>>94269595>cant play on spelltable
no, you combo with it anyway so you can shortcut the coinfilps wins to draw your deck
>>94269610Glad this faggot quit and fucked off. Talentless freeloader
>>94269619I've never understand transformers.
>>94269595>TQI'm just sad the bloomburrow ones are too pricey. Anime art in mtg is either bland or a huge improvement depending on the og art.
>>94269687Proxy
Is this true bros?
>empty my huge smelly mana load into exile
>>94269687That is what proxies are for, my fellow anon. In fact, with proxies your cards can be both anime AND coomer!
>>94269595>What are your thoughts on Anime art for cards?Two nuclear warheads weren't enough.
>>94269704it has become so bad it rotated back over to being funny again. like a speedometer
>>94269704Don't screencap your own retarded posts
>>94269720Anime website, tourist.
>>94269736It isn't 03.
>>94269736Fuck off to your cont/a/inment zone, then.
>TQI two rules for cards when picking the style I want:1. If it has a classic border, use the classic border2. If it has anime art, override rule 1 and use the anime art
>>94269717most of them are AI slop though, it's so rare nowadays to find actual man-made coomer proxies
>>94269760>1. If it has a classic border, use the classic borderClassic border sucks
>>94269763AI is one of the worst things to happen to mankind.
>>94269763>man-made coom
>>94269768>Classic border sucksSo does your mom, but we are not kink shamimg on 4chan.
>>94269768
What is it with Eldrazi, Annihilator and the eternal commander butt hurt?I've tried playing pic related with a mid power list for the third time and my pod refused to play against me.
>>94269625Not now, not ever
>>94269812if your opponents let you setup this guy over like 6 turns then they deserve whats coming to them
>>94269720Oh yeah, because the dogshit video game concept art style mtg has had for nearly two decades now is way better
>>94269812because decks that hit 10 mana on turn 3 tend to either roll the game or get vandalblasted and then don't do anything. may as well ask why your low power krenko list gets blown up. colorless decks tend to be mana rock tribals into the good eldrazi no matter who the 5c colorless commander is.
one of my first decks was an illusion 60 card deck, cool to see the dude from phantasmal bear's flavor text as a card but... he doesnt really have anything to do with illusions? they could have at least given him a lord of the unreal effect to make dogshit illusion cards playable, at worst he fits in any blue tribal deck
>>94269625No. You will proxy Lion's Eye Diamond and live with it.
Who would be some good options for a mill/theft commanderI fucking love Tasha but she feels unplayable in a lot of games or I just don't do anythingI kinda wanted to lean more into a full on mill deck since my Tasha deck does a decent amount of milling but without much payoff and I'd there's no good sorceries or instants to take she feels awfulWould Phenax be a good option or should I check out other peopleI was also thinking of grixis options going with nekusar to mill and wheel, or don Andres for theft
>>94269812guess what, playing with Annihlator is F.I.R.E, but having to play against it, not so much.Apparently wizards knew that this mechanic kinda sucked and didn't want to bring it back - but WotC talks an aweful lot if the day is longPlus Eldrazi, much like Slivers, are just the go-to tribe for kids that always wanted to be Golden Power Ranger on the schoolyard
>>94269886I'm still going to put him in my Inalla deck he's a great reanimation target to refill my hand
>>94269898Bruvac
>>94269757you could change 4chan with the mtg brand, boards with all sets including UB and anime with strictly universes-within
>>94269898Captain N'ghathrodLazav, Dimir MastermindWrexial, the Risen Deep
>>94269898always lazav, mill as wincon is tough to actually do consistently but you still mill and you could still steal
>>94269898>Who would be some good options for a mill/theft commanderEVERYBODY GETTIN UPGRADED
>>94269926Everything is so combo heavy now how do you benefit from stealing a single card from the enemy
highly problematic bleached adeline.how did this get approved?
>>94269942Adeline is a guy?
>>94269926So with him if I mill like 10 creatures in 1 spell do you get every etb at the same time or do you only get like 1
>>94269942Not as bad as Tezzeret.
>>94269938back it up with counter magic, you're in blue, add in some more stuff to suit up lazav, since he's immune to spot removal, and swing your resident green players super bomb into him. hexproof + countermagic makes him quite tough to get rid of
>>94269679Big mecha as superheroes but they can blend into society also like superheroes. They also don't appeal to me, but I can see why people would like them.
>>94269898i cant cast permanents, so i try to make some tokens with some utility Spells like Artifact Mutation, and i Copy/Steal whatever my opponents have. I run Inevitable Betrayal too.Its not super busted, but fun enough to play.I run Insurrection though, which can induce be a bit of salt sometimes
>>94269954you dont get etbs from lazav but if they had any active abilities you could have him transform into those cards in whichever order you choose since the mill happens under one effect and you can stack the triggers as you like.
>>94269920Nghathod sounded cool is it just horror tribal essentially with some theft cards?
>>94269973I get what they are but it makes no sense. They're from a planet and are basically aliens, yes? Why are aliens giant metal cars based on human design? What is the explanation for beings from space to transform into 18 wheelers that didn't even exist 100 years ago?My biggest amount of knowledge of transformers comes from the Universal Ride.
the unquestionably strongest goblin commander for 11 straight years COMIN THROUGH
>>94269710Would be funny with pic related + opposition agent.
>>94269998he is arguably stronger
>>94269984ye basically, still keeps afloat by dealing damage and still milling so if your opponent plays a titan youre not completely fucked out of the game
neat reprint
>>94270020>krenko post nose reduction surgery
>>94269990Back on Cybertron, the Transformers have alt modes based on Cybertronian technology. When they arrived on Earth, they scanned local vehicles so that their alt modes would blend in. For example, on Cybertron Starscream was a Cybertronian jet, while on Earth he's an F-15.
>>94270013Fug
>>94269595I hope we get a Burger King UB Secret Lair.
>>94270035Ok that makes much more sense
>>94269710anyone playing this?i can see the potential if its turn 8+, you havent missed your land drops and just want to draw into gas, but this has to be totatlly dead until then
>>94269595I wish it had a real art version but just as sexy, i would play that. I'm a weeb but i would only have anime art if i could have a whole deck like that.
>>94269595putting this in my Mardu villains deck
>>94270062The only time I saw it was on xmage in a maelstrom wanderer troll list that played that, this Jace and the rest lands. Was a shit game.
>>94270054
>>94270054I'd rather an actual meaningful fast food place like Mcdonalds or Jack in the Box or Wendys or Jimmy Johns or Subway or Taco Bell or In n out or chik fil a or The Habit or one of 50 other places more popular than burger king
>>94270062Seems fun to set up an engine of pull of eternity, eternal witness and like a crucible of worlds for guaranteed land drops for a few turns.
>>94270106lolcow
>>94270053well maybe if you somehow got the mana early. at that point if one of my opponent took lands outta my deck while I have 6-7 I'd be glad most of the time honestly
>>94270053I like using the Pacts with Sudden Sub, but the convolution you’ve brought up here seems fun.
>>94270023It's just commander shit not even a real card.
>>94269595Newb question here:I'm playing a deck with 28-32 of pic related and have Thrumming Stone (whenever I cast petitioners I look at the top 4 cards of my library and can cast anymore I find from among them, repeat) and Intruder Alarm (whenever creature enters, untap creature) out.Can I tap the petitioners every time a new one is found? Eg I have 3 pets and cast a 4th, tap them, ripple triggers because of the 4th, I find a 5th, they all untap - can I tap them again at this point before I start fishing for the 6th, 7th, 8th etc?
>>94270158mm yeah damn those commander players amirite?
>>94270162I assume you either proxy'd that or are using the default. You didn't actually spend hundreds on those, right?
>>94270173commander ruined the game and my favorite formats. It's totally not the RL making people unable to even play some formats, nor me buying tons of Modern horizons ensuring it becomes a rotation set. It's commanders fault.
>>94270162yes, you respond to your own triggers
>>94270162hmmmmmm i think you have to cast them all cause its when you cast a spell it triggers, they would still all be being cast on the stack iirc BUT i think when they resolve one by one you can intruder alarm then, could be wrong tho
>>94269998Reject optimization, embrace goblin waifu.>>94270023Nice cheap enabler for Rakdos lord of riots.
>>94270188>my favorite formatsWoTC did that. Everyone fled to EDH because it was the only non-shit format(and it's still pretty shit)
>>94270193Thought so, but wanted to be sure before I committed to a Bruvac deck.>>94270180I just mug people at FNM.
>>94269942Cards for japan are always whitewashed because they have to actually sell them in Japan.
>>94270212>I just mug people at FNM.You should go to vintage events. Can literally become a millionaire.
>>94270226They didn't have to for every other anime made.I don't remember Scar being white washed in FMA.
>>94270209Looks like that anime guy from those shitty mobile game ads
>>94270209Still waiting for a sexy Goblin. At least that one isn't hideous.
>>94269886Generic good tribal effect that's better in Human, Illusion and Wizard decks because he counts himself. I like it.
>>94269886A lot old illusions could be any creature type, like proto-changelings.
>>94270236>cards>animeread again anon
What is this goddamned timer thing holy rotting fuck man
>>94269886This is such a terribly generic and boring design
>>94269886reminds me of picrel.but this such a boring design, i couldnt imagine building something around him
How do we like our new anime commanders so far?
>>94270427Why no Gold cards?
>>94270427I don't get why anime art doesn't bother people who cry about UB. It does not fit magic at all.
>>94270453
>>94269717This Bigdad level of hyper voluptuousness is absolutely grotesque.
>>94270209Would have still preferred she took notes from Ardoz in the outfit and looks department, but I'm just glad we're getting more girl goblins.
>>94270453Because it's beautiful
>>94270442All of them are infinitely more appealing than what we usually get
>>94269619They would never be so Baysed>>94269679Alien robots fight war under philosopher-kings
>>94270442Jumpstart packs are made to work with just two colors for any combination, though they only see fit to put hybrid mana symbols in abilities rather than mana value for cards for some reason>>94270453Anime treatments are nowhere near as far ranging though people are bitching about it since it's the default treatment for new cards in this release which is a first time thing
>>94270453It doesn't really fit, but a lot of WotC's recent art feels designed to be bland and inoffensive, and just ends up as unappealing as possible as a result.
>>94270453You're just looking at the wrong places
>>94270427Gornog seems neat.Dionus seems neatI'll build Aphelia if the card isn't 30 dollars or some shit. I have wanted a sexy Gorgon chick to build, and the only non-garbage option was Vraska.Nazar seems cool.>TaekoI have no clue what the fuck is happening in this art. Seems ok but boring.>NeerdivHOLY SHIT I WANNA FUCK THAT MERFOLK. Too bad she seems like garbage a a commander. No one beats Bruvac as a mono blue mill commander.>ThuridTWILIGHT SPARKLE SUPPORT!>PsemillaNeat inclusion in enchantress, I guess. I dunno.Everything else is boring.
what are some funny cards for double power theme?
>>94270453It bothers me because I don't like the style, but we're at the point where at the very least, they're all in-universe cards
>>94270427Gornog looks fun
>>94270427I want to build the goblin
>>94270538>I pilot the Titanic with Leonardo davinciLove the stupidity this card creates
am I reading this right that if a 3/3 beast enters, it enters with +1/+1 and thus triggers his fight clause
>>94270427I would die for shroofus Fumulus seems fun but I already run a zoraline deck so i don't need more lifegain/lifeloss shenanigans
>>94270427idk help me figure this pic out
>>94269595fuck yeah, i love Rogues!They seem to constantly get good support too
>>94270427I like the beast, the minotaur, the bug and the skeletondon't care for the rest, also way too much waifu art
>>94270580That's not sideboob, I think those are just pectoral muscles. Everything else is awkward as you pointed out.
>>94270427I am definitely testing Taeko as my ninja commander, interested in Rev, Evereth, Aphelia, Neerdiv, Qala and Brigone
>>94270573Slinza only gives beasts an 'additional' +1/+1 counter. Her won't give them one if they don't enter with at least one +1/+1 counter already, so no the 3/3 would just enter as a 3/3 and not trigger it However, a 2/2 Beast that was entering with a +1/+1 counter from some other source would get the additional one from Slinza and thus be a 4/4 and trigger the fight clause.
>>94270580AI
>>94270427who would be the best goth gf tribal commander
>>94270580You are schizophrenic
>>94270522>>94270543These two basically. I would say the entire art direction feels very bland. Mostly composition and poses that don't really try to be anything. But also artstyle. Anime cards may stick out, but they're also a bit of a breath of fresh air.Well, at this point they hardly stick out anyway.
>>94270610
>get gf into MTG>teach her how to play>expect her to never want to play again but she does>help her make mono green deck >help her pick out cards>try not to spoonfeed her too much>we do bloomburrow prerelease together>play 3 or 4 times as 1v1>she makes a couple more decks>we probably spend 45 dollars building her 3 or 4 magic decks>she loves looking through the cards>doesn't want to actually play>talks about how in the future someday we'll play MTG all the time>I stop bringing it up because she doesn't seem interested>we haven't played MTG in 2 monthswhat do I do? feel like a retard I helped her make multiple decks only for it to go on the pile of "things we'll do when we live together"
>>94270613why
>>94270427Fumulus makes me want to make a Hollow knight themed deck, some really cool designs in there but I wish there was some different styles of art being used, you can make anime style but still have it stand out
New kinnan tech just dropped, it's KOMA 2 BOYS
>>94270610boy do I have a deck for you.https://manabox.app/decks/H26xY4y_RrODGcZxEo2Qkw
>>94270427>tranime>but at least the majority of characters are the same skin color as 90% of the player baseWe'll never heal, but this isn't a wound to us.
>>94270604>Slinza only gives beasts an 'additional' +1/+1 counter. Her won't give them one if they don't enter with at least one +1/+1 counter alreadyNot how that works. If a creature enters with no counter, the "additional" still triggers and adds one counter. Same way shit like Grumgully or Renata works.
>>94269942Adeline is black?
>>94270632>>94270658too bad you can't run Evereth or Aphelia. Also you're missing pic related
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>94270580the big balls is actually the base of the tail but yes its a very strange forced perspective, i dont think ai makes angles as weird as that. thats the kinda shit only humans could goof
I want to snort hedrons with her
>>94270660Where'd we get that stat from, anyway?
>>94270651>above curve>all those keywords>and there is morecool, another removal on sight that cannot actually be removed
>>94270686oh yeah I didn't try to imply it's ai, just bad foreshortening like the image name saysand the balls was a joke but at first it took 2 looks to see it's the tail since it's missing the spots
>>94270698Would
>>942704278 I'm interested in building if I pull them, 2 of which I'll probably pick up on their own, and a handful who might have spots in existing decks. Six of the eight are cute girls.
>>94270637You are a man. You have to take the initiative and tell her what to do.
>>94270651This is why people just play boardwipes now. Can't do shit against designs like this with fair interaction.
>>94270733Just pay the 6 mana ya whiner.
>>94270733Bro your void rend?
>>94270733>Blasphemous Act >Austere Command >Fight spells >OH NO I CANT STOP IT WAH WAH WAH YOU ARE WEAK LIKE LITTLE BABY MAN
>>94270651>ward 4just give it fucking Hexproof at that point
>>94270678Not legendary, so she will be in the 99. :p
>>94270806Why do you people say this? It's stupid. How is the option to remove it the same as not having the option? Your deck being unable to produce high mana amounts is not the same as hexproof. I have multiple decks that could easily pay this ward before Koma even got out. My Orvar deck ends up with fucking 5 sol rings by turn 5. And my Omo deck laughs at mana.
>>94270662Wrong
>>94270651Simic is truly the best color combo in magic huh
>>94270855yes
>>94270839
>>94270733Your soul shatter bro? That aside, it's 7 mana. That's the point where creatures creatures spill value left and right and rightfully so cause that's incredibly expensive. That Koma doesn't even do anything without haste when it comes down. That mana slot already has many creatures that are way more egregious than a big snake that shits out some bodies every turn. Like Elesh Norn, Sheoldred, Avenger of Zendikar, Nyxbloom Ancient, Beledros or Toxrill.And add some soul shatter type of effects in your deck if you have problems with hexproof, ward or indestructible.
>>94270874Why would you bother photoshopping this to troll people?
>>94269595Kemoshota Bolas is cuteI do think in the modern era of Magic card art it's a necessity because it helps attract international players or people who otherwise think Magic is some basement dweller type card game for d and d nerds and wouldn't touch itDo I think Anime art should exist for every single card? No of course not, but I think every set should have anime alts as collectible versions. Increase the variation on card borders and frames too, mix it up instead of the modern black border
>>94270924Yeah, it's much easier to troll people by accusing someone of shopping to get others to double check it and find out that it wasn't actually shopped. Wasted a minute of my time I guess. Grats.
>>94270651is this more or less cancer than og Koma?
>>94271008less
>>94270453The obvious difference between anime and UB is that anime is a style and UB is an entire property being injected into Magic. Like a Picasso art version of Jace is very different from "Picasso the Painter", a UB card with no in universe equivalent you could conceivably need for your Legacy deck. One is a neat treatment the other is a cash grab.So far the anime artstyle has been saved as special treatments. Opinion might change when THIS many cards are printed anime only style en masse and as their only printing. But they're still in universe, and I find it hard to believe that many people will object to this given how popular anime style is these days.I remember when pic related was printed and people gushed over it just because it was the first time Magic ever dipped its foot into anime style. And that was 2010, anime is way more popular now.
>>94270774Alright. When do I know when to stop pushing it though? I don't want to force her to play a game that's supposed to be fun.
>>94270637If she doesn't want to play just drop it. Imagine if you are trying to get pushed into watching some multi season tv series that you have 0 desire to watch except all the time. Find another thing to do together and play magic with your friends who actually want to do it
>>94270580So this is a dude right? Hard to imagine this is a chick with no boobies at all, and all Ajani's Pridemate cards have always been men.
>>94270651This is bad
>>94270651>7 mana 8/12 >trample>ward 4 >uncounterable>creates 4 3/3s with even a single point of combat damage and easily spirals out of control with a doubling season or strionic resonatorWhy is Simic so overpowered but every other color pairing suffers from a lack of generic powerhouses, this would never fly in Rakdos or Orzhov without a huge negative to counterbalance it
>>94271152>Hard to imagine this is a chick with no boobies at all,It's a cat...
>>94271205>never saw the OG Kitty TittiesNewfag
>>94271152what is the crease if bot humongous titty?
>>94269595Aw hell yeah, that's the stuff.
>>94271192>Can't find a better big idiot than a combat damage trigger winmore beater in Rakdos and OrzhovI'm starting to believe none of you play this game
>>94269595Leave it to Japanese to bring sexy back into Magic. West can keep their black trannies on wheelchairs.
>>94267725Sorry for the delay, took a nap
>>94271077So it is just a dislike/elitism over other properties.
>>94270427Do these really not have versions with normal art?
>>94270427Claim for each colour>Braulios>Gornog>Aphelia>Neerdiv>Psemilla
...would
>>94271283Silly ole bear
>>94271262You say that like it's unwarranted. If the next Marvel movie had Jace Beleren or Ezio show up I imagine there would a be a huge contingent of Marvel fans confused and upset at their presence.
>>94270651Distasteful power creep and Salvatore-level flavor text, as expected of nu-magic.What am I even still doing here
>>94271262>>94271323Do you genuinely not understand how this type of crossover dilutes the worldbuilding of the world hosting the out of world character?
>>94271323As a fan of pre Avengers Marvel, I would absolutely hate it. I disliked any time DC would step over into Marvel and vice versa. You've got a different breed of media consumer buying into Disney era Mahvel and Universes Beyond.
>>94271245>an easter island head>a skeleton cooking>sexy jester...?>sword with eyes>potentially a furry in a hood>a cactus...?
>>94270651Nonsense like this really should have more restrictive costs. No colorless mana, entire cmc should be green/blue mana symbols. It should also forcefully return to your hand if it doesn't attack by the next turn.
>>94271351>I want to play 1998 magic
>>94270453>Alternate art style = character from different IPAnime Giada and the Megatron card are not the same.
>>94271361In terms of sticking out? Yes. There isn't a difference in Japanese and American cartoon.
>>94271356Yes I would like pre-FIRE design magic.
>>94271372I'd quit if we were going back to shit like wood elemental.
>>94271356Im building a series of premodern legal edh decks and making my friends play them
>>94271326no anon it's fine because worse candidates and boardwipes exist!
>>94271386>pre modernPre Modern isn't 1998 magic. You playing with mana burn?
>>94270538If this has double strike does it sacrifice itself on the first hit?
>>94270453Back in the day MTG had a wide variety of art styles. You're too used to the modern art direction which homogenize everything into the most generic fantasy slop imaginable.
>>94271391You are the one that said anything about 1998 idiot, I merely agree with this anon >>94270651 and will be returning to a better era of the game.
>>94271379creatures with drawbacks would be so good tho. would actually have to think how to negate or make it an upside
>>94271365NTA, but counterpointI hate UB, and I find all the jumpstart anime art jarring and really hope it's not their only art. However, the anime art style works in Kamigawa and Kamigawa alone. Or at least doesn't bother my tism there.
>>94271415The fact that Phil Foglio got paid to do art at any time baffles the fuck out of me.
>>94271361Is this real?
mmm, monke
>>94271435jfc thank you I thought I was the only one
>>94271365Do you seriously think Megatron be less out of place as a card if the art was drawn in a non-cartoon style?
>>94271435Kaja has a lot more great Magic arts, but Phil still has a few great ones. He's more comical, I feel like they're a package deal from the early days and you take the good (Kaja) with the bad (Phil). Not to say he's bad at all, but always comical.
>>94271356Not him but yes I miss the old era of mtg card art in 1998 and if it means grug grug card design instead of 4 new infinite combos a set like Nadu or Leyline of Resonance I'm all for it
>>94271361Getting mixed signals about Giada's race desu
>>94271415Then why does realism bother people?It's just hypocrisy
>>94271488for me, it's she
>>94271435>>94271470Phil is a great artist. You will not speak ill of him in my presence.
>>94271488Meanwhile Kaja is capage of goated pieces like this, Coffin Queen, Spirit Link, Cuombaj Witches and many more. These two artists HAD to be a package deal back in the day.
>>94271513a literal coomer that can't even make fappable porn
>>94271245me on the left
>>94271496>having particular tastes is hypocrisy
>>94271496The realism doesn't bother me. Like I said before, I enjoy a variety.
>>94271245Kek, nice.
>>94271574What realism are you talking about? Can you post some examples?
>>94271588Can we ask >>94271496 first? He's the one who brought up the idea of realism bothering anyone after all
>>94271595My bad, I thought you were him.>>94271496Hey, what realism are you talking about? Please post some examples.
Post your favorite Magic arts and whyAnthony S Waters is GOATed for ironically, water. Anything he does with clouds, vapor, or essence is awesome. He's the quintessential Blue/White artist for me.
>>94271618RKF is an obvious one but this is by far my favourite art of any magic card
>>94271588I was responding to the use of the term "realism" in the previous post, so I figure I would define it as: Highly detailed art with simplistic framing and composition like one would see in a photograph. The subject portrayed within is oftentimes flawed in their depiction rejecting the smoothness or simplicity of more stylized artwork. Something like pic related would be realistic whereas the aforementioned anime styles are not. I'm not a huge fan of this image, but it stands as an example.
>>94271638I've never seen that art before. It's gorgeous
>>94271650Now if I were to pick my favorite of what I would call "realistic" I would probably point to this. The shot is simple but the pose, lighting, and subject exude power. You can make out the individual scales and the light sources are all highly detailed with individual rays being visible on each. Compared to the more simplistic Japanese version: https://scryfall.com/card/prm/72281/nicol-bolas-dragon-god with the flat lighting and fake looking armor, pic related is a far more complex and interesting piece. Now having said this, there are some anime arts that are far superior to the western versions as well. It all comes down to the artist and their ability which is why I am against limiting styles to one or the other as it creates an environment where we are not getting the best possible art.
>>94271618>Post your favorite Magic arts and whyI like Lauren YS' trippy style.
>>94271618seb is still the king, simple as. too bad he's shadow banned
>>94271823Already posted.
>>94270152Yea I use the card in a bad santa deck. I should probably put pact of negation in there. Give it to someone who can't make blue mana and they lose on the spot.
>>94271801Maybe he should charge less
I'm not super happy with the bats but if I go over them any more its going to be too thicc.>>94271618I absolutely love Sanguine Evangelist, Ambitions Cost and honestly most cards Zezhou Chen does.
>>94271323Yeah and suddenly Spongebob, Rick from Rick and Morty, Twilight Sparkle, the calico cat from fortnite and Daffy Duck would beat up Thanos with the cartoon logic. Marvel fans would be flabbergasted at the sheer thought of this happening while the CEOs, producers and actors say loud and clear that they all are now canon. In the movie preview they show Sephiroth from Final Fantasy sticking his iconic long sword up in the ass of Daffy while Chandra shouts Yabba-dabba-do to summon Fred Flintstone to kick Sephiroth's ass.
>>94271345The Justice League/Avengers crossover where Hawkeye absolutely outclasses Green Arrow in every conceivable way WAS a very funny crossover though.
>>94272278And then gandalf the grey and gandalf the white and monty python and the holy grail's the black knight and benito mussolini and the blue meanie and cowboy curtis and jambi the genie, robocop, the terminator, captain kirk and darth vader, lo-pan, superman, every single power ranger, bill s. preston and theodore logan, spock the rock, doc ock and hulk hogan all come out of nowhere lightning fast and beat fred flinstone in his caveman ass.
>>94270062>goblin charbelcher

why does wizards want me to fuck this slime so bad?
>>94270651Are the designers completely autistic? Why do they always print retarded shit in simic? Oko, Uro, Nadu, and now this? Is this MaRo's pet color combo or something?
>>94272421>BGUPeak feminine energy, absolutely yinpilled
>>94271618It's a fucking shame El Ratto of all things made it so we will never get an official Terese card again. She has not done a bad card.

>>94271415>variety of art stylesbecause it wasn’t a big corporate IP. You can’t have variable art styles now because art make people think too hard, and inconsistencies between artists confuse new players. It’s gotta be nice and uniform, just the way hasbro shareholders like it.
Is he any good?
Better than the og art
>>94271489Exceedingly based sleeves. Where did you get them?
>>94272440Simic has been the pet color for someone high up on the design team since at least 2018. No other combo color has had as many banned or blatantly broken cards since that point and green keeps getting needlessly pushed cards every other set.
>>94272481it's fine
>>94272476>Just slotted murktide regent into my lier deck>she gets spoiled the next day
>>94272462I have a Terese Nielsen playmat I often use and there's a tranny at my LGS who I can see is bothered by it, but he's too much of a pussy to say anything.
>>94272546mgw running my signed nielsin tribal to pubstomp the local lgbt
>>94272518It's just the meeting of blue being one of the two real colors and green being consistently behind with simic being naturally suited for coomander because it's the +infinity tokens spam color
>>94272546My favourite deck incurs wrath on Spelltable games, and avoidance irl lol>>94272563Based
>>94271618I like old magic cards and how kids in elementary school could clearly draw better drawings than those retards, lmao>inb4 you don't get it, it's supposed to look like shitI know, that's why I like it
>>94272630Really old magic cards had a budget of like, 10 dollars for art, so most of the art is either from friends and family of the creators, or from local students
>>94272346I attack with my Aladdin and you block with your wannabe iron man instead. Way better. lol
>>94272650>iron manWhere? All I see is Crosis's Attendant?
>>94272586The color combo is strong sure but dimir dosent get nearly as many broken toys these days despite black being the second strongest color and working well with blue, and it changed around 2018.>+infinity tokens spam colorTokens arent why simic is bullshit, it's all the do anything draw cards, put lands into play (untapped of course) and shit out overstated creatures with strong upsides for almost nothing.
>>94272638Find friends or local creators who have more drawing skills then, this is embarrassing.>>94272650Forgot to mention how my infinity goentlet (not gauntlet) is on the battlefield.
>>94272662>black being the second strongest colorwhat fucking universe#1 color is red#2 color is blueBeen that way since before you were born
>>94272655>this very obvious rip off doesn't count... because it just doesn't, OKAY?!! CringeKeep seething
>>94272664>>94272675>infinity goentlet (sic)Where? All I see is Fist of Suns
>>94272655Arnie said that it's supposed to be iron man, stop embarrassing yourself.
>>94272681All I see is Aladdinand >>94272630Ali baba. Now those are my favorite in universe characters.
>>94272683>Arnie said that it's supposed to be iron manThey shouldn't have named it Crosis's Attendant and it look different then. They should have just printed Iron Man
>>94272673>he got filtered by burn and red aggroBlue has always been number 1 with red coming close third, sometimes second depending what sets are in standard rotation.
>>94272695Based references to classical literature
>>94272673>red>1I'm not sure it's even in the top 3
>>94272697Didn't have the licensing rights back then. They have them now.I hope that sun tzu and Shakespeare will make an appearance soon. Not just mentioned in the flavor text. Now those are my 2nd favorite in universe mtg characters. Sun tzu and William Shakespeare.
>>94272708I know, right? I love current references to current pop culture even more. Like SpongeBob and Spider-Man
Simic is strong because you're pairing the color with the best ramp and creatures with the color that has the best draw and spells.Honestly, the only color pair I think that falls really far behind is Boros. Most others have a dozen or two strong creature/spells in their color pair.
>>94272719>Didn't have the licensing rights back thenDamn, so I guess Iron Man wasn't printed back then?>Sun tzu and William ShakespeareClassy references to classical literature. Lowbrows filtered
>>94272708I accept your concession
>>94272481he is a godlike card in power doubler jund decks
>>94272735It was, just as a cheap rip off that only brainlets like you can't recognize>classy referencesLmao, I accept your concession
>>94272476Cute fish.
>>94272673>>94272711Red is only really good in 1v1. We are talking about EDH here.1. blue2. black3. red4. green5. whiteThe main reason red gets into top 3 is because of the anti-blue cards. :p
>>94272760Your schizo meltdown has been hilarious. Keep going.
Trying to be a better red player as someone who plays mostly green, white and/or black. What are my best options in red for getting more draws? I’m not used to burning through my whole hand so fast
>>94272774>his mind is completely broken and he can only repeat somebody else's posts nowOh no no no no no no no
>>94272790Who asked? Kill yourself
I have a Kresh deck of big stupid undercosted creatures with downsides and stuff that cares about big power.However, Kresh is slow as shit. I don't even remember the last time I could untap with him.Would Ziatora or Orfeo be better?
>>94272771>What are my best options in red for getting more draws?Splash blue or black. If that's not something you're willing to do you'll have to build around impulse draw, inefficient artifact draw, and loot effects since red is balanced around cheap removal and damage but not being able to refill your hand.
>>94272808TL;DRU mad no u kys
>>94272771Red has impulse draw.Also wheels.
>>94272822The entire point of Kresh is that he's a beat stick. Maybe you have too many downside creatures and not enough haste enablers.
>>94272771If you're dumping your hand fast then wheels are your best bet. Wheel of fortune is probably out of your price range, but reforge the soul, magus of the wheel, wheel of misfortune and memory jar are all good options. You can also use wheel of fate, but the suspend is tough to work with. There's also the mana-intensive options like dragon mage, ruin grinder and runehorn hellkite.
>>94272771Looting can be powerful if you have cards that can recast the spells or use the cards you discarded. Basically if you're playing a graveyard deck.Wheels exist, but they're pretty feast or famine.Red stuff that exiles and lets you cast without paying the cost fits into most decks. Aurora Pheonix with cascade, Creative Technique, Ensnared by the Mara, Etali, Plargg and Nassari, Rain of Riches with treasures, Throes of Chaos, Wand of Wonder, Wild-Magic Sorcerer. Obviously there are also colorless options.
Do you guys build your decks by adding cards until you're at 100, or by adding a ton at first and then cutting until you're at 100? If you do the latter, how many cards do you typically have in the deck before you start cutting?
>>94272915I always cut. How much I cut depends on where I checked how many cards I had set aside. Generally I end up with 105-120 and cut from there.
>>94272915I usually fill in with cards I'm considering for various roles until I'm over 100, then cut what I consider to be the worst cards or cards that don't fit the theme I'm going for.
>>94272915I always start with a big pile of cards from my bulk and cards I think could be interesting and then cut down from there. Usually start at over thirty above one hundred and then start chipping away from there.
>>94272738As do I yours.
>>94272822He's a lot of fun, made a whole custom hyborian/SnS deck around him. I've switched to Coram because he's a lot faster but putting more haste enablers in the deck made him work a lot better.
>>94272915I go on scryfall to look for anything even remotely related to what I'm trying to do and add everything I find that isn't pure dogshit. Then I cut. Usually start cutting at somewhere between 300 and 400 cards.
Who are the most fun J U N D commanders?
Ban mana crypt in vintage
>>94272967>>94272808Ur mad as fuck, huh? Kill yourself. I already accepted your concession hours ago. Keep going with your schizo meltdown though. It's still hilarious.
>>94272745>>94272760>>94272774>>94272790>spam-bot flooded this thread with his off-topic posts too much and got all his stuff deletedOh no no no no no, ahahahahaAny cards for this feel besides wrath of God?Casting Armageddon feels as good as seeing this retard getting banned. Lmao
>>94272915I do both, but it's usually add up to 100. Only time I do more is when I'm building something I don't know anything about and I have to consider many new cards.>>94273011What do you think is fun? Prossh, Slimefoot and Squee, Soul of Windgrace, and Lord Windgrace are all pretty cozy. I guess more exciting commanders would be like Henzie or Orfeo.
>>94273086>literally references are the same as cross promotion>kys>btw im totally not asshurt you areThis is me lmaoing at you, lolcow.
Straight Bolas
Is Mogis really a viable commander? Seems weak.
>>94273134no uu mad kys lmao
>>94273134Who are you quoting? Keep going, you schizo lolcow. Oh no no no no. Ahahaha
>>94272839>Maybe you have too many downside creatures and not enough haste enablers.Probably. But I'm more attached to finding a home for the stupid bad creatures than I am to having Kresh in the command zone.Which is why I asked about alternatives.
Still better than MAVEL
>>94273175There's a lot of good choices if you just want a jund commander who supports a deck of individually powerful creatures.
>>94273011I just rebuilt Shattergang and can't wait to play 'em again.
>>94270651Kinda surprised this isn't a mythic.
So I kinda wanna build Glissa, Herald of Predation in a way where I just cast her really early, protect her, and after a few turns of her birthing eggs just overrun the board for the win. (this is a egg birthing fetish deck) What can I do to keep myself and my commander alive, grow my army, and get some value out of the incubate tokens???
>>94273150He's a boogeyman from waaaay back when. Still viable and plays well at the head of a rakdos stax deck but his best years are behind him.
>>94273294You don't necessarily need to "keep her alive" to protect her.
>>94273343>You don't necessarily need to "keep her alive" to protect her.True, also damn how many versions of this effect did they print
>>94272502They're on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/s?k=Vorinclex
>>94269619How would Optimus Prime beat Gay Bolas? The dude dies literally every single story.He died in fucking Beast Wars where he wasn't even awake for the whole thing.
>>94273353Enough
>>94273353A lot, and you also have all of the one mana green hexproof spells on top of that.

>>94273456I'll now suck your dick.

>>94271283my minds eye perceives a Hurska-Tuah alter.
>>94271245i wanna fuck the middle one
>>94273500Egg commander:BG (game:paper) legal:commanderThere are 3 false positives and one egg that requires Mutate, so 8 possible eggs to push out her cloaca.
>>94270651>nooo a 7 mana spell can no longer be instantly nullified for 2 manaspellslingers finally waking up to the fact that everybody fucking despises them and nobody actually thinks swords to plowshares is a fair card.Play the boardwipe or fuck off
>Build Picrel with an Equipment theme>Over time it's gotten to be razor tight>Every single tutor knows to look either for rocks to get more mana, swords to equip to either Shorikai or some random thing on the field, spells to resolve problems when and wherever they show>Native token generation automatically means I have bodies for numerous other purposes, something as simple as having one more target for a Sword of Feast and Famine so I can keep casting spells>Effectively every single direction covered, commander can easily kill with double strike and any pump sword, card draw secured, high mana secured, only worry is literally things like someone cheating a Bane of Progress or some other artifact board wipe I can't counterspellAnd now I have one actually tuned deck that can play games at non-CEDH levels but still be interactive. This was fun, I need another commander to do this with.
>>94273544no you don't get it bro spamming removal every turn is le heckin based and not annoying and stagnant gameplay at all!
>>94269687Usea has some pretty good looking proxies. I might get a baylen
>>94270651this is worse than old koma what the hell?
>>94273542>8 possible eggs to push out her cloaca.hot
>>94270833people who complain about ward are unironically mentally retarded you can't expect them to use linear thinking
>>94272440>It will sell packs >If people get mad, we ignore them until the packs stop selling, then we ban it as a show of goodwill and the community forgives us Every single time.
>>94273595>>94272440you're a terrible player, this card is fucking trash
>>94273615Yep, same with Uro, Oko, and Nadu. All of them die to removal, explicitly WORTHLESS cards.
>>94272481Absolutely explosive, and haste gets you around a lot of the usual woes facing a higher cmc commander with a combat trigger. Some of my favorite cards with him are Lord of Extinction and Spelunking, as well as any really cheap interaction I can easily draw into with his effect and use to defend myself until my next turn, like Fog or Abrupt Decay. Just make sure to run a ton of lands, if you run less than 38 you’ll end up disappointed by even your bigger sacs
>>94273632They showed a HUGE amount of restraint in not making it cost {1}{U}{G}
>>94273632literally not even close to as good as normal Koma is
>>94273662I went looking to do a direct comparison and saw the standard art from Foundations. It makes him look like a 1/1 corn snake hiding inside a bush.
>>94273632>7 manayou're retarded
>>94273696>>94273696>>94273696
>>94273632>names 2 cards that are absolutely terrible in commanderkinda proving the point innit?
>>94271618This card is the definition of how to do showcases correctly. Art deco theme on an art deco set made me build him. Had to dismantle him unfortunately.
>>94272421Conventionally attractive sewage.
