If you could reprint one card to the ground without having to worry about Standard legality or the reserved list, which would it be and why?

>>98139316
Sol ring. It shouldn't be above 20 cents, it's basically a basic land at this point in edh.

it already is dirt cheap from being reprinted to the ground, and it's a shit stupid card that shouldn't be included in edh or any other format

My Kids really like MTG. I have a handful of older decks that they fiddle around with, but I'd like to have some more disposable ones worth less money they can play on.

I'll take a board game recommendation if you have it too though.

1. I went on MCM just now and there were dozens of copies for sale for 50 cents or less and
2. even if there weren't, complaining about a fucking ONE DOLLAR card that you need one copy of, that comes in every single motherfucking EDH precon ever, is absolutely peak retarded. Complain about cards that cost something. A dollar is practically free.

It is strong, but strength doesn't matter when it comes being reprinted or not(e.g. Mana Crypt). If anything, it being strong is more of a reason to reprint it since people will want it but don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for it

This reminds me of a thought experiment I had about 7 years ago where I wondered what, if any, card could be the “universal unit of account” for the values of other cards, sort of a way of pegging the values of other cards to a basic unit. I suppose to commander players it would be sol ring, but I always thought it should be lightning bolt if such a thing were possible.

The Elspeth comics that are very slowly coming out from Dark Horse. They're also doing a Jace comic that only has one issue out. So far I don't care much for the Jace comic, the Elspeth one is neat but you can tell they're condensing a bit too much story into comic form.

Ongoing Elspeth comic. Basically adapts her arc from Theros Beyond Death which was never actually published with the set release. Doesn't actually have much page space spent on characterizing Calix, but as you probably know there's basically nothing else out there.
>>
>>98139885
It's significantly worse than Academy but probably a little better than Serra's Sanctum (though historically it has been much better).
Academy is better because:
>Makes U and not G
This is a big one given how the best spells in the game are black but the second best are blue.
>Artifacts are harder to remove than Creatures
Cradle becomes useless after a boardwipe which is usually helpful for the average control gameplan anyway. Mass artifact removal is much less common in main decks and even in sideboards.
>There are far more 0 cost artifacts than 0 cost creatures
You can get a retarded amount of mana turn 1 in Vintage with a couple of mox and an academy. Cradle is slower.

Both cards are nice because they also encourage cheap permanents that ALSO ramp (BoP/Elves vs Moxen and cheap mana rocks). Sanctum has hard to remove permanents but there are fewer powerful 1drops that let you storm out a bunch of enchantments turn 1.

Elspeth is a nice girl, and also anime.
>>
>>98141314
>the best spells in the game are black but the second best are blue
I never thought about this, but if I had to pick I would almost always want unlimited U mana simply because of extra turn fuckery + control options + insane filtering/card selection + card draw with no drawbacks
But I guess B has more ways to straight up kill the other player, and better tutors as well
I would guess R is a solid second/third place while G is a clear cut last place?
>>

I really like Scars of Mirrodin. Was that a good set in your anonymous opinion?
>>
>>98141398
not him but Scars block was cool, I remember going to prerelease of besieged and I think it was the first "Faction" prerelease: you would choose either Mirran or Phyrexian and get a few boosters from that faction instead of some of the normal boosters.

The problem is that they're using existing comic book artwork that naturally wanted to use lots of red since that's his signature color, which obviously clashes with Magic: The Gathering for some reason deciding to make him fucking green.

That's the Julia Carpenter Spider-Woman aka Arachne, not Spider-Girl. She was an Avenger once upon a time so I guess that's why she's here.
Giant-Man is probably fighting some weird form of Ultron from some obscure comic or something. Keep in mind that he created Ultron in the comics, not Tony Stark.

'Warrior' almost always implies weapons, armor, and militaristic training. 'Monk' is the established archetype for unarmed fighters, martial artists, and characters who channel chi. The term Monk was used in D&D originally as a nod to Shaolin Monks, aka, kung fu men.

Thematically, Shang-Chi fits the Monk archetype more so than Warrior. First, he hasn't fought in any fucking wars. He isn't a soldier or a mercenary. He was raised in an isolated, ascetic environment, mastering his chi and focusing on internal discipline and kung fu mastery.

If a character fights with flying kicks, martial arts stances, and chi rather than a broadsword and shield, they should be typed as a Monk.

This was also a gripe I had about the street fighter cards, but Ryu was the "world warrior" so he had to be a fucking warrior because fuck this game.

It's clear that for UB characters, they'd rather use Warrior for martial artists instead of Monk. The only exception is Final Fantasy because that one also uses the term Monk for martial artists since it's also indirectly inspired by DnD.

Same with Shang Chi, I don't think he's got a big buddhism thing going on does he?
Monk is a word with meaning. That meaning isnt "unarmed fighter", it's a member of a religious order. D&D monks fit this niche. You couldn't just make Katara a cleric just because she heals people

Yea, Katara isn't a cleric, I won't argue that actions dictate class. Power source dictates class. Katara's power source is elemental rather than divine, so cleric doesn't make sense. A Warrior's power source is martial training and weaponry. Shang-Chi and Ryu's power source is spiritual discipline and internal energy. That makes them Monks. Wandering the earth in a gi, rejecting material wealth, meditating, and seeking total spiritual and physical perfection is the textbook definition of an ascetic monk.

Is your argument that all martial artists, (despite their philosophical focus) must have some kind of deity they worship to be a Monk?

You have the game being desperate for new slop eating pigs and some company giving you license to use their IPs to lure in new piggers.
You'd take that deal even if it would underperform because you're not really losing much in terms of money and neither is the IP holder.
Even if a box is sold at $100, wotc still makes around $50+ on profit before all other expenses since the production of a single box might come out around $20ish while producing in huge bulks.
And in the end, who is taking the fall? The game stores trying to sell it, not wotc.

>Martial artists are warriors
This is a real life distinction made hundreds of years ago. It's the difference between Jutsu and Do.

Jutsu (Science/Technique): This is the Warrior's path. Kenjutsu (sword technique) or original Jujutsu (yielding technique) were developed strictly for the battlefield. The only goal was to disarm, maim, or kill an armored samurai as efficiently as possible. There were no rules, no honor codes, just survival.

Do (The Way/Path): This is the Martial Artist (Monk's) path. When times of war ended, these deadly techniques evolved into Budo (the martial way). Kenjutsu became Kendo; Jujutsu gave birth to Judo (and eventually BJJ); Karate-jutsu became Karate-do.

The suffix -do fundamentally changes the objective. The goal shifts from killing an opponent to conquering yourself. A martial artist practicing a -do art isn't just doing reps to be a lethal weapon; they are pursuing Zen-like aesthetic perfection and seeking the "ultimate truth" of their own physical and mental limits.

This is why Shang-Chi or Ryu are Monks. They aren't soldiers looking for the most efficient way to kill (otherwise they'd just carry assault rifles). They are martial artists participating in "Budo", using their bodies and internal chi to achieve a higher state of existence.

Yes it is? In earlier editions you have to beat up higher level monks in your order to advance. Most MtG monks have their religious order directly stated on the card, or have an order you can easily guess by context (Jeskai, for example).

I do wonder if Iron Fist will be a Monk then. He feels closer, but then again Danny is explicitly not a very good pick for the mystical aspects, he's just a good fighter.

>>
>>98145335
You are abandoning the context of fantasy and gaming to hide behind the dictionary. If we apply your strict historical logic to the rest of the genre, the entire system collapses.

Paladin: Historically, this exclusively meant one of the twelve peers of Charlemagne's 8th-century court. So by your logic, unless a character serves an ancient Frankish king, they aren't a Paladin.

Barbarian: The literal definition is just anyone who isn't Greek or Roman.

Ranger: A groundskeeper for a park or forest.

When a player says, 'I'm playing the Tank,' do you reply, 'No, a tank is a heavily armored combat vehicle with continuous tracks and a cannon. A human being cannot be a tank'?

'Monk' in fantasy, RPGs, and card games is an established mechanical archetype, not a religious tax bracket. It groups unarmed, unarmored martial artists who rely on chi, ki, or prowess into a single category. You can cling to the European, real-world definition of the word, but it doesn't change 50 years of established pop-culture taxonomy.
>>
>>98145421
>that are passed down only to members of a certain group
Like, a monastic order? You're just digging your own grave here. People keep posting further evidence that the monk type should imply one is a monk and not simply an unarmed martial artist.
It also brings into question monks who very much do use a weapon. Many monk cards are not unarmed fighters, so should they not have the monk type?

>>Some monks learn their skills from a single master or in a small dojo...

>Because wizards is shit and puts so little thought into creature typing.
they never really gave a fuck, and they're certainly not going to start now. just broadly top-down creature typing is a modern concept. for half of mtgs life they just slapped types on shit with zero thought, and there were tons of creatures that were the only creature in their type. those all eventually got retconned into larger groups, but creature types have always always felt like an afterthought because that's exactly what they are.

Sometimes they're not monastic orders, but loose groups of like-minded individuals who share the same way of fighting: I guess Witchers would be an apt comparison?

So what is a monk, if it isn't an unarmed, unarmored martial artist?
>>
>>98145493
The Monk archetype has never meant 'strictly unarmed', it means using martial arts weaponry (staves, spears, kamas, nunchaku) rather than heavy military gear (broadswords, plate armor, halberds).

Look at Monastery Swiftspear. She is holding a giant spear, but she is typed as a Monk, not a Warrior or a Soldier. Why? Because of how she fights. In MTG, Soldiers and Warriors rely on external equipment and passive military formations (Auras, Equipment, anthem effects). Monks are defined by internal focus, speed, and chi/energy woven into physical combat.

D&D has the exact same distinction. There is a literal mechanical category called 'Monk Weapons' (shortswords, simple weapons, staves). A character holding a bo staff who relies on speed, ki, and discipline is a Monk. A character holding a greatsword who relies on heavy armor and brute force is a Warrior. It’s about the philosophy and style of combat, not an absolute ban on holding a stick.

>>
>>98145520
>broadswords, halberds

>Why? Because of how she fights.
Monastery Swiftspear is actually a member of a monastic order. She's typed as a monk because she's part of a monastic order.
>Monks are defined by internal focus, speed, and chi/energy woven into physical combat.
A lot of MtG monks are actually just monks. Show me how Avacynian Pilgrim relies on Ki, or speed, or whatever. Hell, how does Doran?
>>
>>98145515
In fantasy and gaming, a Monk is a combatant whose power comes from internal discipline, speed, and spiritual energy (chi/ki/mana) rather than external hardware or military training.

The easiest way to look at it is how games mechanically separate them:
Warriors and Soldiers rely on the external. They use heavy armor, broadswords, shields, and military formations. In MTG, Warriors and Soldiers synergize with equipments, army-wide anthems, or mobilize/strength in numbers. In D&D, they use Action Surge and heavy armor proficiency. Their solution to a problem is superior hardware and brute force.
Monks rely on the internal. They might fight barehanded, or they might use lightweight martial arts weapons (like a staff or spear), but their defense comes from agility, and their offense comes from weaving energy into their strikes. In D&D, they use Ki points to dodge or strike multiple times.

A Warrior upgrades their armor. A Monk upgrades themselves. If a character fights by entering a meditative stance, channeling internal energy, and relying on speed rather than a wall of steel, they are a Monk. It has nothing to do with whether they live in a church.

The question of how western monks fit into this is an unrelated red herring to the discussion of Warrior v. Monk.

Warlord/Warrior. As for your points:

1. 'Fights with fists'
He doesn't use martial arts technique, agility, or chi. He relies on raw, overwhelming genetic Titan strength and brute force. In gaming terms, that’s a Barbarian or a Brawler, not a Monk.

2. 'Has zeal and discipline'
Having a goal doesn't make you a Monk. A ruthless CEO has 'focus and discipline.' Thanos isn't seeking self-mastery; he's a megalomaniac trying to enforce resource management on the universe by commanding a massive, militarized army.

3. 'His armor is lightwear'

Martial artist is way too broad to be a type. It includes knights, samurai, ninjas, warriors, mercenaries and more. It would be way too broadly applied as a type.

Nta, but buddhism has a supernatural cosmology (unless you're zen, which some argue isn't buddhism anyway). Jeskai way is more a philosophy than a religion. That would make this guy a monk.

>>98145775
It's only a 1/1, what's the big idea?

Magic the gathering has a supernatural cosmology. Jeskai monks do fucking magic, and know about the actual supernatural cosmology of magic.

They were thinking "How do we represent superspeed in a way we haven't already". Samut had it just by having all the 'speed' keywords. Sonic just had haste but cared about haste. Quicksilver takes the Turbo Slug approach. Or more like Leyline, I guess, but Turbo Slug is funnier.

Sokrates isn't a monk because he's not a part of a monastic order, unlike the jeskai who are explicitly a monastic order. They live in isolated monasteries.

Warrior applies to intelligent beings who regularly engage in conflict that don't fit into another type

>Jeskai way is more a philosophy than a religion.
The Jeskai believe that they alone understand the true nature of reality. As taught by Ugin, they speak of six fires that light the way to Enlightenment. These are the white soulfire, the red bloodfire, the blue mistfire, the black deathfire, and the green vitalfire. While vitalfire and deathfire are taboo for the Jeskai Way, mastering the other three opens the way to the sixth fire: the colorless ghostfire.

The problem with tying this shit to monasteries, is that monasteries are religious orders. So now we have to identify what is/isn't a religion, which no one can agree on, and it's all a pointless endeavour.

Alien seems to be only used for more one-off things that aren't specific types. Like... Beta Ray Bill would probably be an Alien because his species isn't super prominent.

608.2b If the spell or ability specifies targets, it checks whether the targets are still legal. A target that’s no longer in the zone it was in when it was targeted is illegal. Other changes to the game state may cause a target to no longer be legal; for example, its characteristics may have changed or an effect may have changed the text of the spell. If the source of an ability has left the zone it was in, its last known information is used during this process. If all its targets, for every instance of the word “target,” are now illegal, the spell or ability doesn’t resolve. It’s removed from the stack and, if it’s a spell, put into its owner’s graveyard. Otherwise, the spell or ability will resolve normally. Illegal targets, if any, won’t be affected by parts of a resolving spell’s effect for which they’re illegal. Other parts of the effect for which those targets are not illegal may still affect them. If the spell or ability creates any continuous effects that affect game rules (see rule 613.11), those effects don’t apply to illegal targets. If part of the effect requires information about an illegal target, it fails to determine any such information. Any part of the effect that requires that information won’t happen.

Also next time just fucking google it

So, they updated the comprehensive rules to allow for cardtype self-references but forgot to leave in a part where cards can reference themselves by name. They just deleted that part and replaced it with the new version.

None of the cards that use {CARDNAME} function anymore. Who cares, I guess. WotC doesn't care, that's for sure.

Reduce the cost (of this ability) by his (Kang's) mana cost.

NTA but I'm an English major, and you're being unnecessarily pedantic to avoid admitting you're wrong anon. Reminder text is often not fully grammatically correct, it's meant to be understood in the context of the other text it's printed with.

Why is the cloth not the antecedent but the cost is, nigger?
>>
>>98147002
>>98147030
To clarify, in the context of a clause like "his blood" we would usually refer to the paragraph's overall subject rather than the sentence's.
Grammatically, it is always wrong to use a pronoun without an antecedent, no matter how much it "makes sense" to a layman reader. You posted an incorrect sentence.
Devoid of a paragraph's context, a sentence like what you formulated should correctly be phrased something like
>Soak the cloth in the man's mongrel blood.

18th century niggers can tongue my anus. There is nothing wrong with using a pronoun with an antecedent in a previous sentence. It's been standard practice for over a century.
>>
>>98147160
>There is nothing wrong with using a pronoun with an antecedent in a previous sentence
Nobody said there was.
>>
>>98147167
Then there's nothing wrong with Kang.
>>
>>98147160
Here's a full overview of the issue, since your English major apparently didn't cover it:

>Parenthetical separation tends to carry its own, entirely independent, grammatical baggage, especially when the content of the parentheses forms complete sentences.
>The previous sentence (within the parenthesis) is in the imperative form, obscuring the parenthetical content's overall subject.
>"Kang" is a grammatical object, not subject. Even if you wanted "him" to refer to Kang outside the parenthesis, which it traditionally could not do, this relationship is confounded by "Kang's" place within the grammar.
>Even if you wanted to be lenient for the imperative structure within which "Kang" is situated, you still run into the problem of the proposed "Kang" antecedent being separated by "his" via an additional imperative sentence. In every context, trying to use "Kang" as an antecedent is grammatically obscured.

In addition to the above concerns. Plus more, probably, but I can't be assed.
