Thread Question
The fact that I play only Pioneer on Arena fully f2p.
>>
Two friends of mine randomly started playing Magic a couple months ago. They have no knowledge of formats, metagames, lore, and they have no interest at all in any UB stuff. We play kitchet table casual together (with the worst decks you've ever seen), and casual commander whenever we want to play 3-player games.

This is the entire thing that keeps me interested in Magic these days. It's a lot of fun playing with people who aren't jaded about the game and have no idea how bad things are.

Lorwyn had explicit (fantastic) racism. There's no chance they didn't change them to the White Guilt-leaf.
>>
>>97148356
Planeswalker's Guide makes it pretty clear that the Lorwyn elves are still very much racist, they just mask it because they're no longer the overbearingly dominant power of the world. SOME might have gotten better but there's always exceptions (Rhys for example), most are still racist and just waiting for society to collapse so THEIR ideology can rise from the ashes.

I will, grudgingly, tolerate the original five nuwalkers, simply because their cards technically first appeared in the original Lorwyn. I won't be happy with it (and didn't Ajani die?) but I'll live with it as long as Lorwyn hasn't, overall, been Culturally Enriched.

It's so weird that Venser explicitly existed to ease us into the concept of nuwalkers, was generally well received, and then when the time came to use that good will they just cast him aside, replaced him with Jace and killed him for basically no reason I can determine. Jace looked cooler, I guess, but there's no reason you couldn't give Venser a cool cloak...

So that Omens of Chaos book had its back cover revealed, and the artist of said cover posted the image without the blurb and also giving names to the characters. The protagonist, Eula, is on the front, but we have Alandra (Jumpstart character, apparently Talrand's niece), Kequia, Teferi's granddaughter, Jamira, Angrath's daughter (they remembered he exists surprisingly) and Segante, who just seems to be entirely new like Eula.

There's one new Planeswalker in every universes within set though. I do think that depowering most PWs was a mistake.
>>
>>97149452
Yeah, only one, there used to be at least 3 every set. The whole desparking thing and turning them into Legendary creatures was all for the sake of Commander.
>>
>>97149452
The depowering was because they pussied out during War of the Spork and did fuck nothing with that. So to raise the stakes they had a shittily written mass depowering that should have happened during WAR but didn't so WAR was trash, and the current depowering is trash because it comes out of nowhere.
WotC honest to God writes like fucking children.
>>
>>97149370
To be fair, Splinter is Black despite being the good guy mentor character. Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Man with the symbiote are also Black.
There's also plenty of Villains in Blue, Red, and even Green in Spider-Man and will probably be more in Marvel. There haven't been any mono-white Villains yet though.

>>97149482
There will come a time when MtG is not even known as the “fantasy card game”. It’s already happening. It will be known as the game that was once a fantasy game but is now exclusively UB. They won’t even call it UB anymore. It will just be “magic the gathering” followed by whatever current secondary IP they want to use.

In 5-10 years UB will have completely taken over.
>>
>>97148334
>At best they "theorycraft" because no one can actually afford to keep up with this Fortnite shit at this pace.
It's funny how cards designed for Commander don't even need to necessarily be good in Commander. They just need to be "interesting" enough for people to theorycraft around them for a deck they'll only play like twice if at all.

We're already there. In-universe sets are now considered a "special treat" and should not be considered the norm according to WOTC. Whenever they release one, r/magictcg posts about how "we all need to vote with out wallets" and support the set so it will encourage Wizards to not fully abandon their own IP, as though that isn't already a foregone conclusion.

I fully quit the game when pic related was spoiled.

The end of normal mtg sets is a matter of time. I think it will take some time for them to be phased out entirely though as WoTC don’t have to pay licensing fees etc. They’ll definitely dig into their own IPs though. MLP already had a secret lair, a full set is just around the corner. Expect it to be even cringier than whatever the fuck this card is.

Nope, I actually consider 2019-2020 to be the peak of MTG as a whole (aside from stuff like Oko, Astrolabe, Hogaak etc.), so I definitely would have kept playing if they hadn't done this.

I could see where it was going back then so I just bit the bullet and sold all my cards. Every decision wizards has made since then has only made me feel more vindicated in quitting.

I fail to see the issue. Blue didn't get Reach because Reach is objectively weaker than Flying, which Blue has plenty of. A Blue card having Reach isn't a color pie break, it's just a weaker card.

Green has a bunch of anti-flying effects that are meant to fuck over its enemy colour blue, the main flying colour.
All those plumets and cloudthreshers don't do shit against reach.

This is the same garbadge as swapping blue's untap for vigilance, which interacts differently with all the cards made before

I'm an Arena-only player, and I have a few Commander decks for the once-in-a-blue-moon I play with friends IRL. I sold most of my collection, and have no intention of buying new cards.

Staying on as an Arena-only player is pretty low investment.

Despite everything, Magic is good. People in this thread will deny that because they hate everything that has happened to to the game, but the game is really, really good. You might like or not like how it is right now, but at its core the game still plays like a dream, and in 10 or 20 years when the crossover frenzy is long over, it will still play like a dream.

The land and mana mechanics, despite all the rage they cause, are an inerent check on all the bullshit- even in the strongest possible formats the degeneracy is held in check by their existance. The combat is simple and snappy, the land mechanics are intuitive, the formatting and the card frame design is elegant, and the rules have been refined through the years into the closest we can get to actually running a computer game IRL with how they can predict every possible occurrence.

Are there misses? Yes. Dungeon, speed, banding, clash, party, so on. Are there broken cards? Yes. Oko, Omnath, Heartfire Hero, so on. Sometimes they let keywords get to their head and make 2 page long cards. Sometimes they go insane and shit out value engines that let you run away with the game. But despite all that, the core of Magic is good, the mechanics are broadly fun, the fact they design sets to be playable as small games in of themselves is unique and an experience absolutely no other game can give like Magic can, and they are extremely transparent about nearly every design decision they make. It is genuinely, despite UB and Commander and powercreep and Modern Horizons, the single best collectible card game in the market.
>>
>>97150480
Magic is still a fundamentally better and deeper game than any other TCG I've played. The combat step in particular is the best I've seen a TCG do, granted I have not played every TCG on the planet so there may be a better one out there, I dunno but I doubt it. I like the Bandai TCGs a lot too but I don't have a ton of trust in Bandai to manage these games long term seeing has how they sometimes seem to speedrun 10 years worth of MTG powercreep in a single year.

>Dina leads Ajani and Lili off to the wood where the students disappeared, while Dina privately muses that while she's upset to have lost them, it's mostly because that'd mean she's less likely to be trusted for other stuff in the future, she's not planning to become a teacher or anything
>Killian's apparently going to be upset at Abigale going missing because she was a clear Silverquill hopeful, though, and Dina's at least vaguely aware of Tamira, and assumes the others will have people missing them too
>Lili does some magic and quickly determines that the students aren't dead, because nothing as big and complicated as a person died there today, Ajani and her have a bit of snark at each other
>Ajani explores a bit, finds a flower petal, and says it's a smell he's smelled before, Dina is confused and Lili goes "He means Lorwyn", I guess they're at least aware of the place to an extent (sure, there's time gaps they could've been there before, Lili especially)
>Ajani and Lili discuss it a bit, before Ajani declares that he's aware of a stable Omenpath between Lorwyn and Shandalar, so he planeswalks over to Lorwyn to try and find the students and bring them through said Omenpath
>It's also mentioned Tamira is from Shandalar
>Lili tells Dina they're going back to campus, because Ajani will find them, it'll be fine
>Back on Lorwyn, Brigid explains they were lucky they ran across her, because most others would try to help them more directly and potentially get lost to Shadowmoor
>Anyway, she's leading them to Goldmeadow, which they arrive at in short order
>Kirol sort of broadly asks what this place IS, because the entire place is built for people not of their statue. Only Sanar really fits in, size-wise

>They get inside and Brigid properly asks them where they're from, since clearly it's not from around here
>Sanar rambles off a very word but entirely useless explanation about the faerie and the hole and all, Brigid just stares blankly before Tam explains it a bit more proper
>Brigid asks them about the creature, they describe it, she goes "oh that was a faerie", and says it's fortunate for them, because she's a close friend of their queen
>She explains she can get in touch with Maralen, ask about the faerie that led them there and how to maybe get back, and all that
>Sanar then just asks if faeries can talk, Brigid says of course, so Sanar asks why they don't just ask the faerie
>This confuses everybody, but then they all turn to Sanar and realise said faerie is literally floating in front of his face, before it starts laughing
>Its laughter is interrupted by alarm bells, and the faerie flees outside as Brigid looks to see what's going on
>Oop, Isilu's coming and Goldmeadow's getting Shadowmoor'd
>And Brigid says this shouldn't be, Goldmeadow's been comfortably Lorwyn for years, and further explains that the nomads in the city are in danger because the locals are a lot less friendly in Shadowmoor
>Brigid says she can't help them further, she's gotta help the people here, they're gonna have to find Maralen on their own
>She at least tells them where she is, Glen Elendra, and gives them directions, and then gives them a final warning about how the person that she'll be in the darkness is not her and not to listen to that one

Because it's a boardgame, or some weird ttrpg, not a "format". If you're playing a ttrpg do you not avoid playing with people who you already know are absolute asshats that ruin the game? If you're playing a simple game like Monopoly with your normie friends and one or more of them act like complete morons, maybe throwing a tantrum because they wanted to do something else or whatever, and ruin the evening for everyone else, do you want to play boardgames with those individuals again? Of course not, they've proven to be toxic, either by their behavior or by how they play, and you'd rather not play with them again.

It's the exact same thing with commander, it's a social activity and like any social activity you don't want to play with people you don't like. The mistake anons here keep making is assuming that it's some sort of TCG format. The sooner people realize that WOTC is no longer a TCG company, but rather a boardgame company, the sooner you'll understand everything about the current direction of the game.

I believe that, I just found it surprising since 30th anniversary cards are always listed (for what that's worth) at very high prices. But there's at least enough real transactions of those things that you can easily make quite a bit of money selling them, I for sure would be happy to find boxes in a landfill.

There's still some legitimate organic demand, particularly for UB tourist shit, but scalpers are the reason why Standard staples are crazy expensive even though supply should be absolutely flooded given that sales records are being broken while in-store play is so low.

Not at all for the purposes of getting into the format. For that amount of money you can buy a precon and upgrades for that precon.
Review the contents of it.
>Collector booster
Not helpful to actually building a deck.
>3 commander staples
You can buy versions of these for less than $3 total.
>2 booster fun cards (commander goodstuff cards)
Random nature ruins it and while the cards are generally good, aren't going to help you build towards antything specific.
>30 basic lands
For about $25 you can buy an entire land station or just go to an LGS and ask for basics, they'll likely just give them to you for free or dirt cheap.

You're better off buying a precon in the colors you want and playing the deck until you establish yourself a deck you built yourself. Bonus if you can reuse cards from the precon.

I forgot to cover the play boosters, same issue as the collector booster. Sure it's a bunch of cards but it's a bunch of random cards so that doesn't actually help you build a deck for certain. What happens if you don't open enough or what you need to build a deck? You'll have to buy singles then anyway.

I was going to say this. Autism is so highly correlated to being a troon anyone who troons out should be tested. Autism effects identity, people can get obsessed easily, and in many leftist circles unless you’re some form of victim demographic you’re treated like a dog. They’re people already confused by identity, who can’t understand normal social cues, who are then positively reinforced socially into turning themselves into grotesque homunculi through surgery. Frankly the 42% number is shockingly low.

But back to mtg. Multiplayer magic has always been a thing but EDH adds another layer of casualness through intentionally inconsistent decks. Slightly balanced by having a commander to add the illusion of consistency. The few times I’ve tried it I found it just extremely dull. Like playing diplomacy but even worse. It was meant to be a meme format but now is all WoTC cares about. A sick joke of a format for troons and retards.

I keep telling people that the real reason for the overrepresentation of troons and other assorted mentally ill freaks in media in general is due to the absolute stranglehold they have on art colleges around most of the developed world making it nearly impossible for anyone who isn't either in on their cult or at the very least openly supportive of it to get a degree and therefore a job in creative studios.

which is odd because limited is the best MTG format and the best suited to attending an LGS. whenever a bad set comes out it tanks interest
(compare FF and EOE limited environments and attendance vs Aetherdrift and Spider-man even though FF and EOE were in peak summer)

they just can't properly unify catering to the scalpers vs the limited players vs the edh troons. they gave up on constructed entirely, and when they give up on limited (spider-man) the LGS suffers

It's still the best 1v1 card game regardless of how fucked up its become in recent years. I don't really care for new releases, I just draft decent sets like Tarkir Dragonstorm with my friends when, if, they come out.

Its just fucking incredible to me how much the entire landscape of nerd media has shifted since the early 2010s. A man saying he liked the hot chicks from MTG or whatever video game was not a fucking fringe viewpoint when I was a teenager. It's crazy how much of a focus homosexuality and social justice has become in every piece of media. It makes it really hard to enjoy and it sucks me right out of the story when I see some weird 21st lesbian or tranny popping up in the place of what was once a necromancer, a wizard, a dragon, etc. I don't know how or why people defend it. It's bizarre how men even consume this shit without being bothered by it. And it's bizarre that men have allowed themselves to become so emasculated as to no longer express normal opinions like "I'm attracted to fit women in their 20s" or "I don't like cocks in my ass" or "I'd rather not chop my penis off".

It's just truly bizarre. Not that the freaks in art school are obsessed with it, I get that. But that anyone else accepts it or goes along with the whole charade. Like, what?? What the heck? Who gave these people so much power? And why do we listen to a single thing they have to say?

I just wanna see cool monsters, zombies, and the occasional beautiful sorceress or dark wizard, or cool knight.

custom card fag here

what would the correct wording be for a replacement effect that exchanges exile with destroy and vice versa?

>>
>>97154612
Well they plan to still use nagas, in Magic sets. But Naga was a poor type because it lacked synergy with Snakes, the Orochi in Kamigawa which were Naga-like were just Snakes and basically it's just Tarkir that has them. They're Snakes for the same reason Viashino are Lizards, broadly speaking.
Conversely, Skrull exists to represent the IP. Same with Gamma. You can't really use an existing type to delineate between Hulk and others. You COULD maybe use just Alien Shapeshifter for all Skrulls, to be sure, but clearly they wanted to be a bit more specific. EOE, for example, didn't use the Alien type at all. One-offs will more likely be Aliens, but we'll see.

It'll be apparently covering the entire franchise, but to what extent we don't know.
