    if your mac & cheese is coming out grainy, try incorporating canned evaporated milk into the sauce; alternately you can buy sodium citrate on its own and use that; it's the stuff that makes American cheese melt smoothly.

    Ok. I've crafted Dante, and I know there is talks from the devs about nerfing Dante and whining from players about said nerf.

    My opinion. Right now, Dante is ridiculously powerful. Offence, Defence, Crowd control. Dante does it, and more.

    His exalted weapon. Ridiculous. Powerful primary fire (delivering 100% slash) with kills counting as scans and fully scanned enemies getting even more status. On top of that it has a bit of Astilla effect, with hits shattering into more shards that hit more enemies (the 3 armed murmur-guy who is usually a problem? Not a problem). Secondary fire is usually a 100k-500k "obliterate everything" if you spec it for crit.

    Light verse (2nd power). A bit under powered, but it's fast casting, cheap, heals, overguards and fuels the 4th power.
    Dark verse (3rd power) is ridiculous. Big cone which ignores line of sight and deals slash+guaranteed slash proc. Not so fast animating, but still cheap. Also breaks crates. I haven't tested doing Xaku-stuff with Dante, but he's probably going to be right up there with Limbo and Xaku for crate-farming. While still being a powerhouse of offense and support. Note: If you build a second Dante (He's not hard to farm) and helminth him Dark verse might be a really good ability to put on Ash.
    Final verse (4th power) is ridiculous. All of the 4 abilities are extremely powerful. Dark+Dark shares the LoS ignoring ability of Dark Verse.

    So to sum him up. Spammy and powerful abilities. Ignore LoS on offense having access to powerful defensive abilities (for the team and themselves!) as well as moderately powerful CC in his Dark+Light Pageflight ability. Also, despite having flexibility with Final verse the ability is much more intuitive than other flex-frames like Xaku or Equinox.

    Needs a nerf or there is no reason to play anything but Dante.

    I got some higher grade matcha to try to see if it doesn't trigger allergies like the low grade stuff did

    The electric whisk I bought with it was a little confusing about loading the batteries into though so uh it fried itself.

    Guess I'll just have to do it in a jar from now on?

    Or maybe my cocktail shaker lol

    You can use a fork, or anything with tines/brushes. I use a silicon pastry brush. A proper (not electric) matcha whisk will run you around $10 at most if you want to go that route.

    Thanos got an interesting nerf - forcing him into your opening hand, Quicksilver-style. And since the power of Thanos rests in the Infinity Stones, yeah, I can see the logic here.

    We've got a solid handful of high-impact changes to the metagame coming between this OTA and our next patch, pull out your cauldrons–it's time to brew!
    Thanos
    [Old] 6/10 - At the start of the game, shuffle the six Infinity Stones into your deck.
    [New] 6/10 - Starts in your opening hand and shuffles the six Infinity Stones into your deck.
    Given the consistent and dominant performance of Thanos, additional changes were inevitable. This is the first stage of a larger range of adjustments we're going to make to the Thanos and Infinity Stones package. Our goal is to focus more heavily on the Mad Titan, with the expectation that narrowing the overall flexibility of Thanos decks will reduce how often these decks take heavy advantage of powerful new cards aimed at other strategies. This may be a more damaging change than you expect to the current builds, as Thanos has almost always claimed the highest winrate in the game when not drawn.

    Time Stone
    [Old] 1/1 - On Reveal: Draw a card and give it -1 Cost.
    [New] 1/1 - On Reveal: Give Thanos -1 Cost next turn. Draw a card.
    We are pursuing changes to more than one of the Stones, but because we're not ready to execute on those just yet we're taking an even heavier hand with the Time Stone for now. Our last change also did very little to the actual winrate of the card, and we'd rather not miss again. It's possible we'll return some strength in the future as other Stones change, though we intend to keep the focus on Thanos as discussed above.

    Miek
    [Old] 1/1 - When you discard a card, this gains +1 Power and can move next turn.
    [Change] 1/1 -> 1/0
    We adjusted Apocalypse slightly in the last patch to tone down Discard decks a little, and it had the desired effect on Apocalypse. However, Miek has since surged out in front on the back of a previous adjustment, and has by far the best winrate in these decks now. That's especially concerning for a 1-Cost card, because we measure winrate when drawn and turn 1 is the least common turn on which to draw a card (ignoring Limbo). This kind of performance in spite of theoretically being much less effective to draw on turns 4, 5, and 6 is a strong indicator we should remove some Power or increase the Cost, and we prefer the former.

    Crossbones
    [Old] 4/8 - You can only play this at locations where you are winning
    [Change] 4/8 -> 4/10
    There's been a lot of debate around which downside is stronger or weaker between Crossbones and Cull Obsidian–we've decided to let you all settle it in the streets. Either way this is probably Cull's game to lose, just because there are multiple good decks where Cull already shines, but it'll be fun finding out. Plus, we'd like to add a little bit more support for Skaar.

    Sabretooth
    [Old] 3/4 - When this is destroyed, return it to your hand. It costs 0.
    [Change] 3/4 -> 3/5
    Many are saying "3/5 is the new 3/4," and they may be onto something. We've been fairly happy with how many of these 3/5s are working out, and we expect to make more changes over time to balance out the range of Power among our lower-Cost cards as the game grows deeper. Sabretooth is fairly analogous to Black Swan as a "vanilla" card with no effect unless you lean into it during deckbuilding, but Destroy-based decks are also very competitive when it comes to exactly which 12 cards make the cut.

    Angela
    [Old] 2/2 - After you play a card here, +1 Power.
    [New] 2/0 - After you play a card here, +2 Power.
    Angela's back! The metagame has shifted to create more space for the "small ball" decks that leaned heavily on Angela to scale for late Power, so we're adjusting in kind. Will this be enough to return decks like Silky Smoove to the metagame, or do they need more help? Time will tell.

    Baxter Building
    [Old] Whoever is winning this location gets +3 Power at the others.
    [Change] +3 -> +4
    Do you get it? Yeah, you get it.

    Thanos is so fucked.
    I'm actually bummed out, I didn't play him anymore because I never got Blob or Caiera or Cull, but he was the first series 5 I ever had and I was hoping to get some of those cards to start playing him again, I think playing with the stones is super fun.

    Both thanos and agatha now have the same wording of staring in your opening hand but function differently where agatha is giving you an extra draw but thanos is taking up one your starting draws.

    Thanos feels pretty bad just trying out current version I had with him in it - even if you do manage it; the game just has enough other ways now to cheat out 20 power. Time stone only discounting him for 1 turn just makes your plays too restrictive.

    But hey they did find a way to make the thanos deck not just the best all around deck for a bunch of stat heavy cards

    Well they did state that this is the first stage of a series of changes to Thanos. Personally, I like the idea of buff/nerfing the stones and making Thanos the actual win condition of the deck. He's one of the biggest, big bads, so give him his due.

    that thanos is the worst card in the deck in every thanos archetype is a massive failure. it's good that they're going to take him to the chipper shredder both from a game balance perspective since thanos decks have been tremendously annoying since blob release gutted his natural counter in darkhawk, and in a thematic perspective as you should be like ah shit it's thanos when someone plays thanos, not think oh they got hard fucked on their draw and played the by far worst turn 6 option in their deck.

    What they need to do is stop it all resting on the Power Stone. Give him like +2 for each stone played, and then let the power stone make him “can’t be destroyed/reduced” (but Power Stone still could be/Enchantress’d)

    My wife and I have season tickets. The market value has been below the face value often enough that it’s a bit irritating. We had the opportunity to move to better seats next year for roughly the same price when they opened up, so we went for that, which helps.

    Tom Wilson, this morning, in response to coming back for his first game back after his 6 game suspension to swinging his stick into a guy's face and breaking multiple (previously broken fake) teeth:
    It's one of those plays where it happens really quick, obviously I'm not trying to get him in the face there at all. He's a tough player. Tough part for me is he doesn't miss a shift and I'm gone for six games. It's a tough pill to swallow and when that's the case, it felt like a long time.

    I've never been a stick player; I've never swung my stick. Unfortunately, it was bad timing, and one I'd obviously like to have back and just moving forward
