God, I really hope the ATLA set is spiderman tier.
New Schizo Theory about Amonkhet.Amonkhet was just based on Egypt but also America during the slavery period. Samut is based on Harriet Tubman and Moses since Harriet was also known as Moses.This ties into the Exodus theme the block had. Samut being super fast is a reference to Harriet's speed as an underground railroad conductor.
>>96810778The afterlife was a nickname for Canada. Once Harriet Tubman escaped she wanted to return to the south save her enslaved family.

>>96810793Nah UB should just fuck off at this point, the meme sets should have stayed in the mem format commander.
Have dragonshields tanked in quality recently or something? I got these for a double sleeved deck and after maybe 15 games they're already creased, split, etc on both top corners. Thankfully this is a casual slop format deck so the cards being marked isn't a huge deal, but it's still frustrating.I have a old tron and boros burn modern deck, both double sleeved in dragonshields, that are still totally fine. 5+ years on both. They're scuffed/scratched as you'd expect from years of use but no bent/split corners.
>>96811096Even the people defending it can’t defend it properly. No one wants that shit. Who the fuck asked for teen age mutant ninja turtles. Spider slop has not sold well at my lGS.
>>96810626>TQ

>>96811333Do you have anything else to say other than "erm, no you"
>>96811354Doesn't really merit more than that. It's reading everything as American politics, no less delusional than trannies insistently reading everything as a transitioning allegory.

>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.
>one more week before ATLA gets fully spoiled
>>96812181Jeez anon you're such a nitpicker, also we're going to errata like a hundred Hounds to Dogs because people love those pupperinos so much and it was just so important that they said the right word on that type line
>>96812239They introduced Bison which is literally a type of Ox.
>>96812252it should a *flying* bison btw bisons don't have 6 legs or paddle-shaped tails
>>96812270Dogs also don't have 14 limbs and antennas.
>>96812252That's because UB shit is parasitic and warps the game to suit its needs rather than the property being slightly modified to fit into MtG's system.

>>96812781Mulldrifter but you evoke it by exiling any card from your hand and it costs 3 mana to hardcast.
>>96812781Given how safe they're playing with the mythic evoke elementals, I think there's zero chance of them making good evoke flicker targets.

>>96810626Wtf is happening with Magic anyway. I remember, now years ago, I guess (time flies too fast) shitposting about black Aragorn, but now I look over the set wiki page on mtg salvation and it's a fucking mess, with crossovers, remakes or whatever.Wtf is going on. Magic is not the same that made me like it as a kid in 2000's., early 2010's...

>>96812960Sorry, I mixed it up with regular mtg wiki.
>>96812968I am afraid to ask, but do they actually use UB cards in tournaments?
>>96812979The 2nd best deck in Standard is centered around a UB card and the 1st best deck is an aggro deck that kills you on turn 3 because that's the UB card's manacost.
>>96812985Truly, it's over....
Also, do anons still make boob edits? Where is stackedlibrary now? Archived?
>>96810793Doesn't partner with Aang?

>>96813027>Also, do anons still make boob edits? Where is stackedlibrary now? Archived?Loot's infinite knowledge of the multiverse allowed him to find where Boobanon was.It was a murder most foul : (
>>96813068But does anyone have an archive of his edits?
>>96813054Thats been a long ass time. I. Remember doing that around Theros block but didnt commenting break shortly after?
I think MTG was best when it was about Dominaria and maybe some other planes. When they started to do what I call theme park planes (notEgypt, notIndia, notAncientGreece) is when it went down hill, because Magic was already generic enough, this just sucked out more soul by not incorporating mythology and history into Dominaria and other more unique planes in a less obvious manner. UB shit is just the conclusion of it.That's my subjective take only tho.
>>96813171I think the original shittening was when they brought in Jace and the gang to turn it into comics-style serialization, and it passed a another critical point when they brought back Bolas because it marked a point where they stopped killing off major villains and just put them on the shelf to be brought back as the writers require.The theme park planes are annoying, but they could be done right as in the case of OG Ravnica and Lorwyn. Amonkhet et al are a result of laziness in writing and worldbuilding more than a failure of the basic premise.
>>96813171>When they started to do what I call theme park planes (notEgypt, notIndia, notAncientGreece) is when it went down hill,Honestly? Yep.Dominaria, Mirroden et al were the ideal. Real Magic settings, maybe vaguely influenced by some thing but ultimately extremely unique to MTG's aesthetic.Notice that the "theme park" sets began right around when Hasbro took over?
>>96813027https://mega.nz/folder/DWBRwIpK#CLilq5z0hPY6iDfgsCu3sQmight be old
>>96812270iirc they're hybrids with manatees in the original design docs
>>96812960I actually miss MtG Salvation - whenever a new set would come out, people would get together and make a "gauntlet" of new decks to test whatever shitbrew you personally came up with and they actually were always fairly close to what the metagame would eventually be (when the format is still new, anyway). I'm aware that some sites do "50 new decks with XYZ set!" but that isn't the same and they are not curated in nearly the same way.
le "avatar will save us" face
>>96813345I miss mtg salvation dogshit pauper/legacy brews.
>>96813027>>96813068I'm boobanon and I still lurk these threads, but there has been nothing new to edit after the space angels in EOE. I skip UB sets too, so expect to see a lot less edits going forward in general thanks to the 2026 WotC release calendar.
>>96813171I 100% agree. There's no artistry to theme park planes, they take the most shallow part of any mythology and change the names. Another side effect of the theme park trend is that it removed all sense of mystery from the multiverse. Phyrexia should have been only one of many unspeakable horrors waiting beyond the veil of Dominaria.
>>96813359>I'm boobanon and I still lurk these threadsYou survived the Loot attack?!Damn bro. Well done, he's a real menace.
>>96813359>I'm boobanon and I still lurk these threadsgod bless
>>96813345I miss old internet in general.I remember participating in forum drafts back in the Alara-Zendikar days and it's just the type of neat idea that you can't have now that we're all hooked to 24/7 new information from like 3 websites.
>>96813359>I'm boobanon
>>96813190Almondcat at least had an interesting premise as a place that got it's culture completely co-opted by a planeswalker into a plane-wide doomsday cult. It's almost an interesting take on the Egyptian fixation on death and the afterlife. Of course now that whole aspect is gone and it's unclear if Amonkhet has literally anything going on anymore besides the aesthetic and BBW frog goddesses.
>>96813190I didn't hate planeswalkers as a concept, but they were not handled to my liking. >>96813360Yeah. I accepted it and just moved on. I enjoy things I liked form it and that's it.
>>96813211Thanks.>>96813359If you are truly him and have newer archive, please post it.
Are your bodies ready?
>>96813171No, that's retarded. When we left Dominaria is when this game finally found its identity. Magic being an anthology where we hop between wildly different realities with wildly different aesthetics every set is exactly what makes it so fun.
>>96813211I need Prof. Onyx edits...
>>96813346>Arena losing players daily>LGS events barely holding specially for actual Magic>Incoming garbage UB setsWhat to do anons?
>>96813736why hasbro pic the shitiest and most ridiculous stuff to associate themselves with?
>>96813827
>>96813785Yes and no. Some planes were decent (although, they didn't personally capture me as much as Dominaria, Ice Age sets were my favorites, also the Dark and some others). But other planes were too generic and not well done. It's not that I don't like planes being inspired by mythology, I actually do, but they make them in a very generic way.
>>96813848It's the largest most popular thing right now, anon.
>>96813736Is this confirmed to be an MtG thing, or is it just a wider Hasbro thing?
>>96813851Based. Lili was always one of the good things about MTG.
>>96813660I have never provided an archive. You are thinking of the Stackedlibrary anon, who predates me.
My apologies for "dude weed" posting, but for people who have tried the cardboard of several different TCGs for this, which TCG card makes the best filter for a weed cigarette? My experience is that Magic cards make the best filter over other cards I have tried (I have tried DigimonTCG, PokemonTCG, Lorcana and they are either too thin or too glossy). I am curious for other opinions.
>>96810778it might explain why samut became a planeswalker and not the obvious djeru, who had his reality shattered hardest. but they do tend to have a female focus anyway, and it's not like amonkhet was a plane in good shape after she sparked
>>96813872Hasbro thing, they have the rights to do merch for the show or something like that. They didn't mention anything about MTG but a lot of people think it's just a matter of time.>>96813848It's unironically one of the biggest new IPs to appear in recent memory.
>>96814158>It's unironically one of the biggest new IPs to appear in recent memory.I know nothing about it, therefore it's not.
>>96812331We can never go back

MMM-MMM KPOP DEMON HUNTERS? GIVE ME A COMMANDER DECK RIGHT NOW
>>96814892>>96814914Oh no…
>>96814985K-Pop Demon Hunters is not getting a set, if only because it's one movie so there's genuinely no material plus making a set takes 3 years and the hype would go down before the set came out. It might end up getting Secret Lair products but it's unlikely it'll get a set.
>>96815051>it's one moviefor nowyou're only deluding yourself if you think they're not scheming up ways to make a sequel right now
>>96815062Well, if they want to make another movie that's going to take some time, two years at minimum. Then, when that's done, if there's still hype, they'll think about making an MTG set for it. As of now there's no material, it's like making an MTG set for the movie Drive- there are literally not enough unique characters or objects for one.
>>96814892>>96814914Secret Lair and Cummander is where UB garbage should stay.But if you put Demon Hunters or Hatsune Miku or any other similar garbage into Standard/Pioneer/Modern/Pauper as real cards that’s the moment the game goes to absolute shit.
>>96812201>belatednessFuck, that's it
>>96815051But if sl sells, and it will, they will create a full set.
>>96815169Spiderman sold like shit exactly because there was no material for a full set and they were forced to do cards like "helicopter" or "subway train." Trying to bruteforce one movie into a set is going to result in Spiderman 2.There are literally not enough setpieces in K-Pop Demon Hunters for a full set, as in, they would literally run out of memorable scenes or objects that exist onscreen before thy got halfway in. Because it's one movie.
>>96815187Yes but kpop demon hunters is aiming to be a full series, I think, I heard. So the set will coincide with the release of K-pop semen hunters 2.
>>96815051Jurassic Park got a set of 26 cards, KPDH obviously isn't getting 200 card sets but they could absolutely make a mini set.
>>96814892>>96814914why is this bitch still popular?
>>96815187They were doing well just making commander decks for these smaller UBs. Then mini sets like aftermath and the direct-to-modern AssCreed were abject failures so they decided to make them full standard sets instead, and now Spider-Man was also a failure and TMNT will most likely be another failure. They really need to learn that in order for a full UB set to be commercially successful it needs to a big one like LOTR and FF and that these smaller ones are better off being commander decks instead.
>>96815205What, so they're going to have the Magic team work in the movie set with the animators so they know what's going in the second movie and make a set before they release it? Absurd.
>>96814985I'd love to have a Kpop cmm!!!11! Would play well against my friend's MLP build
>>96814809
>>96815228No. But they will work with the creators of the movie to get some material for card making purposes before the movie release.
>>96815187>because there was no material for a full setthis nigga sayin' an IP from 62's doesn't have enough material
>>96815270Well, the problem (one of many) is that they didn't do classic Spider-Man, they did the new Spiderverse stuff instead because that is what is currently "popular".
>>96815259Yeah that's a comical concept, anon. They're going to try and make a set for a movie that literally does not exist yet, based on whatever materials their partners can toss them? On the *hope* that the second movie will have as much hype as the second? And they'd have to match their schedules perfectly so the set gets done around the same time as the movie? It's such a retarded and absurd idea even Hasbro execs would not go for it.
>>96815270Spiderman doesn't have enough material, yes. For 99% of crossover IP promotion, all you need is iconic characters. you wanna get your shit into Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, so on, all you need is a handful of beloved recognizable characters. But for an mtg set, you need way more than that: you need iconography, creatures and places and objects that fans will recognize and be excited about. One of the reasons for all god-awful cards in Spiderman was that WOTC were worried about players opening packs and not seeing Spiderman, because spiderman doesn't have enough specific places or objects or concepts that hold the same iconic and beloved status as its ~6 most prominent characters. You have to make a bunch god-awful generic filler cards with peter parker randomly slapped onto them if you want to get something recognizable to the majority of fans into most packs. What Final Fantasy had that Spiderman doesn't is the breadth and depth of non-named-character iconography to fill out all the needs of an mtg set with cards fans of the original property actually want to see. Nobody was worried about final fantasy fans opening packs and not seeing Cloud Strife, because they would see a moogle, or a black mage, or a summon, or a town, or a mother fucking Chocobo, and that would be exciting and cool for them.
>>96815312The "a turtle in every pack" thing for TMNT bodes very ill for that set, too. This is going to be the design brief for all UB going forward: As many characters they can grab, but make multiple versions of the popular ones to fill things out, oh and throw in WUBRG commander soup card, too.
>>96813736hopefully they release a kpop demon hunter onahole
>>96815287you're still wrong on that take, anon. the current [thing] is just a meme of the original print runs, either read the first 50 issues or go check the comparissons on YT>>96815312>iconography, creatures and places and objects that fans will recognize and be excited about>because spiderman doesn't have enough specific places or objects or concepts that hold the same iconic and beloved status as its ~6 most prominent charactersNot a neighborhood fren, huh? The “fans” you talk about would catch the “not-on-your-face” references. The tourists, on the other hand...
>>96815338I'd buy this
>>96815333That's an issue, and another issue is that the cards are getting increasingly phoned in. Any random legend from WHO outclasses all legends we've seen in Spiderman in terms of conveying the character.Like, this design could have been on any random card from literally any set for the last 10 years... the one cool thing i always thought made Universes Beyond interesting was that it led to loads of weird cards being printed with very specific and strange mechanics meant to evoke something from the source material. But now we dont even get that the cards are literally boring slop even without being cynical brand tie-ins... literally what is even the point if you can't recognize the card as the character?
You faggots are alright so I have some good and bad news. My friend works at WoTC and good news is that they're gonna release a Fate standard set in 2027. Bad news is that it's gonna have FGO in it because you can't make one 300 card set out of one VN. Rumour is that the chase cards are all the sabers like birds in FF, different colours, blue, Nero, Alter etc etc you know.So enjoy
Check out this cool card.
>>96815361Spiderman's setting is "New York." It doesn't have an expansive world to fill out a set with. There's a lot of Spiderman, he's been around for a while, but that's 60 years of depth, which doesn't translate to a Magic set, as opposed to breadth, which would. 60 years of complicated and dramatic stories told about Spiderman and his small core cast of supporting characters simply provide far, far less material of the type that's necessary to churn out interesting magic cards than the sprawling lore and proper noun factories that are FF, DW, WH40K, LTOR, etc. The very fact that the franchise tie-in is so centered around one single character, to the point where he personally has to be on like a dozen cards including dog-awful commons that i can't imagine any fan of his being excited about in order for the tie-in to be recognizable, is is an obvious sign that this wasn't ever a feasible product.
>>96815361Unfortunately, WotC has gone on record multiple times that they aim for low-level mass appeal, not deep cuts. See: Akroan Horse as an example they keep bringing up years later (they cite it as a failure because a bunch of uneducated people "didn't get the reference"). They want and actively aim for the tourist crowd for everything, both UW and UB.
>>96815389very cool, I hope to get this one on the prerelease next week
>>96815389that's cool but check this out
>>96815390>It doesn't have an expansive world to fill out a set withfalse>small core cast of supporting charactersplease, just read the comics and stop lying on this mongolian image board>interesting magic cardswe didn't have a single one in years so I fail to see the problem here
>>96815393>They want and actively aim for the tourist crowd for everything, both UW and UB.yeah, THIS is the sad true.
>>96815384literally all of that is bad news
>>96815397Nice, very nice. But watch this.
>>96815415Nigger the vast majority of all stories of Spiderman that people care about happen in New York. That is the setting people give a shit about. That is the important one, it's his neighborhood. He's fought in Lavteria and in the Negative Zone and in Battleworld but these aren't mostly Spiderman stories, they're not things we look at and think "oh, Spiderman!"
>>96815397I still can't believe they shortcutted the whole assembling kaldra thing. A disservice to the original concept and also the art is unsightly.
>>96815433now let's see Paul Allen's card
>>96815431Why? It's magic adjacent, anime to the gills but still about magic
>>96815438>that people care aboutwho cares about spiderman you dense fuck
>>96815474Fate is an urban fantasy setting and now it's just straight up scifi with Greek God robots and the villain being a supercomputer and the moon also being a VR world managed by another supercomputer
>>96815482That's FGO, you can keep it low power

>>96813864>It's not that I don't like planes being inspired by mythology, I actually do, but they make them in a very generic way.I think it's more that planes are based on mythology that is so ingrained in Western culture that they seem blasé and trite even when delving into the weird parts of the mythos. That's why Kamigawa felt so fantastical to me personally, because I knew jack shit about Japanese mythology so everything was unique and interesting.
>>96815666>It_will_happen_to_you.avi
>>96810793If you told me a decade ago there was a cool side project involving atla, I would say that I would buy it and expect it to be mildly disappointing for most and forgotten in two years. Now tho I just hate it. There's nothing special about crossovers.
>>96815678joke's on you 'cause I'm trans
>>96815677For me it's not about this, not western vs eastern or whatever. It's just that they copy it over too blatantly. It just feels uncanny, and with good reasons, because if you take notAncientGreece Theros, for example, real life had its counterpart, but it also had civilizations and people living in vastly different ways as well, due to different technological levels, climates and so on. So it seems silly to have whole plane based on just one civilization/location. It's just feels cheap.
>>96811832Why the fuck did they change the card border again? It looks like like a frame now and more like someones tik tok feed on a futuristic z scouter.
The real turning point was trend seeking sets>Strixhaven: We want the Harry Potter audience >Kaldheim: We want the Loki audience >Duskmourn: We want the backrooms/ 5 nights at Freddy's/ Ghostbusters audience
holy shit they're adding Vintage Cube to Arenawill be able to dunk on Arena players as much as you want for free instead of spending our MTGO bank
>>96815733nigga it's a phantom cube
>>96815714Well they are the pop-culture version of whatever mythology they are aping for the Plane, rather than any sort of deep nuanced view. Which is why the OG planes, even ones like Innistrad that ape a lot of Gothic Horror tropes, are more interesting because they have to at least pretend to put some effort into them.
>>96814176Why the fuck couldn't they do "Timelord"? Licensing?
>>96815733>for free instead of spending our MTGO bankwhat you mean "spending"? vintage cube is 100 playpoints and you get 100 playpoints back by going 2-1, there is no spending in vintage cube unless you suck ass
>>96815384Magic is fucking saved thank you saint rosewater
>>96815809you laugh nowwait until it's confirmed
>>96815828I'm not laughing. I've been a diehard FSN fag since 2 decades ago.
>>96815767no shitall cubes are phantom cubes>>96815803you could break even but other formats are much better EV on MTGO.
>>96815384did your friend mention jackhammers?
>>96815887yeah now tell me how much currency you need to put in to play the cube
>>96815894no idea. but I have infinite gold/gems on MTGA. I just haven't had that shit installed in months because it's usually not worth playing.Vintage Cube will give me a reason to reinstall.
mill is boring now
>>96815887>you could break even but other formats are much better EV on MTGO.you're completely missing the point, nobody plays vintage cube because of EV, they play it because it's fun
based maat33
>>96815971yes, and now Arena finally has a single fun format besides [current set draft if the newest set happens to be a good draft format].+ this means there will probably be a Vintage Cube Arena Open where you get to play competitive vintage cube for $1000-$2000 if you make day 2.seems significant that WotC is breaking the heuristic that MTGO is for Constructed + Vintage Cube, Arena is for Limited + Standard.
>>96816073idk dude they're probably gonna put alchemy cards in the cube, I don't really want to play that shit
>>96815971vintage cube hasn't been fun for years. there is very little gameplay, just two solitaire players where one tries to reanimate Archon or Atraxa and the other player tries to outrace that with boros commander cards and graveyard hate (the only interaction that matters in the format).
>>96816157I've never played vintage cube myself but I watch a lot of LSV's vintage cube videos and it seems like a fun format.

>>96811012every piece of media depicting black "people" is political in every European (ideologically: slavery = bad, white people = slavery, QED) country on earth
>>96815374blame EDHlegendary creatures now all need to feature all colors in their rules text and need to have really broad, deck-defining abilities because they're not really creatures anymore, but essentially playstyle indicators that dictate everything about how a deck gets made
>>96815374lmao > so now a full table wheel of smothering tithe / lotho bullshit also gives me +3/+3 counters on all dudes > i use my treasures to 5C and swing with all my slopi fucking hate EDH so much
>>96815096Not if they develop the set alongside a new movie. A lot of UB sets have tried to time their releases with something new dropping in the franchise
>>96816289If you have a Smothering Tithe in the table and want to buff your creatures and swing you just play fucking Craterhoof or Overrrun instead of using this garbage

>>96816584Fate Grand Order. It's the gacha game for Fate Stay Night, which is that anime franchise where summoned historical/mythological heroes fight for the holy grail and King Arthur is a blonde girl named Saber because.
>>96815384I hope Unlimited Blade Works is a big dumb high CMC sorcery
>>96816898"For every Equipment you own, create a token that's a copy of it. You may attach it to a creature you control. At the beginning of the next end step, sacrifice those tokens."Then make it cost like 8-10 mana but give it affinity for equipments for the colorless part. Maybe also state that the copies aren't legendary. Seems like a decent recipe for a big dumb commander bait sorcery.
Can someone answer a stupid question for me. Is there a catchall term for cards with this type of effect, blue aura that prevents untapping? I’ve tried googling but couldn’t find anything, also new captcha sucks balls
>>96817182>Can someone answer a stupid question for me. Is there a catchall term for cards with this type of effect, blue aura that prevents untapping?"Sleep" effects, generally.
>>96816709daily sets with ai art and made possible by functional reprints always with a different name but same effect
>>96817182Not really, though "sleep" effects is closest. You can also call them frozen, but recently that's come to mean tapping and stun counters.
Why does WoTC fellate blue players so much!!Jace and Urza are bad enough but giving them the most unfair shit too?
how you cope with the fact next year will have more than 1 set every two months? how you, as a customer, stomach that you will not remain competitive unless you are willing commit and bite the overproduction bullet?
>>96817356firebomb my lgs and tell them wotc hired me because if their lacking sales
>>96817356>how you, as a customerThat's where you're wrong kiddo!I'm no longer a customer, I just come here to laugh at people
>>96817356Theres only one set next yearMaybe too depending on how fractured the anus set is
>>96817356i dunno man i just play draft once or twice a month and thats good enough for me
>>96817356>Spike is getting milked like the whore he isSilver lining to every cloud.
>>96817356Making a cube I think I will make it Homelands tribal themed
>>96817356I’m a simple man.I see UB I say No.And competitiveness can suck my dick i play Pioneer, i will not eat the slop.
>>96817356>>96817412this is the white man answer.
>>96817356>remain competitiveWith who or whatEven if I were a standardnigger (I'm not) only a handful of cards from even the most pushed sets see meaningful play, and that number plummets as soon as you get into eternal formatsThis argument would only make sense for EDH players but not even then because you can just, y'know, not use it since "i don't like this card so i'm not running it" is a perfectly reasonable choice for any non-cedh deckI do not own a single SPM card and have no plans to change that
>>96817356I will make non-ub standard a thing
>>96815587I never liked neil gay man. But if he was a rapist that would make him at least somewhat cool

>>96817356the bulk box that me and my brother play out of will not be affected by any of this
>>96812939Also, speaking of nostalgia. I think I found one of the early videos I watched about MTG, at least the one that stuck in my mind for me, well, series of vids.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7Ay-j6WK2I&I remember them in better quality tho...
>>96815590I unironically liked that show. Shame it lasted just two seasons
>>96817447who thought put pizza as lands was a good/cool idea? whoever was deserves to be fired…
GAVIN YOU FUCK, THERE'S NO WAY YOU PLAY THIS GAME!
>>96817815He plays EDH :^)
>>96813054>>96813115Locked? I can't even see them at all now, but I could have sworn that I could still see just a few years ago, now I checked and they seem to be gone.
>>96817447Pizza lands look unironically amazing
>>96817878
>>96817356>how you, as a customer, stomach that you will not remain competitive unless you are willing commit and bite the overproduction bullet?I only play gimmick decks, the exact opposite of good stuff piles that need to be updated every setI have a bunch of shitty cards that individually can't do anything but if you put them together they are capable of winning gamesand even when my decks do get some upgrades, they end up costing very little because again, it's just a bunch of high synergy cards
>>96817860Not sure but I recall WotC removed all the comments. A real shame if true. That was a piece of real mtg history.
>>96817356I keep drafting and sell the edh pigs their cool raresNobody wants my spoodermans though
>>96817860Scryfall needs to begin rebuilding history by adding a public comment section to cards on their website (sorted by date, not reddit votes)
>>96817356This game is so cooked is unreal, things will go only worse and worse and every single point i had hope about has been wrong. I don’t know i will hold until TMNT to see the set and if it turns to be SPM 2.0 i will assume this game is not for me anymore…
>>96817306>>96817216See I thought that at first but then remembered there was the actual card Sleep which isn’t quite the same effect>>96817542Awesome thank you
I like to imagine that I'm forcing them to kneel before me.
>>96817356I play commander so I don't have to deal with that shit. If I want to play a 60-card format, I play One Piece or even Pokemon over this game.
>>96817819I FUCKING WISHILL BET THIS NIGGA EVEN USES EDH'S SLAVE NAME!
>>96818149so you like to imagine you're that lady in the black dress?
>>96818149yotsuyu was the worst part of that entire expansion and thats an accomplishment
>>96813115Comments broke sometime before M15, I think it had to do with them shutting down the official forums too. It was a great look into how people evaluated cards back then especially in contrast with how things are now. Plus it had comments from designers on a lot of cards.>>96817860When they updated gatherer (which was pointless really since nobody uses gatherer and won't move back from scryfall nowadays) they finally pruned the comment section entirely.
>>96818629There were funny comments on Invoke Prejudice page.
>>96813054Some of my favorite decks were made better by browsing the comments on gathererImo it was a huge loss when they were sunset

Is Gaving letting Maro overexpose himself?looks like is he letting taking him take all the blame so when its time to chop someoe Maro gets the boot and he becomes the Jesus that will save magic
>>96818824Gavin couldn't walk through a puddle let alone walk on water I would pay to see him try to save mtg
>>96818824MaRo has been exposed the same amount as always. He's Magic's face.
>>96818824Maro's been doing the same thing for ages. It's just that everybody else has now taken a step back so he feels more exposed. Maro is unironically the bravest of the bunch, he's drank the kool-aid and would willingly jump on the grenade if it meant Magic got to live a bit longer.

>>96819320they probably could have, but Gavin wanted exactly "Time Lord" because he has Dr Who autism and that's how they style it on the show. he said somewhere the BBC didn't ask for it but I can't remember where and couldn't find it again by searching.

>>96819981Columns of Bertin are a feature of every kidney and only become pathological when they're hypertrophic, and since I was only doing a single card, I made it a feature of the card. In the context of a hypothetical set about anatomical features, basic features like that would have to be Creatures because this is a Creature-centric game.Porcelain gallbladder, in particular, is when the gallbladder wall becomes fully calcified so that it has a stony layer around it, which fits more as an Equipment than an Aura because it's effectively armor around the gallbladder.I would probably make viruses and infections into auras. Cancers would be tokens.
