At this point the best decks have all been discovered. It's possible that there's one or two out there in the wings that nobody has figured out but it's also not likely. I'm a firm believer that a homebrew deck's greatest strength is the fact that people simply cannot predict what you're...

I still say that Patron Warrior needs a good nerfing (I.e. Warsong Commander). However, it's the beginning of a season and I'm once again reminded of why I hate Hunter so much. At the beginning of the season that is all you see. Literally 3 out of 4 matches are a Hunter of some sort. At...

It's solid. But there are so many 2 mana removals out there that it's not likely to stick often. I always mulligan for my War Axe, Frost Bolt, Wrath etc. It's a big fuck you to Priests though and when it does stick you've got a really cheap but strong minion on the board.

Where are you staying while in town? Do you have a rental carl? Define relatively affordable. There's a Brooks Brothers at Tower City. There's also a Men's Wearhouse in North Olmsted (about 15 minutes from downtown Cleveland) and in Strongsville (about 20 minutes from downtown). Both...

Aggro Pally is fun. Minions are sticky so Blessing of Might and Kings can usually find a target that will get to attack. It's also a blast going up against Face Huntard and putting them on the defensive. Most of them have no idea what it's like to have to think about making trades and they...

Summoner's RM2 is amazing and will be "required" in the future when we need to use Summons for trash clearing. Also one thing to note regarding BLM, WHM, And Summoner's Record Materia 2: The RM restores 1 charge for each SLOT that a corresponding ability is at. For example if you have the...

Sunday is experience day. I know some people like to only take one or two people in and get huge experience for those two but I go the route of taking 5 people in who all need levels and make my whole group stronger as a result. My strategy is to take a Summoner and a good RW like Sephiroth or...

I think with GvG that we were overly optimistic about cards. Troggzer and Bouncing Blade immediately spring to mind as cards that we thought would be great but didn't pan out. And, yeah, nobody saw Dr. Boom as a required card until GvG launched. I actually remember Boom being a sleeper. Then...

It's expensive but it's not bad. It's worthless against Aggro which doesn't run high health minions but it's good in control or, potentially, Tempo. For example most Tempo Decks don't run BGH (tech cards are hard to use in tempo mage since they don't have a ton of card draw and it's hard to...

I ran into my first legitimately hard Elite dungeon. Macalania Woods with the Spherimorph and the big Machina bosses. The first time I didn't have a fire ability so I couldn't get Spherimorph to switch out of Blizzard attacks. By the time it died I was too low on abilities to bother...

All 3 Final Fantasy XIII's essentially used the same combat system with slight modifications. It was actually phenomenal in XIII-1 but the problem was you could simply autoattack your way through the first three fourths of the game and not really experience it. It was solid in XIII-2 but with...

Spellslinger. Decent stats (3/4 for 3) but the RNG on it can outright lose you the game. If I get a silence and my opponent gets a Flamestrike... Yeah...

I never got the VI Hype. I liked it but I place it somewhere in the middle. I'm also one of the few who didn't think that Kefka was a great villain. I also think that their reliance on such a large cast was a mistake. I never really felt close to anyone since there were so many party members...

I think part of the problem is that they are trying to slow the game down. But they're going about it completely the wrong way. People will play with these new fun, but slower, cards for a week and then go right back to aggro when it's obvious that aggro is still king. They need to give us...

3 days worth of stamina and I finally got the Summoner's second record materia. That thing was a bitch to farm but it's incredibly powerful.

I was all gung ho to preorder a 50 pack but I'm having second thoughts right now. I've got nearly 6,000 gold saved and 2,000 dust. Unless we start seeing some non-garbage cards, I'll just dump that into packs and craft the few good cards from the set. Like I said though. They tend to...

Nope. I wouldn't use that in Tempo Mage. The whole point of a tempo deck is to use all mana efficiently as possible. A turn 3 where you hero power and pass isn't efficient normally. That's the turn you want to play a Kirin Tor or just a secret by itself if you lack better plays.

Actually it looks like there will be one more event before the Lightning one. It looks like the Tifa re-issue will be next. Works for me. She's the only character I'm missing right now since I started after the original Sephiroth event.

For selfish reasons I'm hoping we get one more event before Lightning and Sazh's event. I blew all of my Mythril on the Quistis / Selphie event and am just now starting to stockpile again. I've only got about 11 so far and that's a banner you blow everything you've got on so so another event...

Not terrible but also not good enough to really wow me either.

I agree with that: Focus on 3 star Abilities. The Breaks and the AGA Black Mage spells are most important. Curaga is also worthwhile (in fact I have a Rank 5 Curaga and a Rank 4 as well and will typically load both). 4 star abilities, right now, are mostly luxuries. The only one I'd craft...

One time a project manager scheduled a meeting relating to a company acquisition at 4:30pm on a Friday... "It was the only time everyone was available!" was his response. He wasn't too popular after that.

Despite my frustration with lack of 5 stars recently, I'm still enjoying it. I got lucky early on with a bunch of Danjuros and a Zantetsuekn (which I combined with the freebie they gave us). So I never really needed to rely on VIT0 too much and could complete most fights legit. The...

I know a lot of people here come from IT backgrounds (goes with the territory of being gaming nerds after all) but if anyone is thinking of career changes then Accounting really isn't all that bad. While I was working in Accounting at a bank, one of the Senior VPs once told me that Accounting...

Man, if my opponent ever drops Coliseum Manager, I'll be actively trying to keep that fucker alive. Giving up your Hero Power for a shitty 2 / 5 minion? Who the fuck is going to do that? Spider Tank is better in every possible way.

It's sad that the CPA exam is so much harder than the BAR and yet we get paid so much less...

I don't like the Coliseum Manager. I guess the idea is to drop it, use it to trade with something and then return it to your hand to play again. If so that is really slow and it's stats don't trade well. Not a big fan. Still waiting for the good stuff...

Everyone I talk to about my problem have all told me the same thing "Dude, you've got the life!" They just don't get how boring it is. It's not fulfilling at all. With that said there's a lot going for it. I'm closer to 40 than I am to 30 so the job security is really nice. I was laid off...

Melt Bar and Grilled (Independence location is our preferred one). The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a ton of fun and a must do. Those are my contributions.

I'm also a Government Drone (Federal). I work in an accounting area and just got my CPA license. I make decent money and I hit my 1 year in September which triggers an automatic promotion where I skip a full grade (I'll be making 11K a year more than I do today when that happens). I'm allowed...

Totem golem is really good. Four health on turn 2 is very hard to deal with. Overload sucks but it would be crazy op without it and it's only 1 overload. Lock and load is hot garbage.

Of the currently announced cards: Skycap'n Kragg: Only usable in Pirate decks. I.E. That deck you put together for Casual Mode Justicar Trueheart and Wilfred Fizzlebang: Both too expensive. As people have said the 6 drop is already heavily contested and I don't see these making the cut...

Generally they hold back the good stuff until right before release. But yeah, so far nothing is all that great.

I finally broke my 30+ pulls without a 5 star by pulling a Balamb Garden Uniform... Not the 5 star I was looking for... I've read that in the Japanese version they address 5 stars by increasing the odds of pulling one from a banner from 10% to 12.5%. In addition to this they also have 5 star...

So since Gjallarhorn is being nerfed they're going to add it back to Xur's table. Right? :-o

Yep. I'm betting on late August too. And if GvG is any indication, 120 packs will be my sweet spot. I'm still missing about 6 GvG Legendaries but most GvG Legendary cards were so bad I don't really care.

$50 for 50 packs is probably the best deal outside of Amazon coin tricks. I'll probably splurge and then dump all my gold on release. Should be around 120 to 130 packs which should get me most of the cards with dust to craft missing pieces.

I still don't get why people jump through such elaborate hoops to avoid triggering Hunter traps... If Trump had just popped those traps he could have cleared the board and kept himself in it. A Hunter is all too happy to have you scared of attacking and will just sit back and Hero Power you to...

So far things look pretty solid. Just like the previous additional cards I'm sure that they're holding the really good stuff back. But a lot of what was shown is promising. It's definitely going to shake the meta up.

I got my pack and won't be back. Games are over way too fast one way or the other so my primary purpose of playing a Brawl is negated (to gain exp on classes I normally don't play for golden neutrals).
