    Well one thing is you can still get a huge effect out of mimic beacons if you use them more tactically now. Couple active mecs or mutons? Pretty much wasted. Couple vipers, sectoids, an andromedon, or a gatekeeper? Pretty big deal to rob them of a turn. Especially since in the case of vipers, if...

    Same thing happened with Pettis losing almost immediately after appearing on Wheaties.

    Because in some decks the value of running doubles of some cards outweighs the games where you lose because you couldn't activate Reno early. For example, Reno freeze still runs several 2 ofs. You could easily get away with running one or two 2 ofs in reno lock lists as well. There's some real...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    I don't read comics and I knew Cap dies in civil war. And why are you using a spoiler? It's already been mentioned that Ross is a villain, even if someone was too dumb to remember that he definitely wasn't a good guy in the Incredible Hulk.

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    Well they're going to be manipulated into it, presumably by Ross. Once the first shot is fired it's pretty hard to stop the conflict, and if Bucky gets framed for taking out Rhodey fairly early on in the movie, that could easily be why Stark and Cap come to blows. Stark is convinced Bucky tried...

    My first thought for C'Thun is building a Zoo deck around him. I can't imagine a meta where Zoo is ever not a ladder viable deck, but it's definitely getting shaken up pretty dramatically by the cards rotating out in Naxx and GvG and the rumors of a (much needed) nerf to Yuggler. Vanilla Zoo was...

    Eh, Dragon Priest is pretty proactive and games don't drag on that bad. It's just that I had gotten 4-5 golden classes in a month and didn't feel up to finishing off priest, and still haven't since, heh.

    XCOM 2

    Well part of that problem is that the AI 'cheats' and knows where you are even when they can't see you...which means they know where the mimic beacon is too. Only thing I've ever seen ignore a beacon is a stun lancer. I verified the cheating thing when an advent trooper rushed forward to shoot...

    I'm ~150 wins from golden priest and have been for a couple months. Just haven't been in the mood to grind the rest of them out, even though Dragon Priest isn't in all that bad a spot in the meta right now, despite the low ranking on tempostorm. Or maybe it depends more on the way you customize...

    Intredasting. Reckoner and Elder both pass the vanilla test, so perhaps a C'thun deck will be viable. Largely depends on whether or not those two are the only good C'thun buffers. Will be interesting to see if each class gets a C'thun card as well.

    Yeah in enemy within they just attracted the enemy, which could make them break cover in stupid ways but not nearly so powerful an effect.

    Now that I think about it, wouldn't bankruptcy be worse than an unpaid hospital bill on your credit? At least for close to a decade?

    Hmm, that's a good point. They should at least be changed to not count as exposed if they don't get cover anymore.

    You don't have to prove anything to me. While I'm sure that at some point I've posted something along the lines of 'have you ever even read the books?' in response to something you've said, I don't actually doubt that you've read the books. I just like making fun of you.

    Well yes I understand that vibranium is basically just magic, I wasn't actually trying to nitpick the physics of it. It's a shame that more time hasn't passed since Iron Man 3, otherwise his buddy from Kentucky or wherever it was could be Spiderman.

    XCOM 2

    They should still absorb an entire pod worth of enemy fire in the first half of the game or so, and later on they're still worth it for taking the heat off on multi-pod activations. I imagine people using beacons as a crutch to compensate for sloppy gameplay should find the game a lot harder now.

    XCOM | Age Gate Pretty stiff nerf to mimic beacons, but I still see them being invaluable.

    Oooooooh. Rewatching the trailer, that's T'challa lying on the ground when that building gets blown up 41-42 seconds into the trailer. I'm guessing that's a summit of all the world's leaders meeting to discuss/ratify the Superhero Registration Act, and that's why Black Panther is on the...

    I'm still assuming that the situation with Bucky is what actually sets the fighting off, and now I think somewhere near the end of the movie there's a big reveal that General Ross was manipulating them towards fighting each other on purpose. Let's not forget that even if they aren't doing Red...

    They may try to stuff some viscera back in with Whispers, but there is really no question that the loss of Naxx, GvG, and Murk-Eye is gutting the class. Paladin wasn't even really considered ladder viable until GvG introduced midrange with minibot, muster, and quartermaster (and some solid...
