>>97442343why do you keep posting this picture
what you think when you look at this card?
>>97442391Not muchI'm sure i'll see it posted every thread for the next 3+ years though
>>97442391I don't play commander.
>>97442384its honestly the least insane response to brown skin in muh UB yet
>>97442391"are altered arts sanctioned tournament legal?"
>>97442442which reminds me they really need to replace the nameplate positions for UB reskins, i shouldn't have to look in a new spot to identify a cardi admit its a miniscule ask on my time and requires only the most minor effort on my part, but its still bad design
>>97442391Still gobsmacked at the sheer ineptitude of replacing a monkey child with a black kid.
>>97442226kinda surprising nobody has made major ingress in the community with a homebrewed block format. all you'd have to do is ban cards that don't fit a block theme and replace them with historical printings that do. it'd be a cool design challenge and i have no doubt it would be somewhat popular since currently standard is a messy shit of disjointed mythic rare shit.
>>97442391This is what Mike Tyson thinks is a cool anime girl.
>>97442391The most Commanderiest design that has ever Commandered and I hate that most multicolor cards are this now.
>>97442043>>97442280I want "Champion a Land" on a mono-green angel

>>97442043I want "Champion a creature with mana value 1 or less" on a Knight, with "When the championed creature returns to play, put a +1/+1 counter on it, and it becomes a Knight in addition to its other types."
>>97442597>blackwash in ST setDo you know when a media franchise dies?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkBU8lvXm7MWhen no one cares.
>>97442610You already a better game-designer than most of the current staff at WotC
>>97442508What else would you like on said angel, sir?
>>97442391>what you think when you look at this card?
>top 8 standard>6 cub decks vs 2 anti cub decksWe're fucking back
>>97443110Superior Spider-Man isn't a cub deck, but yeah no the gameplay in this Standard is heinous. At least nobody got top 8 with the Avatar precon, I despise that deck far more than any Ouroboroid pile.

>>97442391Who the fuck is this character?
>>97442391"lol, mouseslop"
>>97443234Nah, lil nigga has Stalker's eyes. Well, his helmet.
>>97442018I'm really glad they actually did a lot of stuff with behold this set. I was seriously worried they were gonna completely throw it to the wind after Tarkir Dragonstorm.>TQConvoke and improvise are cool, but they feel a bit too generic and easy to break. My favorite is probably emerge, it's a shame they never did any more insect cards with that mechanic. I felt like it would've been really fitting in Duskmourn considering the theme of metamorphosis with all the moths and cocoons.
Casting with a web-slinging or mayhem cost doesn't change the cmc for the sake of this right? Like the casted card would count as it's hardcast cmc?
Thinking about Golgari Demons for pioneer and the green cards would be the creature whom make mutavault (pic) and tear asunder, other than that other green cards are not needed. Mono black demons has been good for me but there are two major problems. Cori Steel Cutter is the bane of my existence. That's where the Tear Asunder comes in, the only reason to consider green. I also like to play Archfiend of the Dross, underrated card, but in the rare instance of the opponent having Heartless Act then I am fucked. Hence the need for another Demon in my Demon deck. It is hard to justify adding green over red when red gets Fable of the Mirror Breaker, and there's also Abrade.So what other green cards can I play to make green worth it in demons?
Remind me again why Tamiyo is considered okay when we had to ban Psychic Frog for being a must-kill creature that pitches to Force?
>>97443406Because it doesn't pitch to grief (also banned lol) and enable reanimator.
>>97443406>why Tamiyo is considered okayit isn't, most legacy players are completely comfortable with saying that the current meta is a result of decks playing tamiyo and decks trying to beat tamiyo, if asked what is the card most likely to get banned right now, most people would say tamiyothe problem is that wotc hates making changes to legacy so we have to continue to suffer through these metas until they finally decide to do something
>>97443507Well evidently these toads are comfortable banning fucking Entomb if it keeps Atraxa's market value 0.1% higher.
>>97443348What you want from Green in the golgari Annex list usually is the over efficient of sich color: Abrupt decay, Culling ritual for the annoying UR/CoCo decks, Maelstrom pulse... But besides that there are other useful cards Golgari Annex lists are using right now in Pioneer like obviously the infamous Cub that makes a creature of a land and Carnage tyrant in the side against control.
>>97443406Frog was banned because Reanimator was the #1 deck. Then Troll got banned. Then they decided that reanimator shouldn't be a legacy deck anymore, so here we are. Maybe at this point Troll and Frog could get unbanned, but nobody knows.
>>97442302WAKANDA FOREVER!
>>97442043Champion a Somali
>>97443235Anyone playing standard in current year and talking shit about any other format is a walking parody
>>97442302>wakanda forever
>>97442302>>97442391Everyday we stray further from God's light....
>>97443528Things will get to a point where all of the old pillars of the format start having to pay because Wizards cannot keep themselves from producing broken power crept cards. Entomb was first and I suspect Ancient Tomb will be next, or at least the next thing up for contention - Medvedev has complained a couple of times about its success in Eternal Weekend. The issue with these cards is not that the cards themselves are too powerful but the threats they're backing are.Consider Premodern; these cards are fine there because they were created when the game was at a lower power level. The best thing you can Oath for is a Shard Phoenix, Terravore or Phantom Nishoba. Tinker is banned or restricted everywhere except Premodern because the best thing you can get are stax pieces or Devourer. When they're making cards like Atraxa, Bolas's Citadel etc every set, they find it easier to ban the enabler rather than all of the payoffs. Daze was fine when the best thing it was backing was Delver; when it's backing DRC enabling a turn 2 Murktide, there's a problem.What I find especially sad about the Entomb ban is that it's more or less killed turbo reanimator, an iconic legacy archetype, because of the sins of a tempo deck. Then all the tempo vultures just move on to UB tempo without suffering, which has an overwhelming play rate in challenges, while the reanimator players either quit or just lose trying to play their now crippled deck.
>>97443551Thanks for responding good ideas here. Culling ritual and abrupt decay could make the cut, maelstrom pulse probably not. Mono black is like a beatdown style deck and for some reason, makes no sense at all, black has better 1 drop creatures than green even though green is supposed to be the color for strong creatures. Cecil and Moonshadow hello like damn. Cards like Mosswood Dreadknight are extremely unexciting. I just don't know how to ever start attacking in a higher curve version that's more control oriented.
>>97443627>Things will get to a point where all of the old pillars of the format start having to pay because Wizards cannot keep themselves from producing broken power crept cardsSilly n00b, they've been paying for decade. NotC openly banned Survival of the Fitness because (their words) they're gonna keep printing better and better creatures.>OathAre you stupid? Oath was never about summoning a big dumb creature, it was about dumping your deck into graveyard.>the game was at a lower power level.Yep, you are stupid. Lower power level of creatures. Everything else was at higher power.>TinkerDo your homework and check what Tinker is capable of, berk.>Entomb ban::yawn:: again?
>>97442391The art kind of sucks.
>>97443248Moon Girl is just some random kid supergenius who's apparently the smartest Marvel character (though basically the only thing we have to go off of for that is that she solved a puzzle Bruce Banner made that was made to be unsolveable and nobody else could do it, like she's not stupid or anything but it does feel strange that she's declared THE SMARTEST off of that) but mostly just goes around with a giant dinosaur and feels angst about being isolated for being smart.
>>97443781What about Dr. Charles Xavier? Some N***er kid outsmarted him?
>>97443248
does the card represent the Alchemification of paper Magic?
>>97443838it will only get worse
>>97443824wtf
>>97443824It's Riri Williams (you know, that cheap Ironman knockoff) not a Moon Girl.>>97443838Why is it dragging kettle, saucepan and a mug instead of one universal shapechanging cookware?
>>97443815He's not even top ten, he never has been. Usually it's Reed Richards that's #1, with #2 kind of going all over the place between T'Challa, Tony Stark and Doctor Doom, though lately Reed's daughter has been shown to outsmart Reed a couple times, though they generally show that nobody KNOWS more than Reed.
what is the best firebending deck currently?
>>97443901Yes that is in fact a thing they say in the comics and the movies.
>>97443911I don't believe you. It's a racist meme originating from 4channel.
>>97443911why isn't black panther a black card then?
>>97443889I don't mean to be cruel, but that is information that you should be a bit ashamed to have. You should have enough shame to not reveal to the public that you have it. It is like having deep knowledge of Ninja Turtles lore - it means you've wasted life on learning something completely repulsive.I was at a used book sale last week and I picked up a Wolverine TPB and after reading the first few pages I wanted to fucking die because I had acquired knowledge of a post-apocalyptic timeline-jumping Wolverine fighting off incest-Hulk spawn.See what I did there? I shared that cancer and everyone is stupider for it despite gaining more knowledge.
>>97442302If the wakanda forever - artifacts matter deck is focused on food tokens. That would be the funniest thing i can imagine
>>97443929Because Wakanda is not thematically black.
Should I give Standard format another chance, or stick to being Brawl-only player? Pic related is my Commander.
>>97444006>Standard>A chanceLolLmao even
4 copies in every deck
>>97443979BRAVO WIZARDS
>>97442391Pure unfettered nuMagic
Friendly reminder they hate you, they have ruined this game on purpose in the hopes of hurting you and they only care about paypigs who let them stay afloat, their main objective is to hurt and damage you in every way they can, they don't even care about the money.
Every """mistake""" done in the last 11 years has been done 100% on purpose.
>>97443894put a firebending card into mono red and that will be the best firebending deck because it's the only one
They ruined this game on purpose, and they continuously have been making the same choice for more than 11 years, only before that there were people who tried to stop them, now they managed to kick them out for good.They are willing to axe their own arm if that means breaking your finger.

i hate trekkies but i hate capeshit even more...
Just so you guys know, they never say “set phasers for fun” unless it’s JJ Abram’s or later Dreck
>>97444225There will be a card called "Set Phasers To..." and it'll be a modal card with Stun or Kill as the options. Kill will cost more.
>>97444268Nah it will be flavor keywords. Which is fine, I like those.I don't want Star Trek in MTG though.
funny things to do with a shitload of artifact tokens in rakdos colors?
>>97444313I mean, yes, the flavour keywords was implied.
Is a five mana 5/5 wish dragon enough to see play in jeskai control decks?https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles/card-image-galleryThe rest of tmnt rares
>>97442391I can only think of the Marvel Snap version of the card, because that was my introduction to the character, and I've played a lot with her in the past because she used to have some really insane interactions with other cards.
>>97444479>5 avatar creatures in TMNT>0 MonksFuck wizards.
>>97444627
>>97444681I'm still seething about Monk types in Avatar. Out of the entire avatar card library, 3 monk cards. A fucking world of kung fu, 3 monks. Firebending student (other than certain art, not life changing), airbending student (unplayable trash), and gyatsu. Why water and earthbending student aren't monks, I dont know. Why other airbenders aren't monks, I dont know. Pisses me off.
the good thing is that since TMNT got spoiled by accident, we can go straight into the marvel spoilers!
>>97443979I'd say they kind of are, being mostly xenophobic, tech hoarding assholes except for T'Challa and some close friends of his. They are as black as the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout is, the classic version.
>>97444484Her base art in Marvel Snap is kind of shitty too.
>>97444726Well, in-universe, monks are specifically benders and people that are closer to the spiritual aspect of the world than just bending. Bending, by itself, can be seen as just a practical tool for combat and day-to-day stuff, but diving into the more esoteric aspects of it leads you to become a monk. For example, Guru Pathik, which you didn't mention, is a monk and has not bending abilities at all because he solely focused on the spiritual aspect of the chakras.
>>97443979>>97444800>"n-no Wakanda isnt black because thats le racist">its green because fucking monkeys in the jungle lmao bravo wizardino
>>97444831Green because their main source of power is extracted from an ancestral deposit of vibranium and they care about lineages, heritage, they have their own tribal beliefs about afterlife and honor. It's just normal tribal stuff, which is green aligned mostly. Also Wakandans are super territorial and fight against rival tribes all the time. M'baku is from a different tribe, but made an alliance with Wakanda through T'Challa.
>>97444800Xenophobia is W, anon. The greed is much more B, but we've had plenty of non-B greedy characters before.
>>97444861sexwithshadowmoorkithkin
>>97444861Hmmm, I suppose, but I'd argue they'd be at least Orzhov colored. Wakanda should be Abzan, T'challa/Black Panther Selesnya as his card already is.
>>97444859Imagine giving a fuck about any of that gay shit
>>97444859Yeah, and they also like bananas lmao
>>97444800Xenophobic assholes with a tight, close-knit society is more white than black. Generally black is individualistic and selfish (though individualism as a 'good' thing is often red when shown as 'rebellious'). Kithkin from Shadowmoor are a good example of what I mean.
>>97444876Abzan would probably be the pick if they were 3c, guessing they needed a 2c because they already had a 4c with the F4.
Are remaster sets like Innistrad on hiatus now? I really liked getting old border frames for some cool cards.
>>97444823You got me there, I forgot about the Guru.But again, even following your logic, why 2 out of 4 students are monks makes no sense. Yangchen shouldve been a monk imo. There are plenty of others that would fit the 'spiritual" idea that aren't monks.
>muh color archetypesReminder that Green is chaos now, so there goes your consistency.
>>97444859so do goblins but wakkanadians aren't red or black because raisins
Come home, White Man.
>>97444961context?
>>97444961>where are your tits, chandra?>don't ask, tezz...
>>97444859>Green because their main source of power is extracted from an ancestral deposit of vibraniumMetallurgy and ore have basically never been associated with green. It's an industrial thing, and magic-less artifice is generally red-aligned if anything.Ripping up and mining out nature to benefit yourself is the fucking opposite of green, in fact. It makes NO sense.
A few years after Hasbro managed to finally kill MtG, Richard Garfields heir needs to reboot it.During the fight between Urza and Mishra, this time, Mishra wins, killing Urza. All cards, lore, mechanics and characters after that are thrown out and we start with a mostly clean slate.

>>97445309Current no bans Standard is more powerful than all eternal formats were pre-FIRE.
>>97445309Maybe Oko will be able to compete, but I highly doubt anything will come close to Vivi Cauldron.
>>97445309>The Standard of Six sets a year and UB destroyed completely any sort of balance or game qualityWOW! Who could have seen that coming, right fellow pigg... Magic players?
>>97445309Cards that warped Pioneer obviously would destroy old Standard decks. That´s why i think you can unban Uro, Winota, Ballista and Inverter in Pioneer without a single problem, the format is already full of bullshit.
>>97445316>n-no!!! you cant enjoy things I dont like!!!
>>97445346you can literally unban everything that isn't a companion or a fetchland and the format will not change significantly, that's how fucked everything is
>>97444055this
>>97444055Trans rights, touhou sister!
>>97445346It's so funny to me that Birthing Pod is still banned in Modern.
>>97445309A well maintained game would have all these decks at least somewhat competitive against each other.Vivi Cauldron is literally just going to shitstomp fucking everything.
>>97445439>A well maintained game would have all these decks at least somewhat competitive against each other.I agree with the sentiment but this is bad example to pick, can you find another card game where decks 15 years apart have a competitive matchup against each other?
>>97445439These are the matchups planned.
>>97445450>can you find another card game where decks 15 years apart have a competitive matchup against each other?Is does not equal ought, anon.
>>97445454There's a few decks from the Eldraine era that might be able to put a dent into Vivi.I really don't see anything that would come even close to being able to handle it though.
>>97443272And are you, the player, Stalker?
>>97445461sure but if your ought doesn't exist anywhere else, it's just utopian, it doesn't have any real application, thus making it a bad example
>>97445474>sure but if your ought doesn't exist anywhere elseSo what?
>>97445479>it's just utopian, it doesn't have any real application, thus making it a bad example
>>97445484Yes, and?Is does not equal ought. What do you not comprehend about one of the most basic rules of logic?What is has no relevance to a conversation about what ought to be. Your statement is the equivalent of saying nothing at all.
>>97445474There are no other real card games, so if an "ought" doesn't exist in Magic there is nowhere else it can exist. By your argument, all suggestions or propositions about game design are utopian and without any real application.
>>97445494I thought we were discussing MTG but it looks like this is the sophism general>>97445497>There are no other real card gamescan't argue with that I suppose
>>97445535>I thought we were discussing MTG but it looks like this is the sophism generalHey, captain retard, you're the guy who apparently can't comprehend one of the foundational, most simple laws of logic. Maybe learn to use your brain before vomiting it at people.
Kithkin too OP
>>97443824I like this scene. Riri is a child. Children like stories. Children want to live out stories (and many adults never outgrow that). Riri, a child, is demanding her teacher subject her to adversity so she can overcome it and get her storybook ending of being "a scientist." The teacher, an adult, is begrudgingly playing the heel because humoring children is something adults do sometimes. This may not be great writing, but the scene is plausible and inoffensive. I haven't read anything else of Ironheart. I've only seen these three pages posted again and again. Maybe this is the worst it gets, and it really deserves a read. Maybe there are way worse parts, but they don't neatly fit into a culture war narrative so complaints about them aren't amplified by the echo chamber. I heard Riri robs Tony Stark at some point, but I didn't hear that on 4chan, so maybe it makes some sort of sense in the narrative.
>>97443856
https://www.mtgdc.info/announcements/2026/january-26-2026
>>97445554I can't bring myself to play with the kithkin. This card's special effect version in arena makes her sack look like a flappy ballsack.
>>97445497>There are no other real card gamesA lot of the competetive Magic players at my LGS are enjoying FaB. Decks are expensive right now but supposedly the next set is reprinting a ton of expensive staples so I might give it a try then.
>>97445743Mr. Jace... I don't feel so good...
>>97445592Riri's 'fine' in appearances outside of her debut comic series. In this comic though she just kind of comes across as not really being that interested in being good, and there's MEANT to be parallels to Tony also sucking, but Tony sucks because he's an old alcoholic. Riri sucks just because she's kind of antisocial. I don't think she ever robs Tony, though, she just uses some salvaged pieces of his armor that gets blown off in a fight or something.They play Riri sucking a bit more in later appearances by having her be really good at DOING heroism, but really bad at doing any sort of 'helpful' stuff to civilians, because she's not really actually good at that. She's generally not well-liked even among the more progressive side of the fandom though, just because she's not interesting and when you stack her up against Miles and Kamala, she really comes up short.

>>97445743Last I checked this is the administrator who controlled all the website and media platforms who kicked off the entire governance committee and still has control of everything. And now he's tossing the entire original format and replacing it with a Canadian Highlander system. I guess the only thing to really be surprised about is that this didn't happen sooner.

>>97446536Rosewater loves it and so do the commander piggies.
>>97446536MaNo is the culprit. he has been very vocal how he loves designing doubling effects and that he has been teaching the rest of the design team to advocate for that effect too. just because he likes it. so he is actively ruining the game on behalf of other's fun

Mind's Desire and Memory Jar only get you so far when you're full ass dead on turn 3 against a deck with 99% consistency because every card cantrips or loots.Those early combo decks do have win chances though, if they just get a trio of nut draws and are on the play.

>>97447474Magic is so shit now that if you aren't publicly incendiary about every big and small thing in this game, it makes you a bootlicker. It's at the point where the only way to not be a bootlicker is to actually condemn anybody who is a bootlicker because anybody who is unreservedly happy about anything that happens in this game is too stupid to deserve having some kind of impact on the community and game.Given that Wizards will punish influencers for talking shit about Magic, as they did with the Professor himself for denying him Strixhaven content when he shittalked the game, anybody who gets any access to Wizards at this point is by definition a bootlicker because only a bootlicker is getting any extras from Wizards itself. And the fact shitbag #1 Maro is showing up on the Professor's show just demonstrates that whatever the fuck happened with Strixhaven, the Professor is now the sort of elite bootlicker that has access to the voice of Magic. And unless the video he makes with Maro means Maro leaving the studio with one less testicle I don't think the Professor was being hard enough.
>players can't shuffle their libraries break it
>>97447355He’s informative. I first got into him when I was into YGO and those two black YGO YouTubers had him on to play YGO and he had them on to play MTG. He’s actually one of the reasons I started playing MTG.
>>97448517wdym break it?it's broken by every single card that tells you to shuffle
>consistent top 8 lessons, CubRoid, airbending, elemental reanimator decks >not one single white deck8 years of kike lies and going strong
>>97448548can't > can
>>97448574Yeah so you'd search your library and see all your cards and then essentially stack your deck however you want. Something like stranglehold would prevent opponents from getting a land with a fetch, but they would still have to shuffle because it doesn't prevent that part.
>>97448602pretty sure you need to keep deck in the order it was originally in if you're not shuffling it afterwards, you're not scrying so there is no instruction to rearrange the cards how you see fit
>>97448217i am actually maat33, i quit MODO during aetherdrift and wrote a short story about magic which should be out in like two weeks. you'll know it was me because it has the word "Overmaster" in it
>>97448619The point is that your opponent has no way to ensure that, it would be way too easy for cheaters to rearrange cards while searching even if they're not supposed to. Doomsday is the only card that lets you search your library without shuffling, for obvious reasons.
>>97446945the old rules were so kino just like the art
Does anyone here use custom food tokens?
>>97448646Honestly the real question is why shuffling after searching your library isn't just baked into the rules.

>>97442391It makes me want to hold up a spork.
>>97442391I think people who buy comic books are the lowest of the low, but I thought that before seeing that card.
now that the dust has settled, what did we think of it?
>>97450099they were the first victims of the culture warmourn for them
Pigs eat slop.
I already played with goblins, merfolk, kithkins and elves. I already watched a summary of the story of the set, and I already checked all the cards of the set on the gallery.Im bored now, when is TMNT kino coming?
>>97450179Soon, brother
>>97444929Just to make it clear, I'm being a devil's advocate to an extent, but I can give you explanations. Yangchen not being a monk is because the old avatar legend cards are focusing specifically on them at the peak of their power, embodying the avatar spirit, so all the avatars are colorless and just typed as "avatar". In the series, the Air nomads and Fire priests are some of the factions that were more spiritually attuned to bending. The water benders have direct connections to spirits, but they explain in Korra that the older spiritual focus of water bending was lost during the 100 year war and Earth benders barely focus on the spiritual aspect of bending at all, so during most of the series, only fire benders and air benders were spiritually attuned, save for the fire benders serving directly under the fire nation army and the fire lord. Also, MTG makes some weird typing decisions every now and then. In the same set, the fire sages, the guys that are the most attuned to the spirtual fire bending at the start of the series, are counted as clerics rather than monks, even though clerics in the ATLA setting is a weird definition. Also since Ally was a major type mechanic, they probably didn't want to also shove more types around for no reason.
You call UB slop? Real slop has got chunks and things in it, UB is morel like gruel.
>>97449915For the idiots who don't understand legalese the article says the opposite. This doesn't mean less UB it means more limited packs which is only a win for scalpers.
>>97450206I AM A PROUD MTG CUMSUMER, TAKE YOUR MEDS INCEL!
>>97450286It says a lot of interesting shit. My highlights:>2016 confirmed as official death spiral of magic>segmentation strategy clearly reflected in 2026 line up, which many fags ITT fell for by whaling for Lorwyn but abstaining for UB>shit "selling out" is a lie. "M30 sales for the set were paused after it became apparent that sales were weaker than anticipated.">"Magic has grown primarily by extracting more revenue from each player rather than by growing its player base"> "we’re serving more player segments [than ]ever before, and so th[at]’s going to shift [] how many SKUs we released in a year.">financial statements redacted, kek

>>97447355I like his reviews and card recommendations videos, but the shitty gameplay videos are just not for me, especially since he shoves at least one tranny in there 90% of the time.
>>97450417Are you able to pin point a good ending for a modern format. Mirroden block through Kahns of Tarkir
>>97448138in general the economics of collectors and foil secret lairs have been busted lately>>97448145i'd bet money you've bought maybe one cbb in your entire life
>>97450603I'd say end after Khans block. 2016 is when the "segmentation" plan went into effect, but you can see traces of it in bfz/gaywatch.
Pioneer is a 4 card meta. Cori Steel Cutter VS. Badgermolecub + Ouraboroid VS. Unholy Annex
I did not expect one of my favorite Lorwyn cards being a Strixhaven cameo, this some how managed to get me hyped up for the actual return to Strixhaven set, I wish we could just skip UB and get right into it
>>97450667in my city if you tell anyone you play pioneer, an ICE officer shows up and shoots you in the head, it's rough
I want to like MTG and i've been playing it for quite awhile but it's extremely hard to not just feel like the game lacks any real strategy. There are so many non-games because you either drew poorly or your opponent drew extremely well and there is just absolutely nothing you can do to prepare for this. No matter what format you're playing, it feels like 80% of games are won because one person just drew better. There is strategy to be had, sure, when you're playing against commonly played decks where you know what nearly every card is going to be. You can play around specific cards or bait certain things out but nothing is going to save you from the red player who never stops drawing gas and then finishes you with burn or the blue player that just has every counter and board wipe right when it matters, etc.When I try to watch pro events, both old and new, the players are playing knowing EXACTLY every card the opponent has and they play very smart but at the end of the day, when you actually pinpoint the winning play, 90% of the time it comes down to either one player drawing the exact card needed or the other player not drawing the card he needed. I just don't entirely get it. I didn't grow up with card games, i've only playing off and on for 4 years and every time I come back i'm quickly reminded how variance ruins the game. This might not be that bad, if matches themselves didn't take so long and are filled with so many non-decisions or waiting for the other opponent to make a play. Poker unironically has more meaningful skill
>>97450694You're just bad, anon. You can say it's 99% luck all you want, but pair you up against a LSV or the like and you'll go 1-9 in any mirror match
>>97450671she cute
>>97450681This but commander instead. Only chads play unsupported formats
>>97450119I get that they had to show the consequences for doing it wrong like Iroh warned and Katara needed something to do during the finale, but I still feel like Zuko got robbed of finally getting a clean win over Azula.
>>97450712Can the shareholders actually kill Hasbro? Because that would be based
>>97450667I'm playing Dimir bounce and is good. Also I have seen Desecrex fucking even challenges.
>>97450548The entire Internet should be banned.
>>97450795No, suit will likely go nowhere and will be a minor blip of attorneys fees.
>>97450694>There are so many non-games because you either drew poorly or your opponent drew extremely well and there is just absolutely nothing you can do to prepare for this. It used to be different. Unfortunately you simply happened to get into the game at a time where cards are increasingly being designed to be self-contained value engines that boil down the game to "do they have it".
>>97450286These types of lawsuits happen a bunch and they're usually some assmad scalper upset their cards aren't worth more. They don't go anywhere.
>>97450801Good for you someone else is playing merfolk but that's 0,3% of the meta too
>>97443507>most legacy playersAll ten of you?
>>97450794azula lost the agni kai the moment she targeted one of the witnesses plus, it was obvious Zuko was thoroughly clowning on her
>>97450702>duhhhh You're too incompetent to understand the overall message. You can literally pinpoint 90% of every serious, pro level match where a match was one or loss because of one card that neither player could predict or play around. Putting a lot of time and effort to acquire skill for this game just to lose to variance anyways isn't fun or interesting. Like I said, if the games didn't take so long then maybe it wouldn't matter but it's just a massive time waster when plenty of other games offer more fair skill with more depth and less variance or rng
>>97450937Then go play those games, jesus christ. I dont care what you think, aint your fucking blog.
>>97450548Fuck off to Mt.Gag you fucking queer zoomer.
>>97450548should go the way of konami and ban all unauthorised posting about their card game
>>97450937i mean its a fucking card game, are you lost?the problem has never been the game having variance, and its always been insufferable nerds who failed out of society and desperately need to feel skilled and smart or else be nothing at allpro players are generally polite and decent people because they understand thisonly FNM types actually think this game is an accurate expression of how skillful or smart they are
>>97450795if that would go through wotc would only start printing even more exclusive cards and the secondary market would become pokebro central. successful that is. the amount they would lose in the court case wouldn't even be a blip on their profits
>>97451080pokebro central is inevitable at this point between fractured foils and the UBs that will never, ever, ever be reprinted
>>97450671>this some how managed to get me hyped up for the actual return to Strixhaven setanon, I'm so, so sorrythis is a real card from the set
>>97451120that's true. they already have mechanically unique cards coming out in secret lairs all the time. they just need to fuck up once and print an eternal playable 4 of in there and bam

>>97451564Obviously.
>>97451544Miracle is a pain in the ass to do anything useful and requires Legacy level cards to even be a viable deck. This guy is neat, but it isn't busted.

>>97452334>>97452358For 14 mana it doesn't matter how strong the card is lol, in no format other than commander is there a functional difference between winning with 14 mana vs winning with 63 mana.
>>97452385>For 14 mana it doesn't matter how strong the card is lol, in no format other than commander is there a functional difference between winning with 14 mana vs winning with 63 mana.The functional difference is one is hardcastable and the other is only castable with effectively infinite mana.THIS IS A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE.
>>97452390>one is hardcastableIn what formats, anon?
>>97452393draft
>>97452393You can ramp into this on like turn 5 in standard with elves and badgermoles
>>97452393All of them.
>>97452409I got bullied by that a day or two ago
>this fucking shit
>>97452403>>97452409When nuStrixhaven drops, if there's a single viable competitive deck ramping up to cast that shit, I'll eat my hat.
>>97452436>I'll eat my hat.Rev up those fryers!
>>97452056Is it something you'd call someone? Just a Gamma? One of the Gammas? Something like that?
>>97452443what's up my Gamma
>>97452456That's our word!
Hey /tg/, i've been playing with a friend who's relatively new to the game. We've been playing with some premade decks i've made, but i want to 'level up' to limited play. I've liked winchester draft as a 2-player draft format in the past, but doing a full draft would require a lot of reading and time for a new player.Are there any good 'in-between' formats that are faster and simpler while still having a deck-building element?
>>97451974Would Strixhaven exist as a set if HP had never been written?There is your answer
>>97452467Cube.
Very well, I'm going to make some cancerous Izzet lesson deck with sozin's comet and matheforsizzle as the win condition.
>>97452467You could buy a pauper cube for relatively little money
>>97452299I guess it's reframing it more like a sudden discovery?
>>97452443Well the proper term is a "Gamma mutate", and a lot of people will just call them Hulks or something, but that's the best choice if you had to make it a creature type.
>>97452495I prefer Doppelgang as my "14 mana: Win The Game" spell, but whatever floats your goat
>>97452495It's a sorcery so you'd need something else to preserve the mana or make it instant speed. On top of having some creatures to swing in for comet.
Some back of the box stuff for Strixhaven and Super Heroes. An unexplained 'prepare' mechanic for SOS. Best guess is it's a foretell-like.
>>97451784Look forward to the Crucible of Worlds reprint in the Doom precon, because it's not functioning without it.
>>97452597There is in fact a serialised card in the set.
>>97452597Prepare is keyworded search your deck for a card and put it on top of the deck.
>>97452614Super Heroes' headliner is the Mind Stone. Probably the only one in the set, I think they said a stone was taken from a different set and put into SPM so it's likely there'll be two per set after this.
>>97452614Card name indicates a riff on Archmage Emeritus.
>>97452558Arena bugs out when x is greater then 5
>>97452640well doppelgang at 14 mana would be X=4, so that's not an issue
>twitter kikes proud to qualify for the pro tour with Avatar and Spider-Man slop since if you don’t play them you straight up lose >soon it will be these same kikes goy-face’ng all over social media about their Marvel and Star Trek pro tour decks It was never about Magic for them. It was always about winning shekels. There is no integrity in this game anymore.
>>97451326All of magic looks silver bordered nowdays
>>97450937That's survivorship bias you dummy. Games coming down to "did they have it" and nothing else means, in most cases, that the steps to get there were near perfect. Go back and watch those pro-games and determine how often a player would have lost if they did not make the play pattern they made.I am curious, what would make for a satisfying game for you? What should be the reason that a player loses if not variance? If players play perfectly should every game end in a draw? Should it be matchup dependent?
oh my science, marvel mtg commander decks.New hottest toplist for what to buy your girlfriends husband just dropped
>>97452657actually it would be x=3
>>97451836>covered up black widow so no cleavage
>>97452403It's a good thing that badgermole decks can kill you on turn 4, and a significant reason is because creatures are far more tutorable than non creature spells.
>>97452663nothing in spiderman is playable though.I don't think anyone likes boomerang basics for being avatar either, could easily have been universes within
>>97452767It had the best reanimator standard has seen in awhile.
>>97452587That's what makes it fun
>>97452505I guess having simpler cards would help, but it still feels like a lot of processing if you don't know any of the cards beforehand.
>>97452785Oh, you kavaero
>>97452587Two to three tokens is not a big ask
When Magic stopped being about elf and dragons and became about villains and robots?
>>97452915before you were born, with Urza and the Brothers' War
Could a slop-free standard deck even have a chance against a slop deck? There doesn’t seem to be any in the meta.
>>97452952>Could a slop-free standard deck even have a chance against a slop deck?No, not even close. You would struggle to win even a single game with zero slop inclusions.
>>97452952No. You can't compete without UB sets
>>97452990The funny part is that a 1-mana 4/4 lifelink is now a rogue deck in Standard because it's not good enough despite the fact decks don't have a way to remove it :))))))))))
>>97453068>The funny part is that a 1-mana 4/4 lifelink is now a rogue deck in Standard because it's not good enough despite the fact decks don't have a way to remove it :))))))))))ouroboroid go brrrrrrrr
I need an enchantment that swaps +1/+1 tokens effects with -1/-1 tokens and viceversa
>>97452614>>97452637Oh boy I love sans serif corporatese.
>>97452990cecil is top percentile slop desu
>>97453122So is your mind.
>>97452990I don't consider FF slop the set was actually good
>>97453227FFAvatarSpidermanTMNTHobbitStar Trek And obviously Marvel capeshit.You can make a case for any of these sets but every single one is the same: Slop for pigs.
>>97453227the most piggy, shit gargling sentence I've read today
Pigs control you game now. Checkmate, atheists.
>>97453227>I don't consider this shit on my plate to be shit because they took a lot of time to sculpt it into the shape of a filet mignon.Low IQ.
https://moxfield.com/decks/JLk23YcJfUyrsgpUulMSfAIm cooking a Rakdos or mono red control list for pauper. Thots? I have 2 slots left in this one.
Nice that the newest set released last week and we already are spoiling the next two sets
>>97453597Sorry, next 3 sets
>>97453597>>97453608
>>97453630
Wake me up when Trek spoilers start
>>97451271I fucking hate these treatments so much. The hardest not-Magic abominations to avoid because they're almost all staples.
>>97451255>>97451265>EN art outdoes the JP art, againWhat is it about mystical archive that makes this happen? Weebs will still lap it up though, I'm sure.
Don't you love this unending spoiler season we live in?
>>97453248Naw, Trek is based
>>97452436We all know you are not man enough to keep that promise but good luck on saving the screenshot until shithaven>>97452443They should just make them mutants but they are being autistic about X-men shit (if they were as autistic on respecting mtg brand we would all be happy)>>97452476We all know Strixhaven would 100% have an Harry Poter UB slot if not for Transphobic comments (and non-left wing comments in general) from the autor. If I m not mistaken it even got pushed a few months forward on its release (probably because they ditched the idea of making the UB sheet).
>>97453754It's genuinely fucking retarded to have sets come out and we already have spoilers for the next sets. Like honestly, we got TMNT spoilers, Strixhaven spoilers and now even Marvel spoilers.
pauper
>>97453900I raise you Peasant.
>>97453853My stomach feels pretty good, you guys have a shit track record.
>>97453597only been half a week, please get excited for next new product (and the next (and the next))
>>97453955>only 3 top4 placesDamn standard is so dead.
>>97453943I'll check with Artisan
>>97453991I had to google what the fuck Artisan even is so I think you win this exchange. Good game.
>>97452072>SpyI don't mind Spy, in fact Spy probably should have already been a type. It can be used for both in-universe and UB sets.
>>97453900plz respond>>97453554
