With Kano pitch stacking, you can many different styles of knowing the pitch order. Personally, I roll with counting every card I draw, banish, or opt to the bottom. Once I get to 60 then I know I am at my stack and I usually stack tomes with blues and wildfires with blazings, etc. With the order, I count the blues as a number unless its a gaze the ages. Example: count is at 32 with Tome, 2( meaning 2 blues), WF, WF, Lesson, Tome, 2, Blazing. And you don't have to remember all the other cards underneath your main stack unless you know your main stack is not great enough and have to go further into your 2nd cycle.
Look up: PAO and The Major System. Those memory guides mesh well with mind palace.
The bulls eye bracers ban makes me less interested in Lexi. It was probably good for the game but it's just not as fun to me. I would take Bulls eye bracers back for a codex of frailty ban
thoughts on ball lightning as an unban?
What are some cards that restrict design space and do you think these are good or bad for the game? If they banned Sabers or Lumina would they finally print some good boltyn cards?
Have no clue who you guys are, 100% clicked because of the blues clues thumbnail lol
Strongly agree on banning Warmonger's Diplomacy. Cards that shutdown heroes like WD does to Runeblades and Azalea should come with some deckbuilding cost (e.g., Belittle and Minnowism). And there's effectively no cost in slotting a three-block, three-pitch card into your deck. GL at Nationals!
Pitch stacking tip was actually super helpful thank you for that!
I think Iyslander being so under represented makes it tough for people to really slot for her. Her representation with win rate is actually impressive.
This was a really good episode/convo. I found myself rewinding a ton.
I enjoyed this podcast. I was very interested in your move away from Iyslander and appreciate hearing your thought processes.
Ive moved to a more midrange viserai. Building runechants and swinging with reduced cost stuff… With nebula blade. In a way it does minimize warmongers because i will have a set up turn anyway, but warmongers is just a feels bad card. There is nothing I can do about it. No block no pay… Just consequence free action for the other player.
I 100% agree that Belittle did nothing wrong. Great episode guys, I really enjoyed listening.
