Wishing we could put the genie back in the bottle and return to a fun niche format, so I'm glad the price is keeping people out. So many shitheads have joined my community in this last year fleeing the WOTC formats and they're awful to play with. Old School gods truly understood this and I wish Premodern had been gatekept similarly instead of pushed outward
>>
>>97654950
I didn't jump in on premodern because it felt too far away from the formats I liked from the older eras (notably block constructed) but I feel similar over cubing. Weird to see so many people jump into cube as the solution to their problems in recent years, only to then stuff their cubes with all of the archetypes and design mistakes that have ruined current magic and then complain that cube feels power crept. It is like they don't understand the most basic lesson of cube, that you can make it how you want.

deckbuilding.
I could accept the little bird BB cost as something that could be retarded not going a little hard on swamps, not that it happened.
You didn't see the mana curve if you really think that a deck were everything but 4 cards costs 3 or less needs more than 16 lands (even 15 would be fine)
>you don't even understand the basics of Limited
No, I don't understand the basics of arena rigging, and I bet if you played IRL you would always lose at least 2 rounds every draft or limited tournament.

New Zealand here. We're doing monthlies now and I discovered today and the most mom-and-pop store imaginable has had people playing casual premodern for about a year so far disconnected from the aforementioned monthlies.

>>97655326
If you're new to the game and have never played it before, buy OLD bulk from 2011 or prior, make your decks from these cards only without purchasing any singles or sealed, and leave it at that. You can add more bulk if you want more variety. Kitchen table is the best way to engage with the game as a new player because it spares you all the garbage WotC are ramming down people's throats

Tbh this game needs ways to make peoples collections relevant instead of focusing on the few best cards.
Only 1 of each card per table?

Only 5/10/15 rares per deck?

Coincidentally, there has been a split off from Duel Commander committee very recently and the new branch had just made their own 1v1 format where commander rules apply and instead of a traditional banlist the game runs on a point system
https://www.mtgdc.info/

I seriously don't think tournament cEDH would work as well as 1v1. There's too many moving parts and social dynamics going on. Assembling a pod a running tournaments is already hard on its own.
>>
And they're going to replace Brawl on Arena with cedh.
>>
>>97655426
The entire reason they don't have Commander on Arena is because they coded the client like shit (again) so it literally can't support more than 2 players. It's at the point they think it's easier to make a third fucking client than bring it to Arena.
>>
>>97655433
I thought cedh is 1v1? I don't really play any edh and its offspring.

>>
>>97655409
>Aeonshift
I'm glad the guy decided to rename his format, this will lead to less confusion in the future as more people start getting into Duel Commander

>>97655426
cEDH is strictly a 4-player format and the card pool is bigger than vintage, it's never coming to arena in any shape or form

>>97655461
EDH is the casual 4-player format everyone is familiar with at this point, the "c" for competitive just means people are trying their best to win, there's no actual rule changes
Duel Commander is the 1v1 format, it's on MTGO and it has its own banlist and people in charge are not associated with WotC

I don't think that will happen but if it does, I'll keep playing Duel Commander

>I also read about a new format with a points system where good cards are worth more points effectively.
thats just $30 Value Vintage, good cards cost too much to be included in the deck (or are banned in all other formats so the price is low but you can easily edit the rule to use only the highest price a card ever hit to exclude those out too) and so far it's a pretty fun format.
also Penny Dreadful but that one is slightly too low power for me

How often do you guys play a game of the sealed draft game mode? Playing a 3 pack draft of a 5 dollar pack every week is like 750 dollars a year. So you want to be playing a game per week or every 2 weeks and be trading for what you need, ending up with a decent variety in your 1k-2k cards.
>>
>>97656122
>Playing a 3 pack draft of a 5 dollar pack every week
Fuck I wish I could find places to draft every week.
Adding up it's a lot, but in the end it's not that much more expensive than other activities you could do like watching a movie, eating good, or doing some bowling.
I'm currently selling my collection so whatever I open in draft is just thrown away once the event is over.

3-4 sets a year, with blocks was the sweet spot

>>97656277
Only 9 years ago... I'd be fine with them whoring out MtG a little, 3 sets and they can do a UB mini set like TMNT (just not in Standard) and Secret Lairs like usual. But 7 fucking sets a year added to Standard makes no fucking sense even from a sales perspective, at some point the pigs run out of milk and move on.

anon I'm just trying to give you advice as a Limited specialist who thousands of dollars in Limited tournaments last year.
look at this deck you posted.
you come on social media crying about the game being "rigged" against you but you are playing a 41 card deck with 8 green sources and 8 black sources.
you fundamentally have no idea what you're doing. you are a dogshit player who doesn't know how to build a proper limited deck.
your delusions tell you there is some grand conspiracy against you when this mana base fucks you over but it's entirely your own fault.
all you know how to do is force the best archetype in the format and then cry when it doesn't give you free wins, like most arena players.

Not him (thanks god). Nothing wrong unless you are playing arena. Arena is rigged, everyone knows it. There are certain land rations that guarantee good draws on their shuffler + (best of hands) opening hand system. I remember that they had to do a code fix up as to not allow players to play 15 mountains in standard and get away with it (until like 2022 you could play 15 mountains and 45 red spells and you would almost always get 2 mountain in hand and everyturn you would draw gass). And there are other confirmed rigging like likewise of playing against shit decks depending of what you have in your deck (or what deck you are playing). I don't think there are any confirmation about paypigs having advantages during match making or during game but I wouldn't be surprised to be honest.

Yes.

>>
>>97656277
Personally I always found even 3 sets a year uncomfortably fast, but I have to agree with the rest that from a business standpoint the "1 block of three sets + 1 bonus set per year" model was the sweet spot where the releases were as fast as they could be without damaging the game as a game. They could have likely kept that pace up indefinitely without ruining any format.

The damage is done though and I don't think there's any realistic way to undo it.

There are plenty of top-tier Premodern decks you can build that are relatively cheap.
From UG Madness (to even it's newer version, the GW Madness), to Sligh, White Wennie, to even Moneyball Black, etc. - All of these are pretty cheap is you use new printings of the cards.
You don't even need to proxie anything, but if you do, most tournaments allow up to 8 or 10 proxies, plus the gold border cards are always allowed as well.
Premodern is actually cheaper than most people think if you go for the newer printings. Granted that the cards won't look as good as the old ones, but if you're just looking for a cheap way to build a good deck, that's the best route.
Complaining about the price of the cards is no excuse, unless you really want the old frame ones.
>>

>There are plenty of top-tier Premodern decks you can build that are relatively cheap.

No there's not. There's maybe two.
I'm not going to fucking start a new format if I'm going to be constrained to playing Dark Ritual Hypnotic Specter: The Deck forever. That's insane. If I play Magic I want to play a different deck every time.

Universes Beyond could be okay if all UB cards were constrained to their own format where only UB cards can be used. Make it like a parallel game to MTG that has the same rules but no overlapping cards other than basic lands.

I did it just fine in 1994 and I should be able to do it now.
The fact is, I get bored of any deck after playing 5-10 games with it. I believe this is normal. That's why it's important that almost every deck in the format costs less than a hundred bucks.

I think youtubers doing MTGO content is unhealthy for the format. While yes it does raise awareness, it results in the same meta-slaving that plagues official formats. Even if the youtuber isn't playing Enchantress or Stiflenought himself, he will run into at least 1 opponent doing so and people who watch enough will notice that those decks persistently show up between leagues even if they aren't checking Goldfish. My LGS is still safe at least, proxy permitting and people just playing whatever they want. The monthlies we've had so far have been won by, in order,

Premodern exists for boomers to flaunt their old border cards. It's not a real format. Its a being format. It's why they don't allow Fallen Empires (FE cards disrupt the bling vibe) and why older sets aren't allowed, to not step on the other bling format: Oldschool.

Just let premodern die. Then someone will make a better format that will allow proxies and not be trying to stiff its nose up wotc's ass looking for official approval.

>>
>>97657475
No, I'm actually worse: I'm a premodern player.

And if FE was so useless, then why even ban it I'm the first place? I've talked to premodern players, and the reason is simply that FE is so affordable that seeing it on the table disrupts the vibe. It's accessible, and part of premodern is that its less accessible. A significant number of the premodern community wants to run 4 mox diamonds, etc. Premodern exists to also not step on the toes of Oldschool 93/94 players (who also ban FE for the same reason). I point this out just so people have the clear answer as to WHY premoder exists.

As for your other question, yeah, there's some cool power in the set and lots of fun tribal archtype cards. Namely though there's Goblin Grenade and Hymn to Tourach.

Stop being a fool. Simply go look and you'll see such comments in the community.

The official reason is that Premodern was made as a sissy format to Oldschool 93-94, not using any of its sets, so it set itself to be 1995 and onward. Oldschool openly excluded Fallen Empires because of its reputation of being so affordable. So if FE isn't an Oldschool set, why can't Premodern adopt it?

Because the intent of Premodern was vibes first, gameplay second. It was never meant to be a refuge from wotc's abuse. Playes looking to it for that are partially being misled and they'd be better off forging their own format that included the entire old border cardpool and openly allowed proxies.

You know this raises a question of how WotC actually plans to build their original brand image when the game's structure has been one of vapid consumption basically from its outset. Jumping from plane to plane with the majority of characters never being heard from again after their 1 year in the block set. Jacestice League was an attempt to recreate Weatherlight's Star Trek-lite recurring cast but they were all unlikable assholes so it went nowhere. Now without blocks, if they want people to feel invested in the characters, a small set of recurring characters is more important than ever, but the question is how do you even do this without it feeling insanely forced? Existing characters are basically paper-thin and doing fuckall in the story, and a new "protagonist" would be a sudden and blatant departure from how Magic is currently used to telling its story (that is, a disconnected clusterfuck).

I mean that's the larger problem. If you have a planeswalker running around to all these universes, why don't they intervene in situations they deem problematic but could resolve easily? Even Joe Schmoe (forma de spark) powerscales above most wizards without one. In similar stories (Star Trek, Dr. Who) the limiting factor is that generally the traveler is just some dude so there's very obvious limits to how much influence they can exert. The current state of planeswalkers basically runs into the Sorin/Ugin problem where you know they have all the power to fix anything they deem to even be a minor inconvenience, but if you let them do that all narrative tension instantly evaporates. WotC """tried""" fixing this by giving them a Trek-esque pseudo Prime Directive, but it was never explained why they do this (beyond abstract reasoning), and again it's not supported by how in Star Trek, the crew was still just random dudes with an exposition device and a stun gun so there were obvious limits to what they could do even in emergencies where the rules were less important. Meanwhile Magic is out here saying "the multiverse was about to end and Sorin was more focused on beating his daughter."

Value has decoupled from performance and if you stop and recognize that you're now dealing with toy consumers, it's actually pretty funny watching old school MTG finance types freak out about perfectly predictable price performance.

Also pretty nice because some really obvious collector's material across brands is appearing here that you can get for pennies on the dollar to valuation 20 years from now if/when the game survives that long and various legal issues or ownership challenges arise - as they often do over a few decades of IP management - to tank the partner's licensing potential.

correct, that's why pioneer is a mistake, wotc should let go of the idea of "nonrotating" formats because in truth the players themselves "rotate" (the average grinder would be lucky to have a 10year tenure), so closed formats like premodern are the most sustainable way of keeping the game going as not only do they serve as time capsules they also allow retirees to enjoy the game once they stop buying product while not forcing wotc to always up the power level

The problem for your comparison is paper game state management and this is why I will never contribute even one game to the Alchemy demon - as designing for that is the real Whore of Babylon, who will send this game down the dark path of randomized nonsense and unannounced interactions and ordering. Of course, its inevitable anyway as less game state management means a more accessible game which means more bodies to monetize, but I won't be the reason.

It really does scream design-by-data, and while its funny to know that this game is largely played by a population with rapidly relocating hair, any college kid likely could have done a better job doing business development with a call list and this prop.

Magic would experience a weird sort of cell death wherein even though they are a marked minority of actual players, by occupying critical positions in the fan base, development/community teams, and the brick-and-mortar network, they'd cause enough protracted issues for the supply chain, organized play, and media representation to kill the brand at national scale.

It'd end up replaced by some woke crowdfund-vibe e-celebrity cash grab bullshit that'd last for ~5-10 years optimistically. After dying nothing would replace it, except in some shadowy corner of the internet a Chinese whale-milking competitor.

Off topic but the most disgusting McDonald’s crossover was the vocaloid and utau shit. Not that western musicians care about selling out anymore (it’s not even something people seriously bring up as a critique), but I had kind of hoped that the producers behind all those classics would have a little more apprehension about turning them into ads for junk food.
Tetoris didn’t surprise me though. Despite liking it, that’s already a slop song.

Its not even that, though that is part of it. Millenials are just dogshit at writing stories. Academy was a show by theatre kids for theatre kids. And obviously the modern audience schlock hurts because the end result is a show full of girl bosses and bisexual characters everywhere which really no one cares about. Its ok and good to have attractive characters in your show but always the most important thing is having a compelling story. If your primary focus is on "representation" then its already over.

In regard to the wording of epic new pizza-themed turtle spell, "Cool but Rude" and other Classes too,
"This X" in the new templating references card type, NOT subtype or supertype. As far as the rules are concerned, "This class" refers to nothing at all, because "Class" is not a card type.
It should read "This enchantment..." if they wanted it to be functional.

>>97659237

It is, in fact, around 15 times better than Artist's Talent. Having Artist's Talent also be a wincon by itself is fucked beyond belief. This shit would be busted if it did ONE damage per discard.
