Embrace tradition.Come back to Premodern, /tg/.Come back home...
>>98052383Isn't there another thread you can infest?
>>98052383I just ordered a white weenie deckI'm coming home /mtg/....
>>98052365>tqPatchy
>>98052474
>>98052398brazil has always been a weird country for vidya, TTG and TCG's.They're the only large country that speaks portugeuse and I often see that they have to pirate and bootleg their own rules or miniatures to play a game. Usually cause companies don't want to invest.
>>98052383why was this card canceled again?Were the crusades too ofensive or was is the "all white" part?
>>98052474Hows the transition going
>>98052383I went 4-0 with RG Goblins in the monthly Premodern tournament tonight. I came back home, indeed...
>>98052365>TQQuintorius. I like elephants and I like his archeologist/historian gimmick. Plus I'm interested in his studies of the Fomori.
I don't get it, how are cards this chronologically close allowed to be strictly better than others
>>98052806If I were to play devil's advocate and try to come up with a plausible answer for you, my guess would be that it's to account for the limited balance of the set it's in. Maybe the one on the right is meant to be a very desirable rare removal option, one of black's best picks, and the one on the left is just meant to be chaff. Also I'd point out that one's common, one's uncommon, and one's rare, so it's to be expected that the rare is the best of the three.but nah fuck jotc desu nosewater should hang either way
>>98052816>one is rareAh fug I really really thought right was uncommonThen it makes sense I guess
>>98052383>Look into pre-modern>Still uses modern FIRE rules>Damage not on the stack
>>98052365>TQNew character? None.
>>98052960Why isn't she BG?
Retürn tø Käldheim
>>98052365Reality Fracture would be the perfect opportunity to give us glimpses into the Mirrodin Pure timeline.So WotC will obviously not do it in favour of "nostalgia" for a Covid era set
>>98052988Come to think of it gods as a tribe are surprisingly cheap. I mean in total, not just the KHM ones. Over half of them cost 4 or less. Contrast angels, demons, dragons, giants and more, the majority of their cards cost 5 or more. But of course that has to be weighted against rarity.
>>98052988Where is my Sun Titan?
>>98053205It was rather rude of them to give Kroxa and Uro the treatment while omitting Phlage.
>>98053205>is called primeval>isn't elder typeFudged up
>>98052566Does this answer your question?
>>98053230phlage didn't exist at the time
>>98053430Well shit you're right. I'd assumed it debuted in THB alongside the other two.
>>98052365>TQBring back my boy, Blech just loafs around for 3 of the 5 creature types.
>>98052573I am finally clear of slop in my blood, mahjong is fun!
>>98052816why not reprint at that point?
>>98052806Mob and Vote Out are comparable with Mob probably being a bit better because it's an Instant.Mob is over half a decade older than Vote Out and Pile On.Pile On is actually older than Vote Out as well which makes the image slightly misleading in my opinion.As pointed out, Pile On is rare which makes it a Murder vs Hero's Downfall situation (2012 vs 2013).For a real egregious look at strictly better, look at Level Up vs Seismic Tutelage
>>98052806What I'd like to know is what dope decided that convoke was to be in every color. It made perfect sense that it was only in green and white.
>>98053997It makes perfect sense for blue, and if it makes sense for blue then it also makes sense for black, and it'd be unfair if only red was left without, so better give it to everybody.
Trying to get into Magic with Forge. There sure are a lot of rule formats.
>>98054016>It makes perfect sense for blueI guess anything does as long as maro is in charge.
>>98053089The first few cycles of gods were often not usable as creatures outside of certain conditions. This includes both the Theros and Amonkhet gods (as well as the THB ones). JotC seemed to decide to pivot gods to just be resilient with either indestructible or another form of recursion (HoD gods, Ixalan gods, God Eternals, etc...) but those ones now have higher CMCs that are more appropriate for the creature type.Kaldheim gods are anomalies presumably because of how the Norse pantheon was viewed.
>>98054208Kaldheim's are meant to evoke the gods as they were in the myths, which was mostly just "extremely powerful immortals" and not "literally creator gods". Like, the creator in Norse myth is Ymir, functionally, not Odin or anything. Greek myth has a similar thing but they're a lot more "above the mortals" in a sense.
>>98053997Back in the day WotC limited the number of mechanics a given set can use instea of throwing 1000 keywords into a standard legal product, so one day they decided to make a Core Set with convoke as the 1 featured mechanic
>>98053230>PhlageWhat kind of idiot came up with this name? I'm certain it never got confused with Phage.
>>98053089Kaldheim gods are kinda weak. I mean Vorinclex didn't so much stomp Esika as just casually stroll over her, and she nearly died from it. You couldn't really see the same happen to anyone from Theros or Amonkhet.
>>98053997White is the Gaza of Magic. Eventually JOTC blue settlers are going to take everything from White.
Japanese small tournament has invented the new deck tech for standard stormIt wins on the spot, can be turn 4 with ramp piece, otherwise clears way with duress and removal t5 kill, immune to creature removal unlike storm splitter comboit goes:>Tap cursed recording>Cast beseech the mirror, sacrificing recording - storm 1>{now have 2x bargained beseech on stack}>1st beseech gets recording>tap recording>2nd beseech gets another beseech, sacrificing recording - storm 2>{now have 2x bargained beseech on stack again}>1st beseech gets Fix What's Broken, X=4, getting back 2x cursed recordings - storm 3>tap both recordings>2nd beseech gets another beseech - storm 4>{now have 3x copies of bargained beseech}>1st beseech gets Vile Entomber, putting Thousand Year Storm into the graveyard>2nd beseech gets reenact the crime on Thousand Year Storm (!!!) - storm 5>3rd beseech gets beseech sacrificing recording. Or reenact the crime on beseech and everything else at the same time. - storm 6+You now get 6+ copies of bargained beseech, each spell you cast triggering thousand year storm so even if all you cast with the first two was burst lightning you'll get 13 copies, but other spells like tweeze do itOverall you start this combo with:>5+ life, cursed recording on board and beseech in hand and 4 lands
>>98052439BASED.
>>98052854>he's still playing with the nufag stack rules
>>98053205White is being phased out of MTG so no White Titan. Also the weakest Titan too. JotC never prints good white cards.
wow most all of the secret lairs still aviable, they really did crash the Merry go round, i wonder how will Maro cope saying there is no product issue
>>98054717They'll just print less and say that they sold out.
>muh Terese Nielsen>muh Scott M.

>>98054795If you hid the mana cost and didn't understand japanese, would you be able to identify what card this is?
>>98053089That's because the had weaknesses preventing them from attacking that usually decreases mana costs.
>>98053852He's dead
>>98054814Based on the text i'd say:Keyword 1, Do keyword action (1 reminder text 1) and something.1 something something. Restriction.
>>98054848I was more pointing out how the art doesn't fit the card and thus it's not actually good art for it, but you'd be incorrect anyway since japanese cards have fucking weird formatting. There's no keywords or reminder text in the english version.
>>98054875The art looks like some kind of counterspell.
>>98054513>AmonKEK pantheon DESTROYED by Bolas>TheREKT pantheon DESTROYED by Phyrexia>CHADheim pantheon UNDEFEAT and UNCOMPLEATEDThe sissy pantheons of warmer planes will boast of strength and then get fucking buttannihilated by the first extraplanar conqueror who looks at them funny. Praise Alrund.

>>98054530This sounds sick, do you have a link to where you found the decklist?
>>98055493https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-sFTGESq24suboptimal version was there, they improved on itdina's guidance for prismari -> reenact the crime -> storm vsvile entomber for thousand year -> reenact the crime -> storm No vulnerability to creature removal.The propulsion is 4x beseech / 4x recording / 2x reenact / 2x fix what's broken, as a good measure of redundancy.The payload is 2x entomber / 2x thousand year, and you win off your burst lightnings that are removal.A good question is, if you can cast 3-4x bargained beseech the mirrors, is there any more compact / resilient win condition? Both cases can lose to a Get Lost, though you can also chain 3x recordings before fix whats broken, then you'll have 4x beseechs on the stack, use the first to get duress and get rid of their get lost, next 3 can set up the storm comboYou could have a deterministic combo like entomb omniscience, reenact it, then use last tutor to just get a north wind avatar. But that's actually MORE pieces, and still dies to instant enchantment removal (but north wind -> north wind -> marang is really hard for anyone to stop)
Fact is that green is the most honest color of all.
Facts. I think the white schizo is retarded, but I hate black with passion.
Why is this general so dead?
>>98055732Because we don't play EDH.
>>98055732there was a split recently
>>98055732For some reason there are like four or five general threads up for MTG at any given time.
>>98055709Same. I hate that black is overcharged for every little thing. The effects should be way more powerful considering the hefty price tags.

>>98056533A format is gay if you have to go on the Internet and order cards for it.
why didnt wotc ever make an actual “standards greatest hits” format thats modern borders but your entire deck list has to have actually been simultaneously standard legal
>>98056436
Premutt formatNo cards from UBNo cards with non-white races in artworkNo cards featuring LGBT60 cards 4 copies max
>>98056675>Channel Fireball>Affinity
>>98056695Channel fireball were never type II legal
>>98056695there can still be bans, its just weird that the early excitement about modern/pioneer (lol excitement for pioneer) was the prospect of it being “standards greatest hits” but the rules of the format dont actually protect that idea in any wayinstead of standards best decks its standards best individual cards
>>98056446You just made me realize the one UB I would get into. They should get Topps on the phone and do Mars Attacks. And make the whole set a long storyline just like the old Mars Attacks cards
>>98056694>No cards from UB>No cards with non-white races in artworkSo literally just base set since Arabian Nights immediately put the kibosh on those?
>>98056705> (lol excitement for pioneer)
pioneer horizons will save pioneer
I play Pioneer exclusively on Arena.
>>98056715We already had an ayy lmao setIt was such an effective alien encounter set that it made us all forget it existed except the one thing its remembered for, a land cycle that taps kona

ded gaemded threadgg, dotards.
>>98055732I blame universes buyond
>>98056782>jotc anal raping the format will save the format!
all of these sets just kinda blend together now
>>98057738No blocks does that to you. There is no separation anymore.Additionally spoiler season for set 2 happens during releas of set 1
>>98056705>instead of standards best decks its standards best individual cardsCards usually don't change their use much when they swap formats.Snapcaster was a control/tempo card in standard and was played in control/tempo on Modern.Siege Rhino was a GBx value creature and ended up as a GBx value creature.Baterskull got cheated out of Stoneforge in Standard and Legacy
>>98054661Based batches enjoyer.
>>98054821Slap Zombie into his creature type, give him Eirdu's ability (Persist for other creatures) but limited only to Pests, Bats, Insects, Snakes and Spiders and a way to remove -1/-1 from creatures.
>>98056825you forgot about the creature that puts exponential +1/+1 counters on the whole board
>>98054970>Theros Gods bullied by Phyrexia.>Amonkhet Gods bullied by Gay Bolas.So... Kaldheim will get the Eldrazi treatment?
>>98056546you forgot Alchemy
>>98057738This is the bigger problem right now, yes it is tied to UB but the sheer pace of releases just smothers everything. Seven this year, six next year..."this product is not for you" has turned into nothing being for anyone. Maro announcing that they are carefully making sure to destroy extra product so artificial scarcity exists while at the same time printing everything into the ground anyway (including actual "limited" stuff like the codex bundle) just makes the entire experience bad from all angles. My LGS went from having absolutely no Strixhaven cards for weeks to suddenly having more than they could possibly ever sell. Singles prices were sky high, now they can't move the ones they finally got at all - not to mention they are still sitting on a mountain of unsold TMNT and Spider-Man that absolutely no one will ever buy already. The entire model isn't sustainable.
>>98057906A bit late for that.
>>98057906Eldrazi was Inistrad angels/church.Koldheim will be genocided by Jace
>>98057895Dont need to bother with removing the counters, just let him still add +1/+1s to reset them by at a slightly harder to achieve rate so it isn't perpetual.
Return to Rabiah
Legendary used to mean something.
>>98057906Maybe they'll get MOTHED, who knows.
>>98057898>>98056825Quantum Riddler and Icetill explorer. But yeah, Ouroboroid is a ridiculous card.
Standard is the worst format. Just endless nonwhite value slop piles.
>>98056825>filenameUntil you remember that it got errata'd on release
>>98058549Kind of crazy that they suddenly forgot how to template an effect they've been using for years.
>>98058393Honestly? Yeah sure!They could actually give it more identity than just Arabian Nights with some funny twist. They could even address what happened with Taysir's soul because he got kind of sidelined and forgotten in the entire Phyrexian war bs.>Szadek (I think that was his name?) went retarded betrayal mode and killed Taysir.>Lord Windgrace in fear of Taysir's heart being used for evul necromancy bs did a ritual of implanting it into his own chest, meaning that Taysir was inside a black furry guy.>Lord Windgrace died and was buried in Urborg>Taysir's soul went... ? I assume that it was probably explained in some side material but who knows.
>>98058701Bleh, Szadek is the guy from Ravnica. I meant Tevesh Szat,Fuck these names.
>>98058511Standard is a combo man's formatIt belongs to the johnnies
>>98058744You mean Zhaved Khalesh from Rominad?or do you mean Dekhav Tevazs from Nadivac?
>>98058482icetill explorer aka mr. fabled passage = infinite landfall
How come there's a "snow" supertype but not like "ocean" or "fire" or something?
>>98058915Great point, deserts should have been just been "Basic Arid Land".

anyone excited for monday? I can barely contain myself, the antecipation of reading "no changes" is crazy
>>98059292FREE HIM
>>98058973Phyrexia
>>98059445I kinda prefer the nims of Mirrodin/New Phyrexia.
>>98059292I genuinely have no idea how Badgermole Cub dodged a ban. That design is so fucking braindead it's unfathomable. It's like they refused to ban Kaito and just decided "we need a 2-drop that's this braindead"
Primeval Titan will be LIBERATED
>>98059482They can't ban Badgermole because then the entire game would be LITERALLY Izzet.
>>98059491Well whose fault is that, genius? Maybe powercreeping the shit out of red aggro while printing fuckall removal wasn't a good idea? Maybe a 1-drop that makes another body and requires both be answered wasn't good design?
>>98059502You'll find no arguments from me, but WotC doesn't do bans of more than 2-3 cards at a time, and they'd need to ban several to stop Izzet from shitting up the place. The truth of the matter is that the format is too fast, they'd have to ban like 12 cards to stop it from being a turn 4 format, and if they did that, they printed so many fucking control tools Jeskai would just sweep everything. It's completely fucked and 3 year standard should have never been a thing, but the damage is done and frankly irreparable.
