    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    The changes that I expect to the Pilfered Goods and Card Stealing is most likely these... In general, whether they decide to draw from bottom of the deck or another solution, Card Stealing should not steal buffed cards...this affects Freljord way too hard, and it's already a weak region. Black...

    First impression is RIP Burn I think. It's been hit with a few nerfs that will hurt it a lot. Might still see play since it's cheap to make, easy to play and fast for ranking up, but it will be played a lot less. It might be replaced by another aggro type deck that isn't burn. I hope that's the...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    I agree that Unyielding isn't auto-win, but it's simply not fun to play against. The issue is there are too few counters to it and for most decks, once it is played the game is pretty often going to be a loss. The card is a problem, but the card on Fiora is the real major issue because of...

    I hope Unyielding Spirit gets removed from the game, honestly I’m on the verge on quitting the game because of Unyielding Fiora. Sure if I’m playing Ionia and have Will of Ionia it’s not an issue but otherwise it’s just not tucking fun. I don’t understand how that card could get past their...

    So I had a quest to play Last Breath units. I didn’t have a deck to really do this quest, and luckily Mogwai had posted a video of a deck with that theme yesterday which looks like fun, so I made it. The deck is a championless Undying deck, now the biggest problem these decks usually have is...

    Crucible

    I tried this a bit, I think bland describes it perfectly. It's not awful but there's nothing really that stands out. Releasing a FPS quietly with no marketing around the same time as Valorant is a bit weird. Well at least this way, noone will know the game failed since noone knows it exists. :)

    Tonight was rôle night I think, my 3 games were players who roped almost every turn, actually surrendered the last game mid-game with no clear winner because it pissed me off. I only play a few games a day, and this feels like such a waste of my time when most of the game is waiting for the...

    Looks interesting, I'll probably be trying it.

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    This was hilarious. I don’t remember the exact chain of events but it went something like this... 2 Black Market Merchant on the board both of which were plunder enabled and drew a card. The following turn i play 2 Pilfered Goods which were also plunder enabled so drew 4 cards...2 of which were...

    I'll go second then. :) In general, I expect nerfs to burn, or buffs to ways to counter it. Nothing specific in mind really but the deck needs to be looked at. Ezreal and Karma, one thing to be careful about those 2 is that they synergize really well together. They are both great in other...

    I made it from Gold 3 to Plat with only 1 loss to burn that drew perfectly. This Yasuo/Katerina deck is really fun and strong at this rank.

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    The thing with burn is nerfing it without nerfing other decks. I feel a lot of the cards that make burn are not OP on their own, or in other decks, they are just synergizing too much that particular deck. The reason I think Boomcrew will be nerfed is that it would not affect other decks much if...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    The thing with burn right now is this, it's cheap to make so lots of new player can craft it easily, it's fairly easy to play which again is good for new players, it's fast which is good for ranking up since it's generally easier to rank up playing lots of game than it is with a better slower...

    Another 3-0 with this Yasuo/Katerina deck which makes it like 9-0 now. Today was against a Teemo deck and 2 aggro burn, all 3 started kinda strong but simply ran out of steam. Strangely enough, I think Yasuo himself won me like 1 game, most of the others were carried by Katerina and Fae...

    You can't do that, it's a burst spell. I mean you can kill the unit you know is the intended target of the spell, but you cannot kill it as a response to your opponent casting it.

    Ok, first I have yet to see Unyielding Sprit on anything but Champions so far in my games, not saying it won’t be played on Followers, but I have not seen it played that way yet. That leaves 3 cards to counter it, Detain, Recall, and Devourer of the Depths if the card has less health then it...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    So much aggro burn right now it’s crazy, not super fun since it lacks interaction, they don’t care much what you do since everything they play is going face or does face damage. Unyielding Sprit is an awful card since it has so few counter. It’s not played all that much but if you see it and...

    I hate it when I forget to play around what should be an obvious play from my opponent. For example tonight I stupidly forgot about judgement which should always be on your mind against Demacia with 8 mana left, but no I want all in and got my whole board wipe out. I still won but it was a dumb...

    Extraction (2020)

    Just got around to watching this, really enjoyed it. I like movies like this that have a simple premise that is well executed and don’t get bogged down by unnecessary plotlines.

    It would appear that a levelled up Swain with two Citybreaker on board is pretty annoying for an opponent that can’t remove the Citybreakers. Having your 2 strongest units being stunned at beginning of each round is not fun. I’m just glad that I was the one with Swain. :)

    That was fun, steal Sumpwork Map from my opponent’s deck and use it on a levelled up Swain. :) Yeah LoR is probably the best CCG in my opinion, it takes the best from HS and MtG to become it’s own thing. It has a fantastic business model, which is mostly built around cosmetics which are pretty...

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    This show demonstrates what this IP can be in the right hands. The series evolved over the years to become mostly about Ahsoka and Rex(and the clones) and their respective journey. Themlast few episodes have be spectacular in my opinion, and this one about order 66 was great. The animation has...

    I’m an idiot. :) Full board, opponent has 2 on board and 3 life...I can open attack and win, but no I decided I want Lee Sin on my board to put on the left on attack to kick my opponent to death, so I play him for fun. There’s 2 things I’m too dumb to realize, I have Twisted Fate on board and...

    On which device? It's super smooth on an iPad. So I played a bit this morning, and there's 2 types of opponents I faced, tryhards playing highly optimized aggro decks or people experimenting with new stuff. Now I don't mind the tryhards since it does allow me to test my decks against optimized...

    Overwatch

    It’s definitely not a good sign that one of highest paid player leaves a game he’s been playing for past 3 years for a game in beta. I’m sure more will follow. OWL season 4 will have vastly different players I think.

    Damn, I watched @Ravishing twitch for a few games, then left to go to bed...about 2 hours later I’m still on my iPad playing this. :) That’s why I wanted a mobile version so badly. I wonder if Teemo is going to be a thing with all these decks drawing tons of cards. I played about 4-5 hours...

    Mobile is here finally and I love it. It‘a obviously the same client but with small adjustments for mobile, namely your deck is at the bottom right corner rather than in bottom middle and when you click on it it fans out in the bottom with card getting slightly bigger, it’s great for...

    Damn this is exciting. About the patch notes: MOBILE at last, I can't wait. This will increase my playtime which has been very little recently as I hate playing on PC, CCG are a timewaster for me so if I have time to sit at the PC I will be playing a "real" game. I prefer iPad for CCG, while...

    Damn they are releasing fast. Twisted Fate, too hard to level. That aside it's a great card, the flexibility that the 3 Destiny Cards offer is pretty strong, and all 3 are good at what they do. Blue helps his level up condition, and his spell card of Pick a Card also helps leveling him up which...

    Lots of reveals, new sets no matter the game is always exciting. Once again, a champion that is somewhat hard to evaluate without the whole set. He looks like he might have some interesting possibilities but it will depend on cards that support him. The powder keg is pretty interesting but it...

    Not much to add to @Ravishing post, I agree with most of his assessment. It looks like very interesting late game cards, it will depend on how the meta is, and other cards to see how a deck with these mechanics and cards could counter an aggro meta. I'll only comment of Treasure Trove, I hate...

    Fizz reveal video. Attune keyword: When I'm summoned refill 1 spell mana. It could be an interesting mechanic depending on the cards obviously. There are some issue with the mechanic though. If you already have 3 spell mana, then Attune gives you nothing so how are the stats...

    First impression. Lee Sin, as with so many cards revealed in last few weeks, it looks fun. He's probably going to come in play levelled up most of the time as his level up condition is very easy to achieve. He's fairly slow, and will not have immediate impact the turn he is played. I agree...
