>>96476150>gay bolasOp u fucked up
What custom basics have you proxied?
>tqwarp and station are cool mechanics that are fun to play withthe set's flavour is so utterly generic it's kind of amazing in its own way.
>>96476150>TQI'm a huge sucker for the sci-fi angle, but I wish they had more Sliver/Eldrazi stuff in them to fit the alien theme. I'm beyond butthurt they both only got a single new card.>What cards from it did you add to your decks?Anti-Casual for Eldrazi, the hivepool for Slivers, and Tannuk as a red/artifact commander. Stacking a deck up with shittons of giant golems and having Tannuk cheat them out is hilarious.
>play thallia heretic cathar on turn 3>random playing 5c space station scoops scoops next turn after i remind him that his fetch came in tappedHow did your last game go anons?
>>96476195does writing snow on basics count
I love my new self-mill Eldrazi-skeleton-summoning waifu.Syr Vondam is very cool, too.
vren + rhystic study + removalis that my whole deck
>>96476248>no abilitiesSo basically everything she summons is a big swing stick?
Edge of Eternities was 3 years ago, this is the Lorwyn spoiler waiting room
>>96476268That's the idea. And a Corpses Of The Lost for skele-haste
>>96476248you talm about stank Syr Sir that didnt make it into my prerelease deck? Just seems like the small mans Ketramose
>>96476248Running all the entomb cards seems like a no brainer, yeah? I've never touched self-mill but I can't see you being able to dump enough cards in monoblack to find big fatties fast enough to use it
>>96476296there is plenty of self mill in mono black. you also have the option to unleash the horrors of discard on your pod
>>96476268until you blink it, then you just get the entire critter
>>96476268it'd be a shame if there was a1 mana 13/13 in your graveyard
>>96476303>unleash the horrors of discard on your podSelf-discard, maybe. There are certain types of effects I'll never touch, discard is one of them, because I hate to be *that guy* that makes the game extremely unfun for everyone else
>>96476312>I hate to be *that guy*Look at this dude not running a GAAIV deck with bullshit like Rhystic, Tithe, Propaganda, and so on with a shitton of Persistent Petitioners.
>>96476150>EOEI'll let you know once it rotates out of standardI'll say this, having just gained access to brothers war snd co im pretty meh on future product
>>96476150>EoEI like it>FlavorI was skeptical of the concept but EoE delivered>MechanicsDoes a good job of feeling like "vast space" and the limited format is cool so far.>Cards to decksVery nice of them to print Consult the Star Charts to fly right the fuck into my Verazol deck. I'm eyeing a handful of others
>>96476351Dude bro is sick ur dumb
>>96476350>with a shitton of Persistent PetitionersThis is funny because I have a Socrates deck with 36 of them. I'm fine with mill, but I don't run any of that other stuff
>playtested deck two times, has 37 lands>nothing but no landers, or just 1 or 2>had to to mull to 5, twice>sitting here, shuffling my deck, test drawing>throw in the occasional pile shuffle in there>extremly consistenly just 1 land in handwhat the actual fuck is this shit
>>96476384>37 landsFound the problem.
>>96476381GAAIV (with a bunch of annoying stax) lets you relentlessly shit them out. You can also run Bruvac as your commander to have them mill 24 at a time too.
>>96476392the moment i add in 5 more i will have nothing but 7 landers
>>96476150>Gay BolasOp ur a hero
>>96476384Cut two cards for dfc lands and if that doesn't help then God hates you
>>96476248Holy based
>>96476268You scam them back to get abilities turned on.
>can't find this sexy print of Universes Within Euron Greyjoy anywhere convenientWhy must I specifically be punished?
>>96476195
this card isn't even good but I feel like commanderfags will get mad at me for playing it against them
>>96476603What the actual fuck is that art.
Name a more pushed tribe than dragons.
>>96476615Dinosaurs.
>>96476603>vehiclesYou may as well be playing Elk tribal
>>96476609She cute
>>96476603I tried to play this and it was awful, although FF added another "fixed" smuggler's copter maybe I should try again
why is there no WBG vehicles commander... I want lumbering worldwagon and greasefang in the same deck
>>96476624Very close second
Slivers. Just not pushed recently.
>>96476624only correct answer, wasn't even a ral tribe until a few years ago and look at all the stuff they have
>>96476150>tqI really like EoE, i like the spacecrafts, the flavor and mechanics. It's hard to believe is made by the same team who made Aetherdrift, also this set really would benefit having another block but whatever, jotc etc,etcI brought both commander decks, i like them.
>>96476609It's her showcase art>>96476625to be fair I'd be running it as reanimator with actual busted shit like entomb
>>96476587>Why must I specifically be punished?For being European. Sorry Anon, I don't make the rules
>>96476669>obviously AIjesus christ people just can't help themselves
>Umm I guess I'll bring back my Parhelion 2 from the graveyard and attack you for 13 since you are tapped out after playing your second landHow do >you respond without sounding mad
>>96476150>TQadded a bunch of cards from it into my xenagos deck for the landfall subtheme and wasn't disappointed.
>>96476150>TQ: How do you feel about Edge of Eternities? Flavor? Mechanics? What cards from it did you add to your decks?I think a space theme is alright. I did like the Mirrodon kind of futuristic shit, same with the Alara block, but the art overall has taken a huge slide since then, and I don't know much about it. I don't think I have any cards from it.
>>96476195>because some of her art has this funny optical illusion which looks like a crease
>>96476716Wow that's so cool your deck got to do it's thingNow mine gets to do it's thing!
I love this little nigga like you wouldn't believe. He single handedly won me the game tonight in my pod with my Gisela deck.>turn two he comes down>get the Darksteel Equipment on him>he now never dies through several boardwipes, one from me>throw down two different swords to be able to attack anyone with impunity>True Conviction comes down>World at War gets a rebound>Gisela out for one turn (figures)Took everyone out turns 9,10,11. Vigilance is just the best.
>>96476716you dont, had an early godhand with Parhelion 2 out early on turn 3 or 4, and a friend had a total crashout resulting in insta scooping - which of course meant the other players had to scoop too.with an early Parhelion, you are still 3 entire turns/combats away of killing the first out of 3 opponents, there is plenty of time to at least try to figure something out. The kicker is: there are Voltrons in our playgroup that take out a player, and the whole table even, quicker. one of which is even in the roster of the one that had the meltie
>>96476776Based and craw. I salute you, anon
>>96476716>"You look like you fuck human men"
>>96476756anon... when Greasfang is out and able to recurr Parhelion, there is no need for lands on that side of the board
>>96476826Really? Cause from here it looks like its in hand not grave
How do your rule 0 conversations go? Do you just say bracket and end it there?
>>96476842It creates 2 4/4 angels that remain in play.
>>96476842thats where discard outlets step in
>>96476716Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *flicks cards* ummmmmmmmmmmm *checks hand* yeah that resolves... no wait.... no nevermind it still resolves
>>96476858I just say my decks a 7
>>96476858"I made this deck to use when I play with people for the first time"
>>96476858I typically say it's a bracket something .5 to be more specific. I'll talk about game changer amount, and things like infinite combo amounts stuff like that. I won't tell anyone what my deck does or how it wins. That's for them to find out.
>>96476870I hate players who constantly and loudly flick their cards. No etiquette.
>>96476615Zombies. >>96476624>>96476651>>96476664Dinosaurs are strong because they got a post FIRE set dedicated to them and a handful of good cards since then in other sets. If Dinosaurs are pushed then so are Insects and pirates because they got some recent sets and post-2020 cards too. Zombies meanwhile have always been over supported and they continually get new cards ensuring they've remained relevant as power creep ratchets up.
>>96476862Not a threat
Surely this has been discussed already, yeah??? Have any "pay life" outlet out to get to 0 life or less, flicker Mr Negative, another player dies
>>96476981Treasonous ogre?This card is the first time im genuinely tempted by ubWhat a shame
Zoomers man...
>>96477036It's really wild how early cards are stuff like this, and meanwhile modern cards have ultra tiny font with 3 paragraphs.
>>96477077to be fair, you can only do so much with simple cards after decades releasesat some point complexity creep is all but guaranteed to happen just because they ran out of simple stuff to do
built mono blue urza cause I hate having friends
>>96477165good morning anon nice to have you
>>96477177Has Toskianon ever said why he's posting in every thread? Idgi
>>96476923Everything you said about zombies also applies to dragons, but with the added caveat that dragons have a million legends with novella rule texts.
>>96477223Ritualposters don't follow such trivial things like "logic"
>>96477223he was saying "I'm putting toski and other staples in my deck it makes it do fun things" or something like that before just posting the imageI thought it was a statement against other people saying stuff like "staples suck and make all decks play the same"there used to be someone with a message here, now we just hang his portrait up
>>96477269>we
>>96477252>>96477269Ritualfags strike me as the type who got bullied in high school and never got over it.
>>96476295This guy was in my prerelease deck and he underperformed and sucked. Very underwhelming.>TQAll the green landfall shit is pretty good. Icetill and especially Horizon Explorer are MVPs in Tifa and Famished Worldsire is a nuke. Frenzied Baloth is also a nice word salad utility beatstick for only GG. The other colors and space stations have been pretty underwhelming but I really like Weapons Mnufacturing and am thinking of building a Sivriss/Street Urchin deck with it soon.As for the flavor, they could have done better but overall I liked it.
>>96477036I'm an elder millenial, but I'm building a deck around her.
>>96477318
What's your highest average mana cost deck?>4.3>Teneb
Does anyone remember this elf from Duels of the planewalkeds 2013? I want to build a fun Yeva, Nature’s Herald deck that’s cheap. I don’t want to use craterhoof or some giga busted dinosaur or super power crept cards. I want stuff Uktabi orangutan or Indrik stomphowler, eternal witness etc. Does anyone who pilots this girl have suggestions or pointers? I think I can make it very cheap for around $50 since I won’t be running green suns zenith or survival of the fittest or other really strong green “staples.” The mana base might just be 34!forests and some mana elves Also is it possible to make a cute frog tribal deck, or ANY tribal deck outside the big tribes (goblins, dragons, zombies, soldiers, etc)? I think bloomburrow has some neat tribal interaction but there doesn’t seem to be any place where I can engage with it anymore.
>>96477417I should also mention that since CHB won’t be my finisher, I’ll run cheaper substitutes like overrun or overwhelming stampede or Garruk
>>96477417>cute frog tribal decknah we only got big ugly frogs here
>>96477385David Dastmalchian?
>>96477443yes
I like this artThat is all
>>96476195If you play proxies I will not recognize them and will ignore them. If you complain I will tear up your proxies and tell you to blow it out your ass.
>>96477456I have a response.
Neat
I like this card
>>96477473I miss when the bottom said the number of cards in the set
>>96477473How many other art references/tributes are there? This is neat as hell
>>96477452>only a silhouetteUnsure if this is cowardice or Hasbro trying to sell me the OG misery porn with an alt. art premium
>>96477497It's an artistic choice and the primary reason I like the art. If it wasn't that then I wouldn't like it much
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
>>96477501It's ok, you're allowed to be wrong. I like it too but want the gut-punch aftermath monologue immortalised in a card, too
>>96477385>>96477318why are you posting his face
>>96477385good job losing weight swordfag, proud of you
>>96477452Seinkiewicz is great. I hope he has art on a legendary and not just sagas.
Brand new, bought a precon and heading to lgs for the first time. I'm fine with chatting to new people but how do I lessen the awkwardness of having to ask for a game?The current plan was just to approach a group and ask if they need a 4th but I don't know what to do if I get rejected, just sit on my phone alone? What if there's a group already playing and nobody else around? I'm probably stressing out about this way too much
Does Omega, Heartless Evolution heal X for each opponent, or only once?
Who wins in a 1v1?Gay Bolas anon or Swordbro?
>>96476923How are zombies good? Genuinely don't know as I haven't seen them in a bit. All I know they can do is dump out some tokens and get some basic antheming. What shenanigans are they capable of?
>>96477659what? legitimately use your mental energy on anything else. > you guys looking for a fourth?>we have someone coming>kk >chill and wait or leaveHow old are you? I'm being serious, no one gives a shit.
>>96477696What you described was basically my plan I just wanted some advice on making it less awkward to sit around on my phone while waiting for someone else to show up.
>>96477497The alt art is significantly worse.
>>96477662>Put X stun counters on each of those permanents and you gain X lifeyou only gain X. if you were meant to gain X for each targeted creature, it would be "for each of those permanents, put X stun counters on it and gain X life"
This is the most underpowered set of the past decade
>>96477746Good? Power creep ruins the game.
>>96477752You have to ban all sets before Spider-Man for that to matter. Releasing sets that are garbage will just result in people not using those sets. Standard is not going to suddenly be depowered from this shit set. It's just not going to use cards from it and Vivi will continue to rule.
>>96477731Zoomers
>>96477696Dumb post. Don't respond next time.
>hate multiverse shit>hate comic shit>hate miles morales and all non peter parker spidermen>sealed>what kind of deck did you go? I went golgari spiderman, and he went azorious spiderman, then I went green spidermanWhy can't US comics just have one storyline and be done with it. it's just constant rehashing.
>>96477758They should instead just continue releasing lower power sets and let other things cycle out of use so the game can go back to some semblance of normal.
>>96477468I can't argue with that.
>>96477662Only the amount of differently named lands. If you flicker him or copy him you get enough life to make chewing through really annoying for your opponents but it's not the main point of the effect.
>>96477746Yeah, most cards are really, really bad. Threre's some decent ones here and there but overall they really pulled their punches on this one
>>96477789>Rotate outThis is the edh thread
>>96477810Is that flippin Universes beyond?!?!?!?!??!?!//
>>96477789Anon that's not financially plausible. Releasing ONE underpowered set after an OP set (Masques, OG Kamigawa) is already financially disastrous. It's suicidal to intentionally release duds for over two years in a row because you're both causing the meta to stagnate AND not moving any cards off the shelf in that time.This is literally why Type 2 ended up failing at the goal it set out to accomplish. Sure you're no longer competing against the design mistakes from the start of the game's lifespan anymore, but you're still perpetually competing against the strongest cards from the last set.
>>96477831yeah, i think that weird monk guy is one of those Avatar cards, dunno how bro got his hand on it before release, though.
>>96477659>>96477696
>>96477805Who mentioned standard? Wasn't me, it was the guy I was responding to.
>>96477542
>>96477783>Why can't US comics just have one storyline and be done with it. it's just constant rehashing.Why can't TCGs just have one release and be done with it. it's just constant rehashing
Just realized that if you cast a permanent spell from exile this puts two +1/+1 counters on your entire board. Seems pretty damn good. Still wish they'd print a jund legend that cares about casting from exile though
>>96477925why can't JP manga just have one storyline and be done with it. it's either cancelled in the middle or does so well they need it to rehash the same plot for 30 years.
>>96477938Jesus christ as if flicker decks need another busted as fuck strategy. GodDAMN
>>96477783Western comics, specifically cape comics, are more like fanfiction. They're fan interpretations of old characters whose creators have passed on.
>>96477938Nah, not quite.When you cast a spell, you put it on the stack, which is a separate zone.So the permanent card you cast from exile would be entering from the stack, rather than from exile.It's also better with flicker than with casting exiled, since when you flicker the creature entering will also get a counter, but when you cast something from exile only the things already on the board will get counters.
>Vigilance, lifelink>When Mr. Negative enters, you may exchange your life total with target opponent. If you lose life this way, draw that many cards.Neat effect. But the absurd mana cost makes him feel like the face card for a starter deck from 2012
>>96477938Thieves' Auction.That is all.
>>96477925What's this Reddit-tier response? Anon's complaining about rehashes, not continuations. If you want to bitch about shit like Jumpstart, sure, but who is going to argue against you on that?
>>96477997You lost.
>>96478003>Faggot tries to coopt /pol/ meme>Doesn't even do it right
>>96477997People like character. Writers write stories with character. Eventually too many stories. Character splits or timeline resets because people still like character. Its not confusing. People like the property, so they continue making it.
>>96478007>Character splits or timeline resets because people still like characterYou just defeated your own argument.
>>96478005>/pol/ memeHuh?
>>96478011Don't think I did as the character is still being put in stories that people still enjoy. Youre arguing against reality.
>>96478013>Don't think I didOf course you didn't, you're retarded.You're saying that people like a character, so they're going to like the character's development getting erased or otherwise characters that aren't said character. It's stupid - you're talking about Spider-Man as if anyone likes OMD or that people are reading the spinoff characters. They're not - people like Peter Parker. They like iterations of his story. Nobody gives a crap about the Amazing Wheelchair Bitch or whatever.
>>96478026>why do so many stories be made>because people like the character!>waaaaahhAgain, there is no argument. Comics are the way they are because people like the characters. It doesnt have to make sense to your autismo brain
>>96477663GBA solos everything.
>>96477417Vedalken orrery and Vivien, champion of the wilds can serve as redundancies for Yeva. Temur sabertooth will be an all star for reusing ETB effects and retriggering creature based draw effects like soul of the harvest and elemental bond. While using ETB creatures like instant speed spells will be the main gimmick it still helps to have some mana sinks (Kamahl, Nemata, and ant queen were some options I used before) or a way to bank mana like with Omnath.
>>96477938>WBR gets a flicker commander before WBUreally?
>>96478077Aminatou
>>96478082sybau
>>96476923Zombies suck though. They're nowhere near as easy to cheat shit in as dinosaurs and dragons. Even with Rooftop Storm.
>>96477974He'll be fun as a silly trick card in a deck but as a commander himself he does feel very weak.
>>96477974>Suicide myself down to 1>play Mr. Negative>lmao nothin personnelThis is going to make some easily upset nerd rage.
>>96476150>How do you feel about Edge of Eternities? Flavor? Mechanics? What cards from it did you add to your decks?I kind of wish they didn't nerf the black color so much in this, I am a big fan of the aesthetics of black cards in the set. But I don't know how much of it will be usable in a commander deck, unless I do a exile focus deck and I'm not a big fan of how those decks play.
How do I make her good?
>>96476150>TQNot to interested in it really. I like the bug guys but the space suits all the humans have in the set not so much. The robots are also uninteresting. Which sucks since I like space things and was hoping this would be a fun space set. The only thing I've really added to a deck from the set was a Starfield Shepherd. Not sure if there's much else I'm looking to add.
>>96478182Springleaf drum + Freed from the real.
>>96478038>I can't make a counterargument, therefore I'm going to greentext something you never said and attack that strawman!This game is fun.
Was thinking of building this, the king shit at LGS plays a suped up (pun-intended) Justice League deck and it just about wipes every other deck. I know James and the Giant Peach is super popular but even it has no chance against Justice League.Another thought, pirates of the caribbean is literally next week and terminator two weeks after that. So maybe I should hold off to find out what's the current hotness? I'd love to take this guy out, I know my wallets are deeper than his.
>Gay cripple Spider-Man gets a cardChrist, really scraping the bottom of the barrel for options with the expansion to a full set, huh?
>>96478178>In response, I cast Lightning Bolt
>>96478219This card triggers my color pie autism.
>>96478221It's certainly a high risk reward thing.
>>96478226Should've been boros
>>96478226It's perfect for Azorious.
>>96478243It really doesn't need a second color. There's nothing about this design space that couldn't be done in mono-W, hence they made it hybrid, but U doesn't have Open the Armory colorshifted (yet, probably). This just makes it more limited for what it can be slotted in.
>>96477417Yeva can be built borderline cEDH, ashaya combos at instant speed are deadly
what's my wincon
>>96478219Wouldn't it be super easy to find out who this spider man was?
>>96478289fireball and aetherflux reservoir
I need more group slug cards for my Breena deck.
>>96478219nothing about that cool as fuck design denotes either of those things
>>96478303I played this card once. I NEVER got a card out of it, every straight refused, even when near death. Being able to deny me cards, while also exiling them was too good in their minds, even with the life loss. Didn't help that I built that deck low to the ground, so they weren't losing much life off it anyway. I hope you don't play with smart, spiteful players, anon.
>>96478305Most magic cards that portray someone gay or a cripple, don't have mechanics the suggest such.
>>96478219>Be upset about this!No
>>96478219Boy am I glad I don't read comics. A Spider-Guy can just be a Spider-Guy.
>>96478330>>96478325>>96478324>>96478219
>>96478289winter + static orb
>>96478375And where on the card is all this said or suggested anon? Can you show the rest of the class? What mechanics show that this character is either gay or a crippled? Can you point to them? Or in the flavortext?
>>96478388
>>96478400>Admitting you lostDamn man. So fucking sad, it thought you where going to at least make an attempt.
>I said be mad!No
>>96478319>I hope you don't play with smartIt's Commander anon>spiteful players...its Commander anon
So, anonWhich commander will you build from Spooder-mon?
>>96478450None. I'm more anticipating next year's UB lineup which gets unveiled end of this month.
>>96478444Damn. Sucks you have a playgroup/LGS that shit. Also;>I will recognize that the posters in this thread are more dedicated than 90% of the player base and as such I am sweaty
>>96478450Sir Not Positive. I think he is pretty strong despite that mana cost.
>>96478299>implying that superhero fiction writers know about process of eliminationBut in all honesty, yes. Even if an investigator doesn't get the model of the wheelchair, the fact she needs & uses one would eliminate a majority of the suspects. Which makes the fact that she CARRIES IT WITH HER even more retarded
>my card trading platform of choice STILL has no option to exclude sets>with the barrage of UB im more and more likely to receive a version of an older card i want, but with a fat log running down Spiderdoodoos legs, inside his spandex
Been batting around the Knight deck thing again, looking through commanders since I'm already doing Syr Konrad for the Snow-Covered + Extraplanar thing, why bother doing only mono-white for Knights?I've seen some cool ones, from the more normal with Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir (A deck I had before), Jeskai Eowyn who cares about humans, Boros Elizabeth Taggerdy who gives draw and lets you play creatures smaller than her power on attack, Celes for Mardu grave knights, Adriana for blanket Melee, etc. Anyone have any opinions on Knights for a bracket 2-ish thing? Maybe 3 if I like the way it's playing.>>96478537>he doesn't just buy the version he likes mostweird
>>96478558Okay fag, I'm going to do you 100,000 favors in one single post.Ditch Knights and go with Human tribal in Eowyn. She's strong, she makes Knights, and most Knights are human so you can bypass committing to how awful the tribe is while still using the good ones you like.
>>96478669>>96478558this. I don't want to see you posting some shitty Knight kindred decklist over and over and crying that you can't find knights who do X or Y or whatever. Humans are significantly easier to work with.
>>96478676>kindred
>tqPinnacle Emissary has been the single best add for modern affinity or jhoira cheerio spam. One mana to make a 1/1 token for each artifact you play is super good.My question: which is a more resilient bracket 4 artifact commander: urza or breya? I feel like either will get screeched "cedh" at the first sign of a force of will.Also, why does bracket 4 have the biggest range of decks? At its floor, it's any pile of jank with enough game changers (or god forbid, land destruction), and it's ceiling is fringe cedh. Every issue I've had playing in this zone are gaslit players who don't run interaction.
>>96478215It makes me sad that this soon wont be satire
>>96478731>he thinks there's ever a question of running Urza or not
>>96478215Give in to the dark side and make Toyota Vehicles.
>>96478226Most the cards in this set ignore the color pie. People say all UB does it, but LOTR stuck to the colors pretty well.
>>96477974Reanimator target to draw 20 cardsYawn
>>96478226How about open the vaults, Steelshaper's Gift and SFM?
>>96478388What are you, retarded?
>>96478904Still haven't shown me how her being gay and a cripple is mechanically represented on her card. So, are you?
>>96478939Its literally on the art, moron.
>>96478944I don't care about art, anon. I care about is what the card does. And if we're talking about art, until (YOU) started sperging about it, I would have never have known that those web-slinging stick were crutches. Or that the thing on her back is a wheelchair. Seems like the sort of thing one notices only if they're specifically looking for it. I don't even know the character and I assume the majority of players don't either. Can you tell me how it matters to the average player?
>>96478558Accept that knights kind of suck and build Raffine, tutor or connive Haakon as your wincon.
>>96478182would
>>96477496This is basically it.
>>96478981Wew
>TQadded this to Jodah, it fits in pretty nice
>>96478214WE ARE NOT ARGUING. YOU ASKED WHY SOMETHING HAPPENS. I TOLD YOU. YOU DIDNT LIKE THE ANDWER AND CRIED. THERE IS NO GAME YOURE JUST FUCKING RETARDED
>>96476603greasefang sucks lmao
>>96478226That is 100% an azorius card wot
>>96477947>>96477971>>96478077Just so you idiots are aware, flicker and +1/+1 counters do NOT synergize.
>>96478221makes quick gamesquick games are based
>>96476195cute!
I want to make a deck where I warp in shittons of huge artifact and red creatures, and I need ideas. Obviously Blightsteel will be one of them, but I need more. I'm planning to use sundial to keep everyone on field once I cheat them in, and plan to go fishing for sundial with stuff like gamble. Anyone got any recommendations?
>>96479513sort: cmcdirection: descending
>>96479513dropping this early is always a good laugheven if you can't sundial it, just means you can cast it later for full effect againremember warp means you don't have to be married to sundial-like shenanigans, a lot of cards it warps out are perfectly fine to just full cast later on, especially if you have some exile synergy, since casting them from exile is independent of Tannuk himself so you can't get screwed over
>>96478219Can’t have scraped too hard because WHERE THE FUCK IS KINGPIN?
>>96479588He should be coming if the fucking Jackal get's a card
>>96479588Probably because he is now associated with Daredevil
>>96479554That's no fun.>>96479576I was thinking about that as well. Although I had planned to protect Tannuk with stuff like Commander's Plate, Lightning Greaves, and so on. Basically I was thinking>basic lands and a few fancier ones like Cavern of Souls>get Tannuk out>protect him if necessary >rest of deck is fuckhuge artifacts and red stuff that are cheated out nonstop to bonk people
>>96479648>thats no funNot everything in life will be fun zoomie. You can look at artifacts yourself and see what you like instead of asking others to develop a personality for you.>only cards he can name are Commanders plate, greaves and cavern of souls for some absurd reasonI hate zoomers
>>96479655okay tough guy what protection are YOU running in mono red
>>96479655>BAWWW HOW DARE THAT GUY ASK ON THE MONGOLIAN BASKET WEAVING FORUM INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT A CHART
>>96479689Yes. That guy has done absolutely no leg work. Stop defending laziness. There is no virtue in defending this behavior. Bring a list, show people youre actually invested in what you are asking for help with. I happily help people all the time in this thread (if they post lists) but laziness should be called out it creates a bad, low effort community.
>>96479648>That's no fun.chearing out big guys with tannuk is unfun
>>96479513Sword of Eden would be pretty nice also Darksteel Colossus and Avatar of Slaughter would be nice I think
>>96479764That's because you're one of those fags that cry about not having to pay mana for things. If you don't like or want to cheat shit out in Magic, you don't like the game fundamentally and need to leave.
>>96479779it's a straight forward gameplan, what help do you even want expect for naming big things to warp in?
>>96479588Kingpin is a shared villain between a lot of Marvel guys, and while he IS a Spidey villain, he's nowhere near exclusively such, so it makes sense to exclude him from this set and leave him for a larger Marvel set.
>>96479792I’m more upset that while the printed a 5color spider legend, they didn’t make a legend that could house all the sinister six. Doc Ock, the supposed leader of the group can’t run the red or green members. This set is so shit. Also why the fuck does Eddie Brock revive a 1drop?
>>96479276Are you actually fucking retarded????>flicker the same creature over and over>Cathars' Crusade on every other creature you controlholy fuck PLEASE tell me you're not this stupid
>>96479954So you're running a bunch of creatures with no etbs that have no synergy with your deck? Cool I guess...
>>96479989The ETB is all your creatures get stronger
>>96479989>he really is that stupidI feel sorry for your parents.
>>96479860I can see there being a 5-colour Villain in a different set (probably God-Emperor Doom or something) because Hero/Villain stuff will be a throughline through all the Marvel sets.
>>96479999...all your creatures you can no longer flicker lmao
>>96479989>generate infinite mana>flicker one creature infinite times>infinite +1/+1 counters on all your other creatures>they all have tramplePlease learn how to play the game.
>>96479989The vast majority of flicker effects only target 1 creature, anon
>>96479989>>96480061>gets proven wrong multiple times>triple-downs on his wrong ideaThe delusion is palpable.
>>96480061I dont want to flicker all of them. Likely a couple good flicker targets and a bunch of good beaters. This isnt confusing
>>96480089Infinite mana doing a lot of heavy lifting there champ>>96480090Nigga I have like 5 different flicker decks. If you only have one creature you wanf to flicker you're doing it wrong. Sure you can spam counters, but it produces enough tension with the overall strategy that it's a bad move. Maybe as a combo finish or something but it's just kind of dumb and there are better things to do.>>96480120Sounds like a bunch of people who don't know how to play the game or build decks. Please play your anti-synergy shitpile against me.
>>96480140The best part is you dont even have to flicker creatures. Youre just mad and bad
>>96480189
Just flicker Moonshaker Cavalry??
>What why would I play all these enchantress effects in my artifact deck? Pfft you must not play magic. Everyone knows you don't want your cards to actually work together!>Oh yeah Primal Surge is my main wincon in my spellslinger deck! It's so cool when your deck doesn't work and the pieces cancel each other out!>Of course you should run RiP in your reanimator decks! Don't you know grave hate is good? There's this one way where you might get a little value or something kinda!
>>96480189Just admit you are brewing a clunky deck that will lose all of the time except that one time you attack for 15 or something. It's fine to have meme builds fren.
>>96480220I do that in my Mono W Abdel deck. I don't run any counter generators though... that would be weird and quite shitty and bad.
>>96476195>close your eyes, you'll be here soon.
>>96480250Agreed as monoW abdel doesnt synergize with it in that way LUCKILY the avatar card buffs the creatures you didnt flicker>>96480238Im not brewing anything it just does not seem like an absurd build. Whats more likely is you dont like Avatar/UB and are larping as a brain damaged person as a result
>>96477746its a cycle. The past few sets def have felt a bit lower power.Mostly as sets before them were settting new levels of power.
>>96478247U doesn't need open the armory.Colors with better version of effects, still have the worse version of the effect in their pie. U can normally tutor up any artifact. Equipment fall under that.Though, it is technically a break? As far as I am aware U can't tutor up enchantments/aura's.So this being hybrid is stating mono-u could tutor up an aura.
>>96480362>So this being hybrid is stating mono-u could tutor up an aurayou are retarded and i don't know where you get ideas like this from
>>96479091>No actual response.I accept your concession
>>96477746Good, capeshit fags deserve nothing good ever
>>96480140>Infinite mana doing a lot of heavy lifting there champThe same could be said of like 90% of decks out there, you absolute fucking moron
>>96480140>>96480238>quintuple-downsYou just hate to see it.
>>96480405by the fact that is how hybrid works? You can cast this with only U mana.The way it was designed, by MaRo. Its "or" vs multicolored's "and"White could do this effect, OR Blue can do this.>https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/making-magic/the-history-of-hybrid-part-1you dumb fuck.
What a letdownCould have at least placed a stun counter
>>96480479Yeah but they're still blue and white at the same time
I yuck people's yum
>>96480538which is a designation that only matters for EDH. That doesn't change the that wotc is saying mono-u can do this effect.Unless they come out and say they fucked it up like they did with llowrywn/shadowmoore and admitted some of those cards should have been gold, instead of hybrid.
>>96480545>only matters for EDHNo? If something said return all blue permanents and you paid only White mana for this hybrid card, it would be bounced, regardless of format.
>>96478226universes beyond doesn't need to obey in universe color pie rules
>>96478219why is the other arm so tiny even tho they are both towards viewer?
>what's your wincon bro?uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh combat damage??????
>>96480578wincon?
>>96478219Those legs are too dynamically posed for someone that can't move them. They should be way danglier.
>>96480578I'm just here to put +1/+1 counter on my cardsthese boys are gonna be huge!
>>96480600cathars' crusade bros, we're gonna make it
>>96480545It doesn't really feel too 'wrong' for Blue to be able to search Enchantments. Though there's only one actual precedent for that and it's not a good one.
>final fantasy has the most powerful cards this year>spiderman is nothing but trash but some two or three cards work well with vivi>avatar seems its going to be another powerhouseYou can tell not even R&D wanted to make capeshit and made it awful on porpouse
>>96480541Hearing the Professor say this in a video gave me a visceral disgust reaction. What a disgusting phrase.
>>96480712its slightly different in that its taking it from an opponent.Eternal dominion is just U super theft.also the key part to the great snake mistake
>>96480743They wanted to make it a small set and much like Assassin's Creed they didn't want a small set to be important, but then they made it larger and kept the power level kinda the same. Secret Identity and Spider-Sense will probably see some play in Standard but beyond that I doubt we'll see much of it.
>>96478226>Blue has always been flying>White cares about equipmentsWhere is the problem? I also don't know anything about the character, she may perfectly align with azourious for all o know.
>>96480838It's moreso that it's hybrid, meaning that either blue or white could do these. White certainly can, but Blue tutoring enchantments at all is new (it can tutor artifacts well enough no issue there).
>>96480578I'm a firm believer that bracket 1-3 should be combat wins first and foremost and 4-5 you go crazy.
>ive had 5 years to fix up my friends sidisi deck>i built the list online>i tested it >it works>got the cards>tossed them in a box>never put it together>he wants his deck back today>cant find the cards>give him back a completely unchanged deck despite spending like 60 bucks and a dozen hours working on itI'm so fucking pissed at myself. How do any of you ever finish anything? I feel like I am always pulled in a billion directions and never get anything done deck building wise.
>>96480934>buy/trade for cards>put them in deck immediately Simple
>>96480934Can I see the list?
Thoughts? How many decks would actually care about this?
>>96480973theres really no point part of the problem is that I was testing it with proxies and the list I have online is pretty different than the list I settled on. I have a hard time keeping lists up to date, I just feel like its a lot of work to keep a deck in paper, change stuff out in paper, then look to see what cards are missing between the two lists and go card by card until both lists are the samemaybe I am doing things super inefficiently idk.
>>96481012All of Red's draw is cast from exile effects so basically every red deck can benefit.
>>96480757It really is a putrid expression. I have no idea why some people use it unless they're trying to be disgusting.
>>96480743>avatar seems its going to be another powerhouseIt does? Where is that from? It seems like the majority of it was pretty low powered too.
>>96480934How did you go five years without touching the deck in paper? Why'd it take him five years to ask for it back?
>>96481146the guy I am building this for has hated magic since around Origins and basically said he would play it once then put it away.I think part of me thought it was my one chance to get the old playgroup back together and frankly, while a long shot, I completely shit the bed. Not because I didn't do the work or care but because I couldn't finish the last 5% of the project.
>>96480934>got the cards>tossed them in a boxBut why?
>>96481257didn't have time to put them in immediately, needed to clean up my area. Figured I would come back to them. Didn't until it was impossible to figure out what went with what.
>>96481249>the guy I am building this for has hated magic since around OriginsYou should have never accepted.
>>96481283but anon you don't understand.Since our playgroup disbanded, playing Magic has never been as fun as it used to be. Honestly nothin in life compares to that time. Not even having kids. I just want to go back so bad bros...
>>96481270>needed to clean up my areaPutting them away by slotting them into the deck would also have cleaned up your “area,” and in a more efficient manner. Do you also dump your clean laundry on the floor of your closet because you need to “clean up your area”?
>>96481270>>96481249Get medicated
>>96481319medicated for what? This is normal I imagine.
>>96481315>this useless motherfucker who can’t even complete the most basic of tasks and comes to fucking 4chan for advice on it has produced offspringNo wonder the world’s going to shit.
>>96481323You imagine inaccurately.
>>96481332there's no way they make a pill that makes you finish the last 5% of a project. I just need a better system.
>>96480934I don't feel like I've done anything until I have a Moxfield list built out and tagged and the deck sleeved and in a deck box. Tune ups are based on playtesting and new releases. If I'm getting new cards I put them in and make changes to Moxfield accordingly. >>96481323This is only "normal" for excess cards. Like I have a stack of cards sitting on my desk that I want to brew with but if I already have a deck to build it's going to be sleeved up in a deck box.
>>96479513coveted jewel is ridiculously stupid with tannuk
>>96481315>I just want to go back so bad bros...There's no going back. 'Sucks to suck.
>>96481338>retard-kun has never heard of AdderallThe notion of you having reproduced continues to fill me with a vague sense of unease.
>>96481338You had ADD retard and yes they do make pills for you
>>96481349all adderall does is turn you into a zombie who likes to clean and do house worki'll fucking pass
>>96481354>adderall makes you a woman
>>96481381Yeah, imagine wanting that. I was on it for a bit and it was like >wow I get up, go to work, finish my work, come home do chores, watch tv and go to bedI can't imagine anyone living like that for more than 6mo.
>>96481394>do choresIs like 15 minutes if you do this daily>watch TV and sleepThe problem is you anon
>>96481408I would do like 2 hours of chores a day when I was on Adderall and my internal monologue was way too silent. It was like being a worker drone. That's when I realized that there's always more house chores/projects to complete and I'd rather be a little more scatterbrained than an automata.plus I still had issues doing the last 5% of projects. I do not recommend it. Anyone who tells you stims help with adhd is a charlatan who's either trying to get high or someone who needs to believe there is an outside solution to their problems. We just need better systems not narcotics.
>>96478219>>96478375I too go out of my way to find things to be upset about.Funny how often the anti-woke people reflect Tumblr sjws in so many ways.
>>96481440>I would do like 2 hours of chores a dayThe fuck kinda dirty hellhole do you live in? Tidying up as you go along and there's fucking nothing to clean, ever.
>>96481453You didn't read the post.You can always find more to be done. I was doing shit like replacing light fixtures, rewiring parts of the house and building a sandbox.
>>96481315Sometimes I yearn for the past, but ny kids are the greatest things that have ever happened to me, even if they can be shitheads at times. I hope that you are just frustrated and don't genuinely value your kids less than your former group.
>>96481589I feel endless love for my kids but sometimes I don't feel like I get a whole lot back and that's fine. There is just something special about having peers that get you on a fundamental level. I was the one who chose to leave first and it was because I valued my wife and kids, but now all these years later I am beginning to realize that you can't just replace friends with kids/responsibility/wife. My friends have moved on to different hobbies, I still like magic but don't have a lot of time to play it or a whole lot of people to play with. I wish things could be different.
>>96481717>don't feel like I get a whole lot back and that's fineWhat you get back should be self actualized you fucking reject lmao. I bet your family loathes you.
>>96481759You seem awful upset for no reason. I just don't feel the way a lot of people feel about family in that it is not the end all be all for fulfillment.
>>96480541It's not only infantile, it's ridiculous too.Yuck fucking yums. Why should anyone else's preferences be above criticism? It's retard moral relativist bullshit. If you think your own opinions aren't better than others, then you can't justify why you have them, which means you've never thought about why you have the opinions you have instead of others. Serious NPC shit.
Magic cards are too verbose, we need more terms to summarize long sentences."Whenever you attack, exile the top 2 cards of your library, you may play them until end of turn" This is now called flurbo. >Whenever you attack, Flurbo 2Now we need short hand terms for attack triggers. Multi-Engage: Flurbo 2Creature dying? Dunk. 'This creature' -> Boronko, 'any creature' Boronko CalvoBoronko Calvo Dunks, Flurbo 2, Mill 3 then gain 4 life on Engage
>>96481967>Now we need short hand terms for attack triggers.>Multi-Engage: Flurbo 2>Creature dying? Dunk. 'This creature' -> Boronko, 'any creature' Boronko Calvo>Boronko Calvo Dunks, Flurbo 2, Mill 3 then gain 4 life on EngageBro is having a straight up aneurysm
>>96480578This question is typically asked sarcastically, or critically, when a player (often of the bitchy variety) does nothing but 'interact' by mass removal and slowing the game down tremendously. Like a monkey throwing shit, the deck likely spams removal without any sort of end goal.
>>96481978the only time I have ever heard it used is by shithead youtubers and their mediocre decktechs
>>96481974yes but compare sentence lengths. >When a creature dies, exile the top 2 cards of your library, you may play them until end of turn, then mill 3. Whenever you attack, gain 4 life.
>>96481967I think magic cards are fine
>>96481995It's like they forgot what kind of game yugioh was when they introduced pendulum
>>96481995I remember when I first tried yugioh with a friend, and we spend about half an hour just reading our starting hands
>>96481967this will not solve anything. the current design team has this NEED to fill the box anyway no matter how much you shorten wordsif anything, we need to get rid of keywords to lessen effect space
>>96481995I would bot mind YGO cards if the formatting wasn't non-existent. The OCG cards have linebreaks and bullet, which make that card so much easier to parse at a glance
>>96482015Yeah it really grenaded peoples interest i feel>>96482029Real. I played years ago when xyz was recent, even thought I only played Gem Knights and Six Samurai I had to check my shit a lot. I liked xyz and the built in "material" system. Pendulum was wew
>>96482015This guy is emblematic of what Yugioh was like when he was printed. He has so much text because he's basically a whole deck compressed down into one card. The deck is built to find him, play him, pay off his resource effects, recycle him if he gets removed, and add additional free agents that are just as strong onto the board if possible. Archetype design trying to do its thing 100% of the time on turn 1 ruined Yugioh since the resource limitation was cards in play. Konami started designing cards to always be able to find the rest of its plays if you find any of its other pieces back in around 2015 and the game snapped in half and turned into what it is today because of it. If you play Edison 2010 or HAT 2014 the game actually makes sense as long as you know the basic rules like the phases, how to summon, effect timing, the battle phase, etc.
>>96481967>>96481992Why are you stopping at just words and these are still too long. Lets go to numbers and letters and throw it all in the rules.>"Whenever you attack, exile the top 2 cards of your library, you may play them until end of turn" >This is now called [11]. >Whenever you attack, [11] 2>Now we need short hand terms for attack triggers. >[12.a]: [11] 2>Creature dying? [13]. 'This creature' -> Boronko, 'any creature' Boronko Calvo>Boronko Calvo [13], [11] 2, Mill 3 then gain 4 life on [12.a]Finally, good text. The best part is that you can infinitely expand them too.When we get Glorp Shitting in "Zepo Depos on Ravnica x Tarkir" years down the road, because they introduced 6 new mechanics every set and revisited none of them, we'll be able to call them [1425.a.41] which is a combination of [1425.a] and [41].
>>96482100exactly, we need to go further, a hash per sentence that has to be read with ai
>>96482085>Archetype design trying to do its thing 100% of the time on turn 1 ruined YugiohDoes Magic have anything similar? The only thing I can think of is ritual/cantripping your way into a Storm combo, but you're at the mercy of what you draw, for the most part
>I BRONCO CHUNGUS INTO YOUR WUBBLE
>>96481995The flak this guy got was way overblown. Just read the damn card.
>>96482117Magic just skips the foreplay of a combo and prints the wincon on the 1drop.
>>96482117Isn't that just what every deck has in the command zone now?
>>96482117"Partner with" is as close as it gets but even that's not even close. Imagine Vivi Cauldron in Standard but you have 12 tutor creatures that specifically find your Vivi and when Vivi gets played he puts Cauldron onto the field and jumps into it while your tutor creatures that found the Vivi instantly get +1+1 counters and have various other effects like gaining protection or destroying an opponent's permanent when they activate a Vivi effect applied by Cauldron. It's all designed to work exactly how the developers want it to and the variance comes from the rest of your deck being made up of free counterspells. Anyone who plays can tell you I'm not joking.
>>96481138>red getting free mana in combat>green using lands as reusable sac fodder>white getting flexible exile toolsits anything but low power
>>96482107A legitimate concern I have is that the game is going to have so many stupid little keywords in them that we're going to start putting QR codes on cards and have to scan them to pull up all the keywords on them.It already feels like you have to play with google in hand to search up what some stupid keyword is and to make sure they're remembering it correctly. Like just tonight I had Evolve come up and have to clarify it's procing on only your own creatures entering rather than anyone's.
>>96482146>>96482193>guys who've only played MTGYou have no fucking clue how bad other CCGs are and how deeply lower your opinion of Asians should be that they keep these card games afloat internationally instead of dying like the dogshit designs they are
>>96482247>Play YGO>I can remove the 1drop without losing tempo>Play Magic>"Removal in Standard? That's a tall ask."
I heard union arena had pretty good gameplay (though it's ruined by the franchise exclusivity for decks)
>>96482145>Just read the card>With that much text on the small ass cardsThat's part of the problem. Just trying to read it is a fucking pain
I finally went off with ophiomancer + purphoros (and finished with prossh etb)
>>96482262If you don't remove the one drop in YGO the game ends, which just isn't true in MTG across any format
>>96482146retard here, why is this card so popular? my opponents just block him
>>96482236I guess I should post the exact card for context.Not to mention discover is another one of those keywords but we at least had another card to reference in the grave that had discover on it.
is kamahl fist of krosa a bracket 4 commander?
>>96480578>>96481978I ask it when there's 2 players left and they're both durdling along hoping something will turn up.I'm happy to go like 15 mins more after I'm out the game but it's just disrespectful to other people's time to just keep ticking over turn after turn without a plan to win. I will always ask>okay, so can you win from this board state?To encourage them to think about what their deck actually fucking does and whether they can close out the game or should just concede>>96480600I knew a FtM exactly like this. Played selesnya counters and just sat there never swinging at anyone.
>>96482288Except that one time when removing the one drop actually hurt as much as it helped.
>>96482299>This game has too many keywords!>Posts a card with two keywordsAt least post Zetalpa or Odric, this just makes you look like a moron
>>96482288Yeah that would never happen.
are there any good cards that give your opponents creatures in U/B and in common or uncommon
>>96480545>That doesn't change the that wotc is saying mono-u can do this effectwho told you this

>>96482311I'm posting that one because it came up tonight, not because I want to cherrypick an example from the entire game's history.I typed "...keyword in THEM..." instead of "..keywords in IT..." my bad but you don't need to be a faggot about it.Quantity of keywords on a single card is a seperate concern I do have though. God so help us if it's several even slightly obscure ones together.
>>96482360Obligatory thanks mr. skeletal to avoid his wild ride.
>>96482334>in common or uncommonReally limiting yourself, there. The vast majority are rare
>post on here a few days ago comparing the Spiderman set to Assassin's Creed>some anons disagree with me>TCC puts out a video shitting on Spiderman and saying some of the same things I saidI feel vindicated.
>>96481717What you are going through is probably the hardest, grimmest normal part of being a parent. Just remember that you having a family doesn't mean you lose the ability to be your own person. It is really important both for yourself and as a healthy model for your kids. If you don't have enough time for friends, you may want to talk to your wife about you having some more you time. Of course, that is easier said then done. You deserve to be happy anon. Hang in there.This guy >>96481759 can go fuck himself.
>>96482433>a known retard agreed with meIm clapping for you fr
>>96482433Doesn't feel so good when other people yumming your yuck, huh "professor"?
Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithe shouldn't be game changers. People need to learn to just pay their taxes.
>>96482433Bro I felt the soul draining from his body. You KNOW he's dreading the fact we're getting 5+ more Marvel sets and this is Mark's passion project so there's zero chance they do anything but double down.
>>96482441Carving out you time is healthy I mean
>>96482464I think it's only really Mark's passion project because he's passionate about making money
>>96482464We're getting like 3 more Marvel sets at most.
>>96482456Agreed. Everyone should pay the price.
>>96482346Awaken is already a keyword FYI.https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/AwakenMight want to choose another word that's an antonym to manifest/cloak like solidify, decloak, unmask (we have card name and mechanic name overlap already), or something else to that effect.Aside from that I see what the intent is and as someone else who enjoys some face downs I also wish we had some kind of fixer for ETBs on facedowns. This is probably the most sane way of going about it.The only thing is that if you're making a deck based on getting important ETBs you're better off just making a flicker deck which is already in those colors and you're just adding a lot of unnecessary complexity to turn them on.It also feels like this card is over centralizing to what the deck would want to do and without it up your deck becomes dysfunctional.Can you give a specific example of a card you would want to enable with this commander?
>>96482496There's 6 infinity stones + the gauntlet. At the current release schedule of 1/set that's 6 more sets.
>>96482538Kind of a silly assumption anon
>>96482538>5 more sets where the only remotely decent card is an Infinity Stone mana rockGrim, but at least my wallet can sleep easy.
>>96476858ive been playing with the same pod for 6 months so we dont gotta do that shit
>>96482332>WHAAAA THE first and only the very first noncreature spell EACH TURN COSTS ME A QUADRILLION MANA MORE TO CAST?>i scoop in response, literally unbeatable you suck tremendously
>>96482639Esper Sentinel is kinda a pain in the ass, but I don't see it as a huge problem in EDH.Play more removal or play more creatures and it won't lose you the pod on its own.
>>96476858>around what bracket do you guys want to play? That's about as far as it goes now. My locals is pretty good for keeping the vibes right and not being too confrontational. It helps that people mostly play at a 2.5-ish average.
I like the idea of a thief of sanity.dek where you play your opponent's stuff, but how good is it actually? I keep imagining situations where you spend all your mana on exiling stuff from the opponent's deck, only to get stuff you can't cast because its too expensive, or stuff that is too synergistical to their gameplan and that doesn't do much for you. It seems too slow, even for casual tables. Anyone got experience with it?
>>96482538The article where they talked about the throughlines through the Marvel sets (the Stones and Hero/Villain stuff mostly), they called out Spider-Man having only one Stone, which suggests to me that the others will have at least 2 each. Or more likely, 2, 2, 1 + Gauntlet.
>>96482687people put good cards in their decks generally so it's pretty goodbut getting their stuff stolen makes people salty sad so expect to get focused
>>96482687>>96482708>but getting their stuff stolen makes people salty sad so expect to get focused100%. People will either find it amusing or hate your fucking guts and refuse to even let their cards be on your side of the table. I've seen people scoop when stuff like Threaten is played
>>96482687FF added a couple of decent Rakdos thief cards in Locke and Kefka so i kind of want to give ol Donny a try too.
>>96482708Yeah but it feels like you could cut the middleman and put good cards in your deck instead. That's the problem, the opponents are going to be playing good cards, when you're first playing some garbage to get their good cards and THEN play it. Its just fundamentally slow
>>96482745It's card advantage is what it is.Plus you extra value for playing stuff you don't own, plus you deny cards to your opponents like opposition agent. And if you're doing Don Andres you're also yoinking enemy creatures and sacrificing them.It's a weird way to get your removal, damage and card advantage but it's not fundamentally wrong or bad.
>>96482745Not everything has to be meta. People are allowed to play lower-powered/slower decks. It's called "having fun" anon, you should try it sometime.
>>96482774plus cards that give you extra value for playing stuff you don't own*
>>96482424sad
>>96478289This card is actually a really sweet equipment commander. You can tap your Equipment to pay for their own equip cost.
When's the next arcana?
>>96482639>Thalia but half the manacost and only applies to your opponents is a good cardIt's okay anon I know you're new to the game so you don't remember an era D&T was a leading Legacy deck.
>>96482907UB when?
>>96482537Scry shenanigans, 4 colors so you can mix/match etbs and synergies with flicker because you won’t need to pay to flip if you use conjuring closet.
>>96482263Played a bit of that at a convention lately. Yes it is actually kind of interesting with how it handles energy and playing cards. At least compared to something like One Piece.
>>96482919Far too niche. I can't see anything in that sphere ever getting anything. We probably won't see any books in general getting stuff (that aren't already huge touchstones like LOTR) except maybe some Sanderson stuff.
>player stole a commander and countered mine 3 times>2nd deck where he just sits there and does nothing but counter and remove shit until he scoops of boredomHoly shit, I thought half these stupid wss stories were fake.
>>96482907I fucking love tarot themes, Yugioh fucked theirs up, I would love Magic to do a whole series of major arcana as long as they're good
>>96482919Shin Megami Tensei UB is my long shot request. As far as I know Atlus hasn't done anything with the franchise in the TCG sphere.
>>96483026Return to Innistrad with a Tarot theme? Or a new plane with Tarot as a major influence?
>>96482775Sure, but your deck also needs to be functional for you to have fun. I play in a bracket 2 table where we're playing fucking planechase most of the time and one of us only plays precons, and even then i think the archetype might be too slow for my table
>>96483051Neither. Just occasionally we get another card based on major arcana. That's what the original post was referring to.
Is it actually reasonable to play this in Zedruu? Seems like it can double as a boardwipe and fuel for Zedruu in the lategame. Thieves Auction would've worked for this if it didn't tap all the permanents and leave me open for a whole turn cycle.I kinda wish there was a permanent scramble-y effect like this that evened them out among players instead of doing it randomly.
>>96482907Oh I meant to say here >>96483026 my vote is High PriestessIt represents intuition, dreams, and the subconscious. I don't know how that would translate to magic. Its element is water, so probably at least blue, but I imagine they'd make it izzet too. Maybe something to do with scrying and naming cards. Maybe rip off some of the miracle casting that Aminatou had? I am a big fan of "cards in your hand have [insert casting mechanic]" like Jhoira and Bohn.Honestly now I'm just thinking of cards I want that give effects to cards in hand like>Cards you cast from your hand have overload. The overload cost is equal to the card's mana value plus (5)You'd maybe put that on something like The Tower since that's the tarot for disaster
>>96483137I understand now, I think what you want is a metacycle of legendaries spread across sets and releases?
>>96483197Ye
>>96482924Yeah I kind of got that feeling as well as some other cards that return things to the bottom of your deck.Also I wasn't really looking for the general pool of cards but rather specific names you want this design for. Like the card is designed to do one specific thing and it does it perfectly fine but I wanted to see if you wanted to enable a particular card or two.

>>96478884He's quite unique and has plenty of different uses.
>>96481440>my initial dosage was incorrect>therefore the entire thing is a fraud!You accuse others of looking for outside solutions to their problems while bemoaning your inability to solve them yourself. Never does the thought occur to you that there are tools you can use to address these problems, but that the tools need to be calibrated.Adderall absolutely does help with ADHD, assuming that it is prescribed by a responsible doctor who follows up on how it's affecting you and works with you to arrive at the correct dosage. Being medicated is a huge part of what allows me to run D&D campaigns, build decks, and engage with my hobbies fully. It focuses my internal monologue INTO a monologue, when it would otherwise just be vague and incoherent noise. I've gone off of it several times due to external factors, and the things that have suffered most have invariably been the things I actually value, rather than just my work.If you decide that a treatment option isn't for you, that's fine. But don't go and stigmatize a perfectly legitimate source of assistance that can make others' lives more fulfilling.
>>96480578I MAKE BOBBLEHEAD!
>>96482305The other day the Gruul combat player got ahead really quickly, but the Meren player had a spore frog out. I was so glad they just agreed on a draw, cause they both realised it'd take a while to play out and be really tedious too.
>>96485660Thats why i have like 4 "damage cant be prevented cards"
