Magali has some good pieces, but I always feel like something is a bit off that prevents me from calling her women total babes like Argyle's art, or even the Foglio hotties. I think they feel too photographic, like they're heavily based on a model, and haven't been stylized enough (unlike, say, DiTerlizzi's wife Frozen Shade)

I really enjoy the works of Baxa and Ian Miller. Style I want to see more of their style on Mtg cards, but they've both succeeded enough to only be occasional promo artists.

>Who could do this? Not in the moral sense, anyone could do most of anything if they had the right motivation, more like who *could* do this. Duplicating the Multiverse would require mastery of a half-dozen forms of spellwork, and even if one could memorize everything, the control needed to wield that without turning one's brains to risotto is immeasurable. A monk, perhaps? Something more than your average sapient? A demon? An angel?

Jace is pretty defined by his mental control, he was able to comprehend Emrakul enough for them to have a nice chat over tea when she intruded on his mind instead of instantly turning into a gibbering lunatic

Judging by his recent loading screen quotes on Arena, he also seems to have gone completely off his rocker in the "obsessive ascended understanding" way, which is a trope proven to make your mental capacity increase beyond previous limits

It's thanks to Loot. Despite looking like a fuzzy Charmander his brain contains a map simulation of the multiverse that is, as far Jace can discern, perfectly accurate to the real thing and updated in real time. Expect this to get explored in more detail as Jace's scheme is fully revealed and Quintorius investigates deeper into the Coin Empire of Loot's people.

Nethergoyf is a vanilla creature too and that sees play. Trudge is obviously weaker because it requires additional setup, but my point is that the lack of trample or evasion is not the issue here. A cost efficient beater is still useful. Death's Shadow is another example of that.

Enchantment

When this enchantment enters, create a 0/0 blue and green Fractal creature token. Put three +1/+1 counters on it.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. It gains vigilance until end of turn.

Such a hard question.

If I had to pick one, and only one, it's this guy. One of the many ways I've prayed monks would be reworked is to either make them like serene master (weird combat shit, also shout out to fleet footed monk), or this dude (my enlightenment superpower is you cant shoot shit at me, and I'm going to punch you in the face).

>>97849588
I think it's the result of them pushing a "Stuff leaving the graveyard matters" on RW of all colors for some reason. It's really just a big reanimation target (either artifact or creature) that you can hopefully recycle.

Black and Blue should have been the colors for what they pushed onto R/W, but I guess it's at least fortunate it's not more "equipment matters" shit.

Creature - Avatar

Trample, Reach

Converge - This creature enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each different color of mana paid to cast it.

Whenever you cast a creature spell, that creature enters the battlefield with an additional X +1/+1 counters, where X is equal to the number of different colors of mana you paid to cast it.

>when this land enters...
>A triggered ability can be identified by the words "when," "whenever," or "at", which will usually be found at the start of the ability. The phrase that contains one of those words lists the conditions (the trigger event or trigger state) where the ability will trigger. When it does, the ability goes on the stack (unless it's a mana ability), and responses can be played.
>>
>>97851807
>>97851821
Correct me if I'm wrong
>Your opponent plays Petrified Hamlet.
>The land enters the battlefield.
>Its triggered ability goes on the stack (“choose a land name”).
>Players get priority before that ability resolves.

The hamlet's ETB uses the stack doesn't it? You can't respond to a land being played but you can for the ETC right?
>>
>>97851837
>>97851840
I realize you're new to the game and haven't encountered this admittedly confusing wording before, but choosing the name isn't actually an ETB trigger. Go look up how Pithing Needle works if you need an example.
>>
>>97851516
i mean, it's a great silver bullet card but that's about it
besides shutting down wasteland and certain lands like thespian's stage, what are you going to use this for?
>>
>>97851849
but Pithing Needle is worded differently. "As Pithing Needle enters.." makes it a replacement effect, which doesn't use the stack. Hamlet has a triggered ability denoted by "When", which uses the stack.
>>
>>97851849
Pithing Needle's wording is "AS this enters" instead of "WHEN this enters", which is the key difference here.
>>
>>97851850
Shuts down manlands and fetches too, but yeah it's mostly just a silver bullet
>>
>>97851821
>>97851837
>>97851840
I suspect that Anons are mixing it up with cards like Pithing Needle or Clone that have effects "as ~ enters the battlefield". You are correct that, as currently worded, Hamlet is an ETB trigger that can be responded to.
I imagine that JotC decided it would be too powerful to put an 'as ~ enters' on a land given that with spells like Pithing Needle you can at least do things while the spell is on the stack but it's retarded design to create a wording that is so similar to a template they have used multiple times in the past. It will definitely continue to cause confusion.

You're right, there doesn't seem to be any other card with such wording. But I believe that it's intentional because it's on a land, and land drops cannot be responded to.

>>97851875
when someone plays the Hamlet, do they choose a land card name before other players get a chance to respond, or only after the ETB has fully resolved? not that either option would prevent the ETB trigger from being responded to, but since it's not a target I'm unsure of when the name gets declared

The thing is this case is that the effect itself is something that WotC has moved away from. They are willing to print "draw three cards" on a resonably costed card, but "destroy all lands" is text that they avoid even if printed with a high cost.
>>
>>97851921
I believe that JotC did what they intended to with this card but I do also think it is a mistake and that nobody on the design team knows how to design cards properly.
>>97852238
"Draw 3 cards" is something that JotC has no problem printing. "Destroy all lands" is
all but unprintable. The last time I remember a card getting that text was Bearer of the Heavens and Fall of the Thran (which hardly counts). I don't remember if Bearer of the Heavens was the first Theros block or Beyond Death but either way it was a long time ago.
The problem with Ancestral Recall is the rate. The problem with Armageddon is the effect. If you do not understand this, there is no way to move forward in this discussion.

WotC seems to want to veer more towards planes like Archavious, Ravnica and Duskmorn because they want to shove all these different characters together but don't want to bother creating unique stories and proper set-ups and payoffs in distinct planes. These "all planes just come here" planes are the "solution" for current WotC storytelling which feels a bit lazy, but still better than the shitty hat sets, I suppose.

>>97854166 (is me)

My friend might agree, but I am a huge newb, so my friend is compromising by playing LOL with me instead of suggesting DOTA.

I am biased negatively against DOTA for a few reasons:
I tried to on-board into the genre with Valve's Artifact and DOTA Underlords and got shit on twice. I don't trust Valve as a developer anymore.
LOL has way better rule 34. LOL has Yordles. I don't know what the DOTA equivalent would be
I also play Riftbound, so I am more invested in LOL.

DOTA seems like sweaty autism, I am not interested. LOL is more casual and that's a good thing.

If you think about it it's kinda fucked up that it's almost exclusively dragons and demons that get slapped with elder status. You'd think elder angels would exist since they're the obvious counterpart to demons, but nope. Not a single elder angel accounted for in any set. It's a bleak multiverse where the good guys always die first.

Enchant removal should 100% be in green. black is barely better than red at interacting with enchants. Black can get reanimation in its bag instead if you want to be cute and slightly disingenuous

Wtf

I don't like how Prepared is a repeating state that has no indicator. There's too much of this stuff you have to keep track of like Day/Night and the Shitty's Blessing and Adventure but even worse because a lot of the Prepared cards toggle this thing on and off.
This is 100% Arenaslop Kicker. It doesn't even make sense because the creature is Prepared but has Summoning Sickness? I hate this so much.

what's so hard about animating flying static masks?
>>
>>97855815
we don't have the technology anymore, it's been lost same as many classic 2D animation skills
that's why they can't bring back Bionicle
