>>97855783When you see the various avatars and shit that roam around Strixhaven and think about the concept of Lorehold, the plane actually has potential to be interesting but then you realize 90% of it is some faggoty Glee shit and only 1 guild gives a fuck about the outside world
>>97855783>TQ
>>97855794it's the izzet bias in actionizzet gets everything good because fuck you
This guy is my favorite, but he shouldve been a fucking monk.
So... Is SoS a good set?
>TQThe OG. The ebin
>>97855816people floating without flying
>>97855818nolegacy is about to rotate (again) because of it
>>97855818What you think anon? You think this "Prepare" shit is something good?
>>97855838>Reanimate Ancestral Recalllol
I have a hard time differentiating the colorless archaics.
>>97855854sEvEnTh CoLoR oF mAnA cOnFiRmEd
>>97855854>the archaics raged across the landAlso in the same set>becky TOTALLY got snubbed at the lunch table!
>>97855854Are all archaics identical? They all look the same to me.
>>97855872Sounds fair. Even with great catastrophic events college is still shit.
In universe shared roots now I get to play it in standard.
Cool bear
>>97855847Why would I reanimate a 5/5 to pay 1 to Ancestral Recall when I can reanimate Atraxa and just get Ancestral Recall
>>97855818Not really, no. Just as I skipped Lorwyn, and TMNT, I'm skipping Strixhaven. On to skipping Marvel, can't wait.
>>97855818Yes. kind of genuinely infuriating that mtg is on a roll of incredible out-of-the-park in-universe sets at a time when thats also interspersed with bottom of the barrel ip slop
Winds of Abandon is funny in Japanese.
>>97855921>mtg is on a roll of incredible out-of-the-park in-universe sets
Kikes of the coast don’t care anymore about color pie uniqueness Blue literally does everything now
>>97855902That looks lesbian.>>97855903I've seen cooler.
>>97855930I don't get it
>>97855930Every overload card is a nightmare to translate because it's very reliant on english sentence structure. Cleave is just as bad.
>>97855783They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
>>97855949blue does base power toughness fuckery all the time. this doesn't even kill at 0 so what's the problem
>>97855957I hate to be one of those every mechanic is kicker people but cleave is actually literally just kicker.
>>97855930Yet again another Mystical Archive where the EN art mogs the JP one. It feels like they didn't even get the same brief this time.
>>97855936Lorwyn Eclipsed was great, Strixhaven is looking great, Mystical Archive truly knocked it out of the park this time with how good it all looks, Edge of Eternities was genuinely a top 10 set of all time, Dragonstorm was really good too, yes. 4-set winstreak.
>>97855783>TQThis whole cycle was kino but this is my favorite.
>>97855949>nonlethally changing creatures base power and toughness>not blueWhat?
>>97855994Almost had me, but you went a little too over the top with this bait.
>>97856021>noooo! you can't like a set just because it has good flavor art and mechanics! you need to be new thing bad like me!!!!
>>97855975Blue doesn't usually get p/t boosting effects. They often get to make things small and rarely get to set things to mid-power P/T (4/4 or 5/5) but I don't feel that Mirror Entity style p/t setting is blue. It's most similar to something like Kessig Wolf Run where you just turn a mana sink into huge damage. It should 100% have green in its cost and I think could work as either WG or UG comfortably. Mono blue is, in my opinion, a bad design.
>>97855804I miss Chippy so much it's fucking unreal.
>>97855965MY QUEEN>>97855973Also an excellent answerSince my first two picks were already taken by anons of great taste I will instead nominate pic related.
>>97855994Dragonstorm was raw ass IMO and EoE was a little too gay for me but I agree Lorwyn and Strixhaven are beating expectations handily.
>>97856048Why are the giants mad at school children?
>>97856009That's only 1 "mode" of that card Anon.It's alos a Giant Growth variant if you pay enough
>>97856058Jace told them about UB
>>97856032mm I guess it is kinda a blue howl from beyond
>>97856048>gonna be pricey>moneyis this all zoomers think?
>>97856086zoomers don't have money, that's scalpers
>>97856032Anon, using this to make anything bigger then 4/4 is staggeringly innefficient, and Blue gets X/X power and toughness anyway.>>97856060Yes and Blue also gets staggeringly innefficient growth spells involving base power. They're a classic. Dreadful as the Storm, Biomass Mutation, Mercurial Transformation for one that can both shrink and grow, Octavia Living Thesis, Octopus Umbra, Serpetine Ambush, etc.
>>97856092do scalpers use chat?
>>97856048This card confuses me. The effect would have me believe that the archaic is gonna kill everybody but the art looks like one of those what if we all shoot our differently colored beams at the same time to finally fell the beast kind of moments.
>>97856100it's 2026 anon, your boomer grandma is using chat
tq
>>97856093There is actually a lot of these X/X blue spells.
>>97856032It's worse version of green's power boosting spells. Changing the base stats of creatures is bad because the power change gets worse the higher the power of the creature's original power.
I implore you to consider Rakdos girls.
>>97856154There's not going to be anything left of you by the time it's over
>>97856078Golgari cat bros isn't this like fucking good?
>>97856158It's a known hazard.
>>97856009This card is the best version of this effect ive seen. We need to start feeding prisoners to big cats again.
Friendly reminder Hexhaven>Gayhaven
>>97856172Is the cult of rakdos the reason there's no homelessness on ravnica? Do they just sacrifice every hobo to their demon lord?
>>97856154My wife is from Rakdos.
>>97856215Best girl keeping rent affordable
>>97856093>>97856109Do you genuinely not understand how these are different?My objection is that blue should not have combat tricks that allow you to generate power/toughness with no upper limit. Candleep Inspiration is not even fucking close to what I describe and I don't actually think Gigantoplasm should be mono-blue either but 'at least' it is restricted to the one clone so I can't swing in with three 1/1s and then pump the unblocked one to lethal.>it's inefficientFuck off that doesn't matter when it comes to what a color should and shouldn't do. Black's enchantment removal is also inefficient and that's a fucking travesty as well.>Blue gets X/X power and toughness anywayIt shouldn't and even if it did the problem is the ability to boost power/toughness as a combat trick with no upper limit.>>97856132Yes it is worse but it is still an offensive combat trick that serves as a mana sink. It should have green in its color identity. I'm not even super happy with the 'target creature gains base p/t 4/4 until end of turn' at instant speed but I consider that a bend rather than a break.
More G/U elves for Lotr.
Finally some Witherbloom spoilers.>>97856064>3-mana 2/1 flyer>Etb make a nu-pest>End of your turn reanimate with mv equal to life gain this turnMight be okay in limited, but unless we get more pest enablers, it won't do much outside the BW bat deck.>>97856078>>97856169Seems decent, similar to Broodheart Engine but you can sac creatures instead of itself and it doesn't let you surveil. Doesn't really synergize with the rest of the set though, which is odd. Most of the creatures you want to reanimate are either proxy spells via prepared or prefer you cast them by paying a bunch of colors.
>>97856207"Homeless" people are just Golgari who ventured out of the undercity, probably to do some dumpster diving or whatever. Nobody pays them any mind.
>>97856009>no reading comprehension >kike retardation TKB, typical kike behavior
>>97856272>didn't invite squirrels or lizards to the questPretty problematic.
>>97856246That's literally just your opinion. I showed you there is plenty of precedent everywhere for blue to get X/X toughness effects, some from over a literal decade ago. If you're pumping a creature to lethal with blue then you're either spending a staggering amount of mana on it which makes it no different from colorless or you're spending the normal blue pump spell value (but worse). It's literally just fine.
>>97856207There are heaves of homeless people in Ravnica. Mainly guildless people.
>>97856058The plan of the current antagonist (probably Jace) threatens the future of Arcavios, causing the archaics, who exist in a sort of odd state of time that only works if the future is more-or-less set, because they're oracles that, upon dying, are sent back to the past to relive history, so they go berserk due to becoming paradoxes.
There's something about black Dominarian planeswalker ladies who are hundreds of years older than me.
Whats realistically stronger, thisOR
>>97856334Please fucking make another Dihada card, WOTC. If you put Dihada in this set or in Reality Fracture I will literally go and buy three boxes right this fucking second.
>>97856132If green gets Doom Blade, but costing 3 mana would it be ok, because it's a less efficient version of the black kill spell?
>>97856342YESFUCK YESman I wanted this reprinted
>>97856354THIS
>>97856359If Green got 10 mana destroy target permanent, which includes creatures, I would probably not complain much, no. Which is what this is.
>>97855818Its woman and faggot coded
>>97856334They're your only source for safe horny and even that is suspect
>>97856354>>97856365Bear:Solid rate with death touch. Spell sets up gy for practically the whole game with a very solid chance of hitting.Witch:Solid rate. Dtutor is strong as fuck. Seems solid for reanimation/ blink. 6 mana 5/4 with Dtutor is solid. My guess is that the reprep is flavor text.I like the designs. I think that both are very strong. I'm not sure if id add the bear to my unpowered cube, but I'd likely replace sidisi with the vamp dt
>>97856359No. Blue can fuck with P/T. Typically it just shrinks, but it's not completely disallowed from growing, or flexibly changing it.
>>97856154You posted the wrong one, anon.Although default Exava can absolutely still get it.
>>97856365This fucking sucks. 4BB for Demonic Tutor? The 5/4 for 3B is actually more of a conversation starter.
>>97856359I really wish that fight spell from a few sets ago worked as it was actually written (so it could effectively be a kill spell), but nothing interesting ever happens.
>>97856334DOMMIMOMMYARIA PLANESWALKING HAGMAXXING
>>97856408Blue also gets transformation effects that can be quite decent buffs too, it's nothing new.
I'm guessing the white Emeritus has Swords to Plowshares.
>>97856154I consider Rowan and she's Rakdos now.
>noooo what if an 1/1 gets past my defenses and its owner spends TWENTY MANA to kill meamazing
>>97855854Why do we have NOT-Eldrazi now?>>97855903That is good. Instant speed Cheat something?>>97856064Wasn't one of the best cards in og Strixhaven a 3 mana blue guy who makes a bird when ETB?>>97856207There are slums and areas where dirty poor people live. In the novel Jace was living in one.
>>97856469>nowArchaics were a thing in OG Strixhaven, albeit less common. They're distinctly not Eldrazi-related, far as we can tell.
>>97856469>Why do we have NOT-Eldrazi now?We had them last time we were on this exact plane. Colorless creatures aren't solely Eldrazi. Anything that transcends color (be it by being extremely simplistic and basic like the original colorless lessons or advanced enough to advance beyond such things like Ugin) can be colorless.
>>97856002wow literally copying the Harry Potter alive pictures from the first book...they are desperate!
>>97856492That's... That's just a picture.
>>97856492>Harry Potter invented having pictures of your parentslast time I checked Harry literally never had homesickness in his life
>>97856408>>97856359this was this OG
>>97856469>Wasn't one of the best cards in og Strixhaven a 3 mana blue guy who makes a bird when ETB?No. You must be confusing it with another set.
>>97856502the animated pictures you dumb ass and yeah he did hace pictures of his parents smiling at him you dumb fuck. I haven't even read a HP book in I think literally 25 years and I still remember that
>>97856515There's literally nothing indicating that the picture is animated. It's just a picture.
>>97856515the... the pictures of his dead parents? that didn't have him on them, because he wasn't born yet? the picture book of his dead parents with a fuckton of different pictures that in absolutely no way looks like anything in this card???
>Better Raise the PastHoly fucking shit, why didn't they print something like this back during Aetherdrift? This is the biggest bone they've given BW since Ketramose.
>>97856515nigga i got animated pictures on my bedside table for $10 off amazon
>>97856540>Literal enemies to lovers cards
>>97856540>4 of life/4 mana and you can literally reanimate your whole graveyardwtf?
>>97856557It's not 'or less'.
>>97856554Whoever wins gets to be on top
Oh, an actual good card.
>>97856557>>97856562Still, letting you reanimate realistically either 1, 2, or 3-mana creatures and artifacts from your graveyard is insane, especially when stuff like Grim Bauble exists.
>>97856583Oh it's very good for sure, but it's still got some stuff keeping it just being 'very good'.
>>97856554>Gay Bolas anon set the course for all of MtG's writing
>>97855822>OGExcuse me? You share a set with Hand of Justice. I'm the real OG.
I'm TIRED of Powercreep in U, R and B...
>>97856686Well congrats anon, you got White Is Really Fucking Good, the Set
>>97856772you don't fool anyone, kike.
>>97855949let me know when blue gets a card that lets you put even 1 land into play for 1 or 2 mana. and not "copy land (3u)". because they have 0 ramp other than high tide which is not real ramp but more like a ritual effect.
>>97856686riiiiiiiiiight. green is the most pushed and power crept color of all. pretty sure to work at GōtC you HAVE to have a majority green deck for any format
>>97856686Play Lorehold you piece of shit
>>97856868Cool art. Cool flavor. Fuck commander.
>>97856868Close enough
>>97856933its a great card, who said anything about commander? you dont play standard do you? because yikes that would be miserable in current timeson the other hand, commander is great in bracket 4
>>97856904why white seems to be the gay color? specially in this set?
>>97856857You just got Path to Exile but it hits planeswalkers don't kid yourself
>>97856997bruh the whole set is cooked and is outright gay/trans propaganda on every single card. they're so mad still that JK Rowling is based and they're not allowed to like Harry Potter that is until Hasbro tells them to make an HP set
>>97857031it also ramps at one plus sacrifice because it can fire at your own stuff
>>97857036it looks like a bunch of cool magic shit is happening and it looks like it'll play good and that's all that matters
>>97857050it screams try hard to me, stapling on ancestral recall and channel onto otherwise really bland cards, and pushing the power creep with a double harrow. people should have fun with it I guess but it looks grim to me
>>97857099A double harrow that's sorcery speed, and puts them in the battlefield TAPPED
>>97856408Kikes will use any excuse to break the pie and steal effects. JOTC allowing vigilance was the first domino of this kikery.
>>97857161Blue has literally always had base power and toughness change effects. It and green are THE colors for these. Stop lying.
>>97857142Easily the weakest of the lot - not that any of these are particularly good but wow, that's bad.
>>97857164No one believes your gaslighting kike lies, shekel-sucker. Blue has never had a straight up mana dump pump spell. Revisionist kikery won’t defend your lies.
>>97856686>Powercreep in 3/5 colors>White is one of them so it doesn't actually countJust say you're tired of powercreep
Imagine a set with only monocolor creature cycles releasing in 2027. Imagine how bizarre that would feel.
>>97857182It literally did you dumb fucking nigger. Hybrid G/U even to show how it's in the space of BOTH colors. Thirteen fucking years ago
>>97857216We need our signpost draft uncommons please understand.
>>97857231>this design tool that improves limited is bad because...??????
>>97857142This will slot right into my black devotion draw hate deck.
>blue can't indefinitely increase its own power and toughness-
How to make the best draft ever:>Common white 1-drop with vigilance that returns itself to play from GY>Uncommon white 2 mana 7/7 with defender, hexproof, and lifelink>Rare white 3 mana sorcery that says "Split second. Exile all permanents, graveyards, and cards in each player's hand.">Red mythic instant that deals 40 damage to any target for 1 mana
How to make the best draft ever: Make sure white sucks shit in it
>>97857274>Limited formats where green is slightly better then the other colors:
>>97857231They can just put the cost in the textbox.
Strixhaven is such a gay and lame plane that D&D faggots are looking at it and saying "wow I thought we had it bad."
>we could be in Bloomburrow instead of Hogwarts right now
>>97856540>Sorin is gay nowHAHAHAHA
>>97857344WotC made the curious decision of making a whole big book of Strixhaven for D&D. Nobody really understands why. There are plenty of planes that players would be interested in getting a sourcebook for. Arcavios was not a popular ask by any stretch. But this exists. It's all very confusing.
>>97857391I can actually tell what they are thinking. A lot of modern D&D players are into the whole "friends in college or a coffee shop" theme. It's a kind of person. They are into Harry Potter too. It's a whole thing-a cringe as fuck one. This does make me think about how cool a Bloomburrow D&D book would be though
Bloomburrow is great but it will get another set the year the old one rotates out, they wouldn't have two BB sets in Standard at the same time
>>97857391This is very relatable. I usually get a good chuckle out of my buddy lighting his hand on fire as well.
For a second I thought we already ran out of mythics, but then I remembered only small sets have 20 mythics and this set has more cards than ECL which had 28. I guess there's still hope we get something actually interesting beyond the green lesson and the white Emeritus.
>>97856334Wait, Liliana is from Dominaria? I thought she was Theros or something.
>>97857417Nevermind, Scryfall was counting the convoke cycle so it was actually 23. Either way, there's still hope.
>>97857274>having been blown out on the "blue can't pump" argument he flees to his usual "kikes hate white" persecution fantasylol
mana is 1bg
>>97857442>STILL can't address the card from over a decade ago >>97857225 that does unlimited pump but better
>>97857551>put it into your handlame>OR graveyardooooohconsider me interested
what’s a cool and interesting planeswalker design that isn’t grist
>>97856524>>97856525two complete retard trannysthe magic card has magical looking surface that looks like a hologram or otherwise implyies the image can move or has some magical quality to it you fuckin idiot(s)yes Harry had a photo album and had pictures of his parentsthe amount of cope is reaching unseen levels. you will never be a woman!
>>97857423I thought she was from Titty City gyatt!!
>>97857618>everyone who has ever had any kind of photo of their parents is making a Harry Potter reference>nevermind that absolutely nothing else about the card lines up it's gotta be that reference
>>97857618>the magic card has magical looking surface that looks like a hologram or otherwise implyies the image can move or has some magical quality to it you fuckin idiot(s)It looks like some kind of magic photograph, yes, but nothing implies that it moves.The kid misses his parents because he's away from home, and he has a photo of his family to show that. That's it. That's the concept of the card. Meanwhile Harry's album literally doesn't include him, because he wasn't born. It's not an album of his family, that's the fucking point of it, it's an album of his parents living their lives with their friends. He's not homesick because his family sucks ass and he'd rather stay in Hogwarts.
>>97857625the card homesick has some student standing next to a magical photo frame/hologram picture frame that implies it likely is a moving image (like JK Rowling first invented the idea of moving photo albums at a magic boarding school)absolutely shit for brains (you) are. (ywnbaw)
>>97857639>the card homesick has some student standing next to a magical photo frame/hologram picture frame that implies it likely is a moving imageNo the fuck it doesn't. The pose the parents are doing is completely still. There is no movement implied. It looks like some kind of tablet with a photo in it, a magic thingamajig that works as a picture holder.
>>97857611the other grist
>>97857646yeah the wavy blue shit looks like a hologram like something that has moving pictures in it
>>97857551Call still sees play as a 1 or 2 of in certain decks, this will likely be the same.
Random spoilers from Omens of Chaos. Not included for notoriety, just things that come to mind. I'm also dead tired and I'm not gonna put them in order.>Liliana and Kasmina are desparked>protagonist is Eula Blue, a Capennan human girl pledged to join the Brokers but wants to join Obscura>she's allowed to attend Strixhaven on the condition that she send valuable intelligence back home>there's also Alandra, a merfolk princess, daughter of the dragon-taming wizard king of Shandalar's oceans>just like Eula she also transcribes Strixhaven's texts and sends them home>there's also Kequia, granddaughter of Teferi>she uses psychometry to keep tabs on her teachers so she can change her grades when they're not around>there's also Jamira, a minotaur, daughter of desparked Angrath>she hates planeswalkers and helps Kasmina traumatize her friends>there's also Segante, a Fioran nobleman>he doesn't copy texts, cheat, or betray his friends, but rather steals books and sends them back home>they were all invited because Kasmina has a long list of potential planeswalkers and they were on it>her plan is to use them as fuel to reignite her own spark because it almost worked for Bolas>also she wants to separate the two planes that merged to form Arcavios because the fusion stifles their potential or something>and she seems to theorize that aether is so abundant on Kaladesh/Avishkar because of the Mending somehow>Kasmina's home plane seems to be Antausia>Shandalar is so rich in ambient mana that Alandra struggles to acclimatize on less abundant Arcavios, the experience is like drowning and parching at the same time>the Tolarian academies seem to have been gigarekt by Phyrexia>Eula loses her virginity to Segante in their dorm>Kequia and Jamira seem to hook up at the end>Kasmina dies a Disney death getting swallowed by Strixhaven's snarl, but the characters don't know if her spark might have reignited and let her escape
>>97857783>black character>slacks off and uses magic to change her gradeswhat did wizzards of the cost mean by dis?
>>97856313>plenty of precedentYou dumb lying nigger.You showed exactly one example of an infinitely scalable blue effect that is also NOT a combat trick. I'm not sure what dumbfuck retard land you come from, but where I come from 'one' is not a lot.>If you're pumping a creature to lethal with blue then...You shouldn't be allowed to do that at all. If red had a 6R "Destroy target enchantment" I'd be bitching that it breaks the color pie as well. I don't understand how YOU don't understand that rate is not the issue it is the effect existing at all.>>97856460There is a significant amount of precedent for setting P/T I agree. On ocassion it gets them as combat tricks that likely make your small creature bigger as well. X spells that power up a creature however, are firmly green these days and the ones that just power up power are historically black and probably red in modern magic.>>97856408Auras boosting P/T is something that every color has access to and I cannot believe that you, in good faith, consider this to be equivalent to a combat trick that is also a mana sink that is also flexible P/T setting.>>97857225>>97857570Yes. UG is allowed to do unlimited pump which I said in my initial post you illiterate retard. It is telling to me that your only ability to "BTFO" me involves either completely missing the point and posting shit like Majestic Metamorphosis or Candlekeep Inspiration or just straight up posting a green card.>B-B-BUT HYBRID MEANS MONO-BLUEIn that case it also means mono green you dumb nigger. If your best way of showing me that 'blue gets this effect in pie' is to show me a monogreen card then that's not very convincing. Surely you can find me a card that is JUST mono blue that is an instant speed mana sink that turns any creature into an infinitely scaling beater since there is, and I'm quoting you here, "plenty of precedent everywhere".Are you going to point to the alchemy card next you disingenuous faggot?
>>97857817I'll do the work for youhttps://scryfall.com/search?q=c%3AU+o%3A%22base+power+and+toughness+X%2FX%22&unique=cards&as=grid&order=nameThere's every card in blue that sets base power to X/X. We can go through them one at a time:>Better OfferNot a real card.>Biomass MutationUG card>Candlekeep InspirationNot infinitely scalable>Fluros of Myra's MarvelsNot a real card. Also not infinitely scalable.>GigantoplasmOnly card that comes close to fitting the criteria. Can only affect itself therefore not making it a combat trick.>KataraUW. This effect (or a localized one that only affects a single creature) is what I am talking about though.>Leonardo da VinciNot infinitely scalable.Please by all fucking means show me your 'plenty of precedent'.
>>97857810It's more trivial. Everyone agrees she's the most book smart of the group. She basically turns her grades from A- to A. And it's not even to get a leg up, it's just to live up to the legacy of Teferi. Even though Teferi didn't exactly excel as an academic himself.

Oh yeah not a spoiler but an amusing tidbit. Angrath is trying to resettle people whose planes were rendered uninhabitable by the Phyrexians. We're told he's heard of some place called Innistrad and he figured they might find safe haven there.
>>97857551given zombify is the new standard for reanimation spells these days, this is quite good, you can even tutor for artifact/enchantment hate to deal with graveyard tech
>>97855836Weird art, the awning above leads the eye to the pussy area between the legs which is aligned with the triangle of it
>>97855902Mythical archives aren't standard legal
>>97855994Every in universe set from outlaws to now is peak but ya'll don't want to have that conversation
>>97857902shared roots is a card that is standard legal right now, you can use any version of it you want, it's the same card
>>97857902All uncommon Mythical archives cards are standard legal.Except for monstrous rage.
>>97857963The Japanese art is always so much better than the westoid art it's actually depressing
Too true
>>97857783Wow the seven year "payoff" for Kasmina was she died in a side-story and accomplished nothing. Also, we can't have Angrath (one of the most liked "modern" walkers), get his bitchy daughter instead.
>>97857967I prefer the left artwork. It's in full color.
>>97857817Hybrid cards are things both colors can do. A G/U card could be both G and U and would still be in pie. That's the point of it, you dumb nigger. Blue gets base power pump. Deal with it.
>>97857817>You shouldn't be allowed to do that at all. If red had a 6R "Destroy target enchantment" I'd be bitching that it breaks the color pie as wellThere we go, Scour From Existance.
>>97857817>blue gets to modify creature base power and toughness>it can do this all the way up to 8/8s >it getting X/X that you need to pay a bazillion mana for is too much>despite all the other pumps it got already just fuck off
>>97857974The players might not notice, but their brains did.
>>97856574>Not a SkeletonF.
>>97857967Weird to respond to an image where the gook art is infinitely worse than the White person art with a comment like that.
>>97856540>Taking an established heteros and making them gay.The deities beyond the 4th wall hath decreed it.
>>97856574No haste mans any deck that doesn't already include Timeline Culler will have no use for this.
>>97858011>Oyvey goyim, blue gets whatever I say because it was promised over 3000 years ago according to my JOTC Talmud >Nooo, you can’t show contradicting evidence nooooooo!! Blue should have everything!! Save me Nosewater!!!!Kill yourself you worthless lying sheeny shekel sucking shylock KIKE
>>97858062continue sperging out all you want schizo. you're still fucking wrong.
>>97858062>>Nooo, you can’t show contradicting evidence nooooooo!!What whiteschizo says when he gets repeatedly shown blue pump and white decks with tournament results
>>97856562>4 life and 1 mana to reanimate your entire graveyard.Yeah this is going to go over well.
>>97856540>pay 1 life>bust in the opponent's facewhat were they thinking?
>>97857974That's funny because coming back to MtG the first thing I said was "What the fuck are all these abilities and how many cards have them?"
>>97856342Why would the students want to learn a phyrexian spell?
>>97858066You don’t understand the history of the color pie at all you lying kike. Stay wrong.>>97858072Blue doesn’t get pump spells you lying kike. It only gets small modifiers like 4/3 or such. This is literally a zero ceiling X pump spell that should’ve been green. You fucking zoomer kikes have been so groomed by JOTC and Kikewater that you literally don’t know any better. It’s no wonder you believe their kike lies about blue vigilance and now this shit. When they eventually give blue even more pie breaks you’ll also argue they were always true and suck their circumsized micro dicks even harder.
>>97858122It doesn't get pump spells yeah, if you ignore the 5/5 one. Or the 4/4 flying ones. Or the "creatures become X/X where X is the number of instant or sorcery cards in your grave" one (which is limitless increase btw). Or the creature that can freely change its own stats by paying X. Or the creature that can pay 4 mana to put 2 +1/+1 counters on itself indefinitely. Or the hybrid (which means it could be either color) mass pump effect.Yeah. Totally. It's totally outside of blue's territory if you ignore all the cards it's gotten that cross over that territory for over a decade.
Anyone here interested in planar standard? I asked in the mtga thread but I figured I'd ask here as well
>>97858147Give us some meta decks and we can talk.
>>97858147I already play it fine in Standard so there's no reason for me to move.
>>97857391It's kind of been forgotten now but this setting was VERY popular with DnD players when this book first came out. Seemed like 70% of the online games I saw were Strixhaven games at the time.
>>97858134Found one more for him to ignore and cope about.
>>97856540I, for one, can't wait for the inevitable>"We never tested this card in a deck full of 1cmc threats, and thought people would only use it in decks with a regular mana curve!"
>>97856365>This creature enters prepared.
>>97858182That's basically already in Standard.
>~ enters prepared.>~ enters prepared.>~ enters prepared.>~ enters prepared.Why would you design a mechanic only to negate its entire function on 80% of the fucking cards you include it on?
>>97858214The function is to have it work with magecraft and opus, which it does.
>planar standard>Premodern>Pre-Fire modernThese joke formats will be dead within a year, won't they?
>>97858228>Planar Horizons>Premodern Horizons>Pre-Fire HorizonsAll confirmed for 2027
>>97858224>The function is to have it work with magecraft and opusGod I fucking hate retarded shills so fucking god damned much.No it isn't. The function is as a boolean that allows an effect to be used, you fucking absolute dumbass shill moron idiot.Moreover, "we want activated abilities to trigger Prowess" is A SHIT IDEA AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN SCRAPPED. Fundamentally breaking one of the core balancing levers of your game is A BAD FUCKING IDEA.The mechanics value of Prepared is in selecting unique methods of Preparing creatures to create tactical intrigue on the battlefield. If they wanted to reprint Exhaust, they should have just fucking reprinted Exhaust for the love of fuck.
>>97857889>given zombify is the new standard for reanimation spells these daysit was the standard in the premodern erait then went to 5cmc in the prefire modern eranow we're back to zombify, the old becomes new again indeed
>>97858228>These joke formats will be dead within a year, won't they?this but edh, two more weeks!
>>97858249Zombify is currently the strongest they're willing to go. Everything else has restrictions or cost 5 mana and has upsides.

Bought my first collector booster box (SOS), will I have a good chance of breaking even or better?
Can anyone explain to me what the fuck planar standard is
>>97858365No time, Number One you have the bridge.
>>97858365Standard, excluding UB sets.
>>97858249>it was the standard in the premodern erano that would be reanimate
>>97858360By definition, no. Card prices adjust to meet supply and the supply is set by businesses with the ability to open far more product than you and average out the variance. The result is that you're already 50% chance to do below average, the market is rising to meet you, and even if you do spike a card liquidating it is going to be difficult.
>>97858376Also faster rotation iirc

Back then:>You also play Magic? Let's play a game!>Awesome!Now:>You also play Magic? Let's play a game!>I only play mid-level prefire duel commander with the old restricted list. The cheapest deck in this format is $2000. If you play any cards that I deem problematic, I will scream rape.

>>97858413>Copy target spell>This spell can't be copied
morbid payoff even though witherbloom's thing is lifegain
>>97858421They don't want a new version of splinter twin where you cast dualcaster mage, copy it with Choreographed Sparks, the copied Mage ETBs and copies Sparks, and so on for infinite 2/2s on your opponent's end step.
>>97858421That's why it's combo bait and not actually a good combo, if you had two of them they could copy each other while making infinite tokens.
>>97858422>Pest creature token with "Whenever this token attacks..."AHHHHHHHHHHHHHFFUUUUUUUUUCK OFFFFFF WIZARDS THAT IS NOT WHAT A FUCKING PEST DOES STOP FUCKING BLOATING YOUR GODDAMN TOKEN POOL FOR NO FUCKING REASON
>>97858445Sorry Goyim, you are going to have to buy more Collector Booster Boxes for more Pest Tokens that gain life whenever they attack

Why does the art of Strixhaven look like dogshit?
>>97858529>please play 2015 i'm afraid of fatal push
I'm going to die of laughter if the only successful set this year was Lorwyn. Fingers crossed it does happen so Hasbro starts firing people.
>>97858543There is no fucking way Star Trek doesn't sell like a ton, anon. Trekkies are that retarded.
>>97858535The students are mostly ugly. The school outfit designs have weak cohesion outside of color scheme. All the good art is hidden in collector boosters to steal more money from people who don't want ugly art.
>>97858543We are saving Magic this year, Captain.
>>97858543avatar was already a success so you're going to have to keep living unfortunately

>>97858628No denying that 2019 Modern is better than what we have now, but it was still bad. It's not like Magic suddenly got shitty with WAR. BFZ makes more sense as a cutoff—worst block of all time, Maro's jump the shark moment.
>>97858643>It's not like Magic suddenly got shitty with WAR>the set with parter of veils, great creator, and time raveler>followed soon after by oko eldrainethere's a reason it's called preFIRE, because FIRE started in war of the spark

Let me be a Macaco.Is better than being a disgusting Pig and play with cards like pic related.
>>97858535>>97858552I feel like fantasy art typically features larger-than-life characters, but somehow there has recently developed art direction, likely from the executive level, for smalller-than-life characters. I see character designs and suddenly imagine an artist being told, over and over, "reel it in, we don't want anyone to look over the top." I have no idea that something like this is really happening, but I have no other way to describe the final product than "smaller-than-life"
>>97858648>>97858652If you would simply consult the chart, I have a pretty good idea of when anyone who knew anything about how to design MTG retired from WotC.
>>978586832003 yeah
>>978586831993 yeah
>>97858683I mis this little guy like you wouldn't believe

>>97858683>Emrakul was printed because of Fatal Push
>>97858718there's people here that started chewing solid food in the 2020s
>>97858683Is this what your Jewish overlords tell you every time better removal is stated to be "a tall ask" while printing another creature that trades up against every piece of removal as far back as Modern?
>>97858683had to be done
>>97858761>Bans at all used to be an anomoly.>Now no bans is an anomaly.RIP. Magic really did die in 2017.
>>97855783>Magmablood>Not ElementalI'm venting.>TQSorry, couldn't decide.
>>978587752017-2018 had 9 bans, exactly the same number as 2004-2005it would be one thing if it was just another affinity scenario, but ofc wotc outdid themselves with 15 bans with FIRE design in 2019-2020
>>97858775playpremodern
>>97858775>>Now no bans is an anomalyMakes you wonder what happened in 2021 and 2024
>>97857992>we can't have Angrath get his bitchy daughter instead.I don't think minotaur incest was ever in the cards.
>>97858788Uohh avatar boobies ... require card draw correction!
>>97858412I hope you married her.
>>97858974I tried kissing her afterward but she remained a frog on my table
>>97858803>Makes you wonder what happened in 2021 and 2024We know what happened. They just stubbornly refused to ban cards that were ruining the format the whole time, like they're doing now with Badgermole and Talent.
>>97858803The fact that Sheoldred didn't get banned, but instead just sat around until it got powercrept out of the meta should tell you what you need to know about their ban policy at the time
>>97858546>Trekkies are that retarded.Starfleet Academy was canceled
>>97858228Pre modern looks fun and is pretty popular but the others 2 are meme. The problem with standard is that it's not standard anymore it's extended which is the most retarded move wotc pulled off, removing UB doesn't fix shit. What do I need to sacrifice to get a 5 to 8 sets format in arena again ?
>>97859220Yeah but that's nu-Trek. Nobody cares about this.
>>97858553I live star trek but it's a bad fit for mtg, having Picard or O'Brien on your board trying to kill your opponent just feel wrong, it's not what those show are about. Wotc should just get the licencing for 40k again, or Dune, or even star wars or one of the hundreds of universe about space wars.
>>97859220>Starfleet AcademyTrekkies hate that shit. It's basically non-canon already. Hopefully they focus on the old shows that were worth a damn. Unfortunately here's what it says:>Engage with the unforgettable crews, adversaries, and starships from across 60 years of Star Trek history. >Across 60 years of Star Trek history>Across 60 yearsSo they're going to at least partially include all the utter FUCKING SHIT. At least with Avatar it was only TLA so it wasn't completely FUCKED by the WOKE FUCKING TROONS AND XHE/XHEMS
Korra is based and I'm tried of pretending otherwise.
>>97859291>Trekkies hate that shiti actually enjoy Starfleet Academy and although i see it diverges from previous Star trek series, it stills present itself as amazing sci fi show with great characters and story telling just from a different prespective.the news of its cancelling was certainly daunting
>>97859317there are dozen of us
>>97859317>i actually enjoy Starfleet Academy
I can't quite describe it. Looking over the visual spoiler of this set feels like a nightmare. All the art is hyper-saturated and cluttered. Half of the characters are stuck in the smug arms-up Disney climax pose. The other half have one hand stuck out casting some spell. Barely any exceptions to those two categories.All the effects just blur into a foggy mess of valueslop. There's no sense of stakes or human emotion. Everything depicted feels like aliens wearing skinsuits, trying to fit into a 90s American high school. Except, the aliens don't know the high school they're trying to fit into is really a movie set.This shit is just weird, man. I don't know how to describe it. Looking over the SOS card pool truly feels like staring into the abyss. Some kind of deep, dark abyss of the soul, where human creativity goes to die.
>>97859334Now go look at some old visual spoilers for comparison lmaohttps://mtg-print.com/set/fifth-edition
>>97859339The difference could not be clearer.
>>97859291They want to sell the set so they'll only use the popular star trek series, nobody watch nu trek and wotc know it. They'll get some cameo at best. My theory is that TNG and DS9 by themselves will be over 50% of the cards, with Quark and Garrack getting several cards each.
>>978593397th will always reign supreme as far as art goes.https://mtg-print.com/set/seventh-edition
Seriously. Look at this fucking garbage.It's as if they gave the exact same art direction to every single artist, with the only differences being "Refer to faction (A/B/C/D/E)'s section of the reference." to differentiate them.This shit is fucking trash.
>>97859246It fits into magic perfectly. Do you not remember that episode where Picard beat a wizard to death with a hammer?
>>97859359>Seriously. Look at this fucking garbage.>It's as if they gave the exact same art direction to every single artist, with the only differences being "Refer to faction (A/B/C/D/E)'s section of the reference." to differentiate them.>This shit is fucking trash.

>>97859402Does your boyfriend? Because you're a homosexual. That's my implication.
>>97858718You think that's bad, some faggot in this very thread said wotc is "on a roll" right now, and eoe was top 10 all time sets.
>>97859518I tried to escape a retard praising eoe in the edh general and a similarly retarded guy is here as well... Man, no 4chan for me then
>>97859230They bank on people skipping certain sets, so a longer standard period is required.

>>97859745this is incorrect
>>978597523/10 bait, made me reply
>>97859680Just like edh!
>>97857618harry did not have a photo album of pictures with his parents. you are thinking of the mirror of erised, which showed him the thing he wanted most, which was to have his parents and for them to be a normal contented family. He wasn't homesick because he never had a home in his life that he'd want to go back to instead of staying at hogwarts.
>>97859357>7ED art direction was deemed shitty in its time (justified)>now 7ED is being looked at fondly (kek)Makes you wonder what people will think of UB down the line huh lol

https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/secrets-of-strixhaven-winnowing-season Yeah, Silverquill side-story.>Pre-amble of a poem by Embrose about winnowing, which probably means nothing>Killian has just sat through some sort of diplomatic tea ceremony, which went wrong, and now he has to do a duel>He internally notes this is stupid, but it's ritual and it seems to have kept Arcavios at peace for hundreds of years, so he can't be too upset>Killian specifically volunteered to replace the expected duelist, and he's up against the representative of the Pinzari Isles, a leonin>There were no leonin in the delegation from the isles, but he's also a replacement so who cares>The duel begins, and Killian is winning for a while, but thne notes his opponent seems kind of desperate to get a win in at some point, and gets a bit distracted over-thinking and loses to a sudden onslaught>Next thing Killian knows, his opponent is helping him up and seems awkward about how easy that was>He helps Killian to a bench, where a healer orc lady, named Verdis, gets to work, she's familiar to the leonin, whose name is Crownflower or just Crown as he prefers>Verdis chides Killian and Crown both, Crown for going too hard and Killian for being too complimentary>Killian recognises Crown now, he's a first year who just declared for Silverquill>Crown asks why Killian let him win, and Killian basically says the duels don't actually mean anything, they're just for catharsis, and Killian's been there for three months and nobody's left a duel 'satisfied', best he can tell, because they lose and are upset, or win and get nothing>He slides into a bit of a ramble about it seems like Arcavios is getting worse, people are holding on to grudges, nobody's letting things go anymore
>>97860175Anon 7th edition was released 25 years ago, some people on this site weren't even born.
>>97860255Exactly so why are newfags giving their hot takes on shit they dont know anything about? Just for the sake of having something to say? Fucking zoomers
>>97860251>There's a distant clamour that interrupts that, and Killian goes to check it out, while having a brief flashback to the Phyrexian invasion because he very nearly died during that, and nearly lost his friends and his father besides>He gets to the clamour, and there's somebody who's just come through one of the Forum's portals>The clamour is because two delegations from places at odds with each other, Silkmeadow and Kathorr, who met before the mediator arrived, who just arrived>And hey, guess who the mediator is, it's dear old disappointed dad Embrose>He and Killian share a look before Embrose goes to work, and Killian notes that his dad looked nervous, strangely enough>Days pass, and Killian learns more about the nature of that whole conflict, and Crown and Verdis are from Silkmeadow and Kathorr respectively, of course, so he learns from them about their homes>Specifically they're fighting over a pure refuge of an oasis that remained untainted despite Phyrexia's invasion fucking up the surrounding lands>Crown says Silkmeadow has a silkworm strain in the oasis that they have a claim to, Verdis says Kathorr has a claim to the hill the oasis is under because it's where they ended up when their founding group was starving and nearly dead, apparently>He asks how Crown and Verdis know each other, because given their homes are so at odds, they shouldn't have even MET, let alone become semi-friendly>Verdis explains, awkwardly, that they were tutored together as kids, she fostered with his family for a bit, and he was SUPPOSED to come live with her clan for a bit, but then the invasion happened>Later, Killian is having dinner with Embrose, who deflects and just goes "heard you lost a duel", which Killian admits to and Embrose just tries to be a bit nicer and tells him to not let it distract from his studies>Killian brings up his worries that there might be a failure of diplomacy, for the first time in 700 years, but Embrose brushes that off
>>97860314>Killian then brings up that he's read his father's latest poem, and it gets a bit awkward before Killian decides to just discuss his thesis>Later, he's at the hall where some ritual between the delegations called the Naming Tithe is about to go down, a ritual that's not been done for decades, mostly because it's really really boring>The ritual begins with Embrose asking the youngest of the delegations, which are Crown and Verdis, of course, what they're known as, they give their names and connections to all sorts of things>Then he asks what they know the other as, and they give... Sort of peaceful sounding remarks, drink some water>And that seems to go alright, but there's more, because every member of the delegation has to do this, and as it gets to the older ones, the namings get harsher and more pointed>Finally, the two heads of the delegations arrive to the ritual, but Embrose goes "Alright, fuck this" and calls the delegations out for being squabblingi infant bitches>He basically says "fuck you both, you gotta just live with each other, or neither of you are getting that damn oasis">The ritual carries on after, and it seems a bit forced from then on, and everybody seems tense as hell>After the ritual, he tries to talk to Embrose but can't really get much of a word in, and Embrose says it's on the delegation leaders now to prove themselves>Killian leaves, and oh look there's Crown and Verdis, heading to the dueling stage, discussing having a binding duel of some sort>Killian emerges and asks the terms to make it more official, and they basically go "Look, all the rituals aren't working, and a duel for satisfaction won't give anything, so there needs to be something FROM this duel">Indeed, the terms of their duel are not to satisfaction, but for the rights of the oasis>And Killian gets a look in his face when he realises what's going to happen, because very likely they're gonna duel to the death here
>>97860368>He says he's not going to stop, just to bear witness, but asks to draw his own marks for the duel, which they agree to, and he modifies the terms just a bit>He blends the terms of Verdis and Crown together, and adds in things about communion, sharing, etc.>Crown and Verdis share a nervous look, then Killian declares the duel to start>Next day, there's another duel going on, and it seems Killian's gambit has paid off because the delegations are much less tense because they seem to be enjoying using duels as some sort of resolution in and of themselves>Embrose appears and goes "What the fuck did you do", moreso why it's going on without any real formal procedure or precedent and Killian shrugs and goes "Eh, I'll add it on to the Naming Tithe as an option, easier than making a new ritual">Embrose makes a sort of proud snort at that, and then awkwardly tries to tell his son how proud he is of him, but can't really do it because he's not very good at that>Killian takes his father's hand and goes "Well, why not resolve it the way these guys are" and they go off to have their own duel
>>97860397I'll be honest this story kinda lost me, I don't really understand what went on with all the duels and shit. Felt underwhelming.
Oh, you can't even repeat the white Emeritus' preparation...
>>97860416At least you are not forced to give the little guy to your opponent but still this seems kind of ass compared to solitude.
>>97860416I feel like it should have vigilance.
>>97860416Is the best Emeritus?
>>97858350I'll be honest, that meta seems boring as hell. Not that it looks bad per say, it looks pretty decent enough in terms of variety, but all the decks are just stuff I've played several times before and landfall stuff. I dunno, I like meta where sets unique mechanics get to shine and all this stuff is just decks we've seen hundreds of times in standard metas before.
>>97860416> Lion playing with its food by coming up with a new slur before removing it from existence.This is the powerful white card we have been waiting for.
>>97860416Why is this a Cleric? Nothing cleric-y about it. Shouldve been a wizard. Unless white wizard = cleric, which is a real blow to the identity of clerics.
>>97860610i'm tired of Monk, Cleric and Skeleton obssesed fags.
>>97860679>I'm tired of people discussing the game!Fuck off then faggot
>>97860679>monksHey fuck you buddy, I shut up after I got my 1 (one) legally obligated monk in this set. I'm hibernating until Marvel spoilers, lying in wait for Shang chi (ugh) or Iron Fist to hopefully bring me the one true monk lord.
>>97860416Oh, you can target yourself with the ability.
>>97860679>and Skeleton
>>97860416This seems like a card for a control decks but why would I want it over Beza.
>>97860822You would probably want it because it does something else entirely than Beza.
>>97860822It's more for midrange, against control is a 3/3 and a 1/1 with flying for 3 mana and against aggro it's a 3/3 with a 1/1 flying who come with a removal. I don't think you will give your opponent the 1/1 all that often.
>>97860679Meanwhile druid fags like myself have been feasting ever since they cancelled shamans
>>97860679I could try obsessing over djinns and efreets. Would that cheer you up?
>>97860999I'm all for orange Djinns
>>97861015>I'm all for orange DjinnsCUUUUUHHHCUHHCUHCUUUHHHHHHHHCARROTUSSYCARROHHHCARROTUSSY!!!
>>97861015Sportsball fags love this
>>97861015what the fuck is this art?
>>97861112College sports team during event of some sort. It's rather obvious.
>>97861138is garbage still...
>>97861015The art director mandating diversity quotas is so on the (((nose)))
awoo~
>>97860416>mythiclmao
>>97861245I don't want to hear anyone cry about proxies anymore.
more waifus
>>97861469This one sucks.
why jap alt arts are so much better than plain normal arts?
even gilfus
have they spoiled Life from the Loam yet? I want to bully arena babbies.
>>97861463> Ears below eyesShe's going to eat you after she harvests your seed.
I want all the fucking Pioneer cards on Arena first.
>>97861509yeah I don't give a fuck I want to loam bring back strip mine and create "fun" experiences for other retards.

I'm going to build a Premodern deck using only printings with the Modern card frame
>>97860416how on God's green Earth is that turbo garbage mythic?once gets prepared once AND with a bullshit condition.jfc gavin
>>97861582devilish
>>97861495They are 'better' because even the biggest anime hater has to admit they represent authentic feudal japan aesthetics, right down to the women being in traditional garb and roleWotc had their chance with capenna but naturally they have to insert their wahmens in there, they could never represent the 1920s as they truly were
>>97861588>jfc gavinFucking Verhey only ever was on Black color council.Bowen is in charge of White.
>>97861582>using only printings with the Modern card frameactually not allowed
>>97861626Premodern doesn't have the same rule as 93-94/Old-School, you can use any printing of a given card
>>97861632Old school can justify their pretension given that they play with RL memorabilia and actively do not allow proxies
>>97857783....how they can be this bad at story writing?
I DON'T READ WEEB
>>97861654Then old school should expect to be treated as a side show
>>97861751It took you THIS long to realize why they're going for UB?
>>97861751Segante has dark curly hair, a nipple piercing and his own dorm cottage with a garden he tends by himself. That's not important but it says Eula got herself a keeper.
>Her relationship with her father has always been a fraught one. His delight at her first fragile shields quickly faded when he discovered that a surprising magical gift was not enough, in isolation, to bring him fully into the Family fold; after that, she was just another mouth to feed, an expensive one given the costs of her schooling and the social expectations of a girl in her position. He presented her to Falco Spara when she was eleven, and she sometimes wonders if her bone-deep desire to join the Obscura isn’t partially fueled by her memory of that encounter, the way the powerful aven had looked at her, like she was a frightened animal for the consumption.>Mr. Spara has been expecting her since that meeting. Not enough to have provided her with tutors or encouraged her to complete her education, but enough that she’s always known she’ll belong to him, unless she finds her own way out.
>>97861751Their main inspiration are comic books and marvel movie.

>Gavin said Traumatic Critique is based on "a certain fan's" analysis of part of the story>They put Galazeth on the card because the part of the story was dragon-focusedGay Bolas anon got a fucking vanity card LMFAO.
>>97860416Someone predicted it being StP in a previous thread. But they didn't predict the card being dogshit
