GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS
>>96631107>TQProbably this one with deathbringer liege being a close second.
>>96631107Say something
>>96631209through the omenpaths chads eating good this year
>>96631234how many do you think will be Omenpaths sets? Marvel Heroes obviously but one imagines that Star Trek and TMNT don't have similar hangups. The LOTR crap is already in Arena.
>>96631107nice and simple card, perfectly showcases the sets' mechanic
>>96631218based
>>96631209This is the ultimate cuckening. The fortnitification will continue as long as you keep buying magic. I can cope and skip buying/drafting UB sets, but I will still contribute the killing of the game I like when I play Lorwyn. Everything sucks now.
>>96631234>>96631260i fucking hate omenpaths more than any other thing in magic, even more than raping kamigawa to make it more marketable
My beloved wife.
>>96631107>whats your favorite hybrid mana card?*judges you*
>>96631362Lorwyn is gonna be a tragedy. It will barely look or feel the same save for the Omar Rayyan bait they have set the trap with. I don't know what the fuck pic related is but it sure doesn't look like the grotesque shadowmoor merrow that we used to know.
>>96631107>TQBack in the day, I felt like a king playing this after a turn 1 Borderpost OR after cascading into it with Bloodbraid Elf(that's TWO 3/2 hasters on turn 4!)
>>96631123we... must.... be.... better MEN
>>96631107Yummy tummy
>>96631578What?
>>96631107> WotC's War CrimesYou can add another mastectomy
Interesting thing is that Jaws will be getting a Universes Within version in a future release, unlike the other unique Secret Lairs recently which're just also distributed to WPN stores to make them more available.
>>96631670Trannys man
>>96631681I mean it is just a shark so it shouldn't be too challenging to adapt
Modern has unironically healed
>>96631772True, I just wonder where. Maybe a Commander deck, maybe it'll be on a bonus sheet or a Special Guest, maybe it'll just be part of... I dunno, a return to Ikoria, that has Sharks.
Print it to modern horizon 4 cowards
>>96631818the hobbit will change that>>96631861you mean pioneer horizons 1
>>96631818Modern won't be healed until I can play Jund, Pod and Twin without the entire store laughing at my first game action.
>>96631870this time it will be a standard set so the power level will go down drastically
Is modern unironically the best format right now? When they will port it to Arena?
>>96631983>Is modern unironically the best format right now?if you're a proxyGOD yes>When they will port it to Arena?historic is the modern format for arenaputting actual modern into the client would an admission that digital cards are worthless and they don't want to do that
how can anyone see those secret lairs and willingly keep giving JOTC money
>>96631209Praying Gay Bolas anon eats good in Reality Fracture.
>>96631983Hopefully never, historic is way better>>96632023MTG is a premium product
how does this game manage to keep finding new lowshow is it we haven't hit the floor yet
>>96631983modern sucks dick. the people mindlessly repeating muh deck diversity don't actually play the format. every tier deck consists of A+B I win combo, solitude ephemerate scam, or braindead play what you draw (energy, eldrazi, prowess, affinity, zoo).
>>96632052Wait for the K-POP set.If we can have TMNT set we can literally have ANYTHING as Magic set now.
>>96632066>anythingLike Taimanin Asagi?
>>96631818energy is lame and gay but the rest of the format is alright i guess
>>96632100No, any heterosexual UB is not happening
>>96632119just ban energy in your pod and call it a day
>Go to fnm with the insect deck (fifth time)>Go 1-2>Finally start getting picked on for not netdecking/running a bunch of "inefficient cards"Maybe I should take a break for a few months and hope Lorwyn had good generic tribal support.
>>96632147>Finally start getting picked on for not netdecking/running a bunch of "inefficient cards"It's netdeckers that are killing the game from the mechanical side. Brewing is gradually becoming a lost art, and the meta reflects it.
>>96632181not him but you don't need to brew when pros do it for you
It has never been more over.
Where's Ragavan and bowmasters? Banned?
>>96632147>get picked on for not netdeckingI sincerely doubt this was anything other than people trying to help your jank ass tribal deck that's going 1-2. Not everything is a personal attack.>>96632181People have been netdecking for over 15 years now.
>>96632235They're powercrept out of the format
>>96631488https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=type%3Amerfolk+%28game%3Apaper%29+set%3AshmShadowmoor merfolk didn't have a coherent identity to begin with
>>96632246>People have been netdecking for over 15 years now.Yes, but mixing that with the 5yo power creep singularity means that brewing gets shunted aside in favor of ready-made heartfire resonance or Vivi cauldron combos. It's no coincidence that FIRE killed /ccg/, brewing is just the next step of the decay.
>>96631209I'm pretty happy with this line up.
>>96632261fucking how
Memedern is awful faggots i don’t know how you can bear with this awful slop of a format. Belcher is literally a humanity mistake.
>>96632288Step 1: Print a busted cardStep 2: Let your shills rave about how powerful it is so the paypiggies buy it upStep 3: Let your paypigs dominate the format with it for a while so they can feel like they got their money's worthStep 4: Ban it and make insincere overtures about how you didn't plan for things to play out this way.Rinse and repeat
>>96632288Bowmasters rarely has draw triggers to capitalize on with cards like stock up and consult the star charts and atraxa putting cards in hand. Key creatures have 2+ toughness like guide of souls and solitude. The only way to play bowmasters as removal is to get a lucky ambush block.Ragavan dies to ocelot pride first strike and the ability is so swingy it's difficult to gauge how effective it actually is. Ragavan shows up in zoo, energy, and random decks playing red but really it's trash. 1 toughness, dies to removal.tl;dr bannable in legacy due to brainstorm. unplayable in modern due to no brainstorm.
>>96632288MH3rd Impact and several bans have made the LTR bullshit and the MH2nd Impact irrelevant.
>>96632330Man, I remember just a couple years ago when Ragavan would go win games on his own. It's insane how every year makes yesteryear's nightmares seem quaint in comparison.
Due to Universe Beyond Mark gets to write more articles on the color pie.
>>96632235>>96632261>>96632288>>96632324>>96632330>>96632348is this an elaborate troll? every single boros energy list runs 4x ragavan what are you talking about?
>>96632265I guess we have a different set of eyes.
>>96632387Ragavan's the worst 1 drop in the deck. The best thing it can do is a turn 2 blood moon or be a red permanent for the back side of Ajani. The days of blue red ragavan murktide are long gone.
>>96632383I’m really tempted to write to this motherfucker and ask him how many years for real they pretend to make by 2027. Maybe 12 for the absolute endless spoiler season? Obviously 1 UW set so we they can cramp as many shitty IPs as possible.
>>96632383wait does he even understand the color pie?
>create a land token
>>96631488>>96632265Different anon here but like... that looks like a merfolk from Shadowmoor to me.
Is this card good or shit?
>>96631818not until burn is playable again
>>96632399>Ragavan's the worst 1 drop in the deck.but that's not the point, it's one thing to ask why ragavan isn't the most played creature in the format anymore, it's another to post this >>96632235 assuming it got banned because you don't see it anywhere when in reality it's a staple playset in the most played deck in the format
>>96632436it's good shit
>>96632436>5 manaSHIT
>>96632436Terrible
>>96631488I agree with you but that’s probably the worst example to pick for shitty generic art we’ve seen so far. It looks perfectly fine.
>Watching the pro tour>all modern decks are Modern Horizon slopwhat a disaster of set! so much damage done
Print this to modern too, jeskai control needs some tools
>>96631123as someone that refuses to play commander, partner confuses the fuck out of me. because it's one straightforward mechanic allegedly but there's three entirely different versions of it>partner (lets you have two commanders, ok)>partner - keyword (basically the same thing but needlessly restrictive for flavor reasons I fucking guess)>partner with (just lets you add another specific creature from your library to your hand when it enters the battlefield????)
>>96632547Welcome to the year 2019+6
>>96632547you better like it because this is the future of pioneer in like 2 yearsthen they'll make pioneer 2 and rugpull a bunch of people again
>bit the bullet and got a Yuna for my Modern enchantress brewI don't play nearly enough to be depressed about the absolute state of the format and better decks can't stop me from having fun. You WILL get paired against my pile of removal at the weekly and we WILL go to turns.
>>96631209Why should we suffer a worse year than this one that was already pretty good?Why seven sets?Why Nickelodeon collab?Why Star Trek?Why, just why?
>>96632562partner-keyword is just secret lairshit that just means (can be paired with other cards from this product). Same shit for stranger things and the TLOU one having their own unique keyword that lets you any combination of two cards from that batchpartner with lets you actually benefit from running them inside the 99 of a deck because they tutor for each other
>>96632593Let my format alone. We don’t need the Modern shit lobotomy special.
>>96631209if most of the ubshit was just precons I'd be fine with this but we might unironically be getting a third "things from contemporary america as magic cards" set within the next nine monthsStar Trek looks like another full franchise dump that I imagine wotc is full of diehards for so I mostly just hope Ryker and Data are decent cards
>>96632562The reason they make restrictive versions of Partner is because Partner is basically 'too good' to print unrestricted these days. Even one new card with Partner suddenly has to account for EVERY other card with Partner and they just don't wanna deal with that.
>>96632626Star Trek is apparently covering the whole franchise but I highly doubt they'll give equal looks at everything. Probably every major series will get some substantial stuff, I dunno if the reboot films will get anything, but the bulk will likely be TOS/TNG/DS9.
>>96632436>doesn't have convoke>lets you tap all your creatures for one guy and immediately eats it before you can flip
