Wait guys. Bros. Here me out. I know how to save the format. Bring back tuck effects for commanders.

>Hinder
>Hallowed Burial

It will help revitalized the format by not having so many decks be centered and reliant on their commander, which is a good thing.

UB is at its best when it's a setting that doesn't fit mtg's aesthetic.

What's the point of wanting more sets that are LOTR-lite when mtg planes are already LOTR-lite? Shouldn't UB planes feel distinct? Shouldn't all planes feel distinct?

Then again mtg's aesthetic is cowboys piloting racecars and spaceships now so maybe LOTR doesn't fit the mtg aesthetic at this point.

I mean you're not wrong. He cut his teeth on 60 card formats, we used to play modern back when people actually played paper modern at our lgs.

hopefully not. MDFCs were a mistake.

>>96505976

>>96505944
Standard still lives, in arena. Legacy is fucked forever because the stupid reserve list policy, despite being the best constructed format. Modern is fucked due to constant power creep in every set. EDH is now the best eternal format.

>>96505992
arena is not MtG, doesn't matter how you spin it.

>>96505992
Honestly mh3 did more to fuck legacy than the RL ever did

>>96505991
If standard and modern weren't turbo aids and enough people for a tournament actually showed up I'd be playing them. Our LGS stopped hosting modern after months of 3-7 people showing up.

So here we are, competitive players get to play "cedh"

nta, but Arena has a sketchy-ass shuffler, along with a hidden ELO system, and card weighing to affect match-making.
As someone who appreciates the presentation of MTG:A, I can understand not liking it, and rejecting it on a conceptual level. Also, despite the automation of the client, the concept of a token cap is mad gay
also also, the limited card pool really pisses me off.

The shuffled thing is a myth btw, it had issues at launch but the guy who exposed those issues with a large scale study later came out and said they fixed it and that draws are within statistical expectation now.

>>96506086
ok
>numerous bugs for how cards interact
>doesn't have all the cards
still not trve magic

>>96506058
The token cap is the only thing on that list I'll defend. Since it's almost certainly a programming limitation. They almost certainly could fix it, but it's likely more trouble than it's worth
Alchemy is an abomination though and will literally never cease to piss me off. It should've been a format that they dump test cards into to see how they interact and can be tweaked on the fly before going to print. But instead of utilizing the digital nature for the overall betterment of the game, the used it to make a parasitic format that's unplayable outside of arena and will cease to exist when the servers go down.

>>96506093
I think most bugs are rather minor issues but yeah the card selection sucks.
Can't believe they just skipped Innistrad Remastered, that set has so many awesome cards.

The fact that it had "issues" at launch is still a black mark against them. Could they be unintentional? Definitely. But I just flat out wouldn't trust a company like Hasbro to have a system like that be an accident. The only reason it's gone is cause they got called out for it.

It is very frustrating the build because the card is so fun there are so many different ways to build it.

>>96505677
I am working on a build that focuses on the golem support and making 1/1 creatures support but oddly enough when I look at what other decks do most people seem to ignore that. Lot of other decks go with food support. It's tough trying to mix that idea with golems but boy I am trying.

>>96506109
Brawl's another format that will die immediately upon arena's death. Or rather, go back to being dead, since there was a bit of time where it WAS dead before they reanimated that cadaver to have a commander-like in arena.
It will never not be funny that wizards durdled so fucking hard with Arena's development and rollout, that they accidentally managed to fully kill standard in that time.
>>96506111
Unironically scryfall should just default to not having those show up in search results.

This guy feels like he'd be decently easy to make a list from. Good amount of enter the battle creatures and some sacrifice outlets to enable doubling up on things. Then some of the good splicers to buff the golems. What about the deck usually trips you up? I remember considering him a while back as well but just never got around to it.

I'll be honest, I never really minded Universes Beyond cards or their art, usually anyway, but seeing all this Omen Path Universes Within versions kind of makes me wish we had those as options in paper too. Especially for things like Doctor Who and this set. That these all visit various planes for their inspiration is great and feels like it would have made a good "around the magic universes" set where they just go around all the planes for a couple of cards. The theming of making some of the villains arena pit fighters is cool way to work around some of the limitations.

There's a few cards that are in what looks to be Capenna and even a few with the boxing fight club theme, but they didn't really fully commit to making it a full in set theme like they should have. It would have been an clean way to make both heroes and villains all work by being wrestlers for entertainment and money in Capenna. I guess there hasn't been many spiders in Capenna so they didn't commit to the bit?

JUST A REMINDER: the reason wotc has started to put robots, aliens, race cars, and whatever else into magic lore has one sole reason and it isn't because the designers think the aesthetic should evolve. the reason for it is that one of the main complaints about universes beyond from the very beginning was "this property does not fit with magic's aesthetic". 40K was accepted because it mostly fit the aesthetic/vibe. lord of the rings was accepted because it fit the aesthetic/vibe. final fantasy was accepted because it fit the aesthetic/vibe. spongebob, stranger things, street fighter, walking dead, etc. were all complained about because the were major breaks in the aesthetic. by branching out what the magic IP's aesthetic is with universes within, the wider array of outside IPs that can be used for universes beyond can be used with minimal complaint from the consumer base. oh, you are going to complain about spock or captain kirk on a card or the enterprise as a vehicle? but it already fits the aesthetic! look, we have edge of eternities to show you that sstar trek DOES fit the aesthetics of mtg!

except it was. there were still people who complained about it, for sure. but the overwhelming response for 40K, the first full set/product (as in no a secret lair or alt art treatment like godzilla), was that it could have been much worse and at least they did it with something that has a semi-similar aesthetic and is probably something that a lot of players are already into (seeing as a lot of tcg players are also tabletop gamers as well). sure, it is more sci-fi than magic had really been at that point, but they were already starting to push the boundaries with neon dynasty cyberpunk aesthetics (probably also testing the waters there because they already had an idea from market research surveys about how players feel about UB aesthetics clashing with UW aesthetics and wanted to test with NEO to see how players would respond to a shift in magic's aesthetics that allow for a broader range of IPs that won't clash with that aesthetic).

it's capeshit and that is what i care about. they should have given me some shit from the incal or some other work of moebius'. i don't want to see spiderman or zombie spiderman or whatever the fuck. and i want more than one card and i don't want that card to be goddamn ponder.

I can only assume its because they are afraid of WOTC. There is a real of no proxies in sanctioned events, so if it was a paid commander night they might be afraid of getting in trouble.

>>96507255
>It clashes severely on an aesthetic front
demons and mechanical horrors don't really clash with magic's aesthetics. again, nowhere near the level that downtown modern manhattan does. is 40K the exact aesthetic of magic? no. is it close enough in line that it does not offend the sensibilities of people? for sure. the set's reaver titans and dreadnoughts also didn't look out of place when it released a month before brothers war with all of its mechanical monstrosities everywhere.
>that fucking frame is an atrocity.
i like UB frames more than the regular frame.

>>96507507
>demons
>mechanical horror
>leaves out literally everything else
You cant pick and choose, its all a package deal.
The closest thing mtg has to 40k is the brother war and that was an apocalyptic event, not standard fare.
People bought the 40k set because it was 40k themed not because it worked well with mtg
Also the power level was more usable than other ub sets.

Just give me actual warhammer fantasy already. The aesthetic fits and we would get a lot of tribal support to dwarfs, elves, rats, and various undead factions. There's more than enough to easily make a full set, unlike spiderman which clearly struggled to fill out its extra slots.

https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/08-09-25-yeva/?cb=1757342166

I made this yeva deck using EDH rec, cards I remember from back in the day, and also other tappedout lists.

It was originally weaker. I was aiming for around 50-60 USD but it comes out to over 100 which is still alright I suppose. Here are some questions I have
>I have lots of ramp spells and mana elves. Are they redundant or do I need even more?
>do I need more card draw?
>are my finishers (overrun effects) sufficient? I added Garruk for and extra overrun
>is bow of nylea enough recursion?
>What are my high-priority tutor targets with fauna shaman, woodland bellower and Mwonvuli beast tracker?
>Do I need more artifact and enchantment hate?
>How do I protect from/mitigate/play around wrath effects?

I'm proxxying the sol ring cause it's ridiculous how impossible they are to get when you can own one copy and resleeve it every time you play a different deck. I don't even own a copy, just a rules card with a neon green sticky note on it. even after dozens of reprints people buy a new copy for each of their 15 decks. Meanwhile 14 of them are sitting in the deck box doing nothing at any given time. You can only play 1 deck at a time!!!

I have also chosen to not put in seedborn muse. It's expensive and seems too strong, almost unfun for everyone else. I'm afraid of the deck being too strong since Yeva is really strong and versatile. But I also fear that the one-dimensional strategy of mono green stomp can get kneecapped by designed-for-commander fuckery cards and control.

>>96507553

Armored humans/knights, genetically modified warriors, huge war machines, demons, and mechanical horror, then. Still works great since we have Phyrexia and Mirrodin.

Somebody once told me that nobody ITT actually talks about the game. I thought they were just joking or being hyperbolice but I'm starting to see that's the case. This might be the worst AND fastest moving thread on /tg/ next to the 40k general

anyway do you guys have any favorite pieces of basic land art?

>>96507553
>leaves out literally everything else
oh, like tyranids? because magic doesn't have beasts and bug monsters either, right? space marines? they look like big armoured dudes, which magic has. the biggest departures to the aesthetic that 40K had were guns and spaceships.
>People bought the 40k set because it was 40k themed not because it worked well with mtg
you misunderstand the argument. it isn't that people bought it *because* it fit aesthetically, it is that enfranchised players were not as repulsed by an outside IP as they were things like jurassic park and spongebob. 40k, lotr, and FF were more well received by naysayers than stranger things, walking dead, transformers, etc. because the aesthetic departure of the former listed IPs is a lot less than the departure of the latter listed IPs. if you are denying that there has not been a very vocal point made over the years about what outside IP makes a good 'fit' for mtg (usually some form of sword & sorcery type thing or some IP that spun out off a riff on D&D), you are just telling me that you aren't very in tune with what anyone is saying. the point has been made ad nauseum that something like 40K is a better fit for mtg than something like spiderman.
>The closest thing mtg has to 40k is the brother war and that was an apocalyptic event, not standard fare.
brothers war released a month after the 40K decks, making it seem a lot less out of place. plus, all the individual elements described can be found spread across many planes, but the main plane (dominaria) has enough 40K parallels to make the aesthetic not seem out of place. but then factor in shit from innistrad and kaladesh and anything to do with the eldrazi and you get enough to make up the difference.

>>96507611
what is, in your mind, the most iconic thing about the setting?
>space marines
genetically modified warriors are in mtg and ravnican giants are about the size/build of a space marine.

I feel like the thing with this commander is you want to be able to hold up mana to run creatures that interact when they enter or are cast when it's convenient. Also what are you using cards like ghalta for besides being big? How are you leveraging the unique thing your commander does to build a deck that's gonna feel new and fresh for you?

the bolter is not more iconic than the space marine itself. a specific gun is not the most iconic thing.
>They see a a dude with a gun, its a sci-fi set.
guns have existed in magic before AND i mentioned that guns and being in space were the only real big departures of the aesthetics. YES it is sci-fi, NO it is not entirely incompatible. magic also has a bunch of sci-fi elements like cyborgs, automatons, genetic alterations, and more. the whole point is not that 40K is exactly the same as mtg, the point is that 40K is close enough that it was far less offensive of a departure than many crossovers. the point is that mtg is expanding the IPs aesthetic sensibilities in an attempt to curb UB naysayers who do so under the banner of "it ruins the aesthetic sensibilities of the game".
you're such an autistic pedant that you literally can't understand what is being said.
>i wouldnt put it next to lotr or ff.
FF is also scifi and has guns/gun swords. mtg is actually closer to 40K than lotr.

>>96506842

Literally NO UB lore belongs in magic. Nothing fits. FF didnt fit, Dr Who doesn't fit, 40k doesnt fit, lotr doesnt fit nothing fits because we all KNOW these are separate IPs and separate lore. We just lied to ourselves but deep down everyone knows nothing but magic (despite your opinions on its lore and aesthetics) fit in magic. Everything else is a stretch from the get go.

>>96507831
>slapping a different coat of makeup on something and calling it something else IS trannyism.
So every land in the game especially snow lands are trannies?

>>96507839
Depends on the wording of the effect. Some will put them into exile instead, in that case they never hit the graveyard. Others will say when a card is put into your graveyard do..... those will trigger him.

>>96507775
>except when I turn a blind eye to every thing scifi in the setting and focus entirely on the fantasy aspects
i never claimed it wasn't sci fi. i even brought up "guns and spaceships" specifically as the biggest departures to magic's aesthetics. and i am not obfuscating the point because i stated it very clearly multiple times that despite the differences to magic's aesthetics, 40K was less offensive to enfranchised players than some of the other UB products that have come out. i never claimed that it was a PERFECT 1:1 fit, just that they are close enough that there were less complaints than if the first UB commander deck had been something like the simpsons.
>The 40k cards stick out like such a sore thumb in any decklist i assumed there was something
you are remembering your initial reaction to a new frame more than anything. when 40K came out, they were the only UB cards with the frame, which made them stick out. you remember that and the memory alters your perception despite the frame being the same other UB products.

Using Black Market Connections as a giga ramp spell. Personally I like Will more since lifegain is really well supported and it's easy to dump giant white and blue creatures onto the board or convert an untapped Will into a massive X spell. Both Rowan and Will are peak commander designs though.

Nope. You have a man (spider man set) who is throwing on makeup (UW alchemy art) while not changing anything abiit the essence, and pretending pretending not UW.

Anyone is welcome to actual argue against the logic here but I dont see it happening.

>>96508610
Okay, Mr. Shitposter. I know you're trying to start something but I'll ask you this (given you're trying to put the onus on us and not on you to explain your own stance)
How is it the same thing? How is a fictional piece of cardboard that is UW that is functionally identical to a UB card somehow related to men with mental illnesses in real life? This is seriously on the same level as saying Snow Swamps are the tranny version of Swamps because they are pretty much identical but there's some kind of dumb change.

>>96508620
The UW skin does objectively fix two of the problems with the set.
1: Having 30+ named variants of Spiderman is confusing. Having a bunch of literally whos from random existing Magic planes is a lot easier to differentiate
2: Cards with UW art/name are much easier for WotC to eventually reprint.
That being said there are still several other problems with the set.

>>96508620
what if my argument is just "this is a false analogy"
>You have a man
this is not a man
that's just it, it's not a person, it's not makeup, it's not a mental illne- ok maybe arena is a little bit of a mental illness
regardless, you don't have any logic, you have a mental knot

personally I agree with >>96508644's points. it isn't a good set of cards. making them a whole reskinned set on arena is dumb and confusing. saying "this is just like trains" is dumb on the face of it and undermines any point you could possibly have, to the point where I'm starting to think you're false-flagging.

Very clever. Come back when you understand accidents and essence

I'd probably enjoy a Genshin Impact set but I still acknowledge it would probably be shit.

All the cards are drawn by the artists who made the Miku cards.

I've tried WUBRG BG tribal and it's funny but keep in mind that it's kind of a voltron strat so you're at risk of getting hated out somewhat easy. It's a fun digital brew but I don't know if I would commit to it in paper ever.

As someone who only cares about the words on the cards, not the art, lore, or characters, it's just ok. There are some cards I like and will probably use. I'm happy though that Arena has UW versions of the cards, so I'll probably be proxing those, save for this cool gal here, her UW actually looks ass enough for me to care.

Go outside, I promise the trannies can't get you there but you will have to shower first if you don't want to catch a public indecency charge
>>96508195
I live in a densely populated liberal area, there's like a dozen trannies that frequent my lgs and nobody cares because they just play the game (unlike you)
>>96508286
That wasn't me btw and you mentioned trannies first, weakly defended your position by saying "it's trannies because it's trannies" more or less and then called me stupid when I made fun of you again, probably because your IQ is low

>>96509024

I guess it at least it's a fantasy setting with a large cast of characters and elemental-focused magic. Kinda on par with Avatar in terms of how easy it would be to adapt to MTG.

Hu Tao, Funeral Parlor Director - 4RB

Legendary Creature - Human

First Strike, Menace
Pay X life: Hu Tao gains +X/+0 until end of turn.
If Hu Tao was blocked by two or more creatures this turn, you gain half of the life spent to activate her ability (rounded up).

So Arena is officially part of this general now, right? Good to know.
Still haven't pulled this off in paper. Too hard against 3 opponents and it's very obvious what you want to do

hey so like is there any way in gruul to stop farwell? I'm even looking at color hate stuff, and I'm coming up short.
I'm playing an elf deck and boy did I get btfo'd, there's not a single card in my deck that can do anything about it.

Other than picrel, not really. Farewell is notorious for being something most decks will fall apart to. Just accept that yours is one of them. If you're in Gruul and board wipes are a problem, keep cards in hand and focus on protecting your draw engines so you have ways to redeploy faster than your opponents after a wipe.

I like it a lot. I guess that makes sense right? A failed painter has a lot in common with a bunch of mildly talented dorks from the 90s.

>>96507038
>The activated ability is a meme unless you have enough Deathtouch/high power creatures to take advantage.
Well the point would be to force all creatures to block a 1/1 token so that everything else is unblocked. Screw death touch. If I activate that ability its because I want my stuff to all be unblockable

Those are the worst anti boardwipe colors in general, best you can do is probably get as much value as you can before it resolves with cards like greater good, maybe phase out creatures with talon gates

>>96509347
Yeah I was thinking that too, his paintings look strikingly similar to the really old Magic illustrations.

>>96509225
Probably would need to add an "as a sorcery" or "at the beginning of combat" clause to the Hatred effect. The second effect could just be "when Hu Tao is blocked, you gain half the life you lost this turn"

>>96509272
can you sac your board and pull everything back from gy? can you shuffle gy into deck and at least have important pieces still accessible? can you pull off something bizarre like 10 clones of Riftsweeper?

>>96509310
ye olde opinion of hitler's artwork is "he's technically talented but the works themselves are lifeless"

>>96509349
if you can win with Master Warcraft you can run both it and him. if you can win with Hellrider/Severina Raine, run all of them. He happens to do both.

We talk about the game constantly
It's just not always strategy because, spoiler alert, this format is massively flawed. Combo is king. If you want to win you play combo. If you want to have fun, people ask why you aren't playing combo. There just isn't that much else to discuss.

now my favorite basics are from invasion, great set, phenomenal basics. John Avon fucking loves spruce trees.

Nta but basically the longer you look at each of them the more off they start to feel imo. You'll start to notice little inconsistencies or things that just don't make sense. When you zoom out his compositions seem fine and often even palatable, but when you look closer at the details you can see where he struggled with the little details and flourishes like perspective and depth of field. I think that's where the uncanny/"soulless"/ "lifeless" common critique comes from, which is somewhat poetic considering the soulless and brutal political ideology he'd go on to pioneer. fascism/communism often gets shackled to brutalist architecture as representative of their plague on the human spirit, but I think Hitler's artistic expression is also fairly representative of the socialist disease
>But seriously can wotc please bring back this style, I'd stop bitching about UB, I promise.
I too am a little sick it the overly-rendered era of art and it sucks because it's here to say because it screams "production value" you can show to shareholders in ways that more traditional art does not.

>>96509443
Get wrecked

>>96509404
I just pasted it over a basic in paint. If you want to seriously make basics for MPC or something, it's usually better to just take a card from MPCfill itself and past the art you want into it since that way you have high resolution and proper formatting.
Otherwise I use MSE. MSE has nice templates for fancy basics.

It is 90% no games fags whining about having to see the wrong Scrimblo Brimblo on card art.

Also: As I said

>>96509496
This criticism is just pedantic midwittery refined through a thousand reddit posts.
Perspective is difficult and takes a long time to get down right even today with access to infinite art resources from the internet, Hitler was some kid barely scraping by on the streets of vienna, self-teaching art with essentially no resources and later in life he would obviously become too occupied with other activities to refine his craft.
To look at what is essentially an amateur hobbyist's creations and infer something about their character because their art is flawed is retarded, people say those things because they're already in line with what they think of the man anyway and most people aren't gonna bother contradicting them.

>>96509520
It's not made up dude everyone wants everything to look shiny and sleek because it's easy to explain to crusty old investors why it's worth however much money they're giving you, it's just like why AAA is obsessed with graphical fidelity.
