>>94815720This set sounds like it will be unfettered shit.
Deck for this feel?
>>94815720Note that this guy Yoni Skolnik was charge of Development meaning he makes sure that the cards function under MTG's rules and are balanced. (Maro was in charge of Design meaning he comes up with and signs off on the card ideas)So any broken cards are on Yoni's head.
Thoughts?

>>94815739I just want to know who designed Guardian of Faith so I can send flowers to the widow, since JOTC likely murdered him for giving White standard legal phasing at the time.
>>94815734There haven't been any Universes Beyond crossovers with Neil Gaiman's works, so nothing comes to mind.
>>94815761Sure ill take asks about thsi tuffHere is the list of people that worked on Adventures in the Forgotten realms>DesignAndrew Veen: Started in 2014 on Duel Masters, joined MTG in 2017, fired in 2019.

>>94815747>Oh no, Phyrexia is invading Dominaria!>We will turn all the phyrexian soldiers into giant angry jaguars, much better!Couldn't they turn the Phyrexians into 0/2 sheep instead?
>>94815998Anon its the defenders turning into tigers to fight the Phrexians
>>94815997And at this point their are two types of Old Guard, People Hired Pre-2019, mostly comprising people who started in the 2010s and people who have been around since the 2000s that are in leadership these days
>>94815748>thrullsthose guys have been breeding and evolving on Sarpadia for several thousand years now, shit must be as nuts as slivers
>>94816030Its the one place Phyrexia refuses to engage with, because breaching their ignorance to the outside world will cause them to fuck everyone up.
>>94816006Jaguars wouldn't stop Phyrexia or Urborg's catgirls could've solo'd the invasion.
>>94816161True but thats just what the card said some of the people of Zalfir did, not that it won them the fight.
>>94815992>>94815997>Corey Bowen: Started 2017, Representative for White on The Council of Colors (See Adam Prosak)May the Ancestor and Serra bless this man for finally giving White what it truly needed. Corey Bowen is a glorious champion of the holy righteousness of White mana.
There was no magic scene where I live until a comic shop started hosting events. That was the only place to play for over 10 years.About a year ago a huge tcg shop opened up, they have more space, better prices, a large variety of events and a staff that actually knows and cares about the game.Would you despite it being inferior in all ways continue to support the other store too for what they did for the community?
>>94816278Just b urself
>>94816256An interesting point brought up in a previous thread is that for LCI Draft Red, Green, and White were the strong colors while Blue, and Black were the weak ones.And for LCI the Council members responsible for Green, Red, and White were on the Team.Also on a fun note is that the former White Representative, now the current Black Representative is also the lead Designer for the Horse Show Cards.
>>94816278Go to the better one regularly but go tot he less popular one for any events you can win stuff at so our more likely to win.
This card is so fucking stupid with Light-Paws. I HATE COMMANDER BAIT.
>>94816285For Development that is. The black on was on the Design Team for LCI.The former Green, current Blue Member has done jack shit in general.
White LotusWArtifactSacrifice White Lotus: Add BBBBalanced?
>>94816285Horse Show Cards??Also, who is the current White designer?
>>94816320You made Lurrus stronger
>>94816332Corey Bowen is the current white designer and Chris Mooney is the previous one.The Horse Show cards are a group of Silver Bordered Cards that represented another IP that Hasboro owns.Its common practice to not name the show with the cartoon horses that was super popular in the 2010s outside of its containment board, because a bot that spams threads to death gets triggered by to much normal discussion of said Horse Show.So its good practice to say Horse Show instead.
The games not getting any les dead, guys. Pack it in.
>>94816401>Corey Bowen is the current white designerThat explains Caretaker’s Talent. He seems to be doing some half decent work.
>>94816443Ironically no, the last set he was on as Designer was Thunder Junction Commander and Assassins Creed and as Developer was LCI.Bloowburrow was a Doug Beyer (The head of the story department and main worldbuilding guy) and Ian Duke (Reid Duke's brother), with Doug on Design and Ian on Devlopment.In truth BLB was a smaller team with that was basically Ian and the story Department guiding a bunch of green talent at the company with many having only a few sets under their belt.
>>94816524Hopefully some of that green talent can push White back to having Phasing back in Standard again. It doesn't break the pie, fits perfectly with mono white's protection and exile removal, and never interferes with all the nonwhite bullshit that gets banned in Standard every year.
>>94816625Don't count Doug out, dude has only been the head designer on Core 2013, Jumpstart and Bloomburrow, but M13 gave White some goodies like the first Odric card.
does any of you play the Pokemon TCG competitively?I'm thinking about getting into it, even though it seems like heinously bad card game
>>94816722just play the gbc tie-in game, it represents the peak of ptcg
>>94816763I like that one.but the only reason I'm even considering playing this shit is because I'm in Tokyo for a couple of months and always see huge tournaments firing at the main LGS (and apparently the prize support gets nice exclusive promos)
>turn 0 leyline axe>turn 1 self mill>turn 2 helping hand reanimates unstoppable slasher, then hold up a 1 mana protection spell>turn 3 attach leyline axe, attack, opponent is at 2 lifewell that was fair
>>94816854So many new cards are just "If I untap with this, I win" and it's fucking shit.MTG exist on the careful balance of play patterns and answers. When every threat is just instant death, the game has no tension. You either remove it or you die. No gameplay left.
Strictly Better Disfigure-3/-3 Do it faggitsPowercreep in the right direction
>>94816882Its absurd how lethal the threats are. Unstoppable slasher on its own is basically a 7/3 for 3 that survives a removal spell or trade in combat. It breaks every rule, its simply unfairMy last game went like this:>I get down turn 0 leyline axe, turn 1 vermin, turn 2 slasher, turn 3 equip attack>opponent got down turn 2 manifest dread, turn 3 koma world-eater, turn 4 attackSo my opponent got his nutty draw, attacked with koma, dealt 8 damage, created 4x 3/3 tokens. Meanwhile I attacked in the first time and brought him to 1 life after the triggers, and when he blocked with 3x tokens on slasher and 1x token on rat, I get to double strike trample deathtouch for lethal damage because it would have taken him 7 total blockers to survive somehowAnd the main thing holding unstoppable slasher back is that even if it survives tapped down from a removal spell, the opponent can probably win the game with their own resolved super lethal threat

>>94816916anon you know you can just play the UW Oculus deck if you want to Unearth things in Standard, and then your deck will actually be good, right?
>>94816918Make it a sorcery with Escalate B and you have a deal
>>94816916>a 7/3 for 311/3 if you're swinging at a 20 life opponent.And yeah, it's not enough that the fucking thing is above the curve to a near infinite degree, we're at the point where instant-death threats are ALSO resilient to removal for some fucking reason.I struggle to comprehend how a designer of a game can't recognize these kinds of play patterns as bad game design. How do you get these positions while having ZERO talent, zero knowledge and zero ability in the field of games development.It's obvious that the people designing these cares are TOTAL, COMPLETE laymen when it comes to game design. Worse, they're laymen who are also retarded.
>>94816923>"Bro you can just play this OTHER instant-win threat."Pointing out another bad design doesn't mean the first design is accaptable.Stop defending WotC's bad game design.
>>94816923I'm running 4 copies of oculus, 4 copies of helping hand, 4 copies of no one left behindits esper oculus/slasher/ not UW "my djinnigger stays a 0/4.dec"
>>94816935I'm pointing out that your deck is terrible and your examples are pointless because you're only giving Magical Christmas lines like "so I have my Leyline in my opening hand turn and then I turn 1 surveil my Slasher from the top of my deck to the graveyard and then I reanimate him and then..."It's a child-like understanding of card games.
Path to Exile that gives them a Treasure token instead of a basic land
My prediction for the teams color identityG/U The Aether Rangers. The commander deck is in GUR.W/B The Champions of Amonkhet. The commander deck is in WUB & Zombies was Amonkhet's W/B draft archetype.R/W Cloudspire Racing Team. Chandra is red, their invasion was R/W, and their god is victory a red/white concept.W/U The Guidelight Voyagers.U/B The Speed Demons. Valgavoth and Winter are black and most of their cards have a blue tinge.R/G The Goblin Rocketeers. Goblins are red and their is card that gives mana based on the number of goblins which is a green ability.G/W The Alacrian Quickbeasts. Their cloth is green and white diamonds.G/B The Speedbrood. Their spoiled car is green whith a graveyard cost so it must be the G/B archetype.U/R The Keelhaulers. They're are sea themed pirates so blue and they have Kari Zev and Ragavan for red.R/B The Endriders. Their plane is short in water(blue), food(green), & peace(white). The last Gastal native was black/red and they're mercernaries to work with the red/black outlaw archetype from OTJ.
>>948169327/3 in that its the same speed clock on average>first attack 11 damage>second attack 6 damage>third attack 3 damage>20 damage in 3 attacks, same speed as a 7/3an 11/3 would kill you in 2 hits
>>94816953Nobody is discussing the quality of a deck.This is a game design discussion. Stop defending WotC's bad design with straw men. Eat shit, suck a dick, fuck off ,etc.
>>94816962I don't think you understand what "straw men" are or are old enough to be posting on the internet unsupervised.

>>94816983If you want to cry on the internet about 3-drop threats being too strong then at least have the self-respect to cry about Oculus, a card that is actually good."I attacked someone for 17 with a reanimated Leyline Axe Unstoppable Slasher" is the dumbest example of someone whining about a card's design I've ever seen, you child-brained mongoloid.
>>94817005Nobody cares about your comments with no relevance to the conversation.
>>94817008Someone as terrible as you at the game shouldn't even be making comments about card design in the first place (Leyline Axe, lmao).ask mom for permission first next time.
>>94815734Poor girl. Why are men like this?
Oculus isn’t even that good you guys it’s just fomo I played against it some and sure it snowballs but it’s 3 mana no etb no protection in my honest to god opinion worse than MurktideWhat do you think gamers why are you casting 3cmc Murktides now is it because it looks way cooler because you’re right the art is cool
>>94816932>we're at the point where instant-death threats are ALSO resilient to removal for some fucking reason.I think we need a new term for post-FIRE designIts only a matter of time until we get 2-3 mana creatures that combine all the favorite themes of wizards>avengers level threat that kills you in 2-3 hits>produces card advantage>cheats mana costs>resilient to removalIts going to be something with every single factor combinedEnduring Curiosity is getting there.
>>94816957I wonder if the Legendary vanilla is a 3 mana 7/3.
>>94817005>deck that literally runs 4 copies of oculus and 8 ways to cheat it into play>"cry about oculus not slasher!"Do you have any idea which anon you're replying to
Like I feel like I come from a different timeline and in the original timeline Oculus has Ward. I don’t understand how it replaced Murktide. Just Fatal Push the Oculus.
>>94817052presumably some retard who said >I get down turn 0 leyline axe, turn 1 vermin, turn 2 slasher, turn 3 equip attackif you're trying to make an argument for a card being too strong then you're just going to get laughed at if your premise contains words like "gnawing vermin" and "leyline axe".
>>94817042I'm not going to say I'm particularly great at design, but I do have personal skin in this game as I've actually don it. (Custom sets for drafts with friends.)Wizards is just beyond unhinged at this point. No individual currently designing for MTG has any talent, vision or integrity. It is simply a team of retarded hacks being led by greedy, disassociated egotists.Every format is shit. Art direction is abysmal, (Though some individual pieces are great), the lore is among the worst of any IP in existence. I wish it weren't so.And the post-FIRE era is the mainline Universes Beyond era, which we're entering soon.
Murktide is cheaper, optional graveyard requirement, has higher toughness, and kills faster
>>94817062It replaces itself unlike Murktide who only continues growing itself.
>>94816161guns wouldn't stop the nazis. france had guns and they lost. so you can't use guns on d-day, okay america?
>>94815734UW Control with no wincon.
>>94816294Imagine having a mental breakdown because of an honest tier-2 deck lmao.
>>94816334No one cares about Vintage, sis.
Now that being said Oculus is a powerhouse for a 3drop that snowballs out of control. If you aren’t playing protect the queen and aren’t jamming Murktide with protection up and instead your deck is throwing creatures at the wall expecting them to get removed until one finally sticks then it is a great card. Reason logic being if you jam creatures vs if you protect the queen: they try to answer Murktide, you counter all their stuff, if they rip an answer to Murktide the next turn it’s really bad for you. All Murktide did was damage and if they rip an answer they stabilize. So you want to jam lots of counters. Protect the queen. With Oculus one turn and it has snowballed and valued. You can rip an answer but it’s too late. It’s good if your plan is jamming threats because they kill it, you play a threat, they kill that threat, you keep going until you get even one turn where they stumble and that will win you the game. Oculus dread manifesting a Oculus ftwAnyways thanks for reading frens
>>94816722>>94816784PTCG is fun only as a side-game. Most games boil down to t1 wins by excessive single-turn combos that take 5 minutes to resolve. I like to come back to PTCG every few months, grab one of the meta decks I find actually fun to play and then play it for a few weeks only to take a break for a few months again. You would be much better playing Duel Masters instead.
>>94817062Why are you so hung up?I'm playing with gnawing vermin because its the only decent 1 mana self mill in a meta where you autolose the game if you don't have a 1 mana play to interrupt aggro. Even if otherworldly gaze was legal it would still be tough to survive turn 2/3I play leyline axe because it makes slasher/oculus become 2 turn clocks and even leftover self-mill cards like gnawing vermin, fallaji archaeologist and overlord of the balemurk can close out a gameUW djinn oculus is dying off for a reason, I'd run pure dimir if I didn't have to splash white just for helping hand
>>94817113You can protect the queen with Oculus and that’s a very strong strategy but I feel like most protect the queen games are decided the turn you cast Murktide finisher queen with protection up and 2 mana vs 3 mana is huge. It feels like they can’t start casting it and holding protection until turn 5, instead of turn 4 with Murktide, and turn 3 it is wasted exiling their yard and getting it removed
>>94817072Yeah Oculus is nuts and UB Frogtide is one of the best decks in Modern.See, if you want to say that a card is too pushed then choose a good card from a good deck.Instead of the guy choosing a card that's barely strong enough to see Standard play anymore in his epic 3-colour Vermin-Axe deck that totally wins bo1s on Arena sometimes I swear.
>>94817149It’s more telegraphical and punishable, but more punishing too. There’s my argument for why Oculus is worse than Murktide. 3 mana no protection no etb creature dies to Push
>>94817042It's basically hearthstone where value is so easy to generate that every game is just slamming game ending threats over and over into each others removal with the player that misses on answers first losing. It's the end result of reddit design where le 4 drop must suck your dick and do a backflip to be "playable" and where only spot removal is allowed to be good with no mana denial or other forms of interesting interaction.

B SorceryTarget player separates their hand into a face up pile and a face down pile. Choose a card. That player discards that card.
>>94817255Wait here’s a serious oneB SorceryTarget player separates their hand into two face down piles. Choose a pile. Then choose a nonland card from that pile. That player discards that card.
>>94817266*Choose a pile and turn it face up
>>94817266That's actually pretty cute
>>94817278Right it gives the other player some play rather than just pulling their pants down
>>94817266so I divide my hand into all my lands and all my nonlandsyou have 50% chance to whiff
>>94817284That’s a good point BTarget opponent separates their hand into two face down piles. Choose a pile, then look at it. Choose a nonland card from that pile. That opponent discards that card. If no card is discarded this way, draw a card.
>>94817284and a 50% chance to thoughtseize you for no life
>>94817266>>94817284>>94817304needs to be>Target player separates their hands into a face-down pile and a face-up pile. Choose a pile, then look at it. Choose a nonland card from that pile....That's more tacticalIf they reveal only nonlands, you'd have to be a dumbass and pick the land pile.
>>94817305He’s right that it would ruin the gameplay loop if people did that but a simple “if this fails, cantrip” clause would fix it.. or even better than a uninspired and weird cantrip:>Choose a nonland card from that pile. If you can’t, choose a card. That player discards that card I think that’s better mechanically
>>94817317They've done that before but its so fucking clumsy and it also can potentially lock people out of lands anyway. Bandit's Class is the worst offender for this kind of attempt, way too powerful
>>94817304>1 mana distress with the familiar proviso so it always goes at least 1 for 1 no matter what>actually better than familiar because they can't just keep lands to throw into itPrint that shit into common so I can run it in dimir in pauper
>>94817314That’s a good fix too. They can “offer” cards faceup if they go for the land trick so you never have an excuse for whiffing, it was a choiceIt’s honestly a different gameplay from >>94817317 and I’m down for both
>>94817324Personally I like the appeal of the two face down piles from a gameplay perspective. The opponent gets to do some stuff before getting his pants pulled down, has agency and if divides the hand evenly can feel lucky >>94817314This one is so sick too and either could be 2B sorcery that choose 2 cards instead
why are we drinking the wotc juice, just let it hit lands, blackmail already hits lands and is fine
>>94817343>B>Sorcery>Target opponent discards a card at random.There, that's the card.
>>94817343Cantrip clause would mean it cantrips if they are empty handed. The idea was to make getting Thoughtseized the least unpleasant experience it can be more than the tactical focus. Tactics are fun but the focus was what’s fun for the opponent and “offering” up cards is sick tactics but the two facedown piles fingers crossed is just neat
>>94817134>Duel Mastersthat's funny. I thought this game was dead, it had been so long since I heard about it.but every time I walk into the local TCG centre here there is like a 30-man Duel Masters tournament running.
>>94817354Say your opponent is on Primeval Titan and you are aiming for that card. With the faceup pile offering mechanic the opponent would feel like no matter what the Titan is getting picked. It’s either face up or they pick the face down. With two face down piles they get to experience tension and relief
>>94817368Rather, the opponent can put the titan in the smaller pile to protect it
>>94817236it will eventually be 1g destroy target nonbasic and lose 2 life. sinkhole is a card.
>>94817358It hurts me that we ended up in the timeline where WotC fucked Duel Masters so hard we can't even get an English digital client.

Why people hate Land Destruction so much? I find it a legit alternate wincon.
counter target spell that can't be countered
>>94817459There's this except it only draws you a 3/3.
>>94817744Exile target spell is better.
>There's no such thing as a slippery slo-It's fucking insane how fast power creep has ruined everything.
>>94817766FOMO was a 100% a mistake designNo possible normal playtester could see that card his effects and his cost and say "Yeah, altogether this seems fine"
>>94817771>FOMO was a 100% a mistake designThat's the trick.You can't make mistakes if you have no intent to do the right thing in the first place.
>>94817766Why can FOMO untap shit that didn't even attackWhy does it have to randomly be an OHKO combo with Fable.For what fucking purpose.
Why red cards are the most busted? Someone at the design team has a hard on for brain-dead patterns and mountains?
>>94817790>Why red cards are the most busted?Red's theme is killing people fast. When you bloat everything to ungodly power levels, turns out killing people fast with minimum resources and zero requirement for synergy wins out over every other possible path to victory.
>>94817790Because in EDH red has to go through 120 life of opponents so formats where players only have 20 life get to eat shit I guess.
>TQGotta agree with>>94817512Also, question (and I do apologize if it's a stupid one);What's with the near 500% price spike on Booster Tutor? It's not legal to play in any format, so is it just for the sake of novelty?
>>94817766Let's not pretend FOMO was the first red bear with upside.
>>94817762>Choose a spell or ability on the stack. Exile each spell with the same name as the chosen spell or each ability with the same source as the chosen ability.
>>94815720>13/13 Vehicle with Crew 2 that costs one mana to castThis will lead to some real bullshit.
>>94817991probably not, I imagine it has a similar downside to death's shadow>this creature gets -X/-X where X is your lifetotalso you can play it early while you're still above 13 life, but if you try to crew it, it dies
>>94817402>Every game beating MTG has cute girls in itGee I wonder why mtg can't get a foot hold in Japan. Maybe WOTC should add more fats, trannies and niggers front and center! It'll work this time!
>>94818050What cute girls does Duel Masters have? It has artwork kind of like Magic.
>>94818050>Gee I wonder why mtg can't get a foot hold in Japan.Nigger what are you talking about? MTG was always big in Japan, and is consistently.
>>94818050Not to mention MTG is twice as expensive compared to other game
>full art Avacyn? Make her a small silhoutte with a random demon taking 90% of the picture>shirtless gay niggers for captivating vampire? YABBA DABBA DOOI fucking hate WotC and I pray for Hasbro to go under and someone else taking the IP
I would pray very hard UB finally cement this fucking game and Hasbro burns to ashes. Trash company with trash decisions.

>>94818114Why does she look like that?

>>94818115>>94818067>retards pretending Dual Masters Play doesn't have cute girls>retards pretending mimi never existed>retards pretending cute girls are not an ingredient of 99.9% of every successful IP in Japan.
>>94818141We are talking about card games you can own not Gacha Skinner box where you rent virtual objects for 5 years only.
>>94818151Every TCG is a gacha game, You pay money for a randomized pack of play pieces with some being strictly better and some being unplayable anywhere. DMP is just magic arena for DM.>>94818126>>94818132
>>94817977Why not just>Exile each spell.

Aetherdrift episode 4. https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/aetherdrift-episode-4-little-guy-shortcuts>Open with Mohar meeting yet another old friend, Rudra, a guard captain who lost a lot of his status and wealth in the revolution and now has to sleep in the barracks with his men, which Mohar finds horrible, because this man was a hero in his eyes>They get to talking about how Mohar defend Rudra when Rudra was court-martialed, and he uses that to try and persuade Rudra to help>He elaborates the plan: They want to end the race by laying a trap at the finish line, Rudra warns that it'll be bloody but Mohar says of course it will be, no revolution that's worth it has ever not been (he says after the revolution that was largely bloodless that led to Avishkar, etc.)>Back to Vin, interviewing Grennar, a sponsor for the Grand Prix, who is an ape with some of his bones on the outside>Grennar doesn't quite understand what cameras are, so he's a bit upset that only Vin and his interpreter are there>Grennar's from Muraganda, and Vin asks him about it, and particularly about the floating islands, which Grennar cuts him off and says they're not floating, they're falling>He says that all these 'floating' parts have been falling since the moon, and when they tire of falling, they'll land>Grennar then, thinking the audience is 'in' the camera, throws the camera at one of these falling parts for some reason>Back to Chandra, who's thinking about how cool she thinks trees are after meeting Nissa and also Wrenn who she's sad about losing>One of Chandra's teammates clotheslines themselves on a branch and that vehicle nearly takes her head off as it crashes toward her>Two Guidelight Voyager racers are alongside her, vaguely armed and vaguely threatening, and her attempts to parlay are met with beeps so she just speeds through the wreckage while the Voyager racers crash and explode

Also, a side-story, the second one (and I think last one). https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/aetherdrift-like-no-other-beast>We're with Khrad, a guy on Muraganda, the prince of Mon'Telu, whatever that is, skulking through some underbrush and tracking the scent of blood, iron and some smell he has no name for, because these fucking cars are here>His raptor companion, Grazak, is alongside him>Khrad finds the utter lack of life around the area he's investigating to be deeply unsettling, because life is just EVERYWHERE in Muraganda>He jumps out into a clearing, his Star-Sword held ready, with a roar of battle>And there's nothing there but wreckage of metal, more metal than he's ever seen before>Some bug-eyed creatures emerge from one of the wrecks>Krad fights them off because he's basically Conan>He realises these bug things have seen beasts like Grazak before, so they're not too scared of him, but he feeds Grazak some sort of pearl, which makes Grazak grow fucking huge>The bugs do some weird magic to blind him, but he's too cool for that and just wins anyway>He mentions there being no sign of the beast an oracle foretold here, but Grazak manages to sniff out a trail of some sort>Grazak leads him to footprints, which are likely Khrad's quarry, and he hears a distant roar from whatever made them>Back to a few days prior, and Khrad is in Mon'Telu, the central stronghold of the Telu-Set>The root oracle proclaims that they have been invaded by some beasts beyond their understanding, from some far-off realm>The beast the oracle says is closest to them will fall regardless, but if they don't get it, their enemy, the mage Amarth-Tel, will>King Khal listens to this proclamation, and decides that something must be done about the beast and Amarth-Tel, however he laments not being able to go himself>Khrad interrupts his musing and says "fucking hell Father I am clearly capable let me go"
Seriously i would rather this set was full Kaladesh...Fuck Muraganda and Fuck Amonketh, let's go full energy and full techno race.
>>94819359>Khal is hesitant to let his only son go, but he also knows it'd be disrespectful to keep a warrior behind from such a quest>He prepares his son best he can, and reminds him that their people do not kill without passion, and gives him the Star-Sword, the only pure-steel weapon they have, forged from ore that fell from the sky>He also gifts him the pearls for Grazak>Khrad is aghast at his father using any sort of magic, but King Khal persuades him that it is an edge he must use at the very least>Khrad leaves, and the narration notes he wouldn't be back for several years>Back to the present, and it's clear the tracks he's following are vehicle tracks, not a beast>He hears a voice just ahead, and finds Amarth-Tel himself atop this 'beast', and demands he release it>Amarth-Tel proclaims that it is no beast, but forged from alien steel and imbued with living flame and dismisses Khrad>Amarth's pet ooze that's pulling the vehicle lashes out at Grazak, and Grazak leaps up and onto the vehicle, and Khrad is about to stab into it when he sees somebody held captive>It's a VERY pretty lady, from Telu'Ahn possibly, and Khrad stops thinking of things besides that for a little while>That distraction's enough for the ooze to launch him off and he laments not only that Amarth has the 'beast', but also such a beauty held captive>As he laments, somebody else appears behind him, a gorilla druid named Chatal, and Khrad asks why this one's interfering, they're known isolationists, and Chatal says needs must, basically>Chatal proclaims the 'beast' as a vehicle, and Khrad asks him to explain what he knows>Chatal simply says that the world is much, much larger than Khrad knows, and advises him to use that knowledge to temper his pride>He hands Khrad some sort of amulet, which will apparently grant mastery over the vehicle if used properly (I assume it's a key)
>>94816722Nowadays, the Pokémon card game is hot garbage, and it has been since the Black and White Block. Everything is Big Basics, undercutting the most iconic mechanic of Pokemon: Evolution. Plus it's very pay to win. You can't really win tournaments unless you use one of the 3 best decks made entirely out of money cards. Expanded format is a little different, but nobody plays it seriously, because it's even more degenerate, and the constant power creep on mons means you still have to buy new cards all the time.The two best ways to play Pokémon is e-Card block constructed, for low power games, or EX Block Constructed (Gen 3). Both can be played online for free using TCGOne, but there aren't too many players online at any one time.
Hey! C'mon, dude! Potal's this way!
>>94819267How much longer do you think WotC will keep appealing to the modern audience before they finally put a stop to it?
>>94819435modern audiences, i.e. edh players, are the ones bankrolling this productat least when it comes to the bottom line expected by hasbro
>>94819420honesty I like this depiction more, it's probably the art style>>94819174
>>94819408>Khrad takes it and leaves, unsure what to think of Chatal, who tells him that a world he doesn't understand isn't so scary>They get to Kalaka's Scar, a place where moonfalls created crater and weird eldritch shit happens>There's the Tarry Spire, where all they leylines converge, with the vehicle atop it>Khrad and Grazak easily break into the door, proclaiming Amarth's death>Amarth, being the evil sorceror he is, is atop the spire and grinning down at them, before setting his pet against them>They rush up the stairs as the ooze slowly works up from the floor>Khrad eventually decides to make a stand, so he grabs his sword and plunging attacks the ooze>This achieves very little>They tussle around a bit until eventually Khrad manages to come face-to-skull with the center of the ooze, the skulls it has in its body, and delivers a precise, vital blow to it>The ooze sort of just explodes after that>They rush up the stairs again, more magic fuckery revealing itself, but they keep going>Only near the top does Khrad stop as he sees the woman from before, held as the only living captive>He quickly cuts her free of her bonds, she introduces herself as Nathala of Telu'Ahn>He says he has to go deal with the warlock first before they can leave though>She gives him a quick hug of thanks and he rushes up alone, leaving Grazak to keep her safe>As soon as he leaves, she scowls and starts talking to Grazak, who she can understand because she's druid-trained>She reveals her mentor as Chatal>She looks at the amulet thing and notes the racers (the Endriders specifically) called it an ignition key>Amarth has no idea what it is, of course>Nathala proclaims she intends to take the vehicle and use it to benefit her people>Grazak loudly growls about why can't humans just get along already>More banter and fighting between Khrad and Amarth
Cummander crew was a mistake and pamper to them is killing this game.
>>94819461>Nathala creeps up with the key, switches the vehicle on, and Khrad hears that and goes "oh that sounds rad I wanna ride that now">The vehicle flattens Amarth as Khrad dives out of the way>Nathala deigns to bring Khrad with her in the vehicle thanks to Grazak's kind words>They ride the vehicle out of the crumbling spire, and Khrad is so enthralled with the thing he demands to be taken along with Nathala to study it, and she agrees after seeing him clearly want it so bad>They drive off together

Cease is the killing blow in my Standard combo deck every game.Literally makes the opponent Cease to exist.Massive flavour victory.
>>94819738that wouldn't help though, it would just make oko even lonelier :(
>>94819159>>94819286So they’re going to win, fucking over the “try to end the race” angle, Mohar will reconcile with Sita even though she DIDN’T win because she doesn’t need to be a winner to be worthy in his eyes, Jace will realize he was too far gone, Chandra will try to give the Aetherspark to Nissa, but Nissa will end up giving it to the Amonkheti to heal their world because that’s her whole thing. Anything I’m missing?
He won.
>>94819738i just had to DT for a force to counter lurrus and my opponent got the lurrus for free, companions are a fucking joke
>>94819757Well, we know the image of the Aetherspark shown a while back has Vraska's hand holding it, so it's possible Nissa gives it to her instead.
>>94819858Card art isn't canon half the time, I wouldn't rely on it.
>>94817735People absolutely hate any tactic in anything that removes your ability to play the game. Mass land destruction, mill, oops all counterspells. This extends to all games like stunlocking in videogames and turn 0 wins in yugioh
>>94819906okay but just as bad is any tactic that makes it so the game ends without any of my spells doing anything or any choices being madeif my opponent is dealing 20 damage with red 1-drops in the first 3 turns then okay nothing I could have done would have mattered.discard / ld / counterspells can take away your ability to play cards, but aggro/combo also take away your ability to play cards.
>>94819764Who?
>>94819947>Who?Woo.
>>94819906So people is retarded enough to tolerate turn 0 Leyline, Turn 1 Goblin, Turn 3 I win, but... Mill, Countering your shit or Destroying your land things that give you a chance to act against are... Too much?No wonder why this game is lead by EDH subhumans...
>>94819971you meant turn 2 right
>>94819858Do we KNOW know that it's Vraska's hand, or is that just the going assumption?
>>94819738>gets banned pre-errata>gets unbanned post-errata>going to get banned againMaro should've been fired for Companions
>>94819971See, at least something happened in the turn 2 win.Mill is just, "Oh, you had a nice top deck? Well, hope you have recursion/graveplay."Countering, aside from having the grave mistake of only allowing Blue to interact with the stack, is also just, "Oh, you were going to win? No, I think the game should go on longer."Land destruction also just drags the game out.Yeah, each of those things add a layer of strategy, but we're talking about a game where "midrange" is turns 3 and 4.
>>94820086you WILL feel nostalgic about companions
>>94820071Specifically it looks VERY much like her hand as seen in the art for Cathartic Operation, with the blackened skin, the claw-like nails and the bandages. It COULD be Gonti, but Gonti's hands just look like normal hands, if fucky and segmented, as the recent Gonti art shows.
>>94820105Gonti art for comparison.
>>94820105Worst couple with worse fake baby, i really want to see any of the three die.
>>94820111you just HAVE to love GontiCHAD
>>94820111
>>94820095>Mill is just, "Oh, you had a nice top deck? Well, hope you have recursion/graveplay."Who fucking cares? You top deck what you top deck. Unless you're playing against lantern control (which is pretty distinct from normal mill) or you're doing a lot of scrying, then it doesn't make a ton of difference other than the psychic pain of seeing your precious cards going in the yard.
>>94820121Nah, Jace and Vraska are cute. The Loot thing is a little weird, but whatever. I'm just mad that they didn't use the Cathartic Operation art on a real card.
>>94819931I don't agree with it I was just telling you the reasoning behind it. people don't give red rush nearly as much flak because a bullet train going mach 90 and turning you into red mist is preferable to being tied to train tracks while you have to watch this big rusty bastard slowly roll up and pulverize you
>>94820136Loot's grown on me as a character from today's story at least, because he's now actually a character instead of a MacGuffin. I'm still not sold on his design, but him looking so completely strange seems to be an intentional thing, he doesn't look normal to ANYBODY.
>>94819971I don't agree I'm just telling you the reasoning behind it
>>94820147It's just off brand stich I hate looking at it. It's not even ugly in a cute way it's just ugly
>>94820147I find it interesting that he only thought about things with reference to Vraska, with Jace never entering his thoughts. Seems our boy in blue is fucking up in more ways than one.
>>94820174Well, he could just as easily think about Jace for something else later, but it wouldn't surprise me if Jace kind of isn't great at caring openly like Vraska is. Jace is a neurotic mess at the best of times and though he clearly cares for Loot it's also obvious he's more just sort of happy if Loot's safe rather than actively looking after him when he is.
>>94820174I'm sure Jace would be both a terrible pet owner and a parent whichever applies to Loot
>>94820121What the hell is that set symbol?
>>94816954Honestly, this. White has zero threats and too many half-assed answers. Even Professor English Degree said “It’s not like White has any win conditions to draw into anyway”. So giving White a better new and standard legal PTE wouldn’t hurt. And we all know it was Nosewater who put the chastity cage on Lay Down Arms by making it a Sorcery.

>>94820174I would not like Vraska as a mother because well... She is not normal but Jace as father? Dude is a faggot i rather go with Teferone.

>>94820615fagmagic?
>>94820615He probably bought real cards. I can't imagine someone would feel the need to proxy cheap cards.
>>94820635I was referring to it in an EDH context.I understand that it's been powercrept out of competitive formats long ago. Many such cases.
>>94820640I honestly can't be bothered to proxy more expensive cards, plus building budget decks is way more fun than just throwing together generic value piles with overpriced cards.
>>94820660>I was referring to it in an EDH context.I mean, in an edh context you can play whatever you want as long as you have the right pod
>>94820481Did you play dragon flight at all?
>>94820131Hot
>>94820701Personally, no. I just watched my friends play it while I played other games and they seem to enjoy it. Was it worse than not knowing how to balance your guns after 10 years or destroying the Standard format on purpose?
>>94820660It's fine in EDH. Good even since you have multiple opponents, it provides a good amount of value. Especially if you can recur it.
>>94820222Theft is in Standard right now with cards like Jasper Flint, Outrageous Robbery, and Cruelclaw's Heist. It's not much of an archetype, but a powercrept Gonti could be the missing link, who knows.
>>94820105>vraska's feet are a different color from the rest of herThis makes me sound like a footfag degenerate, but it genuinely bothers me. Her hands are black, so shouldn't her other extremities be too? And if not, why are they a different skin color from her face and torso?
>>94821033It's meant to, presumably, be an after-effect of her being healed of compleation. Prior to compleation her hands were green too. Compleation completely covered her arms in metal so I guess a side-effect of removing that is that her arms are still kinda fucked-up-looking.
>>94820202The Star Trek Enterprise
>>94821033Probably because of footfags. Jace also has perfect, well manicured feet for some reason.
Are there any GOOD funny animals in Artherdrift, you know, the Bloomburrow ones? Or is it just Loot?
>>94821075Jace actually SHOULD be missing a toe. He lost it to frostbite in Agents of Artifice.
>>94821075At least Jace's feet matches the rest of him in skin tone. Vraska looks like she's wearing someone else's feet.
>>94821085There's shark-people.
I can't believe arcades looks this good bros...
>>94821075Jace is a need who reads books instead of going to the gym and planeswalks instead of actual walking. Of course he has bitch feet
>>94821114He's canonically still pretty fit actually.
>>94821033>>94821057Her legs were turned into a snake tail when compleated, it took a lot of phoenix feather magic to unfuck that.
>>94819174>>94819198>>94819286>>94819359So brave and innovative story telling !>>94819226They are going to ruin tarkir and lorwyn next !>>94819264>>94819267You like Hearthstone, right? >>94819488That looks cool>>94819764non ironically
>Mahitab ran as fast as she could and leapt on the wurm's head. She tried not to shudder at the feel of the wurm's slick, undulating skin beneath her as she raised up her blade and sank it to the hilt in the creature's head. Hot blood bubbled from the wound, stinking of rotting meat and metal. The wurm shuddered, then lay still.>stinking of rotting meat and metalWhy are the Phyrexians on Amonkhet not inert like the rest?
>>94819267So did they not have a reference picture on how the girls actually look?
>>94819555reservoir after a full eggs/ monolith turn. a lethal grapeshot in modern gifts storm too, in a way
>>94821238Probably because they're not animated by the oil but by the mummy curse on the plane.
>>94821259Chandra looks different every fucking image, and that's her mom in there alongside Daretti.
Is there still not enough cards from last year's sets to make a mono-blue deck?
>>94821238Also>lesbians>their relationship actually has problems>they end up splitting over politics I know there's people on this sight who are angry with the gays just being in media, but my specific problem is how flawless and perfect their relationships tend to get shown as. I fucking love this story ending with a woman realizing she didn't really know her girlfriend at all, enough to forgive how weird Ketramose's introduction is
>>94821275Will they make a new version of this shit?
>>94821275Wasn't Kaladesh supposed to be India? Saudi Arabia? What was the setting based off of?
>>94821363Techno One Thousand and One Nights.
>>94821331Chandra and Liliana broke up?
>>94817402erm, where's digimon????
>>94821369No, the one-off lesbians from the Amonkhet side-story.
>>94821369No, just two random Amonket natives
>>94821363It was based off of being an artifact set and having a theme of innovation. They didn’t want to do steampunk, so they inverted the genre: bright blue skies, thriving natural spaces, and a independent Indic milieu rather than an imperial British one.
>The unspoken lies between them like a safety cage. Outside it, there can only be pain.I know what "the unspoken" is, because Sita speaks it like a jackass in the next line, but what does the rest of this mean?
>Massive, twisted vehicles. Spectral skeletons pressing up against glass prisons they can never escape. Half-eaten ghouls screeching as they finish final preparations. Liliana's ghouls never acted like that. No. Big Sis' Lili would have a conniption if she saw the state these guys were in. Ghoulish—even for ghouls.Team Christine here just exudes danger and everyone here is content to just play pattycake with them
>>94821577In that specific context, it's just "Pia not bringing it up because she knows Sita would be more hurt" and then Sita very blatantly bringing it up because she'd rather have the harsh truth of it.
>This is no simple storm. The heavens themselves tremble in fear of it: A rolling cloud of black and gray and brown that swallows up all it touches, lightning flashing and fire burning within. Vast, wing-shaped shadows soar inside the storm. Marshals are herding the Amonkheti around them into shelters beneath the earth.This has been your quarterly Dragonstorm reminderAlso I like this pic. Reminds me of the Coral Highlands from Monster Hunter World
>>94821369Chandra and Liliana were never a couple.
Hot take: Chandra should have remained heterosexual.
>>94821864Nah, bi makes sense for her.Nissa should have remained racist, though.
>>94821655what, only the amonkhet guys get to resurrect the dead?
>>94821864>hot take>chandraI see what you did there
>The engine roared to life.>Khrad froze in place mid-chop. Was this the beast's true call? It bellowed like no creature Khrad had heard in his entire life. It shook its way into his chest and made kindling of his heart. A fire hotter than had ever burned was lit within his belly. A realization gripped him:>He wanted more than anything to ride it.Conan, no!
>>94821864>>94819274
>>94822060Duskmourn and Capenna are some of the worst shit to happen to the aesthetics of the Multiverse.
>>94822078I blame SLs in large part for letting this shit filter into the game because it was all ostensibly non-canon.
>>94822078don't forget thunder junction and karlov manor
>>94822078Nah, Capenna was kino.
>>94822224No
>>94822078Disagree with you Thunderjunction, Murder and Brother war where a lot worse than Duskmourn, if you take away the survivor shit the plane aesthetic was kino.
>>94822257>noooo not traffic lightsLiterally who cares
>>94822277>If you that away (Half the set) the plane aesthetic was kinoPersonally I agree but come on man.
>"Do you have any dietary restrictions, Loot? I've some Fioran chocolate I prepared for just this occasion."Daretti's a goblin, and he's also, what, a mad scientist? A greaser too, with Aetherdrift. What part of Daretti did the series of words, "do you have any dietary restrictions?" come from? I happen to be a leftist myself, or at least I'm to the left of the average 4channer blaming his whiskey dick on the Jews, but I have to call out this stupid fucking virtue signaling
>>94822224New Capenna was almost good. However, it was a hat set before MKM and OTJ
>>94822257
>>94821864I don't care what they want to fuck and/or suck.I want the Jace-tice league to die, painfully. Preferably while also watching everything they ever loved be destroyed.
>>94822370I think he's asking because he doesn't know what the fuck Loot is so he's genuinely like "Uh, can you eat chocolate?" For all he knows, Loot is some sort of weird dog thing that can't eat chocolate. It's definitely a clunky phrasing though.

you can win a surprising number of games just force-checking people on t1does anyone have % odds of opponent opening FOW or FON based on the number they play, like a table that references their hand size and number of forces in list?
>>94822513Just plug it into a calculator
>>94822589Success in Population is 8 as you're also playing FoN.Slightly skewed as you also need another blue card in hand but that shouldn't be too impactful, considering you'll skew your deck into blue to compensate.
>>94822589so even if they have 8 forces, you should always keep a hand that threatens to win t1 but loses to force, because the odds are still better than 50% in your favor
>>94822224Imagine having taste that shit.
>>94822370>What part of Daretti did the series of words, "do you have any dietary restrictions?" come from?The years and years of trying to make his way in a society based on Renaissance Florence. He almost certainly has a lot of weirdly high-spoken and polite phrases crammed into his lexicon, especially when it comes to questions he doesn't ask often.>uhhh is this a weird dog?>can dogs have chocolate?>do I ask?>how the fuck do you ask that, most other goblins I've seen eat literal garbage>oh wait shit I remember this from one of Muzzio's dinners
>>94820121is this a cowboy bebop reference?
>>94822379Running theme with a lot of the new planes post war of the spark
Why was this thing the supposed villain of Bloomburrow?
>>94823187it wasn't, that was just the mandatory dragon appearance since we're supposedly in the "dragonstorm arc"
>>94822473Real new thread>>94823277>>94823277>>94823277
>>94822739God this oozes so much soul compared to his new neutered look. Everything about this informs an outsider about his character.>Ugly ass goblin>But dressed like some sort of pope so he's priest or something>Crippled but has a weird looking wheelchair, looks homemade>He's outside, looks like hes giving a speech or feedback to something retarded someone said, could even being overseeing some event.What the fuck happened?
