>>97726684pretty sure most of the top level japanese players from the pro tour days were confirmed to cheat.honestly almost every pro tour player from back then was probably cheating and angle shooting as much as often as they could get away with.digital magic has some upsides for comp.
How we fix this game?

>>97726756Players need to accept that Magic is an all-inclusive hobby now. Whether you're purchasing boxes to open for singles to sell, stockpiling them to flip .months or years later, or a retail reseller grabbing packs out of the hands of children at Walmart, all are welcome. Hate has no place in this hobby, chud.

>>97726910Every other card game does mini sets that they release after the main set that include cards that couldn't make it to the main set, why doesn't Magic?
>>97726804People who buy Magic to play it have to accept that this hobby isn't just about them. Players need to be less collector-phobic and accept customers from all walks of life. Diversity of Magic's portfolio is its strength.

>>97726912They could but Wotc won't because you can't draft with them and they would never sell them at an appropriate price
>>97726930The funny thing is that the “collectible” cards are fugly soulless bullshit

PlayDandanhttps://pastebin.com/g4CVDqSt
UB is the cancerPremodern is the cure
apparently the Dandan secretly lair is going to come with a bonus of 2 copies of Vision Charm.kind of want to open my second one and run 4x of these as a flex in Stiflenought, but then I won't be able to scalp it obviously.
>>97727919kys kike scalper
>>97726742Angle shooting is one of the most retarded things WotC allowed to become normalized in this game.
>>97726756Make something original rather than relying on other franchise's ip and tired tropes
>the cure is le proxy tard shitskins MACACOOOO rulesAryan School 93/94+1488 is the actual cure lmao
>>97727919>spending 100$ to make 200$ once>have to ship, eat a seller's fee and the chance that some fuckstick will claim it's damagedI'll never understand this. I guess if you have a business/infrastructure setup for it it's good margins, but as a one time or infrequent deal it seems like a hassle.
>>97728055it's a sought-after sold-out product, I'm just going to sell it to someone locally for cash at less than Ebay prices.if you got the chance to buy one for yourself it was a no-brainer to buy two.way easier to move than selling magic cards normally is.
>>97728054English Nigger, do you speak it?
>>97728193hope your kids end up on the Make a Wish foundation
>>97726666TQ
>>97728193Fair, local changes the game a lot because you don't have to eat a 10-15% seller fee and all sales are final. They do seem to be selling well though, the ebay ones are flying off the shelves at 200$ a pop and TCGplayers stock is already at the 275+ mark. I bought it on a whim because I liked the islands, glad I secured at least one to use/break up, yeesh.
>>97726666>TQF T KStandard version when? Hell, I'd take a 2R 2/1 that shot any target for 2 at this point...
>>97728423>Sear baked into a 4/2This is actually still a solid card.
>>97728469Yeah maybe if it wasn't 4 mana LMAO
>>97728600I'd unironically use it in current standard in my Zuko deck. You can blink it with Go Ninja Go, get two 4 damage shots out of it, and since it's 4 cost Quintorius Kand can discover it. I'm not saying it's a Badgermole Cub, but for a card that old it's still pretty decent.
>>97728616FTK was light-years ahead of its time, only really beaten out by Man-o'-war. In related news, that 3/2 elemental from ECL is a fucking pushed Man-o'-war.
>>97727976Who will get the BLACKED treatment at Hobbit set?
>>97728791Thorin Oakensheeet, lol
Try pyrogoyf its fucking siiiick
>>97728197Yes, you don't macaco.Aryans school 93/94 is just OS93/94, original cards only, original rules, no niggers, no faggots, no kikes, use dice to count lives.
>>97728897Fuarking based format...
>Jotc can “find Legends in a warehouse somewhere” to seed cards into Dominaria United packs but can’t “find” a warehouse full of unopened Premodern sets for this new format.Almost as if kikes are allergic to soulful sets
>>97728942>Wanting them to shit up your formatThis is how you get premodern horizons.
>>97728958Not true, since the very definition of the format is only cards printed in those sets alone, no reprints allowed. Which is weird if you want anyone else to play your format.
>>97728791Only the hawks and goblins are immune to diversity
>>97728993Hasbrews managed to make the new DND Orcs into beaners
>>97728987>only cards printed in those sets alone, no reprints allowedoh wow this is so stupid
>>97728616>id unironically use it in current standard in my [insert UB sloppa here] deckoff yourself
>>97728942You will get premodern cards in UB eternal slots. give it a couple years for the design team. MTGO just became milkable a couple months ago
>>97729014>Refusing to engage with half of standard because you're a whiny bitchSomething tells me you'll be the one offing yourself.
>>97728897German/Danish, blonde and blue eyed. Old magic is good magic. I just can't understand your insistence that this format that's played worldwide is somehow specific to Brazilians. Is Legacy the Korean format? Standard the Mexican format? Let alone, I never see you discussing the format you're promoting here. R U A SHILL?!?!?!? With a discord too, no less?!?!?!?!? Dumb nigger. t. literal Aryan
>>97728987>>97729011Anon, that isn't true at all. You could run an entirely new border premodern deck, and it would be completely legal. Printing is irrelevant beyond personal preference.
>>97729208Standard is the Kike format which is why White has been gone from it for 8 years since FIRE design.
the new deadpool secret lair is fun and I'm tired of pretending it isnt.
>thread degenerates into ritual postingthats for sure a sign of a living game
>>97729453Why were you pretending in the first place?
>>97728423This is currently the closest version currently.
>>97729453I already have so many fucking prints of the cards in it I can't see buying it.
>arena midweek event is brawl challenge>decide to build around Leo and Don because i had fun in draft with them>get to building>"I need to add few enchantment and artifact destructions on creatures">THERE IS WHOOPING ONE WHITE CREATURE THAT DOES THIS ON ETB AND ONLY ENCHANT WHILE COSTING 3 MANAWhat the fuck, green has 10 of those, and they can target artifacts.

>>97729474you dont know? just how i love trans people who I think are a benefit to the world and every local community.
>>97729208>Old magic is good magicThen use the old ruling instead of playing with foundation rules
>>97729540damage belongs on the stack.paris > london
>>97729551>paris > londonhearthstone > both
>>97729540>>97729551Damage started going on the stack in 6th edition, faggot. You're going to talk about 93/94 magic with damage on the stack? Faggots. I agree the mulligan rule of the time should be in effect. Regardless, it's the best format with any tournament scene to speak off and it's spared all of wotc's greed and continued degradation of the game.
>>97729753Faggots annihilated

>>97730142i still dont know what the fuck is "foundations"Is this some kind of core set at the start of the year? are we going to have EIGHT sets this year
>>97730154How new
>>97730183Not new i just left shortly after CummiesInMyTummiesGawa for personal reasons. Returned for TMNT because draft looked interesting. Its true, draft is great, gets boring super quick thou.
>>97726684https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-1XvnIWWtoReminder that paper MTG is rigged with cheating, and is a scam.
>>97730190Core sets get shat on a lot so wotc decided to revamp it with foundations, a core set that will last 5 years in standard so they dont have to release a core set every year
>>97730248>a core set that will last 5 years in standardFacinating, surely this decision will never ever backfire.
>skateboard is now an eternal staple>various other incongruous cards tooIs magic entering a death spiral?
>>97730274Unironically foundations is tame compared to the rest of the standard sets right now
>>97730279Yes. Unless something derastic happens and we get mass Omenpathing of cards paired with UB ban it's over
Over status?
>>97730319sure is!
>>97729753I didn't say anything about damage, but legends rule and blocking order were different back then
>>97730319There's still hope for a new Nissa this Pride. It's not over before then.
>>97730319Dandan will save this game. For me, it's the red head.
is riftbound fun and skillful?
Rakdos girls make Ravnica worth it.
>>97730442I like Riftbound a lot, but I have only played it on the context of "two starter decks played on a kitchen table".
If i want to leave this game which is the best choice? Shadowverse? Lorcana? YuGiOh?
>>97729520>white kiked againTale as oyvey as time
>>97729520Green was always a color of enchantment and artifiact destruction?
>>97730727Weak bait
>>97727787Powerlevel is so cranked, each card needs to be both setup and payoff just to be good
>>97730594Retro Yugioh formats like Goat and Edison are lots of fun. Outside of that, probably Sorcery: Contested Realm. Has lots of the older magic artists, beautiful artwork all around, very interesting gameplay, and who knows how long this will be true, but the company is small and very good to its players. They release one set a year, and we're 4 in so far. I'd recommend any of the starter boxes, you get 4 precons for about 40 bucks.
>>97730762179 cards where the colors ≥ G and (the text includes “destroy” and the text includes “artifact”)91 cards where the colors ≥ W and (the text includes “destroy” and the text includes “artifact”)176 cards where the colors ≥ G and (the text includes “destroy” and the text includes “enchantment”)138 cards where the colors ≥ W and (the text includes “destroy” and the text includes “enchantment”)
If you really love this game you’ll take your chaff and make a bunch of fun decks with basic rules and anti-UB propaganda enclosed and start giving them out to randos

How does a new player actually upgrade their decks and start building a collection in the big 26?
>>97731459choose the format(s) you want to play then build 1 competitive deck for each and be done with it.
>>97731459>new playeri would recommend observing the game first before putting money into iti would not recommend getting into the game now
>>97731459Buy the starter collection and a jumpstart booster box, then go from there.
>>97731459Pick a non rotating format or a different game. Sorcery is amazing. I've heard great things about Lorcana, One Piece and Digimon too.
>>97731459Simply you dont.Avoid this shit and do something better with your money.
I got the Dan Dan. What sleeves or box are anons using for it? Since there's no extra shit I was going to sleeve in hard inners and DS mattes in a coral ultimate guard sidewinder but idk if the 100 or 133 is the better fit.
>>97731459Play Dandan https://pastebin.com/g4CVDqSt
>>97731712>What sleeves or box are anons using for it?I didn't buy it. Half foils is enough of a reason not to. It's going to pringle so bad.
>>97731712I’m going to double sleeve with KMC inners and outers. I considered DS but have found KMC generally better. Dragon shield are super inconsistent with sizes in my experience.
>>97731755Kmc perfect hards from Japan are the best inners. The dragon shield thick inners are garbage in comparison to.

>>97731961I bought mine for msrp. Go fuck yourself scalper.
Fucking hell WotC is really spamming this viral marketing shit with the Dandan garbage.
>>97731984I really hope the people ITT are joking about buying it, otherwise the only people left playing this game are pigs and trannies.
ngl if i cared for a quick buck i'd also scalp this game (if you can even call this a game anymore)but i honestly don't give a shitplaying the lottery is far more consistent in the long term

last thing i bought was FF starter deck because of arena codes
>>97731975Question. I'm new to this secret lair shit. Do people literally just hit refresh on their browser until you can buy it and quickly add to cart? And even then, those who did it within one second still have a chance of not getting it?
>>97732131You get in a pre-queue up to an hour beforehand. Your place in queue from there is randomised when it hits the right time. There's a lot of luck involved when things are popular.
>>97732131No, in order to get access to the Secret Lair to purchase you have to send a piece of your foreskin to Hasbro Corporate HQ and you will get a designated time slot of when you can purchase.
>>97732131i just contected an hour before the drop happened, got into a pre waiting line, and in 5 minutes i got to buy itpeople who complain about it running out are brainlets that beging the que on announced time
>>97732131It's just scalpers doing bots and filling the queues.No real person actually buys this slop and every post on the internet claiming they bought it are just scalpers.
>>97732158I also bought the D&D one, the bag of holding set. Still waiting for it. My Dandan one is already shipped, while Roll for Initiative has come and gone from their planned shipping date. My guess is they had some QC issues like with Fallout and are fixing it. I can wait. I'm planning to make a D&D themed cube at some point but have other cubes to play with friends until then.
Has anyone here played the monored dandan with the red herrings? what list did you use? was it fun?

Prof upgraded, his new Tranny has way bigger tits but the dude doesn't even put on a feminine voice, no way I could get hard with that thing looking at me.
Please don't disrespect Prof's wife like that.
>only available nearby ff play boosters costs 9 euros per booster at lgs>stores that aim to be affordable are out of stock>no massive reprint wave in sightI just want to draft with friends.
>>97732479Make a set cube.
>>97732131I hadn't bought anything from WotC in over a decade but they made Dandan pretty straightforward to get. Thought it would be harder.
>>97732479Have you considered branching out into drafting a set made for straight people?
>>97726797That's Pokemon cards, Magic is the one pushing gay shit that rots in game stores if it's not FF and all.
>>97726666I basically know nothing about Magic but have a friend who likes it so I decided to give it a try.What's the MTG equivalent of a deck like Miracle Rogue in Hearthstone?We're playing online and using the pauper list.
>>97732681In Pauper I believe cyclestorm is probably the closest thing. In Premodern there's fluctuator. I would advise not playing combo if you're new to the game though. Although I loathe to recommend tier 1 decks, you could try playing Terror in pauper which is a tempo deck. I don't think there's an equivalent in Hearthstone, maybe aggro secret mage is the closest thing but I haven't played in years.
>>97732681A storm deck would be the closest thing to Miracle rogue. There are some decklists for modern. Not sure why you'd enjoy that with friends though, it's basically a game of solitaire on your end.
if i had friends i would have not gotten into magic
>>97732797>>97732807How about burn decks, then? I imagine those must surely be a thing? Although with most card games it really seems to depend on the meta whether they're viable or not.
>>97732855Burn is playable in most formats, yeah, although it can be a bit linear if you're newer to the game and all you're doing is me hit faec. If you're new to the game I really would suggest you avoid new cards and stick to like 2013 or earlier.
>>97732855Yes burn is very good. The problem you're going you're going to run into with kitchen table magic is some decks are simply too good. Like if you just want to win every game play turbo genius or something else insanely powerful. If you and your friends just want to play pauper here are the top decks https://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper#paper none of them are very expensive. If you want to draft without breaking the bank come together and invest in a cube, there are budget and pauper cubes on cubecobra and it's also not to hard to proxy a cube for cheapish. The reason commander is so popular is because it kind of breaks the barriers to winning of money. Anything can happen with diplomacy if your deck is half decent.I'd suggest talking to your group about what format you want to play and if it's all online the cost shouldn't be prohibitive. Personally I prefer cube or limited.People have been going on about Dandan on here because of the secret lair. I prefer another one of Nick's versions of the game called Rock-Paper-Scissors which is a three player game. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z2AEeOtbwzM_dplDE-60iUjH0_pbZXd8_-smYEATovc/edit?usp=sharing

fucking WHEN?!
>>97732977Just ignore the retards. They don't even play mtg.
>>97731072Aetherdrift because it has Loot. Don't you love Loot? Loot is really cute and the new face of magic. Please buy your Loot pal on Arena and be ready for the next goodies with Loot!
>>97733107>VigilanceThis is the part that annoys me the most. Sure it's very rarely on green creatures but they just throw it on fucking anything these days. It should be almost exclusively on white. But they fucking hate white. So their baby yoda copy that came 2 years too late is a fucking joke. Fuck that card. Fuck WoTC too.
>>97732980What's the difference between a strobe knight and a strobe light?
>>97733107that card is pushed as all helljfc
>>97732977nta, complete tangent:I know this is literally the point of Standard but ironically the gap between PS and """real Standard""" is indicative of a larger problem which is why Modern mogged Standard in player numbers until MH/LTR permanently ruined the format. People don't like investing in expensive cardboard with an expiration date. I'd say most players pick up a game to build and play some shitty petdeck so it's a real bitter pill for them to swallow being told their deck will be rendered invalid for the sake of the meta. Unfortunately WotC has demonstrated nothing short of profound mental retardation when it comes to card design so Modern has become a poisoned well for appealing to this demographic, which is likely why we have the abomination that is current "Standard" that never rotates.Playing shitty petdecks is also why so many people like Commander but that format is rapidly buckling under the rate at which WotC is printing ultrapushed slop into the format with a UB label so people will do mental gymnastics trying to justify including it, basically forcing Timmies and Johnnies to confront the exact play patterns they were trying to avoid by playing Commander (fucking 3-drops that win the game if not answered instantly).
whats so good about sorcery?

>>97731459Getting into 60-card formats to play IRL-with-paper is a losing proposition (and it has been horribly inaccessible for years). The best ways to play this game are as follows (in no particular order):>Free to play / low-spend on MTGA>become a MTGO enjoyer>become a commando player (either proxy a deck entirely, or get a recent-ish precon and optionally upgrade it)>Play pauper at the LGS>Convince your friends to play some random format (cube, draft, kitchen table, etc.), play with either budget cards or proxies.
>>97732630DGM was the last set made for straight people and it had a shitty draft environment.
One thing that's fascinating about MTG Goldfish's Standard tournament, is learning just how balanced the game had been for most of its history.Yes, some specific notorious moments are obvious powerhouses, but for the most part all the decks appear competitive against one another. Decades apart, regardless of era. Shit's crazy.
>>977341941994 deck beating Oko was a spectacle
>>97734224>1994 deck beating Oko was a spectacleFires almost stealing a match from Rev Control. Similar lists from decades apart almost going even. It's unironically remarkable how well balanced the game was for DECADES.Yes, you can see the power creep through the years. Snapcaster Mage as a finisher is obviously overloaded compared to Chimeric Idol. Still crazy knowing two lists that should be eons apart still result in interesting games and a relatively even match.
>>97734239Too bad Caw Blade, arguably the most iconic Standard deck and the reason Jace was the face of the game, had to endure FIRE humiliation ritual.I hope Academy combo crushes all the newshit
dead game lmao
>>97733185Based on the name the Strobe Knight actually produces something tangible.
>>97734273so true bestie
>>97734265>Too bad Caw Blade, arguably the most iconic Standard deck and the reason Jace was the face of the game, had to endure FIRE humiliation ritual.That's the flipside of the point. How FIREslop just completely fucking shrugged off and slapped the shit out of one of Standard's most iconic powerhouse decks.How Saproling Fires can remain competitive against decks decade later, but the FIRE era simply shitstomps everything else. The whole tournament so far has been a titanic showcase of how out of control power creep is now, and previously never was.

>>97734171They want you playing digital formats because then you won't actually own anything of value, eventually the only cards they will print will be limited edition serial releases, and when the LGS dies WotC will write a sad letter to the community, but already have cashed out from the actual paper players entirely.

>nobody made another EDH thread, again
>>97735338brackets ruined edh

>>97735298WoTC has been trying to push Chandra as a character people actually give a shit about since 2014.
>>97735338Casual anons take thread baking casually
>>97735346endless UB speculation spam killed edh
edh is dead with all wotc pushingany deck for any commander is literally 98% predetermined at this point
>>97735346I think WotC ruined commander. Brackets are actually good. Need some tweaking, but they are good. Kind of what players were already doing on their own from the beginning but now in a structured organization.
>>97735364Every deck is predetermined because there are objectively correct cards to run.
>>97735368Brackets are just formats in practice yes
>>97735338The format is so fucking dead. Brackets took what was the meme of "My deck's a 7" and the ENTIRE GAMEPLAY OF THE FORMAT of "find out who is the biggest threat and take them out one by one until it's 1v1." and turned it into a dusty, corporate wasteland.
>>97735330>2026>proxytards think i buy wotc product for cardboard and not to send a messageAll those UB purchases? All me.
>>97735352I don't think that's Chandra. That's a boy. Chandra is not a boy.
>>97735368>I think WotC ruined commander. Brackets are actually good.I don't think brackets are good but I think it's something we can agree to disagree on, and still have the format be ruined.Imo brackets only did damage, making everything more stale and same-y. Importantly, though, Brackets only did extra damage. The damage of "Print broken shit that's an auto-include in every fucking deck." did far more damage already. The format has been wasting away since Edgar.
>>97735400Your rant can be ported to 60 card (insert format here) and will not make a difference whatsoever
>>97735383>find out who is the biggest threat and take them out one by oneYou actually dont want to take them out one by one filthy casual, only sweats will understand why
>shit on modern with Horizons>cardboardtard pigs gobble your shit without squeeing>shit on standard with 7 sets per year>cardboardtard pigs gobble your shit without squeeing>shit on edh by pushing absolutely broken cards in precons>cardboardtard pigs gobble your shit without squeeing>shit on pauper by pushing broken common cards in same edh precons>cardboardtard pigs gobble your shit without squeeing>shit on legacy and vintage from time to time>cardboardtard pigs gobble your shit without squeeingI am starting to notice a pattern
>>97735368the game changer list was just a banlist that still allows people to resell their cards at full value. a good thing yes but brackets are still bad with dumb rules like no [arbitrary archetype] allowed or whatever while ignoring others just as powerful
>>97735423>You actually dont want to take them out one by one filthy casual, only sweats will understand whyYeah, yeah. The purpose of EDH is to lose actually, I know.
>>97735429It took you THIS LONG to realize that mtg is all about power and nothing else?Holy retard
>>97735434>the game changer list was just a banlist that still allows people to resell their cards at full value. a good thing yes
>>97735436You're definitely not gonna win a single game with that kind of attitude mister anon
>>97735443if they straight up banned all the cards on that list at once (like they should be). the format would actually die and the people who are responsible for it. this already almost happened with only 3 cardsnow you could argue the death of the format and the people working on it would be a good thing but that's only short term.
They need duel lands that come into play untapped and say if you played this card from your hand draw a card. That would fix standard.
>>97735434Formats like modern bans [arbitrary sets like pre 8ED and commander sets] though
>>97735300You use Fatal Push for that not Force.
>>97735352>that flavor text nuclear dose of cringe
>>97735484now imagine if they just changed that today to include [you are favorite set] for no reason
>>97735515Proxying is the sincerest form of flattering wotc correct
>>97735338You do it then.
>>97735515Aw come on that one is fine. It's Odyssey era tier gag flavor text.
>>97735517The point is wotc already arbitrarily bans 7ED from modern so how is that any different from them arbitrarily banning MLD other than your biased love for destroying lands even as you durdle and not finish the game in a timely manner
>>97735533You're right. I guess we should all stop complaining about "funny" flavor text on ub cards then. They're all fine. It's just a reference to odyssey era.
>>97735397With how her chest looks these days it's hard to tell, but I think the implication is that Young Pyromancer is a fan of Chandras who is immolating things as a form of flattery (to her, his HERO).>>97735552>if you think this one flavor text is fine then you LOVE UB!!!!!!What did she mean by this?
>>97735506You protect your Tamiyo with Force and recoup the card advantage with your retarded blue Ragavan.
>>97735547because it didn't use to be like that AND they are not touching things like discard. are you saying you would be okay WotC changing which sets are legal in the format all of a sudden?
>>97735564>This extremely shitty flavor text is totally fineWhat did xhe mean by this?
>>97735592>all of a suddenWotc once said UB wouldnt be standard legal and now they are, how naive are you really?
>>97735625I'm not saying I wasn't aware it could happen. I'm saying I'm mad that it did. just like how MH ruined modern and I'm mad about that too. they just can't stop fucking formats and way too many people are okay with it because of toxic positivity
>>97735592>Because it didn't used to be like thatWeird I remember seeing lots of Cockatrice lobbies with "NO MLD NO STAX".
>>97735728>they just can't stop fucking formatsUnfortunately formats have no identity other than "this and this set is legal and this and that card is banned/restricted"For comparison premodern has an identity, which is a time capsule of 1995-2003 gameplay
>>97735752I was thinking about this with the last Prof vid about Block sets. He complains that current Standard decks are either piles of the best cards in given colors or are focused synergy piles from single sets. But the thing is, that’s every fucking format so what can you do about that?
>>97735770>But the thing is, that’s every fucking format so what can you do about that?Exactly and that's why closed formats are the future, because as much as players say they want no rotation, truth is they themselves rotate because life happens
>>97735750>cocktrice = community barometer
>>97735787>truth is they themselves rotate because life happensthis is some deep wisdom right here wish i could upvoote
>>97735770>He complains that current Standard decks are either piles of the best cards in given colors or are focused synergy piles from single sets.People really do need to accept that mtg is ultimately a pvp game, smash players somehow are wiser

>>97735338What a surprise! Another format that people just claim to play but don't actually do it.Yes, I'm aware EDH is widely played but there is absolutely nothing new or interesting about to talk about, much like 60 card formats in 2026...

>>97730279>A flat piece of wood with 4 wheels is too unrealistic for the fantasy game
>>97736115This one doesn’t even feel like it would be broken, they just can’t trust the community to keep track of Perpetual stats
>>97736239Alchemy gets some begrudgingly great art and interesting cards.I wonder what kind of meme combos you could make with this (nobody will ever know because no one wasted all their Mythic wildcards on such a dead, temporary format)
>>97736239>they just can’t trust the community to keep track of Perpetual statsThey absolutely can though.
>>97736255huh, you should be able to stack the evoke triggers so that Sin brings itself back
>>97736270Not the same. When you play a Skullbriar, everyone knows about counters on Skullbriar.Only one player knows what perpetually targets.
>>97736318>counter a spell. note it's type. you may exile cards from your hand face down. at the start of you [phase] put a perpetual counter on it.>you may cast spells exiled this way for as long as they remain exiled. if it shares a card type with the noted card, they cost {1} less to cast for each perpetual counter on it
>>97736318ENTER
TQ - the turtleKamigawa, where the fish had to take to the skies to avoid being eaten to extinction. RIP in peace kappa
>>97736389That's a big turtle.
>>97736372Yeah I'm gonna put perpetual counter on invalid cards, and then just move them around when I draw the card that applies.>>97736386Unless you want the cards with the counter lie in a separate pile. Or visible marked. But then the other player gains the knowledge of how many cards of the countered type you own.
>>97736419You put clips on all of the cards you had in hand when you cast Absorb Energy.
>>97736409for you
>>97736419Am I missing something? Can't you just keep the counter separate and check when the person casts? So if you counter an instant, and the player casts an instant, everybody can see it's valid just by setting the countered card aside right?
>>97736386reject stickers, embrace paperclips
The feedback was absolute bullshit. Universes Beyond would be far better received if it was just 15-20 cards every so often.
>>97736424But then you, the opponent, knows how many cards of that type I have?>>97736445But only instants I have currently in hand get the discount.
>>97736474Oh, I see the issue, it's a snapshot effect, not for every instant you might cast from your hand from then on. Yeah that's a bit of a problem.
>>97736474No, the opponent only knows which cards you had in hand when you cast Absorb Energy. Absorb Energy applies to all cards in hand, but only gives the cost reduction to cards that shared a card type with the countered spell.
>>97736468Going forward a majority of all cards will be printed under the Universes Beyond initiative.
>>97736481Yes.>>97736484Yes. I understand how this works.Let's say I have 5 cards when I counter your instant, but I only have Go for the Throat in my hand.Do you want me to paperclip it, put on the separate pile? Then you know I have only one instant, you gain an advantage.Do you not want to track it? Then I draw another instant my next turn, and I will tell I had it in hand when I Absorbed Energy before.
>>97736452You'd probably use both. Clips for when the perpetual card is in your hand, stickers for when you put the card in your library or graveyard.>>97736505You don't understand the card whatsoever and I suspect you might be ESL. It doesn't apply to cards you draw later in the game, it only applies to the cards in your hand when the spell resolves. Let me break it down for you:>me play lightning bolt>you play absorb energy>absorb energy resolves>absorb energy check cards in your hand>instants in hand? all cost 1 less.>go for the throat cost 1 less>me pass turn>you draw card>instant? no cost 1 less>you draw brainstorm>you play go for the throat>it cost 1 less>you play brainstorm>it no cost 1 less>you put cards back onto your deck>instants on top? they still cost 1 less.
