I don't understand the demand for anime cards. Most of them are half assed, just go to /acg/ and look how many better anime cards are in other tcgs. It should have been a one off thing with neo Kamigawa. Magic isn't supposed to be a weeb game.

>The card was introduced in 1999 but has since been banned in most competitive “Magic” tournaments due to its reputation as the ultimate trump card — which simply wasn’t as much fun.

>At the time, it was probably the most powerful deck you could play,” one player from San Francisco told the outlet. “I infer from that that he’s ruthless and wants to win at all costs.”

>Pitting wizard against wizard, the game is played in a series of spells, where Yawgmoth’s Bargain renders one player defenseless to the other’s onslaught of magic defenses.

>“Essentially, you’re not playing an interactive game anymore. You’re just sort of playing Solitaire… while the other person sits there and waits for the game to end,” said lifelong Missour-based player Lucas Kunce, 42 — a Democratic politician running to unseat Republican senator Josh Hawley.

>“If JD Vance was playing that at the kitchen table against his buddies, then people probably thought he was kind of a jerk,” Kunce continued, describing its “reputation for being a ‘broken’ card.”

>“Magic” fans online are known for comparing their favorite decks, which are said to reveal key characteristics about a player’s personality, according to the Independent’s report.

>On Reddit, a subgroup for “Magic” players concluded that any deck built around Yawgmoth’s Bargain would be associated with “greed, ambition, dominance, wickedness, the dead and undead, vampires, demons, blood magic.”

>“The idea of it is a deal with the devil, right? You’re selling your soul for power… It’s power at any cost, and that seems to be what he’s into,” Kunce added.

So removal actually hasn't gotten stronger because an ABU card is still the best removal option. You're just mad people are starting to build decks properly in response to cards that win the game if they survive to untap.

>So removal actually hasn't gotten stronger
yes it has
>uhhhh yeah they keep printing kill cards at 2 mana and we have more exile board wipes than ever before but uhhhh they didn't peint swords for 0 so removal isn't stronger it's not!
you're a lying faggot, you should be tortured to death for making such a stupid disingenuous sleazy argument. You couldn't run removal tribal in the past, now you can because there's so much of it and you KNEW that and you're STILL lying, misdirecting and trying to frame ward as a bad thing

At what point did I say individual removal has gotten better? I said removal as a collective, as in the concept within the game, work on your reading comprehension. I'll rephrase it, removal is so potent now because you can stick so many effective removal spells in your decks now.

>You're just mad people are starting to build decks properly in response to cards that win the game if they survive to untap.
Projection, also false, I run more removals than anyone I know because you need to However I also don't like that I need to do that, I want to run actually interesting cards, not just "I kill thing, lose 2 life", but i have to because the game will be over before i can use those cards

Also bolt has been 100% power crept out of being playable removal

Yeah, can you imagine 5+ years ago people were saying Bolt and Swords were Unneeded!
Could you imagine people saying Temple of the False God was "fine" and Farseek was too fast and not needed. Because people were building shit decks, but reasoning "It's a slow format, so building like shit is fine, even thou good options have been around for 20+ years".

I'm confused about the whole name -> "this creature" change. It feels like a lot of cards still just arbitrarily say the name anyway?
Like shouldn't Consuming Aberration say something like
>This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in your opponents' graveyards.
And stuff like Boros Charm still says
>Boros Charm deals 4 damage to target player or planeswalker.
instead of saying something like

Still pissed they did TWO ghostbusters lairs and they sucked and had two mediocre legendaries.
>>
>>94280422
I believe that change only applies to permanents, and specifically does not apply to characteristic-defining abilities, as "this creature" isn't 'true' of that thing in all zones, because 'creature' on its own means 'creature permanent'. Legendaries still use their name too, which feels kind of awkward.

Feels awkward in general if you are going to change name mentions to "this creature" to avoid confusion and streamline text only to proceed to not apply the same logic elsewhere
>>
>>94280468
I think it reads well enough personally, and characteristic-defining abilities don't really 'matter' with the name change, there's no real possible confusion that could come from them using their own name like there could be with their abilities as a permanent.

No Armageddon? No starnheim aspirant? Giada seems worth it too, even if just in the 99. Also, some evasion like teferi's protection, ghostway etc could be useful for when you're up against exile wipes. How has true conviction performed for you? Is it even encessary when your creatures are so well-statted?

This is a casual Angel tribal deck. I'm not going to add MLD to it. I didn't even add Sol Ring. :p
>Aspirant and Giada
They would be okay, but I would probably prefer more mana rocks instead.
>Protection
I don't have the space to casually run them. I don't like going all in, so I decided not to run them and to try and make the deck more resilient.
>True Conviction
I just made this list, but True Conviction is great in other decks that I've played. Not sure what you mean by well-statted. Only 4 of them have lifelink and only 1 has double strike. If you're talking about p/t, then that just makes it even stronger.
>>
>>94281114
Have you had many games where you wouldn't have won without true conviction? I feel like with a board full of fliers that typically already have some good keywords and decent P/T, you don't need it.
>>
>>94281140
I don't remember most games, but I do remember True Conviction helping me close some out. Maybe my opponents would have answered my board if I didn't kill them that turn.
I'm sure you could argue lifelink usually doesn't matter and that Paladin Class or Duelist's Heritage are better most of the time.
End of the day I agree that True Conviction isn't the strongest card in this deck. It doesn't help the main plan of controlling the board with Avacyn and board wipes. I think it's fine as a big source of lifegain and doing more damage though.

My friend got me a couple magic cards, but how do I get into the game? I was told commander might be for me because it has a banlist like yugioh
>>
>>94281364
Ask the friend who got you the cards.
Commander is the most popular format, but it's ass for learning how to play.
>>
>>94281364
If you want to play in paper you should ask at your local stores what formats are popular in your area. It's very possible that commander is your only option, but if you want to play something that's more about being competitive and trying to win you should look at the 60 card 1v1 formats. Commander is a four person free for all that's better suited to lighthearted fucking around with friends.
>>
>>94281364
Every format has a banlist. Commander is the most popular but since decks are mandated at 100 cards, it can be somewhat punishing to start with, also with the singleton rule and all. If you want to just learn the game, I'd recommend buying a dual deck and playing against a friend. You can also buy commander precons and learn that way. Keep in mind commander is a multiplayer format.

Issue with a lot of edicts, specially those tied to creatures, is that they don't break even until 3 of four players have a creature down, so if you're dropping them every turn and not all your opponents are going wide it may not be so effective

I've seen people do this way too often. Letting their commander get exiled and then freaking out when their plan to return it doesn't work out. With any other zone those plans typically work fine, but exile is so risky.

>>94281481
You can consider buying a set of dual decks. It's a type of product that includes two decks that are meant to play against one another. It's a good way to learn the game with friends, if a little limited in scope (you won't learn too much about specifics and mechanics that aren't gonna come up with those specific decks). Some are pretty expensive now, but some of them are also pretty cheap (I see goblins vs merfolk online for 25 euros). You might have to do some research to see which duel decks are most balanced against each other, iirc some of them are pretty lopsided.
>>
>>94280491
you have a LOT of bad creatures in here like the Dauthi, Soltari, and Headless Horseman. Maybe swap those for mana rocks?

Hmm. Maybe I’ll get a duel deck. Call me weird, but I’ve always liked the aspect of building a deck from scratch, so I think I wanna see what I can do with what I have so far. Which is just an Azuna, lost but singing and a Ryu card, which surprised me. I assume Magic also does a lot of crossovers

Magic recently (since 2-ish years ago) started doing crossovers, which has been somewhat controversial. They recently announced they'll be doing it even more in the future. There's a final fantasy set coming.

Commander is definitely a good format if you like building decks. If you tell people you netdecked a commander deck they're going to think you're retarded. Adding personal spice, pet cards and your own twist to a strategy is kind of the point of the format. Commander games can get very complex though, since it's multiplayer and there's often all kinds of static effects intermingling with each other, and it's an eternal format so there's a ton of mechanics you'll see (eternal format meaning that every card since the beginning of mtg is legal, save for the banlist).

That’s something I loved about yugioh. My old cards from 2006 are still useable in the modern day if they haven’t been hit. I don’t want to net deck, but this format sounds fun. I just question the 100 cards and everything being one ofs
>>
>>94281696
everything being one ofs isn't as big a deal as you might think, as most cards aren't as pushed as ygo cards. so instead of "thing that draws the thing to start the combo" you have 7 cards that "ramp", 12 good removal pieces etc. so instead of specific rigid combos you just have cards that fulfil purposes in your deck. although if you want you can still do specific 2 card combos or whatever but it's just harder to assemble

The Ur-Dragon, Miirym, and Tiamat are the three most popular dragon commanders.
If you want to kill people with your dragon commander and less dragon tribal, you can play Prossh or Scion of the Ur-Dragon.
If you want to play more of a combo deck, look at Dragon Storm.

I feel sorry for him and I do kinda want to make more decks but he is incapable of understanding that I dont want to play competitive cards just to compete. I like themes and jank and I've tried to talk to him about the power level of his decks for years but he doesn't care. I have 1 competitve mono red that's purely designed to kill 1 player as fast possible but having to abandon all my other decks because it will just be him doing endless G/B/X none sense or infinites makes me loathe playing the deck anymore since it's the lonly one I play these days.

If he’s not upset enough to actually listen to your complaints and build at least one lower power level deck then he’s just mad he’s losing a consistent punching bag. Is there any other playgroups around? Might just need a change of opponents.
>>
>>94282313
I personally like it, might stick it in Urza as just bonus card draw that lightly punishes other people for drawing. What I like about it is that it's colorless so you can put it in any deck unlike stuff like Phyrexian Arena.

Dauthi and Soltari enable Sidar without being at risk of dying. They just throw out attacks for easy looting at any time. Admittedly, them not being able to block sucks, but that's how it goes. Headless Horseman is pure flavor since it was a gift.

read this as your opponents draw 3 and think it over again.
>>
>>94282396
Yeeah this is the first way I read it and from a rigid card advantage perspective you're right, but I do like the political implications. it doesn't read opponents draw 3 if it can help turn an opponent or 2 into friends for a few turns. idk I think it's interesting and I'm curious to test it.
>>
>>94282313
I think it depends a lot on how greedy your opponents are about drawing. A Sheoldred that gave your opponent free cards isn't nearly as good.
I'd imagine you'd want quite a few wheels just so you can turn it into a threat while dumpstering opponent's hands when necessary
>>
>>94282313
It falls under the "boring stuff" you listed, but I wad really happy to see it has two types for delirium. I don't think it was made with Winter in mind, but it feels good to get solid support in the very next set.

I've never hardcast Moonshaker, even ironically. I enjoy it far more as a revival target, and since Sidar Jabari has First Strike, it'll revive before my other creatures do/take damage under most circumstances so it changes the dynamic very suddenly

(You can keep Urza, Prince of Kroog for flavor if you want)

Like, the problem is the deck seems to be built with the idea that you're going to just keep playing stuff and accumulating value forever. In real games opponents are usually just going to kill you or blow up your stuff. If one opponent blows up the board you're basically cooked.

>Regenerate
>Banding
can you not force people to play with mechanics that don't make sense to anyone?
>>
>>94283678
Aside from the misunderstanding some newer people have of regenerate meaning reanimate it's a very simple mechanic
>>
>>94283678
Banding literally doesn't make sense because it does two different things, how do you even block as a band? do you declare them as a band before blocking or during? attacking makes enough sense but blocking is mindnumbing
>>
>>94283678
Regenerate makes sense the only (slightly) confusing part of it is it being a regenerate shield and not a post-hoc thing
Banding is a meme but even that's technically not that bad.
No one runs banding because they like it though, they run banding so they can get their reddit upvotes of "Here's my banding deck ;)!"
>>
>>94283685
it really isnt and even Mark Rosewater has acknowledged it's overly complicated because it doesn't have counters or any indicator or timing

>Regenerate
>doesn't make sense to anyone
I'll admit it can have a few 'tricky' questions but in general it's like a matter of
>Activate Regenerate
>Would thing die
>(is it allowed to regenerate by whatever killed it)
>it doesn't die
>tap it, remove the damage (if any), remove it from combat so it is no longer considered attacking or blocking as part of the effect
>if it was in combat and there's no bonus circumstance like First Strike/Double Strike or some kind of triggered ability, it still deals its normal damage before regenerating

>Banding
I mostly wanna do it so I can get more familiar with the mechanic. It's not like it's that good, but I figure 2-3 Knights who have it give me enough of a surprise mechanic to toy with. Same reason I run Shadow and Horsemanship, they're just fun to talk about.

first time i read "Trample over Planeswalker" my left nut exploded

>>
>>94283688
Banding is the easiest mechanic
If you have banding, you decide how damage is assigned.

Oh there's a bunch
>Student of Warfare
has the Level Up mechanic, ends up a 4/4 with Double Strike but starts as a 1 drop 1/1 Knight which is fine
>Tivadar of Thorn
Destroy target Goblin is a meme, but First Strike + Protection from Red is pretty cool
>Knight of Meadowgrain
First Strike + Lifelink on a 2 drop 2/2 is pretty alright
>Marauding Knight
doesn't solve my high cmc thing, but I really like it as a white hate card. 4 cost, +1/+1 for each plains among all other players' lands
>Order of the Sacred Torch
The white equivalent of my Stromgald Cabal, very useful for fucking up any deck that's mixed with Black
>Kithkin Billyrider
I like Goats and I like Double Strike
>Fiendslayer Paladin
3 drop, 2/2, First Strike, Lifelink, and can't be the target of Red/Black spells opponents control. Admittedly, easily just killed in combat or white damage
>Sanguine Guard
First Strike and Regenerate
>Diamond Knight
just sorta fun, but probably too shit to justify in a 3 color deck
>Xerex Strobe-Knight
I like this because it's a 3 drop 2/2, Flying/Vigilance blue Knight intended for hostile play and it also makes tokens if you're casting multiple times in a turn
>Stillmoon Cavalier
One of the coolest Knights I've ever seen and I remembered it after discussing it with an anon here actually.
2/1 for 3, then for W/B you can get Flying, First Strike, or for W/B W/B you can get +1/+0
>Shay Cormac
Rewards me for targeted removal and can remove all forms of protection from other boards for only a single mana. Great for politics as well.
>Compass Rose Paladins
Targeted removal that's all color hate, it's kinda fun in that way that they're either just 3/3 Knights that cost 4 unless I'm against certain colors, in which case they become extremely decent removal
>Knight of the Holy Nimbus
Auto-regenerate and Flanking

just read her, I love her

>>94283835
Almost all of those are so straightforward that they don't even change the game, anon. I'll give you Banding and Regeneration, and maybe even Level Up just for being a mechanic lots of newbies won't know.
>>94283912
It's really solid for being strange and unique, and I like that idea of basically using it to prevent a kill from a creature so it can stave off something Goaded while keeping me in their good graces or even allowing attack triggers and making deals to not need to take damage.

Why are you lying? Creating =/= synergy lol. There are 6 vampire cards that can actively use or benefit of of blood tokens being used.

Objectively a very good include you're just bad at magic lol, and dishonest, here's the link for anyone who wants to see it's a handful that can actively engage with tokens outside of making them https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=%28oracle%3ABlood+oracle%3Atoken%29+%28game%3Apaper%29

Standard is the only format that rotates, not counting powercreep making old decks unviable. Modern has gone through several of those powercreep "rotations" lately due to sets that were printed directly into it without needing to be balanced for weaker formats, but they've acknowledged that's a problem and have made some changes that should make it happen less.

My scene is pretty casual (softly enforced) so is it dumb of me to act slightly tilted when we are in a casual match and someone drops down a The One Ring or a Jeskai's Will?

Do I have the right to call out how out of power range those cards are but still continue with the game?

I just want to make sure they feel like shitheads.

it's natural, but the smart reaction would be making a list of all the OP cards they use, then build a good deck using many of them.
I had a bolas citadel faggot at out casual table for months. After the entire group had to watch him play solitaire for the Xth time, I simply build the most disgusting lifegain deck I could come up with, complete with several tutors just for the citadel, and proceeded to play only this deck when the faggot was around. it was pure joy to see his shit-eating grin drop when he realized he will never get to play a citadel again as long I keep playing this deck.

Ifnir isnt really worth it if you can only discard once a turn, in a phase.
He is only worth it if you either discard instant speed or can dump multiple cards at once, like in Raffine. He is a lightning Rod for removal either way, so having him for a once a turn trigger is too cute of an effect

Funnily enough, I have one guy in my pod who plays Jeskai's and another who plays the One Ring.
One Ring player has gotten busy with life so unfortunately has been absent a lot. They did pull it from a booster themselves, so I'm happy for them.
Jeskai's player plays Prosper, so they have actual synergy with playing out of exile. And only plays the deck maybe once or twice each time we play.

We do have a Bolas' Citadel player. But he fixed it himself by taking one too many lengthy turns, so now whenever he plays it, he's getting brought to sub-10 hp before we continue hitting each other again

Is bolas citadel really such a problem card? I have it in my Oloro deck for value, but it doesn't typically devolve into solitaire. Probably because I don't run top in it either.

My table has a run of people playing pure hate decks for some reason. First one guy built Eluge, Shoreless Sea with twenty counterspells to cast for free.

>>94285488
>Is bolas citadel really such a problem card?
yes. once bolas citadel is out, you will start shitting out permanents, especially in a lifegain deck, but it doesn't mean you automatically win, which leads to opponents being force to watch you play solitaire and resolve your millions of triggers before the next turn. and if it isn't removed after your initial solitaire run, people get into the joy of WATCH YOU DO IT FUCKING AGAIN. it's pure cancer on the level of nadu.

It tends to make turns take really long in my experience. I personally loathe it when I have to sit there waiting for someone to take a 5+ minute turn that equates to: Play a land, cast a spell and pass.
And whenever I point this out, directly or harshly, I get told "yeah your decks are just creature smash pass in Jund colours." God forbid you take the time during other people's turns to consider your avenues of play. You can plan multiple things to do at the same time. Fucking hell.

you're an idiot, anybody who played modern when the lotr set came out will own the one ring casual or not because casuals recognize and use good cards too
they are also perfectly happy to use atraxa, sheoldred and leyline binding (maybe not in commander but it's good in modern and standard)
it's ridiculous to expect a casual player to keep up with your definition of power level. A casual player will always pull out a random unpredictable deck filled with random cards, some awful, some ok and some extremely powerful. Don't be a child
