We've been developing a game for 11 months. It's like Dave the Diver's restaurant management but turn based and blacksmithing & resource gathering like caving in Stardew Valley.

We just launched our Steam page TODAY!

Got three 7-win runs with @magic.wizards.com @mtgarena.com Selesnya Kona. Deck's great for Bo1; I think I wanna clean up the mana a bit - you need two white mana early. Also no reason for only 3 Evendo. Might cut 1 Seriema for something too.

Finally got 7 wins in @magic.wizards.com @mtgarena.com! (in Bronze LUL). I've never built drafting as a skill and wanna get better. I draft green + another color (and rare draft lmao).

Might take it more seriously at some point and go back to in-person when I have free time.

5-0 with my version of Kampo's @magic.wizards.com Dimir Midrange. I think I'm taking out the last Sunset Saboteur for a 4th bat or 3rd Tidebinder and then the deck's probably perfect. Also 26 lands vs. 25 feels SO GOOD.

Sideboarding is just 'put better cards in.'

Another year 100 achieved, this time with Stone Man. Mob is such a fun troop and I think they bugfixed Steel Coat.

Hello gamers!

I've found a cozy medieval game that I've really been enjoying and think y'all will like as well.

If you like Kingdom Come Deliverance or survival crafters, I would HIGHLY recommend Medieval Dynasty

New 9 Kings patch is awesome. I may have missed it, but I think they buffed/ bugfixed Greed's base. Having a lot of fun with it!

When you have a 124/124 and still lose next turn. Feels bad for the opponent.

Been having a lot of fun and success with @magic.wizards.com mono white tokens. Just messing around until the @mtgarena.com set rotation.
