What are your recommendations for pred x prey adult novels / fiction

I recently finished the Duskwalker Brides book series (by Opal Rayne), I really enjoyed it since it was heavily inspired by Ancient Magus Bride but fully committed to the romance aspect. I am looking for similar stories that actually have substance and depth. It's really difficult to find high quality authors in the adult/smut genre, I've picked up and put down more books than I can count where the writing is so poor, it's a glorified fanfic

Are there any romance novels or series you would recommend, notably where

* The love interests are separate/adjacent species

* The "dragon or werewolf" (or whatever the pred MC is) doesn't shape shift into a human for 99% of the story

* Preferably has a subplot beyond just the romance

Magnus Midtbo back at it again..

Magnus Midtbo must be determined to get himself killed. Meeting with random strangers from the internet and following them into secluded and deadly scenarios. Free-soloing rock faces he's never seen before, and caving with little to no experience.

There are safe ways to enjoy caves, but this is adrenaline junkie stupidity.

What are the coolest boss arenas of all time?

Watching the video guides for Venomous Abyss, there were some stunning boss fights where the arena itself just makes the fight look so damn cool (Entombed Sentinels and Twin Fangs in particular).

For me, top five would have to be

  • Onyxia
  • Arthas
  • Yogg-saron
  • Sire Denathrius
  • Blackhand

Some honorable mentions:

  • Dimensius (Manaforge Omega)
  • Kiljaedan (both Sunwell and ToS)
  • Argus (Antorus)
  • Star Augur (Nighthold)
  • Wrathion (Nyalotha)
  • Volcoross (Amirdrassil)

Transition rooms included, what boss rooms are the most memorable to you just by looks alone?

Who are your "hear me out, if they had a paper bag over their face" hot takes?

Partner and I laughed our asses off at this concept: are there any characters (from games, movies, comics, tv, anime) where their face screams no but body screams yes for you?

Most Likely Legend to Break the two-color standard... Sort of.

Neeko, the Curious Chameleon

Last night at my LGS, another player and I discussed what the future of Riftbound might be like. And some of our talk drifted towards the question, "Will there ever be a Legend that breaks away from the two-color standard?"

Doubt was the initial reaction. There will almost certainly never be a 3-color legend, that's blatant power creep and would make all previous 2-color legends obsolete. So the alternative would be a legend that sticks with 2-colors but perhaps they are variable? My mind immediately lept to Neeko, as a shapeshifter and doppelganger type of fighter, it's not too crazy to think her colors could be variable. Maybe Green + Wildcard, or something to that affect?

This is obviously just speculation/theory-crafting but it's certainly fun to think about.

Have you ever disliked a card's name/art/aesthetic so much that you will never use it as a commander?

I often scroll through commander lists and decks and every once in a while I see a card that is either so repulsive, creepy, or cringey that I can't imagine ever running it as my commander. I imagine people come across commanders in different ways, my most common way is picking a theme and then finding a commander that works well for that theme.

One card for me is [[Arabella, Abandoned Doll]]. It's strong, but damn is it creepy.

Are there any cards like this for you?

What are the best and worst edh deck themes for beginners/casual play?

My friends and I rarely play magic and often come back to the game after a long, 5 month break from play. Sometimes we come back and watch as somebody struggles to pilot their deck just because they're playing a trigger-heavy deck theme.

From your experience, What are some of the best and worst edh deck themes or wincons for beginners/casual play?

Which cards are "Mass Land Destruction" vs "Land Destruction"?

Extremely casual/nooby player here, a friend joked about leveraging "I run [[Boil]] in my deck btw" as a way to shove a blue player off of counter spelling his commander. As a casual player raised a bunch of questions about the differences between Mass Land Destruction and regular Land Destruction (which for brevity I'll refer to as MLD and LD going forward). I admittedly follow the bracket system a little too closely in deckbuilding and saw that MLD is bracket 4 only. Is LD legal in all brackets below 4 and if so what counts?

I suspect "Destroy all lands" counts as MLD and "Destroy target land" is LD. Which category do these belong in?

  • "Destroy all Islands" [[Boil]], [[Tsunami]]
  • "Destroy all Plains" [[Flashfires]]
  • "Destroy all Forests" [[Acid Rain]]

Lastly, what's the general consensus on MLD and LD? Is it just an unspoken rule to never run it? Is it a valid way to get ahead or is it just too unfriendly/bad for the game?

Why is the CMC the same?

I've been making a Golgari deck and looking into optimizing my card draw options. I found Harmonize and was surprised to see the same effect, without the drawback (no pun intended) with the same CMC.

Is Harmonize just better for no reason or am I tripping up on color identity differences?

Riolu's name was tarnished in them there waters

Trackmania player "Riolu" held many world records but he cheated by slowing the game down (via CheatEngine) to drive tracks with impossibly precise inputs. When confronted with the evidence, he attacked the people who brought it to light before deleting all his socials. He never apologized or acknowledged what he did was wrong and further wronged the Trackmania community by continuing to operate under other aliases years after his original 2021 scandal.

Every time a new Riolu alias comes to light, you can't help but imagine a literal pokemon cheating in a racing game with the demeanor and ego of a sweaty FPS gamer.
