Magic the Gathering: No UBLET'S FORKIN GOOOOO EditionThis is a thread for a discussion of Magic the Gathering where no set or release that required 3rd party IP licensing can be mentioned. That includes Universes Beyond and Secret Lair.WARNING: There is a massive sperg from /edhg/ seething over the existence of threads he didn't personally make and it is highly likely that he is going to try to shit up these threads for a while. Ignore him and one day he will kill himself.The ONLY Magic sets this year:>Lorwyn Eclipsed, January 23 2026>Secrets of Strixhaven, April 24 2026>Reality Fracture, October 2 2026Thread Question:The leak about Reality Fracture being a color swap set rather than a pie break set is looking confirmed now we've seen the monoB Ral. What do you hope to see?Personally I just want more Ashling color swaps. I would love an Ashling in each color and was a bit disappointed that her blue counterpart is tied to red, being a double face card.
I like Jace's daughter as a character and I wish her cards were better. There, I said it.
what the fuck is this general?
Planar standard thread? Has anyone even tried the format?
>>97888963 see >>97888941
>>97888963Exactly what it says. A thread for discussing Magic in all formats but without UB and SLs>>97888969I would be interested to. The Magic community is too castrated to be vocal against UB. Too many influencer afraid to bite the hand that feeds them will complain about UB, but then buy boxes of it to open or play it on their streams to time with releases.It's time the community said what it wants instead of this "i don't wanna yuck someone else's yum" shit
I am so excited for Novemberhttps://youtu.be/nolpET4mgiI
this is the future you choose.
>>97889056It should have been a monk bros… or a cleric.
Tam a CUTE! I hope she has a good story in Reality Fracture
>Loved Modern post-Eye ban, pre-WotSIs there a Nostalgia format for me? I yearn for the days of kino decks like this being semi-viable.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvyEJacjEIc
>>97889090That might be too granular, but there is pre-modernYugioh has shown that gamers can revolt against their overlords and disapprove of what they're printing, returning to retro formats. I think the potential is there in Magic, you just have to organize.
The Reality Fracture leak for those who haven't seen it. Blue Chandra is basically guaranteed, rest of the Jacestice League also likely to get swaps
The best of Reality Fracture will be get a non gay version of Strixhaven.
>>97889263>we would like to proudly introduce Reality Fracture, an alternate timeline where anything is possible! Have you ever wondered "what if Strixhaven wasn't gay?" I can see it now.In all seriousness though, I don't hate Strixhaven. I think the idea of a magic school and having to learn and study magic is neat, the bits I don't like are the American college and sportsball aspects
>>97889298The perspective in this art is awful.
This schedule is retarded but... Can be worse next year?
>>97889429This isn't a UB hate thread, it's just a no UB thread. I think speculating about how much/what UB there will be next year is against the spirit of the thread.Just find joy in what we have.Here, I like this Strixhaven card.
>>97888984>SoifessorYou mean your God. He's on your side and hates UB.
>>97889494>He's on your side and hates UB.Why does he keep buying and playing it then?Also>your sideIf you don't dislike UB why are you here? There are other threads for you, kindly leave.
>>97889505show me your janny application and i'll consider it faggot
>Strixhaven in 2 weeks then 6 months until the next setWhelp.
>>97889535Happens. At least we're back to 3 sets a year
>>97889535And that's a good thing!
Is MTGO a good way to play without Universes Beyond?If yes, Would you recommend MTGO to a newcomer in 2026?
>>97888913If we don't have UB to complain about what do we have left?
>>97889605Not very familiar with it but it sounds a bit cancerous to me, maybe someone else can weigh in on it.All we need to do is connect with other people who don't like where Magic is going. That's it.>>97889615So you're saying Magic is perfect without UB? Dangerously based take.But idk, you can complain about powercreep or bans, or anything your little heart desires, cutie.
I just want one of these for each colour.WHY, WOTC? WHY WON'T YOU COMPLETE THE SET?!
>>97889745I think because lands are inexplicably green's "thing"Idk man I've argued with oldheads irl about this shit, but I think it was a design mistake to make fundamental game actions like drawing cards and playing lands the domain of particular colors.It would be like if only red was good at combat and other colors were crippled in comparison
Predict the next female gooner card, right now.
>>97889847I picture of my throbbing cock
>>97889893Do you work at WotC? Otherwise I think that may be unlikely
Oko is an attainable physique, stop eating Cheetos faggoid.
>>97889847I understand Gush now.
>>97890020Well yeah. It's that old meme of women seeing unrealistic beauty standards and having a meltdown and men seeing them and becoming inspired, it's true.
>>97889629>you can complain about powercreep or bans, or anything your little heart desires, cutie.But UB is more fun. Fire design is hot garbage. What more is there to say?
>>97890085Well anon, sounds like you've got it all solved and should go post in a different thread that better suits your tastes.
>>97889847this meme isn't accurate, i've never met a woman mtg player who dislikes hot female art or finds it "problematic". most seem to love it (at least if they like magic at all they prefer the nielson/ guay sexy art over the globohomo BIPOC full armor shit since R2R.it was literally the one flat asian who bitched about being mogged by elves n shit (plus troons of course, for the same reasons) that got signalboosted by soi boyssad
>>97890223>this meme isn’t accurate, my anecdotal experiences…Without a hint of irony
>>97890223True>>97890300Angry that his anecdote was countered by an anecdote
>>97889847Jace might get something kind of seductive if he’s the villain of Reality Fracture
>>97888969I checked the meta document and I was not feeling it. Just nothing unique, just the same control/midrange/combo stuff. The last few sets have been kind of "meh" mechanics wise so it just feels like an uninspired meta. Not a bad meta, just generic and boring.
>>97889090There was a sweet spot right around before the first modern horizons set in which modern meta was incredible. Diverse, fun, interesting, prices were mostly stable, fun stuff.
>>97889745>>97889755You could have each color having a different permanent as a land, but they already fucked that up by having all the 5 colors artifact lands.
>>97890362Are there enough permanent types to allow for that though?Creature, Artifact, enchantment…planeswalker? Battle???
>>97890397A 0 mana instant that makes a token land and count as your land drop? Same for a sorcery spell?
>>97890397You totally could for planeswalker. A battle land would be doable too, I don't see why not. Main issue would be the issue that dryad arbor already has, clarity issues when considering attackers/blockers.
>>97890435If you made an instant/sorcery that would have to go to blue so which colour would take artifact? Red? Like a treasure land? Maybe but then who the fuck takes battles? Because that seems red or black >>97890437What color would the planeswalker be thouuuuugh
>>97890444G = 1/1 creatureR = battle that you can defeat to make it tap for RRB = planeswalker it's yawg reawakened in urborg, you can throw in a dark ritual reference for the memberberriesU = artifact that can do some new shit I guess idkW = enchantment aura that gives some benefit to the enchanted creature while the land is untapped
>>97890460You could give the U Artifact reconfigure and it only taps for mana when it’s not a creature?
