I missed Seb McKinnon everydaybut my aim is getting better
>>97992739not legal + not welcome at my table + should be errata'd to disallow vehicles
oh hey look, the furry pedo didn't get to grief the OP this time
>>97992728Chippy
>>97992793What the fuck are you talking about?
>>97992728>Which artist do you miss?Unironically. Has more soul than anything produced in the last 15+ years
>>97992728>TQTwo answers, Jim Murray and Anthony S. Waters.I would have added Larry Mcdougall as well but they brought him back for a random token in Lorwyn and an arena only alchemy card.
>>97992856I would be remiss not to post my favorite land from Anthony after mentioning him
>Konda>Heliod>Avacyn>Elesh NornThere's something about monowhite that just naturally lends itself to BBEG status in a way that monored and monogreen don't.
>>97992793We had a really civil and on topic thread last time. You poopdicks seemed demoralized, we don't want to scare you all away and lose the lulz, the thread would become too boring.(Pro furry game btw)
Why is she making that face?
>>97992739this better not be fucking real
She cute
>>97993127it's real but it's a Heroes of the Realm card so only the LOTR team at WOTC have it and it's only legal for them to use in Commander. Wizards themselves doesn't even share them publicly.
I have an Inferno deck that wants to combo multiple fire blasts in one turn, which obviously could take at least one player out of the game. The problem I have is that I never really do that since I feel a bit bad doing that too early, and also the remainder of the table perceives me as a massive thread and turns on me if I do, and so I typically lose the game without doing much. Should I just play more aggressively and hope to win with overwhelming dragonfire?
Dan lied.People died.
Thirty (30) starting life is objectively superior to fourty (40)
How much more skeletal does a demon have to be to be designated a demon skeleton? There's not a lot of not-skeleton parts left on there.
How do I escape the eternal cycle of "yeah this goes in every deck"?>building deck>put in the obligatory command tower, sol ring, and arcane signet >realize the same applies to stuff like chrome mox and ancient tomb
>>97993512Same question.
>>97993552Realize you do not have to put those into your deck. Its really that simple.
>>97992936You can be civil and on topic without putting needless nonsense into the OP. You DESPERATELY need you force you fetish and pushed memes onto everyone. That, for some reason is your identity, and its really fucking pathetic.
>>97993622The problem is my autism then goes into full overdrive with "dude what the fuck are you doing that's not efficient".
>>97993665You realize already you're doing it because you are an autistic faggot who needs to win more than anything else. If you want to change, focus on fun low power decks instead of trying to win hard in level you're playing at.
>>97993700>implying anyone actually plays cedhFrom what little I've seen of it at my LGS, it is supremely fucking gay and requires building new $5,000 decks the moment the meta shifts.
>>97993586What are the balls for?
>>97993717My LGS has a "no proxies for any format" policy that they claim is because they are a WPN store. Little did they know I use Chang's counterfeits.
>>97993722>6 cards>6 ballsmana is stored in the balls
>>97993741I see.
>>97993736>They don't know that I'm a lying and cheating scumfagYou're so cool bro, you want to come over and fuck my sister?
>the sheer state of the Magic pro tour
>>97993755>bro why aren't you paying $100+ for a single piece of cardboard like me
>>97993755fuck off cardboard-speculating rent-seeking shylock
yeah i play counterfeit dualsyeah i pass them off as real for streetcredso what?
>Opponent spite concedes to stop me from copying his Overlord of the Boilerbilges with a kicked Rite of Replication>Other two faggots back him up and say it's ok conceding is instant speed>mfw spent 8 mana time walking myself>Lose a few turns laterI'm mad as shit I won't lie
I bought a cool promo card from USea, but I didn't realize how much it cost in buyfagbux, so it's a little too conspicuous.
>>97993843Isn't conceding technically done at sorcery speed according to the rules?
>>97993876>104.3a A player can concede the game at any time. A player who concedes leaves the game immediately. That player loses the game.
>>97993843God damn that's a lot of condensed faggotry, Anon.Spitefag is a fag for conceding. The other two agreeing because they were about to end up in a losing position.Finally, (You) because you didn't just slam your copy tokens and play it out regardless of spitefag.
>>97993895That's dumb. That should say something like "you leave on your next turn."
>>97993956>Guy who is spending 11 hours tapping and untapping a mana dork with freed from the real.>You can't leave the game or the pinkerton's will come shoot you until your next turn.
>>97993959AI is just a tool. It has a low skill floor, but it is still just a tool. Same as a pencil. You are free to not like it, that's understandable, but a spade is a spade.
What's a good site to make pdfs with cards in the correct sizes on them?I need a site that lets me pick the right versions on it too instead of just having me import cards by name.
>>97993978just the cards faggotstop devaluing my investment
Conceding out of spite is dumb. Just play it out. I don't care if I'm losing, whoever is winning deserves to get to play it out. Conceding should usually only be done if you need to physically leave, or your opponent(s) are insufferable and you want to leave.
>>97993986I'm not proxying i just wanna print the art cards for the front window of my deckboxes
>>97994008I see you are an idiot.
>>97993896I just wanted a cool shiny sword

I think duskmourn nightmares had a pretty cool motif going on with the billowy smoke faces. It's probably the second most numerous tribe after humans and unlike humans these things don't look offensively lame. Too bad there's nothing as fun as survival associated with them.
>>97994057yeah but i didn't want that art boyo
>>97994057Good job understanding. I will use every super rare print $3.
>>97994081Exactly, that's why I pirate
>>97994116and this affects me how?
>>97993552Building to bracket 3 really helps my staple brain. Chrome Mox and Ancient Tomb are a lot less appealing when you have to choose between them and things like Demonic Tutor.
>>97994136(You) didn't answer the question.Also wasn't I too poor, now I'm a paypig?Lots of narrative flailing going on tbhdesu.
If you play the card (not waiting for resolving too) and THEN tap your lands you deserve eternal anal rape and I'll not play with you anymore. Also, if you don't keep your lands close to you or line up mana rocks and lands without clear distinction, I'll leave the table too, bye
>>97994164>>97994057>>he can't afford $10ergo "too poor", it's not a great leap of logic my guy.I don't do the printing though, /myguy/ USea and his team of consummate professionals does, silly kid.
Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.
People who care about the art of a card are retarded as fuck. I always buy the cheapest, ugliest version of every card because they're game pieces.
>>97993843This is why you don’t play with randoms. This is why you establish rules of conduct before hand. This is why you only play with your bros at your residence as opposed to tranny fagville local game stores.
>>97994270Playing with the same players over and over for all eternity is gay and insular.
>>97994242>when the guy can afford usea$10 versus $1 is a 10:1 ratio, it's quite economical.>it's called being miserly lolWhy is this a bad thing?>>he conveniently didn't answer the ai question>yeah that's right you better run lmaoWhat question, please direct me
>>97994244You're okay with my game pieces with giant tits on them then?
How do i get rid of the set symbol in magic set editor?I looked it up and people say to just delete the symbol in the window where you can edit the design of the symbol, but there's no option to delete the default square in there anywhere.
>>97994030as long as you didn't make it foil, you'd probably scoot by under the radaryou made it foil didn't you
>>97994300>>people go to usea to buy one (1) thing when the shipping will be more than thatNaw dawg, it's part of a group buy, so it's at a discount.Depending on how many cards you get, it'll all average out to $1.xx per card, factoring shipping in.>>97994300>you would be fine with people using ai resurrect the dead, right? it's a proxy!>>inb4 he runs away or just says he doesn't give a fuck, because ofc we should take a guy with no standards seriouslyI feel like this is a case of thishttps://www.logicallyfallacious.com/logicalfallacies/Appeal-to-Extremes>>97994311you know it
>>97994275It’s your bros and those are times you’ll cherish forever. Thanks for letting us know you don’t have friends you fucking tranny. Not surprised.
>>97994323>got a proxy of a card that's rarer than almost every serialized card by mistakelmao you absolute lunatic
>>97994334I just saw the cool art and didn't research it any furthermea culpa
>>97994339I get it, I like the fancy swords too
>>97994340Okay, well I'm fine with the AI resurrection prompt, go for it.
>Kamigawa>Theros>Amonkhet>KaldheimWhy did the top three more or less work as mythological theme park planes, but the last one faceplanted?
>>97994377the first three didn't have to blitzkrieg through the entire setting and mythology of the plane in a single set
>>97994325Fag mentality. Often when we do play together, it becomes more about hanging out with each other than playing the actual game. There's a time and a place for both things but they're very different experiences.
Your lgs does allow a limited number of proxies even in tournaments, right? You do have a cool lgs owner right anon?
>>97993552Sol ring definitely does not automatically go in every deck. It's only an auto include in colorless decks, artifact decks, or when it significantly helps your rollout if you draw it in the first 3 turns, which depending on your commander's cmc there's a very good chance it doesn't. I haven't put in in the last 3 decks I've made.
>>97994415My LGS allows unlimited proxies at any event
>>97994415My store is le WPN Premium, so no
>>97992856Demigod is so much better here as a weird Chernabog looking demon than the dickhead prerelease promo. It's crazy that JotC used to have good art on non-premium versions of cards.>>97993876>>97993888>>97993895Conceding should use the stack and be instant speed. Each player can only concede once.
>>97994415my store gives no fuckswe chill
That's it I'm doing it
>>97994442I'll triple down on it if you'd like.
>>97993736>proxyfag can't into self-restraintuh oh spaghettiOs
>he doesn't have a deck with best girl st the helmExplain yourselves.
>>97994427>reports to WotCHeh
>>97994559She's mid honestly, but XIV doesn't have many cute girls to pick from sadly.Kinda wanna build Tataru but i have no idea how this would actually win besides fishing for some generic combos.
>>97994415the only "official" EDH tournaments my LGS does (i.e. for real prizes) are precon tournaments
>>97994584I bet Worldshaper: The Game is very fun
>>97994587they haven't done one since before EOE came out but they have banned higher power precons like the MH3 ones in previous events
>>97994596Oh that's pretty nice actually.
>>97994596>they banned my manThat's bullshit.
>>97994559If she's in the top 100, she's a alut
Got a shipment of shovels in today.
>>97994559Esper control>horrible to pilot>horrible for the pod to fight
>>97994633Post sluts
>>97994688>That land taxThis is how landlord scumbags actually see themselves.
>>97994688That's tremendously pathetic
>>97994688The first 2 in each row are pretty good, the rest are embarassing. 4/14 = ~3/10
>>97993956There's not much you can do about it. The rules can't stop you from picking up your things and leaving. It has to be some sort of gentleman's agreement to prevent faggotry like the rite of replication situation. What we do is treat the leaving player as if he was still there until end of turn, for stuff like combat triggers and targets. But if the table doesn't agree to that it just sucks
>>97993843I still remember this game where I had to tap out everything to kill the archenemy, and said I would only do it if the other guy who had creatures promised not to attack me.To my suprise, he actually agreed to this and I killed the archenemy but then on his turn he attacked me anyway lmao.I was like "dude you blantantly lied", and he was like "yeah i know" and everyone else went along with it, it still pisses me off to this day. At least luckily after thay night I never saw that faggot again.
>>97994716It's tremendously fun.
>>97993978For me https://mtgprint.net/ is the best one
>>97992853I met him and his wife a month ago at a signing at a convention. He was very, very socially awkward. It was like he almost didn't want to sign my card.
>>97992728Sutfin
I've gotten into a bad habit of conceding when I'm exhausted with a game. Like 15+ turns of boardwipes and I just want to be done.
>>97994688That is some actual faggot shit
>>97994738This is /tg/, what flavor of socially awkward are we talking about? Rude, stammering, curt, mute?
>>97994688these girls are literally me
>>97994762Faggots love sexy depictions of women?
>>97994740Why do auriok girls hate textiles?
>>97994688>Paying for AI proxies.Beyond pathetic.
>uhh uhh yeah i b-b-bought this b-bayou in like 2005 when it was $40 ...haha....
>>97994798I traded for all my dual lands for around $70-$200 back in 2010. Wish I kept them instead of selling them for over double a few years later.
>>97994415I've never played Magic anywhere other than my house or one of my friends houses
>>97994415NopeA local retard basically said he was too retarded to not get conned into buying proxies printed into a sheet of paper with a white back, in the event that we should try to sell them as real cards, so the owner banned themThe solution? Now we still proxy but play exclusively among friends when in the lgs
>>97994688Holy based
>"You looking for a fourth?">"No, sorry, we're waiting for a friend."
>>97994798>>97994805>talking to coworker about magic>he mentions he was cleaning his dad's basement and found all his box of Revised edition stuff>true duals mixed into random jank decks from back in the day, now lovingly reorganized into bindersSome people have all the luck
>>97994397Then have fun playing with trannies and antisocial retards. Have some balls and establish a set of rules with your boys to make sure games get along if it’s that bad for you. EDH started as a casual time with friends. You clearly have forgotten where this format came from. God I hate nuMtG players so much. You guys are fucked.
>>97994859>roommate asks me to go through her dad's old cards>Stronghold Mox Diamond in near-perfect conditionFUCK
>>97994722Unbro like behavior and you have two approaches. Next time you play with him, you go all out and direct everything at him to teach a lesson. The other option is to tell him he’s a fucking little rat and knock him out of the game all the same until he learns his lesson. He’s not a bro, he’s a rat. I’m surprised so many of you tolerate this shit. Grow some balls and speak up.
yeah i dont mind playing with randos
>>97994854I don't really get angels & demons in Kaladesh. Are they all artificial? If so, shouldn't they be constructs?
>Finally, actual men and women playing with Prof>Oh, you know...
>>97994967I hate seeing that black on my tiktok and i hate myself for giving his slop multiple chances.Literally the most unfunny, obvious and obnoxious hominid you can imagine.
>Xe isn't playing double-sleeved
>>97994987What's a good brand for outer sleeves?
Rules question.Let's say I have Pic rel out. I cast a clone on a Dragon but the clone adds text to the thing it copies like Phantasmal image.Does Sarkhan became a copy of the original target of the clone or does it gain the additional abilities from the clone when it becomes a copy of it?
>>97994967He should have Rachel Weeks more often instead of this phenotype sink crew. She has sensible takes and makes my john tingle
I don't like any Commander gameplay channels
>>97994996Ultimate Guard Katana sleeves are the best.For inner sleeves get any sideloading ones, doesn't really matter which. Dragonshield makes sideloading inner sleeves if you like their stuff.
>>97994967oh hey I've seen her butthole
>>97994999>707.2 [...]The copiable values are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, color indicator, card type, subtype, supertype, rules text, power, toughness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects[...]This is then explicitly clarified in the next rule: >707.3. The copy’s copiable values become the copied information, as modified by the copy’s status (see rule 110.5). Objects that copy the object will use the new copiable values
why are buyfags so mad?
>>97994999I believe it would yes. See rule 707.3
>>97995024their identity is too invested in giving money to a company so it crumbles when you can do effectively the same with paper scraps
They should release a companion that lets you use cards outside of your color identity, but doesn't let you cast creatures from your hand anymore.This would be so fun for reanimator.
>>97995022>>97995029I see. Thanks.Guess I'll do clones over blink effects to refresh the shape-shifting.
Any reddit whisperers want to tell me what they mean by this one?
>>97995084It's about the Arena employees unionizing
>>97995090That's a bit dramatic
>>97995096Don't worry, we'll have a pride one next month instead
>>97994617this guy's deck was actually the specific reason they did the bans
What's your general playstyle like? In the groups I've been in I'm always known as the guy who never looks like a threat until I'm suddenly about to win. I just tend to play conservatively, holding resources until I can assemble a winning boardstate, or sudden overwhelming value. I hate overextending, and wait until the last moment to spend answers. I try as hard as I can to never present a glaring threat, always thinking from my opponent's perspectives. Even when playing aggro, but obviously don't play nearly as conservatively.
>>97992936just ritual post in thread if it matters so much
>>97995136For me it's >plays monoblack or something with black in it>"Honest Magic" >often holds up mana for responses or for value on an opp's end step, but these are usually defensive in nature so targeting him is always a risk (70% of the time I actually don't have anything but I enjoy the fear)
>>97994688how fat are you?
>>97995136General midrange player I guess?I'm sitting back playing removal interaction, building my board until I just go off.
>>97995136I'm know as the graveyard guy
>>97994377Not enough black humans. See this guy? It's the only black human in the set. Not only the only monoblack human, but the only human with any black at all in his color identity. Fucked up, right?
>>97995136Im usually the guy that's seen as the threat even by the actual threat of the table
>>97994377you can't flesh out a whole mythology in a single setalso negro vikings never work, as much as they want them to
>>97994688A few decent ones. Amy Rose is the strangest one, I can only assume you wanted to play her because of her mechanics? An actual furry wouldn't want a humanized version of the character, I'd think, though to my mind it's an improvement.
This guy is Toji Zenin in the command zone
>play Edgoy>say it's bracket 3>one dude asks if it's even possible to build below 4 (????)>get targeted by everyone all game for basically no reasonI hate youtubers for pushing all these retarded memes about him, he's barely even usable against good bracket 3 decks anymore even when built quite powerfully.He can work in B4 if you just run him as a comboslop pile but in bracket 3 he just doesn't really do anything. Vampires are a fairly weak tribe that's very inconsistent and runs out of gas super easily, getting an extra 1/1 per cast doesn't do shit.Maybe 9 years ago he was a strong commander but he sucks ass today and it's not fun how he gets you hyper-focused by retards.
>>97994377>KamigawaActually well thought out take inspired by but not directly lifted from nip mythology, strong visual identity, interesting story and compelling protagonist. A world we wanted to see more of, not knowing the horror that awaited.>therosDefinition of theme park. "Hey remember this thing from history class?" But if you're looking for ancient greece with the serial numbers filed off, it worked.>AmonkhetHard carried by the expectation that Bolas was going to slap Jace and Co.'s shit, some fun mechanics, two-set block gave the plot enough room to breathe.>KaldheimOne-set "blocks" cannot carry a plot, less of a Norse themepark and more of a Jack Kirby's Thor themepark but lame and gay. "Humans vs X" plane. Double face cards are a mistake.
>>97995381I didn't order the Rose or the Lucy, they are bonus cards the seller puts in when you order.
Mail came in, can finally do a little work on Lorehold and The Destined Warrior
>>97995413I'll say for Theros it was mechanically very accessible and it had some strong artistic themes with stuff like the Nyx and Returned that really captured the mood for the whole setting. Like yeah it might be a theme park but it's a really good theme that was well executed and had managed to work in the vital nuances of its source material.
>>97995445Ah, I see.
>>97995462For me, Theros will forever live under the black mark of failing to be the "Mirrodin for enchantments" it was hyped as, but I suppose taken on its own merits it had some good things. It WAS easy to get into, even if I found the mechanics underwhelming, and you do know a Nyx-related card when you see one with the starry pattern, so the visual identity is there.
>>97995492Theros had the distinct disadvantage of being a fairly middling block trying to continue a pretty lengthy run of great blocks
>>97994959>I’m surprised so many of you tolerate this shit. Grow some balls and speak up.Honestly, what the fuck are you supposed to do, everyone took his side and said he was allowed to do it, if i crashed out then and there it wouldve turned everyone against me and I would have 3 people I couldnt play with instead of 1. But then again I never got the chance for revenge because he never showed up again.
>>97995136Im always the archenemy. I play a lot of aggro and when I dont play aggro I play lots of shit that make me a target like Grave Pact and Dauthi Voidwalker. I dont win very much but idc
>>97995460Sick grabs, besides the spiderfag card. Library of Leng shoot up even more because of Lorehold?
>>97995404Same but with Kaalia, shes so outclassed now adays its unreal, yet everyone is still petrified of her, and now i dont run master of cruelties or any combo slop
>>97995544NTA, but I wouldn't play with the other guys either for letting him get away with lying. I'd take the extra effort to find a new playgroup if feasible.
>>97995574>and now i dont run master of cruelties or any combo slop*and no, i dont run master of cruelties or amy combo slop
>>97995544So you have precedence game wise that he isn’t to be trusted. Whatever you do, don’t sperg out. Just calmly focus the guy down every game you play and anyone else who breaks the trust. Yea it’s just a game but remember to treat it as just that. If someone takes advantage in game then you hammer the fuck out of them the next until behavior changes. Arguably setting ground rules of a gentleman’s game it’s important. Yes players should be held to their word. Punish those who don’t. If they bitch, calmly tell them like the man in charge that past behavior set the tone and the beatings will continue until you can come together as a group and actually enjoy your fucking games.
>>97995569It's gone up slightly from what I've seen, I was thinking Storm Herd would go up due to Lorehold but it was like 50-75 cents.
>>97995578The other 2 guys show up every week and my LGS is small so I have no choice but to interact with themCome to think of it my LGS fucking sucks, i might start driving the extra 30 min to get to the next nearest one which is bigger
Also helped that Ajani & Elspeth > Kaya & Niko, and Ashiok > Tibalt.
>>97995574>>97995583Yeah, Kaalia has fallen off pretty hard and I only run her nowadays for the artwork. One saving grace is that red has a lot of haste on lands so it frees deck slots for alternative themes.
>>97995574Yeah she seems very terrible and you have to build the whole deck around, so I assume it's super fragile.She really should at least have haste natively.
Elves
>>97995404>my eminence commander isnt even that strongMaybe theyre targeting you for being a faggot? My friend also claims his ur-dragon deck isnt that strong, we still target him anyway.
>>97995616she comes from a design era when the designers knew it would be retarded to make an insanely powerful effect self-enablingit was a better time
>playing EDHrec top 100Yep, you're target #1 until something else comes up. I don't make the rules.
>>97995643Fairest broken commander is a funny way to think about a card.
>>97995647You would love my pod. Were all new and one guy wont even consider playing a commander outside the top 20. At least we arent surprised when he presents a "new" deck idea. Like yeah I've seen your commander before, we've all looked at the same website.
How much of an asshole am I if I run Light Paws in b2? Technically I'm following the rules with no GC etc., but she's a walking nonstop tutor.
>>97995670>"No you don't get it dude. My commander is Atraxa so I can run a whole four colors of different things, like underrated staples such as Sylvan Library, Rhystic Study, and Smothering Tithe. Then it works with all sorts of counters! Not just +1/+1 counters, but like charge counters and loyalty counters!"
>>97995676Don't do that
>>97995404I recommend Sidar Jabari and shifting from Vampires to Knights, I don't recall the last time anyone said "eminence scary" about him, and Knights have a little bit of the Sliver thing where they can feed ridiculous keywords for no reason to each other like Kinsbaille Cavalier, Knight Exemplar, Skyhunter, Hoofbeats, etc. It's also surprising how much interaction you can disrupt or deincentivize with Stromgald Cabal and Order of the Sacred Torch. You can also commit harder to a grave theme if you want since looting is funne.>>97995676Would you consider Light Paws "low pressure, proactive, and considerate"? also something something tutors scarce or whatever that shit says lmao
>>97995686>>97995693That's what I figured. Time to pull 3 GCs out of my ass to go to b3.
>>97995647>have 18 EDH decks>average EDHrec is 1047>highest rank is 66Feels good, man.
>>97995685>>97995647Seeing this made me think of a friend who literally has never built a commander outside the top 5 besides Vivi and Bruvac
>>97995685That sounds just like one of my friends, except he keeps making 5 color decks so that he never has to make a decision on what powerful cards he cant use.
>>97995706I have an itch that can only be scratched by building mono black with sub-2000 ratings.>inb4 UB reee, if the design is fun idc
>>97995647>both Zhulodok and Ulalek are super highHow the hell do I play Eldrazi then, Mr. Hipster?
>>97995730Are there enough assassins that are good to make this work? Genuinely interesting tribal choice.
>>97995647The 2 of them are literally precon face commanders that are inflated. Shut up.
>>97995737Picrel if you're a bad enough dudeAzlask is also technically just outside of top 100 and you can play 5c sloppa with it
>>97995730Inb4 it's revealed that every such deck is just a tutor pile to grab Urborg+Coffers into Tormet every game.
>>97995730It's not sub-2000, but it's my favorite one.
>>97995737>Kruphix>Rakdos Lord of Riots>Herigast>Ultima if you're a big gay UB fag>Imoti>Liberator>Jhoira
>>97995747Not really, I realized quickly that the most valuable Assassins to this gameplay are the cheapo ones with no stats or abilities but deathtouch. The most valuable role most of them serve is to disincentivize attackers while Desmond gears up with evasion equips and swings in for commander damage. It's a lot of fun though.
>>97995768>one of my favorite OG Kamigawa legendsHow do you build him? Draw punish, or just digging for value? Demon or Spirit tribal?
>>97995796Sounds pretty lit, holding people at bay long enough to just go for the throat. I imagine you couple this with a lot of surveil/connive to get as much bang for your buck as possible? At least there's some decent removal options like King's Assassin, Massacre Girl Known Killer for Wither, Notorious Assassin, and that one elf one that can exile an assassin to destroy a creature iirc

>>97995798Lots of draw punish, hand size punish, discard punish, some graveyard recursion thrown in.
>>97995836Horrendously based, got a list?
>>97995835there's no such thing as a goblin netdeck, all goblin decks are the same no matter what. It's not like you can build krenko in a unique or creative way, he only does one thing.

I want to think I'm an adult and his behavior in magic didn't have a part in it, but deep down I'm not sure and I'm actually ashamed
>>97995921It wouldn't be that hard to make legendary either. Just make it so that, instead of the finality counter thing, it re-exiles the card at end of turn. Turn him into a graveyard toolbox.
>>97995921Post favorite liches
>>97996001Kek.

>>97996001There's such a thing as too much fungus.
I hear people talking about their favourite card art all the time but you never hear anyone talk about cool card names.
>>97996076Here is my contribution.
>>97996076Was he /ourguy/?
>>97996108Why does he have a joystick on his head?
>>97996115its my atomic bomb-shaped anal plug

The entire franchise is EdgyName McPerson
>>97992739why isn't this a legal commander? I mean any 2 commander or non creature commander is anti-commander but why is this one not allowed?
>>97996196Because you don't own it and never will
>>97996196It's a type of special card they sometimes make for people who work with the company. You can only play it if you're the actual person they made the card for. Or you could print it and ask the people you're playing with, wotc is not the boss of you. But you cant get mad if they say no.
>>97996146ty anon, I stand by my decision. It is what it is
>>97995730I picked up a foil of this guy forever ago on a whim but never ended up building it.
>>97996253Imagine being the guy that gets Greeled first. Must be a terrible feeling.
>>97995969Just play shit to spite his deck. Literally that easy and it’s extra fun to shit on some netdecking metafag. You sound like a pussy.
>>97992728Dany Orizio. He made evocative contributions to everything from the Invasion saga to the original Mirrodin, Kamigawa and Ravnica blocks. Drew like a handful of the original myrs, some slivers, and a bunch of plain cool stuff. And even shriveled snarling banshees had balloon tits.
>>97996307I could have, it's still tiring and gay to always have to counterpickAnyway we don't hang anymore because those other unrelated reasons so it's ok
They really need to make it brackets 1-5, then cEDH it's own thing. There needs to be a bracket between 3 and 4 that allows for more GC's but isn't so fast. Right now a deck can technically be bracket 4 because of GCs, but can be orders of magnitude weaker than one that is designed to win in turns 1-4 and has a average mana cost of 1.5.
>>97996108Has there ever been a block baddie who was mono green or red? Even when Tybalt got to be the heel in KHM he was Rakdos, I think. Maybe they don't lend themselves to assholes like the other solitary colors do.
>>97996517#1 big bad? Not sure. I know Vorinclex would be up there for what it's worth. Mono-Red kinda feels hard to make a villain out of outside of you making someone who just autistically hates any kind of authority and tries to topple every nation available to him. Maybe somebody like Godo or Hidetsugu, but even then, Konda steals the spotlight given what he did.
>>97996191don't leave home without it
>>97996639I'll have you know I have several real Cynthia Sheppard cards that I never actually play anyway
>there are still schizos who think it makes more sense that an artist would take the blame for plagiarism he didn't do than that he just photoshopped someone else's work and submitted itRedditor have a collective IQ below 100 I swear to god.
>>97996664>Colossal retard believes WotC for any reason, everMany such cases.
>>97996658look I just really liked AVR ok
>>97996664I know this is bait. I KNOW it is... but->it's more believable that one of the OG artists for this game would not just copy/paste someone else's work but not even try to hide it>in addition to knowing how to utilize several tools to do so>put it on a background that obviously doesn't fit>and to do all of this to one of the most recognizable pieces of fictional jewelry in the world>on the most important reprint this yearYeah, I 100% believe that a publicity blow and payout to an artist is easier than shaking even more people's faith in WOTC>they also said they paid the other artist in the same sentence as their apology>no punishments>retracted statements by involved people such as Dan's agent>oh and btw suddenly he's infirm and has dementia
>>97996678Dan Frazier isn't WotC and he says he did it. In fact I can prove to you that Dan is lying, but he's not lying about having done it, he's lying that he painted over the original work when he didn'tOn the left hand edge of his version of the ring you can still fucking see the lava from the background of Marta Nael's version. Something that wouldn't be there if he had painted over someone else's work as a reference, like he claimed.You on the other hand want to say that he actually didn't plagiarize at all and this is all some big misunderstanding that WotC somehow made him make a public statement accepting the blame for.Your evidence for this is nothing at all. Just the fact that you want to jerk off some old dude because back in the day he did art for Magic.
>>97996697>hey Dan's kid, here's $10,000, have your dad take the fall for our massive fuck up
>>97996697If there were any actual wrongdoing, they wouldn't be shipping/selling the card as is, but it was already printed and people caught them with their pants down. This is all corporate cope.>>97996725Neither of them should have been dropped by WoTC either because they did "wrongthink" despite never doing anything actually wrong. Reddit is full of lefty schizos who doublespeak 24/7.
>>97996693Here's a thought, WotC could have come out and called it a mistake if that's what they wanted to do. They could have just said that it was a concept piece intended as a starting point for what the final work might look like and it got sent to print by accident. Then they wouldn't have to get anyone to take any blame and it would all be swept under the rugBut instead they, in your mind, forced and artist to claim that he painted over someone else's work (which he provably didn't) and accept blame for something you claim he didn't do. It's retarded. You're retarded.>it's more believable that one of the OG artists for this game would not just copy/paste someone else's work but not even try to hide it>NOOOOO HE KNOWS HOW TO PAINT SO HE WOULDN'T CHEAT!!!!And lawyers know how to research and write briefs but they get caught submitting fake AI cases in court all the fucking time. They have way more on the line than some artist, and yet they still do it. The idea that someone shouldn't have to take a shortcut doesn't mean they won't.>in addition to knowing how to utilize several tools to do so3 tools. The cut function, the transform function, and the smear tool. An absolute novice with digital tools could do it in minutes.>>no punishmentsWhat do you think they should have spanked an 81 year old man? Whatr the fuck did you want to happen?>>97996714This is a genuinely schizophrenic thing to think lmao>>97996725They're in this fucking thread right now
>>97996732>they have way more on the line>Dan Frazier who does nothing but paint for WOTC as a living for the past 30 years has NOTHING TO LOSE Holy retard, batman!
>>97996732whenever you think of how evil and retarded a corporation can be, double it and then double it again
>>97996725What benefit of the doubt are they owed? They expressed opinions, and those opinions aren't something WotC want to be associated with. That's a company's right. That's not saying I agree or disagree with WotC terminating any and all contracts with them, its just an objective fact that's what businesses can do.For all we know, Seb and Terese could have been given the choice to make apologies and they refused. For all we know, this is just a polite way for WotC to terminate ever working with Dan again instead of publicly lambasting one of their longest running artists. So at the very least wait to see of Dan ever works for WotC again before you think he's not actually on WotCs shit list like Seb and Terese are,
>>97996732>Terese did a bad think>Seb wanted actual compensation>these are offenses worthy of being dropped for life>"""Dan""" causes a massive controversy over the single most important card of the year for the most expensive and profitable IP short of another FF set>Hey we all make mistakes and also his agent lied and he has dementia and we wont change it also we're sorry but we also paid Marta before they could even make a comment on this situation now we're paying both of them and everyone can just get over itThey already printed the cards, this is ALL corpospeak. Read their """apology""" again, they straight up mention paying Marta unprompted. So a massive, multi-billion dollar corporation headed by fucking Hasbro couldn't possibly just pay one of their old guard to take a hit for them? WotC is, and has always been extremely tactful in damage mitigation whenever they do something retarded, but this time it's an easy scapegoat since Dan actually has social credit with fans where they don't. What's a reputation hit when you're still on the payroll? What's a reputation hit when you're already nearing retirement anyway? Money trumps everything and it isn't some crazy conspiracy, very few things need to happen. No one is going to throw away consistent work on the principle of "hey they said i did it but i didn't". That's why (((Aronowitz))) immediately had to retract his remarks about neither of them having seen the """finished""" ring. Cry conspiracy all you want, but there's like 3 moving parts to this as opposed to people who write up the manifestos about epstien or whatever the world is pretending to be outraged about right now.
>>979967431. He's 81 years old, not exactly like he's got many years left in his career2. Lawyers sometimes represent people who could go to fucking prison or get the death penalty3. Lawyers can lose their entire careers and even face criminal charges of their own for misleading the courtSo uh...yah lawyers have way more on the line than a fucking artist, and yet they get caught with AI-hallucinated cases all the fucking time.Again, having the capacity to do something properly is no argument against proof they didn't fucking do the work.>>97996745>ermmmm but corporations are evil tho!!!!!Downs syndrome take.I ask you this, if le ebil cowpowation made da sad owld man take the blame for something he didn't do:1. Why do that at all when there are lies they could tell that wouldn't make anyone blameworthy? I.e. saying that it was just a rough draft proof of concept that neither Dan nor anyone who matters at WotC intended to print.2. Why would Dan lie about painting over the original in his statement? Provably he didn't. Parts of the original background are still visible from a lazy photoshop hack-job. Now if le ebil WotC are making him take the blame for something he didn't do anyway, his statement would just cop to it being the lazy photoshop hack-job it is, right? Why not? They're already burning him. If however, he's NOT being forced to take the blame for something he didn't do and instead wants to preserve some of his own reputation, then it would make sense that he would try to claim that his plagiarism isn't as bad as it seems and he actually contributed something original by painting over it.You have no answer for this, just misplaced good will for an old Magic artist.>>97996768>muh Terese>muh SebWhat you're saying is WotC cares more about politics of its artists than plagiarism. Correct.The rest of your post is schizo babble.
>>97996784>If I bury my head in the sand hard enough I win the argumentOkay, Mark.
>>97996791>debunking literally everything you said is burying your head in the sandWhat a sane and rational take. Incidentally, did you take your meds today?
>>97996784>Why would Dan lieGod ain't that the $100,000 question? The entire story is inconsistent with reality, retard. >We never saw this version of the card>Actually I lied and Dan has dementia>I painted over it>very VERY clearly didn't do that>We at WotC cherish and love Dan and everyone makes mistakes>Look at literally every other artist they've mistreated for the last two decadesYeah, this story is so consistent with reality!
>>97996798>n-nu uh>debunkYou don't know what that word means, huh champ?
>>97996517They blew their chance to make an iconic mono green villain when they decided the Eldrazi should be colorless and not green. They're exactly what a mono green villain should look like. A completely unstoppable and gigantic force of nature that devours everything in their path for a higher purpose beyond the understanding of the other colors. Ugin speculated killing Ulamog and Big K was a bad thing because they were in all likelihood critical pieces of the multiversal ecosystem that served an actual function. Mechanically look at the first batch of Eldrazi in ROE. All of them are gigantic green coded beat sticks where the floor starts at seven mana. Their support came in the form of mana dork tokens to put them out faster and lands which accelerated their arrival. You'll never guess which of the colors is most naturally likely to try to play that way.They sloppified the Eldrazi over time and made smaller ones which weren't just the drones which all but deleted their mechanically green Timmy beaters identity. But the ROE incarnation of the Eldrazi were closest we've ever gotten to true mono green villains.
>>97996809>Look at literally every other artist they've mistreated for the last two decadesSo, this really does just boil down to being angry about Terese being she was heckin' BASED.
>>97996824?????? Do you think they only mistreated fucking Nielsen? How new are you to Magic, be honest with me newfag. If you've only been playing since like 2018 (generous), I'd understand.
>>97992728>tq
>>97995647This isn't a 1 v 1 game and people who pretend they are going to focus one guy regardless of his threat to the table are usually the first ones outSeriously. Posts like this remind me of how Prof plays.
>>97996809>publisher makes PR statement before full situation is known>makes another one when he realizes the artist did fuck up>artist approached to make his own statement>lies and said he painted over it to try and preserve some artistic integrity rather than copping to lazily photoshopping>WotC could not give less of a fuck about plagiarism and only cares about the politics of their artists>makes a very middle of the road statement saying he's a very naughty boy but not pledging to cut ties with him in hopes it all blows overIf he was a no-name artist no one would give a fuck. You're a redditor who like WotC themselves cares more about this guy's relationship to the company than rationality.Again:1. WotC could have told a lie that saved everyone's asses if they were going to lie2. If WotC made Dan take the blame for something he didn't do, they would have made an admission of what the evidence shows happened- that it's a lazy photoshop. He would only lie about how he did it if he was trying to mitigate what he did.You have proven that you have no explanation for this. All you can do is say "it IS weird isn't it? therefore shizo theories are necessary to explain this mystery!!!" You start with the premise that WotC is lying and then try to rationalize that premise rather than looking at the situation and seeing that it's just a very old man likely overwhelmed with the work that would be required, taking a shortcut and hoping no one noticed, and then the company he worked for playing both sides in a PR statement because they don't know which way the wind is going to blow.
>>97996840You'll never convince me anyone's obsession with her has to do with anything but one narrow political belief she holds.
>>97996838>Bring up Seb and Teresa which also have no bearing on Dan plagiarizing anything.>Thinking me stating that Seb and Teresa aren't owed benefit of the doubt means I think Dan didn't plagiarize anything.You're a big ol' retard ain'tcha? Once again. >For all we know, this is just a polite way for WotC to terminate ever working with Dan again instead of publicly lambasting one of their longest running artists.>So at the very least wait to see of Dan ever works for WotC again before you think he's not actually on WotCs shit list like Seb and Terese are,Read it and actually absorb it this time.
>>97996824>So, this really does just boil down to being angry about Terese being she was heckin' BASED.Are you new? That has been this thread for like 6 years.No one gave a shit about her before she was LE BASED (on a single topic despite being unbased on a hundred others.) Most things people on this site like are entirely tied to political belief.
>>97996862That's exactly what it is. She's BASEDPILLED so she's good.Literally it.
Counterfeits?>Played.
>You plagiarized meYou don't own the artwork and have zero legal say in its use.
>>97994967>bracket 4 decks>not one board wipe>game ends on turn 10 with infinite comboIsn't that bracket 2 territory?
>>97996873I mean from the WotC account Marta Nael didn't know she'd been plagiarized until Dan and WotC reached out to apologize. So I can only assume your shitpost is just meant to start an argument about intellectual property rights in relation to universes beyond.
>>97996878>4 GCs in bracket 2???????????
>>97996862What political belief is that? She does politics?
>>97996884Yeah she's governor of Alabama
>Hasbro and WotC's deadlines and workloads are so miserable one of their major teams are literally trying to start a union.>Its inconceivable that an 80 year old man, who doesn't, and hasn't ever worked much with digital art cut corners and did a bad thing to meet these deadlines.>No, they paid him off to take the blame.This is as dumb on the face of it as Alex Jones honestly saying they are making frogs gay.
>>97996880What does UB have to do with shit? You don't own commissioned art WOTC purchased from you. Doesn't matter what set it is from They retain all ownership. That is how art commission works in WOTC
>>97996887Wow I didn't know that.
>>97996883Yeah being a psycho retard is worse than being an 80+ year old man who fucked up. Shocker
>>97996888>as dumb on the face of it as Alex Jones honestly saying they are making frogs gay.So you mean it's true????Alex Jones was referencing a fucking published academic article about birth control hormones re-entering the water system and causing feminizing effects in fish and other wildlife.It only sounds crazy if you have no idea of the context.
>>97996899That was literally my first reply to you, groupthink faggot.
Imagine having so much hate in your heart for a sweet old lady.
>>97996890>You don't own commissioned art WOTC purchased from you. Doesn't matter what set it is from They retain all ownership. That is how art commission works in WOTCSigh... we're gonna do it aren't we? Fine I'll do it.In non-UB art, the artist retain the rights to sell prints and the original art. That's how many of them make their money, by going to conventions and selling the art that they did for WotCWith universes beyond, because the licensors are more aggressive about their IP, artists cannot sell any of their work relating to the art they make for UB cards.Happy now? Now you have an excuse to scream and cry?>erm source?A Magic artist. Think this guy painted a version of Dockside, among other thingshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBvwSmevjzk
>>97996906I think it is funny that your entire argument hedged on the idea you and I had the same beliefs. And when that falls apart the entire argument did lmao
>>97996894>being an 80+ year old man who fucked upSo you finally admit that he did it and there's none of this bullshit "le ebil WotC made him take the blame!!!"?
>>97992728>TQA long term artist? None.Short guest artists? Lots.
>>97996913>finallyAgain. First post, retard. I don't care about this shit. WOTC should have ignored it and just informed everyone who the owner of the original art is. Them.
>>97996896"Feminizing frogs" isn't making them gay. 10% of the Frogs in the study because biological females capable of sexual reproduction. That's not being gay. That's being female.You have knowledge of the actual study and its findings yet you are still on board with Alex Jones' misunderstanding and dissemination of that information.

>>97996936Magic is a game about collecting and playing with the best in your collection.Proxying fundamentally breaks this idea, and some people don't want to play against people who don't own their cards.When people in this general talk about proxying however, they are rarely talking about using proxies. They are talking about buying counterfeits that they pass off as the real article. Which creates this paradox. Proxying is okay in EDH, and everyone does it, but we desperately want to look like we aren't doing it.

>>97996987Think? I know.
>>97996951/mtg(-UB)/ is the white man's thread. Shitposters can't set foot there because they rely so heavily on UB for their ragebait
>>97996973i wouldn't consider your brown ass human either
>>97997046>>please notice my dead threadSeething jealousy lmao
>>97997072Why are you here instead of there if its the promise land? Your smug attitude is a facade.
>>97996664dummies letting their love of dan and hatred for wizards blind their judgment. the elevated opinion to take is to not GAF about the plagiarism because dan is an 81 yo boomer whose brain is probably leaking out his ears at this point, all is forgiven grandpa
>>97997098Arena's deadlines, workload, and attempts to force them to use tools they don't want to is so bad they are trying to start a union. Can't imagine paper's deadlines and workloads are much better. I don't know if I can blame Dan not being all there, but I can believe him being a traditional oil painter more than a digital artist being asked to do digital art on a deadline caused him to send in something so half-baked and he hoped no one would notice.
>>97996856>everyone EXCEPT wotc is lyingOk Mark
>>97996973>wouldn't ever consider myself an artistWell that's just being wrong, but go off.
>>97997078I cam here to drop some shitposts :)
>>97997199Imposter syndrome or something I guess.
>>97997191It is provable that Dan didn't paint over the original work as he claimed in his statement. The lefthand edge of his version of the ring still has lava in the background.If WotC were going to make him take the blame for something he didn't do, the statement would account for the fact it's just photoshopped, because it is.If he were going to own up to something he did but understood it looks worse for him if he didn't paint anything at all, he would lie about painting over the original when he didn't.So yeah. Dan got caught plagiarizing, and wanted to mitigate just how bad the situation was.You have no counter argument, you just want to suck off an old man and cry about WotC.It's not even like you can't be mad about WotC in this situation. If you want to bitch about something, bitch about them pushing 7 sets a year and not doing the bare minimum to check that their artists are submitting original work. If they'd asked for any preliminary sketches, photos of the physical piece or versions of a digital piece with layers removed, they would have caught it.Maybe they reason you don't want to be mad about that is because it's a little too close to acknowledging that UB is causing a drop in standards at WotC and you want to keep munching your slop.
Decided to buy a ton of Knights today and some cool Harold McNeill stuffNow I gotta spend all night debating about if they might be fun in Sidar Jabari
>>97997224PFFFFFTHHHHHHHBRRRRRT plop
>>97996936There's like two guys here who constantly shitpost about it and post bait about it because it gets (You)'s. No one worth playing with cares about proxies.
>>97996963AI is evil
>>97996965>Magic is a game about collecting and playing with the best in your collection.No. This mindset is so out of date that it is wearing bellbottoms. You don't win the world champs with "the best in your collection."
>>97996982Sucks for you. My store doesn't do this because they don't want to go out of business paying 10+ guys 20 an hour to scan for proxies.
>>97997240>You don't win the world champs with "the best in your collection."They own all of those cards, so they are within their collection. Worlds is a sanctioned event. No one is playing with proxies there. Don't be dumb.
How do I know if I have too many draw spells?Currently at 17, for reference
Commanders that signal your opponent is a kid diddler?
>>97997285
>>97993701love this lil ninja
>>97993736very cool, I think the main LGS in my town is also like this (only just visited there for the first time yesterday since moving to this town) and didnt ask but seeing as there were tons of people mingling outside and every table was at capacity (and didnt stink like shit if you can believe it) I imagine they are pretty tight in with the WPN shit and dont allow Chang's reprints. ill have to keep that to myself!
>>97997285all UB
>>97994030why do these borderless cards and some of the newer sets (randomly like the SOS and jumpstart sets) have this weird matte feel. dont get me wrong I prefer matte for a lot of things but its just really unusual for a magic card
>>97994136there are no consequences or downsides to using Chinese Reprints
>>97997306>MTGO
>>97997228so true, zestie
I sit down with this as my commander. What are your immediate thoughts?
>>97994798more like 2011 but yeah
>>97997319(You)
>>97997259You goldfish/play a bunch and notice if you frequently have too many draw spells when you'd prefer to have something else
>>97997348>mfw I run 4 different etb stoppers
>>97997348Two immediate things will come to mind:>"ugh I bet he's just gonna do infinite mana bullshit to cheat out 15/15 trample dudes"or>"ugh he's gonna cast like 10 fucking ramp spells by turn 3 and no one is going to focus fire on him in response"
>>97994943Funny enough I'm already building Karona as a changelings deck. I might consider it, but slots in the deck are looking kinda tight already.
>>97997348I'm going to assume it's a Norin deck.
The one ring3Legendary ArtifactYou cannot sacrifice the one ring, and other sources you control cannot cause the one ring to leave the battlefield, or to lose control of it.If the one ring would leave the battlefield, or you would take combat damage for the first time in a turn, that source's owner gains control of the one ring and untaps it instead.Whenever you gain control of the one ring, you get a burden counter and you gain protection from everything until the end of turn. t: you get a burden counter, then lose X life and draw X cards, where X is the number of burden counters you have.
>>97997443Cool >Disenchant, Destroy Target artifact Well done, you made it weaker.
>>97997443I'm down for more Monarch/Initiative stuff. Whatever makes people do something besides sit there and do fuck all for 5 straight turns
>>97996818no you can't use green land tutoring/land ramp spam to get your eldrazi commander out super early
>>97997473Sometimes I wonder if anyone left on this site is a human with a functioning brain and not an illiterate, brainless, robot.
>>97997473I'll just cast a myojin on turn 3 then
>>97997482I love this asshole like you wouldn't believe.>mfw flash enablers >mfw doubling my already doubled stuff>mfw NINE FUCKING SOL RINGS
>thread where poopdickschizos were scared off and resigned to their containment threads was civil and on topic with generally high quality posts even if anons were arguing with each other >thread where poopdickschizos feel at home is hostile and full of off topic poltard ranting and infantile fighting with tons of low quality borderline spam postsIt feels like there's a correlation here...
>>97993460My guess would be that because it's a demon, itdoesn't matter how much it looks like a skeleton, it just osn't. I'm guessing skeletons have a specific definision, like "magically animated bones" or something, while a demon is a living creature.
>>97997458"cannot leave the battlefield" is weird language but presumably it's meant to prevent destruction, exile, bounce, and everything elseThe problem with this version is that it lets you target it with your own removal to untap it multiple times per turn, making it a more cancerous solitaire combo piece
>>97997515nevermind im stupid, the wording needs cleaning up but the controller's sources being unable to remove it from the battlefield seems like it prevents untapping it yourself
>>97993552>If it's an auto-include, that means it's mich stronger than any other card that fits in that slot, regardless of the deck>that functionally means the card is unfair>I shouldn't play unfair cardsOr>I know that whenever I see this card played early on it sways the game into an unfun state, and if I see it later it often doesn't matter>I shouldn't play unfun/useless cardsFor me I don't run fast mana like that. 2 to get 1 mana is still fine, and color fixing land is still fine. Otherwise outside of removal, I try to only include cards that synergise with my gameplan. For instance, I wouldn't run Rhystic Study in just any blue deck, but I would run it in a stax deck, or an enchantress deck. A bad example because I also run budget which makes deckbuilding more fun as well, but the point stands.
>>97997504I don't care how much you need to avoid PDS ruining the thread. I'm not leaving this thread until page 8 at the earliest. More likely page 9/10.
>>97993762It's really funny to see people saying that interest in certain hobbies isn't tied to sex, and then to see magnitudes more transwomen that actual women at mtg events.

>>97997556Why are you retards including the gay bolas link twice?
>>97997582This
>>97997593Because he's a faggot and REALLY need to force his fetish on the general.
>>97997598Shut up, nigger. You're new and trying to force your puritan autism into a place it isn't welcome. the Gay Bolas link is old as fuck around here, but the point is that the OP looks stupid when it feels like it was transcribed poorly.
>>97997600Its literally trolling and you know it retard. Kill yourself.
>>97997603>it's literally trolling>been here for YEARS>newfag shows up and tries to change the rules of the OPWhat gives you the right? I'm serious.
Bay Golas
I'm glad people are getting the venom out here but in the new thread please be positive and friendly to one another. It's the internet, nothing online is worth getting worked up over.
>>97997619>2 years is not yearsWeird>also just not even telling the truth from the getgoIt's incredible that you, in the same breath claimed that plural years is not plural AND something that's false to begin with. Go on, post proof, I'll wait.
>>97997632And you started posting in the thread around.... 3 weeks ago
>>97997653>just outright didn't read my post but was desperate to pretend he's an oldfagNice
I like how you two are arguing when the real Gay Bolas Anon stopped ritualposting after his fanfic was made canon.
Post decks and stop arguing. Sorry about the glare btw
>>97997660Because he won and he never needed to gloat. That's why his victory must be enshrined and remembered by us lesser mortals. GB was unironically the last time /edh/ and perhaps this board in general produced anything of note. One Anon willed the most retarded thing mtg could do with a character into existence just through shitposting. Newfags must be reminded.
>>97997673Not gonna bother posting a pic since it's an unaltered precon at this point but I got my Witherbloom Pestilence in the mail the other day and need to decide how to upgrade it. Excited to play it but I'm really busy with work until next week at.
>>97997679I was thinking about getting that one but decided to get a collector booster instead. got fuck all in the booster so I should've gotten the precon
>>97997677Please put on a trip, I don't want to see your posts anymore
>>97997689You first.
>>97997702Ok
>>97997719God damn it
>>97996936its sunk cost fallacy. they buy a couple cards for their deck then feel obligated to use real cards for the rest of it.THEY spent 2300 on their deck so they seethe when others spend like 60 bucks for the same thing
>>97997725Correct
>>97997660>his fanfic was made canon.
>>97998049
>>97998057woah dude nice not proof of shit
Should I build Varolz as Voltron, Aristocrats or more of a power matters every creature can be a Voltron target type thing?
>>97998065>Having sex with a dude doesn't make you gayWeird cope but okay.
>>97998069Insidious roots as your hidden commander.
>>97998149>Touching cockheads is the same as looking at someone
>>97998208>His massive cockhead>It's not a penis! Dudes just touch tips sometimes!
>>97998221It's already too late anon. The story is out there now and with WotC as the publisher it's now canon.
>>97995854I dont care, he shouldve played a different goblin commander if he didnt want to be targetted, if your deck is glass cannon then you need to be able to accept when the glass gets shattered
