Look at her, she's positively beaming with glee.
Say something nice about this card, I know you can, anons!
>>97872530>now all i need is an invisibility spell>that'll teach bill to shove my potions up his ass!
>>97872530I see the leech but where's the collector
>>97872530The Witherbloom college uniform reminds me of Monster Energy.
>>97872530It truly is a great card
>>97872530What they did with my favorite college?
>>97872736They started teaching social science
>>97872736Whatchu talkin bout
>>97872776
>>97872530I saw this card and laughed. I thought it was a joke. It must be a joke to put an obese black cunt on a card. It even looks like AI. But no...it is a real card in mtg in the year of our lord 2026. Just when I thought those FUCKERS couldn't stoop any lower...here we fucking are. Jesus fucking christ
>>97872530potentially first pick in a draft, there's lot of lifegain synergy in the set so you can feasibly proc prepare every turn
I wish the usage of generative AI models on any device would result in the battery exploding. Too many people are incapable of using this technology responsibly. It'd be better for them and the rest of society if their stuff simply explodes. Then they can be relocated to like a reeducation camp or an Amish commune or something.
I want more Wacky Races.
>>97872833What do you mean?
me at FNM, and the mono green player plays his 7th forest by turn 3 (just used Harrow). The cards in hand are what are on my board + and islandthis was a bracket 3 game btw
>>97872857What I find hilarious about leech collector is it's actually a bit racist. A fat useless black collecting her leech children. Offended by everything, Ashamed of nothing, Entitled to everything, Contributing nothing.
>>97872849It's not a bad premise, it was just executed badly.
it hurts my soul how true this is, control doesn't fucking exist in modern anymore I play UW in pioneer to scratch the itch but it just isn't the same thing
>>97872911I play Azorious in Pioneer and Jeskai Control in Standard and I dont feel they are bad positioned in the overall metas of such formats, anon.
>>97872911I can imagine playing modern or pre modern. why would someone subject themselves to those card poolswhere is the set that is just OG mirrodin to OG innistrad. thats the format I want to play
>>97872911WotC literally doesn't want control viable anymore. Threats get better while removal stays worse. Why?Arena and Commander players complain when their shit gets removed.
>>97872881Isn't this par for the course? Those who are desperately bending over backwards to be inclusive and virtue signal always end up circling right back around again to producing racist caricatures instead.
>>97872938that sounds like a really fun game. people who don't play interaction, in any color are big dummies and n00bs"I just want to play all my fun stuff and play" ok then play bracket 1 or 2. pokemon is a better card game overall for more fun casual kitchen table buddies while drinking and hanging out but magic is a much deeper and potentially more fun game. pokemon was literally made for kids like me who were 8 years old when the base set was released by GōtC (groomers of the coast, not wizards anymore)furthermore GōtC is dead set on nerfing all colors other than green, ESPECIALLY blue. the next bracket update will ban all blue counter spells.
>>97872320>TQmystical archive has really nice art, there are some cards in the main set that interest me for kitchen table shenanigans. at least its actually a MTG set.
>>97872975>furthermore GōtC is dead set on nerfing all colors other than greenMakes sense, since green is dogshit as anything but ramp for the other colors and has been for like a decade at this point
>>97872878>elder dilation highlanderBack to your containment thread, faggot.
>>97872999commander is a better format than all of magic other Swiss draft (of GOOD sets which there has not been since final fantasy) and vintagestandard= garbagemodern= garbagepremodern= ULTRA garbagepauper and legacy are ok but not great. best format would be OG mirrodin to OG innistrad but until then commander is THE magic format
>>97873026>Final Faggotry fan>Twilightstrad fanGayest post ITT?
>>97873030No, that would be yours. You are gay.
I want to play the new strixhaven box but I already know standard is dominated by crossover cards.
>>97873030original innistrad had Delver of Secrets. it had some grim spooky stuff, it was great October 2011
>>97873045What crossover cards?
>>97873026Please refer to the OP.>>What is EDH?>https://vocaroo.com/1ihc21gJLBh1
>>97873033>n-no u!Concession accepted, Final Faggot.>>97873048>original innistrad had Delver of SecretsYes, it did have the format-ruining Better Goyf, one of the reasons it was such an AIDS block.
>>97873026Commander is trash because instead of efficient strategies based on 60 card 1v1 it devolves into who can appease your transexual friend while drawing your one off card in a hundred card deck. Commander is so casual it's always embarrassing when people think their 100 turn game with 40 life is impressive to anybody with a brain. If you actually tried to get to mythic in a 60 card format your 2 braincells might touch and realize a game where you are waiting for your 1 off draw after 5 hours is garbage. Like all commander games.
Memba when people used to attend multiple prereleases in one night just to get multiple copies of the prerelease promo? Happened during my Dark Ascension prerelease and the store owner was so impressed with my loyalty for only playing his store that I got another one for free. I ended up winning the tournament for a full box using multiple Black Cat and burn spells. Last round opponent forgot to flashback his double mill spell. Good times.
Now that I think about it, the last set I fully processed was FIN, played a ton of limited and messed around with a lot of rares in shitbrews. I didn't play any spiderman or edge of eternities limited so I don't know the cards, I played a little bit of avatar but got bored, lorwyn came and went while I was busy at the start of the year, I did not care for teenage mutant ninja turtles at all and now strixhaven 2 is almost out.I used to keep up with every single set release a decade ago, I cannot even begin to imagine how someone would do that today.
>>97873026Go back to your containment thread, EDHtroon
>>97873030>>97873067reminder that twixalan vampires sparkle in sunlight
>>97872794the most fragile post of all time

>Gays>(black) Cripples>Fat black womenJust what is it about this set?
>>97873350>>97873355And then comes the meltdown
>>97873380
>>97873390actually i'm being paid to be retarded by blackrock
>>97872891I don't even think it was executed badly in the story and worldbuilding, it set it up cleanly as a "this is a soft power push by Avishkar, not just a random race for no reason" and even showed that Muraganda was only HALF consenting to the race, with most of the inhabitants being surprised and terrified by it. The cards themselves though just showed Mario Kart.
>>97873355nah zendikar and innistrad vampires are finetwixalan sparklepires are the shitty ones
why is red the only color that doesn't get enchantment removal?
>>97873472Because otherwise we'd be playing commander.
>they didn't print a prepare card with Chains of Mephistopheles on itCowards
>>97873493Isn't that an enchantment?
>>97873503You cast the prepared cards as copy from exile anyway so even if they had made an enchantment prepare, it would just come into play as a token
>>97872776Now THAT'S what I call art!
the Exile shit with Prepared is genuinely fucking stupid beyond belief
>>97872530>all the repliesY'all need some fat knowledge & black knowledge
>>97873026>commander is a better format than all of magicRecognition that Commander is NOT Magic is appreciated.
Do mailmen steal letters with cards in them? I already have five card shipments that didn't arrive this year. All from different sellers and some even from different countries. Losing money is bad, but waiting for the last cards to finish a deck is worse.
>>97873536>do mailman stealIs WotC retarded? Holy shit yes, of course they do. There's someone feeling up your mail every step of the way.
Brawl is a valid form of Magic
>>97873604>shilling your retarded furslop OC againFuck off, tourist.
>>97873536report your carrier/incidents to the inspectors service and the postmaster include as much information as possible
it's a fucking activated abilitythey're sending the comprehensive rules to the shredder and allowing non-card objects to remain in exile... for....activated abilities...
>>97873636I finally gave up on standard last year. Making CaC is the only way I have fun with this game anymore.
>>97873670>Making CaC is the only way I have fun with this game anymore.Hell yeah, brother.Every MTG format is dead, but I can still enjoy custom set drafts with the boys.
honestly we should just turn /mtg/ into /ccg/The only thing left to talk about in the "real" game is how dumb and ugly the newest fat person looks in the latest card art. I'd rather talk about the game itself and how we enjoy it instead of all that stupid shit. Nobody plays even a single MTG format anymore.
>>97873659Would you prefer it be from the command zone?I could kind of see it instead be "'prepared' is a state that allows the prepared creature's controller to create a copy of the spell printed on it on the stack, treat this as casting that spell", but I know there's some autistic reason it has to be worded and treated the way it is.
>>97873708>Would you prefer it be from the command zone?No.
>>97873708>"'prepared' is a state that allows the prepared creature's controller to create a copy of the spell printed on it on the stackThere is literally no good reason to do it any way other than this.It makes no fucking sense for them to have done it the way they did it.
>>97873068my deck is SOOOOO good I have 4x of each card to hope I draw it! yes thats the rule 4x not 5, and I could do 3 but I want more "consistency" so I can replay the same game over and over againyou are a troon>>97873067oh noes the 33% chance of a t2 3/2 flyer TOTALLY WRECKS MUH META GAME dude seriously you are a homo. get a gripsame people who cry over gtiaxian probe- ie homosnot to mention delver, gitaxian, mental mister are all from the set right next to each other New Phyrexia and Innistrad. That was peak magic since 1994. >>97873177obsessed with troon groomers because...you are one? or just mad that commander is better than 4x sloppa "muh pox walker" shit. you belong on pReddit
>>97873696come on over to /edhg/ we talk about commander, and goofy memes and all sorts of stuff about magic including how groomers of the coast is ruining ALL formats (even subpar ones like standard and modern)>>97873712prepared is a dog shit mechanic but thankfully in commander, it will just be a drop in the bucket since we play a superior eternal format. you limp wristed standard and modern players are gonna have to deal with all this prepared bullshit on TOP of the mass of UB sloppa and other garbage sets like Groom-haven. I dont know how you'll even handle it. very grim.
>Prepare Commander>The second half is your second commander (part of your color identity) which must be cast (as a token) by the first commander after it's prepared Hire me JotC
>>97873734>Preparedener (You can have two Commanders if the second is this Commander's Prepared spell.)EXTREMELY BASED.
>>97873708It is so it triggers effects like Repartee & Opus.
>>97873604>>97873636>Calls him a touristHe has been here longer than you and your forced meme.
>>97873759Hence the "treat this as casting" bit, which I don't think is horribly more in line with existing mechanics, and in fact is more in yu-gi-oh territory.
>>97873760>heNo, furslop tourist, you and your shill campaign for your gay furry TF comic are not some beloved organic staple of /mtg/, sorry to say. You have to go back, and you have to kill yourself.
playpremodern
>>97872776ah, the good old days when female characters were allowed breasts!
>>97873801Y-you're brown and Brazilian! And I'm totally not brown. You hear?! Premodern is shit! It's the worst format of them all. And I'm not just saying that, because I suffer from cognitive dissonance and have to rationalize giving money away for shitty new cards. It's just not true. My ninja turtle cards are an investment and will be sought after commodities in a few years.
>>97873828I play with a couple brazilians at my weekly and they're quite nice and also not brown
>>97873773>Your shill campaignVery ironic given that all you do is post bait all day.
What premodern decks are you playing at the moment? I doing pretty well with this 5-color control deck.https://moxfield.com/decks/RJnRg-im70CHcz9qB8BU0w
>>97873960>art depicts an F15 bombing IranDamn magic had edge back then
I saw a pretty austistic google sheet that rated all spoiler cards sorted by color(s) for the, I think it was the Avatar prerelease or something around that time, with links to the cards in the google sheet.Is there something like that for SOS, or just another resource that makes the evaluation quicker than going through all cards on Scryfall?
>>97872530it's unplayable
>>97873960landstill but I wanna try moneyball black or white weenie at some point

Why were there so many bloody toys in DSK? If the theme is haunted house then there's any number of domiciliary staples that could be adapted into artifact creatures. Child's Play wasn't even that good.
>>97874215>Why were there so many bloody toys in DSK?Lack of creativity.
>>97873960Aggro Standstill and Survival Infestation. I'm considering GW Madness for next gameday in two weeks.>Wandering StreamI bought a foil copy of this card even though I don't have a use for it because the art is fantastic.

>>97872652Hehehehe
premodern
just a reminder that pre modern is NOT safe from jotc kikery. if they can't change the card pool they WILL change the rules until the format is eventually unrecognizable
>>97874345What are you talking about? How can they change the rules that it affects 30 year old cards?
>>97874357Errata Dreadnought
>>97874329>Pre modern>>97874357Premodern is fucking retarded. It doesn't use the rules from 30 years ago it uses modern rules.
>>97874357they already changed how copies can now exist in exile and knowing how slippery jotc slopes have proven to be it won't end there
Fuck I guess orcs are cute now
>>97874372>they already changed how copies can now exist in exilewat
I’m just glad people who have never read another book in their lives aren’t calling Strixhaven Harry Potter this time around. The concept of a magical school predates those books by about a million years, plus Strixhaven is clearly based on college and not a British boarding school.
>>97874629It even has super genius black Hermione and black Snape (Rowling's vision) and you're pretending it's not Harry Potter
>>97874345The whole point of it being a fan format is that Berlin can just reject whatever retarded changes Wizards tries to cook up to sabotage it. People play the format because of Berlin and recognize that he makes the rules, not WotC.>>97874371Middle School is there for you, as it uses old rules like mana burn and damage on the stack, but the playerbase is not as wide spread. It also has a higher power level with Grim Monolith and Necropotence legal.
>>97874507Yeah, sure. Whatever. Who fucking cares.
>>97874507Indeedhttps://x.com/baalbuddy/status/2025169819256160336#m
>>97874215Idk for some reason a sizable portion of Duskmourn is dedicated to circus horror and I guess toys are sorta on theme, shit's weird.
>>97874629this, 100% this.anyone playing this game should read the stories about Strixhaven. they are THAT good.props to wotc!
>>97874130Change name to "food stamp collector"
>>97874461>adult elephant head on a "teenager" bodyFuck this, this is the worst art in the set.
>>97874275what does the little tombstone at the top left mean? that it has something it only does when in your graveyard?
>>97874801>107.9. A tombstone icon appears to the left of the name of many Odyssey™ block cards with abilities that are relevant in a player’s graveyard. The purpose of the icon is to make those cards stand out when they’re in a graveyard. This icon has no effect on game play
>>97874814Neat

I just realized the Goremand demon is a busty lady demon. This is blowing my mind. It's been years yet nobody informed me of this.
>>97873026>>97873064You laugh but this happens in modern too. Last week I built a budget green and white enchantment deck for a modern event at my LGS. I don't have any shock lands so I used gates for duals.When I got there I asked the people at the table if they were playing modern and asked if I could join them. A store employee asked me if I had signed up yet and made me pay $10 and download some stupid app. I don't mind supporting the store but the app was really annoying.When I got to my first opponent I asked them what their deck's powerlevel was and they looked at me bewildered. He said that it was a 10 very bluntly and I asked him if he had any other decks that he could play. He smirked and just said no. He was playing some sort of jund goodstuff deck and spend the first couple of turns playing discard spells and eventually killed me with some creature that gets +1/+1 for each card type in all graveyards. I had never met a pubstomper until today and it really put a damper on my mood.The next round I tried to start a rule 0 conversation with my opponent and asked him what he was playing. This guy said that he didn't have to tell me and the two people at the table next to us turned to listen in to our conversation. I told him that the game would be more fun for both of us if we were playing on the same power level and the people next to us immediately started laughing. One of them told me that this wasn't the command zone hosted by Josh Lee Kwai and Jimmy Wong and that this was real life. The other guy told me that this was "big-kid-magic" and I decided to leave after that.It really sucks and I had no idea that the people who play modern at my LGS were so toxic. I was really looking forward to playing this new deck but I guess I need to find somewhere to play casual modern as it seemed that everyone there plays exclusively cModern (a word I guess for tryhard modern)
>>97874982Especially because it's very likely Chris Rallis just drew it with a model reference. He very clearly does that in other art.
>>97875265I miss magiccoincidence

Have you ever contemplated how weird it is that a Snow Creature type exists but not a Sea Creature type?
>>97875526mo because a sea creature presumes the existence of sea lands like sea forests, sea mountains, sea plains and sea swamps

>>978756514 good, 4 meh, 3 bad, out of 11 total
Play Standard.
>>97875493>Instead of inverting, it would be more interesting to use absolute power.That would be basically the same thing, just different wording. Unless you meant something specific by that?
>>97875691I don't like pizza that much.
>>97875691Yeah I will play Standard after they go back to normal rotation.I'm content playing Pioneer for now.
>>97875769>I'm content playing Pioneer for now.
>>97875465UWR control was one of the earliest top decks of the format. Celestial Colonnade was an expensive card because of UWx control in modern.Grixis Control/Cruel Control was also a viable tier 1.5/tier 2 deck (roughly the same as Living End or Boggles).
Commander
>>97875465Ambitions Augmentor certainly has potential.
>>97875651>>Aetherdrift>>Edge of EternitiesI really liked these. I'll quibble over execution but in general it was pretty cool to see new things being tried. Contrast to SOS which isn't nearly as rough around the edges but also doesn't really do anything new or interesting.
>>97875793jeskai was a dogshit deck with a mediocre gameplan backed up with mediocre interaction like bolt and path and (lmao) electrolyze. it's simply not true to call it a top deck just because people liked to play it and it did well in some small events, mostly on the back of "i play rest in peace and win" sideboard plans
>>97875777Right. I untap and draw for the turn. I will cast Eldritch Evolution targeting Thalia's Lancers. Resolves?
>>97874728I'll let it slide.
>Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell...>Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that targets a creature...Why the fuck are these two things in the same set?

>>97876084It takes like a sentence at best to add a caveat to 704.5e that it doesn't apply if some effect is maintaining the object's existence. Specific trumps general in rules, usually.
>>97876426Also, like...>704.5a If a player has 0 or less life, that player loses the game.I guess this fucking card breaks the mechanics now.
I still don't understand why people hate Murders so.
>>97876438who died?
>>97876438For me it's that it didn't feel like it was a specific enough approach to the genre. It wasn't just a murder mystery set, it was ALSO police procedurals, ALSO thrillers, etc.
>>97876440Trostani.
>>97876438For me it's the hats
>>97876438they brute force'd a murder mystery set into ravnica, the end result is something that doesn't feel like ravnica nor does it particularly fufill the murder mystery intentthey could've taken the chance to unfuck the mess they made with new capenna not having an actual police force but nope
>>97875465alll these card are SHITEexcept for erode, emeritus and niggarus fel2 mediocre control card and 1 good card for standard or planar stardard if you want to play a more shitty format than regular standard
>>97876438A murder mystery set in ravnica sounds like fun. The actual cards are just new versions of ravnica peeps and some of them are now detectives.I legitimately do not know a single thing that happened in murders. I dont even know who was fucking killed. I dont really keep track of the story but for a lot of non-ubsloppa sets you can get a vibe or idea just by playing a couple drafts. Like I know that Duskmourn is a planewide haunted house run by Vagina or whatever his name is.
>>97876438Its literally "new hat" set
>>97876479dina's guidance enables superior spidermantrudge might be shit, i thought it could be blinkedyeah the rest are midtruce is a midrange card btw, you just make the 1/1 always unless they have one really big thing. against someone with 3 creatures it's a housefel is kinda just 4 mana oko
>>97876502>I dont even know who was fucking killedi know trostani did it, and i think she killed like 4 guild leaders or something
>>97876406I sound like this and sound like this
>>97876502>>97876524Teysa, Zegana and Kylox (the new Viashino inventor guy) were all killed. Oba (of the Trostani) was the culprit, and WANTED to kill Krenko but only managed to get Kylox who he'd kidnapped at the time. Zegana was barely a character, Teysa came back as a ghost and Kylox didn't really matter at all, so, you know.
>>97876574OH WOWI dont give a shit about any of those charactersImpressive
Return to ikoria, but humans had to build giant robots to fight constantly mutating and growing monsters when?
>>97876602I mean if they do mecha vs kaiju they could easily just have a sort of war between Kamigawa and Ikoria for any number of reasons.
>>97876602i hate it already. haven't we had two mecha sets recently anyway-neon dynasty and brother's war?
>>97876602>giant robots have companionnot soon enough
>elder dragons exist>elder demons exist>elder angels don't existThe multiverse is kinda fucked up like that.
>>97876574The only names i recognize are Teysa (because of boobedit) and Krenko (because its first EDH deck i played)
What is your favorite creature type? I am thinking about restarting collecting my OG love "Beasts".Do you think Beast art improved over years or degraded?
>>97876637I can smell that card.
>>97876502They killed everyone's favorite banker.
>>97876654The only bank she can manage is sperm bank (that i can fill solo for her)
paradigm might be the worst value slop design in a long timeit just feels everything now either recurs itself or has at least a 3for1 built in
>>97876502>Like I know that Duskmourn is a planewide haunted house run by Vagina or whatever his name is.Large parts of it is haunted rollercoaster rides and circus tents. Valgavoth's true aim was to be a showman.
>>97876757>it just feels everything now either recurs itself or has at least a 3for1 built inThis idiot only just realized wotc is designing cards around EDH tards.
Why does Chandra look nothing like either of her parents?

Got any predictions for the next Secret Lair? At this point I just buy secret lairs and play my cube on Forge. I got to try one of my cubes a month ago but the last catch up for mtg fell apart as my friend's trans "brother" broke HER leg or some shit.

>>97876881It’s already a flop. The entire set is commander slop and the only 60 card boost is all the Izzet optimization redundancy for Lessons. Literal wet fart of a set to tee up Marbel Supertards. It’s not even prerelease yet and I already got email ads for preorders to Marvel

>>97877917I'm aware, but it's not usually a thing in India. And Chandra's red is much more 'fantasy red'.

>>97878287God I miss the days like this. Some of my friends trooned out. Others became cunts. Most just moved out of the shithole backwater I live in. I’d move too since I work remotely but I’d never get a mortgage as good as the one I have locked in and my daughter likes her school. My friend wants to play my cube this week online. I’m gonna try to make it happen. But damn I miss seeing friends in person without my cunt of a wife around.Anyone have experience using xmage for cube?
>>97875246>"Per capita is hard for me to comprehend"
>>97873801but I already play Old School
Premodern is the worst format of them all. It's terrible. Nobody should play it. Don't even look into it. In fact, everything about it is so bad, we should sell all of our old cards and premodern staples. Just get rid of them. Especially cards like Powder Keg and Exalted Angel. Oh, and Cursed Scroll.
Where's the fucking Elder Scrolls UB slop, Todd?!Fallout did gangbusters, hurry the fuck up.There's enough content for 2 standard sets or a fuckin' Modern Horizons, I don't give a shit.
>>97879412They probably don't want to compete with the elder scroll card game if that one still exists
>>97879418Elder Scrolls: Legends died.It's free real estate with plenty of assets.
>>97879412I would unironically consoom this. What I would lose my mind for would be:>Nier auotmata>Arcanum>Legend of zelda>Mistborn>Darkest dungeon

>>97878574Who cares.It's a fucking cardboard rectangle with zero historic or cultural significance.
Upvote this post, my dudes.
>>97879384I agree, the format sucks. Unfortunately, BL is working on a Premodern set. Here is a preview of it, subject to change.
>>97879670Who's BL?
Why do you design a game?Is it for people to play the game, or is it to sell something to someone who will never play it?When claiming that a particular game expansion was successful, should we not discuss only the parts of that product that people who actually play the game engage with? Collector Boosters? Premium foil serialized reprint? Alt border treatments destined to slowly disintegrate in a scalper's binder? All of that is corporate dust. What matters is the Play Booster sales, because those are selling to people who play the game. Playing the game is the purpose of the game. All else is slop greed.Universes Beyond is a catastrophic failure to anyone who actually cares about the game. There is no argument against this. The facts are clear.
>>97879673chink producing and selling counterfeits.
>>97879679cool source bro. universes beyond brings in new customers, the most valueable currency for a company. wotc doesnt care about non-customers like you.
>>97879670>>97879681Why no Exalted Angel? It's in every other deck.
>>97879685>universes beyond brings in new customers, the most valueable currency for a company.It does not. It brings in tourists and massively increases churn. Churn is a universally terrible thing to increase. UB is a suicidal pursuit.
>>97879686he already offers them.
>>97879685>>97879689A 5% increase in churn rate reliably corresponds to ~50% annual losses across almost all sales fields. Very small increases in churn result in massive increases in the demand for marketing to offset the titanic losses that churn creates.Pursuing a business strategy of fast sales and high churn is psychotic and genuinely impossible to maintain long-term.
>>97879679>>97879689If I was working at WotC, I would do exactly what they are doing right now. They have never made that much money. Some nerds get angry? Sales might drop in a few years? Who cares? You get a bonus.It's terrible, but why should they not take the money when we are throwing it at them? It's their job. We have only ourselves to blame for enabling this crap.
>>97879705>If I was working at WotC, I would do exactly what they are doing right now.That isn't a statement that supports what WotC is doing. That is a statement declaring that you are an idiot.
>>97879716>I don't like waht you say, ur dumlmao moron
>>97879721>"I would partake in the same suicidal greed, had I the chance."Is the statement of a vapid husk of a human, withered of spirit, who lacks all morals and takes no responsibility for their own personal failures.That is you, anon. You are a cretin.
If I was working at WoTC I'd be concerned for the future of MtG. There is no denying that numerous other card games are sprouting up to reclaim the audience they're shitting on. Only a fuckwit enjoys playing current year big standard, commander is boring as fuck and basically an elaborate game of Diplomacy, there are fan made formats like pre-modern which is infested with hues and planar standard which still has fire bullshit. Sorcery, Yugioh, One Piece all of these card games are rising stars because MtG is simply not the same power house it once was. They might make a lot of money from collectors of UB trash but just look at the Leech Collector to know the direction MtG is headed. It will be just like so many murdered franchises, offered up on the altar of DEI because white man bad. I'll always have cube at least, they literally can't fuck that up.
>>97879689>churn le badAnd yet people churn credit cards no problem!
>>97879726It's their job to make money for the company. Do you understand this? If they can do something that increases sales, they will do it. It's how it works in the grown up world. In a few years when this sheme collapses they will be already be gone working somewhere else. The people selling you cars or vacuum cleaners or computers or whatever do not care about your wellbeing or what happens in a few years. If they can use cheaper materials, they will. If they can increase sales by marketing they will.
>>97879745>It's their job to make money for the company.WRONG. You fucking retard.Their job is to design for the card game "Magic: The Gathering"
>>97879745>It's their job to make money for the company.Embracing the thought that work is about profit for your boss, and not the fruits of your labor, is the exact point when you enter late stage capitalism.

You sit down with your favela friends on some plastic furniture. It's a warm summer night. Your tranny gf sits on your lap and caresses your hair. In the background there is electrofunk music, the neighbours arguing and the faint noise of gunshots. You take out your premodern decks. Life is good.

>>97877638congrats, you've just created new names for basic land types
>>97879686There's a number of cards that I suggested he add to the set that he doesn't have already. I think they should take a higher priority, especially those that Usea doesn't have. A couple of his recent nonfoil sets have had OG printings of various premodern cards, but I get the impression alot of more casual buyers like to buy whole sets because they think they're getting a discount - they aren't. Can you believe that Plaguebearer was a bulk rare a month ago and is now going for something like $30 USD?>Plaguebearer>Engineered Plague>Foil >Tsabo's Web>Psychatog>Weathered Wayfarer (ONS)>Savannah Lions (Foreign Black Border or Unlimited)>Stasis (Foreign or Unlimited, maybe 4th or revised)And ones that he already has>Cursed Scroll>Powder Keg>Exalted Angel>Undiscovered Paradise>Phyrexian Devourer>Altar of Dementia>Volrath's Shapeshifter (only a single copy is used in a powerful deck)>Brain Freeze

>“Do you have newspapers on Fiora?”>“I’ve never heard the term before, so I’m assuming not.”>“Broadsheets, maybe? Declarations from the local government, news about what’s been happening where and when and to whom, postings about job fairs…”>“Ah. No. We have printing presses, but the Queen would never tolerate such a potentially uncontrollable means of making her will known. City criers suit her much better, and they know that to deviate from her decrees is to risk a slit throat or a stolen tongue.”Nobody on this plane knows shit about what's going on on any given day
>>97879923How does any of this work? You go to his chink site and order premade sets of proxies?
>>97879936Corusant from Phantom Menance?
>>97879937For BL, you either email him, buy from his website or buy from his Aliexpress store. You can also join one of the frequent no-middleman group buys in the Proxy BST d*scord server to get wholesale rates although the people running them started jewing participants for a $5 service fee. It's still cheaper overall. Anyway, just email him the list of cards you want and the BL set they're from e.g4 City of Traitors English - BL REGULAR 184 Guru Lands Plains - BL REGULAR 16I think his normal prices are $2 per card although you can negotiate, and GB wholesale prices are $1 per card. No, you don't need to buy a full set. The 'discount' for doing so is the same as paying group buy rates.For Usea, which most people consider to be better for ~90% of cards and especially foils, he has a website, a self service ordering form, and people running group buys. If you use his website, you add all the stuff to your cart, enter your shipping info and then check out. In the notes section specify if you'd like to pay via Stripe or Paypal, then a few days later you'll get a manual invoice. The self service process involves using a scripted spreadsheet and helps speed up processing times.Other sellers include Ron, Gail Cao and Villa Zheng. Same story as BL albeit no website. I would generally not recommend buying from Ron unless you specifically want FWB/FBB Tropical Island, Volcanic Island, Plateau, Badlands or Tundra (all from BM LANDS 1) or another exclusive noone else has. You can also buy from a western reseller such as Bootleg Mage who does the leg work in checking which versions of card are best and filtering bad/misprints. He charges a premium to do it, something like $3 or $4 per card, but I've heard domestic US shipping is 2-3 days. I've never bought from him because I'm not in the US but he is legit. His cards are sourced from the above manufacturers.
