    We one-shot ra-den server first on accident on our first pull after 60% of the raid died instantly. As a Brewmaster tank I was literally unkillable thanks to vengeance and proper cool down/stagger/guard management. Shit was a combination of insane and hilarious. God I miss raiding actual...

    Monk community created its own reforge calculator to ensure that you had the maximum raw number of stats with mastery being ever so slightly higher than the rest (including recalculating enchants gems and potential upgrading). This led to Rune of Reorigination making WW monks go super Saiyan...

    Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

    I may not be smarter than a fourth grader but thanks to the FoH forums I'm reasonably certain I could take roughly 28 of them in a fight.

    The reality was likely that reforging didn't push engagement metrics enough because it made most gear "fine" so less minmaxy folks probably just stopped chasing upgrades "too soon" each tier. Also, the monk community and our RoRo reforge shenanigans may have contributed

    Just give me back the two-step item upgrade system and have warforge/titanforge be free upgrade steps. Same end point, less grinding if you're lucky.

    There's a datamined a scaling -corruption aura too, so there's probably going to be something to grind to let you use more corrupt gear at once over time.

    At this rate they're going to pour so much RNG into WoW loot they'll have none left for Diablo 4 and it'll all be fixed-stat, specific-named drops.

    Too many people that "dreamed of working for blizzard one day" ended up working there, instead of people actually good at their jobs. My friend working at Bioware says it's the same over there, a bunch of folks who made it their career goal to work at a place where none of the people...

    This will definitely be the most fun time period for the format. Modern was pretty great for a couple of years while people were still cooking the format down to the 100 good cards

    You can probably build a pretty fuckin rad Grixis Artifact bullshit deck in the new format. They kept printing partial support for it over the years.

    The nice part, price wise is that while prices will go up, it's got a way larger supply of these sets than the pre-r2r sets, so you shouldn't be looking at jund level deck prices.

    Got in, played through it up to the faction-unlocks grind. Pretty fun. The Champion "level-up" requirements are a nice way to impact deck-building while also creating a positive "quest"=>reward emotional feedback during play. The shared-turn-structure and being able to actually interact on...

    Watch their model be even more predatory on the "omg i just watched a hype game time to build that deck" crowd ;) At least with pack opening you despair of building the deck anytime soon from the start!

    I enjoyed the Withered Army Training and the Chromie Deaths "self-improvement progression" scenarios, even if they were tuned more towards derps than say, the mage tower. So I look forward to these "visions." Was kind of hoping 8.3 wouldn't have anything interesting looking so that I could use...

    It's how it works for triggers in physical magic too, because interrupting a resolving effect to do triggers actually creates a bigger mess in practice than waiting (a lesson WotC learned while running other card games like L5R way back when), even if waiting creates some corner cases that feel...

    Triggers aren't created until the effect triggering them resolves. So both lands are in play by the time the game creates triggers to put on the stack, and field "sees" 7 different lands both times it checks.

    I pretty much just buy a box of each set at the shop to make up for the nights I'm in there not spending money for hours at a time playing EDH or Boardgames. Never expect to get my value out of sealed product, but it's fun to crack.

    I love draft too. Pressures different skills. Sealed leans much more heavily on tempo awareness (due to an overall weaker deck cohesion, tempo mistakes are generally punished much harder) and deckbuilding skill than most formats. Draft is superficially similar, but draft deckbuilding is a...
