Lol
Is playing anime variants cringe? I know some people hate them but I really like when they do anime variants. It’s not a variant but one of my favorite cards is Rev, tithe extractor
Tq: No I will not purchase it or trade for any Groom-haven cards. Not only do they all suck, I refuse to buy new products from GōtC
>>97880476You're playing with cardboards of ninja turtles, transformers, cowboys and space nonbinaries. The game itself is cringe, just do whatever you want
>>97880476Cringe is subjective but the cards are self-identifying nonetheless.
>>97879924>>TQI already bought the only product for this year (dan dan)And will only buy singles to build red dan dan
>One of the highest preselling cards behind the elder dragons and other mythicsWow, just like his father. It's too bad he's not nearly as viable in 60-card as his father.
Isn't it time lands entering used the stack?
>>97881010Spell LandDual that uses your land drop but enters as a spell on the stack and can be countered (if countered, your land drop is still used)
All the Infusion cards have me thinking about building Abzan control, something I haven't touched since the banning of Beanstalk and rotation of White Sun. Just need to figure out if standard has the right card draw for it.
>>97880948he cute tho
>>97881010>>97881077land spell(no manacost)sorcerythis spell can't be cast.you can only activate the ability of a "land spell" once a turn.you can't activate the ability of "land spell" if you have played a land this turn.discard this card from your hand: create a [basic land] token. you can't play lands until end of turn, activate only as a sorcery.a deck can have any number of "land spell" cards.anything I miss? -jace propably
>>97881077There's no spell that counters lands anyways. But you'd be able to respond to someone playing a landfall card then a land
/ourguys/ BL, Ron, and USea
So I finally finished reading Omens of Chaos. Good book overall. Dunno if I have a whole lot to SAY about it. Be nice to see some of these characters show up eventually. Kasmina is probably gonna pop up again and somehow just be alive.
>>97881637>spoilerI sure hope so. I ship her with Garruk.
>>97881655Alternatively Reality Fracture will have it happen. They did seem to draw SOME vague parallels between her and Jace, going off the deep end due to the Omenpaths making everything a mess and being willing to do some bad shit, though I think so far her attempting to split Arcavios in two is worse than anything Jace has done as of yet.
>>97881671Those damn dirty blues...
>>97879924This card is PEAK Strixhaven
>>97879924>Would you buy/trade for Secret of Strixhaven cards?Meh.
>TQI absolutely see no reason to buy any mtg product at this point. All cards will be powercreeped same year in few expansions, there is no way wotc can balance this mess of 5000 cards per year so shit is going to get worse every set until other players realize that they need to jump this sinking ship.I am just drafting on arena, the only format i actually can follow now.
Finalized version of BL's upcoming premodern set. There are some new cards and some reprints. I don't know why Plaguebearer is highlighted in yellow
>>97882177>BL's upcoming premodern setoh no no no Chang sisters
>>97881952I used to really enjoy drafting on Magic Arena. At some point I can't quite put my finger on, it feels like match-making algorithms, the shuffling algorithms have changed, and now the Arena client more closely resembles a slot-machine than an organic game. This is entirely paranoia, but I am one of the believers that the Arena client will intentionally pair you with stronger opponents (possibly bots) and will intentionally brick your draws when it is your turn to lose. (On the flip side, sometimes it will be "your turn" to win, so you get an easy opponent and the opponent bricks). I think we have all had the experience where we draft what we think is an amazing deck, only to go 0wins-3losses, or drafting the most medium pile of cards and getting the full 7wins. But more and more, it feels like drafting on Magic Arena is just a coin-flip, none of your decisions matter, just sometimes you win the slot machine, sometimes you lose it. For that reason (amongst others), I've stopped drafting as much on Arena recently.
>>97882204I consider this a shizo rambling but i do agree that Arena "random" doesnt feel actually random. to many instances of going first/second 6+ times in a row which is statistically too unlikely. Wotc coders probably fucked up there.
>tfw nearby local stores cannot handle another ub flop financially this year after spider-man and turtlesInb4 Marvel Superheroes puts final nail in the coffin.
>>97882241My LGS never managed to get enough people to draft turtles, got so desperate they started personally inviting people from TG group to participate in draft whether it was BB or EOE.Kinda hilarious ngl, dont feel bad about them at all because they banned me from main channel for innocent shitpost.
>>97881777Will definitely end up being one of those mythic uncommon
>>97882240>A gaming company would never rig their games to control outcomes in order to get players addicted>That's schizo ramblinglmao
>>97882337They dont need to rig their game, where are you going to go? Runeterra? Artifact? Shadowverse? LOL, LMAO. Lets be real here for a second MTG has best not insanely convoluted strategic part out of all other card game in existance. We are not leaving anywhere until jews literally push us to boiling point.Its like saying>a cocaine dealer adds meth to his coke to keep us hooked
>>97882337Do you think all games are rigged?
>>97882348There's no shame in admitting that mtg is the best card game owned by one of the worst companies renton wa had ever produced
>>97882337This is why I don't buy food from the store, they obviously put in stuff to get you addicted to food and buy more.
>>97882241If Marvel doesn't do it then Star Trek certainly will. I think they are relying on The Hobbit to keep this year on an even keel but no one told them that modern LotR fans don't give a shit about The Hobbit.
>>97882541Star Trek will be 100% a success
JogaPrémoderno
My biggest question about the Star Trek set is "which iconic character is going to be race-swapped to black?".
Do you think wotc realizes that like 60% of FinalFantasy success came from asians jumping on boxes, creating artificial shortage allowing LGS in other countries to sell their stuff at gigantic mark up.Because i honestly dont think they do considering that instead of digging in anime more they decided to give us Spiderman, Turtles, Marvel and StarTrek (lmao who the fuck cares about startrek) slop
>i'm hyped for secrets of strixhaven>i'm reminded here that i will have to deal with bilbo baggings and fucking kirk by the end of this yeari really can't find any joy in this fucking game...
>>97882567uhura
>>97882574>wotc>realizing anythingno, the tribe will spin the numbers however they like to push their agenda instead
>>97882585planar modern when?
>>97882612Planar Standard official support whenPlanar Modern official support when?Premodern official support when?
>>97882559Maybe? Star Trek fans are wildly demoralized, so they might get baited in by all the nostalgia, but they may also be too jaded to engage. Hard to say.
>>97882640>Premodern official support when?Why the fuck would you want that? Just them acknowledging it has been a disaster.
>>97882574It doesn't matter to them. If someone was buying boxes en masse just to throw them into a furnace, they'd happily sell him as much as he could ask for.
>>97882177How much for phyrexian dreads?
>>97882348>>97882358>>97882409How exactly do you think a RNG (random number generator) works in a computer program?
>>97882821Some random numbers likeCurrent server temp + current time in hours rounded up give you number and if its odd, player 1 goes first, if its even player 2 goes first.In my example if server temp is stable one of the players will go first much more time than he statistically should.
>>97882817See my post from yesterday >>97879973
>>97882846What is his aliexpress store these days?
>>97882850I only ever buy from via group buys or email. He says Aliexpress charges him too many fees and charges the customer taxes, so it's better to deal with him directly. https://blacklotus.aliexpress.com/store/1101109646https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E2iSRhhNUjaZ3MblXx_rflpOIkMwK40OgX5X6yXE4zw/edithttps://blacklotuscards.com/
>>97882895Bismallah you are a saint.
>>97882348>ArtifactMan I fucking WISHFucking valve, you promised you'd rerelease it after the rework...
I dont think we are flourishing bros, at all
>>97882905Artifact had no chance of succeeding. The design process was a failure at basically every step because Valve was too incompetent to notice the warning signs, and development had the George Lucas problem where nobody wanted to point out that some of Richard Garfield's ideas weren't very good.
>>97882905>liking artifactI bet you find creating spreadsheets exciting
>>97882559>>97882733Star Trek is weird where the big Trekkie fans don't actually engage too much with the current stuff except for a few things here and there (I think Lower Decks is generally well-regarded, but Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy less so), but nostalgia-bait can do a lot. Like I'm fairly sure the set will be mostly TOS and TNG, though it'll cover the whole franchise (except maybe Kelvin Timeline stuff I kinda doubt that'll show).
>>97882918wait until stark trek comes outthen we will flourish harder
>>97882918>Standard has continued to look diverse and healthy in the months since our last banned and restricted update
>>97882241I know Small lgs are FORCED to take the loss or be cut from suply chain, but i wonder if big chains like wallmart and microcenter are willing to buy another big bulk of flop like spiderman and they refuse how the deal is
>>97883025>>97882559All die hard star treek fans are 60+ year old boomers that give 0 shit about expensive cardboard
>>97882574to be fair, most of this batch and probably the next were decided well in advance of UB:FF's release. I fully expect an isekaislop ub by 2030.
>>97882821By using any number of RNG functions available from the language that they're using. This is CS 101 shit, it's not complicated. Arena uses Unity, I've never looked but I guarantee there's one built in. Unless you think every Unity game is rigged, that's not an issue.
>>97882574it was a mix of everything>squeenix fans are COOOMSOMERS>big overlap with a FANTASY videogame>no mandatory niggers, game already has cool black dudes>japanese have autism so they would not let the girls get uglyfy
>>97882901Thank you, but I really would say Usea's cards are better overall. BL is fine enough though especially if you don't use foils.
>>97883090I hate foils and I only really want 2-4 playsets of random premodern cards that I refuse to buy or play with.
>>97883106Should be fine then, just be aware that no matter who you go with the results aren't going to be 100% perfect but either should be 90%+ of the way there. If you post the specific cards you're after I can confirm or advise or whatever.
>>97883082Barret isn't black
>ruins your set
>>97883065Trekkis will spend huge amount of money on nostalgia bait and klingons specially if they focus on the "good" Star Trek and not shit like Academy
>>97883263again, i dont think trekkies give a fuck about mtg, if anything they will buy ship models, not pictures of ships for a game they dont even know it exists
>>97883263Except 90% of trekkis should be dead from Diabetes by now
It's so fucked up that SOS delivered a new Ral but not a new Liliana.
>>97883186I've bought from BL before, they where fine-ish for sleeved cards.And onto the topic, hermit, craddle, survival, dreadnought and I think that's about it.Albeit I need to check if they even play it near where I live.
>>97883330We've already seen new Liliana, she'll almost certainly be in RF.
>>97883229The whole set was shit
>>97883263>The median is often estimated around the early-to-mid 50s.lmao this shit is so dead on arrival
>>97883334>Deranged Hermit Usea's last update July 2024 - "Set symbol off, but otherwise okay."BL last update April 2025 - Minor flaws, frame slightly too contrasty, white layer (name, typeline, copyright, P/T, set symbol border) too thick>CradleUsea's last update Feb 2025. Notably Usea's has the correct set symbol gradient (almost no gradient at all) compared to BL's, which has a stereotypical gold gradient. However for some reason the yellow dragon thing in the background of usea's looks completely different. I believe they use AI upscaling for old low res art and it's butchered this part. The rest of the card is overall better.>SurvivalUsea last update December 2025BL last update June 2025BL's is a bit pixelated in the artwork and has the usual frame issues but it's close enough>DreadnoughtUsea last update March 2025BL last update June 2025BL's does a better job on the white layer and has less contrasty art, but the frame is overall worse. Usea's white layer is thicker and the art is more contrasty
>>97883306The heyday of TNG/DS9/Voyager overlaps the rise of Magic. The Trek fans that are into it because they grew up with those shows are also the perfect age to remember mtg as the fun game they played as kids.That's the target audience for UB, people who played the game for a while 20+ years ago and may become interested in checking it out again after hearing it's crossing over with a thing they like.
>>97882567Worf
Wish modern still had Hogaak
>>97883466Why?
>>97883415Thank you, seems dreadnought is best on BL.Frankly, they'll only been seen across the room so.
>>97883479Nothing can be worse than this
>>97883449>be a 50 yo boomer>heard there is a card game with Picard on it>go to a local store>get welcome by the SMELL>do a 360 and walk away
Thank you anons for shilling prefire, got my lgs in Latvia to host one and everyone had fun and felt like the magic that was lost years ago
>>97883531>Star Trek boomerino>Caring about the smellXD
>>97883509Yeah people are way too picky, myself included. I didn't know about the issue with Usea's Cradle until now and will raise it with him, but I've played it a couple of times at my LGS without issue as well as an old BL Emrakul that has a , where a space should be.
>>97883535Isn't it interesting how countries outside the realm of Anglocentrism seem to have better taste for formats? People here, because /mtg/ is only one person, will complain about alphabet soup people corrupting Magic, then turn around and decry Brazilians for playing Premodern with original printings.
>>97882918>37% Izzet deck>Almost all other color combos have had the same archetype(s) since ALTAWhen's the next "banning for fun" announcement? Surely they're not gonna wait until 2027 to shake things up, right?
>>97883466I honestly think modern gaak would be a tier 3 deck at best in the current meta, the matchup against energy is horrendous in my experience playing gaak in legacy
>>97883586Fair enough, frankly I just want cute proxies if I do end up playing premodern I'm not going to be cloak and dagger about using proxies.
>>97883597still not playing your retarded format macaco
>>97883597the trvth nuke is that angloyids literally cannot stop eating shit as long that shit is pro-kike.I play magic in spain? Any white format I want, Pauper, OS, Premodern, Legacy.Move to an angloyid country? Memedern, EDH and sTRANSdard only.
>>97883597Regan coded American Boomers (who then taugh millenials) into becoming corpo bootlickers or being label as a commie, hopefully zoomers and alphas are free from the curse
So Anglos are shit at Magic and a bunch of pigs of the worst kind? More news at 11 lol
>>97883656>sTRANSdardwait a minute that sounds familiar, did you perhaps happen to drop a trvth nvke in another card game general today?
>>97883531>be 33 year old millennial who loves Red Letter Media>hear the card game you played when you were in 6th grade has Picard in it>go walmart>can't believe you were lucky enough to get a foil in every pack you opened>take them to local game store to sell since you probably just tripled your money>don't sell them but the guy running the register tells you "The Sisko, Emissary" you pulled would be perfect for this new thing called "commander"
>>97883619Yeah people are pretty open to it. I think the only reason Lobstercon prohibits them is because it's impossible to verify that all 300+ attendees proxies don't offer any type of marked-cards style advantage.>>97883764A guy recently showed up in the proxy server asking for advice about what to do when new to the game as a whole; I tried to advise him to avoid EDH and really the game overall in current year, outside of kitchen table with friends, but he said he had already bought an EDH precon and was looking to upgrade it because his friends kept demolishing him. I just shook my head in dismay.
Trek will outsell TMNT and Marvel
>>97883884my knowledge of trek is nearly zero, what could they do other than more spacecraft cards? are there a lot of aliens?
>>97883995Well for one it's not going to be filled to the brim with fat ugly trannies, unlike LGBT Haven
>>97883995It has elves(in space), orcs(in space), goblins(in space), several flavors of lizardmen, shapeshifting goo people, cat people, sundry gods and omnipotent beings, and what is arguably the best series ends with the chosen one using a magic book to banish space demons back to hell.
>>97884045Oh, I forgot about the crystal spider people who need temperatures above 400 F to survive.
>>97884045I think the sad part is you know they won't make Vulcans Alien Elves, they'll just be a Vulcan type.
>>97883995You can do anything with Star Trekhttps://youtu.be/mZvr9D-EWLQ
>>97882559OS and TNG fans are all in their 40-60s now and not enough people care about anything past that to matter.

>>97883995>are there a lot of aliens?Yes, they could genuinely make a Star Trek set for each old TV show on its own. Not sure about nu trek, I found it unwatchable.
>>97884276Nu trek has a lot of overlapping with nu magic Pic related, it's Leech Collector
>>97884292I thought that was Pot of Greed.

>>97885400I'll counter by saying it's not bad. Just somewhere in the middle. More of a "meh" than anything.
>there is LITERALLY 2mana 'destroy ANY creature" card in standard right now>nobody is using itWhat is this shit?
>>97885464Because the creature you need to remove is a 1-drop and all the 2-drops make another body on entry. Next question.
>Make 7 sets a year>4 of the UB>The UB sets rot on LGS shelves and have to be heavily discounted in order to even have a chance of selling>3 more UB flops remaining for this year to nuke the LGSsWhat was the plan here?
>>97885546Doing what WotC always did: Force LGSes to buy shitty sets (this used to be middle sets of blocks) under threat of not getting access to sets that actually sell.Except now Magic's losing market share to Pokemon and fucking YGO of all games so stores are considering dropping Magic entirely.
>>97880476If you think "anime" is just a blanket term, then you are the type of person that would worry about that. Judge each variant by its own aesthetic values. Even this last set of special archive cards had people discuss if the JP or EN art were better or not.
I dont understand with the amount of good sci-fi shows there are how the hell they could pic Trek as the UB set, all the fans for that garbage are already dead
>>97885619I suppose it might be less about the IPs being adapted and more about WotC & Hasbro trying to cultivate a relationship with Paramount-Skydance, which owns Star Trek, ATLA, and TMNT. That could be a positive if WotC's IPs would be to get adapted for cinema or streaming. But that's just a thought, I've no if there's anything to it. An absurd portion of US entertainment media is owned by Disney and P-S so it'd be difficult to avoid working with either of them for an initiative like UB.
>Power Rangers UB>South Park UB>Rugrats UB>Yellowstone UB2027 is looking good
>>97885619Is Star Trek even popular outside the US?
>>97885686Very much so

>>97885803ok browhat is a real format?
PLAYPREMODERN
>>97885807Extended.
The only legit format is the one where you forget to ask your mate what format you're playing until after you're both done with setup, whereupon he will ask you in response, "What's a format?" and you will try to explain the concept but realize you don't know the details very well, and you both eventually decide to just go ahead and do as the cards say without sweating over whether the two of you are playing the game right according to other people.
>>97885864The Magic you played when you were 10 wasn't real Magic
https://pastebin.com/M6JDW4hRHow can I make it good?
>>97885904get rid of paw patch recruit and put in two more badger mole cubs and another ouroboroid.
MaRo has been teasing a “new card game” on blogatog for days now. What are the odds that reality fracture completely destroys the planes of magic and turns it into a UB only engine while the magic IP moves to a different card game?
>>97883449Worked on me with final fantasy, but that was the only set I've bought in to.
>>97883995It doesn't matter what WotC "could" do - what they "will" do is just surface level memes for the entire set. They have an established methodology here and they won't deviate.
>>97883330I'm starting to think she'll get a golgari variant within the next couple years. For a while now the way she's been written has deviated from the monoblack mindset.
>>97885763The thing is that detectives in Ravnica as a separate entity feels unnecessary. They already have two law enforcement organizations, at least, they have literal spy networks and slave trading allowed in the city. I can see the detectives being the "main" way guildless people may look for justice and crime solving, but they wouldn't have spread out that fast nor would the guilds allow them to grow so strong as to be so influential to get the authority to investigate crossguild crimes. Lazy writing and worldbuilding.

Rumors abound about the visiting professor, and he has become the source of a significant amount of campus gossip.Okay so they're pretending like there's nothing obviously unusual about him until RF rolls out in October.

It's been months. The set's physical release is right around the corner. They really are holding off on previewing the new Kasmina until the very last second, aren't they?
>>97886726will be shit
>>97886726Anon... She's missing presumed dead.
>>97886306Yugioh is an absolutely fantastic game....as long are you and your opponent always agree to play decks with a similar power level and keep a gentleman's agreement against the use of blowout cards.
>>97886781Ummm...book spoilers?
>join queue for mystery booster box SL>get to checkout, enter payment info, hit confirm>refreshes to the SL homepage>no confirmation>"this product is no longer available"Huh?
>>97886807>Game is good as long as you completely ignore the good cards and play shit decksLOLLMAO even
Pretty happy with how this turned out. What do you think?>https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7731049#paperGotta bring something new to the meta ;-)
>>97886991>sTRANStardno, just no.
>>97886555To be fair, unless you are a planeswalker or were really in the know about Ravnican politics/society, you wouldn't know who Ral is anyways. But having wizards from other planes visiting and teaching people in other planes is a nice development that only took several years to be properly used after the original mending. When was the last time a planeswalker actively learned or taught about other types of magic? Saheeli stealing the dinosaur designs from Ixalan? That one Planeswalker from Innistrad that discovered how to use Etherium and then was killed by Garruk?
>>97886651She looks like a cosplay bitch trying to look like someone from Rakdos rather than someone from Rakdos proper.
>>97886687Well, they can always print other versions of the alchemy only characters in other side products. What's another 1 or 2 side products over the 10+ sets and commander crap we get every year now.
>>97887004shut up
>>97887035try a real format for once.

jfc Ba Sing Se is such a fucking unbreakable midrange threat. This shit is 1000 times worse than Unstoppable Slasher and other recent atrocities. There's literally nothing you can do but pray you draw perfectly so you can out-tempo it.What the fuck were they thinking putting repeatable Earthbend onto a fucking land holy fuck.
>>97886306I like how YGO plays, I just can't be bothered to learn everything necessary to actually compete, also the card text is so fucking tiny
PréModerno
>>97887145What would you change?
I would like to suggest new format
>>97887253forgot my pic
>>97887246Playing Magic at all.
>>97887257>As Garfield Intended.Looks good.
>>97887257Finally a format i can get behind, fuck macacos.
Thinking of doing something similar with MTG cards, what do you think is the best way to go about this?Just stick them to the wall with wallpaper paste?
>>97887298>what do you think is the best way to go about this?Glued onto thin plywood.No need to damage the drywall.
>>97887298please dont, it looks cringe as fuck
>>97887298Disregard cringe babies, do it.I'd put up a wallpaper first, so that there's little risk of permanent damage and easier to remove if you want to later. I'd also be intentional about card frames so you have each wall/section matching.
I found out one of my favourite "MTGO Vintage cube" streamer has started making Slay the Spire 2 content instead, and finding success with it. It makes me happy seeing in not forced into playing Magic.
>>97887298Cool
>Italian plane>Indian plane>Greek plane>Nordic plane>plane, Japan>Egyptian plane>Congolian plane>Mayaincatec plane>ChinagolianepaleSEA planeI refuse to accept that an Arabian/Turkic/Persian plane should be out of the cards. It's absolute bullshit that there can't be a new Arabian Nights-flavored setting because of some proprietary nonsense from over thirty years ago.
>>97886810Are you soliciting spoilers or are you pointing out that the spoilered comment contained spoilers?
>>97887420yeah
>>97887298Anon is right about the plywood. Do that, and hang the plywood on french cleets.
>>97887298holy cringola
Found something unexpected on Amazon. Apparently there's a new Strixhaven sourcebook due next year, 112 pages thick. I don't think WotC has officially announced it yet but the product description is already up.>Welcome to Strixhaven University! As seen through the eyes of its staff, including an introduction by Professor Liliana Vess, this book details the history of Arcavios, provides the inside scoop of the University’s five colleges, and shares tips and tricks for life on campus.>The Incoming Student’s Guide to Strixhaven is an in-world visual history of Strixhaven University, the greatest and most fantastical school of magic in the Magic: The Gathering Multiverse. Inside its pages, young readers will discover a brief history of Arcavios and the school; an overview of its five colleges; tips for first years; the dazzling deeds of the school’s most notable alumni; and most importantly, how to get there and essential information on the Strixhaven job placement program.>Written by acclaimed fantasy novelist K Arsenault Rivera, this companion to the Secrets of Strixhaven is sure to charm and enlighten readers and Magic: The Gathering fans of all ages.
>>97887472I am asking if it's information from the book storyline, because I don't recall Kasmina being presumed dead. Spoilers.
I will continue to post THE CHART.Shills will continue... TO SEETHE.
>>97887570That's great but Turtles are their best selling set.
>>97887553At the end of the novel Kasmina, who was desparked, is sucked into the Snarl under Strixhaven. It's presumed that she died as a consequence, but because her body couldn't be recovered from the giant energy vortex, the characters acknowledge the very slim possibility that her spark reignited and she escaped someplace else. Which basically means WotC can and will bring her back whenever they feel like.
>>97887617Cowabunga UB let's gooooo
>Demonic Tutor on demandDoes the school actually allow demonic guest lecturers? Or demonic student advisors? That doesn't seem like a great idea.
>>97887617My LGS literally never managed to get enough people to sign up for TMNT draft, they got so desperate they started making BB and EOE drafts and PERSONALLY invite players from TG group.
>>97887617>Based on the strength of presales>The set released a day after this reportSo they literally set up TMNT to be a scam, sure TMNT technically had a larger presale but all numbers afterwards were garbage.
>>97887658One of the five main schools is focused on necromancy, you think the school cares about ethics?
>>97887659>>97887673When will you anons learn that distribution is all wotc cares about
>>97887684They have classes on necromantic ethics.
>>97887622Notably one of her owls watches the students at the end but that could mean it's just doing that on its own, she's still alive and watching, or it's literally just a random owl.
>>97887689I know WotC are a bunch of lying kikes, I’m just surprised how blatantly they lie to their shareholders. They obviously don’t play MtG
>>97887570How realistic is this chart considering UB will be here until 2030?
>>97887903I'd wager the rarer the real magic sets the better they will sell because og players just keep holding their money skipping ubsof course the sets themselves will be a factor. ain't no nigga buying thunder junction 2 unlike return to alara
>>97887942most og players are making some form of cube to play with the cards they like. There isn't a difference between players when it comes to uw vs ub. Collectors prefer ub because 'new reserved list'
>>97888070that last point is true but at least in here all the sealed events of ub have been very empty compared to real magic releases
i will NEVER accept UB sets doesnt matter the IP. all of them should flop.
i will NEVER accept UW sets doesnt matter they're all gay. all of them should flop.
People hating on UB sets are honestly weird in my opinion. MTG UW set lore was dogshit in last 5 years (started with marvel wannabe War of the spark). UB at least has chance to be cool and add something cool for mtg.I for example will gladly spend some dosh on Devil May Cry UB
>>97888212I agree in principle that MtG lore was dogshit, but UB isn't doing anything to make it better. I could sit here and make a point about why UB is making Magic worse, but the truth is that Magic has much worse issues that have rotted out it's core, UB is just another symptom of that only it's much more apparent since it acts as the face of a dying game.
>>97888212>UB at least has chance to be cool and add something cool for mtg.yep, yep, very cool.
>>97888212You faggot pigs should be quicked out of this game without exception, you don't have any love for it and you are willing to destroy it for some shit that in the end will be a garbage like the other UB sets
Return to Kaldheim
>>97888257and this time snow lands actually do something
>>97886325how many other sets have 2 mana 5/3 Big Lady with indestructible and haste?
>>97888252Quick tip anon, anyone calling in-universe UW is a particularly unemployed /edhg/ tourist trying to bait you. Try not to respond to them.
>>97888262Forget snow lands. This time we do fire lands.
>>97888239I'm interested, tell me the tale of the deeper issues anon.
Is woke shit done yet? Can I come back?
>>97888311>When this land enters, tap it unless you control two or more other lands.>This land taps for any colour.>When this land is tapped, you may pay 5 life to untap it.
>>97888371>Is woke shit done yet?no, the progressives are still alive, wait another 20 years or so
>>97888371You tell me >>97881777
>>97888301Classic poopdickschizo post
>>97888241>>97888252>yep, yep, very cool.>You faggot pigs should be quicked out of this game without exception, you don't have any love for it and you are willing to destroy it for some shit that in the end will be a garbage like the other UB sets
This card is living rent free in his head.
>>97888483Is incredible how every single thread the only argument of UB-apologist keeps being that card. Meanwhile i can post at least 5 pizza cards that makes that trans nothing in comparison lol
>>97888501It's incredible that I only need one card to encapsulate the faggotry of UW yes
>>97885763To me what makes me gag at it are the fedora hats.The original Ravnica novel literally starts with Wojek soldiers acting like detectives in a crime scene, looking for evidence and summoning the ghost of one of the dead guys.Ravnica is the only plane where detective cosplay is retarded and they managed to make it all the more ridiculous in art and story.
>>97888563Your schizophrenia, anon, you need your meds.
>>97888584Uh oh UW melty
>>97888630Can't you see the irony here? You are the one having a "melty".
It's hard for me to care about current year mtgfall or rome ub when???
Lorehold is a she dragon?Arnyn, Deathbloom BotanistVampire, they/them>Vampire, She/Her Mental illnessDamn, I think this game is not for me anymore.
>>97888581It probably would have made more sense in New Capenna or even Avishkar.
>>97881777I remember carefully going through all the different artwork while buying my cube. Carefully choosing what I thought was best for each individual card. For example I went with Rebecca Guy's elvish piper instead of the dude with the bag pipes. I carefully chose my favourite artwork for counterspell. I went through the artwork and while some looked a bit silly or outdated every one of them felt like magic. Somehow over 20 years they'd kept a semi consistent art style even with reprints etc.Now we come to Leech Collector. A literal LA fat black chick staring open mouthed at a leech. She looks like a cosplayer rather than an actual mtg card. She has a look on her face of exaggerated joy. Who is she showing this leech to? Does she often just grab her bottled leech and hold it up smiling mouth agape and hand out? Was the leech running free and she just managed to catch up then is celebrating? Why is the green accent on her cloak so bright is it glow in the dark paint? Why are her teeth so straight do they have dentists in fantasy times, or is it just that the modern diet ruins our teeth? She sure looks like she has a modern diet anyways.Fuck this new set. Fuck UW and UB.
>>97888730Forgot my pic.
>>97888670I'm not the one crying that UB is getting priority over UW though?
>>97888745You are relentlessly posting a single card to prove your point?
>it/its
>giant has neither reach nor trampleFucked up. Like a bird without flying.
>>97888756If the shoe fits then ofc
>>97887658The downside is that it isn't legendary. Six mana for a tutor on a stick.I doubt reanimator in sixty cards wants to reanimate this witch just to pay two more mana to tutor.Solid art
>>97888809If you haven't kept posted it here I wouldn't be aware of it existence.
>>97888832>he doesnt know about unglued>the UBfag is more of an mtg fan than the UWfagMany such cases
>>97888447Is that the worst you got? I mean yeah sure its some diversity bullshit and the character looks way too modern but it's not that bad
>>97888311>plane literally called Cold Home>hallmarked by snow subtype cards>adding land cards with a fire theme
NEW THREAD FOR PEOPLE SICK OF UB>>97888913>>97888913>>97888913Experimenting with a fork thread for all formats. Come join in
>>97886640Kiora is so fucking hot, reminds me of Deauxma
>>97888241>implying FF wasnt cool as fuck looking set
>>97888966she looks like a zombie
>>97888924You can't do this anti-UB shit just as the most pozzed UW set of all time drops, check back later
>>97888988Sultai girls are just better.
It's been downhill since ravnica
>>97889006I would argue that Guilds of ravnica was still fine and shit went down starting with WAR of the spark.
>>97887622>>97887753So are they gonna put out more novels from now on? It was a seven year wait since the last one.
>UB has no place in magic>Wotc needs to drop that shit and concetrate on MTG planes>and interesting MTG characters instead
>>97889035That's right.
>>97889057Ye daz rayt nigga
>>97889075Now post the transit mage and be done with it.
>>97889080>>97888483
is she cute?
>>97889120*They are cute.
>>97889022Power creep became the norm starting with lorwyn. War of the spark is when they stopped caring about power creep at all.The way i like to play hasn't been supported since time spiral. Where is my armageddon on a stick wizards??
>>97889151Are they cute?
>>97889035What if I hate both?
>>97888257GOOOOOOOODS!
>>97889151>Body Type B
Why did they unnerf Time Vault, especially since there are cards that got past it's drawback by increasing the number of counters on things?
>>97889035this but unironically
>Menace
>>97887658Lilian tries to discourage it.
>>97889526Well she's not the dean so she can fuck off.
>>97888398We already got a better version of that.
>>97888993But Aetherdrift was last year.
