>While 20th-century experimental culture was seized by a recombinatorial delirium, which made it feel as if newness was infinitely available, the 21st century is oppressed by a crushing sense of finitude and exhaustion. It doesn’t feel like the future. Or, alternatively, it doesn’t feel as if the 21st century has started yet. We remain trapped in the 20th century.>The slow cancellation of the future has been accompanied by a deflation of expectations. There can be few who believe that in the coming year a record as great as, say, the Stooges’ ‘Funhouse’ or Sly Stone’s ‘There’s a Riot Goin’ On’ will be released. Still less do we expect the kind of ruptures brought about by The Beatles or disco. The feeling of belatedness, of living after the gold rush, is as omnipresent as it is disavowed.>Compare the fallow terrain of the current moment with the fecundity of previous periods and you will quickly be accused of ‘nostalgia’. But the reliance of current artists on styles that were established long ago suggests that the current moment is in the grip of a formal nostalgia.
>>96794676>Or, alternatively, it doesn’t feel as if the 21st century has started yet. We remain trapped in the 20th century.Laying the 20th century to rest will be the ultimate triumph of the 21st century.
>>96794599>How are you feeling?i just don't give a shit anymore
>>96794599>How are you feeling?Bought new dancing shoes in preparation for the party I'll be hosting on this game's fucking grave.
>>96794599>TQ>How are you feelingI'm tired of it all
>>96794599>How are you feelingAll hope vanished, now I’m here to see this shit crash and burn and 2026 will be the year.
>>96795021>Laying the 20th century to rest will be the ultimate triumph of the 21st century.he says, playing a game created in the 20th century with 20th century sensibilities and design.
>>96795419>he says, playing a game created in the 20th century with 20th century sensibilities and design.I do not play MTG anymore, I am only here to laugh at how quickly its corpse is sinking into the swamp.
>>96794599>TQI feel numbany hope in me for Magic to improve has banished>alternative answerI'm cautiously optimistic about the game I've submitted to a local game design conteststill, I'll need to wait until December to see if I move to the next phase and I can send the actual prototypeso a mixed bag of feelings
>TQgreat, yesterday on MTGO I sold 300 tix worth of cards I will be cashing out because I wasn't really using themI still have a lot of decks ready to play in multiple formats, I'm just keeping what I actually want to play
>>96794599>TQLike the horse
What's a good video (or serie) about the history of MTG sets, going at least back to Invasion? I don't care about lore, more about mechanisms introduced, what the meta looked like, a feel of how it was to play MTG at that time.
>>96795559>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVrpJEbEccvLWV3CTuV-ypGHQI96BVX7Rthat's the first thing that came to my mindI don't know if it's good or not... but still
>>96794599Magic is dead, now we just sit and wait.
Over the weekend I downsized a bunch of my collection. I have long-since sold my expensive cards, now I am just disposing of bulk. I dropped off a bunch of cards at the receiving-doors of the thrift store and walked away.From now on I am a digital-only Brawl and Draft player.

>>96795583I know people get stuck in the sunk-cost fallacy with a lot of collectibles and "investments" and shit but there's a pure catharsis that comes from just dumping a box of shit at a goodwill and being done with it.>>96795598do you think it ever occurred to him that he's comparing magic to the textbook definition of worthless, overproduced corporate slop
>>96795574I had already glanced at it, and it's...eh. It showcases only one card and it's associated mechanisms, and don't really talk about how the game felt at that time.
>watch profs video>usually don't mind the troon because I fap to futa and traps despite being a heterosexual>his picture jumps up, get "ewww" reaction without realising why>notice the crop top>notice the straight line of public hairWhat the fuck. Too fucking far man
>>96795559Check out the Resleevables on YouTube. Hour and a half plus deep dives into each expansion released in chronological order. I don’t know how far they’ve gotten so far but most of the 90’s is covered now. It’s hosted by the goat coverage team (Patrick Chapin ends up replacing Cedric at some point cause he took a job at wizards or something)

>>96796163I don't believe you.
>>96796163I will never not find it hilarious how MBT went on there after he got the Magic itch back, only for him to immediately drop the game again after being the only person at the table trying to play the game instead of attempt pointless table politics.
why doesn't wotc raise the prices of every product? scalpers gonna scalp anyway and sells are all that matter
>>96796454chinese hands typed this
Rat Demon Guide2BBCreature - Rat DemonWhen this creature enters the battlefield, each opponent discards a card, and you lose that much life.Exile this card from your hand: Add B and you lose 2 life1/1
>>96796454They did. They marked up UB by 50% to exploit tourists and scalpers.
>>96796107Bolas?
>>96795849imagine being a closeted homosexual in fucking 2026 the year of 4 ub sets
>>96795598as someone who used to be an avid maccas consoomer and always ordered a double bacon burger with orange juice, i can assure you i am not pleased with the changes the franchise has implemented since the turn of the centurykiosk totems was the straw that broke the camels back. i love the idea of not having to interact with the 59 iq moron mono red player ur 18 employee at the counter but what's the point when i WILL have to interact with the fucker by bringing in the totem receipt to xyr in order to actually order shit?and it's not like it made anything faster since idiots can just take forever to order and these are less dumbasses at the counter now
>>96796454thisi ain't going to buy any product anymore anyway so they might as well just run hype with bots on social media and raise pricesi just want to laugh at the absolute state of this ecosystem
>>96796500no, like actually make it expensive. they could have easily doubled their profit
>>96794599TQ:>the crowd had gathered there to watch him fall, to watch their hopes destroyed
>>96794599>TQHonestly weirdly hopeful because Lorwyn will be NEO 2.0 and TMNT and likely ST will sell like shit and be universally despised
whats with this namefag? why isn't everyone telling him to kill himself? kys btw
>>96796601>mono redSorry I meant green
>>96796728Monkey paw curls. Marvel Superheroes is the bestselling set of all-time and rotates all formats.
why is the blue achievement avatar in arena kaito instead of jace
>>96796808They made Kaito the blue PW for foundations for some reason which arena is now pushing as the defaults
>>96795598>Fast food analogy Slopeaters never beating the allegations
Let's celebrate with a picture.
I'm just gonna keep saying itBANAMULETOF VIGORBAN IT
Premodern bros. Will this work? I wanted something in the line of Miracle grow for premodern. But with no tropical islands you can't get the best use out of land grant so I have to run more lands. Since I don't want to run any diamonds, I decided to put some spirit guides to help ramp out dryads and winter orbs. And then putting Reef Shamans (hence the deck name: Reefer Farm) in I can turn one of my lands into a forest if I need a free cast submerge while having a way to fuck with my opponent's mana or turn off manlands on their upkeep, or get island walk off when I have lord in play.
>>96796769I blame UBtourists. majority are not telling them to kys either
i need my atla spoilersthe pigs go hungry mlord
>>96796751So they're LITERALLY just normal foils now? What the fuck? Who would even want that? It was bad enough when they swapped alternate art for a shitty year number.
How dead is your lgs?
>>96797049where are the mill players when we need them
>>96797383bankrupt
>>96797383FNMs stopped firing like five months ago. Shit is fucking over. But I'm sure the game is doing fine, maybe there's a Magic boom in Nebraska.
>>96794599>How are you feeling?sold everything. limited only for me going forward since every format rotates every other month due to commanderfication.
>>96797383>modern nightsame 10ish people every week for probably close to a decade now>fnm draftalmost always full even spiderman which is super unpopular still gets about 15 or so people every week>standard nightdont play dont know>commander nightdont play anymore but i hear its usually still full
>>96794599>How are you feeling?Pretty good. I'm mostly playing mtgo casual rooms. Trying to tune up a mind crank combo deck and a war elemental deck
>>96797383pretty alive. the owner has been around for over 20 years. mtg doesnt earn him money so he's been rocking the following strategy for over 10 years with a good track record:>order as many pre-release kits as he can get>order a case of current set draft/play booster box>hold as many pre-release events as possible over the entire weekend>hold draft of current set every single fnm with more boosters as prices>sell zero mtg products outside of pre-release and draft spotsmodern, standard, pioneer, pauper and legacy are dead in my area.
>>96795580Fractured anus will save the game by introducing a new formatI can't say more
>>96794599> TQGood man. Pauper's in a good spot with plenty of different decks, each with its own weaknesses. A bit scared of UB shit creeping in though.
>>96795443>babby form of nihilismGit gud and embrace the future and the past bro. Nothing matters, so you can create your own meaning however you like.
>>96795583>arenaA fate worse than death
>>96797480fractured anis has already been confirmed to be another Planar Chaos set.
>>96795966I really wish they had elaborated more on the nature of the evil spirits like Koh. Though to be fair, it's only Aang that had any way of learning about or interacting with them, and he had plenty on his plate already.
>>96794599>TQalright i went 3-0 in modern last week with burn somehow so that was nice
>>96795598Who's a fan of fast food? There's no depth there, I suppose you could be obsessed with some of the old aesthetics like Ronald McDonald but those are long gone. Plus happy meal crossovers were part and parcel of that franchise. Nobody out there is mad that the hamburgerler is holding a beanie baby. Nobody got mad when they tried to hop on the keto thing either.All this analogy does is show that mtg has become the fast food of dining instead of a high quality product.
>>96797545it really is an incredible self-own
>>96797018Buy a fucking ad
>>96797426>Nebraskaas if this place even exist
Illulia of Nighthearth card in nuLorwyn
>>96797018shit creator, AI text/voice. fuck thiis guy
>>96797383Doing well. They're overpriced as shit too so I don't know why
>>96797635what isn't ai slop nowadays?probably most of the anons here are bots
>>96797506I don't. Avatar touched on the worldbuilding that mattered to its story, and left some things mysterious and unexplained.And that's good.I am fucking TIRED of everything getting lore overexplaied, I am tired of Wiki Autists describing everything in painstaking detail on fandom. I am tired of people acting like august derleth style "worldbuilding" improved lovecraft's mythos. That's the kind of shit you get when you overdetail everything.Don't gild the lily.
>>96797742>wat ist de sloooopName 3 that are
Yo sealed sucksEvery limited event should be draft
>>96797748Eh, there's a balance I think. You're right that overexplaining everything rips away uncertainty and denies speculation and interpretation, but we could have had more exposure to evil spirits in general, as mysterious background characters that occasionally rise to the foreground.
>>96797742I'm not a bot!
>>96797411>b-but then i'd have to brew my own deck!
>>96797815Yes. Elaborating on their nature beyond "they're spirits and are bad, and they may seem more powerful, but that's because they are being more direct with how they use their power" would be a bad move though.
>>96797486
>>96797815>>96797857Yeah, it's not something that needs exhaustive explanation. Spirits in Avatar basically function like fey. They're alien in their logic and have some serious magical powers, but as long as you're polite and follow some arbitrary rules, they're limited in what they can do. Legend of Korra is evidence of how easy that was to ruin by giving spirits too much exposure, where they just ended up as generic shadow monsters or furries.
>>96796404who?
>>96798041A YGO player most well-known for the time he forgot to turn off OBS so his stream kept running, and in the background you could hear him making lame YGO jokes while having sex with his girlfriend.
>>96798059Holy shit that's based
>>96798059>having sex with his girlfriendholy shit that's cringe
>>96798041a yugioh player who used to play magic long ago, hence his screen name MBT being short for monoblue tron.
>>96798124>2018 was "long ago"
>>96796601>what's the point when i WILL have to interact with the fucker by bringing in the totem receipt to xyr in order to actually order shitDoes your mommy not trust you with her card? Stop being poor.

Any good mtg youtubers who aren't obnoxious leftists?
>>96798665desolator?oh, sorry... you said "good"
Jesus christ the proffesor vids at this point are so depressing its not even funny, UB really broke him
>>96796163Is this satire
>>96798665Rosemi Lovelock
>>96798731>Is this satireIt (they/them) is not.
>>96798731So is tabletop just overrun with these types now? Even my new group from work is super leftist to the point I dont think these people do anything other than mtg and obssess about trump
>>96798731I gotta be real, I do kind of respect Spice8Rack. That's the type of guy who would've been a kooky itinerant quaker back in the 1800s. I feel like there's at least some sort of true personality behind that "influencer" brand that just isn't there with the others.Still just as much of a midwit as Rhystic Studies, though.
>>96798776>nowAbout a decade ago at my LGS, we had a guy playing a custom Trump card as his commander for walls tribal. Nobody particularly cared, but I knew from experience about half the guys in there were some flavor of communist. My GM for the VTM campaign I've been in for 5 years is a marxist in his 40s. One of the funniest people I ever played against was a Haitian guy who was basically Black Hitler.I played a match of strixhaven draft against a jew named Christian.Takes all kinds.
>>96796163>i did no uploaded it because i kill gigga- nigga too soon>it was almost 30 mins into the gamethats not too soonSTOP ENCOURAGING COMMANDER BABIES TO PLAY LIKE ITS SOME FUN FOR ALL SLIDES AND LADDERS

>>96798496And then we got Snapcaster right after
>>96796163So you actually got me to watch that shit and>allows them to go first and mulligan as many times as they want because of "systematic oppression towards POC throughout history"I must've missed that, all I heard was prof say "you can take a free mulligan" which is true, that is a part of the rules of commander.>skips first draw step due to his privilegeI can clearly count 8 cards on prof's hand in his first turn which obviously indicates that he did drew a card on his first draw step. The motion of picking the card up simply did not make it into the video, that's all there was to it.
>>96798856That's literally what Garfield intended the game to be though.
>>96798957then we shoulda stay instead of letting Nosewater run it to the ground
>>96795849>usually don't mind the troon because I fap to futa and traps despite being a heterosexualJust got here, this is still the only thing I'm thinking about after reading through every post in this thread.
>>96798665Citanul Chronicler
>>96797383I live in Nebraska and it's a paradise. Every format fires off, but no one netdecks. You can bring your jank brew to Magic Nights (we don't just have FNM over here) and have a good shot at winning. Even our pre-modern scene is hot. Don't want to play UB or MH? We have what we call Pure formats where only non-UB cards that passed through Standard are legal. It's amazing. Everyone should come move to Nebraska!
>>96797383its slowly turning into a deli/cafe, there is more random old ladies coming in for sandwiches than nerds buying cards
