Hypothetical: I have a fresh fiora, swing with a full board. They block with 4 dudes, I judgement targeting my Fiora. She definitely levels, right? Do I win the game right there, or does the game not check for Fiora's alternate win condition until leveled Fiora kills a mans?

Locke Dunnegan posted:I wonder if the reason that works is if it resolves all spells in a single step, and Claw is checked between # of spells cast and the actual effect of those spells, so it is counted as available for combat at both beginning and end of the check? Or it's wizards The wording on claw is play not cast. So the second your hand sees you have played two spells in a given round any claws you have get summoned from hand. Its triggering from your second spell not single combat and as claws is still on the field single target resolves as normal. Boxman posted:Hypothetical: I have a fresh fiora, swing with a full board.

PJOmega posted:But it goes to hand from the recall effect in the middle of it. Doesn't matter it's essentially a board state check. Have you cast two spells at any point of the round? Put claw into play. Lets say that claw survives the single combat and the opponent really want to make sure your claw stays off the field so they try to will it back into your hand. Will of ionia resolves putting the claw back into hand which will then fart itself back onto the board. Edit: Alternatively Claws gets farted out because although it returns to your hand according to the stack you have played two spells this round thereby farting claws back out. Incidentally this is why I prefer mtgs stack. Sedisp fucked around with this message at 03:23 on May 20, 2020 |

Yes also, if it’s the first card drawn in a series etc., it will hit the battlefield before drawing the next card for whatever that’s worth and if you have a full board, it can be a good way to just mill yourself Hauki fucked around with this message at 04:08 on May 20, 2020 |

Expeditions are a loving shitshow at the moment, with every other deck being seamonsters and/or stealing half your cards and what's the betting they don't actually do anything about it in tuesday's patch?

I don't really expect anything for constructed from the patch next week. Here are the top winrate decks on ladder: https://lor.mobalytics.gg/stats/decks You'll notice a lot of different archetypes with high winrates, all of which have different power cards. Boomcrew rookie, grizzled ranger, they who endure, and Vi are all run in extremely powerful decks that have very little overlap. What can you safely change, and for what goal? Buckets in expedition will be changed for sure tho (scout it out specifically will get nerfed).

ShaneB posted:After reaching finished collection I finished off Deep and Lee Sin stuff and holy poo poo Lee Sin decks are very hard to play well and Deep is loving fun. It just has such insane endgame. Have you played the mirror match yet with Maokai/Nautilus? It ends up being a very funny game of chicken with both players racing to get Maokai off first (which makes the bottom of your deck very likely to be champion cards, which means you can easily have the whole thing obliterated when he levels) or hold a Nautilus to shuffle back in tossed cards

Considering the wording I originally thought it mean it didn't even touch champs so you'd have champs + 4 non-champs, but nope! A single 1/1 spidey boy can survive Maokai but not a hundred Tryndameres

Pilchenstein posted:Expeditions are a loving shitshow at the moment, with every other deck being seamonsters and/or stealing half your cards and what's the betting they don't actually do anything about it in tuesday's patch? Not sure if we're playing at different times or with different MMR, but the strongest faction in Expedition currently by far is Demacia, followed by SI. Deep is good as well, but only really strong during the first few rounds in which you started with less cards. Other than that, you are usually winning or almost winning by the time they went Deep. Also the factions seems to be quite well balanced (other than Demacia as mentioned earlier), with the weakest probably being P&Z at the moment. Though I haven't had much practice with that region admittedly. PJOmega posted:If it didn't obliterate champions it would be awful due to champion spells shuffling champion copies back in. Exactly. This is why Maokai is like that. srulz fucked around with this message at 03:07 on May 21, 2020 |

I don't understand why that is an argument for it. I guess just to keep two no win con Maokai decks from cycling Sap until turn limit?

Maokai straight up wouldn't be a win con if champions stuck around. The card would destroy your opponent's deck, then they would just loop their champion spells forever which I guess could be a win con sometimes, but usually not. There's still potential for that, but it's not as common as you'd expect.

Literally who gives the slightest poo poo if someone does that though? If you're playing against someone who can completely stall you out with the same card every turn after you've blown up their deck then they deserve to win or tie. I mean, I'm not arguing it should change. I just think it's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, and isn't a problem if it did.

That's the whole point of the card, you win when you wouldn't otherwise. Maokai can win even if he doesn't have board control and is otherwise losing the game, the level up would serve no purpose otherwise.

I think Locke Dunnegan is saying "make the 5 remaining cards completely random", not "champions are immune from the obliterate effect". The latter would be a huge nerf, the former wouldn't change the power level too much but I think the mirror could end with two Maokais infinitely attacking into each other, regenerating, and playing sap more often than anyone would want it to

In expeditions: Damacia / Bilgewater feels like playing constructed. Pure Shadow Isles is evil, especially with a bunch of the drain 1 per unit that dies guys. Shadow Isles / Damacia is mega evil. Shadow Isles / Noxus is hard to get right though it feels like it should work. Bilgewater / Freljord has a lot of synergies and combat tricks Ionia / Damacia is not bad Ionia / anything else seems like a mess. Piltover & Zaun is OK alongside one of the good regions.

doingitwrong posted:In expeditions: It's interesting that the faction identity is even more apparent when doing Expedition. Like, currently I'm playing Noxus/SI/Bilgewater, and I'm just destroying stuff by very early turns. Throwing Whirling Deaths (battling unit strike battling unit) everywhere & putting down 2-drops with 5/2 stats & hitting the Nexus directly. 4 mana 5/5 also just eat all those Demacian units. My Nautilus is literally twiddling his thumbs every game, and I've traded him out for a Darius just now. Of course, I got absolutely destroyed by 2 Neverglade Collectors that never ever enters combat, so my Whirling Deaths are essentially dead. My misplay though as I've used my 5/1 Challenger a little bit too early. Though to be fair, opp does have that "deal 1 make 1 spider" spider, so eh. Though I find it curious that the devs saw fit to "nerf" Noxian Might bucket by removing the best aggro early attacker, namely the 1-drop 3/2. So there must be something that we are all missing here, and Noxus may actually secretly be the best faction in Expedition, since aggroing stuff down by turn 5 or so mean that most of the lategame bombs are essentially dead. Need more testing. Still, I'm starting to think that while Demacia is probably the best "fair" region in Expedition, namely in purely outvaluing opponent & grinding them down, the best "unfair" region is almost certainly SI. Kalista + Rekindler combo is just pure evil, and very easy to assemble since Rekindler is not even an Epic. Plus all those Neverglade Collectors. Plus the Vengeances. The list goes on.

Nah, so long as you practice at the deck and aren't pulling to the timer every turn. While working through platinum I timed myself with karma/lux for a bit and learned I play too quickly (leading to some obvious dumb mistakes) and omfg people are so slow. At least in diamond it seems people tend to have an idea what they're doing.

If Karma gets better next Tuesday I dont know if I'll be able to take it. If they have to nerf burn re-buff Hecarim or something, SI's early/mid game isn't oppressive anymore (although thinking about it I still cuss when I see Elise on 2... I guess they still have that one broken thing)

I've been climbing with a old undying deck that's mostly just pre-expansion cards, today Mogwai made a video of a undying/bilge version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV0WTGNbKE4 I was theorycrafting a undying deck with bilge cards but was always too lazy and cheap to craft the cards instead of waiting for random unlocks, gave this a run and it does seem stronger then the demacia version with Tianna being outclassed by the cheaper rally effect and vulnerable spam working real well with undying to make up for missing single combat. I am adding a caretaker or two into the deck and it slots in easily for those saplings to challenge or chump block.
