Not really, there’s an older angel and we just got OTJ Jace that both care about turn #, and the mentioned Gemstone Mine for starting player. Really this was probably just acorn for power reasons, an evolving wilds that either scries or untaps probably isn’t broken but could be

Big rules nerd here, and you may already know this but for anyone seeing this new tech who doesn’t: Tamiyos safekeeping (or other indestructible sources) won’t protect a planeswalker from losing loyalty counters to damage, or for dying to zero loyalty. The reason is although it can’t be destroyed (indestructible), it can still take damage, and taking damage is what removes loyalty counters. It’s why the various Gideons that turn into creatures both make him indestructible and prevent damage, to avoid this situation.

Ofc, Tamiyo’s does protect against “destroy target/all planeswalkers” type effects

Ooh Locust God loves this! Worst case it’s a 6-mana sorcery draw 5 (not great, but workable). Or, it’s a flexible board wipe that leaves your many locust tokens in play. You can even do a cute play of copy the God, then bounce the OG, so the token doesn’t die to legend rule (since that’s only checked as a state-based action) so you get to keep your locusts and your God and have a backup in your hand.

Idk about accuracy, but if you take 10,000 shots and only 10% of em hit, you’re still crushing the scorcher betas in hit count 🗿

When they see my “Shots Fires” and “Shots Hit” stats 😎😳 (the sickle has crazy rate of fire) (my kills are in the bucket)

Hell yeah let’s fuckin’ goooooo. I came back from a month break to put in an operation to save the kids

Well, 2, since you have 3 opponents and myriad doesn’t make a token for the original you’re attacking. So it’s puts it closer to on-level for 3 mana green ramp, but getting extra attackers and all the eldrazi spawn synergies is still great

Yep, notably this doesn’t have all the basic land types like nearby planet does, which both means it can’t produce any color with a simple tap, and also means it doesn’t auto-fulfill all your domain with one land. It’s not strictly worse since Nearby has the Rupture Spire pay 1 clause, but Nearby is overall way more powerful assuming you can take advantage of domain-type abilities

So now we’re making actual people into magic cards eh?

I know he was in the assassins creed games, but it’s still funny to have an actual historical figure as a magic card. Can’t wait for my Teddy Roosevelt mono-green commander!

Oh thank goodness. Locust God is my baby, and I’m very happy with my Italian foil copy I have right now, but I was considering if I wanted this to have it. But no way I’m spending $200 for it lol

Woah that’s a cool take on Act of Treason! You want to actually hit with what you steal instead of just sac it or whatever. (Granted you probably still sac it, but at least you have the one extra hoop).

Got to play Cthulhu Wars with 3 friends, one was brand new and two had played two years ago so pretty fresh all around. I had a lead as Daemon Sultan, but made a greedy ritual play and got punished hard. New player playing black goat had the win in the bag with a ritual and 6 gates, but decided not to ritual and play with her food. She ended the next (final) round with zero gates and Cthulhu took the win instead lol

Huh, I was not aware ScorePal was abandoned, I’ve been using it since 2017 and still use it regularly. Guess that’s why the Google Drive backup is wonky now haha. Abandoned or no still a fantastic and functional app, maybe it’s proof of the “if it ain’t broke” philosophy

Edit: I’m seeing it was updated Feb 2022 to fix BGG syncing, are you sure you’re using the original and not a clone? Or is it an iPhone thing maybe? I’m on Android

One of my favorite pictures I’ve taken, playing Hive Pocket on a stream bed:

Jeepers, nearly 400 hours in one playthrough! Congratulations on the achievement, you’ve just joined a very exclusive club

Not personally a fan of 7 Wonders, while I enjoy drafting as a mechanic I don’t feel like it has enough heft to make an entire game out of it.

I LOVE 7 Wonders duel! The gameplay and decision trees get really interesting, and especially playing against the same opponent repeatedly whole metas and strategies develop and get beat and repeat. Never tried the xpacs, as I feel the base game is so tight and interesting and I worry about adding extra bloat into such a lean system
