>>98070483I ALMOST copped a set of Phlage last Saturday. Good thing I held off.
>oops is killI'm sad, but I don't actually play Legacy.
>>98070483>Standard continues to churn, and new decks are finding their way to success with each tournament. Given that we expect the Standard metagame to continue to change and evolve, we are electing to make no changes to the Standard banned list in this update. We will continue to monitor Standard and reevaluate its state with our next banned and restricted update on June 30Oh thank god, I was worried they weren't monitoring the format
>>98070483>0 unbans in PioneerWhy WotC? Why don't unban at least Uro? Or pic related?
>>98070616No one knows what pioneer actually is or what sets are in the format or what decks are played in it. It's forgotten knowledge. Nothing but its name remains.
I honestly don't get why they even bothered with those half-assed Modern bans. It's like giving cough syrup to someone with Stage IV lung cancer. Who the fuck still plays Modern anyway?
>>98070530Think about how I feel
Embrace tradition.Come back to Premodern, /tg/.Come back home...
Is leveling lost technology?
>>98070483tq>standardI don't take standard seriously so whatever>pioneeractually quite happy with this, CSC was the only card I was missing to play a lot of pioneer decks: phoenix, hammertime, artifact aggro in general, I held off on getting a playset specifically because I knew there was a chance it could get banned, glad it payed off>modernphlage getting banned is a bit sad but I completely understand it, arena of glory + phlage was an insane thing to have in the format, it would be funny if people started playing kroxa + arena but I doubt it will achieve even 1/100th of phlage's powerlotus dying for amulets sins is surprising, but as someone who play amulet from time to time I would much rather go back to valakut + dryad builds, it takes less game actions to win the gameunbanning VO is playing with fire, rhinos is a deck again, living end gets supercharged, but both are things I'm happy with since I own the cardsjitte will do nothing, and I mean literally nothing, I'm not even sure SFM players want it in 2026, it's so damn slow>legacythis does not do what they want it to do, people will increase the artifact count of the deck and run beseech the mirror maindeck to find balustrade spy, if anything the deck will focus even more on speed rather than resilience, which will still be frustrating to people to play against it>vintagereally wish they unrestricted mentor and narset, they're completely safe in a world where lurrus never gets banned, but I guess it's gonna take a while>paupergenuinely forgot this card was on the banlist, I just assumed it was way too slow for the current meta, honestly doubt it will impact the meta meaningfully compared to when it was at its peakoverall 6/10 b&r, I'm excited to try some stuff in pioneer and modern, which is something I could not imagine me saying after the last 2 announcements of no changes
Marvel leaks when
Damn bratty sprites
Twiddlestorm must be avenged
>>98070685Leveling has too much interaction.Figure of Destiny approach may be more verbose but also more simple.
>>98070685Levelling gets uber gimped by being sorcery speed. Too much commitment. It was bad in the days of ROE standard, its still bad now. At the very least with the figure of destiny type of ability set, you can do it at instant speed.
>>98070483>TQJitte is nice but its probably too late for it to be meaningful i mean what decks even want it in modern anymore?Violent Outburst also seems like a mistake in a world with force of negation dont really care about the rest
RIP our boy twiddlestorm
>>98070530Good, Oops has been gay ever since they printed so many dual face lands you can run similar land counts as Delver in your "all spells" deck
Do you guys think Thalia would be racist or accept racism? I feel like she would defend her own people first and understand xenophobia. I mean she would take any human over the undead, but so would I. I just keep thinking about Thalia would make a better wife than any of the white liberal women I've dated. Or even the nonwhite liberal women. I don't think Thalia would marry a nonwhite. I think she would keep her lineage pure. She's so brave and beautiful. I really wish I could be good enough for her.
>>98070736PLEASURING HER with the tip of my pinky finger! We need a whole set of hot MagIc anime BABES. NO regular artwork.
>>98070870Thalia was raped by The Gitrog Monster. She has been sullied.
>>98070870Thalia worships black cocks because she is so devoted to humans and blacks (and by extension black cocks) are the original and purest humans
Jitte should have been unbanned a long time ago, it's not going to do anything. Reminds me of the Jace Mind Sculptor unban that came years too late
>>98070870VOW thalia is probably the worst one. But only by comparison.
To the guys talking about Sultai lore last thread, did Tasigur ever come back? I have fond memories of playing bananaman in practically every format before a 1 mana 4/5 with upside somehow got powercrept
>>98071013No, I think the last anyone heard from him he was still a pendant for Silumgar.
>>98071013I hate Murktide so much
>>98071045*makes homosexual noises in your direction*
Least exuberant sibsig of the Sultai
>>98071095The Sultai used to dress like Lo Pan what happened
>>98071143Their former boss was the biggest richfag in the history of their plane and with him gone they decided to start converting a bit of the dragon hoard into jewelry.
i hate commander so much it's fucking unreal
>>98071180
>>98071180>commander precon cardlame
>>98071180>boldly going>just sitting
we are so fucking back brothers
>>98070530Oops has a neat gimmick from a deckbuilding perspective but that's the extent of it. It is not at all an enjoyable deck to play, either with or against it. Rest assured that every Legacy player is glad its gone, even its own players.
>>98071180That sure is "Default Starfleet Captain" design. Which, fair enough for Kirk to have that going, but it doesn't feel specifically Kirk.
>>98071180Goes great in my Spacecraft and basic lands/Starship Enterprise™ deck!
>>98070909>>98070923Go fuck yourself
>>98071013I saw him in legacy a few times back in the day, looking silly as he was getting bounced by karakas.
>>98071180i'm guessing that kirk was spared a race swap due to shatner's tribal affiliations.
>>98071864They probably just had more interest in using the likenesses of the actors for more money than anything else, unlike say, Marvel, they/Paramount seems to have the rights for it. We'll know when we see Picard and Riker. But honestly Trek has enough black characters they probably didn't need to bother. Geordi, Sisko, Worf etc.
>>98071180>whenever X enters or attacks....I'm soooooooooooo tired of every creature just being designed from the ground up as value slop. Can't wait for 2028 where every creature has a trigger on enter, attack, block and destroyed! I freakin' love triggers!
>>98071180I am grateful he is depicted as white.
>>98071922Why wouldn't he be? Shatner is white. There's no other Kirk.
>>98071180>Kirk>not part redEh?
>>98071897>But honestly Trek has enough black characters they probably didn't need to botherIt's clear Star Trek command had DEI/affirmative action policies. For human nigs but also for example with Nog. He was literally a juvenile delinquent but was allowed to join so he could be the first ferengi in Star Fleet. They did some nonsense stuff to make it seem like he earned it. But we all know they fast tracked him for DEI reasons.It was very on the nose to call him literally>Nog
>>98071930>Tolkien specifically described Aragon as white
>>98071913I look forward to the new keyword that is a mix of miracle, dash, and forecast coming soon to MH4!
>>98071843Thalia happily gets blacked. Just imagine that massive dark black cock splitting her pink pussy while she loves it.
>>98071955Not the same. If LOTR books never existed, only the movie, then it would be comparable.Star Trek TOS existed first.
>>98071922>>98071864You people really do make this fucking attempt at a joke every time don't you.
>>98071969I love arbitrary rules where if it's a book first you can make anyone any race and appearance with no limits, but it's a tv show you magically have to be loyal to it's depiction. That doesn't sound retarded at all!
>>98071934Main set Kirk'll probably be red. This is more Kirk as Federation representative, probably.
>>98071975It depends on the IP. Some IPs are more "each adaptation does its own thing" like TMNT. Some are more specifically adapting existing things with a very defined visual. LOTR as a set was not adapting the movies. It was an adaptation of the books, and doing its own thing therein.
>Celestial Reunion in an allies deckSweet Jesus I've never completed my dailies this fast even back when Tibalt's Trickery was unbanned.
>>98071981>It was adaptation of the booksYes, and I've said in the books, Tolkien described him in a very specific way, including being white-skinned. Or do we just ignore that fact?
>>98071987His descriptions in the book aren't TOO overt admittedly. But yes, book adaptations do tend to be more freeform unless a character's appearance is particularly relevant. Aragorn being white isn't as relevant as him being human.
>>98071975It's not arbitrary.Shatner is THE Kirk. Morgernstern is AN Aragorn.Aragorn in the animated movie was native american.I don't give a fuck about black Aragorn, but it's not the same situation.
What was the rationale they gave for not banning anything in standard?
>>98072138Something something meta's too volatile to really pick a clear 'problem card' out. Cub is clearly strong but it's not pushing other decks out, stuff like that.
>>98072138They have only DEI hires who can’t balance for shit.
>star trek leak>reality fracture leak>not a pip on marvelWtf is going on
>>98072138They don't want to ban Cub and let the meta become 100% Izzet but they don't realize that Stormchaser's Talent is a very obvious Izzet hit except THAT would open the way for Izzet lessons and they don't want to hit another UB card after Vivi.
>>98072207I’ve seen a few. But does anyone care about modern woke marvel? It’s going to be shit.
>>98072207Could just be tighter restrictions on marvel stuff.
>>98071934Yeah but this is the commander precon Kirk. I'm expecting main set Kirk to be Boros
>>98072138they would have to ban like 50% of the cards to actually do anything meaningful and thats bad for selling packs
>>98072207There was a leaked booster a few weeks ago
>>98072239>they would have to ban like 50% of the cards to actually do anything meaningful and thats bad for letting White exist
>>98071955The true native english were black. White people only steal and lie about history.
Any Pauperchads doing anything with the Bonders unbanSeems like a pretty shit card
>>98072429I feel like paying 4 to draw a card could be a default game mechanic that’s how bad it sounds. I feel like 3 mana rocks aren’t real cards.
man Titan is my only modern deck and it got so much more convoluted and weaker
>>98071997Can't wait until the Elric secret lair where they make him vantablack
>>98072489Cut Lotus Field, Aftermath Analyst and Scapeshift, add Dryad and Valakut. Max out Summoners Pact. Add back Slayers Stronghold and Sunhome
>>98071013>1 mana 4/5 with upside somehow got powercreptHe was already power crept in fate reforged by a non-legendary 1 mana 5/5 that actually killed goyf in combat
Soon
>>98072731Medvedev's tier list is more interesting being based on actual challenge results. It's worth noting that Violent Outburst's success here is tied to Grief being available in Living End rather than rhinos.
>>98072739Depths is a deck in no ban list modern, Shoal decks too. Dread Return would make Spy a thing which is cancer combo, Hogaak KCI Sunrise Tybalt Hypergenesis are all degen combos. Glimpse is a degen combo too but it’s Elves. Dig is a cool unban.
>>98072739Lurrus paws typed this post
>>98071180*audible groan*
>>98070530oops died the moment wotc started printing the spell/land cards.
>>98071625I enjoy(ed) playing it and am unhappy it's gone.
>>98072879This. The deck lost its soul then
