There is lots to be said, many valid criticisms but that's not what this discussion is for, I wanna know the things you guys like. Personally I really enjoy the part system and how the under barrel attachments and alternate firing modes are actually good and usable, Im really happy they made that change. Borderlands 3 is easily the best Borderlands game to me personally but there are two things I would change if I could, make cross manufacturer parts a thing like 2, TPS and 4 (but more like 4) and make the under barrel attachments and alternate fire modes not suck apart from some niche circumstances.

Im just happy that loot is exciting again in 4, so many more guns are viable and it's a lot of fun to try out the different combos. And Borderlands 3 Maliwan guns were just not fun for a lot of people and like The Order guns in BL4 except you can find parts that make it more functional or more preferable.

This isnt functional or helpful but if you emote next to someone who just leveled up their Guardian Rank you will get an effect that makes you run faster and jump pretty high, and glow silver. Now if you get that boost and then level up your own Guardian you will also have the Golden effect and you will jump so much higher, the two effects add and dont override so you run faster and jump so insanely high.

Wish i remembered to get footage of this

Clark gets his two employees to come in with him and bring a camera for what he vaguely labels as "research" and doesn't elaborate. I really do think based on Clark's reaction to Big Clark when Big Clark picks up the camera is odd and tells us he already knew and had made peace with Big Clark. I think if that was the first time he saw Big Clark he'd be freaking out and screaming, I think Clark wanted to get a look inside of Big Clark's nest, and figured since Big Clark didn't hurt him maybe he wouldn't hurt "his" employees aswell but realized how wrong he was which is why he fully ran after Kat because he needed to get to her first to stop Big Clark from killing her, especially after he sees his nest.

​

They frame it as if Clark wanted video proof to bring to Mary but he doesn't bring it to her, he didn't actually go and prove it to her, I think that was a misdirect and he wanted video of what the hell went on down in that pit.

​

It's also important to note that Clark said there was a pool room, and "well kinda" and where does he end up trying to get to Kat? a Pool Room. Its interesting how he hasn't been on the othersside of that, cuz if he had he'd know about the one way mirror and even crazier if he made it to the pool room avoiding that and the nest considering how much he mapped out, but I'm gonna assume he only mapped the main floor he was on.

Do we actually have any reason to think it's evil, they show us all the photos that people took with the thing and it got lots of attention and then ends up deep underground in this once demolished mall. We don't actually see it hurt anyone right? Or get told about that, we just assume cuz it's all creepy and at the end it starts bashing into the wall.

What if it just wanted a friend, what if it genuinely just misses having that attention and people being around so when it finally sees someone again it awakens and starts following and gets sorta upset like a confused animal or young kid when the main dude is trying to escape so it starts bashing the walls or whatever.

This could be completely stupid, just a thought I had. Maybe I missed some things, maybe this is some already discussed and disproven idea, idk. I haven't done any reading or watched any videos about it cuz I wanted to think about it without bias or influence for a day and before diving in, put our my thoughts here.

Do you guys think this is possible? Like physically what could've happened if the giant actually got camera boy, is it physically capable of that? I mean it's only mode of attack to the wall it was trying to break was bashing itself back and forth. What if it would just follow him, get close to him and stand there hoping for a photo or something idk.

Normally I'm quite adverse to meta stuff, in standard I just build silly stuff like draw burn, changelings and my glass canon gruul aggro, but with Pauper I'll try almost anything.

I looked at the top few decks and they don't look all that interesting to me, I'm curious how screwed am I to go with other decks? My friend is building mono blue terror and there's a couple guys who'll 100% build the top meta decks.

Is there any sort of silly meta crusher deck or something that flies under the radar? I've always wanted to try pauper but it's never been a tunk around here until my LGS said they'll do a pauper night to see how it goes. I'm pretty excited but I'm overwhelmed with options. I saw a slimes against humanity list that looked fun, I saw mono green infect, and some other random ones. There's a bunch of black hand attack cards that look fun but I'm not sure how effective that would be.

I'm hoping to stand a proper chance, I would ideally like to not run meta stuff but if I gotta for pauper I absolutely will. I just don't wanna be mirror matching people. I've always liked the idea of a meta crusher deck but I don't think I'm smart enough or knowledgeable enough to make something like that, let alone it be effective lol.

What's the most fun deck, what do I build and play?

They would print all the Arena Alchemy cards that conjure bullshit and a booster pack would have 1 conjure card and 7 different cards that can be conjured but they have a silver border, an account stamp and a big old "THIS ISNT REAL, THIS ISNT HURTING THE RESERVE LIST INTEGRITY IN THE SLIGHTEST" disclaimer on each of the tokens.

They would reprint Oracle of the Alpha and the rest of the pack would have the power 9 but exactly as described previously.

And they would all have real magic backs so when you shuffle them in, and no sleeves are used they get properly hidden AND worn down! Just like back in the UNC years of yester, that way unc oldheads would be fully immersed and these new gen zoomer kids who never got to experience the glory days of un can suffer with y'all.

And this set would feature a lot of un cards that do awful inconvenient things like swapping seats and opponents with someone, an enchantment that lets you blindly cast cards from an opponent's hand, doing combat phases back to back each turn and the worst, a magic player having to shower, or even better, if it's a Yugioh players first time playing magic they'll be doubly cooked. The car would get benefits if you've showered today.

I see people's decks tend to run New Beginnings, Bookmark, that red power up card and a few other null cards. Do the starter decks contain those?

I bought 10 booster boxes of UFO and me and my friend were learning the game and building decks, but we noticed just most of the colours were incapable of doing much, cosmic and dark were crazy good and every other colour couldn't do much against those two with Ice being the closest, although we only had opened 2.5/10 booster boxes, I assumed I had seen 99% of the cards, but I finished off the third box and found a couple new cards in the "weaker colours"

I do wanna eventually get other sets, but I see these null cards tend to be a good way to just round out your deck, and I know constructed formats aren't supposed to be built out of one set but that's all I got rn. Me and that friend play a shitload of Magic the Gathering if that helps.

Or is there a better way to get these cards? No LGS anywhere near me has ever had Metazoo cards, not even sealed stuff so that's not an option.

I'll take any advice you got, whether about deck building, what to buy, deals, websites I should be checking out, resources and so on. With that being said I have a couple bonus questions, is building Multi colour decks worth it? It seems mono is so much more consistent since the mana system is really wonky compared to Magic, but there are those orbs that tap for two different aura types, leading me to believe some colours are sorta meant to go together.

I tried Earth and Ocean together and it sorta worked but I built it forgetting the Aura cost is that total, not like magic where seeing 3 and a symbol means 3 of whatever and 1 of that symbol, so I had to rebuild to lower curve stuff to make it work better. Is there any other set I should be targeting? Is it worth buying Cryptid Nation stuff? I love cracking packs but I also don't mind if I should just buy those staples on some game store's website that sells them
