Time to level up!
>>94283230>TQ
you know the weirdest thing about consign is how wotc is completely fine with letting the ring run over every other color
>>94283252It's not an artifact or eldrazi, just colorless?Farfinder{3}Creature — FoxVigilanceWhen Farfinder enters, you may search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.“Take us home,” she whispered, and the fox’s eyes began to glow.1/1
I'm quitting MTG because I refuse to lose to a deck consisting of Cait Sith and Venom that's powercrept beyond all reason to keep Hasbro afloat.Fuck Hosewater.Fuck Forsythe.Fuck MTG.Fuck Hasbro.And as always, fuck jannies most of all.

>Beginner Box>Bundle>Starter Collection>Play Booster Display>Jumpstart Booster Display (not standard legal teehee)>Collection Booster Display>Prerelease BundleDo they really expect new players to navigate through this lineup?
>>94283601The problem is not the number of products. The problem is that they have exclusive cards that can't appear in boosters and the majority of them come in singles.
>>94283230Eldrazi are back?
Hmmm...
>>94283783Well, that WAS the case..
starting to think wotc did the 6 standard sets/year thing to squeeze more money out of arenacucks
What deck represents this sound?https://youtu.be/oCX-a1r1Gzk?si=xX5F1UnJC76fxEah
>>94283797Is this official by WotC? If it is, I'm surprised they drew a woman with visible tits and cleavage along with the only thing covering them being wraps.
So what, Foundations is a "soft reset" of standard, with a bunch of classic and high power cards that were meta defining when they were originally printed?Seems pretty gay.
Redpill me on Hydra cards
>and then just like that>anonymous decided that if it was worth endlessly bitching about it wasnt worth buying
>>94283897hardened scales is a shit deck because if it isn't in your opening hand you brick and if you draw it later you brick.
>>94283885No. It's a 3D sculpt by a jap artist.
Was the Cowboy set any fun? I barely have any cards in Arena from that set and idk what deck would be fun from it. I do like the cactus people though.
>>94283891It's just a core set that last a bit longer
>>94283955My friend's wife was obsessed with it. All of her kitchen table decks have become set constructed + wanted cardsIve grown fond of the set myself
>>94283955Aside from the extra sheet mythics this is one of the few cards that still see play
lemures
>>94283891Its a set where they can print things like Negate and Llanowar Elves in so that they have more room to print Commander cards in the other sets.
>>94284046don't worry we've got that toobut llanowar elves and this guy are unironically two of my favorite things in the seta few of the other green things, the eldrazi, and a handful of other cards as well
>>94283326I find your dismorphia abhorrent
>>94283326>every other color
>>94283601No they expect you to only buy the products that appeal to you (none).
>>94284067I'm sorry to break it to you bro but that shroomy guy is not part of Foundations
>>94284067I fucking love that card. One of my favourite cards they've printed in a long time. Can't wait to get one for my commander deck
>>94283891Even better! It doesn't actually even accomplish that because Standard will now get 6 sets a year and be impossible for anyone to keep up with!
>>94284025>Uriah the Smug, last wordsThanks, WotC. The joke wouldn't have landed if he wasn't labeled "the Smug".
Trannies are already trying to find something to get mad about. And Tiny Midget Rat Fuck Nosewater is receptive to their whining.I'm not even mad anymore, I'm just calmly resigned to the fact that we will need to put these people in camps at some point.
>>94284143These fucking people....
>>94284143inb4 each creature has a pronoun box
>>94284025>>94284135>"OH GODS"
>>94284143>its just alesha who smiles at cock but betterWhoa really cool card
>>94284182Alesha who has a gray muff
>>94284143make mental asylums great again, PLEASE
>>94284153Ah god you know what they're definitely going to add that to legendaries fuck
>>94284025>squirrel flavor text is the better onethat's nuts
>stop looking at Magic content for a few weeks because I wasn't really feeling it>check back because Fondations spoilers are coming in>UB standard legal>3/6 sets in 2025 UB>Spongebob>Return to Lorwyn replaced by UBThey're enshittifying this game at impressive speeds
>>94284210spinge binge is just non-legal secret lairsspiderman is unfortunately real and legal in all formats
>>94284200>Tranisha >legendary creature: human doctor bard pronoun:they/themI can see it.
>>94284210Well if we released Lorwyn now there was still a 1% chance it would be coolThat is an unacceptable figure
>>94284158this kills the abrahamist
>>94284229>spinge binge is just non-legal secret lairsI wouldn't be surprised if they make non-reprint Secret Lairs legal in Standard
New Kiora. Mark said alchemy cards popularity would also help determine a characters popularity so I guess the alchemy card boosted Kiora's popularity.
>>94284337I want to the fish
>>94283230I fucking hate how that card is formatted. Why the fuck does it only show two keywords per line? Just list them all one after another and the font can be twice as large.
>>94284235Another fallout set?
>>94283249Zoomers will never understand how OP this nigga used to be
>>94284337>Normal art looks like thisMagali REALLY wants you to fuck that fish, huh.
This dude's here again.
Needlefeather Greatwurm 4GGCreature - WormMythicTrampleDuring your turn, whenever a creature you control deals combat damage, put that many +1/+1 counters on it. (It must remain on the battlefield to get counters)You may cast this card from your graveyard by removing a total of six counters from creatures you control in addition to paying its other costs.7/7
>>94284402no one plays him since cityscape got printed
>>94284385You just know..
Surveil is in.
how viable is delirium in modern? specifically golgari and not jund
>>94284337>>94284387This is her alchemy card art,also draw by Magali Villeneuve.
>>94284337>>94284436desire to fuck a fish: increased
>>94284424I mean, who wouldn't want to fuck such powerful and majestic creatures?
>>94283396yes, just colorlessthey've been toying with non-artifact, non-eldrazi colorless cards, that can slot into any deck, like Lessons from that magic school set, and also colored artifacts. So ass-backwards it kinda starts working again
>>94283955Mechanically it was meh. Saddle is crew but on non-artifacts, Plot is "free spells for your prowess/storm count lmao", and i forget what else it had because it was forgettable. Oh, and Varmint, a new creature type used on exactly two creatures. Such innovation, pushing design boundaries, truly.
>>94284432>how viable is delirium in modern? very playable, there's a bunch of FOMO/DRC/DPhoenix lists running around >specifically golgari and not jundunplayable, the absolute best delirium cards right now are all red, you can even play rakdos delirium, but removing red from the equation is shooting yourself in the foot
>>94284485I see, I was trying to avoid going rakdos/jund because of the lands, also I had a set of pic related and was trying to see if I could use it somewhere
>>94284514I was referring to the alt art by Magali and using the normal art as a point of comparison.
>>94284549Me tarded
>>94284549>>94284337I WANT TO FUCK THE FISH
>>94284337>>94284387I'm livid that Magali's version isn't the default.
>>94284385>>94284424>>94284461If I was the dragon I would fuck the redhead.
>>94283885even if it was official it wouldn't be surprising, wotc have been pretty clear on their stance that sexy=evil and that attractive women who aren't black-aligned just "don't make sense"
>>94284510>I had a set of pic related and was trying to see if I could use it somewhereyou can use it herehttps://mtgtop8.com/event?e=60815&d=657144&f=MOthe deck is even playable without bowmasters (it's considerably worse, but still playable)
>>94284590for some reason that rule is ignored if you make their skin blue or red
>>94284387what is wrong with her face
>>94284406That's pretty good
Would Duskmourn be a liked set if instead of a haunted house, it was actually a town similar to Silent Hill?
>>94284665Constipation
>>94284406That recursion ability is nice
>>94284682yeah you have a good point. if duskmourn was totally different it would have been good.
>>94284682I think if it was a haunted house on Innistrad and not somehow an entire plane located entirely within a magic, evil, demon possessed house, I would have liked it more. Like it’s a fine horror set idea but the premise has got a lot of holes and a lot of the 80s horror movie cribbing feels wildly out of place. Feels more like an excuse to justify future UB/Secret Lair tie in trash
>>94284615omg lol, looks fun
>>94284436whats the lore behind those delicious wide hips?
>ban amalia>pioneer is LITERALLY just phoenix vs. control vs. ramp forever
>>94285051the lore is that i get to plap kiora
>>94285051Magali is still allowed to portray attractive characters.
>>94285067now, why would you make a post omitting the MOST played archtype in the entire format?>option 1you're a dirty prowess player who should kys (keep yourself safe)>option 2you're a bored nogames retarded shitposter>option 3you're a modern propagandist trying to smear the little time we have left before UB affects pioneertake your pick
>>94284402Now post the alt art version with the lady golem with big boobs
>>94285154This one?
>tq
>>94285072May i watch?
>>94285174No but that one is acceptable
>>94285154This?
>>94285189This art then?
Is everyone PUMPED for the Foundations commander decks to come out?
>>94285210Yeah that's the one i was thinking of>>94285205>commanderoh god damn it, why is it everywhere
>>94285205>>94285210>this is big boobs in 2024Western fantasy is so cucked it's unrealPeople salivating over robot C-cups and hips like it's an Islamic country
>>94285241There aren't any.
>>94285241Anon...
>>94285249Why? How else will we play these cards?
>>94285255>>94285153What keeps you people playing this game? Seriously? Is it just sunk cost?
>every single game I've played on arena today has been against the gay haughty djinn/oculus deckI hate big events and I hate netdecking niggers they make the game so fucking boring
>>94285266>What keeps you people playing this game?I live in the hope that either the game will return to what it was or that a new fan made format that bans UB and supplement products will catch on and become popular.
what was the 2 card "you win" pair. or is it just the exquisite blood + vito which just doesn't say "you win"
>>94285292It was in the Starter Collection, Harmless Offering + Demonic Pact.
>>94285266I like playing the game? Although I'm not going to draft any of the UB sets that come out next year.
>>94285255>innistrad remastered costs more because people will pull for Edgar Markov
>>94285292black demom pact "you lose" enchantment + red gift permanent to opponent
>>94285271It's because that's one of the decks they're selling in the store.
>>94285266>What keeps you people playing this game?the game is fun to playI was on soulflayer in a league last night, I could feel the salt of my opponents through the screen when I landed a 4/4 with flying, double strike, vigilance, trample, indestructible and hexproof on turn 3
OG Krenko's in.
>>94285260shuffle 60 cards together and play. Or draft a deck out of 3 packs of cards per player, passed around the table so each can get a somewhat synergistic deck. You know, Magic the Gathering, the way Richard Garfield intended.
>>94285402Kicking down the door like he's Cronos in Venom's Nightmare music video lmaohttps://youtu.be/xwaXl4ncRL8?feature=shared
>>94285402schnoz still too short
A manland that works in some decks, probably.
>>94284067cute, saproling commander deck?
>>94285432>mutavault 2sweet
>>94285432Damn, they gave haven a face.
>>94285432Faceless Haven is a great card and this is pretty much on par with it.
>>94285266My LGS allows full proxies for the formats I play with regular FNM rewards, so I get to have fun and not give Wizards a dime.
>>94285447Note it's not until end of turn, it just becomes a creature forever.
>>94285451>>94285449Sanctuary isn't until end of turn, which is probably worse overall, I'm not sure though.
>>94285454aw man, I wanted to keep triggering annex while dodging wraths
>>94285446Probably? Commanders which just make more of x or provide an anthem effect actually aren't that strong. There are already tons of ways to fill your board and he's a bit over costed for that affect in commander.
>>94283601If you find that confusing you are a complete retard
>>94285408>60 cardsLmao, that's boomer magic
>>94285498Okay, and? Nothing wrong with a good game of 60card wizard squares, i say. And i'm not even 30 yet.
>>94285432Cool.
>>94285461Oh, it's worse, but Haven was really damn pushed as a man-land due to the snow requirement. This new one will still kill plenty of people once the removal runs out.
What cards / color combinations do you expect to see from the Final Fantasy cards?
>>94285530None, hopefully they realize this shit is bad for long term health of the game and quit trying to milk an ill cow
>>94285521It's all about the commander grandpa, popping off turn 3 with Sol Ring for an infinite turn combo
>>94285461It does have the advantage that you don't have to keep pumping mana into it. I don't think it's that great though, since there are lands that sac themselves to give you a token and those don't see much play.
>>94285530I don't expect anything from any UB set is shit and horrible for MtG.But i have to say the truth: I prefer fucking FF 100 times over fucking Spider man set... That shit will be truly trash.
>>94284337I wonder if Esper Greasefang wants this. Seems like a good plan B in a deck that's already doing graveyard stuff, and she can dump Parhellion herself if you get it stuck in your hand.
>>94285530I expect to see cards featuring characters from every mainline FF, as they've said it'll be. I have very little expectations otherwise. My hope is they use DFCs for transforming villains (and also Cecil), but who knows.
Neat, I guess.
>>94285685limited garage
>>942855541) last time i tried an infinite combo in commander i got kicked from the playgroup.2) nothing stops you from playing infinite combos in 60card duels, Splinter Twin used to be the deck back in the dayGo to your room and study history, young man, or else I won't give you allowance to buy the new Skibidi Toilet Secret Lair
>>94285530I just want loads of that cat and bunny girl race done by JP artists
>>94285530my expectation is for every ub set to fail, hasbro crash and burns and someone with actual interest buy mtg franchise and fire every faggot retard in wotc.
>>94285663I think you could run a copy or two but I don't think you can consider it a Plan B, Plan Bs are supposed to be alternative ways of winning when your Plan A is inaccessible, for example: Modern Living End has the Plan B of casting its cycling/evoke creatures, it's slow since all of them cost 3 or more mana but it completely bypasses Cascade/Graveyard hate.Kiora can loot to find you answers to hate but the ability that would turn her into an actual threat gets negated by the same things that stop Greasefang from working, so she's like a softer Plan A if anything.
>>94285698THIS
>>94285703>My expectation is that the thing that's proven to be wildly successful will suddenly not be
>>94285698If WotC have balls they'll make cards of the loli dwarf girls too
>>94285698please understand every single anime related thing will be done by a western artist who has never even tried the style before
>>94285726Let Ferrari cook.
>>94285698We may see Fran from XII. Very real chance the only bunny we see is Erenville, though. As for cats... There's genuinely barely any of note in XIV, and nobody gives a shit about XI so we'll see Shantotto and Prishe from that and that's it. And none of the other mainline games have cats or bunnies, so.
>>94285703I strongly dislike UB and I can assure you that your expectation is unrealistic.
>>94285726
>>94285745it's possible we get a load of straight up ff14 stuff, Y'shtola is almost sure to be in it
>>94285530I just want Vivi-themed black mage commander deck.
>>94285757I can see them doing a decent amount of stuff for 14 in the main set but giving it a whole precon or something. We already know Emet's in, but I can probably wager we'll see Zenos as well, not sure for any other villains though. We'll probably see something between 40-50 legends in the main set, just because... UB is like that.
cat girl in 2Bs outfit as full art serialized
>>94285183nuh uh all for me
>>94285051Magali missread the name of the card, instead of Kiora, the Tide's Fury she read Kiora, the Thigh Fury
>>94285706Yeah thats a good point. I guess by plan B what I meant was "if you don't draw greasefang"
>>94285800>technically final fantasyship it
My wife in Pioneer...
>>942856851-of in my mono White light-paws thank you
>>94284143Legendary creatures were a mistake.
this game will get better one day... right

>>94286295Right after the AHHH! Real Monsters SL
>>94286276Nü-wizards wouldn't do anything that cool. However d*sney do own Family Guy so maybe.......
i wanna have sex with the bunny girls from final fantasy
Will we get UB: To Catch a Predator? Chris Hansen, Nonce Catcher?
>>94285266I just want a hobby that is>nerdy>encourages me to go out and hang around other nerds
>>94283544The upcumming damage rule change may just make me never come back. Cube is even ruined! CUBE! Who is going to play pre 2024 rules let alone remember them?
>xivtroons invading /mtg/ threads
>>94286637Check around you for a boardgame club. You'll have way more fun than playing this garbage fire of a game
>>94286642>quitting over the most petty thing to come out of last weekend>it wasn’t spongebob in magic that broke this anon, it was a marginal change to limited combat

>>94286887
is a good time to leave for pokemon tcg? at least i will never find a digimon card or similar there...
>>94286884his cube must have been combat tricks centric
>>94287017I'm still to find a substitute game that has instants and doesn't revolve around a shitty commander card
>>94283249>>94284365It's always funny how many older cards Saga block tried to "fix" and ended up breaking.
>>94286937>never won any tournaments and never banned due to power Copium Maximus
>>94285726Western artists are better at anime than Japanese, don't @ me.
>>94285266I mostly like the game and don't give jotc money for it.
>>94287076Prove it
>>94285724Best you can get is well dressed Shantotto as FF11 rep.
Ok I've seen somet stuff on magic and played a bit of arena and visited some game stores in my area and I think I'll finally get in the game. I'll get in from the Foundation event but I'm not sure what to get. Should I buy the Bundle? Get in a prerelease party? Go for the starter collection? Or just go all in on the Beginner box? Which of these is the best choice
>>94287338If you local game shop has free basic lands station, playing sealed or draft on prerelease event would be good pick, because everyone will play with cards given from prerelease bundle.
will he appear in the Foundations Bundle? he appears on the Bundle box but I’ve never bought this product before and have no idea how it works. does a card appearing on the bundle imply that it’s going to be the promo card inside it?
>>94285724

fun card for green devotion
>>94283955Terrible flavor, decently designed draft set hamstrung by play boosters and bonus sheets shitting up the format with too many bombs
How long until both generals are so low on posters they will need to merge to stay alive?
>>94287742I never really thought the art was that amazing so this is nice I guess? I dunno it's fine but feels less "wow" than I would expect for modern flashy stuff.
>Mark led AetherdriftDodging this set so fucking hard right now.
>>94287830>Adam ProzacRather fitting name, I'm gonna need to refill my prescription after this one.
>>94287830You would doubt the nose behind Battle for Zendikar and Murders at Karlov Manor?
>>94287740like credits to a movieas in, it's overcould this finally be it?
>>94287923You make a convincing argument. I'm definitely avoiding Aetherdrift now

>>94287830>Skolnik>literal slav janny
>>94287965is gavin the guy that said blue needed vigilance
>>94287830>Shit set lead by Nosewater>Fucking sub products non even Magic related aka UBs>Shitty absurd space fantasyWhat a year... And you said 2024 was bad...
>>94287993was fallout really this yearand bloomburrow was/is one of the most popular sets ever
>>94287998Praying Tarkir: Dragonstorm is the dedicated "not shit" set.
>>94288003>Look we took DTK and removed all the dragons just like you wanted rightUnless they pull another time travel snafu or make up some serious bullshit I don't think it's possible to have anything good on tarkir
>>94287993Asscreed, lotr, fallout and other products are to blame.
>>94285818Just a cheeky peek bro
>>94287998Because Bloomburrow felt like old school magic.
>>94288012>The dragons now run the khans and are wedge colors now>Full reprint of fetches with new flavor text contrasting the originals from KTK>Tangolands and bicycle land cycles finished>Tangolands reference Ugin>Bicycle lands reference Bolas>Gay Bolas and Ugin are now in love tending to Tarkir together>Narset fucking dies
>>94287993I can't belive i'm gonna miss Karlov Manor and Thunder Junction in 2025... What in Tarnation!!!
>>94288042>>The dragons now run the khans and are wedge colors nowAtarka+Temur vs Dromoka+Abzan vs etc etc is the most fucking obvious thing ever you could have that fix what they fucked up and yet I still expect them to not do this given how dtk ended with all of the "And then we kill the elder dragons!" plot hooks
>>94284297It only took one hatchet taking down a tree to kill off paganism
>When you realize the next set they'll likely make for UB is Dragon Age
>>94288061They do popular IPs, anon.
>>94287830I know nothing about Rosewater but apparently everyone hates him. What he do besides being a pozzed faggot?
>>94284665re-read illustrator namecaptcha N0GRY
Can we just get a set that's just mindless fun and balanced too? Nothing broken or useless, just fun.
>>94288061>Dragon AgeIf only... The next shit will be My little Ponny, Simpsons or X-men.
>>94287045I miss Amy Weber's art so much bros.
>>94288081there are certainly many other influential people at the company but maro has been their the longest and is arguably one of the most influentialhe's also by far the most vocal since he has multiple regular podcasts, articles, answers to questions etc
>>94288095>If onlydragon age is one of the worst possible things they could make, it's been pure slop since the second game
>>94288081Lie.Like every single thing he spouts is 99% a lie.
>>94288105And yet is better in the context of Magic than fucking Spider man, anon.
>>94288127It's really not
>>94288135It is.
>>94288003Look in your heart, anon, you already know it's going to be terrible
>>94288135>one virtue signal NPCwhy is it such a big deal?
>>94288127The fact that they did Fallout instead of TES kinda just tells you everything you need to know: UB is explicitly about things that DON'T fit with Magic.
>>94288143>Cute girl>Ok girl>A literal pig>Nigger>Two straight white guysNot seeing the correlation here>>94288148>Onepoor, sweet, naive anon
>>94288148Oh it's not. It's actually ridiculous how much there is that I'd get a 3 day ban if I dare post one of the WEBMs from the game for off topic posting.
>>94288147The left pic looks like an ad for a shitty browser game.
>>94288081Oldest/most experienced on the design team, with consistently the worst designs ever. Companions, Stickers, black-border unsets, and more failures were all his ideas.
>>94288171He has some of the worst designs ever but they're certainly not CONSISTENTLY the worst
>>94288042>Bicycle lands>BolasHeh... funny because Ugin's riding him like one...
>>94288147No... please let me hope for one set that isn't shit... I loved Tarkir... I love dragons and I love wedges...
>>94288191If there was anything good to mkm they at least un-flanderized ravnica a bit.
>>94288171>From time to time, we do something called a Hackathon where we spend a whole week going deep on new design ideas, usually products, but sometimes mechanics. In multiple Hackathons, stickers came up as a resource, and there were a lot of cool things done with them. Un- sets like to test new boundaries, and stickers showed a lot of promise.He didn't design stickers. It was literally an idea they came up as a group during some drinking sessions.
>>94288081He's the most prominent face of the company. It's also an odd situation because he's got seniority, but he's also passed up promotions in order to stay where he is and keep designing cards. So a lot of players consider him the guy in charge, but in reality he's mostly just the mouthpiece for all of their ideas, good or bad.

I make new Racc.
>>94288228Karlov story was literally about Trostani brainwashing everyone.
>>94288228I don't think they're meant to be "bad" versions, they all have good and bad aspects. It's good they're bringing Selesnya back to that, though.
>>94288256Yes? That was the entire point of my post. They forgot it for a while but then mkm went back to how it was supposed to be.
New bird.
also trostani wasn't brainwashing people she was just killing them (or well, inducing mania/madness in nearby people to then have them kill others)
>>94288147Dude
>>94288267Wait, no, this is a reprint. This is new, though.
>>94288228I wish we had a good Guilds set where they actually show the true nature of each guild in the cards.
>>94288147>cute monk baldfuWell at least one good thing will come from this set
>>94288276This can lead to some real bullshit...
>>94288212it's all wholesome until you realise it's talking about the artist who made the original art for this card. now replaced and the flavor enforces that view
>>94288288i assume that's the point
>>94288255self censoring now are we? can't wait for the day wotc drops the coons for racism
>>94288147>Ugin is backWasn't he supposed to keep Bolas in gay baby jail or something?
>>94288276Oh damn, that's actually pretty good. Wonder if it'll compete with dewdrop cure, but I assume they'd go in different decks.
>>94288313Are you stupid?
>>94288319Bolas is inside him now, so it's all good.
>>94288081He is basically Todd Howard of WotC or Magic.At one point you can tell he was a very enthusiastic game designer, but now he solely exists as just a corporate PR mouth. So whenever there is something terrible coming out with mtg (stickers/companions/card quality dropping/play packs/commander focus/storyshit) maro will be on his dumb blog, (his actual full time job,) telling you that you are wrong and the new thing is actually the greatest thing ever and "Our data shows that 99% of other people will love it."
>>94288319Either he's just spirit projecting onto Tarkir or some shit or Bad Things Happened (probably because of Jace or Tezzeret) and Bolas isn't trapped now. Or Ugin had to leave to deal with Tarkir's bullshit and Bolas will be freed in his absence.

>>94288319I don't think this set has any story. It's just a core set.
>>94283230Is there any hope of standard BO1 not being dominated by mono red completely once foundations drops?

>>94288368
>>94288319omenpaths mean the gay baby jail doesn't work
>>94288365>standard BO1this is the mtg general, not the arena generalfuck off
>>94288381The Meditation Realm isn't connected normally to the rest of the Multiverse, and given Ugin sort of combined his essence with it to keep Bolas imprisoned, we can assume he'd probably be capable of stopping Omenpaths, or at least redirecting their appearances.
>>94288365No, it's a low power set.>standard BO1Red will always be good there.
>>94288365It hasn't been dominated by mono red for months
>>94288391All I'm saying is is that is 100% the reason bolas gets out of jail.Or at least it should be I guess, maybe they make up something even stupider
is r40 cool
>>94288403Unless it turns out to be something like... Somebody steals the Aetherspark from Chandra after Aetherdrift before she can give it to Nissa (Jace probably, or Tezz works too), and uses it to respark Bolas, who then simply just planeswalks outta there.If, indeed, this is anything, and Bolas isn't just staying stuck. Reminder that nobody but Jace and Ugin actually know Bolas isn't dead.

>>94288429>If, indeed, this is anything, and Bolas isn't just staying stuck.there is a larger chance of wotc printing a card that says "Fuck niggers and fuck trannies" than there is of bolas not getting out

>>94288497kek
>>94288482playing at an LGS is a quick way to hate the gameplay some shit on tabletop sim or something
>>94288500I'm pretty sure Garfield would never allow UB into all formats.
>>94288527Possibly, but he would allow Ante.
>>94288527Garfield's initial vision for the game was literally UB.
>>94288527lollmao
>>94288531ante is based and proves cards were never meant to be expensive or sentimental
>>94288527He respected the product more than Rosewater that's for sure... But after Artifact i doubt about his design capability of keep the customers invested in Magic.He sooner or later would need something like UB.
>>9428849710/10
>>94288560reminder he made most of the good stuff in dominaria (and sagas) and that planeswalkers were originally meant to be sagas because he thought they would be too powerful and lorebreaking to be around for any significant amount of time, so they would poof away after a few turns
>>94288547>proves cards were never meant to be expensiveretard
>>94288589his idea was that the max a card should ever be was 20 and even then he thought that was a bit much
>>94288560They would fire him and we turn our anger onto cocks. If Mark tried to fight against UB they would do it without his permission since he only controls play design not the lore.
>>94288500He's pretty unlikable in general. I don't expect anyone being the face of current Magic to be popular, but...>is a huge shill in every reply on his blog, barely comes across like he likes the game>boasts about being responsible for terrible mechanics that sound equally retarded even as ideas>runs the worst damage control on his blog I've ever seenPick up a random schizophrenic person off the street to be the face of magic, and they'll probably do a better job than Mark "That’s why you have to play against it" Nosewater.
>>94288602This is the thing people either forget or just intentionally ignore.Nosewater is not the god of the game, he as, at absolute most, slightly more sway than your average rank and file because of his time being there.He intentionally avoided any and all actual control over the game.Unless it's a mechanic in a set then he has almost no control over it and just has to ameliorate people to it.
>>94288560Are you implying fucking MAGIC THE GATHETING needs UB to stay alive? In what MOTHERFUCKING world?
>>94288560>you have to do crossover slop to survive!!!!!!!!!!!Lmao
>>94288622>Pick up a random schizophrenic person off the street to be the face of magic, and they'll probably do a better job than Mark "That’s why you have to play against it" Nosewater.When you use hyperbole like that it makes you sound dumb, anon.
>>94288667Am I wrong? Where are the diehard Rosewater fans? Where are the people that really enjoy his blog? Pay some random twitter freak and have them shitpost about MtG and they'd get more of a positive reception than Rosewater.
>>94288684lolmaro is far from the best at his (pr) job but this is just silly
Fire years of this!
>>94288691hi Mark
>>94288698fuck you got mehere's a selfie as your reward
>>94288684Which PR person has diehard fans? What the fuck are you talking about?If you were in his position and the suits told you to sell people on UB, what would you say instead? Remember, a random schizophrenic twitter freak could do it.
Friendly Reminder...UB. IS. THE. WILL. OF. THE. PEOPLE.

>>94288730>"We know some people don't like UB, but hopefully you can look forward to our new story planes, and you might enjoy some of the creative mechanics we can put on our UB cards for gameplay".Yeah, that's hard. No way a random twitter freak could post that. Better go with the "the will of the money has final say now play against Spongebob already". Hail Rosewater!
>>94288482as in drama or? depends on that
>>94288739Congrats anon you did it! You actually managed to follow through on your discussion point instead of endlessly making up sidepoints!I'm not jazzed about sandy being chatterfang or whatever, it's dumb.
been fappin at too much sandy cheeks porn to feel comfortable playing against her on a card
>>94288715Just wait untill the last possible moment and simply take 1 damage to the face if the won't pump it.
>>94288739If you looked at his blog you'd see several responses like that. Getting mad at cherry picked lines isn't healthy for you.
>>94288739>>"We know some people don't like UB, but hopefully you can look forward to our new story planes, and you might enjoy some of the creative mechanics we can put on our UB cards for gameplay".you mean the thing he says pretty much any time the topic is brought up?do you even know what you're schizoing about?
>>94288797>this somehow allows us to push boundaries and include cards at higher powerlevelSTOPSTOOOOOOOOPPU
>>94288498Cube group meets once-a-month-ish and are bros, but I couldn't make it last month.>>94288511You're probably not wrong. The only thing I'm remotely interested in outside of power level is seeing good Amano art in the Final Fantasy, and that's more for to look at than play.>>94288525Can be if your LGS is ass. Mine was good for a long time, then slowly has become a Commander only bullshit zone. Casual only, Tryhard only, and 60 card gets maybe 8 players if they're lucky, usually less.>>94288750Combination of losing a LOT in the last month, and of the hemorrhaging of playerbase to Commander, to quitting the game/swapping games (Lorcana primarily), leaving the area, and the fact that Standard died here ages ago, leaving Modern in its wake which was fine until the Horizon sets progressively enshittified the experience. At this point, there's not many, if any, decks that were around before MH1 dropped that could win a single match in today's metagame (that weren't banned out of existence). Oh, and Legacy went from nothing for years to once a month. So I guess that's a thing?
>>94288714Market research or some shit, what could possibly go wrong.
I have the conspiracy theory that wizards are intentionally ruining their game so that Lorcana can take the top spot of tcgs and then d*sney buys out hasbro
>>94288739Here's another one from the blog btw, it's a long excerpt from an even longer post. It is absolutely better than what a rando twitter poster could do, I would say it's also better than what you've done.
>>94288899do people even play that I thought it was just disney adults buying not-charizards
>>94288531incredibly based
>>94288908>disney adultsYou mean investors trying to make a quick buck. Nobody plays it, they just buy it.
Commander-bait-y board wipe.
>>94288916>investorsgoing to a casino is not an investment
>>94288908It seems to be gaining more and more traction, especially with casuals/normies (at least in bongland).Meanwhile we're getting fucking secret lair Spoongeboob
they said the thing
>>94288924You're right, I should've said "investors"
Also a Zimone that isn't mono-Blue despite her being ostensibly the representative Blue legendary for the set alongside Kaito (see Kellan, Tinybones and Giada (and Loot but we haven't seen his card yet)).
>>94288927>Meanwhile we're getting fucking secret lair Spoongeboobi don't think playing against 101 dalmation aggro is much better
Also, Exsanguinate's back with new art.
>>94288932How do we break this?
>>94288932The flavor texts feels more fitting for Davriel, Liliana's the idiot who made a deal with demons without a lawyer.
>>94288953hey man, unlive and learn
>>94288953She did do it with a lawyer.The lawyer was just an even bigger jew than the devils
demons, not devils
>>94288953I mean, the point is she's learned from her mistake.
>>94288958Proving Davriel even more correct in his assessment of Necromancers in the process.
>>94288953isn't that the pointshe got fucked on her deal
>>94288935>more super genius niglet
>>94288966Wasn't she already thousands of years old when she made the deal?Clearly she doesn't wisen with age.
>>94288990She was a couple hundred or so, I think. And the point of Liliana is that age doesn't equal maturity.
>>94288972Yeah, but this is a quote from Liliana as Liliana, not when she's the, presumably, wiser Professor Onyx looking back on her life.Yeah she's trying(?) to get her home back under the identity of Liliana now, but we haven't seen her on a card again as Liliana.
>>94289051We literally have seen her as Liliana in DMU. The Strixhaven story ends with her giving up the disguise of Onyx and just teaching as Liliana.
>>94289061I completely forgot she shows up there, I blocked DMU out of my memory.
>>94289061this is my favorite liliana art :)
>>94288944Wow it’s literally another commander masters set.
>>94288932Commander card to make Ward 4 Indestructible eat shit.
I figured out where Wizards fucked up in making magic a mainstream brand, in comparison to something like Warhammer.They only made MTGO instead of giving the IP out anyone who wanted it and in turn missed their big Dawn of War type moment (fully fleshed out 3d game with voice acting and storylines within the setting).If we had gotten a quality spiritual successor to Shandalar in the early 2000s Magic could of solidified itself as something people gave a shit about outside of just gameplay. Instead we got Duels of the Planeswalkers in the late 2000s which were just watered down versions of the card game.
>>94288958To be fair she remarked that working for the gigajew was better than the devils because he actually just had her doing shit she was good at instead of trying to stick his dick in her.Granted, that's because he was gay but still
>>94289170MTG Battlegrounds actually still holds my fascination with the Invasion-Onslaught blocks stories. Everything from that game feels so flavor rich and immersive. The sounds for spells are a solid hook every time I hear them.
>>94288147>>94288497It's very inclusive of WotC to give artist opportunities to the blind.
>>94289178Favoring the Giga jew himself, one of the four people who ruined Tarkir isn't a good look.
>>94289318From the playerbase's perspective he's the only reason Tarkir was good in the first place.
>>94289330He gets his share of blame for sending Yasova after Sharkhan.If Yasova hadn't intervened Ugin wouldn't have been put into stasis since him and Sarkhan would've fought off Bolas and then Ugin would be free to keep handing out Morphs to people and tard wrangle his asshole kids into not being such dicks.Ugin gets his portion of blame for causing the storms, Sarkhan for saving his life, Yasova for forcing Ugin into a position where he was still alive and making Dragonstorms but unable to tard wrangle his kids, and Ugin gets blame for sending Yasova.
Where do I go to see who designed what sets and who is assigned to work on future sets?
>>94288990if oldwalkers ever learned a lesson it would be out of character>>94289170Yea I know a lot of people who like the 40k games and don't give a shit about the tabletop. Arguably you would want some people to go play the tcg but wotc has done nothing but bad deals with this shit.Remember the diablo clone that existed for like, a week before it was killed into closed beta?
>>94288429Im out of the lore loop is Jace evil now or something?
>>94289377Him and Vraska are trying to perform a multiversal reset since the Omenpath sucks.Also Jace doesn't pull out.
>>94288944...I can probably enhance this (provided a high res one shows up). Nice to see a cutie even without that, though.
>>94289377He's currently the antagonist, at least.After the wifi got turned off he was able to take vraska and walk back to vryn, where his mom helped him recover from the physical effects of the phyresis.After a bit they left and he had his 1000-year keikaku of...something to do with loot. He doesn't like that omenpaths potentially allow all threats to be multiplanar.He pretended to be ashiok and gathered everyone on thunder junction, then stole loot from the vault.We have no idea what loot is for other than he has a map of the entirety of the multiverse in his head or something along those lines.Currently loot is in possession of valgavoth, though there's a theory that at the end it was Jace pretending to be Winter so he could Assuming Direct Control of valgavoth.
>>94289377Antagonistic, but probably not actually evil. Very real chance he and Vraska will be about to do the big evil thing, but be talked down, only for Tezzeret to swoop in and be the actual big bad. Given Tezz will be in the first set of the final part of this arc, I'm actually leaning more on Tezz being a big problem by the end of it.
>>94288429Look at who's hand that is on the Aetherspark, Vraska wins the race no idea why WoTC decided to spoil it like this we just haven't been show her new card yet.
>>94289402As long as Chandra doesn't win it for her on again off again elf waifu then everything is ok.
>>94289402Doesn't look green enough to be Vraska, and could well be just a fake-out.
>>94289411Nissa remains the shittiest character in the story since she has no character, at least Chandra can keep her out like that
>>94289401Wrong image, but yeah.
>>94289411Very real chance Chandra actually wins it but the Aetherspark is stolen.Also, where the fuck did this thing come from? Did Rashmi build a SECOND magic-breaking device that causes Multiversal-scale problems after the Planar Bridge?
>>94289402We've had plenty of cases where card art contradicted the story before, I'm not going to put too much stock in it.
>>94289425What the fuck is going to happen in Dragonstorm to turn the setting into this?
>>94289429I think they said the current idea for what happened with the desparking is they were physically transported...somehow, so maybe that ended up somewhere.Since we know Tezzeret is around again he could also have a purpose for it since his torso was the planar portal for a whileDoes he still have it I don't remember? It might have gotten taken out when he got darksteel'd
>>94289439That's just a different setting. It's... Unclear if it's just a new plane, or what. It's sort of said to be "not quite within the Blind Eternities", so it's probably just a plane that's got a thinner veil to the Blind Eternities or some such.
>hold up GFTT>plots slickshot>hold up GFTT again>plots another slickshotHATE. HATE. HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HATE
>>94289442I think he still has it in his Darksteel body, not sure though. That was why he got the Darksteel body in the first place, because it was literally killing him to keep the Planar Bridge in him.
>>94289439It's a plane with spess travelAll planes (ok well most of them) have a full presumably at least solar system we just never go there because none of them go to space.Besides Theros that's just a star painting
>>94289415Look at Vraska's hands in Cathartic Operation, I think it's her.But then again it's a shitty Arena card so who knows.>>94289435Could be, I'll be the first to admit it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRPdVzKoMzMnew aids just dropped
>>94289459Forgot pic.
>>94289459Oh, yeah, true, her hands were kinda fucked-up by compleation I guess. So that'll be her hand holding it, but that could mean anything. Doesn't mean she's the one who gets it, though if the sequence of events I'm thinking comes to pass (Chandra wins, Jace steals it for Vraska's sake), would make sense.
>>94289448If you hate it so much why don't you sideboard against it?
this does canonically happenhe just gets thrown out literally 3 seconds laterbut most of the ascend cards just don't existat least we stopped having "Why did gideon seemingly punch emrakul to death?"
>>94289402why are her hands excessively wrinkly and mannish looking
>>94289523At the very least some of the non-canon cards in RIX were just "Vraska's fake memories put there by Jace", yeah RIX had a lot of "stuff that just didn't happen".
>>94289525Because she's not a human.
>>94289541yea that one was a fake memory to trick bolasbut the one with the vampire winning didn't happen
>>94289550Doesn't she have the power for like half a moment after Kumena before Huatli just sort of shoves her away?
>>94289559>>94289559>>94289559
>>94289476I'd prefer Chandra to lose to her and Jace fair and square, if they steal it then it makes Chandra and Nissa look better in comparison since they'd be playing fair and would've rightfully won while Vraska and Jace just sweep in to steal their hardwork.I'd rather have the brain dead power couple with the hot gorgon in it win over the retarded power couple with Nissa in it.
>>94289568The real most emotional thing you could do is have Chandra win it but see Vraska genuinely start to break down at losing even a chance at being a planeswalker again and Chandra gives it to her instead.
>>94289477The virgin 2cmc thoughtseizeThe chad 3-for-1 monster
>>94289411I actually kind of like nissa and Chandra’s relationship specifically as an on again, off again sort of thing. Too bad that fags sperged out about the “off again” part in WAR so now we’ll never get to see all that drama.Magic’s fag representation is refreshing in that it isn’t super feminine dudes. Lesbians are at least slightly different in that regard. They’re both hot, too, that helps
>>94283245i dont like the way hes looking at me
>>94284850It'd be infinitely cooler if it was Castlevania played straight without all the faggoty wannabe Stranger Things pop culture memberberries.Just a demon castle that feeds on fear and now that the multiverse is open has lured in horrors from across the multiverse and grew to colossal size taking over most of the plane.

>>94288906This wouldn't be a problem if they reprinted cards often with diverse flavor.But they sure as fuck are not gonna give us a white, sexually attractive Righteous Valkyrie so I will go play a game that doesn't make me wanna gag.
Alpha blending on the duskmourn static shader is yet another way mtga fucks upevery single one of these also starts up a looping sound effect that fries the ears of both playersI am not only milling my opponent out I am subjecting them to audio visual torturethis would get the game blacklisted by the epilepsy foundation
