>>97918835>Playing planar chaos 2: electric boogalooISHYGDDT, as far as I'm concerned strixhaven was the last set of the year
>>97918820>What is your favorite Elder creature?Mistform Ultimus, of course.
>>97918820This absolute unit
>>97918835Not so fast anon-kun! We have Superheroes and Hobbit on the way :^)
>>97918835Another 20 years of Jace being the most important person in the multiverse.
>>97918843The original is the best.
>>97918928His foot has teeth.
>>97918928>AI slop art
>>97918820The one and only.Protagonist of the best set of last year.
>tqMy grampa :D
Abrace a tradição.Venha pro prémoderno, /tg/.Venha pra casa...
>>97918973>the best set of last year.1. DSK released in 2024.2. You don't actually believe it was the best set of the year. You are saying that just to trigger me. I'm on to your shit.
>>97919003Nah, even if you seethe so much about DSK (if you actually do) i still think the set was great all of it but the survivor part.
>TQI remember it being the first big dumb creature I built a deck around when I started playing back in 2018, I'm not a green timmy anymore but it will always have a special place in my heart
>>97918861Such a modest cycle of elder dragons. They were the opposite of commander bait.
Thread Question
Very excited for standard to be entirely izzet + the five people who refuse to play anything other than dimir midrange
>>97919118I cannot bring myself to care about standard anymore, there's so many sets coming out so frequently, I cannot keep up
>>97919118flourishing btw
>>97918820>all 5 dragonlords died off screenThis passes for MtG lore in 2020s
>>97919189I wouldn't be surprised if they return in Reality Fracture nor disappointed if they don't.
>>97919174izzet chuds can't keep getting away with this
>>97919200It'd be funny if Jace recruits them to run Hexhaven.>No longer are you the lords of Tarkir. You're school teachers now.
>>97919174I'm so tired of JOTC idea of "balance" even now that they have literally the most product rate ever and that they "promised" that they would ban more often the meta of constructed across all formats is an absolute garbage...Fuck them.
Bring her back.
Can we do a set with levelers and prototypes again? Those are fun.
>>97919243the only promises they keep are the ones that make them moneyergo, the reserve list
The Hobbit won't be that bad
>>97919284they're gonna fill it up with food synergies up the assmaybe the ring tempts you comes back
>>97918820Legend. Banned for a reason.
What's a set mechanic you'd like to see return from a set/block you otherwise don't like? For me it's foretell.
I'm glad WGS backout of more collabs, imagine having your brand getting close to star treek dinosaurs and star wars nu males
>>97919319hated mom but i love battles
>>97919319BattlesStart your engines MutateAll of them made good this time
>>97919319Rooms & eerie
>>97919319I liked the ones from duskmourn like Dread and Delirium
what are your go-to card sleeves anons? have had shitty experiences with dragonshields and UG katanas. looking for any recs.
>>97919444I don't get the hype about Dragonshield. I have them for my first cube and they're kinda crap. For my second cube I used KMC hyper matte blue and they are much better. A few more are kind of crap out of the box but they're more durable over all and don't warp over time. For an expensive deck I'd go KMC inners and outers.
>>97919319Mutate could easily be good but the "no humans btw" clause pisses me the fuck off, baking the retarded humans vs. everything else story directly into the ability and limiting its potential.
>strixhaven deck arrived but I'm still waiting on the play boostersUnfortunate.
>>97919307They will 100% reprint the "one ring" card. The shire will look like the ghetto. Sting will be back. We'll get a bunch of dwarves who are black. We'll get a bunch of black elves. Maybe we'll even get a fat black elf now that would be a new one. The worst part is this will continue to fund Hasbro being woke CUNTS and only encourages their CUNTINESS
>>97919896The cutesy beholder is genuinely very funny.
>>97919907unironically canon
>>97919907Beauty is in its eye after all.
>Check it out, we taught 12,000,000 hornets to fly in cuboid formation!Okay, but... why?
>>97919924Because maths.
>>97919924they wanted increment to keep cubing its p/t each time but that would've been too op
>>97919919That was an April Fool's joke. It also had a gello monster you have to eat, a nutcracker golem, and ticklers. Pretty based issue ngl.
>Wanderer is 5'3">Tyvar is 5'8">Niko is 5'10">Kaito is 6'0"Something's not off with this visual.
>>97919987>not offAh fuck it I'm going to sleep
>>97919987The elf is wearing a fanny pack.
>>97919444I just go for dragonshield cause theyre cheapest, but they dont shuffle together very well..
>>97919987>Muh diversityAs much as I hated how they were clearly just chasing the Avengers trend like they always do at least the gatewatch wasn't full on DEI shit. I wonder if that's the real reason it was shit canned.
>>97920015I mean even the lion is white
>>97919319Shield counters. Not a big deal, but they're annoying in a very straightforward and honest way.
>>97919319Cheating because it already has been returning, but I like stun counters. Wish they used them for more creative things, like putting them on lands.
>>97920015Jatice league was shit too
>>97920015No, the reason it got canned is because it was stupid lol
>>97920065They retroactively made all of the women in the gatewatch into dykes. They clearly didn't think it had enough diversity.
>>97920015What I remember from Aether Revolt is that Chandra was making awkward moves on Nissa and Liliana kept calling Gideon names like Beefslab and Mancake.
>>97920070>retroactivelyYou shouldn't use this phrase. You aren't ready for it.
>>97920084>phrase
>>97920070nigger that's a mother with her daughter you mindbroken degenerate
>>97920135>a mother with her daughterHot
>>97920135>>97920158adoptive mother, so it's less hot
>>97919924>if the amount of mana you spent>spentGreat way to throw away what could potentially be an interesting miracle gr0 design.
>>97920166>adoptiveThat's a lie.
>>97920166Not adoptive. But father was whiter.
>>97920230fuck off, beans should die forever
>>97920255How did those two produce such an aggressively Irish-looking girl? We'll never know. But is it funny that they did? Quite.
>>97920135It's still included in the LGBTIQABCDEFGHIJKLMONPQRSTUVWXYZ image gallery.
Standard needs more prowess support
That's literally what Standard doesn't need lmao.What Standard (and all the other formats) needs are bans at least 4 bans.
>>97920323It's odd how they draw buttplugs next to the author's name.
>>97919284Anon, not even LotR fans like The Hobbit stuff.
>>97919319Plot for sure. That mechanic has some depth to it and the cards play out way better / more interesting than they first read.Warp was also pretty good, although much more limited in scope of what you can do with it.
>>97920070Wasn't Chandra from a different Plane before it was retconed to Kalidesh, or is that just me
>>97920352>LGBTIQABCDEFGHIJKLMONPQRSTUVWXYZAckshually, it's MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ now, chud.
>>97920474I think it was Ravnica. She was a Rakdos mage that stole Izzet Tech.
>>97920257Grow and beanstalk are not the same. I hate beanstalk, I don't hate grow.
>>97920587How would changing Increment from "mana you spent" to anything else enable grow but not beans?
>>97918835Harry Potter and the Elon musk shift over, reserve list reprints
posting some supposed "leaks" from reality fractured
>>97920680
>>97919896I just dont understand why wotc isn't showing art of things like filthy cum & shit everywhere bathhouses, dying of aids alone at 80 lbs (looking like a hall of cost survivor), and drag queens grooming groups of children in their art?are they homophobes or what
>>97920683and a torch of defiance reprint, that's about it
>>97920680>remake classic iconic card with iconic art>make him a blacklmao
>>97920680>asian guy tiago chan>becomes a nogCome the fuck on
>>97919444these seem good since its 150 per pack. so 2 60 card decks with sideboards or 1 commander deck with some other swap outs and just other sleeves to have on hand.
>>97920680>boltwave sting boltwave just doesn't have the same ring to it
>>97920680The callback to original Snappy in the shard is pretty high effort, so real?
dropped $250 on a deck awardand I still need more cards for it
>Stingcaster flashing back Flashback to give something else FlashbackTrue value
>>97920680i saw this too, huge if true
>>97920777You guys will eat up any custom card slop, huh?
>>97920799its from their discord
>>97920813
>>97920816what do you mean?
Is it smart to blow hundreds on Premodern cards right now? The format is proxy friendly, the hype could cool down eventually and maybe WotC will manage to get their greasy fingers on the format after all.
>>97919319Disturb from the shitty latest Innistrad sets and Harmonize from Dragonstorm.
>>97920926nobody plays premodern and why would they ACTIVELY play with the shittiest cards in magics history?let me know when they make a format from 9th edition/OG mirrodin to m13/OG Innistrad. thats an actual limited format with the best of magic. might even hace a stipulation to also allow cards from 93-95
>>97920079Chandra was revealed to be a fire albino autist, so her being awkward makes sense and Liliana calling Gideon beefcake was probablh because she was annoyed that she was being dragged into this gatewatch business after the events of eldritch moon and was just trying to push gideon's buttons.
>>97920323She's a fire albino, we've been through this discussion before when we discovered Chandra's parents were pajeets.
>>97920683Really boring design if true.
>>97920615Assuming the wording is changed to>Whenever you canst a spell, if its CMC is greater than CARDNAME'S p/t, growhttps://scryfall.com/search?q=otag%3Acheaper-than-mv+cmc%3D%3C4+game%3Apaper&unique=cards&as=grid&order=namehttps://scryfall.com/search?q=otag%3Apitch-spell+cmc%3C4+game%3Apaper&unique=cards&as=grid&order=nameAnd probably more than I'm missing. Daze is the main example that comes to mind. This means it can work with Daze, FoN, FoV, all of the MH2 evokers etc. I thought Daze and FoN especially would have been obvious.
>>97920950>no tits>extremely boring abilities>terrible name just to mirror a reprint in the same setYeah it's 100% real. The only way it can be any more real is putting her in a burqa
>>97920041they've had this since alpha and its called regeneration
>>97920926No. Buy stuff that's cheap, buy nice basics - like the island you posted - don't buy reals for cards like Terravore, Mox Diamond etc. Either buy a $20 printer or buy proxies; BL is working on this premodern set right now and Usea has been doing a bunch of premodern staples recently as well.>maybe WotC will manage to get their greasy fingers on the formatThe only ways Wizards can monetize the format are-Premodern masters-Reprinting premodern staples in non-format-specific masters sets like Double Masters or whatever-Secret lairs focusing on expensive premodern staples-Official support for the format in the form of GPs or other sanctioned eventsYou ask any premodern player if they would accept a Premodern Horizons set and they will laugh at you
>>97920752>142cmheh
>>97920951So yeah, it'd enable beans. Fuck off.
Anyone else think "draw X discard Y" and "draw X return Y to bottom" could be keyworded? Very surveil and scry coded.
>>97921067What? Read the cards, schizo
>>97920969That's a lot of ways
>>97921141The entire concept of keywords is pointless, if there are so goddamn many of them. Imagine starting this game and somebody writes you an entire vocabulary list of keywords you need to remember.
>>97921141the draw 1 to discard 1 is nicknamed looting. Loot 2 (to loot 2 draw 2 cards then discard 2 cards)theres another one called Rummaging
>>97921155No Loot is draw less boobs discard more boobs
>>97921146But none of them are destructive to the format, which is the point; any attempts to hijack the format would be met with the entire premodern playerbase laughing at the corporation who are powerless in this context.
>>97921150That's what reminder text is for (on otherwise simple cards with that keyword).>>97921155Not exactly what I meant but yeah these too (honestly make more sense)
>>97920689>the set has 11 planeswalkers>because they have to reprint all 5 of the normal coloured ones in addition to the 5 colour shifted>because nu-mtg fans wouldn't know who the fuck those non-UB characters are and wouldn't get the joke
>>97919189Same thing happened to the praetors
>>97920683>it's gonna be Chaos Planar 2.0Mildly interested
>>97920683>>97920680>>97920689The set numbers don't make sense.
>>97920683Flavor-wise, the name is clearly a reference to Baral, Chief of Compliance, who was basically Chandra's nemesis on Kaladesh. So alt-reality Chandra became a fascist instead of a firebrand.
>>97921155Rummage is the opposite, no? Discard first then drawAre there any situations where someone would rather Rummage than Loot? Provided the Rummage cost involves actually discarding a card, so you can't just have it as a free draw if it's the last card in your hand>>97921317when do we get the alt-reality set where Lili becomes my wife instead.............
>>97921312What do you mean?
>>97920683>in the alt universe where loot didn't give back her boobs
>>97920495My mistake, I need to start including every letter multiple times and even then still include the + at the end.
>>97919200>>97919240So will the Hexhaven schools teach the same things as the 5 Strixhaven schools but with shifted colors? So like Dromoka replaces Lorehold in teaching history and Ojutai replaces Silverquill in teaching word magic?
>>97920680>Doesn't have flashSnapcaster remains the king.
>>97921373They don't seem to be alt arts, yet their set numbers are pretty high for mono-colored cards. And there's only 30 slots between Blue Chandra and Red Chandra.
>>97920680>>97921408They just released the Instant card Flashback in SOS that only costs 1 Mana. This thing is worse in every way other than having a body.
>>97921412So it's worse in every way except the one that wins games?
>Snap caster but red and make it with hasteThis company deserves completely elimination
>>97921600It doesn't have flash, so he can't flashback counterspells.He's basically a Bloobraid Elf now
>>97920680This matches the style of a leaked test card that had White Oath of Liliana with shards of the original card, anyone have that image saved?
>>97921638
>>97921667Yeah, that's the one. Since they have the artwork made, clearly we'll be getting a color-shifted Oath of Liliana, so we might get color-chifted Oath cards for other Planeswalkers as well.
>white liliana>blue chandra>black ajani isn't this like the most retarded thing ever?
>>97921667Professor Alabaster?
>>97921700Professor White Power 2WW+1 Destroy all black creatures+2 Draw 3 cards (yes this is a white ability)-5 You get an emblem with "Whenever an opponent casts a creature spell that doesn’t share a color with a creature you control, counter that spell unless that player pays {X}, where X is its mana value."
>>97921693
>>97920680>>97920683>>97920689Looks boring / bad enough to be legit.
>>97921312The set symbol looks like something you would see from a promo sheet, it doesn't look like something they would use for the main set.
JoguePrémoderno
>>97921693So that means Green Jace and Red Garruk?
>>97921735What if the twist is that most of the set isn't actually Standard legal?
>>97921762im gonna play postmodern
>>97921776>UB becomes standard legal>IU stops being standard legalMaro is that you?
>>97921693GREEN JACE LET'S FUCKING GO
>>97919284As long it's brings reprints of all the expensive shit from LotR it will sell
>>97921775>Red GarrukHis dupe appears to be wearing the chain veil so he's likely gonna be rakdos or monoblack
>>97921775Wouldn't that be red Nissa?
>>97921775Jace is the big bad, he won't get a shift
>>97921667>black Liliana treated Jace like shit but secretly cared>white Liliana cheerleads Jace but secretly conspires against him
>>97921941>inb4 there's a Jace for every color now
Red Ajani focused on ealign damage to oppose the white lifegain Ajani would make the msot sens.Just say his backstory went a bit differently an he ended up all angry forever
>>97921951>colour shifted MaRo makes Jacetice League canon
Aminatou is the key to all this.
Have they made a set yet where all the color identities are fucked up and we have like a blue Ajani or a green Chandra
What is it with yappers and MTG. I have met so many people playing this game that will. Not. Stop. Speaking for more than 1 second. Just stream of conciousness, continuous blathering about everything and nothing. Has anyone else noticed this.
>>97922005If it bothers you you can just play arena.
>>97922017You must be a yapper. Its ok to stay silent for like 10 seconds every once in a while. You will not explode.
>>97921827Yeah, if Garruk is Black that means Ajani is probably Red and Jace is probably Green.
>>97921827>the chain veilWas that whole subplot with the onakke just dropped or what happened there?
How do cards like this work with Trample?Say, for example, I have a 4/3 attacker versus a 2/3 defender.Would the attacker still have to assign 3 damage to the defender then trample for 1x3 or would the attacker only have to assign 1 damage to the defender because of the triple damage effect?
Will they give us good cards finally at Planar Chaos? Because SOS is looking like shit.
>>97922005AutismTell them you would really prefer if they would be quiet
>>97922107huh?
>>9792210740k standard set confirmed
>>97919174new archetypes will arise with sos, stuff like "prismari control" or "prismari opus"
>>97921693More retarded than casting instant ramen and spiderman?
>>97918820Dat underbite tho
>>97920699>>97920697
>>97921693I actually really like off-color takes on stuff, Planar Chaos is still one of my favourite setsIt helps that this era of Magic had by far the best art, in my opinion
What was the story of Planar Chaos?
>>97922326Several of Dominaria's continents were temporally phased out from the plane during the Phyrexian invasion. While the invasion was defeated, it turns out that putting the plane back together is more complicated than taking it apart. Temporal rifts form on the plane and over time start spilling out things and people from alternate histories. Like the alternate version of Braids here who wasn't an evil cabalist who magically weaponized insanity and became trapped in her own nightmares.Eventually things are sorted out and set back as they were, mostly. Stuff from the Rathi Overlay remained on Dominaria. And the continent of Zhalfir turned into a whole new plane instead of being restored to where it was. But mostly things worked out.
>>97918820We'll probably get more Elders in the Marvel set, since Galactus is given the typing Elder Alien. They'll probably do the same for the Watcher, the Grandmaster the Collector, and the Celestials.
Why did WotC decided Extended should completly replace Standard?
>>97922518because one of the complaints they got about standard was that people didn't like spending a lot of money on a deck that wouldn't last very long, so their solution was increasing the duration a set stays in standardobviously they forgot to factor in their decision to push out a new set every other month so here we are
Create freely rotating Standard. That allows you to play old Standards. Previous rotations.
I rather play Planar Standard
>>97922607that doesnt sell new cards, chud.since people would just head to their bulk bins and pick old standard all stars.line HAS to go up, remember? and thats a good thing!
>>97921312>>97921410There's probably a section of the set that's specifically normal universe and their alternate universe counterparts. And the numbering of those cards comes after the normal set.
>>97922754Ironically it would. People would fuck around and try things they didn't back in the day. Or for the first time ever.Old Kamigawa block was deemed failure, but I guarantee people would play it a lot now.
>>97922836ok, but how does that sell any cards DIRECTLY from jotc?people are having fun with macaco modern but if it picks enough attention jotc will want a piece of the pie just like they did with cumander.
>>97922852They can print duel decks.
if Premodern gets more popular, Wizards might be tempted to start welching on the Reserve List so they can print Cursed Scrolls and Replenishes
>>97922893
>>97922893>WotC might improve their reprint policyThey would sooner buy out the entire Premodern committee and print Premodern Masters, killing the format in the process.
>>97922893They are already doing this to sell ub
>>97922893The absolute second that abolishing the reserved list is deemed to generate even the slightest bit of profit it will disappear.
>>97922933Daddy Hasbro will eventually see a moneymaking opportunity that its good little paypig isn't exploiting, and then WotC will start reprinting like Konami
>>97923073Unstoppable force (Hasbro greed) meets immovable object (WotC inability to do anything right)
>>97920777It looks to overpowered for Standard it might be a commander card.
>>97920913Yeah this one is fake. Mark said they wanted Reality fractured to be a fixed time spiral so no color pie breaks.
>>97921141Too little words to Keyword. Better as an ability word like Landfall.
>>97923124*Planar Chaos
I just went 0-3 against an endless parade of izzet draft decks. I am so sick of this stupid design era where everything has to have a secondary or recursion effect, so the two colours that specialise in it dominate. It's seriously unfun.
>>97921991If we can make her work, it will all fall into place...
>>97920969>You ask any premodern player if they would accept a Premodern Horizons set and they will laugh at youNot even that, the POINT OF PREMODERN is that it is a non-rotating time capsule of old game design.There is no point to add new cards to it because that misses the point, it is also why certain cards are banned while some equally strong cards are basically allowed to exist forevermore (survival, until recently tide, cradle, dreadnaught, gush), same with 93/94.>>97921146WoTC will never enact1. Reprinting expensive premodern cards (because the expensive cards are expensive because of the RL)2. Premodern masters (why would you make a premium product where all the chase cards cannot be reprinted and the draft design is antithetical to the current draft design?)3. GPs aren't for formats that don't move product on shelves, sanctioning premodern would kill it because then people will need to buy RL shit which is why legacy and vintage are dead in a ditch outside of 4 times a year.WoTC randomly does the reprinting or the SL wouldn't meaningfully affect premodern. Wotc hasn't monetized pauper to any meaningful degree and that format is a magnitude bigger than premodern (paupergeddons, which suck to get into if you aren't italian and are almost impossible for non-europeans, get 1k+ players).
>>97922418Braids my beloved
>>97922064He'd only have to assign 1, and then can deal 9 damage to the defending player.it's basically whatever's needed to kill the creature. That's why trample+deathtouch is such a good combo, because you only have to assign 1 damage and then can trample over with the rest.
hummm humm brewbrewbrew pioneer grixis control big spells hummm
>>97921991That tracks, she was the MVP of Duskmourn despite never entering the plane, if she can beat Vaginamoth from Ravnica she can probably beat Jace while he's high on bath salts or whatever.
>>97923424>Control in current year>Izzet control>Relies on a 4-drop leading into more cardslol ur ass getting raped by a 1-drop
>>97923424>spending 4 mana on a artifact>in CSC, the formatnot gonna happen lil bro
>>97918835What if they did a new set of Plane Chase for Reality Fracture? That'd be awesome. But man, what a long wait for Reality Fracture. Fuck Universes Beyond right in its nasty unkempt pussy.None of you guys buy Universes Beyond. It needs to fucking fail so Magic can be good again.
>>97920049I agree and I think it would be an interesting way of exploring mana denial. Something like "tap target land and put X stun counters on it"
Imagine if WOTC did something like this with the reserved list.The relaunch of Neo Geo is turning the retro market upside down. Total investor death!
>>97920680This is neat. Snapcaster was never supposed to have been blue so this feels like a fitting color break fix.
>>97922311Cards that aren't Legendary can be more than one person just with the same abilities. There isn't just one Snapcaster Mage, it's a class of human wizards.>>97922659Are there a decent few LGS's running Planar Standard? What are the oldest sets allowed in it?>>97922990God damn, we need to just not give in and never, NEVER buy anything UB. Make that shit sit unsold on shelves all over the country. Make them STOP THIS BULLSHIT.
>But what if everyone wore cowboy hats?
>>97923792Failed experiment.

If Strixhaven's founder dragons are manifestations of the leyline snarls, shouldn't they be avatar dragons instead of elder dragons?
whats a good way to get into pauper? are there any beginner leagues?
I feel like the only person who liked Thunder Junction. I enjoyed the outpost alt art style a lot
>Duskmourn & Capenna run by demons>Innistrad & Ulgrotha run by vampires>Arcavios & Tarkir run by dragons>Lorwyn-Shadowmoor run by faeries>Theros, Kaldheim & Amonkhet run by gods>Ikoria run by dinosaurs>Serra's realm run by angelsCuriously the planes ruled by traditionally white or blue creatures seem uncommon. Like archons and sphinxes. You'd think being color-coded for extreme expressions of law and reason would make them more likely to gravitate towards positions of authority, but across the multiverse they rarely do.
>>97924127Fuck. Now I want a croissant.
>>97924157While Niv is in charge of Ravnica now, all the Guilpact stuff was actually made by Azor. Sphinx designed the whole guild system
Fuck. Now I want to Return to the Streets of New Capenna.
>>97924157Ravnica, for one. Theros was also led by the W god.
>>97924166They can transmute human bodies into gold bars?
>>97924157I think Theros might be godless as of MOM. Or maybe Ephara made it through. In any case the pantheon has some vacancies, so mortals are likely the bosses of their own shit more than they were before.
>>97924205
>>97924177>Dragon takes over plane>It turns gay the very next time it shows upWeird how this keeps happening...
>>97924157Jace's multiverse will have black Archons and red Sphinxes.
>>97924224they will dream up new gods to fill the void
>>97924224The leonin must be euphoric
>>97924315>black ArchonsRipping off Bolas, are we?
>tfw we will never get the last elder giant: skothait hurts so much bros
>>97924157Archons use to rule theros.
>>97924422On the plus side it means we never have to go back to Theros
>>97924195tfw easily get Mythic every month thanks to this little shitCapenna angels are cool
>>97924647>cool art>card is garboMANY such cases
So because it's getting posted I went back to browse SNC cards and found that apparently there are angels watermarked for the families, which is weird.
Also I'd forgotten it had cephalid cuties
>>97924760Probably because it uses shield counters, which is the Brokers mechanic.
>>97924782There's also an Obscura one.
>>97924771OCTOPUSSY
>>97924847Well that one clearly is flavored as a turncoat angel.
Are there any free cardscanner apps that are not cancer? My usecases:>Find a pile of cards in my apartment, scan through it, export a list to moxfield>Find a pile of cards, anything valuable inside?>Come home from a draft/prerelease, scan the chaff, add to my collection.
>>97924771>"we need to make cephalids more appealing to the 'humans only' set, give them a less animalistic design"like a year later>now we need to retcon their creature type to just be octopusYou don't hate Wizards enough.
>>97924889Nuh uh she's pure
Speaking of Cephalids and amazing art on shit cards.
When did it become acceptable to say nice things about SNC in public?
>>97924954Last week. Keep up.
>>97924954When the NEO newfags finally ACK'd so the mandate to shit on SNC to make NEO look better by comparison disappeared.
>>97924954It's rotated out of Standard, so now people can pretend like they've always been nostalgic over it. See ELD and IKO.
>>97924954Cope. I'm also going to say nice things about KHM, STX and DFT.
>>97924974But Throne of Eldraine was soulful.
>>97924974IKO was contentious, but ELD?
Kamigawa is great. We all love it. Don't pretend like you don't.
>>97925041>Kamigawa is greatTrue. However, NEOvagina is not Kamigawa.
>>97925019yeah look at all of this soulit definitely wasn't cancer to play against or whatever
>>97925092Why are Questing Beast and Embercleave there they weren't Banned? Also you forgot Mystic Sanctuary. Remember each banned Eldraine card is a different type.
>>97925092SOVL
>>97925092>not a single white cardPerfectly balanced.
>SOS finally outYay!!!>Next two sets will be shitty UB slopFuuuuuuuuuuuck
>>97925130Reality Fracture will turn things around.
>>97925112>Why are Questing Beast and Embercleave there they weren't Banned?because I'm talking about eldraine standard, I played against all of these cards when they came out>Also you forgot Mystic SanctuaryI didn't forget, mystic sanctuary bascially saw no play in standard, it was only a problem in formats where it was easy to fetch it (and pauper I guess)
>>97925092shush
Kamigawa (original) is probably the biggest case of historic revisionism I've ever seen in Magic history. When the set came out I genuinely didn't see a single person that had anything positive to say about the set aside from "the design mistakes weren't as bad as Mental Misstep". The opinion was that the designs were ugly as sin, the mechanics were total ass (fitting since one of them was "legends matter"), and the story was a clusterfuck of 10000 characters that did nothing.In many ways I feel it now perfectly embodies what a lot of armchair designers say Magic should be, where it's a block people say is peak, but if WotC actually stuck with that direction it would have killed the game because nobody would actually buy it, including the people glazing it so hard.
Never forget what they took from you.
>>97925209I'm noticing that you're omitting Caldaia and the Riveteers.
>>97925273To each his own.
>>97925313>Fun fact: the original briefing called for the girls wearing suspenders but after concerns regarding family friendliness I had to put pants on them for the final version. Ironically, on the card the text field almost completely covers the lower body of the girls so it really didn't make a big difference anyway. As a little bonus, I'm presenting the original lingerie version of the card illustration, too. Art direction: Sarah Wassell
>>97923939HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
>>97924903I kinda need to know this too.>>97925045Neon Dynasty was tons of fun to play and I wish it had gotten a whole Block, but I guess Blocks were discontinued shortly before it...>>97925474Is all that shit true?
it's not Magic The Gathering
Capenna was kino and i'm tired of pretending is was not.
>>97925498>Is all that shit true?Yes>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Isabela>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Porpoises
Jace's Capenna will be ruled by angels who look like different flavors of monmusu.
>>97924771
https://x.com/search?q=oops+(from%3ABeExcellent80s)this guy is so mindbroken lmao
Is there any hope on ever being up on the lore again? Should I just read/listen to the shit they put out with Reality Fracture?
>>97925664There hasn't been a plot point that has mattered since MOM. All of the new junk is just a bunch of new mcguffins that have gone nowhere and some hints at Jace "being up to something". That's it. You are caught up.
>>97925689Wow, apparently the scourge that is UB has even made them lazy with the overall MTG lore...
>>97925664When I got into magic a year ago I got the gist of the lore from the Tvtropes summaries page, and I still prefer to read that than the cringe ass modern writing in WOTC source material. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/MagicTheGathering
lore in nu mtg>they found a wild west plane, everybody put on cowboy hats>they visit speedracer plane and start driving cars around>they visit the horror house theme park and were horrified>they revisit tarkir, all the old dragons need to be killed because there's a new cycle>they revisit Strixhaven and meet Black Snape from the upcoming HBO Harry Potter adaptation.
>>97919987What is the lore behind the norse elf guy wearing a fannypack.
>>97925934He's canonically gay and they couldn't find a better way to represent this fact
>>97925937Lies and slander, he's not attracted to men, he just wants to fuck his brother.
>>97923505I never bought any sealed UB product, but I do have a few final fantasy and ATLA in my cube.
>>97923559Well, that is only happening because the saudis bought SNK and are trying to make money out of it. If you want the reserved list to die in this context, hope the saudis buy Hasbro or WotC.
>>97926006That is still perpetuating the problem and you should feel bad.
>>97924954Capenna is fine as a set, just a terrible draft experience.
>>97925019Eh, I found it unnecessary because in my eyes Lorwyn was already the fairy tale plane and the whole set-up of 5 mono colored courts was really generic. Tje draft was also a bit unbalanced, with milling being too good and consistent.
>>97925207I like the set, the aesthetics and the legendaries matter focus BUT everything else besides ninjutsu sucked. The hand size focus, bushido was boring as hell. Those lands that didn't untap if you made colored mana. Sucked.
>>97925934Fanny packs are practical and since Duskmourn is supposed to be based in 80's horror, it's era appropriate.
>>97926024I like the unique mechanics they have. If WotC ever reprint the same effects in-universe, I'll take them.
>>97921317>So alt-reality Chandra became a fascist instead of a firebrand.Yeah, SOS story basically indicated the alternate Chandra was a Consulate enforcer. Why this is somehow 'better' is anybody's guess but who knows I half expect they'll show alternate Jace existing alongside regular Jace and alternate Jace will be the secret evil final bad guy.
>>97920323The short answer is "Chandra was named without considering her name is super Indian and so they made her look like Default Redhead Woman because she's The Fire One".
>>97926187>alternate Jace will be the secret evil final bad guy.My prediction is it'll be regular Jace. Alt Jace will be a diverse womyn and replace him.
>>97924903Ok fuck it. I spent way too much time making one and now, I got something that at least kinda works. I could scan the prerelease pile without issues. Now, I need to find out how to make the $99 back if I want to share this with other people. Has anyone ITT ever published apps?
did they change the lore? i thought chandra was a psychopath who burned her parents' house down and they exiled her but i'm not sure if i'm getting her mixed up with lina from dota
>>97919174So how about them “powerful white cards”?
>>97926388No, that's definitely not Chandra.
Liliana of the Veil (black) vs Liliana of the Thong (white)Jace the Mindsculptor (blue) vs Jace the Musclesculptor (green)Ajani Goldmane (white) vs Ajani Goldchain (black) Garruk Wildspeaker (green) vs Garruk Rhymespitter (red)
At what point will you accept that this game is dead?
>>97919319fadingor suspend shenanigansreally, just please reprint original time spiral block,at regular- not special- cost. would hoard those boxes even if I never played this shithole game again
mtg is not dead....any day now... wotc will rewind the game to pre-eldraine... you'll... see...
>>97926490We already know we're getting Garruk of the Veil retard
>>97926576Nuh uh Garruk isn't trans
>>97926578So the opposit Garruk is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX-YMY2cx_s>tfw no ancient tomb gf
>>97926543Yeah, they will fix standard, ban all UB cards, make a new release shedule, fight scalpers, increase quality control, switch to print on demand, reprint much needed staples, hire actual writers for the story, and make better art direction. It will all be fine. Trust the plan.
>>97922064The other anon is wrong. You have to assign lethal damage to trample over, and then once the damage is assigned it can be modified.
>>97926490Garruk is Black and Ajani Red.Why do people keep mixing this up.
>>97926490The whole idea is so fucking gay and lame
>>97927184It's just this, but with Planeswalkers
>>97926490>whenever you cast a spell, draw a card>in blue>will never see play
>>97926950People quite literally don't know what enemy colours are anymore.
>>97926543Mtg is bigger and more alive than ever.
why didn't the fag who made new too early not link it? rhetorical question
>>97927540OP is a faggot, it has always been thus.
>>97927284>>97927284>>97927284
>>97922579>t people didn't like spending a lot of money on a deck that wouldn't last very longwhat sort of deranged non player thinks two years is not too long?
>>97925474>>97925498>>97925572To be honest, the "Emu war" was just three soldiers with two guns sent to help farmers deal with big birds ruining their plantations.It took three days and they killed between 900 and 3000 Emus (conflicting numbers, probably closer to 900s tho). It did jack shit because population of Emus at that time was at least 20k, but for how much resources and time they had, it's quite impressive.
