>>96876640I can think of a reason...https://files.catbox.moe/0sszgd.webm

>>96876400>this obsessed retard is STILL running his joke into the ground You are unbelievably mad. Like psychotically rent free obsessed and seething that someone like me could care so much about the health of a color in this game that you go out of your way to make bad jokes like this every day.Stay malding, retardicon. Mono white is still weak and in need of powerful cards for standard, as evidenced by years of nonwhite bans and the current state of standard. I mean goodness, what a kike you are.
nearly every single format being trash is a huge part of why I think PIGS EAT SLOP commander has taken over the game to such a degree. >standardlol lmao, they print broken bullshit like oko and vivi and then let them dominate the meta long enough to milk money before finally banning it when the next set's pushed garbage is finally out>modernliterally turned into a fucking rotating format by modern horizons. something retarded like 15 of the top 20 most played creatures across the format are all printed in modern horizons. >legacymodern 2.0 at this point, with huge overlap in cards because broken shit goes directly into both formats; oh wow izzet prowess except you play a mana base that costs three grand, how exciting!>pioneerdead format in paper, zero support from wotc, if you wanna play shit shit you gotta play Arena >historicbasically turned into modern lite since all the modern horizons shit gets printed directly into it, also has alchemy garbage added to it>alchemynobody plays magic the gathering to fuck with hearthstone bullshitThat leaves Pauper and Penny Dreadful as the only 60 card formats worth playing, one of which is essentially exclusive to MTGO.
>>96875999SEX with Ambitious Farmhand.
>What is your favorite white creature?
Oko returns for Lorwyn.
>>96876609My store has multiple one piece constructed events firing weekly, and I live in a small city. My old city was bigger, and I could literally play one piece standard every day of the week if I wanted. Outside of Nebraska, do any stores even play non edh constructed magic?
>>96876406still playable
>>96876925It's all so tiresome
>>96876925Official MtG nipple tassels? That's some bold merchandising!
>>96876925Good, he's fun
>>96876925I'm never forgiving him.
>>96876737make sure to include colorshift cards from planar chaosalso monoRed Control with redirect and copy spells ant taking control of opponent stuff could be a fun add
>>96876902dont forget $30 Vintage in the "actually playable" list
>>96876609>>96876945>Outside of Nebraska, do any stores even play non edh constructed magic?That's the "success" a lot of them are targeting I think, capitalising on the sorry state of MTG constructed. Like, I've heard from a few areas that their standard scenes switched to Lorcana because it being a retard mutant knockoff makes it "close enough".
>Mtg social media posts have devolved into doomposting about standard, spiteposting about how the players deserve the hybrid mana change plus hoping it ruins commander because "commander ruined all the other formats" (apparently it wasn't WotC doing that), and some spoilerposters trying to find some silver lining to everything going on right nowHoly shit the community is spiraling out of control.
>>96877273good
>>96877273The target audience of wotc don't play this game. Whining about the gameplay does nothing. Formats don't matter.Record profit baby.
>>96876737I toyed with the idea of a loose R/W defender matters theme
>buy collection off of ebay for ~$1000 because the images have a mox diamond, two horns of greed, three anvils of bogardan, and a bunch of other mid-high value shit I can offload on EDH guys>immediately after winning the bid, guy DM's me and anxiously says he didn't expect the price to get that high, and that once I get it we should work out "some sort of partial refund if I'm not happy."wtf is going on here? scammer with a conscience? Or a guy who hasn't checked mox diamond's price in 10 years?
>>96877273>steak.pnghaha did you save this from me?
>>96877307I did, but I also like the show.

>>96876925I wonder how aware Planeswalkers are about the effect of the Aurora and how it affects them, especially after they leave the Plane. Same applies to Omenpath visitors.

>>96876609Riftbound will probably die in 2 years just like Legends of Runeterra did
>>96877386H-howHow the fuck is a drain 3 etb and maybe drain 3 more over the course of a few turns stronger than a guaranteed once-per-turn drain 3
>>96877510You don't live long enough for that 2 drop every turn drain to matter outside of cummander, sweaty.Drain on ETB makes extra copies in hand not completely DOA as well meaning it's significantly more viable in 60 card.Not to mention it's a 1 drop.

SLOP FOR THE SLOP GOD!
>>96877372Planeswalker's Guide said it mostly only really affected natives but Oko does seem to have two 'forms' here so who knows. They COULD retcon him as being from Lorwyn but his current backstory doesn't really fit that.
>>96877778
>>96877494Runeterra died because the game designers were retards that hated interaction and released several cards that pretty much let people play by themselves and win with barely any strategy. They also removed game modes, including their draft mode equivalent to focus on their casual roguelite singleplayer game and that was the last blow.Completely mismanaged.
>>96877494Riftbound Panglacial Wurm'd itself in the FIRST SET it's not going to last long
>>96877898how so?
>>96877902Go check the FAQ it's got a whole section just for it lol
>>96877909Shit forgot the image
>>96877909>>96877913>lollomao, even
>>96877898>Panglacial Wurm'd Qrd?
>>96877913this does not seem complicated at all?
>>96876400You are boring.
>>96876640"The first time I move each turn, you may ready something else thats exhausted">"something else thats exhausted">benisHmm
>>96877931Well, so does Panglacial Wurm, but it turns out it is in fact very complicated and they're currently trying to errata into a functional state.
>>96877929
So, is high tide getting banned in pauper or what?
>>96877273Deserved. When you actually SHIT on the customers plate you can’t expect they don’t punch your face. Specially with this kind of diarrhea.
>>96877960Is it really all that much of a problem currently? I thought Terror was still king
>>96877960given the current state of the format, I'd say it's unlikely but not impossible
>>96877273Good, good... let the hate flow through you
>>96877979I feel like "STOP THE SLOP" is the sort of thing that could take off if it was shilled right. Everyone hates the Spiderman and TMNT UBs even if they don't agree on whether UB as a whole is bad. Rather than focus on what specifically should be done with UB, we should focus on uniting everyone behind the notion that the current state of things is bad and needs to be changed.
>>96877913>>96877942You just have to make it so the player has to reveal the card before casting. There you go.
>>96878034Reminder that EDH cut closer to Garfield's true vision than any regular format ever did. It's just a bunch of people having fun with interesting cards instead of sweating to win.
>>96878031That is already how the card works. The problem has never been that, the problem is that it results in illegal game states because you can't take back alterations to the library.
>>96878034>refusing to make space for casual enjoymentdo these people not know what kitchen table is?
>>96878034wrongEDH was a casual format and competitive players made cEDH, and WotC started printing cards for the format when they saw it gaining traction
>>96878045the original vision was a deck with 30 Black Lotuses and 30 Plague Rats, it was fucking retarded
>>96878034the casual enjoyment was in casual kitchen table magic with whatever you had on hand, then Draft, then Standard was meant to be approachable and low power. by making standard such a power creeped format with seven fucking sets a year and refusing to ban shit to drive sales they killed the format. Then they started printing shit specifically for EDH which also negatively affected it, but since it's already a joke it's more resilient to stupid shit since it's like pissing into the ocean
Are there any fun budget decks for Legacy? I want to jump back into one of the Eternal formats but I don't feel like coming back to Pauper yet. I used to play a silly Mono-B Hand Disruption deck in Legacy that cost ~15tix. Are there any whacky but playable lists I should try?
>>96878050The original vision was that players wouldn't have comprehensive knowledge of the cards and would have to find ways to respond to threats they've never seen before. He liked the notion of being able to get screwed in your opening hand because (at the time) it prevented people from being able to reduce the game to a flowchart.Magic was literally created for casuals from the beginning.
>>96878070>fun budget decks for Legacyyou can play burn for a hundred bucks and beat people playing $3,000 decks thats about it.if you want a good eternal format play Pauper or $30 Value Vintage
>>96878087Well that is retarded. The idea of a card game where you're not supposed to bother getting better at it and learning the cards is idiotic.
>>96878070>I used to play a silly Mono-B Hand Disruption deck in Legacy that cost ~15tix. Are there any whacky but playable lists I should try?I think that's still pretty much the only thing you can reasonably play on a MTGO budget in legacy: dark ritual into disruption and threatsthere's also burn but you're completely at the mercy of your opponent not knowing how to play against it
>>96878096It was the first of its kind so you can't really blame them for not anticipating how players would eventually try and break the game since there was no previous examples to go off
>>96878034No. What we should have done is fucking gatekeep harder to erase and contain OUT casuals.Cummander is the result of don’t do this job right and be negligent in the gatekeeping.
>>96877913>cards refering to themselves in the first personPanglacial Wurming aside I don't like this way of referencing a card.
>>96877960>nobody likes playing against it>nobody likes playing with it>strong, but not strong enough that people will force themselves to play it in order to get tournament resultsAt this point high tide is almost an non-entity in pauper. I'd still ban it just because nobody likes it.
>>96878133yeah! I hate it too
>>96878127Other way around, casuals didn't gatekeep your asses out hard enough and now you think you own the place. Spike's going to eat the slop no matter how much he bitches about it because the alternative is not being competitively viable.
>>96878133It's how they did it in legends of Runeterra too. Wasn't a fan there either and makes some effects harder to interpret than they should be
>>96878152>Spike's going to eat the slop no matter how much he bitches about it because the alternative is not being competitively viable.Kek. I'll bet anything WotC has been banking on that ever since FIRE was created.
>>96878047Just don't fuck up and pay attention.
>>96878169>>96878133Well, in Runeterra, it was all automated since it was a video game, so the "this card" was almost just flavor. I agree that it's not the best way to do it in a physical format that you have to keep track of effects and such by yourself.
>>96877212a few colorshifted cards are definite includes, like Pyrohemia, Keen Sense and Harmonize to support the Gruul value/control thing. thanks! >>96877296definitely enough cards to build that, I'll look into it.>>96877369I was already looking at this exact theme last night and it's so prohibitively difficult to build lol. fun fact: there are 620 cards with "lifelink" in their Oracle text, and exactly ONE of those cards is in Izzet identity (and more than one color), see pic. it doesn't even work in an Izzet deck because you need a Plains lol.I think I can still make it work by including multiple copies of Staff of the Flame Magus and Staff of the Mind Magus as the main enablers and then making sure every other color has literally zero lifegain cards. then I can rely on colorless "lifegain matters" cards for the payoffs, since no other color pair will be able to use them, like Well of Lost Dreams and Aetherflux Reservoir. but I'm not sure if it's enough and would appreciate any more tips here>>96877686>>96877778>>96877877this definitely works. I can also include Prodigal Sorcerer, and including Alpha cards is always nice. there are some pretty playable Max Speed cards in Simic from Aetherdrift, too, which should serve as decent payoffs here. thanks
>>96878219>play Wurm from the library with Milkin/Selvala/Chromatic Sphere>don't produce enough mana and can't play Wurm >therefore, everything needs to be taken back>but cards were already milled/drawnyou can see how that would cause problems, right.
>>96878479glad I could help. mind bomb is probably my favorite "color pie break"
>>96877913>you may cast this card for its miracle cost if you reveal it during scrying or surveilingwack
>>96878034It was ruined by Wizards printing cards designed with it in mind, just like Modern
>>96878096It was designed as a low effort pastime for DnD players to kill time between games, nobody really expected it to become a big thing early on.
>>96878479Crypt of the Eternals and Swiftwater Cliffs are niceKraken's Eye and Dragon's Claw as well as the staves.
>>96878219This is what people say about Yugioh's lack of fail to find rule, and it's equally stupid here. Game rules should be robust, if there's no way to handle a specific interaction, you've fucked up as a designer.
>>96878490DQ Panglacial Wurm player for being retard. Label BI Major. Next judge question.
>>96878764Yeah, as you've seen it's a bit of a problem card if the best way to deal with it being played is a DQ.
>>96878490>mindslaver my opponent>it turns out he's running panglacial wurm in his deck>get DQ'd because anon is a retard
>>96878842Meant for >>96878764
>>96878798I was more excited about this card until I learned that "rituel" is sorcery in french rather than instant.
>>96878842>Sees Panglacial Wurm>Tries to cast it with Selvala>Gets DQ'd
>>96878860My wife looking good
>>96878932>just be familiar with every stupid interaction that exists in the game or else you get DQ'dI thought we hated extra tedium and burden of knowledge here?
Anyone speak frog?
>>96878984firebending 1exhaust 3: put +1/+1 counter on it. copy the next lesson you play this turn
>>96878984We have the technology!
>>96878860This is decent. Sucks about the timing restriction but what else is new.
>watched a prof video for the first time in years>its full of cool formats Ive never played>start brewingwait when did this guy become based?
>>96878860>June gets to be a legendary creature, but our lord and savior Chit Sang doesn't It's not fair bros
>>96879028Prof has always been one of the more based mainstream MtG content creators.
>>96879028He had a massive meltdown about a year ago I think. He is still trying to play nice but his unscripted videos are full of hate towards WotC, sometimes he slips his personal views like that one time when he called drug-abusing degenerates... well, degenerates.
>>96877871Oko is a faerie but he has shapeshifting powers so it could go either way.
>>96879099>Oko isn't actually affected by the Aurora he's just committing to the bit
>>96877317This card was added late in design so they couldn't make a special token for it so they used the Inscription token for its effect.
>>96878399>Ward Waterbending 4
>>96877913Using "I" and "Me" in the wording makes this sound completely retarded
>>96879343Dumb colors, he was easy RB.
>>96879101Honestly that'd track, or it could be something like "he's a faerie even if not a Lorwyn one so he's still affected".
I will now play with UB cards.
>>96878034commander taught me that casuals are a million times worse than even the faggiest angle shooting giga spikes honestly
At least they're keeping Jet's war crimes.
Also this art is... Weird, to me? Like I dunno how else to put it. It just looks slightly strange.
>>96879408ToT
>>96879424
>>96879424Which one?
>>96879415I'm sorry, conditionless ld?
>>96879424>>96879430Looks like a Yu-Gi-Oh card artwise
>>96879370Nah, Jet is many things, but he's arguably not really selfish in that way, he just unpersons collateral damage. He's very much white in the fanatic devotee to a cause way, and clearly red in how utterly reckless he is.
>>96879435Yeah it's existed recently in red here and there. Always with a replacement land though, unless it's destroying a nonbasic.
>>96879435>may search their library for a basic land
>>96878984Should have been white lorewise
>>96879450This set does have non-replacing LD for nonbasics at least. I assume they're a bit more liberal with it given earthbending.
>>96879435How new are you?
>>96879408uoh
>>96879408on her chin... is that...?
>>96879461Lately there's been mostly "non-basic".
>>96879477is that sweat from all the fire she's bending? yes anon, she's a diligent student ready to learn
>>96875967How badly would it fuck up magic if you could play any number of lands each turn? Lets just say for sake of argument that any lands after the first enter tapped.
>>96879498we may never know
>>96879438He's pretty manipulative though. He frames that old dude as an assassin and he deceived Aang and Katara into filling up the reservoir, knowing they wouldn't agree to it if they knew what his real plan was.
>>96879504Wotc are such cowards for making every card balanced around casual commander no bad fee-fees allowed. I want mean shit back in the game. I want sire of insanity effects on ten different creatures, make the uncommons too. I want casual players to have a bad time.
>>96879438I'd disagree, he's extreme ruthless and manipulates people constantly. He's very much a "the ends justify the means" person, which is very B.
>>96879577>I want casual players to have a bad timeGee, I wonder why the overwhelming majority of players don't play any competitive formats.
>>96879438he doesn't have to be selfish, he's manipulative and understands that his actions have consequences but doesn't care as long as it furthers his agenda
>>96879415isn't there a porn comic with that name?
>>96877177>YGO is too on rails for me to like it, but it being so on rails is how they can easily print structure decks that are just a few staple interaction pieces away from being competitive. to do that in Magic you need to actually make a good deck first and at that point might as well return to the old "champion decks" serieson rails?
>>96879712NTA but YGO decks are almost preconstructed and integrated into sets design. You don't have to brainstorm and brew decks like you do in MtG. Instead, you get a new set and it's designed for you to build a very specific list with those cards. Imagine getting a new Innistrad set and it's design is all focused on providing you cards to build a BR Vampires deck and that's it. YGO is also a turn 1 game.
>>96879590>>96879557>>96879689It's not incorrect to say, but I think him being a reckless fanatic is more core to his character than him being a manipulative asshole. He's doing it in an end justifying the means sort of way, which is very white.
Anyway here's Yangchen's Saga.
>>96879823And Yangchen herself. Kyoshi soon to come I'm sure.
>>96879823Designed expressly for commander, solid 4 for 1 there, worthless in every other format
Also another Appa.
>>96879844I mean, it's up to, so your opponents can just not choose anything. But politics and whatnot I guess. Basically just a more expensive, more restrictive version of this with extra stuff added on.
>>96879823>starting with you, each playerThere's only me and my opponent?
>>96879851It's always correct to remove your opponents engine pieces if able, regardless of level of play
>>96879823My wife
>>96879712Basically all decks are tribal decks. You pick whatever "archetype" you want, then fill in the rest of your deck with generic staples. See the world championship: https://ygoprodeck.com/tournament/yu-gi-oh-world-championship-2025-3425#1 is running the "vanquish soul" archetype, if you look through the decklist you'll see a bunch of cards that specify synergies with other "vanquish soul" cards. But there's not enough strong "vanquish soul" cards, so you fill in the other slots with generic strong effects and in this case some cards from the "k9" archetype. Compare this to MtG deckbuilding, where there's also tribal decks that jam all the good elves or goblins or whatever, but you have much more flexible deckbuilding. The bogeyman of Vivi Cauldron for example relies on Vivi and Agatha's Soul Cauldron, which synergize very well together because of how their mechanics work, not because they refer to each other by name. They could be played in different decks, and it takes some consideration about how good they synergize.
>>96879873Too bad she's a rug muncher
>>96879845>IP doesn't have enough named characters to fill out the mandated 250 Legendary creatures per set>Do we just... print fewer Legendaries?>NO. We just have multiple cards for each!The degree to which this game is dead can not be measured with modern tools.
>>96879866but have you considered that my feelings would get hurt if you removed my commander?that's -10 points, you know
>>96879891Shouldn't have played omnath, fag
>>96879577This card is banned in Legacy
>>96879823>Cummander slop carsYawn…
>>96879890>Do we just... print fewer Legendaries?You would need an UB property without many named characters.
>>96879969reread that post, in full
>>96879890They already printed multiple versions of Legendaries in EoE, is their new way of showing characters growing through the story
>>96879976No.
>>96879343>>96879370Eh, I think RW fits for the cycle of two color uncommon hybrid legendaries of more minor characters. Plus, R/W is the most Rebels color combination, and one thing Jet definitely is is a Rebel.I mean, let's look at the cycle so far:GW SukiWU SokkaUB HamaBR RG Uncle IrohWB Hei Bei (cause it's a fucking panda, har har)UR BG Long FengRW JetGU Guru PathikNot sure who the BR or UR ones will be- Mai COULD be one of them, since there's definitely the intention of building a Grixis Fire Lord Azula deck with both Mai and Ty Lee in the 99, but I'm kind of blanking on characters that don't already have cards. I suppose Zhao could be a good fit for B/R (since the jumpstart version of him is mono red) but honestly the most U/R characters I can think of are the mechanist, who isn't important enough to get more than one card, and Sokka, who not only already has a UR card, but has three standard cards already.Oh shit- Combustion man doesn't have a card yet! He'd be solid in U/R! Make him an artifact creature too while you're at it!

>>96880032>flash>flying>remand
>>96880032set's almost fully spoiled by now, right?
>>96880124hot
>>96880124It's honestly going to feel weird hearing "I'll attack with my land for [whatever the fuck damage due to proliferate shenanigans]" and "I'll block with my land" when the set comes out
>>96880160Only for newfriends. Hell, for more recent stuff WAR Nissa and faceless haven were very popular cards.
>>96880124But land cannot attack.
>>96879983One card of a legendary nobody cares about is ok. Two cards is cringe.
>>96880160There's like a hundred cards that turn lands into creatures nigga
>>96879601Because they're fucking gay?
>>96880236I checked the whole CR real quick and it doesn't say that anywhere
>>96880179>>96880284And that's fair enough. It's just that there's going to be an influx of it rather than a novelty occurrence. Be honest, when was the last time you remember someone hitting you with a land?
>>96880301>302.5. Creatures can attack and blockLand cannot attack. Unless it's also a creature.
>>96880315We have multiple manlands in standard, anon, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>96880315 yesterday in my LGS I nearly died to a Soulstone Sanctuary
>>96880294No, it's because the game is more fun without someone actively trying to make it unfun. We call these people shitters.
where is the "fuck vivi&cauldron" card?
>>96880315it still lives on in my heart...
>Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. Why?
>>96880576FIN just got mogged
>>96880567This would have been good 7 years ago.
>>96880559Because the Air Nomads were pussies and the Water Tribes were too isolated. The war was mostly just the Fire Nation stuck in a forever war with the Earth Kingdom, with a bit of opportunistic genocide on the side. Only the Avatar could decisively tip the scales.
western anime reigns supreme
>>96879415MHayashi bros we are so back
>>96880024Kek I was right
I like the art on this one
>>96880728are we? he embraced the dark side in his last videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKw0ye-37Oc
>>96878034i remember when Modern had budget decks that could fight the top dogs and win, motherfucking Merfolk Tribal kicking Splinter Twin and Jund ass left and right.
>>96877217$30 vintage is just "land of rejected FIRE cards". Insane that anyone can complain about any format and then turn around to play that dumpster fire
>>96880852Now that I think about it, having a bunch of incidental clue tokens in the same set where they're doing convoke+improvise as a major mechanic is maybe a bad idea
>>96880852preeety nice ngl
>>96880894The whole reason they're both in the set is because they synergize.
>>96880894The tokens are there exactly for the purpose of being used in waterbend costs anon
>>96880894>is maybe a bad ideait's an INTENTIONAL bad idea tho
>>96879757>YGO is also a turn 1 game.Do people find 1 turn games fun?
>>96880728Not that Red-based control would ever be viable in a Screaming Nemesis/Profts format, but we are really overdue for a good 5 mana sweeper in Red. It needs to deal 6 at a minimum because of how broken Annex and Riddler are.
>>96880965No, not really. It checks out tho, I have not met a single YGO player that would find YGO fun either.
Man, I fucking hate avatar so much right now.
Why does this guy suddenly struggle with killing things with smaller power?https://scryfall.com/card/m13/20/intrepid-hero
>>96880991Are you sure you don't just hate Magic?
>>96875483>yeah, 2 mana get an atraxa trigger is pretty stupid>>96875509>With how pushed modern etbs are it would still be insanely broken and lead to a bunch of dumb combosCould surprise deployment worrk for that stuff or is it too expensive?
>>96880996It's not that he struggles. He won't. He'll only face worthy foes. If you summon a hero in shining armor to kill some malnourished peasant he'll just refuse.
>>96880996They're small fries and thus he doesn't consider them worth killing.
>>96881001What an odd thing to say, yes I'm sure.
>>96881023Personally, every time I feel my hackles rise looking at these cards, I realize that I'm just mad at UB and current Magic in general. And thus I can't muster a pointed hatred towards Avatar itself.
>>96881055I've always hated avatar and it's shitty drawn out plot, it's shitty overly expressive characters and its completely unearned fanbaseI just now need to see it every day when previously I didn't have to
>>96880991cope and seethe c ucky

Still waiting for Meng.
shrine that does shrine things
>>96878860I remember having a crush on her as a kid, between her and Shego I blame cartoons for giving me an unhealthy attraction to evil women
>>96881184Yeah he's an opportunistic peasant, not a hero. Being less honorable is to be expected
>>96879370Boros is perfectly okay with suicide bombing
>>96880160were you asleep for the entirety of zendikar or somethingthis is the first time it's not an all-in finisher though since if they die or get exiled you get them back tapped.actually whats kind of interesting is that shit like Settle the Wreckage is TERRIBLE against mass earthbending because you're literally doubling your opponent's mana, the exiled lands come back on top of all the basics they're given
>>96881083It's a marvel that you made it through the Teen Titans years if that's what gets your goat
>>96881083how tf can a fanbase be unearned?
>>96881269Not like anyone's played Settle in years anyway
>>96881230He wasn't suicide bombing, he was just regular bombing civilians on both sides.
>>96881386Civilian is just a pansy word for future criminal
>Yugioh its getting better to the point Genesys locals was just pure fun i haven't feel since 2020welp , i am going to sell all my magic cards this dogshit company and game deserves nothing more from me Enjoy fortnite TCG noids
>>96881227he's still white aligned though?
>>96881491How is possible fucking yugioh is in better state than Magic, where things gone so wrong?
>>96881499Who's to say white creatures can't bully other people?
>>96881525Well, with all YGOs problems it never quite actually sold out its main playerbase, so there was someone to give a shit to fix it for.
>>96881491Yeah, same time same place tomorrow right?
Mai's card is kind of boring but I guess what else could she really do considering her thing is "she do fighting good".
>>96881589Not having reach is a flavor miss, but it's not a half bad card. Getting double strike on a prowess creature is powerful.
>>96881617She's also likely to have a second card if Ty Lee's any indicator (maybe also a Blue one for when she turns against Azula?) that'll be more flavourful.
I started playing Arena again, been away since Dominaria. Is standard worth playing? What is some FUN deck that's not too expensive on wildcards? RDWfags don't reply.
>>96881589really dislike that we ended up with exhaust and exert as two completely different mechanics with incredibly similar namesalso whats the fucking point of this being only once per game if it adds a permanent counter you wouldn't want to recast anyways. Is the theoretical combo of playing a character who can move counters around and then spending 3 mana a bunch to get multiple double-strike counters really worth such clunky design? Why isn't this shit just "3: Mai gains double strike for the rest of the game" if they were worried about that, or "3: put a double-strike counter on Mai"
>>96881635I think on some level it's just a flavour thing for Mai, she's always tired, so she has to exhaust herself to actually put in some fucking work.
>>96881627>Standard>Worth>Return to Magic There are so many wrongs in your post anon… But answering your question in the most honest way: Standard is GARBAGE, the main reason? Pic related
>>96881627>Is standard worth playing?no, it's quite possibly the worst it's ever been
>>96880567Curves from Voice of Victory. Doing 6 damage on turn 3 and getting 2 permanent ally tokens is nice. That said, its 2025 Standard, this play might probably not be as good but I may be wrong
>>96879430Weird seeing a card that's MORE anime than the source material
>>96879601That's true even when Wizards caters to the most casual of casuals
>>96880032>seven unique aang cards printedI don't know how they pulled this off, but I'm concerned how many unique cards are designed for each Turtles.
>>96879890In this set at least, each version represents the character from a different season so it kind of makes sense
Firebending mechanic feels off
>>96881685Only four are in the main set, one's a scene card for Commander players and two are only Jumpstart cards. And if you're gonna do multiple Aangs, four in the main set makes sense because there's one for each element.
>>96880160That was normal in Zendikar, Scars standard
>>96881692None of the bending mechanics are a super clean fit honestly.
>>96881647This fucking thing is the most broken card ever printed. It's disgusting. It should never have been made.
>>96881692Another anon mentioned that it would be a perfect flavor fit if manaburn still existed
>>96881692I think it's fine as a way of showing a "burst of fire power" when your fire nation creatures attack
>>96881627What's your expensive? Simic midrange is 38 rare and 8 mythic.
IF I SEE ANY OF YOU N'WAHs PLAY THAT AVATAR STANDSTILL IN PREMODERN I WILL PERSONALLY VOMIT BLOOD ALL OVER YOUR DECK!
>>96881712Airbending fits great, fire and earth are solid, water is the only one that's a big miss.
Avatar Standstill huh...
>>96882031Fire is on the lower end power level wise, since it inherently does nothing without other enablers.
I cant stand these new Avatar cards desu
>>96882065This cant be realI refuse to believe footfags are getting fetish cards
>>96882069>Spiderman and Mary Jane feet pics in SPM>Trainee feet pic in TLAWotC is run by footfags confirmed.
using art screenshots from the show is lazy
>>96882040>>96882006>it's real
What even is this. Why is this Blasphemous Act.
>>96882077>Spiderman and Mary Jane feet picsLiterally a nothingburger>avatarStraight up porn
>>96882042I was talking flavor, not power. Firebending rewarding being aggressive with power is pretty fitting.
>>96882114>B1: Water, Ch 3Season 1 episode 3. As I recall, that's when he fully grasps that his people were genocided and he loses it when he finds the skeletal remains of his mentor. He summons up a tornado in anger and grief.
These cards are hideous man…
>>96882086UB is lazy by nature
>>96882159Cool, why wasn't the skeletal remains the art they used instead of a blurry-ass photo of Aang being angry?
lol
>>96882159Isnt that a bit more chandras ignition than blasphemous act?
>ANOTHER UB>ANOTHER SHIT why are we controlled by the lowest common denominator?
>>96882006UB only landstill incoming
>>96882179Because they can't pick a good shot to save their lives and all the screenshots are blurry because supposedly the masters for the show were lost. Also Zhao killing the moon spirit seems like a more fitting scene for "Blasphemous Act".
>>96882188Yeh but blasphemous act is a commander staple so you've gotta give the piggies their slop
>>96879883That's Kyoshi. Yangchen has a thing with a waterbender in her novels.
>>96882006need a ub stasis as well so i can make the most offensive deck known to man
>>96882200everything went to shit when they took land destruction out of the core sets
>>96880600>an uncommon got mogged by a mythic
>>96882006Jokes on you I exclusively play UB printings in premodern decks.
>>96881589This card is going to fuck people up. Easy firebending dump for big output. The 3 toughness is also fucking wack on a prowess red creature like this.
>>96881685"A turtle in every pack!" wasn't a clear enough message for you?
>>96882312*hematemesis intensifies*
>>96882188Blasphemous act should've been the shot of Monk Gyatso's corpse and the mountain of dead firebenders around him. Fits a lot better with a pacifist being forced to kill
A third main set Iroh.
>>96882353I mean I guess this just doesn't read well at card size, but still.
>>96882353It would still be a low res screenshot but at least it would have been a better one.
>>96882359>>96882360yeah it would've still looked pretty bad at 420p or whatever it was in the show but at least every fan would know what that shot represents
>>96882355mardu pact gets another donate effect neat
>>96882160Not only are they ugly but the lack of border makes them impossible to tell what colour they're supposed to be from a glance. The FF ones had the exact same issue and these ones are somehow even worse!
>>96882360I'm glad that TMNT is doing comic covers instead of low res screenshots from the cartoons. I do however wonder what they'll do for Star Trek, using screnshots from the TV show would mean using photos of real people, which would be somewhat unprecedented for Magic.
>>96882428TMNT's doing broad 'source material' so we'll probably see some cartoon stills. Star Trek... Might just... Not do this.
>>96882428The comic covers from SPM also looked so much better than this that it's not even funny. As someone that likes keeping a little collection binder those comic cover bonus sheet cards were a silver lining in the shitpile that was SPM.
>>96882440Yeah, the Marvel Superheroes set is also bound to have some great comic book artwork in the bonus sheet. I'm hoping for at least one Alex Ross and at least one Jim Lee card.
Still baffled they're using screenshots instead of the artbook or other promo material
>>96882594Case in point
>>96882594The firelord portraits for example
>sweaty little girl and legendary surprise doublestrike slut>2 more years of monored raping everyone super freejust sell magic to the chinese already please
>>96882594>i cant believe my slop looks like slopIf quality were on the table, there would be no UB
>>96882594Or the fucking keyframes, hell, anything else would be preferable
>>96882711Wait these actually look sick, even as an avatar hater
>>96882746
>>96882594>Noooo my beloved franchise looks bad in this card game it shouldn’t be for starters!!Very sad uh?
>>96882785
>>96882793Just at a loss about the choices that were made, while having other preferable options at hand
>>96882438>so we'll probably see some cartoon stills.I really hope not. TMNT has more than enough comic covers to fill out a full sheet.On that topic, they could also do comic covers or even novel covers or movie posters for Star Trek cards. Anything but screenshots for the love of God.
>>96882065No way this is real
>>96882840It isn't.
>>96882840It is.
>>96882840It might be.
>>96882840I like eggs.
>>96882594Today I will remind them that they did custom traditional media paintings, not screenshots, for the Spongebob Squarepants release.
Why does every card revealed since SPM look so ASS? Did wotc get a massive budget cut to their design team??? And cards have felt like random mechanics just stapled together out of a sorting box. I'm not even joking, is hasbro about to implode or something?
>>96883023Record profits btw
>>96882817True, but the things people know about TMNT and thus would be more wanted for source material stuff would be the cartoons (I don't think they'd do the live action movies, maybe the recent animated ones), though Last Ronin'll probably see something alongside the OG comics and the IDW stuff probably.
I'm surprised they haven't done a cycle of mana rocks called "Mock Ruby," "Mock Sapphire," etc.
>>96882069I'm a footfag and I don't want feet anywhere near Magic
>>96883023Professionals don't want to work on Universe Beyond sets since they do get to retain rights to the art so Wotc is hiring amateur artist willing to work for 3000 dollars.
>>96881589>Exhaust
>>96881589>exhaustis there even a reason you would want to activate that twice besides the fringe case of counter removal?
>>96883577Needed an excuse to make this downside mechanic evergreen I guess
>>96883405GOOD. That just means more cheap slop for us piggies!!!
>>96881367tourists
>>96883577They need to remind you that Aetherdrift was a set
