This Final Fantasy Card Is A Devious Addition To A Secrets of Strixhaven Commander Precon

Image
Magic: The Gathering’s Secrets of Strixhaven set is fast approaching (with prerelease this weekend), and for the first time since Tarkir: Dragonstorm , we’re getting five Commander precons with it. One of the more intriguing options of the bunch is Silverquill Influence, a white/black deck that blends artifacts and auras with a Goad theme – and there’s one Final Fantasy card that slots in beautifully. This Final Fantasy Card Is Spiking In Price Eye of Nidhogg is a Legendary Enchantment — Aura that costs one Black mana and two generic. It reads “Enchant creature. Enchanted creature is a black Dragon with base power and toughness 4/2, has flying and deathtouch, and is goaded.” If you’ve not come up against a Goad-focused deck before, the idea is that it pushes players to attack each other instead of the one goading them. This enchantment also triggers Killian, Decisive Mentor, the Silverquill Influence deck’s Commander, because as Eye of Nidhogg enters, Killian can goad some...

Slay the Spire 2 Roadmap Has No Release Dates So Dev Can Avoid 'Sloppy Spire 2'

Image
Slay the Spire 2 developer Mega Crit has published a detailed roadmap for Slay the Spire 2 without promising any release dates because it doesn’t want to make "Sloppy Spire 2." Studio co-founder Casey Yano outlined a host of new Early Access updates the team has planned for the popular deckbuilder roguelike in the latest installment of its The Neowsletter . The message comes with 17 bullet points featuring additions Mega Crit hopes to add on its path to a 1.0 launch, including everything from support for more languages and bug fixes to a new character and alternate versions of Acts 2 and 3. It’s an ambitious list with a candid catch: The studio doesn’t want to share a release date for anything yet. Players who returned to the Spire when Slay the Spire 2 launched into Early Access March 5 might be disappointed to see the lack of even the smallest release window, but Mega Crit wants fans to know it’s only keeping its cards close to its chest because revealing too much too ...

Arc Raiders Players are Disappointed in the New Expedition Changes

Image
Developer Embark Studios has once again announced tweaks to the Arc Raiders Expedition window, and players who have spent months saving millions of credits are feeling left behind. The developer behind the ongoing extraction shooter published a long list of adjustments for its prestige feature, which allows players to start over with bonuses depending on their performance, in a blog post on its website today. Instead of requiring the last-season switch of 3 million credits worth of stash value for the maximum amount of bonus skill points, Embark is removing the credit stipulation for the third Expedition and will now reward points based on damage dealt. The studio said it made these changes because "grinding for monetary value isn’t the most exciting experience," a point many fans seem to agree with. The catch is that players now have a five-day window from April 28 to May 4 at midnight to participate in and complete the challenge if they want to earn all five availa...

Here Are The Magic: The Gathering Secrets of Strixhaven Cards I Need For My Vivi Deck

Image
I’m no master deckbuilder just yet, but Secrets of Strixhaven (Magic: The Gathering’s next set) just gave me a pair of ideal Izzet (Red/Blue) cards to drop into a deck I already felt was finished. As with many, I loved how powerful (read: broken) Vivi Ornitier was in last year’s Final Fantasy set, so I took a pair of spellslinger decks, mashed them together, and put together something that’s all about casting as many spells as possible. Maybe I’m Not Quite Done With This Deck After All There will always be tweaks to make, of course: Spellslinger decks tend to get swamped by big stompy creatures if the draw doesn’t go your way, but after somehow packing a Confetti Foil version of Omniscience, if I can ride out potential awkward mid-games, I can start playing cards without their mana cost. So, what’s new in Secrets of Strixhaven? First up is Primari, the Inspiration. It’s a 7/7 with Flying, and makes up one of five Elder Dragons in the set. The Ward cost is 5 life, which is the...

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remake Reportedly Set for July Release

Image
In March, Ubisoft released the first piece of concept art for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced , confirming the existence of the remake of the beloved pirate installment of the series, and today we have a release date, July 9. The date was reported by Insider Gaming but hasn't been confirmed by Ubisoft as yet. In a (now deleted) March blog post from Ubisoft's Jean Guesdon, Head of Content did hint at the rumors of the remake. "Speculation around Assassin's Creed is not new, but it's worth repeating: " Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. " Well, except in this case, some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon. 🦜" The project's official name, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, was seen in December , when it popped up via a European PEGI ratings board listing. That sighting followed a few hints from the original game's lead actor . "Players can be excited about some ...

Resident Evil Adult Mod Video Takedown

Image
Capcom has forced a YouTuber to remove more than 1,000 "adult-orientated" mod videos showing Resident Evil Requiem characters in skimpy clothing. British streamer GrizzoUK reported being contacted by Resident Evil publisher Capcom's legal division, and told to pull down his videos or face further action. "It has come to our attention that these assets have been used to produce adult-orientated MODs, and that related videos have been created and published on YouTube," the company wrote in an email to GrizzoUK that he subsequently shared on a stream. Capcom stated that the mod videos were "inconsistent" with the company's Terms of Service, "as well as relevant copyright and intellectual property laws." In response, GrizzoUK questioned why his channel was being targeted specifically (as similar clothing mods are shown on numerous other YouTube channels), though he did ultimately remove the long list of videos. "I've gotta fi...
