Yeah, Valgavoth isn't a threat to all universes like the Phyrexian Invasion; he's a threat you could theoretically be afflicted with in any universe because he can create a door to Duskmourn anywhere.

Though in practical terms he's really only preying on retarded people that go through a door that magically appeared somewhere in their house with no explanation. He's basically laying a bunch of bear traps across the multiverse and waiting for suckers to step on them.

I would go through a door if one suddenly appeared in my house. Stop pretending you wouldn't.

How much does your LGS charge for constructed events? Is it the same for every format?
>>
>>97001110
The thing with ghosts in Duskmourn is that they're stuck in the purpose/emotion they had when they died. For some that's protectiveness, peace or similar but most don't die that calm.
And while you're pretty resilient, more then your average human, Val can still use his human agents to catch you even if he can't directly touch you. All those screaming tortured souls in the Speed Demons' cars must have gotten there somehow, for one.

where exactly is this house located? Please tell me it's in some slum on ravnica or something, it would be so funny
>>
>>97001275
The House is a plane. Essentially, Valgavoth was bound in a house by its summoners. It can't escape the house per the terms of its contract, so it simply grows the house with magic until it swallows literally everything else in the plane. Now he's ran out of space and is using the Omenpaths to lure more food inside.

See I think grudge is excessively over-explanatory, but loxodon’s is just overloaded with so many descriptors and modifiers in such a small space that it makes the sentence hard to follow, like >>97002247 said.
If I had to take a stab at rewording it, maybe something like
>A single drop of glistening oil can stain even the most stalwart soul.
I think it’s fine to leave it up to the reader to infer that loxodon are righteous by nature.

Through the Omenpaths is Temu dogshit you dumb Fleemposting redditor. OM1 is proof positive that Universes Within died years ago. It deserves to be replaced by rights holders who give half a shit about their IPs.
>>
>>97002830
Universes Within was only launched recently, and so far it seems to be fairly successful. It's surprising that there's far more hype in the magic community for original magic ip like Fleem then there is for a supposedly high value IP that Hasbro was willing to sacrifice digital's consistency with paper for.
And consider the actual art I posted. Is this not good art? Does this art not look better than its UB equivalent?

And magic has had fat brown dykes in it for around a decade. If you didn't like them, why didn't you quit when Kaladesh came out?

in this case it was actually a weird generic goblin replaced with an attractive androgynous anime boy. one who seems to be involved in some kind of lore-relevant research, no less. of all the OM1 original characters, the only one that I think has any chance of showing up in future products is Druneth.(a somewhat slim chance, for that matter)
that's cherry picked, of course -- the other 100 spider-mans trended mostly in the opposite direction. but you did reply to a pic of Druneth, so...

When the metagame is a rancid shitfest of uninteractable Eldrazi land destruction decks, turn 3 Lurrus decks, and Jund Alchemy/Commander product tribal, who would want to play? You can queue for an hour and you'll run into maybe one person still just trying to play Yawg in 2025.

>>97003253
No one even plays Energy anymore, and I know how to beat Eldrazi, you unranked nogames retard, just play a linear turn 3 aggro/combo deck. That's not the point. The point is it's a dead format no one wants to play, as evidenced by the queue times and wild MMR disparities.

Yugioh wanker here. I'd like to get into Magic since the locals aren't far enough on the spectrum as me to actually play Yugo, so commander is all that's available.

I managed to acquire a borderline playworthy deck for Yugo for 40$ since the only thing that costs a lot there is a few generic staple cards like Ash. Looking at many new Magic cards that are supposedly for new players cost a fortune for little effect (especially with the FF-obsessed weebs buying out all the new boosters).

Are there some borderline playable decks that don't cost your 401k to actually acquire? Bonus if it's anything vampire or dinosaur related.

To answer your question seriously, no.
MtG currently is pinballing from one t0 meta to the next and all decks are $200+ where the expensive card(s) is/are the central engine you need to run a full playset of. Even Pauper, the format designed to be populated exclusively by cheap cards, costs $80 to play now.

For Commander, the answer of "Can I play on a budget?" depends on "How long have your opponents been playing?"
>Brand-new
You can pick up a precon and play basically anything against them, because they're also likely playing precons. Budget is very doable here.
>A little bit of experience
The sourspot you get people pouring $1600 into casual decks and treating it like shitty Vintage (MtG version of Traditional). All they're thinking about is making their decks win more except they're so shit at the game it's not even an actual competitive experience. It's generally them trying to tutor an overloaded draw engine and if you negate it their whole deck crumbles so it's more akin to hoping your opening hand has Cosmic Cyclone for Mystic Mine. Budget is very hard to make work here.
>A lot of experience
You're back to people playing jank on purpose because they realize that most $50 cards instantly make the game miserable. Budget is doable here.

I used to be able to pay 18 dollars at my LGS one (1) time every new set release for Prerlease, then proceed to coast on prize packs for the rest of FNMs, and built / upgraded most of my decks off that alone plus trading and store credit. 100% of my support for my LGS was just buying snacks and sodas and sleeves every week.

Nowadays, Draft/Sealed is so ludicrously expensive, even for regular sets, unfun and repetitive with basically every format being the fucking same, it isn't even worth it to do that. The game's fucking dead man. Time is money, and when a game is so shit that I don't even want to spend my time FOR FREE to play it, you know something is wrong.

Going back to draft Return to Ravinica, then coming back to standard is really eye-opening. The power creep with creatures now is fucking INSANE. There are far, far too many 2 and 3 drops that just swing the game wildly if you didn't hold the mana open for instant speed removal, and still generate significant value on etb unless that removal is a counter spell. No 2 drop should be able to immediately leave behind a 1/1 flier if you answer it with anything but a counterspell. It's insane. Playing against aggro decks probably feels so much worse because any format where spells generate faster value is great for an aggro deck. By turn 2 you have to pick which of their pushed creatures to answer, both of which wither kill you next turn or shart out a billion tokens. It's getting so bad that we'll soon need a 2 mana removal that says "distribute 4 -1/-1 counters between up to two target creatures.

They have to slow it down, it's making standard way too fast. Even limited feels super swingy.
>>
>>97004908
I play tons of limited. Usually the optimal strategy is to take 15 1-2 drops, one or two bigger creatures and compliment it with removal and combat spells.

It could really only work as a lair. There’s no shortage of touhou girlies to make into cards but by the very nature of the setting it would have to be a legendary heavy set. Otherwise you’d have to do nonsense like printing the mini-Hakkero 3 times in non-legendary variants or something.
Anyway, Rinnosuke artifact deck when?
>>
>>97005086
It would necessarily be heavy on the legends unless you restricted it to specific games, but there's plenty of room for generic humans, youkai, spirits, demons and such, as well as artifacts and enchantments. And that's before getting into Spell Cards and whatever you'd do to implement them.

Similar to ygo, you usually get your feet wet with a precon and then move on to something constructed.
Not to get too into the weeds on c*mmander because this place pisses and shits itself if you mention it.
Play some deck that's mono white weenies.
Mono color means your landbase is mostly basics, thus cheap.
You get access to some of the best spot removal and boardwipes. You can hit basically anything.
Weenies are all about their effects and then you use them for other purposes. Feels very ygo in play pattern. They're also cheap in mana and money.
A lot of these mono white commanders do have a large pricetag on them but mtg (more specifically commander) is proxy friendly. Hell, take a yugioh card art and slap it on an existing card then get that printed as a proxy.

Pro tip: /edhg/ is a useless and contrarian cesspit. You will not find anything useful outside the OP resources. People just use the thread to bitch about shit that never happened and to yell at strawmen posts that are likely samefags. At which point any ask for help will get buried under a wall of garbage posts. The thread moves too fast. You'd probably be better off asking for help in /ygo/ than /edhg/ for decklist help.

>They recently released the land cycle to historic and the format is fine
I am in favor of unbanning artifact lands but I don't think this is the argument you should make in favor of it, it's like saying wrenn & 6 is fine to unban in legacy because it's completely fine in modern

I've always wondered why Blue Sun's Zenith doesn't really depict the Seat of the Synod very faithfully compared to the rest of the cycle but I just realized it might be depicting the INSIDE of the structure

Came back to the game after a decade (last played in Battle for Zendikar) and the cards feel kinda different to me. Did they change card stock? They feel rougher and thinner than I remember.

Good news is that you don't need to get crazy pills.
Bad news is that you're correct that the quality/QC is worse.
In my experience it's a mixed bag, as if the cards were produced by very different manufacturers and materials despite being the same set.
>Go to ATLA prerelease
>Packs inside the kit have cards that feel 'sandy'/rough, lighter cardstock, and darker ink
>Packs for finishing from a booster box look and feel more normal but are still a bit off than others from the past

Been watching videos and reading threads about ALTA's prerelease performance, and from what I've heard, most stores had a pretty good prerelease, but people didn't buy as many packs outside prerelease as they usually do. Is that also true for any of you here?

It's probably not going to be helpful but I've never seen anybody offer printing on a suitable stock for what you want. It's either vellum or PVC sheets. Both of which I don't think you're going to want.

Big cube player here.
I enjoy making set cubes, i.e. cubes that simulate the original draft environment of a set or block.
Right now, I have Beta and Outlaws of Thunder Junction.
The Beta one is nice, but it's weird and janky by design which is off putting to people that normally don't play limited to begin with.
What is a set from around 2003-2008 that would be good to play in limited? I was thinking 7th edition, but I don't want to pick one that is like infamously bad for limited or something.
I'll probably make one of Magic 2013 too, as I have heard that is a good limited environment, and it was before MTG went wokeslop.

WOTC doesn't give a fuck and players who do care have grown hoarse and are tired of complaining about it. Most players also aren't as autistic about it or don't know it could be better is likely the other reason. As soon as it goes in a sleeve the feel doesn't exist and the thickness becomes less prevalent.

Same here, played heavily around the early 2000s and coming back now it is wild what has come out. It almost feels like a different game with the same rules. The games seem a lot faster without and somehow less luck based. I seem to remember most even matches came out to who could topdeck better, but that might be my poor memory.

Not going to lie though, I am having a ton of fun between drafting and commander. Commander back then was a thing I had heard about on the internet, but could never find or convince anyone to actually try despite having a lot of cardshops and players in my town.

FF Already released.
The only other thing it absolutely would have been is LotR, but they bastardized it beyond belief and didn't get a single cent from me. I would have thrown wads of cash at WotC if they were as faithful with LotR as they were FF. Sadly, retards who don't respect it consoomed on my behalf so it doesn't matter to WotCs bottom line.
I can't think of a single other IP out there I'd easily give money for regarding UB.

YOU.
>>
Is this the best restless land to earthbend?
>>
>>97007283
Eldraine is pretty "generic" (intentionally so) and adventures are pretty neat. I reverse my judgment and think you should lean into the adventures instead.
>>
>>97007362
I might prefer Prairie for the cheap anthem effect. for cheating a restless land using earthbending, I think what you want to be looking for is
1. high activation cost, which is
2. mostly invested in the attack trigger rather than the stats for the land, and also
3. relevant colors (ie green +1)

you're skipping the 5 mana activation cost for the Vinestalk which is nice but a lot of that value goes into generating the 5/5 imo. With Prairie, you're skipping less mana (4 instead of 5) but getting more of an effect out of your hasted land attacking if you have a built-up board so I think it's a stronger plan overall.

they both seem stronger than Cottage and Ridgeline though

I physically can't be hyped anymore, there's just too many sets coming out too fast, I cannot keep up
to put things in perspective: I'm still looking at DFT rares like they're brand new cards, and they came like out 6 sets ago

at this rate, I'll only start seriously engaging with TLA cards by the time star trek comes out
>>
>>97007708
I am eexcited, there are a lot of different draft decks I'm hoping to try out.
>>97007756
map tokens are strong ... it's not in green though. the only white earthbending card is pretty weak and there are no blues. you'd have to do some gymnastics for this.
>>
>>97007708
I have my reservations about how the set is going to look in limited. In prerelease it sure seemed like some variation of allies/earthbend aggro leading to massive stalled boards was the norm. Some were UW, other were GW, others even splashed other colors, but all of them just felt like playing mirror matches to me. But maybe with draft people will be able to explore other strategies more but man prerelease was a slogfest.

WHO COULD HAVE EVER PREDICTED THIS
>>
>>97007870
I think firebending is going to be way stronger in draft, both in a low-to-the-ground burn/aggro version featuring picrel, and a midrangier Rakdos version that uses the Firebending to cheat out clue costs and instant speed removal. It's the high-synergy, low-individual-power kind of strategy that works better in draft than sealed. I also think Lessons.deck is going to be a thing
>>
>>97007905
not many people feel like brewing, testing, and acquiring mtgo cards for the mere seven days between the bans and avatar release. It would have been a good idea to ban Kaito if they had made these bans three months ago... yknow... when they should have... but as-is I think it's fine. I'd take long odds that Dimir's meta share goes down in the next two weeks.

Spoiling in case.
Nobody seems to like eldraine I guess, which is why I didn't want to say it to start.
I might be reworking this to an adventure battlebox then.
Debating if I want to add thetowns to it, but rather than them being a land they act more like a lotus petal and can only be cast from exile (still entering tapped) or they do nothing from adventure and serve only to pad your count of things on adventures.

which are you claiming isn't remotely close to playable? the entire Simic deck in the first place?
or the 2 drop that brings your jackal counter from 2 to 3, ramps you two if you have an elf on board, adds a body to the board, and lets you sink a gorillion mana into Tyvar's ability?

I might try it instead of Cori Mountain, but Mountain gives it grinding power vs Control while the red mana does next to nothing. Also, will enter tapped more often than Mountain.
>>
>>97008729
>Also, will enter tapped more often than Mountain
that's what I meant by "squeezing it in l", ie replacing some nonbasics with basics. I think maybe you don't prefer Multiversal Passage to 2 mountains 2 plains in such a fast 2 color deck in a meta where presumably your own life total is not completely irrelevant. but desu you don't even have that much going on at instant speed so maybe I wouldn't add the palace even after cutting the Passages

I'd honestly rather just squeeze in more Cori Mountains or Encampments if that's the case.

I prefer a mana base that bricks as rarely as possible though. Just a me thing, I can easily see a list including more utility lands.

I think this game will actually die unless a lot of red cards are banned across multiple formats. This is too retarded that red decks can kill you at instant speed by sticking a single 1 drop.
