Laguna Chronicles: The Sorceress War

Oh there was a developer post asking about Sandman and Jeff and the dev said:

"No sand is too strong to stop Jeff".

My brain read that as:

"No, sand is too strong to stop Jeff"

lol my bad

Wow I never considered Jeff being able to go into Space Throne or a Sandman board as a 2nd card

He really can go anywhere!

He doesn't work with Sandman actually

Yeah that does seem a bit weaker not being able to just leave her on the board on turn 5. Kinda kills her niche as a Sunspot replacement but still good in flood decks or decks that aren't running 6 drops I guess.

What have you been playing so far? I don't have any motivation to climb this month and I'll probably take a break once this season pass is done but curious what you're using.

A scorpiond Mysterio puts out two -1s, which seems like a bug.

And if you use Bast on Mysterio all of the copies have 3 power.

If the original card was 0 and the copies were -1 it would be pretty easy to tell which one is the real one lol.

I think the remaster port has some frame rate issues on some PCs. I had to download a fix just to get normal framerate outside of battle but maybe it didn't fix battle. Watching battles online they look a lot smoother than what I saw seeing. I swear the battles were like 15fps before I switched to 3X speed.

Either way I'm not exaggerating when I say that I beat 99% of bosses by drawing first to see if they had anything new and then casting Mad Rush. Some bosses in the final dungeon obviously required more finesse but I was just putting my controller down for every other boss.

Guy played Hobgoblin into machine world which gave me a copy to stop his Galactus.

It's even more jarring in the remaster.

Also I played the entire game on 3x speed with the remaster and I think the battles would have been unbearable otherwise. Whenever I turned it off everything was going so slow. Final playtime was like 22 hours (I did not do many side quests or triple triad).

Yeah Laguna sections are good and disc 1 is great before it goes into cuckoo territory. But the party is awful and I did not like junction or 99% of the battles being won by using Mad Rush or spamming limits.

Yeah it's like this person loses 9/10 games by calling bluffs but the 1/10 they win happens to be against me.

I actually just played through this myself for the first time and finished it today.

It was okay, but as I'm typing this up I'm having trouble thinking of any positive elements except Squall. So maybe I didn't like it very much lol

I think the most annoying losses are when people call my bluff. Like I've played 4 different rock adding effects to your deck so I'm clearly setting up a Darkhark.

They're in a position where Darkhawk is 100% going to beat them but you stay in the same. I didn't manage to draw Darkhawk but why is my opponent taking a 1/3 chance on that.

I stayed in the game because I thought I might still beat him and his play would not have countered Darkhawk either.

I've never understood SM64 randomizer as a concept. How does that work exactly? Stars are just placed randomly on the map and they're all platforming stars or something?

Another loose plot thread from Wandavision is White Vision

I'm really having trouble finding any fun decks right now.

The only new deck is Bounce Monkey and I don't like playing a deck that completely loses to Killmonger on turn 6. Every game feels like I have to gamble on whether or not my opponent is playing 1 card that completely wins the matchup.

Every other deck feels like the same decks I've been playing for the last 6 months.

People seem to love that variant but I think it looks so silly.

Are you under the impression that all of his ant friends are going to stage a rescue or something?

I got this variant which isn't bad I guess. Maybe Quake will be usable one day:

I used to use him in a Patriot deck that tried to use Magik to get an Onslaught combo. It helped drawing all of the cards I needed by turn 7.

But yeah probably not great unless you're trying to hit a big combo.

Yeah it's stupid that the "optimal" play in this game is waiting until the very last second to snap or end your turn.

If you both fill the Raft on the same turn you both get a free card, priority doesn't matter.

But the animation only shows a card going to your opponent I believe. There's something weird about the Raft animation honestly.

Or rather if you both fill it at the same time. If you fill it first and an opponent moves a card into the Raft on the same turn obviously you only get a card.

I think the last character comes out at the end of this month.

Good to know! I remember when Deadpool got released there were some articles on gaming sites but I didn't hear anything about Venom or Morbius getting released. April - June are crazy for games though, might have to wait until after summer.

A Metroid movie does not feel like it would fit the tone of Illumination at all.

If they are really working toward a Super Smash Bros movie then I bet Samus just appears in that one without any build up. She can be the super serious, out of place character that gets played for laughs next to all of these fun characters.

And they already established in the Mario movie that Mario is a gamer. So he'd probably recognize all of the characters from his NES anyway. He'll explain who they are to Luigi or something.

I was considering getting this at launch until they announced the DLC character packs. That killed all of my hype and now I'm waiting for the full game to be released so I can buy it on a sale or something.

I don't replay games so I'd prefer to play the game when all of the content is actually released.

The Hub gave me Luke Cage loool

Cranky Kong sounded like an old Jewish man or something, it was a little off yeah.

Eh I kinda doubt that does anything to the amount Sunspot is played. Maybe some people start running Iceman but Sunspot is your protection against drawing bad.

The bummer about those buffs is that they're all going to be stat buffs though. They said they need full patches to make bigger changes.

Most cards just have design flaws, better stats won't help.

Ha that might be on you to think that Sentry would be a 16 power swing for a 4 cost card.

It would be pretty silly for a 4 energy card to add that much power to the board.

laughs in Shuri

Bouncing stones is hard because 5/6 of them draw cards. So you're always going to have a full hand so bouncing won't work very often.

Angela or Bishop would be better than Jubilee and Lockjaw. But your list is kinda awkward, there's much better cards you could be Beast bouncing than Okoye, Wasp, and Psylocke.

It looks like you wanted to make a Hit Monkey zoo deck but you felt like you needed to shoe-horn in the Thanos stuff too because it's strong right now. Just go full Hit-Monkey with Angela, Bishop, Mysterio etc and give it a try!

There used to be a deck you'd see sometimes that would follow this pattern

Black Widow on 2
Wave on 3
Odin in that lane on 4

So on turn 5 you're both waved again and they got another widows bite. If they play it they're basically skipping a whole turn while you get to Olay Doom or whatever.

Yeah old Aero created more "I literally can not lose no matter what card my opponent plays" situations on turn 6 than any other card.

New Aero is too situational to really be run in many decks anymore.

I don't think I've seen her once after the nerfs so IDK.

Dracula Discard is probably my favorite deck when it all clicks so yeah I'd suggest working toward that. Having a full board of Swarms and other stuff and then Dracula discarding Thanos for 20+ power is just so great.

Quake sees basically 0 play in any deck. Maybe if the locations shifted 1 to the right so you could actually plan around her effect instead of it being random she would see play but right now she's a card you'll never use.

Hmm did anyone else's monthly free card not reset? It says I can claim another one in 3 weeks but I've only claimed 1 so far. Is it not actually based on season but instead a 30 day limit or something?

I am now realizing that I already own all of the series 3 cards. I really thought Sentry had dropped to series 3 already.

Can't Leech me if I don't have any cards in my hand on turn 5!

It's a joke

Leech gets DEMOLISHED by Strong Guy discard decks

GG Leech players, embarrassing

Can you even still pin Kitty? Did they put her back in the game yet?

Pinned Negasonic TW in my shop today but the thought of spending 6000 tokens on her feels kinda bad.

Something about this feels very low budget like it should have gone straight to HBO Max. The CGI looks okay so I can't put my finger on why this looks so cheap.

I'm guessing he needed the 3 power from Shang

I mean the early game for most of those decks is some combination of Sunspot, Lizard, or Armor so they probably just didn't draw them.

But yeah it's a little sad that you can skip the first 3 turns and still put 20+ power into 2 lanes consistently.

But that's a fault of the cubes doubling on turn 6. Decks that win on turn 6 are always going to be "better" than decks that win earlier so yeah more people play those.

Yeah I really hate playing against Infinite players when I'm not infinite, glad they're fixing that soon. He won with a pretty standard Arnim Zola + Black Panther thing, glad he got to get his 4 cubes from that exciting win.

I managed to get to 80 with my Darkhawk deck so I'm good for the season now.

Last game was against a Beast+Falcon bounce deck. Quantum Tunnel was one of the locations so he dumped his hand on turn 6. Last card to get swapped from the Tunnel was Falcon which put basically everything back into his hand. Very funny

1 cube away from 80 against a guy with infinite card back. Spamming fist bump emotes and Hello at the beginning so he might retreat and give me 1 cube.

Long story short, now I'm 5 cubes away from 80

Yes, Kang is maybe my least favorite designed card in the game. Like yeah I can imagine coming up with that in the dev room and thinking it's cool but it's just annoying most of the time.

Daredevil is way better designed than Kang

Bar with no Name being featured is bringing out the worst fucking decks to play against.

Making us buy the rock avatar is kinda embarrassing for this game
