>>98258068Never leave home without it.
Marvel is already in our life'sYou think the game has improved with such new set? Are you having fun with the new cards?
>>98258068Praetor's Counsel is better
>>98258466fantasticar has rotated legacy and vintage so yeah
How the hell is Sephiroth weaker than Captain America when he's a supersoldier AND has magic powers whereas Captain America can only do acrobatic tricks?
>>98258524Captain America has more plot armor than any FF character.
>>98258524Sephiroth can actually be killed.
>>98258524welcome to magic UBtourist-kun! this is what powerscaling here is all about, enjoy your stay
>>98258524They are from different planes so their powers' are supposed to based on those from the same plane. Domanaria's bears are smaller than other planes.
>>98258574By a truck toss!
>Blue now stealing O-ring from whiteThis whole game is a joke
>>98258466>>98258524Marvel Superheroes is even worst than most UB slop as there isn't even a shared gameplay mechanic or theme>>98258650this aura has a decent gameplay idea behind it even though the execution sucks; it should at least cost more mana to cast
>>98258716>there isn't even a shared gameplay mechanic or themeFucked up that the team invented mechanics like crime and plot and didn't use them
>>98258858single block mechanics>single set mechanicsand with the advent of ability names, we can have single-card mechanics too!
How is WotC doing 10 Marvelets, but not this? They're already on Disney payroll
>>98258902embracer group holds the rightsgood luck
>>98258858They recycled some stuff from New Capenna tho
>>98258466Only new card I've been playing with, because it's general and not only synergistic with set mechanics. Pioneer poison.
>>98258961>3/4 for 3 with upside AND ward: lose the game. Lmao.
>unc still uses hearthstone stat lines for viabilityThis one was the last time a stat creature was playable and it was a whopping 7/6 for 3
His final heroic deed was to banish Trans from Scryfall. Thank you for everything, Ron Spears.
>>98259364gonna build an akorma deck in his honour o7
>>98259205>3 mana of 2 colours for a 3/4 with strictly worse hexproof and some glorified flavour text
Usea finally shipped my order.
>>982594125 poison counters is a shitload and you obviously play it in a flyn fight deck.
>>98259412>>98259642Its a 3/4 for 3 with death touch, ward: lose the game and gravepact stapled on because fuck it and it still wont see play in standard.
>>98259642why would I ever target this? it a literal 3 mama do nothing
>>98259660If you block a deathtouch creature you get 2-1d and if you dont block you die from flynns poison counters. And its BG so you can play other fun jank with it like Hepatra.
>>98259695>if I play a 2 mama do nothing too, surely I'll win!anyway I cast split up
>>98258961There's some shenanigans you can do with stuff like Return the Favour here, no? No way to copy the spell for an instakill tho
>>98259749Who cares nerd
>>98259769You can't force them to pay the ward cost, it'll just get countered
>>98259695>If you block a deathtouch creatureAnother deathtouch creature. It doesn't trigger of itself. So you need to have another creature die for it to do anything. And how many deathtouch cards are playable?
>>98259811But if they do pay, you could copy the triggered ability. I would assume?
>>98259800I accept you are concussion
>>98259839No. You can copy the Ward trigger and force them to choose between paying the cost twice or having the spell countered (or paying the cost once and having it countered if they're a freak) but you don't have a window after they've chosen to pay the additional cost to target the triggered ability on the stack.
>play commander>make tokens (and token engine online)>play a lord that gives them deathtouch>play flynn (probably)>get a sac outlet online>your opponents actually care about their boardyeah sure, it'll work. not easily, but it'll work.
>>98259839you have to copy it when the ward trigger is on the stack, before it resolves and your opponent decides whether to pay the cost or notso they will always know if they will have to pay the cost once or twice
>>98258650Gavin Kikey has been stealing literally everything from White and shoving it into blue ever since he took over design. Then the kike had the audacity to claim he’s going to fix the problems he himself is making. At least they can’t kike White in Premodern.
Tried playing standard for the first time since early this year. How is the meta the exact same that it has been since avatar with zero innovation? How does Wizards think that is a healthy format?
>>98259821Duh you dont swing with the 3/4 if it can die but your opponent needs to block if you have Fynn. This is all about fyn and poison. Theres like ten one drops with toxic and venerated rotpriest. You get bloated contaminator at the high end also.
>>98260214Nah dude.
>>98259811Ah fuck you're rightAnd an uncounterable spell would just go through without payingI'm sure there's some stupid shenanigans you could do here, outside of controlling the other player's turn
>open Arena>see heterosexual card artMust be UB season
>>98258524how does emrakul die to 15 squirrels
>>98260744das rite
>>98260744is the next power creep version going to draw you a card if the spell gets countered
>>982607731 generic 1 RDraw a card
>>98260773Pitiless Carnage, but costs 1R, is an instant, and lets you discard cards too, and staple "plus one" to the number of draws.This is the future.
>>98260773>>98260822THE FUTUREISNOW
>>98260770This art is antisemitic
>>98260852>>98260744>in order to play red properly you need to be gay or a race mixerI KNEW IT
>>98260773Nah, that's babymode. Just be a real baller.>If this spell would fail to resolve for any reason, it still resolves.
>>98260879Nobody plays monocolor tribal. /mtg/ is and always has been pro miscegenation.
>>98260875
why is all UB art heterosexual and all UW art homosexual?
>>98261053Because they have to somehow justify it existing so that's why they shit so hard on UW and then tell you: See? This UB shit is cool!
>>98261053Not in Alchemy.
>>98260905This.
>>98261053Because they only want one to survive, duh
>>98261093Their story began in ELD.
>>98261093>>98261188What the fuck is that thing?
>>98261204I think it's Goku
>>98261204Quasimodo.
>>98261093>>98261188i think the one on the left is a woman. they cover up her tits in each art
Why does corporate always hire trannies and fags to take over and ruin games?
>ruin gamesFor you.
>>98261390Was getting caught shilling part of your plan?
>>98261309Why would talented people want to work for big corps? Why wouldn't corps hire the people willing to work in exchange for yu-gi-oh! cards?
>>98261309They are just trying to educate you about how much of a tranny faggot you are by interacting with them at all. Theres a lot of make up and hair tutorials for you to be the best mtg player of all time. A game doesnt simply get infested by trannies but trannyism was always inherent in the game itself and was always a part of the game. Look at Richard Garfield this is her now.
>>98261397It doesn't matter what your headcanon is, what matters is Hasbro's stock price.
>>98261397>shilling in a shill game Lmao.
>>98261439Redpilled.
Gonna take this to modern on mondays. I’ve played builds before. Worst matchups prior were counterspell.dekFinally got some squelchers so maybe hoping to resolve a lucky boil won’t be necessary
>>98261666I don't know how to feel about oopsbelcher at this point. ruby storm is just so braindead easy to pilot. belcher bricks sometimes, ral probably does not
>>98258068You think I lost? I just began...
>>98261684oopsoopsoops
>>98261666Bro.. your chalice?
The only thing currently saving Vintage is that Fantasticar can't be played alongside Lurrus.
>>98261712Is chalice better than bauble? I’ll be real honest the karn-board is lean cause the red cards to do sooo much versus affinity, boros, and counterspell piles, bauble has the ability to counter anything chalice on 0 would and then some cause it hits forces
>>98261748blood moon + chalice is how red prison works
So I’m getting back into magic after decades bc of Marvel shit, I know I’m sorry for wounding your hobby. I went to a prerelease draft and had fun and caught the bug. How the fuck do I find people to play with? Just hang out at Friday night magic until I’m a regular and make friends there? Just be happy with Arena?
>>982617364car is getting restricted, it's honestly a given at this point, it's just a matter of how much people will put up with it in legacy until it gets banned
>>98261837Unironically, WHAT. THE FUCK. WERE THEY THINKING.
Commander is the end of Magic. No other TCG can compete with commander's popularity, and commanderfags have already proven they will accept whatever slop WotC injects into the game. Every decision WotC makes about the game is to appease commander players, and it is ALWAYS to the detriment of non-commander formats. Some busted ass shit that was designed around there being 4+ players? Its now rotated Legacy (again). Unsets being made black-bordered? They need to be so I can run my heckin attractions deck in my pod. 50% of the rares in a Standard set being build-around Legends that suck complete cock outside of commander? Commander. LD/MLD/Mana denial no longer viable strategies? Commander players find them unfun. UB is also because of Commander, when WotC realized they could ride the EDH gravytrain and turn every popular character from any IP into a commander.
>>98261837Keep in mind that currently, a playset of The Fantasticar costs more than the entire Dredge deck (~ roughly 240 Tix) on MTGO so people are getting gatekept by the price, if the card was accessible, there would be even more people playing it.>>98261840Probably the usual case of a card being made entirely for Commander and balancing how much damage it deals based on a casual game with 3 opponents and 120 life total.
>>98261837If cards got reprinted to decks weren't "valued" at 60k it wouldn't be a problem. The format is volatile to any shift with new cards because if a new card shakes up the format it costs another house mortgage to pivot; so the answer is to cry to Wizards to protect your investment.
>>98261837>cheapest deck is 10,000 dollarsnobody plays this format in paper
>If you do, create four 4/4 colorless Construct artifact creature tokens with flying and haste.Why no Prowess and Trample? WotC is seriously lacking with their design quality lately.
>>98261901https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMtUusGQJlUAre you sure?>>98261837I would just burn my workshops if I was forced to play this garbage for the rest of time. Which sucks, because any kind of aggro or prison shops is my preferred playstyle
>>98261760Believe me, I get how red prison works. I used to play mono-red prison before the simian ban. In the context of current modern chalice is at worst a speed bump for decks. Chalice on 1 aint what it used to be. Even worse when you can only get it turn 2 unless you warp your deck for ugin's lab and gemstone.
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7847735
>>98262130fair enough, I don't know the archetype well. I'd be interested to hear more about >>98261666because I don't entirely understand the playlines even though I've played some red soft-prison style decks. the plan is to like... remove something on turn 1, then ritual into blood moon or karn according to matchup, improve hand or board as appropriate, then belcher? and all of this sneaks through tempo gaps in the meta decks?
>>98262080>less than 85 playersYeah, I'm sure.
>>98262080>aggro or prison shops is my preferred playstylefeel free to burn with them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>98258650>now
>>98261840They have said time and time again they don't balance card for eternal format, only for limited maybe for standard and they try to not make "feel bad" cards for commander. I can't be bothered to find the article right now but for example I remember them saying the card they spend the most time rebalancing in Ikoria wasn't any of the companions, you know the cards that broke all formats so bad they needed to ban one from vintage before doing a rule change to fix them, it was Dirge Bat.
>3>Artifact>Sacrifice ~: Create four 4/4s with haste and flying.What did they mean by this?
>>98262821That your game is dead.Only Commander remains now.
>>98260214
>>98262073This doesn't seem hard at all to activate.>T1: land, mox, sol ring, car, any 0-mana artifact, GG
>>98258650Stat this
>>98262073Why the fuck do the tokens have haste? It's like the most retarded design in a long time and boy have there been terrible ones in the past years
>>98262073Why do they have flying? Isn't the flavour that this piece of shit arrives at the crime scene and the 4 retards get off? I think Batman or whoever can fly but what's the orange guy's power? If they all can fly why do they take the cab anyway?
>>98262152Ah yes... Legacy...
>>98262946VROOM VROOM anon.
>>98263027I think the flavor is supposed to be that all four compartments of this strange vehicle can detach and that's what the tokens are.
>vintage and legacy getting rammed in by a fucking car>pauper has a new tier 0 combo deck >modem still is MHslop: the format >can't be bothered to get invested in what's going on in standard since rotation is like 6 months away at times like this that I really appreciate pioneer's existence, I've been putting off learning the new greasefang build for a year, guess now it's the perfect time to do so
>>98263249>greasefangplease fuck off, now that cutter's gone you're the single most cancerous thing in the format
>>98263249Was she in the Rescue Rangers?
>>98258650even though it has the mechanics of an oblivion ring, practically it's a mind control aura with the downside of more easily returning the creature to the opponent
>>98263249Is Pioneer still played paper? Not seeing any event near me.
>>98262946The fantasticar can split apart into a single flying machine for each member of the fantastic four
>>98263330Yes.
>>98263391Only in the biggest of the stores.
>>98263588These guys are Disney IP? Somehow I forgot
>>98263330More like Biker Mice from Mars.
>>98263588How is Lorcana doing?
>>98263622dead at my localsstarwars is doing better
>>98263027Uhh i think only the human torch can fly? The big orange guy is made of rock thats his power lol. The car splits into 4 or some shit idk man comics are gay.
>>98263649>starwars is doing better>check my handpicks>moon to brick in one yearlmaonah
>>98263391I'll be going to my weekly pioneer FNM in a couple hours, I get often get the impression I'm quite lucky there though
>>98263747smartest whale
>>98258524He's a villain and Captain America is a hero
>>98263895>He's a villainDid they errata that? I don't see villain in his typeline.
>>98263762What? How so? Lucky as lucky to have a reliable paper pioneer group, I mean.
>>98263914mhm
>>98258459People will unironically tell you that Magic isn't one of the most poorly designed games ever made when it has cards like this in it
>>98258459Fair, but I use this dude to bounce a few times and I never really care that I don't know what's in their hand.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGzaMyfN6WkANOTHER ONE
>>98262164Yeah, ideally you can just belcher em turn 2 but after g1 you’re gonna have a crazy uphill battle trying to belcher them. So instead of the all-in nature of the usual mono-red belcher piles that easily fold to most interaction I decided to build it in such a way that you can slow your opponents down and give you much more options if belcher is needled or is obviously gonna get countered. Like creature beatdown, while slow, is fast enough under a bloodmoon usually. Karn pulls double-duty as another way to get belcher but also the obvious silver bullet of grabbing bridge, crypt, or coating. Theres also the splash damage of hitting artifact decks. I may be able to swap one squelcher for a defense grid as another karn target that’s okay against counterspell decks. Idk what the local meta looks like so the board and main is definitely not cemented. Will report thoughts and changes after monday.
>>98263955WOE had a lot kino cards
>he still plays Fortnite: The Gatheringlol. lmao.
>>98264080
>>98264068In regards to play lines, you wanna ritual out the fable or moon cause they make the next turns go alot smoother since with moon your lands now enter untapped with no cost. Fable filters and presents 2 cards your opps wanna answer since the goblin makes mana which you can obviously use to belch em easier or for double spelling. The reflection can copy the pinnacle monk late game to rebuy bolt which some decks won’t be able to get through. Otherwise if its a racing situation, try to get belcher in play by turn 2 or 3 and flip the deck when you untap. Just its hard to always do that even if you max out on acceleration so the removal and creatures buys time or forces interaction to none-belcher targets
>Enchantment Planeswalker: Saga Mutant Villian
>>98264068>Will report thoughts and changes after monday.consider mainboarding four bridges just for car enthusiasts this week. I predict many scoops
How do you, personally, deckbuild? Do you prefer to go all-out, or do you think "Damn, I would hate to go against this deck"?
>>98263143>I think the flavor is supposed to be that all four compartments of this strange vehicle can detach and that's what the tokens are.>Four 4/4s made out of car parts.>The car is not a 16/16.>The car is the same size as the four Constructs (Not robots this time???) that make it up.Thrilling flavor. Peculiar, even.
>>9826428820 lands 40 silver bullets
Why is UR still 43% of standard? The entirety of the end of 2024 to 2025 was just UR and red becoming dominant, then a ban nerfing those colors until suddenly a new red card is printed that lets UR become dominant again until it's banned. People try other things and then somehow gravitate back to UR until another ban happens in which case the cycle just repeats and somehow Izzat makes its way back into 43% of the format. Where is the monoblack or white weenie deck with 5-6% of the format?
>>98264377>nobody cares if standard is balanced or not, just by the newest UB goyslop or fuck offthis is essentially wotc's position
>>98264288I find a deck someone already made, with the card I want, and just rearranged it to my liking.
>>98264377>Why is UR still 43% of standard?The format is flourishing.
>>98264377They're acting like an abused wife that's clinging to the current standard meta because "at least it's MORE balanced than it was in 2025," and the only people buying that logic are the braindead grinders.>>98264457*The format is still evolving.
Is this the record for most number of creature types? I've never seen more than 3.
>>98264562>*The format is still evolving.Oh boy I can't wait to see its next rare, unique, fresh evolution featuring Red and featuring Blue.
>>98264617>Have the opportunity to bring back Monstrous. It's on-theme with Gammas/some villains etc.>Instead use a new mechanic with more open design space.>What do you do with that design space?>Make it exactly identical to just regular ass Monstrous.
>>98264617>I've never seen more than 3.Newfag...
>>98263930What do you mean?
>>98263955this card sounds insane for a 1 mana common wtf
>>98265365i like playing it with Estrid's Invocation. they made some crazy cheap etb enchantments that can be abused in the past couple years. see also Momentum Breaker which is a 1B that triples as an edict, a dicard and lifegain
>>98264068>Will report thoughts and changes after monday.please do. I like the concept.
>>98264916I hate what march of the machines has done to type lines.
>>98265365Dude, pair it with pic related when they have nothing else in their hand. Instant surrender.
>>98264916
I miss March of the MachinesThat was the last proper block we ever got, no? I fucking loved Phyrexians, I know they had to do away with them so we can have more fucking ninja turtles but they were the last truly "MTG" design we had
>>98266370Extremely high quality post
I miss the extra cards in boosters I miss the art cards in boosters
THAT'S RIGHT COCKSUCKAGO BACK TO THE FAIR BASILICA
>>98266557Get fucked and recycled
>>98266571Why is Urabrask so small? He looks way larger in his original art.
>>98266571He killed 16 Mirrans, guy was an interior decorator
How long before we get phyrexian spiderman or some shit would it be cool if they merged mtg with another ip for a set?
>>98266601He's twice the size of the dudes picking him apart. Praetors are big but not gargantuan.
>>98266633get in the fucking vat anon
>>98266655Maybe it's the fact that he doesn't have his signature long tail in that particular art that makes him look smaller.
>>98264703Power-up having counters is mostly a memory aid, I think is the main thing. And it's not strictly the same as Monstrous, they play in similar areas, but Monstrous puts the buff front and centre, Power-up does a whole 'thing' all in one.
>>98266705It's the same thing.They're the same ability.
>>98266743Exhaust was also the same ability. Is monstrous the new kicker?
>>98266633Phyrexians will join Eldrazi, Slivers, Lhurgoyfs and Kavu over in the Edge.
Unrelated, but I do think MTG has this weird thing regarding keywords and abilitiesLike, a unit can only Investigate if it makes sense thematically otherwise it wouldn't canon or whateverSame with all the billion mechanics that all boil down to "exile shit from your graveyard to do X", there's at least 3 or 4 at this point and the difference is minimal
>>98266751>Exhaust was also the same ability.Sure was.Tiresome levels rising.
>>98266760You say that, but a small part of me honestly believes that they will come back in some shape or form. That's only because I've been noticing more Phyrexian reprints in the last few sets
>>98266767Its not exhaust its kicker the turn you play it and then its like exhaust after that.
>>98267833Kicker is on cast. Monstrous is on permanents.They're both just hidden sorceries.
I cast Fantasticar and create a Reed Richards, a The Thing, a Johnny Firestorm and a Sue Invisible token. They're all 4/4s with haste and flying. G2?
Anyone want to go to Brazil with me to check out a premodern tournement?
>>98267946You cast the dude and buff it before your opponent has priority its kicker
I went 3-0 at FNM tonight and won a promo dark deed :) it was standardgot 5 EOE packs, pulled>foil breeding pool>watery grave>haliya>hellkite>lightstall inquisitor>black planet landand a starfall shepherd in the uncommonsbretty good night
insider herefantasticar is getting restricted in vintage on monday but they are gonna keep monitoring it in legacy no bans in pauperno bans in standard no bans in modern
>>98268357Fantasticar must be in the format for six months before its restricted for financial reason please understand all metas are actually healthy at this time. No changes. Maybe a pauper un ban. Lmao.
Yuck
>>98258524wotc started caring about lore implications of statlines in like 2005 and stopped caring about it in like 2015.
>>98259326>it was a whopping 7/6 for 3... with upside! dohohohoho
>>98260875yes the girls have nice hair and are being nice to their menfor some reason they really don't like depicting that
>>98265365It's pretty good but it doesn't have a deck in the only format where commons are playable. Glint Hawk for enchantments is needed.
>>98261204how nostalgic
>>98268829This art is legit atrocious holy fuck.
nice ass
this is early data, but wew. Rakdos what happened
>>98268956Perfectly balanced, as all things should b-ACK
>>98268956What's this
>>98269128draft winrate data for the new standard set17lands.com
>>98268829Imagine losing to this in pauper
>>98268956It takes 15 seconds for the MTG community to solve a draft format and realize it's broken and unbalanced as fuck.Why can't WotC's design team realize this within years of work?
>>98269165Let's be insanely generous with the numbers.50 designers x 40 hours per week x 26 weeks to design a set = 52000 man-hours100000 players x 30 minutes looking at set spoilers = 50000 man-hoursThey've got fewer people than that on any one set, less time than that, and fewer weeks than that. It's easier to break the cards that exist than balance the endless counterfactuals of earlier/possible versions of cards (see the confusions and rebalancing of shit like Skullclamp or Oko). I'm not disputing the fact that they're doing a dogshit job with endless unforced errors, moreso that those errors come from Hasbro wringing blood from a stone and more than doubling the number of cards released per year.
>>98267635The reprints are because after decades Phyrian became a legit tribe and there's just so much of them. In retrospection making them a tribe was a very retarded idea from logistics point of view but alas, Maro is a retard.About Phyrexians coming back... I guess? Ashiok is still around and there's much more people mentally scarred by Phyrexians all over the universe to torment about it.
>>982691841 expert man hour should be able to spot a problem that 50,000 layman man hours miss.
>>98269189The best players of a game typically aren't the designers, same as how fans can typically have an autistic mastery of a book's lore that eclipses an author's memory. How deep of a shit do you give about your job? Do you know how a decision you're making today might interact with a decision made by a coworker 30 years ago in an unmonitored system that's outside your area of responsibility?
>>98269199>Do you know how a decision you're making today might interact with a decision made by a coworker 30 years ago in an unmonitored system that's outside your area of responsibility?If it was my job to know that, I would know it, yes.
>>98269201My point is it isn't their job, as determined and laid out by the suits that set the release schedule and told them to make a dickfuckton of cardboard that's balanced for limited, standard, and/or commander at best. I don't disagree with you that it'd be best for the game if they did have that level of domain mastery, but that kind of expertise takes money to cultivate and time to act upon that aren't being provided.

>Undercity Informer should be banned because... because it just should, okay?
>>98268023actuly swety, you make 4 tokens with the exact same name. I cast echoing truths when you swing
>>98268829what's with wotc's obsession with food in more and more unrelated art? is this an american thing?
>>98269361Fat women thing. They have no hobbies other than food
>>98269361It's #relatable
I don't think I'll get a chance, but I really want to pop off with super-adaptoid in limited. White in this set can give this thing flying and vigilance with the skrull common and lifelink and Indestructible with the common combat trick.
>>98269448I think he can grab first strike death touch menace from the black widow uncommon if you stack the triggers correctly too.... which would sort of defeat the purpose of the black widow card, though, since you presumably wouldn't be attacking alone at that point... hmm...whatever a flying indestructible lifelinking trampler in Selesnya still sounds pretty good. it's not easy to give it both lifelink and indestructible, though.
>>98269361The pizza is there because the dog is Lucky the Pizza Dog. Lucky's thing is being a dog and eating pizza.
>>98269543Comics are really fucking stupid
>>98268956The annoying part is everyone claiming they are Iron Man.
>>98269481I'd also like to grab the first strike from Black Widow, if you catch my drift
>>98269481>it's not easy to give it both lifelink and indestructible, thoughI just said the combat trick gives both. Just throw it on another creature and have super adaptoid swing. Alternatively, if you haven't played adaptoid yet, you can just use the combat trick normally (i.e. mid-combat) and then play adaptoid on second main phase to get the keywords.
>>98269612Black and white cats are truly peak.
>>98264098Pretty based image ngl. I can't wait until we can literally play out the Ultimate Showdown.

>>98269361Food is "relatable" aka its to appeal to people who can't see the apple in their mind.
>>98258961Stifle (or defabricate, spider sense, etc) can block ward’s counter ability if you don’t pay it. And you can still remove this creature with sheoldred’s edict and other force sacrifice. Pretty gnarly ward cost though
>>98259364What you mean? Ron Spears did my favorite Magic art. But how did he defeat the troon scourge ?
>>98264377Please understand, it takes about 20 years for kikes to allow powerful white cards in Standard
>>98269980It could have been worded a lot better, but the image of a thunderstorm with a strategist's mind is pretty neat.

What changeling cards should I buy now as Star Trek spec?
>>98269280it's because it makes people who spend 10k on a legacy deck seethe with the rage of a thousand suns, and we can't have that, legacy is supposed to be the paypiggy format
>>98270006>If there's something a villain fear, it's a weapon. Especially if the weapon is figuratively Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu, the symbol of their fear.
>>98270544KJAHHAHHAHHAHHA
>>98270544Izzet Ferengi Tribal WILL dominate Standard.
>>98258459>>98260822great commander cards!! are there ANY other black wheels than this??
Dead game?
>>98270544
What currently sold series will be worth the most later?
>>98272670and dead general yes
>>98272678MKM the surveil lands are its only value.
>>98268956look at my signpost uncommon bruh
i dont understand how they thought lessons would be okay in standard
>>98272778in general the avatar set was poorly designed (even more than the average set), FIN was in development for like 5 years, outside of Vivi they managed to iron out everything that could end up being too strong, avatar might as well have been the first UB set designed for the new 3-year standard age
>>98272927>muh 5 year development>muh sets are designed for 2 years in advanceIf it were true, then White was intentionally designed to be weak in Standard since FIREIf not true, then even YEARS of practice can't help these feculent kikes to produce powerful white cards while simultaneously overpowering nonwhite cards.Both can't be true. Also known as the JOTC kike paradox of White design.
>Look forward to only one card in the Marvel set>Nearly 7 dollars at the momentI really do hate Jumpstart. Price isn't the issue, but the principle is
>>98273448>then White was intentionally designed to be weak in Standard since FIREthis is true, everybody knows it
Couldn't sleep at all because of the heat, RCQ today, deck is easy to pilot and I know it well, should I go anyway? I guess I probably won't be the only one who didn't sleep much...
Going to the marvel prerelease was a mistake. Now I’ve got the itch to keep playing magic but I don’t have anyone to play with and don’t know if I’ll have fridays free. At least Arena is ok
>>98273475yesdestroy those fuckera
>>98273507OK but it feels like I'm wearing a very heavy hat and my ability to find and understand visual information is at 50%
This game is so COOKED is unreal.
Why are there 5 She-Hulks?
>>98273677Because her show was a big success when it was only a project that Marvel mentioned to WoTC years ago Same reason Kang is featured so heavily
>>98273677>designated Standard card because it's a mythic>Jumpstart?>limited uncommon>prob that starter deck thing>commander precon
What kind of card design is this
>>98273820wow imagine if the art was a female character instead haha
Been kicking around an idea for a plane consisting of medieval lunar colonies overrun by hallucinating AIs. Please r8 my first ever custom cards. Don’t be gentle
>>98269232Two-card win combo? Prodigal Pyromancer wishes he was this good.>>98273677How many Venoms are there?
>>98273827Get in here >>98230585You can learn about the tools and design principles.The bird: the frame should be gold, the "sliver mechanic but it's survivors instead" is in every color, so that's ok. Flying is ok as a keyword in small birds and it's blue too, so it can be given away to the tribe; but, First Strike isn't an ability that has a lot of association to neither blue nor green, so a green/blue sliver giving it would be out of place. The becomes a survivor is ok, GU mutates things. And one more thing: Green before Blue in the costs. >The constructConstructs are usually artifact creatures, and also the frame should be gold. The combat trick is too powerful as it is written, effectively disabling the attack of survivor decks (which I'd guess it's going to be an archetype) by keeping {b} or {b}{b} untapped at the end of turn.
>>98273911You should also mention that multiple flying first-strikers is a nearly unbreakable wall in limited and essentially requires removal on the starbird to resolve a one-sided stalemate.
>Ignore Marvel commander spoilers>Get attacked for 16 in the air on turn 2 by four 4/4 flying haste creaturesI have once again made the critical mistake of forgetting the straight to legacy package of retarded cards wotc prints every set now. My bad.
>>98273827Blue or green shouldn't have first strike.
>>98273820Timmy coded
>>98274064They didn't print that card for legacyThey are just retarded
>>98273911>>98274575Appreciate it
anyone who thinks their format is safe is delusionalcube is next with their legend rule change coming soon thanks to legend bloat making standard unplayable
>>98273820Dog shit. You can already cast any spell for free every turn for four mana.
When does the miku deck drop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw7mF-yUyvkNEW AIDS JUST DROPPED
>>98274575>Blue or green shouldn't have first strike.No you see, giving first strike to a creature is similar to giving -2/-0 to the opponent's creature, so we decided that first strike is now in blue's color pie
>>98274950>tubeslopnot interested
>>98261847none of that matters just play a tier deck and slime out your next RCQ. it doesnt matter whats in the deck. the card art doesn't matter. it doesn't matter what some other person is doing or saying or anything else. winning is the only thing that matters - just win. always win.
>>98273677ummm cool it with the misogyny sweatyjust because you can't handle seeing a strong empowered woman doesn't mean those cards shouldn't exist
My friend's dad apparently has five Volcanic Islands in okay-but-used condition sleeved up and sitting in a small box. Will those just continue to go up in price and he should just hold on to them?
>>98275457>Will those just continue to go up in priceas long as the reserved list continues to exist, they'll keep going up, the problem is that you never know when they might get rid of it
THEY JUST ENDED IT TURN ON CNN
>>98274697Cube is literally one step above kitchen table you tard. There aren't any rules.
>>98275491Even if they did literally remove the RL WotC already proved to the entire world half a decade ago now that it literally never mattered. All the people that kept those prices high because muh old cardboard once touched by xoomers never cared about new printings in the first place. They will literally always be thousands of dollars because they were the originals and they were history and all the genuine ones that represent this era are old and scarce and always will be.
>>98274950How can you listen to this guy gargle water like that while trying to talk for 13 whole minutes?
>>98258524Why do we have world war II depicted on a magic card
I have a new dream of getting back into magic to grind out RCQ's so I can title some big tournament and burn the UB cards in my deck during the post-game interview.
>>98275796better stock up on estrogen boosters
>>98266678Trump Goblins>>98269448Should be "power is equal to the number of legendary creatures in play" and the other ability should be based on opponent creatures.What a flavor fail.>>98270143I think they removed bad art from their front page in favor of cards done by Ron Spears.
>>98275543hmm curious. yet still most cubes use the up to date rules of magic the gathering
I went 1-4 at the Modern RCQ
>>98276362matchups? you might just have been unlucky
>>98276362grim
>>98276368I was playing Hog 2.6 first game was log bait, second game was hyperbait, third game was golem beatdown, last game was lumberloon.
>>98276368I brought the second draft of a meme deck that I had never played before: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/22-05-26-junk/The plan was simply to blast first with recursive 6/1 ball lightnings starting turn 2 and count on the off-meta angle to be hard to sideboard against, for instance. Needless to say I have a few things to fix for next time.But yes overall unlucky hands/draws.>0-2 Azorius blink Long ass games. Even with the 6 life gain from my elementals, Solitude fucked with me and forced me to stall for time with board wipes (used both Corpse Explosion and Damnation) which doesn't fit my deck at all and ofc it led nowhere. >0-2 Grixis ReanimatorEmperor of Bones is a real hard counter to my recursive elemental strat. I came very close to winning one game though.>1-2 Ruby Storm This is when my list finally clicked for the first time. Perfect hand fired and recursive Skelemental emptied most of his hand and killed turn 3 or 4. He called my shit "brutal". Two matches I lost were me losing the race to his comboing off, obviously. >0-2 Boros EnergyObviously a faster aggro plan than my meme list, but it's also the one game where I was mana screwed both games so, fuck that one.>2-1 WUBRG Indomitable Creativity/ControlOf course I ultimately ended up against another friendly fa/tg/uy with a super spicy meme list that shat out food/treasure/goblin/dwarf tokens. Still very tight games, he stayed at 1 HP for 5 turns just destroying or exiling every elemental I played.
>>98276479Confusing "game" and "match" a lot here but I'm a dumb frogposter so you'll have to excuse me.
>>98276479at least you had fun
>>98276517People there were very chill and friendly, big surprise after my last experiences 5 years ago which had a few of very hateful cunts, dunno if it's me being less or a weirdo or the fact everybody only had 2h of sleep in them because of the drought, but the atmosphere was good. It was just a bunch of 30/40yo having fun and enjoying the format.
>/edhg/ is now so active the janitors had to let them have 4 simultaneous generalsThis game is cooked.
>>98276552>activeIt gets spammed to image limit half the time by ritualposters
>>98276552It's just schizophrenic thread wars.
>>98276622Based.
>>98276479>trying to play a fun deck in modernI don't know what you expected
>>98276722Did I complain? I expected 0-5 and precious data on how to improve the meme further.
When this game will finally die so Cummander becomes everything?
>>98276764All the cards and products are already designed with commander primarily in mind.
>>98273677Regular Hulk got 7.
>>98258902New movies all sucked, no wide reaching cultural relevanceAnd speaking of, I think Gay Trek was forced on them to get Avatar
>>98276622Why don't we get any of those? If it was just tied to a lack of sanity then the Arena general would have them all the time.
Magic magic everywhere but not a drop of soul.
>>98277748Rookie mistake. Malignancies like that in a general are utterly uncorrelated with the thread topic, they're purely a function of time and fortune. Certainly there's trends and proclivities but on the whole the longer a general is around the more likely it gets some moron who treats it as their combination hovel/porta-a-john and devotes themselves to ruining it. Doesn't matter if it's about card games, a cartoon from the 90s, Russian literature, basket weaving... You'll get one eventually and you have to wait for them to get bored or die.
2026, I am forgotten...
Serious postI lost my job this month and would like to liquidate some cards. I sold most of my really valuable stuff years ago and now I have ~300 commons and uncommons that have a market price of at least $1. How can I sell them quickly, just take them to an LGS or mail them into tcgplayer?
>>98278653LGS will offer you like 50% of what they're worth. No idea about TCGplayer. You could maybe do a bulk sale on a local BST group but peer-to-peer sales are generally expected to undercut the market
>>98278653Buylist what is on buylists.Unfortunately, the rest is "bulk" and sells for 15 bucks per 1000 cards about.
>>98278653Bulk sale on second hand places like FB marketplace is probably your best option.
