>>98164657>TQI HOPE IT KILLS THE FUCKING GAME
>>98164731are you worthy?
>>98164791yes ^^
But where are shark boy and lava girl? They are in the set right?
>>98164731Do you play Commander? No? Then your game is already dead.
>>98164657TACOOOOOS
>>98165322but unironcally
>>98165414nah, I'm coming home
>>98165535Premodern is the only way left to enjoy this game.
>>98165500>m.jpg
Say something nice about, anything about Marvel set, give MaRo a positive feedback.
>>98165585A lot of the women actually look attractive
>>98165585hopefully this set will cement all interest in ub and future releases of outsider garbage ip they plan to make. i'm praying for it.
>>98165585You know, after dropping out of the latest game design contest I entered, I was starting to wonder if it was even worth keeping at it.But then I watched this set crash and burn, and suddenly I'm feeling a lot better about my chances.Thanks, Maro.My game doesn't seem nearly as bad by comparison anymore.
>>98165585>Say something nice about, anything about Marvel setThat one Fight card has a glorious pair of honkers that Loot let slip by.
>>98165585
>>98165585It's one set closer to Nosewater's retirement, and one set closer to design being taken up by somebody who might actually care about Magic.
>>98165585I like Squirrels so thanks, MaRo.
They made it.
Gaylien
>>98166159Why are people so fucking retarded? Can't you just put the fucking card on a table or something before taking the photo and not put your fucking finger on the text?
>kree skrull hero
>>98166125>ArtifactAAAH!!! PAUPERSISSIES!!! HOLD ME!!!
2026, I am forgotten...
>>98166164Wow, it's the worst Hulkling has ever looked.
>>98166292he exists to recast ancestral and brainstorm in vintage xeroxhttps://mtgtop8.com/event?e=82982&d=830495&f=VInot much else you can do
>>98166424>vintage>4 orcish bowmasters ahah
>>98166429Don't forget the 4 psychic frogs, as well.
>>98166424>not much else you can doYou could recast the Learn spells in Pioneer to get a bunch of lessons from the sideboard.
What's worse, UB or UB?
Maybe it's time to reprint it.
>>98166462UB is not made equal. Unfortunately if you allow the more palpable UB, it only encourages them to test the limits.
broodscale combo is back baby
>everybody is getting film version art of their character instead of actual comic book depictionSo is Shadowcat going to get art of Ellen Page? Or will they make her a man?
>>98166292>forgottenbecause its banned in its only relevant format
>>98166762Why is Legacy its only relevant format?
>>98166785cause neither modern or pioneer get fow and daze to protect it or brainstorm and ponder to generate good card advantage + selection
Taskmaster spoiled with the worst quality picture possible.
>>98166984How did this counterfeit card get in there
>>98166984Best I can tell it's "first main, becomes a copy of any creature on the field/graveyard until next turn, except name and types don't change".
>>98166984>at the beginning of your first main phaseIt’s shit, it’s commanderslop shit. Every fucking card is commanderslop shit.
>>98167009Are you new to Magic?
>>98167094Are you
>>98167111No, so I am aware when this game has transitioned to being a Commander-centric product. Don't make me tap the legendary creature chart.
>>98164657What cards can bounce your opponents lands?
>>98167162Blue ones
>>98167162
>>98167162Venser is fun if you build around them, especially if you blink them a bunch and double (or more) the bounce trigger.
>>98167162If only there was a website that let you look up magic cards by what they do…
>>98167204Corny Walter White flavor text
>>98167222its amazing how much better it would be if they just printed the first part of it
>>98167204What on earth does that ability have to do with kung fuAll these fucking marvel cards are designed like this:"Punchy McKillFist, Battle BrawlerLegendary Fairy Advisor1/1Tap, discard a card and draw a card."Yea, I'm gonna punch you!""
>>98167204So which creature would benefit the best from him?
>>98167277kek
>>98167277Honestly it seems like other than certain key characters names were assigned at random to cards.
>>98167340>>98167277ChatGPT.

Another deck was revealed to me in a dream.Esper snow.
Wow...the cards from the same set...were designed to be synergistic?
>>98167628BASED
>>98167595We need a new ICE/CSP/KHM to boost snow.
I wasn't around when it came out, but I've been playing a lot of Avatar limitedWhat do I think about it?
>>98167712It's fine. Not great, but decent.
Here's Bullseye, he does exactly what you'd expect Bullseye to do.
>>98167721Well he just needs some weapons manufactured.
>>98167646Trivia: there are five legendary snow creatures in the game, all five of them were released within the last five and a half years, and four of them were released in Kaldheim. And you can bet your ass NONE OF THEM ARE WHITE!
>>98165585I will reluctantly say a lot of the cards here are flavorful even though Marvel was a horrible UB choice.
>>98167761Snow is very Green which is why Esper would be fun to pull out
Ant-Man's great-granddaughter
>>98167721He actually doesn't, because I don't know anything about the character. Please do not explain him to me as I also do not care to know anything about him.
Draw stuff for red. Don't ask why influencers put their fat fingers over the text of the cards they're trying to show off, I'm just as befuddled as you are.
>>98167778Psychopathic master assassin Bullseye is the deadliest marksman in the world and the ultimate arch-nemesis of Daredevil. He can turn virtually any object into a lethal projectile with terrifying precision.
>>98167834Oh, hey, Hazmat and Mettle do show up in the set at least. Shame there's no actual cards for them. Maybe Jumpstart has them who knows.
Oh is this happening again when somebody posts a bunch of cards in the same colours for literally zero reason just to flood the general?
>>98165585Many new legendary creatures to use as commanders.
>>98167904Holy mother of based and redpilled.
>>98167814I.. don't get it? What's under the guy's finger to make this a functionally different card?
>>98167814>>98167928Finally I can play 8 Demand Answers
>>98167928"You may sacrifice" and "if you do" you get cards. RAW you get the option of playing the card and sacrificing nothing for no gain.
Hm excuse me why is this Common worth 5 bucks?
>>98167949Also you don't need to sacrifice anything if it gets countered since the sacrifice is part of the effect and not the cost.
>>98167994Staple in every green commander deck.
>>98167949So it's strictly superior in every single way, no?
>>98168032Yes, love won. Stop demanding answers, chud.
Hows standard in person? I was playing some super budget deck on arena ranked and it was doing okay so I built in paper. But now I gotta actually find an LGS. Online it looks like everyone is just playing landfall or izzet prowess
>>98168060>Hows standard in person?Non-existent unless you live in Nebraska
>>98167661He's a pretty obscure pick, not sure Green is the correct colour for him either
>>98167204>not a monkOuch>>98167661I was just thinking about this character the other day and how I doubted he would get a card.>>98167721I'm a little surprised they have both abilities and not just the trigger for when he enters and attacks/becomes tapped.
>>98168060I put together a bad deck and went to a store championship a week ago. There were 3 other people who showed up. I got 4 promo psychic frogs for 10 dollars. However, I did not have any fun playing standard.
>HumanUmmmmm ackshually he's a posthuman energy being and should be categorized as an elemental
>>98168147He still eats food and stuff, so human clasification is fine
Okay wtf there are five different Lokis in this shitty ass release
>>98168147His origins have always been all over the place. He's still technically of human origin. If there were space they'd probably make him a Human Elemental Performer Hero but him being an actor is more important than him being energy.
>>98168147Power-up is such a boring mechanic.
>>98168155And there will be 10 Bilbos and 13 different interchangeable dwarves with no defined personalities in the next set.
>>98168147I would have guessed elemental too since that's what they gave Klaw. Maybe there will be a purple energy body Wonder Man and it will be an elemental.>Activate each power-up ability only... once?
>>98168170I think it's fine, but it's weird to do in a set with transforming MDFCs, which are the exact same mechanic but more fleshed out.
>>98168216Well power-up means they don't need to make whole other sides so many more cards.
>snow has most support in green and blue, but gets additional value from black>snow is actually sultai codedHuh.
>>98167764>I will reluctantly say a lot of the cards here are flavorful This isn't even a thing to say anymore now that literally any action from any piece of media can and will be represented by magic mechanics now>omg the new york pizza delivery creature created a food token when it entered omg i'm losing my miindddddd
>>98168283I know Loki's had a lot of incarnations but I'm kinda surprised this one's here. Guess they just wanted to get every fucking Young Avenger in.
>>98168301Where's America?
>there are more Marvel legendary creatures than there are on any single planet in MagicHow is this okay
>>98168303Good question. Might be saved for a future set, but admittedly I dunno what theme of a set she'd really fit into. She's not really magic-associated besides being alongside Doctor Strange in a movie, she's not really Cosmic, she's definitely not an X-Men member and I remain unconvinced at the possibility of a Multiverse-themed set. The magic stuff might also dip into alternate realities and stuff with Man-Thing and the like so maybe America'll show there.
>>98168314Another W for the New York block.
>>98167204She doesn't seem Mythic power level. Did they swap some rare with her late into development?
>>98168327>SheThat's a guy.
>>98167277She's able to kill a bear that's all the kung-fu you need.
>GammaLet it sink.
>>98168337Drix is a creature type with just as much mechanical relevance, why is Gamma an issue beyond Marvel bad?
>>98168337Killing a bear is no great feat.
>>98167928If visions of love gets countered you don't have to pay the cost but if you copy it you have to pay it twice.
>>98168032Not if you want to copy it.
>>98168147Hey look, I can pay 14 mana to have a flying 8/8. How neat is that?
>>98168381You can get it for 9 mana if you pay it all up front!
Perfect for the Hero deck.
>>98168381Power up ability aren't sorcery speed. It's not great but still a decent as a mana sink in limited.
>>98168448Also on the turn you play him it's 'just' a 9 mana 8/8 flier.
>>98168381You can pay a minimum of 9 if the format is slow enough.
Is Avatar the only UB set without dinos?
>>98168478ragavan but bad
>>98168464dreadmawbros....
>>98168479I don't think people want to see a better Ragavan.
>>98168478>Doesn't put the lands backOh boy mill support!
>>98168548ok fair
>>98168478Wow, it's shit.>And mana of any type can be spent to cast that spell.We already know mana can be spent to cast spells, WotC. Why even write this.
>>98167204>Shoes onLame.
>>98168464that dino is wearing pants
>>98168617holy retardthat means any colored pips are replaced by (1) generic
>>98168617
>>98165500flavor fail, why don't you have to sacrifice the vehicle to cast it?
