Realy loved this + 1/1s with haste deck in Standard. What would the most powered up version of it look like?Bomat Courier 1st comes to mind as an ugrade
>>98100461>the Commander banlist is genuinely worse than the fucking Vintage oneHow do you mean?
What's the best way to age up a proxy card so it doesn't look as suspicious on old prints?
>>98102192Just play it without any sleeves for a couple of games.
>>981021921. Take a magic eraser and rub it firmly but slowly on the surface. After a point it rapidly starts to remove ink, so your goal is to remove coating or whatever from the manufacturing process2. Using the blunt edge of a steak knife or the edge of a metal ruler, apply some wear to the corners or edges. Don't be too over the top. Follow by using your fingernail to roughen it up, especially on corners. Aim to make it look slightly dog-eared like a well thumbed book3. Rub it vigorously against stiff denim, wood, an old playmat etc. Do not rub it against bricks or any other abrasive surface4. Bend, flex it etc without creasing. Intentionally add binder dings. DO NOT TRY TO ADD SCRATCHES. This always ends up looking fake>You can do the following in any order5. Take an old bulk card you don't care about from around 1995ish, think Ice Age, Alliances etc, best if it's black or green. Pressing down very hard, rub it vigorously against your proxy. The idea is to generate enough heat and friction to transfer ink from the donor card to your proxy.6. Gather dried coffee grounds, used and dry tea dust or tea leaves, coarse sand (used in gardening etc) small bits of non-sharp or only slightly sharp metal like springs, stiff aluminum foil etc, and whatever else you can think of. Do not use sharp objects like metal shavings. Place these into an (optionally lined with coarse sandpaper) container. Place your mixture into the container with your proxies, close the lid firmly and shake the hell out of it. You may want to do this a couple of times and leave it between each shake. When finished, remove them from the container and use a tissue or something to clean the surface.7. You can optionally place your proxies in the sun for a little while if you'd like to emulate some very old printings like Alliances, Ice Age etc where the ink on reals has faded to a bit of an off black.Treating your cards as though they're real when you play them will do wonders too.
Has /mtg/ ever run a poll to determine what the most common favourite color here is ?I suspect B wins, maybe R

I spent all my MTGA Wildcards so I could play Standard again. I made mono-green landfall. I am too wildcard-poor to make the Selesnya version. It's nice having a current deck again. I forgot how bad the MTGA economy can be if you fall behind a bit.
>>98102177The banlist is actively terrible because players push back super hard on banning problem cards, claiming it erodes the idea of a casual format, but if you actually try to build a deck that operates strictly within those lenient rules the same players championed for, they complain then say you should follow a DBD-tier list of unwritten rules to keep the format "casual".
>>98102423>problem cards>thorn of amethyst varint
>>98102428bait used to be believable

First time I'm seeing this card reprinted. I know very little about it. Is it big in premodern or something?
>>98102681not really, some solution (UW midrange) decks play it but I guess it's more of a commander card
>>98102706>CommanderTypical...
>>98102719I meant to say duel commander, since Cloud, Phelia and Light-Paws play it. But yeah, it's mostly commander players who buy these secret lairs nonetheless
>>98102706I play it as a one-of in my UW midrange premodern deck because it's a hilarious blowout that usually wins me the game if it resolves that people have never seen before
>>98102681it's big in duel commander (1v1 cedh with a separate banlist), every mono white commander wants a to run it because free interaction is pretty good in the format
>>98102746I’ve never played commander and love buying secret lairs. I use them for cube and general coomlecting. My cubes are often just an excuse to coomlect.

Thread Question
>>98103125Xenagos did nothing wrong.
>>98101421>TQI just like having lots of wee guys
Can this game be saved?
>>98103259No.
>>98103259Only separating it completely from Commander could save it. Separate design teams, separate everything.Yes commanderfags can probably still use Magic cards, but the Magic cards won't be designed with Commander in mind. The way it used to be.
>>98103259Kill EDH, is too late to do it, but that's the only way.
>>98103320EDH is 99% Magic.
>>98103354EDH will never be real Magic
>>98103394Only in your head. If it's all there is, it is real Magic.
>>98103259I think so, but it's gonna take a while, and I'm not talking 5 or 10 years, I'm talking 40 to 50 years, the culture needs to change in order to magic to get better and that takes time
>>98103426Go consume some slop, pig.
>>98103443You are the one consuming slop.
>>98103259>make all UB cards legal only in commander>stop designing cards for commander>never make another modern horizons set ever again>make standard rotation 2 yearsthere, I fixed magic
>>98103658>he didn't ban existing MHGood luck never seeing a new deck in modern ever agin.But i guess Standard is playable now

>>98104037good thing this guy is on his way out, he's like 60 already
He has nothing to say on the matter though.
>>98102370Cinema.
This is peak lich card design. The closest thing to the Platonic ideal of what a lich card ought to be.
>>98104037Why this disingenuous faggot is in charge?
>>98104271He is not in charge. You've been intentionally mislead.

>>98104251>character best known from Reasemblin Skeleton>zombie tribal slop
>>98104293It's annoying to see the same tribes getting support over and over again while others are completely overlookedWhere is my skelly tribal support mfs
>>98104280holy shit I remember that thread, I made it on accident
>>98104407Right, /mmg/ died way before that
>>98104293If you think about it skeletons are just a degraded form of zombie.
>>98104549That depends what part of zombie is the actually reanimated on. Like if you separated the muscles form the bones, which one would be moving?
>>98104280i miss the times before modern horizons raped my favourite format to death...
>>98104313I don't even mind that some types are tribalslop while others just exist, but if you're making a card just as a nod to flavour text fans, which one of those 2 creature cards said obscure character appaeard on would be more exciting to put into a deck with the character?
>tqlove my lil nigga, the Timewalk of pauper.
>>98104251>lichIf they're not a card type, they're not real. Liches aren't real.
>>98104902It's cool that thanks to EDH players, WOTC got away with both killing standard AND turning Modern into a rotational format.
What did they mean by this?
>>98105006That’s interesting. Which cards?
>>98105042
>>98105006The right one is funny.
>>98105006>>98105053Weird stuff, even more weird considering their reprints.
This kills the Smaug.
>>98105006What a Graphic Design abomination the OG one was, holy. How could Jesper let that one slide.
>>98105082because it looks like the Sun? Honestly surprised the current one hasn't been cancelled yet, given how much it resembles the sonnenrad.
>>98105053I have that printing of Wrath!
>>98105193Because is an asymmetrical, unneven mess of a shape. I have no idea what a “sonnenrad” is, but i recognize bad GD when i see one.>but it looks like a sun!!1!That’s what a 11 year old would say. New one also looks like a sun, but it’s 1000x better and visualy coherent.
But why the sun for plains
>>98105472Cause in a filed nothing gives shade
>>98105485here's my design for a possible filed mana symbol
jund sac is back babyalso I think this guy forgot to put a learn card in the deck otherwise that singleton decorum dissertation looks kinda random
>>98103259>Can this game be saved?Yes.>WILL this game be saved?No. Too much money in pumping out UB funkopop slop and commander staples.
>>98105485Nirkana Revenant is my favorite shade.
>>98105626If you're the only player of the format your win rate is actually 0% not 100%
>>98104313Some tribes are just meme tribes.
>>98105776>If you're the only player of the formata challenge only fires with 32 players anon
>>98105776It works fine on my machine.
>>98103259yeah but its not gonna happen because wotc only cares about pumping out more garbage for commander players who will buy literally anything if it brainlessly goes into their commander deck the best way moving forward is probably just for more community led formats and trying to disallow as much wotc meddling as possible
>>98105776kek why is pauper so dead anyway? it had a strong start
>>98105859pioneer* i'm dumb
>>98105859>>98105885Competitive support shutdown.Luckily it will come back next year. Retards at WotC know that they can't milk competitive retards just with Modern and Standard garbage (absolutely unbearable formats btw)
>>98105859>>98105885it was a combination of multiple factors>COVID restrictions forcing everyone into arena and EDH back in 2020>FIRE design shooting the powerlevel of the format through the roof>WotC dragging their feet to ban combo decks that everyone hated>last PT was in 2024you can also add that it took them like 3 years before people could play something resembling pioneer on arena through the explorer format and that they straight up gave up on bringing full pioneer to the client, what we have now is "tournament pioneer"
>>98105917>they straight up gave up on bringing full pioneer to the clientWhy?
>>98105922Cause the arena team is a bunch of lazy jeets
>>98105922same reason the lazy fucks don't complete what could be added with two anthologies to have "competitive Modern" into arena, because they have a bunch of monkeys and the code is also raw pasta.
>>98105006Pretty sure they wanted to see how it looked because of >>98105193

>>98106176>random graveyard effectsUnlikelyAlso it should have horsemanship instead of flying, because bizarro
>>98106204you just reminded me there's no cavalry archer card with horsemanship and first strike/reach and now I'm sad
>>98106220naw, shadow
>>98106193Would this realy be broken if it just made walkers enter with +1 loyalty?
>>98102423>they complain then say you should follow a DBD-tier list of unwritten rules to keep the format "casual".They actually formalized these "keep it casual" guidelines last year. The biggest problem with the system is that the average EDH player is a sub-90 IQ troglodyte.
>>98106256>The biggest problem with the system is that the average EDH player is a sub-90 IQ troglodyte.This has been the largest problem with the format since its inception. That's exactly why these type of broad guidelines are not effective in the same way as a banlist. ("Dude I swear my Vivi doesn't usually win before turn 9!") Not to mention that average EDH player is really fucking stupid so they can see someone with 20 mana open and 15 cards in their hand, and think that they're still going to have a close game until that person starts committing to the board.That's why the EDH banlist needs a sweeping revision to bring it in line with the Legacy banlist at a minimum. However if people actually want the "casual" format they claim to desire with no feelsbad cards like Force of Will which serve as major safeguards against all-in combo decks, it would probably need to enforce a power regression down to Pioneer levels.

Fascinating how on MTG:A I either get swamped with nothing but land cards or literally can’t get a land card at all, in back to back games, over and over. The proportion of lands doesn’t matter at all, they’re just going to fuck you regardless. I don’t understand why they’re like this. Is there really such a bigger profit incentive to be rigged as shit? You really can’t just profit off an honest game? Why?
>>98109266If you're not tracking it on an excel sheet you're going based off vibes, and vibes are vulnerable to the negativity bias.
>>98108484I thought it was mercury
>>98109266Stop playing bo1.
>>98109331It’s not vibes, it’s literally: after my opening hand in one game, I get nothing but land cards without exaggeration, and even using scry and putting them at the bottom of the deck, the next card is STILL a land card, to the point that I have to quickly concede because I just can’t play. Then the very next game I have to concede just as quickly because I’m discarding cards I can’t play due to not getting a single land card. It’s blatant both ways and clearly intended to force me to lose.
>>98109018Too bad that instad of return to post-revolution Kaladesh we got Avishcardrift

You're tasked with destroying Pauper by slipping a single already existing card into a shitty Commander precon as a Common, regardless of previous printing, while Maro is asleep. You know for a fact they won't ban it until they've sufficiently monitored the format for two or three years, so it will have plenty of time for people to figure it out. What do you pick?Hard mode: No reserve list cards

>>98111683>>A CARD NAME IN ALL CAPS WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT!Probably a sound effect, or "EXCELSIOR!" or something.
>>98111753>>>Mutant Scientist Hero>BeastKind of funny that Beast can't be a Beast due to a lack of room, because they insist on using Hero or Villain for every card.
>>98110985Jitte
>>98110921Enjoy your card game brother
>>98111905Nah, it'll be HULK SMASH!
>>98111906I mean, he's not a Beast by Magic's own ways of using the type. He's a Mutant with fur.
>>98111865No wait it isn't this.
>>98111893And that's the thing, I thought of Limited too. But it's fucking awful there as well, no way you'd want to draft a 5 mana UNCOMMON brick for 1 (one) conditional damage per turn: picrel is from an earlier set and offers the same value for a fifth of the cost while also providing a conditional bonus to the creature.
>>98111922No way*
>>98111922>>98111941>>98111865It could be Arcane.
>>98111865I was gonna ask why they gave this one a new art but of course it's China and spooky skeletons.
>>98111910You know the only place I have seen this card? In these threads.
>>98111683>Creature – Dragon Cat Dog Bird Frog HeroThat's more creature types than any other creature ever, right? Not counting Changeling of course.
>>98111683How can someone stomach this shit of a set?

>>98112239What do you mean?
>>98112279Something something how dare you know things about Marvel.
I will be happy if there is something to shake Pioneer. I'm tired of Hearthbend and UW control.
A real Shandalar set has never been tried.
>>98112307pioneer is pretty stable, even if there are good cards it's gonna take at least a couple of months before they find their place
mmmmm

>>98111683>“Ward – Get five poison counters.”I honestly hope it's standard playable. Sounds like something fun for a midrange deck.
>>98112194wdym she looks just like Aragorn. Don't you like tolkien?
First time posting on /tg/ long time /vp/ poster. Just found these in boxes of my old stuff. All are complete with all cards they came with.
>>98112732I'm also trying to figure out who/what exactly that is. Hazmat maybe?
>>98112842It's Hormuz now
>>98112839Sapro Burst from Replicator is probably worth a pretty penny.

>>98111683>>Dragon Cat Dog Bird Frog Hero
>>98113712>Gambit.Gambit would more likely be in the X-men set and would probably have some sort of discard to do damage effect. If we have to have a card themed guy this set then it'd be Jack of Hearts, an Avenger
>>98113803Do creatures with Changeling get 10 counters then?
>>98114132Changelings are also human so no, also it's just a lord that gives +1/+1 per type while it's on the field, not counters
>>98111683reading that felt like reading picrel
>>98111683>A CARD NAME IN ALL CAPS WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT!
>>98113380I came up with a Simic Planeswalker that's a Shapeshifter from Kaldheim. His static ability is that he's treated as all Planeswalker types, and his abilities revolved around tokens with Changelings and turning into a copy/creating copies of other creatures (with Changeling). Lore-wise, he'd be a researcher obsessed with tranforming into every sentient being in the multiverse in order to learn everything about them and catalogue them. The Phyrexians and Eldrazi horrify him though, and he hates Zombies and cyborgs.
>>98112194Holy shit kek
>>98112345How could they think the new sliver design was a good idea? Was there a copyright claim on the old one?
>>98114288
>>98112169It is, it even beats out those Zendikar Rising creatures that are treated as every Party type as part of their ability.In terms of lenght though, The Reality Chip still has the longer printed typeline.
wait what
>>98114291They were just like that in M14 and M15, and most of those cards have since been reprinted with alternate artwork of the classic pickaxe-faced worm creatures. It's fine.
>>98114291They wanted to show slivers evolved and peak of evolution as we know it is humans
>>98114347I'm still wondering where the idea came from.
>>98114330Yeah, MH3 came with associated Commander decks, as do most sets these days, what's surprising about it?
>>98114356They should have been crabs.
Why did Tribal become Kindred?
>>98114365Because it's considered "problematic" in current year.
>>98114360>>>/Reddit/
>>98114365Cause no no words are literally violence. Not my job to educate you sweety
so is mtg almost entirely commander now? as in, that's what's driving sales? no one seems to be playing draft anymore and even the tournaments feel more like a side event than the face of the game.
>>98114365Because "typal sorcery" is spiritually painful to say and looks even worse in writing.

>>98114532Wow, a cube is as good as you make it.
>>98112842>>98113685Strange that Marvel doesn't really have notable poison users. Hazmat and Radioactive Man aren't even poison users, they have radioactive powers.
>>98111683>Dragon Cat Dog Bird Frog Herojust
>>98114590I would say I'm surprised we're getting the Pet Avengers, but they're exactly the kind of glup shitto they'd include because muh cute animals being badass.
>>98114600So it's Frog Thor, Captain Marvel's tentacle cat, Lockjaw of the Inhumans, Kitty Pryde's dragon, and the Falcon's falcon, but who is the sabretooth tiger?
This is pretty solid sideboard, right?
>>98114632how does this work with maze of ith
>>98114606>Kitty Pryde's dragonHis name is Lockheed (no relation to Lockjaw).
>>98114643It just untaps the creature
>>98114288she's a genius, don't you know?you may confuse her with the hundreds of black girl geniuses plaguing entertainment media nowadays.
>>98114659White women were a mistake.
>>98114660>
>>98114659All-Questioning, Infinite Analyst and Paradox Sculptor are pretty cool. They make my inner Timmy feel like maybe math isn't just for dorks.
>>98114660>>98114668>women
isn't Babs Webb the name of one of Luke's friends in the first Star Wars movies?
>>98114681
IS THAT A HECKING TOY STORY REFERENCE?
>>98114750Yes. So what?
>>98114695Why does she get to wear a frilly dress like she's a gothic horror heroine but then literally every other person on the plane dresses in like tubular 90s kid streetwear? I mean sure people from different cultures might dress differently but she appears to be the only person who walks around like that.
>>98114606>but who is the sabretooth tigerZabu, the pet smilodon to Ka-Zar of the Savage Land, one of the biggest literally whos in Marvel. He's made a few guest appearances in some cartoons, but otherwise hasn't had much exposure outside of comics.
Wouldn't this be pretty good in a changeling deck?
>>98114820>Why
>>98111683>A card that can tap for four mana in any combination of colorsEither the Fantasticar or HERBIE.
>>98112194I cant, hence why I'm skipping it.
>>98114820Well, you can see her dress has a dark blue chevron pattern in front. That's a motif shared between basically all of Duskmourn's Survivors. Survivors wear modern-looking clothes with colored chevron patterns, Razorkin wear a mix of Mad Max-meets-Hellraiser cosplay and clown costumes, and Cultists wear moth cosplay robes.I think there may have been some offhand mention in the story about Marina being dressed in the "old style" when they moved into the new neighborhood, but I'm not gonna bother to check. But I know Rosewater got questions about the Survivors' appearance and how they looked to be in good health and wore clothes in nice condition, and he deflected it with a "well, maybe that's just how they looked in the past right after being consumed by the House."It'd be convenient if some of the artists shared notes or visual explorations from the world guide document, so we could see how they developed the tribes' looks and what references were provided to the illustrators, but alas, they haven't treated us to that.
why is this nigga on reserved list lmao
I sleep.
He... He looks like me.. He's built like me... I... thank you
So this is what bump limit does to a man.
>>98114836>He's made a few guest appearances in some cartoons, but otherwise hasn't had much exposure outside of comics.he was insanely broken in marvel snap for a solid 6 months or so, I hated him so much, then he got completely gutted and now he's nearly unplayable
>>98115159Marvel Snap keeps making random deep cut D-listers the best cards which I find funny. Apparently Darkhawk was a menace for a long time.
>>98115173>Apparently Darkhawk was a menace for a long time.yeah, he was the center piece for the best midrange deck for a long time until they had to nerf the deck into oblivion
>>98111683So which one is Kid Kaiju?
>>98115192I hope he gets a card to be honest. He's got like no notable stories or anything, but he's been around for 30-odd years and seems to endure entirely on having a cool design.
hi
>>98115300I can't see it.
>>98115357I think the idea is you have Ball Lightning, Handoff it so it dies at the end of turn, then Corpse Explosion it after? It sure is a thing you can do, but the first part is 7 mana so why would you.
There are better targets to give.
Oh hey some comic cover variants of cards got shown. Weird rules text for this.
>>98115437Cute.
>>98115445Keyword soup but make it green.
>is healed
>>98115450And I guess this is the backup commander for the Fantastic Four deck.
>>98115437I don't like this manlet.>>98115445I don't like this tin can.>>98115450I'm ambivalent about this primate.
>>98115467
>>98115437wtf is that ability
>>98114578Yeah, I was racking my brain trying to think of one who would fit and kept coming up with DC characters. There's probably some obscure Silver/Bronze age villain I'm missing, but it's a weird thing I've never noticed that they don't have any prominent characters with those powers. Maybe it could be a reference to the time Captain America was abdicated to crack? Streets of Poison seems like the most well-known story that fits.
>>98115561Basically you have to kill him with destroy effects or large bursts of damage. It's not the FIRST time they've tried this, though this is a more 'fixed' version.
>>98115568I mean, I can see them using poison counters just for somebody that's toxic to people around them, like the aforementioned Hazmat (constantly generates radiation and has to wear a suit or she kills people). And it'd be on somebody who you don't WANT to touch, so again, Hazmat or maybe Radioactive Man. They could re-use rad counters but I doubt it.
>>98114820She's effectively an immortal untouched by the apocalypse, so t makes sense that she looks different from everyone else on her world. Not defending WotC, just autisticly compulsed to provide a watsonian explanation.
>>98115568You mentioning Streets of Poison made me remember that the Red Skull used to use poison as one of his gimmicks, it's why his face is a red skull to begin with, so it could be him.
Emma Frost card where
>>98115621In the X-Men set.
>>98115597Yeah, I'm hoping for Radioactive Man after enjoying him in Ewing's books. Hazmat has been dead to me since Arena, along with the rest of the Academy cast. Little disappointed it isn't rad counters, I really like that mechanic and have been wanting it in standard. Maybe they'll go way out of left field and use the Imperfects Hazmat.>>98115617I thought about him, but it didn't feel right for a ward effect.
>>98115621Not until next year at least, only mutants who were involved with the Avengers get to be in this set.
>>98115437There is no way the text on the card is the best way to describe the ability happening. Abysmal templating. 100% more readable: "Whenever ~ is dealt damage, heal any previous damage that was dealt to it this turn."And yes, the "heal" part is correct, it just hasn't been used for much other than rules text on some cards.
>>98115639I'm kind of surprised Storm's in, honestly, considering her being an Avenger is relatively recent. Wolverine, sure, he's in every fucking team, Beast was... Not allowed to be an X-Men for a while for reasons, but Storm's predominantly a big X-Men character.
>>98115686The way you've worded it means that two separate instances of damage would kill him. The current wording's needed to make the idea that you need to do a big hit work.
>>98115686Yeah nah, under that wording if a Wolverine that took 4 damage previously that turn takes an additional 2 then it would die once it hit 6 damage before the initial 4 is removed
>>98115561You need 5 damage from one source to kill it. You can't bolt it twice.
>>98115695>>98115710Not saying my text is correct, but the wording on what made print is awful and there must be a better way to convey it.
>>98115751I'm pretty sure it has to be a replacement effect to have the desired concept. The only other way it works would be the aforementioned Ogre Enforcer text >>98115574 , but that's even clunkier and also doesn't feel 'correct' for Wolverine's healing.
>>98115437Why not heal him immediately after taking damage, if it's not lethal, rather than waiting for the next time he takes damage to do it?
>>98115853Probably easier to understand. If he healed after taking damage, some people might think he just couldn't be killed by damage at all.
>>98115437>>98115445>>98115450>>98115453This unironically looks worse than fucking TMNT... What a time man.
>>98115879Surely that could be avoided quite easily by spelling out it only happens if he survives the damage, or if he receives non-fatal damage?
>>98115947>>98115947>>98115947
>>98114820She's supposed to be the nerdy rich girl that dresses a century out of date.
>>98115690Storm is also a fan favourite and a STRONK BLACK WOMYN, so WotC would be creaming their pants at any chance of adding her anyways.
