>What is your favorite evil card?This game fucking sucks and I don't care.
>poster in last thread annoyed that the only way to get cards of cute girls is through UBIt's anime. That's literally all they need- anime. Make a Chainsaw Man or Demon Slayer set- those movies have been destroying the superhero movies in the box office
>>96860794Why would fire bitch require blue mana it doesnt make sense reeeeeee
>Echo of Eons censored on ArenaYou don't hate WotC enough
MMMMH!!SAGAS, LEGENDS, FIREBENDATLA YUMMY IN MY TUMMY OINK OINK
>>96860861Piggy bros, we eatin'.
Should have been a red card desu.
>>96860839i love her ( i hate her)
>>96860852How, what is there to even censor?
>>96860896>>96860839>>96860896>possible runaway ATLA card is a literal who random OCfucking hilarious
>TQWhat is your favorite evil card?
birb
Based librarian.For a second I thought he didn't make the standard set and was only in the jumpstart set.
>>96860839I'll tell you a secret- I don't mind UB when it's anime/fantasy especially if it's got cute girls. But on the whole UB is a detriment to the kick ass setting of MTG and so I'm opposed to it on principle.
>>96860794How you feel knowing Red will keep ruining your Standard experience anons? Even after November 10 you are under mountain dominance.
>>96860892What in the color pie is this monstrosity
>>96860944Why is this green card in red?
>>96860898Check the artist credit
how big is the set going to be? seems like they've shown the bulk of it by now
>>96860954Because Blue, Black and Red are allow to steal from other colours left right and centre but god forbid green gets decent removal or white anything that isn't life gain and +1/+1 counters
>>96860839>>96860896And the regular normal art is what SOME people would describe as 'cunny'- Cunny that really wants to be pumped.Jesus Christ
>>96860898The skulls and chains.
>>96860964It's a full set. Like most a lot of the draft fodder commons are yet to be revealed
>>96860954Because firebending is mostly in red.
>>96860914>grows and draws every time the opp cracks a fetch or tutors That's kinda spicy
>>96860944PLEASE stop raping green wotc. What the FUCK is this? Why is green the only color they'll just dump into other colors but with none of greens restrictions? White and red are on crack lately
>>96860947a polymorph variant
>>96860944Red has been the single most pushed color for like 6 years it feels like
>7 dollar packs for this shitlmao
>>96860988>>96860988I kinda forgot that blue got a bunch of create 3/3 green creatures for a while.
>>96860954>fight spell AND ritual>not redcome on man.
>>96860914>better Archivist of OghmaSo they just decided to stop caring about colors that aren't blue and red?
>>96860839>>96860896>>96860968this little girl is going to kiss your ass what are you going to do about it?
What tribal deck needs this?
>>96860994yuck
>>96861016that's a little forward of her but i'll allow it
>>96860944Stop.I will say it again: Stop.Stop, MarkSTOOOOOOOOP FAGGOT!!!!
>>96861022>4 mana>ETB tappedIt's basically just a bricked mythic slot.
>>96860991Simic was way more pushed in the early FIRE era. And there was a decent period of Standard where every deck was a Bx Midrange variant.
>>96861022Oh hey, that might actually be really nice for my insect tribal deck. Overlord of the Mistmoors hasn't been working out and most of the best bugs are 6 mana or more.
>>96861022Pic related is already a thing from Bloomburrow which already achieves much the same thing
>>96860924Marvel's Spider-Man is already pozzed to hell and OM1 is still 1000% more sickeningly DEI. There is no 'kick ass setting' in MTG anymore. They just turned the Sultai into a band of gay theater kids. Your only choices are the Ninja Turtles or more undercosted threats with nappy-haired sheboons in the art.
>>96861022I feel like I'd rather play this instead in most cases
>>96861053>muh sultailet's not pretend we're lacking in cartoonishly evilgeneric necromancer factions with cards like "bonesinew harvester" in Magic that the sultai desperately needed to fill that niche or that they were anything particularly interesting.
due to company policies, we can no longer portray voluptuous women so we're pivoting into sexy teens
>>96860914>Flash>Flying
Why do I have a crush on Cephalid Facetaker?I've never felt such love
>>96860914>>96861010>literally has every ability White should have right now Gavin lies confirmed again. Kikes Hate White.
>>96861022it's a rare for casuals
>>96861077based, fuck White for ruining Vintageunrestrict tolarian academy you cowards
>>96861063>>96861050i guess as an artifact is easier to untap, and it has no activation cost.
mmm sexy bear gut. Is this Magic's most sexed up set?
>>96861069We're also not lacking in wholesome chungus necromancers. Just let Sultai be the Sultai people remember. It'd be just as jarring if the return to Strixhaven had the entirety of Witherbloom become serial killers overnight.
>>96861078>for example
>>96860914>Flashwhite>Flyingwhite>Vigilancewhite>Distributing +1/+1 counterswhite>Search staxexclusively only ever white>Color pie?In shambles.>Design integrity?Defenestrated.>White bros?Sent to the shadow realm.
>>96861077Literally nothing about that card is White, you falseflagging jewish cuckold. An actual White card would prevent or limit searching in the first place.
>>96861098>We're also not lacking in wholesome chungus necromancers.we have one (1) wholesome chungus necromancer faction and it's half of amonkhet. literally everyone else is evil to the core.
>>96861110>>96861010
>>96861100Everything except Flying is more of a Green effect. It should've been a simic card if anything.
>>96861114>Mono blue reanimator.
>>96860847Blue mana has the symbol of water, but is actually the color of being a conniving bitch. Also, the Fire Nation is an archipelago.
>>96861100This anon gets it>>96861110Nice try Nosewater, but Gavin promised white flash would save the color for standard, which was another kikety lie.
>>96861112Pie breaking kikes replacing actual stax with gay ass value shart slop. Color me shocked.
Flash creatures should REALLY not be in blue's color pie.
>>96861126It's not reanimator if you have to pay the cost for the card.
>>96861139Cool story bro.So you think that effect is mono-blue then?
>>96861111>literally everyone else is evil to the core.Wrong, and still a terrible reason to change old factions instead of just making new ones.
>>96861142yeah
>>96861145The faction has already been changed. Being evil demon summoners fucked over the Sultai and got literally all of them killed and then enslaved as zombies for the next 1.000 years. Why would they throw off their tyrant's reign and go right back to working with the people who proved themselves utterly untrustworthy.
>>96861152It's so fucking over.
Since FIRE design, blue has broken every color pie rule for it.Phasing of Zhalfir? Board wipeVigilance? Stolen from White+1+1 counters? Stolen from whiteGo wide tokens? Stolen from whiteNoncreature reanimte? Stolen from whiteFlash? Literally promised to White by Gavin Verhey and then the best/rares/mythics given to blue, including denying Spellbinder Elite flash but yet the other world champ card had both flash and flying and fucking shared card draw with advantage.Ravenform? Exiling creaturesThe fucking list goes on and on
>>96861126>reanimatorRead again it's noncreature, nonland.
>>96861126It's not really reanimator since it can't reanimate creatures. The fact that it targets only noncreature spells makes it more blue, but I'm not a fan of the fact that it can steal cards from the graveyard like that.>>96861152I fucking hate that people are bringing this ridiculous argument up now because of the hybrid mana topic.>SEE?!? WotC doesn't think it's a color pie break!!!WotC has done a lot of stupid things in the past 6 years. Just because they said it's not a color pie break doesn't mean such an assessment is congruent with cards they've made in the past and vice versa.
>>96861130Calling other people nosewater isn't going to fool anyone, nosewater. Everyone knows the white flash thing is just a distraction from them stripping out real White effects to appease commanderblobs. But tricky little kikes like you think you can just say "GAVIN FLASH GAVIN FLASH" enough times and it'll stop us from noticing. We're onto you.
Best lesson so far.
>>96861175And yet they won't do reprints of simple blue spells like 2 mana counterspells, instant speed card draw, and tapping permanents that are not nonland.
>>96861138Flashing fairies have been around since lorwyn
>>96861142Remember anon, as long as you put a restriction to it every effect can be mono blue.
>>96861186Your false flag lies don’t deceive me, shekelsucker. Never in the HISTORY of the game has a color sucked so hard that the lead designer had to push out damage control to reassure the players that 1/5th of the color pie wasn’t unplayable.Eat shit kike.
>>96861201Yes, and?Bad idea then. Bad idea now.
>>96861138lorwyn block really fucked with blue creature designi'll give time spiral a pass since flash was a 5 color block mechanic, but it was the first time blue got a significant amount of flash
I'm starting to think none of you understand the color pie at all
>>96861185nigger, this is essentially "you can cast target noncreature spell from your opponent's graveyard." It's a basic bitch theft effect with convoke to be cute. It's Nightveil Specter but worse.
>>96861165>Being evil demon summoners fucked over the SultaWorked out well enough in the original timeline, and there's no reason to bring back the wedge clans if they're gonna be totally different.
>>96861211neither do you, mark
>>96861208>the color defined by lots of instant-speed plays and stack interaction shouldn't be allowed to have instant-speed creatures because... uhhhh it just shouldn't!!!
I can still remember JOTC shills screaming about how they claimed “hurr durr you just want white to be like this color!!!!”Now it’s been blue literally stealing everything white. Notice how those shekel shills are all silent.
so, what do we think about Avatar: the Last Airbender™ MTG set?
>>96861232it's good if you like cumming on yugioh cards
>>96861232Pig slop for pigs
>>96861213>It's Nightveil Specter but worse.What makes you think I don't also think that's a color pie break? To me, it's clearly a black or black/blue card, but not a blue card.
>>96861211https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/making-magic/mechanical-color-pie-2021According to the color pie it's in pie.
>>96861221YES.The color with the best instant interaction should not ALSO have flash creatures. It should need to commit to the board between its interactions. This is called GAME BALANCE you fucking homo erectus retard.
>>96861214>Worked out well enough in the original timeline,And not in this one. In this one it brought them their downfall. Why would they do something that has clearly been shown to not work for them just because it worked for someone else in an alternate timeline they know not>there's no reason to bring back the wedge clans if they're gonna be totally different.hing about.yeah the clans should just be always affected with amnesia and do the exact same things even if they're shown to not work. next time we go to Ravnica they should just repeat MKM's plot again, too!
>>96861211If it isn't on a card from 1993 it's a pie breaks, simple as
>>96861243>https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/making-magic/mechanical-color-pie-2021I've hated everything about this article since the day they published it.
>>96861207>No, you're the real falseflagger!Could you be anymore unsubtle about your jewish sophistry, you tricky little kike? >Never in the HISTORY of the game has a color sucked so hard that the lead designer had to push out damage control to reassure the players that 1/5th of the color pie wasn’t unplayable.Get serious with your pilpul. It's not "damage control" when it's just brazenly distracting you from the real attacks on the color. Everyone can see what you're doing by echoing it. Find a new trick, Nosewater.
>>96861228I think the only things white can do that blue can't are lifegain and wrath.
>>96861241I can keep going.
>>96861228I literally remember it being the opposite, but okay retard
>>96861241>FlyingWhite>Exiles cardsWhite mechanicEven in original Ravnica the death of white as a colour was well underway
>>96861266>gatecrash>original ravnicaOk zoomer
>>96861260>Blue/black tribeClearly a color pie break, I can also keep going.
>>96861193based
>>96861259Black and White have more blatant overlap. Curious how the shills are focusing so much on Blue.
>>96861281Phyrexian card, well known for pie breaks, I'll keep going for you.
Hot air balloon
>>96861285It's actually green and white that have the most overlap.
>>96861290I don't know why you keep posting cards, I'm just gonna say I hate it and think it's a color pie break. (Notice how most of these cards are rares btw? Really makes you think...) The most I'm willing to compromise on is permanent-stealing cards, and even then, most people were only fine with it because most people just saw blue as the control color back then.>Phyrexian card, well known for pie breaks,Oh, so you admit it's a color pie break?
More clues for fire and waterbending.
>>96861307I am saying what is known as a "joke" by inventing some bullshit reason to disqualify the card. It doesn't matter if you think it's a color pie break, blue has had pricy effects that let it lob a card off the opponent's library or graveyard to cast it for a long while. Oftentimes, it even gets to cast that shit for free outright!
Okay, here's a little test for you little shekel grubbing shills. Post a single playable White card printed in the past 6 years. Just one.>inb4 Leyline Binding I said WHITE card. You know, something you might play in a WHITE deck with other WHITE cards?I'll wait.
>>96861323why would i care about cards printed in the last 6 years
>>96861323
>>96861310>It's a show about learning lessons and gaining more experience, so we should fill it up with lessons and clues!Of all the uses for clue tokens, this is by far the most egregious.
>>96860914God this is my favorite effect I loved playing Cosi Trickster I love birb
>>96861323>I said WHITE card. You know, something you might play in a WHITE deck with other WHITE cards?Zur Overlords is white tho. It played Overlord of the Mistmoors, Ride's End, High Noon, Beza, Not On My Watch, Sunfall, and Authority of the Consuls, all white cards.
>>96861323Clarion Conqueror
>finally a pro tour as main event>its only to shill the marvel shit gay heroes
Cabbage secret lair.
Earthbending Aang
>>96861318>blue has had pricy effects that let it lob a card off the opponent's library or graveyard to cast it for a long while.Watering down what makes these colors unique has always frustrated me. WotC have been doing this since Time Spiral and I've hated every time they normalize changes like this, but before other people used to hate it too, now nobody seems to care.>We want a black card that can do something black doesn't normally do? Just make it cost life!>A red spell that wants to do a non-red thing? Just make sure there's a discard cost!It got so much worse since they started designing around commander and I firmly believe it's the reason we're in the situation we're in today.>Let's make a creature that lets you make tons of mana in Izzet, but we'll restrict it based on power and noncreature spells so that it's not a color pie break!It's all so tiresome.
>>96861258>the larping kike still thinks he’s funnyThe joke wasn’t funny the first time either, Nosewater. I care about white. You don’t.Drop the act retard.
>>96861368That's an extremely lazy transformation, even if you take the college into account
Blue 1 mana 3/3
>>96861381That's the full art panorma version of the card- the regular version has proper different art on both sides.
>>96861380You first, jew
>>96861373>>We want a black card that can do something black doesn't normally do? Just make it cost life!yeah they never did this before
I was originally negative on Avatar, but now I see the artwork is nice (and contains cute girls) I am excited again. Magic is saved.Also the contrast between Spiderman and Avatar is stunning. It really highlights how much of a stinker Spiderman was.
>>96861381It's part of a scene box thing so both sides have to fit the scene.
>>96861391Waiting on you, kike settler
>>96860914Goddammit I might actually pick this guy up. I always loved him and hated how he ended up getting betrayed.
>>96861323Ive been had by this card
>>96861393Oh, but why stop there? Black should be allowed to do ANYTHING if paying life is involve, not just taking care of creatures! I'm 100% expecting them to print a new counter spell a non-blue get can play in the next couple of years.
>>96861334Clues were also probably added so they had a generic artifact token they could use for enabling water bending costs
>>96861323White plume is literally the scourge of vintage
>>96861413I thought the little bitch had it coming.>i let the general of the army who wants to take over the world access my library and now he's using it to take over the world. how could this be happening to me????
Firebending lord.
>>96861421i've always been of the opinion that counters should have been distributed among the colors, maybe hitting different types or at varying levels of efficiency but that ship sailed long ago, it would have to be in a custom set designed fully around it
>>96861421Bro idk what you're talking about black cant do everything if they make it lose life, now are you gonna pay half your life or can I take an extra turn?
>>96861444post more sexy teens
>>96861439I meant by the protagonists. Aang straight up lied about not intending to use it for warfare, and Wan believed him because he knew Aang was the Avatar.
I'm coming back so I don't have a lot of more recent cards so what are the cheap decks now? and is there a good deck website that shows cost to craft stuff in mtga?
>>96861421>>96861465>planar chaosAnon...
>>96861467I mean, what were they supposed to do there? Tong was being an idiot, categorizing all efforts of war to be equally evil is flat out false. Even if he disassociates from the world, the Fire Nation has already demonstrated that it is not afraid to conquer the world of spirits if they deem it necessary. Zhao already burned a large section of his library and killed the moon spirit. His attitude may well have ended in the world being permanently damaged, spirit world included. This is a truth that Aang had to accept even though he was raised as a pacifist Airbender. Taking the information on the solar eclipse was done in the best interest of the world, whether the owl believed it or not.
>>96861474Unironically, why aren't they browner?
>>96860794Oink oink oink
>>96861421Always has been
>>96861490the feedback has been heardmagic is a whitewash franchise now
>>96861504I think the only true black color pie break is destroy target artifact.
>>96861481Fine take a fucking feed the swarm theres still plenty of them
>>96861512I think this was a pretty fucking egregious break. Black shouldnt tuck
The only Caucasian in the show.Every else is some flavor of Asian or Native American but he's Indian.
>>96861512Even then they'll print shit like 'destroy vehicle' or 'destroy spacecraft'
>>96861531Yeah that's pretty bad.
>>96861456Agreed, Autumn Veil was a well designed card
>>96861539>Even then they'll print shit like 'destroy vehicle' or 'destroy spacecraft'Which black should be able to do..... while it's a creature.
>>96861537this really was the orientalism children's cartoon now that i think about it
>>96861537Did you mean to say Aryan?
>>96861549>Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are the creators of ATLABI mean yeah, it was pretty blatant about its appropriation
>>96861509>my hero Chit Sang isn't a legend Chit Sang bros, we're not even named... At least he's a rare, for some reason.
>>96860839Another broken as fuck red card. Im convinced the red fellating will continue indefinitely. Give her Dreadmaw's Ire or Turn Inside Out to pump her to 4 power. Play pic related to pump her to 10 power. Swing then firebend 10 then flashback pic related to 20 power.
>>96861073Perhaps this set will have some art worth upgrading after all..
>>96861545Yeah, but they wouldn't need to specify for that, because normal kill spells already work while it's a creature
>>96861531Yeah, never agreed with black having enchantment interaction or tucks.It's okay for colors to have strengths and weaknesses. Colors shouldn't be able to do everything, not even at high cost.
>>96861565they're just idiots hellbent on ruining everything good about the game, don't mind them.
>>96861572>It's okay for colors to have strengths and weaknesses. Colors shouldn't be able to do everything, not even at high cost.But if every color can't do every thing, what about EDH decks that are only in the one color?!
>>96861537Why are you trying to impose real-world cultures on a fantasy world with its own cultures and history?
>>96861582Commanderfags don't want these, they want 5C goodstuff piles.
>>96861555To be fair, they took it all pretty seriously for a kid's show. All the text in the show is in actual, legible Chinese and they paid a lot of mind to the philosophy of the martial arts as well as the movements.Then Korra came along and shit all over everything. But hey, at least the knock off Model T cars have a funny Asian brim on their roofs!
>>96861555All the fighting used legit martial arts which was cool and all the language was in real ancient asian languages too
>>96861549they made an entire world of just Asians and Native Americans and still managed to include Japanchina as the villain, what do you think?
>>96861543autumn veil is as much of a counter spell as fork is
>>96861572>Colors shouldn't be able to do everything, not even at high cost.While I agree with you Colorless kinda gets to do whatever the fuck it wants at an extremely high cost
>>96861620which gives mono color decks access to those effects without needing to actually print them in those colors
>>96861584Even within the show, Guru Pathik is pretty anomalous. He looks completely different from everyone else, has a completely unique accent, and he has no backstory beyond being a spiritual companion to the Air Nomads. He really is just some random Indian mystic plopped into the world.
>>96861584He had the most non standard design in the show due to his Caucasianoid features. No one else looked like him.
>>96860839>Vivi is destroying the game>print 2cmc ViviWhat was going through their heads at this moment?
>>96861657what do you mean anon, that is heartFUARKING hero 2.0
>>96861657they were too busy thinking about feet
>>96860839It should be Firebending Master.A student is more powerful than all firebending creatures shown so far. Classic wotc design team
>>96861686of course the spunky student with lots of potential will outperform their masters and trained experts with ease. this is a children's cartoon.
>the prowess feeds back directly into fire bending Have they learned nothing?
Another onomatopoeia card.
>>96861700There's only two ways to be a great bender in Avatar, either you're a child prodigy or you're a wrinkly old man. I'm pretty sure Ozai is the only exception to this.
Threadly reminder that RDW will have access to a 1 mana counter to single target removal
>>96861742I think he was a child prodigy. His family was part of the eugenics experiment.
>everything changed when the red deck attacked...I guess the flavor is on point from that perspective
Where's the removal?
>>96861770Your going to take your banishing light variant and murder+ set mechanic and you're gonna damn well like it
THINK ABOUT SLOPTALK ABOUT SLOPCONSOOME SLOPBE SLOPAMEN ATLA
Lightning Bending should be a kill spell, but they're probably just gonna make it a bolt variant.
Best card so far.
>>96861797Never watched the show but this it makes it look like a fucking reddit cringefest
>>96861795I mean the most notorious times lightning was used in the show were times it didn't kill someone.
>>96861804Your dad is coming back anon, he just went to buy a pack of cigarettes.
>>96861824He fell off a cliff in front of me when I was 6 years old.
>>96861849only stupid and weak people fall off cliffs
So far everything is nothingburger slop
>>96861849i would kill myself too if i had spawned such a creature as yourself>>96861856don't judge sis
>>96861859and yet the shill will keep propping it upremember when the shill tried to push the narrative omenslop cards were good-looking and xyr wanted to use them irl? i do
>>96861856>>96861862: (
>>96861887it's not all bad. at least you don't force spoilers here every single set and try to steer the discussion into not criticizing the obvious slop
>>96861898>it's not all bad. at least you don't force spoilers here every single set and try to steer the discussion into not criticizing the obvious slopHuh, that's true.I guess life is good after all!
Blue mana dork.
>>96860839>>96860896>>96860968nice
Stronger Enigma Drake.
>>96861921the thing keeps forcing the /mtgag/ general despite the fact it gets so few posts it lasts like 15 days every time, and that's cointing the bots, the shill and baitstruly a pitiful creature
>>96861933oh no!
Magic's tradition of children being stronger and rarer than the adults.
>>96861933Blue untapping things is in-pie
people really still acting like the color pie exists at all lmao, it died years ago
>everyone losing their shit over avatar cards>me still playing my mono-white phyrexian mite deckicky bugs go skrkrskrksrksrkskrksrkskrksrkrskrrsk
>>96861990I still remember the design notes being to depict a holy mother and her child.
>hey how do we make a whole set of (insert IP here)>ehhh just make like 7 Azula cards, 5 Gandalfs, and 6 Green Goblins whateverThis shit sucks so bad.
>>96862007it makes me think of hornet and hollow knight in general>towering citadel made of bone full of sapient bug critters all engaged in religious worship...huh.
>>96862018>>ehhh just make like 7 Azula cards, 5 Gandalfs, and 6 Green Goblins whateverAnon, don't forget yours SAGAS!!!!
>>96862018Yes, this may surprise you, but in other forms of media characters tend to evolve over time so they are represented differently at the beginning, middle, and end of their journeys. This is a sharp contrast to MtG where characters start out as stupid assholes then never change any of their traits ever.
>>96862018>there is theoretically a Goku of every mana typeoh no.
>>96860944some fags said firebend will be in innocuous or even shit, i can’t laugh hard enough.
>>96862041mtg doesn't have characters
>>96862042>"Hold your fire, that man isn't black!">- TrunksGOAT flavor text tho desu can't believe WotC actually did it.
>>96861955Treasures just got even more annoying
Ah, fuck. Am I really going to buy a collector booster for avatar? I hope the price falls more, before the new blood moon printing is revealed
>>96862037'ate sagas'ate adventchas'ate planeswalkas (not racis' just don' loyk em)luv me countersluv me tokensluv me spellssimple as.
This Avatar set is cool and all but I sure with Loot were in it!Where is he?
>>96862060Now that red gets mana dorks treasures have become rarer.
why would anyone simp for Azula?
>>96862077She is bratty and needs correction.
Unblurry Sokka
>>96862077I can fix her
>>96862077The foot scene got embedded in their psyches.
>>96862094Wow, that is extremely shit and basically unplayable.
>>96862041>Azula (on a lizard)>Azula (on a throne)>Azula (with some fire)Ah yes, I completely understand her entire story now. I can really see the difference in her character from the start and the end. I love gargling corporate balls!
>>96862018
Best card of the set
>>96862077...because she's sexy and powerful? And before you get your knickers in a twist, remember that I (as well as many other players) were children when we watched the show when it came out. I was ten years old when the show came out, of course I'd be down for her just I'm down for all the other goth baddies of that era.>>96862100It's okay to be retarded, anon, but you really should put on your blinkers to warn people.
Really people liked this show? This fucking slop makes me wanna puke. And what’s worse i will not have “Through the Omenpath” cards to at least forget this shit exist.
>>96862103Yeah that's pretty gross.Earthbend's hilarious weakness to bounce, however, leaves every card trying to use it with a pretty major flaw.
>>96862100Having not watch the show the show it's pretty easy to tell the progression>Azula hunts the inferior>Becomes ruler of a foreign country>Then she becomes Emperor of joining both countries into one.
>>96862107>y-you are retardedIt's okay to give up. I understand your initial point was terrible and indefensible so you immediately conceded. I get it.>dude these cards show character growth (if you've watched the source material and also squint*********)lmao. You should get hired to help out with Nosewaters blog. You got that inner jew in you!
>>96862042>an MTG set where Mr. Popo is the only black characterBrother, I'll take it
>>96862113>Really people liked this show? This fucking slop makes me wanna pukeAs someone who has never seen it, all I see is cringe. If this is really representative of the show I can not imagine how anyone liked it.
>>96862113It's ok showWould rather it wasn't an MTG set tho
>>96862113What's not to like? It's the most Magic adject UB yet without blacked/race swapped characters like Lord of the KEKED
>>96862136>What's not to like?It.
Affinity for Allies
I may actually try and fly to whatever liberal shithole MaRo lives in and end up fedposting.Holy fuck.
>>96862037I am fine with more Sagas. Magic will not be healed until Enchantress is at least tier 2.
>>96862156I don't think he's at fault for these.
>>96862156What were they thinking
>>96862156>screenshot from show just massively unscaled for some reasonHow someone approved this is beyond my comprehension. Did they get a discount because of how cropped it is?
>>96862156I, for one, enjoy how they made the cart text his moustache. It's very cool and innovative!
>>96860847She also doesn't have Red color identity for Commander.
>>96862183>Flavor text doesn't count.lmfao you're right now that's some KINO design.
>>96862113The show is pretty ok, but it's literally for babies and autistic people who need the characters to exaggerate facial expressions in order to understand their emotions.
Rare cards
I don't know guys I kinda liked the cards shown today.
>>96862209I only dislike lessons.
>>96862041>Azula>""""""""evolve over time"""""""""""She starts the show an evil manipulator bitch and by the end of the show she's exactly the same. The fuck are you talking about?
>>96862215She ends paranoid and insecure by the end of the show.
>>96862174The show was only ever broadcast in 480p, they don't have the masters to make high res screenshots.
>>96862215She gets more and more insane as the show progresses
>>96862226Then why zoom in?
>>96862233
>>96862233Who the fuck knows
>>96860896>>96860839Why is she a Monk? I thought that only airbenders were monks in Avatar.
>>96862233Because it's funny.
>>96862201So, perfect for Magic players albeit challenging for them to process.
I need a list of X cost spells legal in standard
>>96862253That's actually good point.There's a couple non airbender characters i would accept being typed as monk, but a generic fire nation school student doing what amounts to PE class is a monk?? that's weird.
>>96862293They are a bender. Not every one can bend.
>>96862303That doesnt make them a monk
>>96862282Don't you know about the website Scryfall?search mana:{X} legal:standard
>>96862253>>96862293That also struck me as strange. Especially since they have an Earthbending Student card they already revealed which is just Human Warrior Ally. There's not really a reason for one to be a monk and not the other.
So the draft archetypes appear to be:>BR: Firebending>GW: Allies>RW: Allies>WB: Aristocrats>UR: Non-creature spells/Lessons>BG: +1/+1 countersNot sure about the rest.
>>96862156I genuinely, no joke, no jest, no kidding, thought this was a custom card, the fact it's actually real is beyond insane to me
>>96862358Oh great, the same shit they do every time. How creative.
>>96862156The original artwork cards for Marvel and Final Fantasy work since they used actual good artwork (aside from some ugly CG models from FFIX), and it looks like TMNT will also use artwork from the comics. But using screenshots from the show here was a terrible idea, they just don't look good, they should have used artwork from official promotional materials in higher quality.
>>96862341Monks is probably there because of the prowess
>>96862156WOTC is literally laughing in your faces by this point
>>96862386It's like they looked at those hideous FF9-10 ingame render cards and went "yep, these are clearly the best of the bunch, let's do more like these".
>>96862358WU seems to be waterbending.GU seems to be 3 lessons in grave.
>>96862385Firebending, Allies, and Lessons are new. They always do a mix of new/unique themes and recurring themes.
Does anyone else think that they should just reprint a bunch of the silverborder/acorn-foil UN-set cards as tournament legal? Aside from stuff like "count the number of words in the name of a card", a lot of them are perfectly fine effects to have in regular games.Let's look at this card for instance: https://scryfall.com/card/ust/102/as-luck-would-have-itthis card already has a lot of legal cards similar to it. We have other wincons that center around rolling dice or flipping coins:https://scryfall.com/card/pip/135/luck-bobbleheadhttps://scryfall.com/card/mh2/277/chance-encounterhttps://scryfall.com/card/wth/103/goblin-bombAnd the enchantment cost and hexproof ability itself seems to be a callback to:https://scryfall.com/card/eve/68/helix-pinnacleWe've already got TNMT, furby secret lair, Dr who, fortnite, spongebob and avatar as (upcoming) blackborder tournament legal cards. So "it would be silly" isn't an argument at this point, most unset cards fit the game far more than those cards.
>>96862414>Firebending, Allies, and Lessons are new.>FirebendingIt's just Rakdos Aggro.>AlliesTribal is not new.>LessonsLiterally a returning mechanic and also it's just UR spellslinger (the same as 80% of all UR archetypes in limited)
>>96862420Yeah, most of the dice-themed cards could easily be reprinted in black-border now.
>>96862136>>96862134>>96862113>Really people liked this show? This fucking slop makes me wanna puke. And what’s worse i will not have “Through the Omenpath” cards to at least forget this shit exist.I liked avatar and think its a great show, but most of it doesn't fit mtg. The wacky animal hybrids are the only thing that doesn't immediately throw me off:https://scryfall.com/card/tla/200/turtle-duck
>>96862432>>96862385OK, genius. Feel free to come up with 10 completely original draft archetypes for one set.
>>96862434Not just the dice themed cards. You have also joke callback stuff like this:https://scryfall.com/card/ust/31/crow-stormThough i'm not sure if its too strong power wise.
>>96862420>Does anyone else think that they should just reprint a bunch of the silverborder/acorn-foil UN-set cards as tournament legal?"should" is a very strong word in this context given how many things they "should" be doing but are willingly choosing not toI agree that reprinting a bunch of specific silverborder cards would not suddenly break the game, but there are way bigger priorities right now
>>96862404I genuinely think it's 100% on purpose.Like "Oh who cares piggies will eat the slop anyway" malicious
>>96862386>and it looks like TMNT will also use artwork from the comicsI'm glad, can you imagine if they'd use screenshots from the '87 show instead?
>>96862449>>96862455My thoughts are like this. If UB is slop, then most of the un-set cards are junk food. I'd rather eat junkfood than slop from a trough.
>>96862442>OK, genius. Feel free to come up with 10 completely original draft archetypes for one set.No. The very concept of having every set feature 10 carbon copy archetypes every time is shit and should be scrapped.
>>96862420>>96862434>>96862434There's even silver bordered cards like this which make you wonder why it was not constructed legal in the first place:https://scryfall.com/card/ugl/67/team-spiritThe only kinda weird thing about this card is the flavor text
>>96862468Wewlad
>>96862474Then how would Limited work? Or do you want WotC to ditch Draft?
>>96862484>Then how would Limited work?The same way it always does, moron, just without cookie cutter generic trash making it repetitive and boring.
>>96862484You do realize that Draft was a thing long before WotC started forcing in draft archetypes with signpost uncommons, right? Ravnica is when they started really leaning into it, before that each set had some themes and they made sure each color had enough good cards to hold their own, then players were expected to do their own thing.
>>96862496>Ravnica is when they started really leaning into it,Invasion block was, actually. but Ravnica was considered by many to be the peak.
>>96862442it'd be easier to think of unique limited environments that are less on rails if they stopped releasing seventy sets a year
>>96861947I remember the chimera of og theros. Powercreep sure is a bitch.>>96861955cool and good. Sac food in limited.Avatar set is better than most modern in universe sets, damn>>96861965>>96862103good card the cub. Mono green devotion would probably try to branch off to play it if pioqueer was still around. >>96862015At least Uncle is op>>96862080shit>>96862202whatever cards. Good but clearly commander folder.
>>96862484>Then how would Limited work? Or do you want WotC to ditch Draft?The stupidest post on all of /tg/ right now.
>>96862156>smug anime girl (male) kindred commander staple
>>96862490>>96862516NTA, but you both are retarded. Signpost uncommons are not a bad thing you fucking monkeys.
>>96862226>The show was only ever broadcast in 480p, they don't have the masters to make high res screenshots.....what happened to the masters?
>>96862420Hex Pinnacle is actually harder to pull of than that un-set card (and yeah, playing some of the dnd cards would be viable with that enchantment depending of the format).>>96862447It is strong and would probably make people want to play U-storm in legacy. But it is not bullshit strong.>>96862475By that time there was no Teammates rules. We played 2x2 but it was not fully acknowledged in the rules&cards.
>>96862541Lost. Even the blu rays of the show are shit quality with basic upscaling
>>96862565>Hex Pinnacle is actually harder to pull of than that un-set card (and yeah, playing some of the dnd cards would be viable with that enchantment depending of the format).In terms of difficulty to execute, you could probably also compare it to chance encounter.https://scryfall.com/card/mh2/277/chance-encounterIdk if they could do power level errata for the silver border if needed.
>>96862565>It is strong and would probably make people want to play U-storm in legacy. But it is not bullshit strong.interestingly there's 2 legal cards which also references them.https://scryfall.com/card/blc/10/murmurationhttps://scryfall.com/card/unf/66/attempted-murder
>>96862607>https://scryfall.com/card/unf/66/attempted-murderthe second one is from an unset but's one of the legal cards (no acorn foil and black border).
>>96862532>Signpost uncommons are not a bad thing you fucking monkeys.Sorry, what was that?I couldn't hear you with the entire Hasbro executive suite's collective dicks in your mouth.
>>96862586The only difference is mana cost and hexproof but yeah, thinking about d20 it would have almost the same number of tries (diceroll Vs coin flips) to get it done in average (the dice one still being better because there is no bad result and all even 1s contribute to the end result)Anyway I think it would be fair to have them become non-acorn legal cards, It is not like Pionner would be at risk.>>96862616That Storm Crow is a menace to society. I don't want him near my daughter!
so, you've made a ton of firebending manawhat are you dumping it on?
ATLA WILL FLOP TOO KEKK
>>96862156This is the slop frame
>>96861867>that artTerrible
>>96862156How.How did it get THIS bad.
You guys got any decks you play online that would get you lynched in your actual group?
>>96863162Well, you see, one day they released a walking dead secret lair...
>>96863232>groupnegro, if it's legal it's legal
>>96863301rule zero applies
>>96863307Rule zero is only a thing for nigger formats like Commander
>>96862156Can we all agree that if this doesn’t flop as hard as Spooderman we are on the hands of literal clowns?
>>96863312nah, if I don't want play against you, I just wont
>>96863321cool, thanks for the free win then
>>96863232im actually the opposite in that most online decks i play are boring aggro and in paper i usually play prison, land destruction or mill
>>96863330can't win if we don't play
>>96863346Then why did you sign up for the event if you were just going to drop?
>>96863314Not a chance it flops as bad as spiderflop; ATLAB is way too wholesome and the set seems to be more than le single main character [from irl city] in a bunch of le multidimensional versions that nobody is emotionally attached to.....
>>96861907wow sucks your kid died that's fucked up. did you try doing the three most generic effects we could think of about it?
>>96860914>one shi T
>>96863162toxic positivity. the influences in power all just snapped and are actively trying to throw batteries in the ocean
damn...MtG influencers look like THAT?

playpremodern
you will not be safe in premodern
>>96863779What do you mean?
>>96863753if you want to play entomb reanimator you should just play invasion-odyssey-7thi would like the 'tog (you know which one) to be banned tho
>>96863792if we can't print cards in your format, we will find another way to ruin it. like changing game rules
>>96863792Nta, but if premodern were to become mainstream enough, I could see Wotc wanting to recognize it as an official competitive format and then we go down the slippery slope:>Eventually WotC either takes control over the format or just proclaims itself to be worthy of making whatever changes they want>They do a reprint set to get even more people playing the format, but it includes new-to-premodern cards that are slightly worse versions of reserved list cards to make it easier for people to get into the format (and also further discourage proxying the format)>They start banning/unbanning cards that shouldn't be touched, making unnecessary changes, etc.>And finally, Premodern Horizons
New spoilers dropped. Got a 2R Ty Lee with prowess and pay 1 when she attacks to make one thing can’t block, a 3G 4/4 zookeeper that gives nonhumans +1/+1 for each creature type it has up to ten (so changelings won’t count), and a 3RG 5/4 Bumi with trample that earthbends 4 on enter, and gives you an extra combat phase on dealing damage but ONLY for your land creatures.
>>96861100>Search stax>exclusively only ever whiteNot only is this not true, the majority are non-white.
Prowess is unironically Storm-tier busted and everyone just pretends it isn't.
>>96863845>a 3G 4/4 zookeeper that gives nonhumans +1/+1 for each creature type it has up to ten (so changelings won’t count)Guess he's taking care of Leonardo.
whats the difference between sneak and ninjitsu?
>>96863779>>96863809>>96863811Silence heathens. We can follow OS gamers and fully abandon modern rule set anytime we wish. The only reason we haven't is for MTGO play and to help dumb newfags like (You) to migrate (also shit and bad fuck off we're full)
>>96863926Basically Ninjewtsu is an ability and Sneak is an alternate cost. Ninjewtsu can only be used with creatures and Sneak can be used with anything and be countered by more stuff.Sneak can only be used during a specific step of combat while the timing on Ninjutsu is also more lax.In essence Ninjutsu is more powerful but Sneak is more versatile from a design standpoint (meaning it's easier for retard designers)
>>96863926Sneak works with noncreature/nonplaneswalker spells and can only be cast during the blocker step. Ninjutsu can be cast after your attacking creature has dealt combat damage as long as it's still the combat phase that it attacked during. Otherwise, they're identical.
>>96863926On creatures? No difference at all as far as I know. But sneak can also be on noncreature spells.It’s also a generic name unlike the Japanese ninjitsu, so high probability we see it in another set in the future.
>>96863943Isn't it incredibly retarded to not have the NINJA TURTLES use Ninjutsu, though?
>>96863945Maybe, but I wouldn’t be surprised if sneak was developed after the reception of Kamigawa Neon Dynasty, and replaced the ninjitsu that was originally in the TMNT set in order to use it.
>>96862101>people still posting my shitpostGlad to have made a contribution to the culture
>>96863945It is, but WotC don't like using the OG Kamigawa mechanics, moreso because they prefer mechanics to have generic names so that they can use them on more cards rather than their usual political reasons.
Sneak can be put on noncreature spells which can't be done with Ninjutsu. This is extremely gay though because how does a spell sneak? And yeah it is a flavor fail to not have Ninjutsu in a set where half the characters are explicitly ninjas.WotC's name sense has been absolute shit lately, like Lander tokens and Warp, which guarantee those mechanics can never show up again outside of sci-fi when they could have went with Surveyor and Blink.
>>96863957>not have Ninjutsu in a set where half the characters are explicitly ninjasthis is just bizarre , wtf are they thinking just run the new sneak concurrently.
>>96863991Too confusing, having two near identical mechanics in the same set.
>>96863991>Transformer UB>mechanic isn't named "Transform"
>>96864037That shit was badly named too. They called it More Than Meets The Eye instead of, like, Roll Out
I don't like the art on a single one of the new Lorwyn shocklands, regular or special.
>>96864037That's a legal thing Transformers has to do to protect its brand name, not anything to do with Magic.
>>96864215>Magic the Gathering>Gathering isn't a mechanic>by default you can't gather magic (mana), they disappear as phases end
>>96864215I for one look forward to seeing the immense amount of confusion and mess that results from years of Wizards initially printing 1 run of cards from an IP they can never touch again due to licensing and branding
>>96864240why would that cause confusion and mess?and of all the things to make this weird comment on, why did you pick responding to something about Transformers, which Hasbro owns?
>>96864110>>96864110>>96864110
