic as playing deathlord was, the odds of getting screwed by the creature that comes out are...

    Gacha change is just before the second Tidus banner, still a long ways off. The first Tidus banner is incredibly strong though. *edit* I'm wondering if the 70k moogle might actually be worth it this time around due to the secondary benefit of megacite and sacred crystals. I'm on the verge of...

    I'm most likely gonna be suiciding my first wave from anyfin into your taunts, especially if you still have your kazakus spell in hand. At that point you're dead to my second anyfin unless you're able to put multiple taunts back up and have forced me to use both equalities. Hell, pre-standard I...

    Uh, you understand that anyfin wins with charge minions right? Anyfin is a fundamental mismatch for basically any style of Renolock because Renolock is a value deck, and while some draws will allow you put the game away quickly, it's not designed with that in mind. The thing that keeps the...

    If you really think you can wait for at least 6 months that's a very efficient banner to hold out for, on top of presumably coming out after the gacha change. Personally feel like I'm probably gonna go crazy just trying to hold off until the first Tidus banner.

    He's not rated quite so high pre-enhancement, and like Gilgamesh he badly wants dual wield so he can activate two of his weapon passives at once. I'd casually work on one in your spare time, but I wouldn't level both of them until he gets his awakening, then evaluate whether or not you want two...

    That was a huge mistake but I'm glad you got lucky with pulling Lightning. I'm the one who has been analyzing upcoming banners and declaring them crap. My criteria are how good the 6* units on the banner are, and how good the TMs on the other units are as consolation prizes when you fail to...

    Pro tip for Dragon Trial: When the Dragon uses boost, the ONLY thing it can do the next turn is release. So controlling when you take it past a 20% health threshold can let you skip the swallow that happens on every fifth turn. You can also use ability damage without triggering dragon's voice...
