>>98351698>fazparteI know that guy
>>98351698Seems less diverse than standard. Why are the shills shilling this format?
>>98351707Define shilling.
>>98351698If WotC is so smart they will make premodern horizons.
>>98351710Telling people to play premodern 30 times per thread
>>98351718Well you need to edit definition of the word in every vocabulary.
>>98351718Also no thread had 30 times. Previous had 2.
it's been long enough, I'm bringing this back
>>98351698They should toy around with unbanning some stuff. I don't think Grim Monolith would break the format but I could be wrong. It'd let me play my full '99 Kai Budde deck.
SEXO SEXO SEXO WITH WITCH SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>98351617>TQif you have any positive feeling about this set, please consider suicide
I like the full art ui lands.

All commander decks are white.
Goes straight into my uncanny celeb card deck
Thanking God above that he didn't make me a mtg finance dork and leave me holding shockland bags after their 3rd reprint in 2 years.
>1/1 red Officer tokenMy disgust will be tempered if they focus the Rakdos draft archetype on killing redshirts
why not print the fetches instead of the shocklands, which are already in standard?
>>98352256Do you seriously want fetchable duals in standard again?
>>98352277Might as well at this pointAlthough it would be noticeably busted because of landfall
>>98352277Sure. Standard is already a shitfest. Can't really get worse.
Who the fuck is this nigga? They should have done what they did in FF and put what series they're from down the bottom.>Star trek discovery shortens to STDOh, guess we found out why they didn't.
Just give elden ring UB and I will keep buying the game pieces.I don't know if I can continue otherwise.
>>98352256Maro considers fetches a mistake and they wanted all shock lands to rotated at the same time.
>>98352364I want Zelda. I want to play a deck with a Link from every game.
>>98352370>trusting literally anything mark rosewater types on his blogShiggy diggy
>>98352364They should do Sailor Moon. At least it actually has attractive female characters.
No Aliens in Star Trek confirmed.
>>98352362that's red letter media associate Jack Quaid from the boys
WHY THE FUCK IS SCRYFALL WEBP NOW?
>>98352414Because FUCK YOU, that's why.
>>98351793I agree with this post.

>>98352364based call for help poster
Is a pauper black devotion deck with picrel too slow for the format?
>>98352362I think it is from the netflix(?) animation. I really have no idea but the girl with the giant weapon would have been memed to infinity if it was a real tv show.>>98352370Modern was good with fetches and shocks. Modern became shit fiest with MH2 and other direct to modern product. Pioneer is shit without fetches.MaRo has no idea about what he is talking and only have a slight idea about design and that is all.>>98352382They will make it for the actual aliens
>>98352382>Cephalid becomes Octopus, Naga becomes Snake, Rakshasa stops being Cat Demon, etc because we have too many creature types>Alien, Gamer, Coyote, Pest, Vermin, Robot, Mercenary, etc>Q, Qo, Klingon, Hero, Villain, etcWotC hates their own IP, it is amaze, really
>>98352414BECAUSE FUCK YOU, THAT'S WHY
>>98352896>WotC hates their own IP>"We follow market signals!">"The thing that influences our decisions most is sales figures!">"Also, here's a 1 of 1 lottery card in UB, and here are signed cards in UB! Also, tens of millions of dollars for advertising UB sets! We spend 4 to 5 years designing UB sets, and 6-18 months on UW sets!">"See! The people want UB!"WotC taught me that hate is okay in some contexts.
>>98353011my favorite was when MaNo lied that people don't want UW reprints when the only place they put them was on the fucking list of a set booster
>>98351617>>98351652KHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=wRnSnfiUI54
>>98352883Mono black is pretty meh in pauper right now. I have seen some builds run pic related as their late game finisher. It lets you build full control and not have to worry about keeping black devotion on field.
>>98351617what the hellyhttps://youtu.be/TTY2e_4b9jM?t=194
>>98351652>TQWow these look like shit. Are they really scraping the bottom of the barrel? Oh, wait, there's worse in the pipeline, isn't there.
>>98353064I don't know how you can get worse than an entire set filled with photos of celebrities.
>>98353076We technically did get worse than that before
>>98353092>trying to figure out what the artist is>barely remember that ATLA used book instead of season>it's a cropped screencap on the cartoonGod damn, I am glad that I stopped paying attention to MtG outside of jumpstart setsspeaking of, it's been almost 2 years so where's the new set announcement, WOTC?

Star Trek collector boosters listed as unavailable on Amazon for me, did they sell out already?
>>98353183why do you care?
>>98353186Because I am a casual magic player but a serious trekkie and I want an Avery Brooks signature card.
>>98353191>I want an Avery Brooks signature cardYou're better off buying one
>>98351698
>>98353191>Avery Brooks signature card.>Avery BrooksYou filth. Far Beyond the Stars will get a saga. 100% to own the chuddies.
>>98352362>>98352885No, he's from the "comedy" cartoon that was on paramount plus. He later gets to cross over to a "real" show in stranger worlds which is a live action one.The one from Netflix is Star Trek Prodigy and it's actually quite decent as far as Star Trek shows go, but I HIGHLY doubt WotC will make anything related to it because it doesn't have any big famous actor and 90% of the main crew are aliens, save for hologram Janeway.
>>98352735>>98352767Well, I just jerk off and then eat my own cum, so I get the best of both worlds.
>3/2 for 2 CMC>Trample>Has an ability when it diesI know power creep has gotten fucking retarded but this is fucking horrendous. I bet it doesn't even see standard play because the game has gotten so FUCKING RETARDED THAT EVEN A 3/2 FOR 2 CMC HAS TO HAVE EXTRA ABILITIES SLAPPED ON IT AND THEN ISN'T EVEN GOOD ENOUGH FOR STANDARD!!!!!!
>>98353332>complaining about standard when red is already half the izzet problem
>>98352414Your fuck webp browser addon?
>>98353332This will go great in my klingon warriors deck!
>>98353402No wait i mean this will boldly go in my klingon warriors deck!
>>98353332Why does the Klingon have such a retarded moustache? I thought they were more into beards.
>>98351698Exactly as expected.
>>98353416The Original Series Klingons were just dudes with minimal makeup.
>>98351698Looks super fun! not cancerous!
>>98353428I'm aware. But look at him. His moustache and goatee are much cooler than the card's.
>>98352885>Modern became shit fiest with MH2Not MH1?
>>98353433>Premodern began life advertised as a place to play janky old cards in a more laid back, nostalgic setting>It's best decks are just slightly worse versions of their legacy counterpartsNigger format
>>98353105Avatar and Marvel got Jumpstart sets. Since it's a good beginner format they've decided Jumpstart is best saved for UB properties that are likely to bring in new players.>>98353191It's going to be Armin, maybe Colm since he was in the states for a con recently.>>98353183Sold out yesterday about an hour after the reveal stream.
I cant wait to build my Bortus commander deck.
>>98353667>I cast 500 hundred cigarettes
>>98353671In response I sacrifice Bagel and Schmear, gaining 3 life and defeating lung cancer.
Grow the Beard2WSorceryExile target creature you control until the beginning of your next upkeep.When it returns to the battlefield you gain 5 life and put a +1+1 counter on each creature you control.
>>98353332This will go great in my Klingon commander deck!
>>98353428The fact they got the original actors of the three main Klingon's from TOS to reprise their roles in DS9 will never not make me happy.
>>98353034Wasn't corrupt played in the past when the format was slower? Now I think playing it requires bubbling muck
>>98351652This is the moderate position btw
>>98352256Having both is too strongOr at least it should be if standard was actually standard power level
>>98352256>He wants fetch/shock in standard>He wants fetch/shock in a standard where landfall is 1 land drop too slow to be tier 0
>>98352735Wait this retard is kinda based?
>>98353332The level of powercreep is insane>communists want to bury the past and wear its accomplishments like a skin suit Many such cases
>>98353960Yeah but "semen retention" is synonymous with celibate. And in your case the celibate is involuntary.
So is Shelly even still played in 60 card? I kind of figured she was done when TOR got banned. Not that I particularly keep up with Modern, but I can say I don't remember the last time I saw her in pio.
>>98353967Its amazing how consistently demons hate virtue
>>98353980>So is Shelly even still played in 60 card?absolutelyin pioneer, if you're a midrange black deck, you run at least 2 copies of sheoldred, sometimes 3in modern, she's goes into every necrodominance deck, usually as a playset but the more aggressive the list is, the more it can get away with running less copiesin legacy, she can be played with the ring so virtually every black stompy deck wants at least a few copiesshe's a very good card for very specific decks that's hard to replace
>>98353980Why is seth macfarlane on a card
>>98352364this but drakennier so I can shell out for gooner full art Kaine with a prominent bulge
>>98353980>Went with Benny Cuminhersnatch than the real Khan
>>98354030>the real KhanThere is no real Khan, its a fictional show.
>>98353332Pretty sure these extended art promos are commander cards because why the fuck would they print sad robot in standard
>>98354030real khan will probably have multiple actual cards, jewjew abraham version getting this meme treatment is fitting
>>98354040Wrong, retard.
>>98354040>Xe doesn't know Star Trek is a documentary from the future.ngmi

Childhood is thinking paypigging (vintage, legacy, piss, modern) formats are good.Adulthood is realizing pauper is the only good format.Cuckoldry is u ironically playing memedern, pioqueer and so on.Sorry to truke.
>>98354239Ascendancy is knowing Magic is not worth playing at all.
>>98354248>Still here instead of throwing romans and killing JewsYep! Cuckold.
>>98354239>Adulthood is realizing pauper is the only good format.
How did Coldsnap have so many kino cards, some of them still useful today?
>>98354270Where are green and white cards?
>>98354239>playing any format that wotc can nuke on a whimSorry friend, kitchen table is the only magic left, some would argue it was the only magic there ever was
>>98354284I'm not sure I'm recalling this correctly but I believe the overall response to kamigawa block made them reconsider a lot of design choices, they decided to get more creative and pursue more open ended designs through the second half of the 2000s
>>98354372>taps protection from instants sign
>>98354284I played during Coldsnap release. Set was ASS. We just came from peak magic with the Ravnica block and got this garbage. Nobody who played during Ice Age played during that time and the power level sucked so hard. The fact that Counterbalance+Top crippled Legacy due to slow play didnt help either.
>>98354414>peak magic>RavnicaJust because you have autism and need to categorize and codify every color combination does not make the set good.
>>98354440Yes it does.
>>98354045Sad robot is already in standard it was printed in foundations.
>>98352885>Was good with fetches and shocks>He doesn't remember midrange with 3 fucking colors creating the most braindead archetype in the format for years>He doesn't remember domain control being 100% of control decks
>>98354452yeah but why would they reprint it in a set
>>98354440>I have to be contrarian for the sake of itsad
>>98354469Are you really asking why the magic the gathering star trek set with autographed cards has a reprint in it? That red card says play promo so its probably just for the prerelease events.
>>98354483Fuck you Mark and fuck your color theory horseshit, you ruined Magic game design with that autism.
>>98353980I see her at pioneer FNM regularly, she's pretty popular among my group, but I don't know if that's representative.

>>98354524Every card over 1 year old must be reprinted until its value drops below $1. This rule applies retroactively and in perpetuity (so if a card's price goes back above $1, it must be reprinted again).

>>98354779>>98354784Shortsighted idiots. There wouldn't be UB without EDH.
>>98354832I know you don't want to admit this, but there would be no MtG today without EDH
>>98354524Make Wizards accelerateBurn it all down
>>98354524>If a Genie gives you a single wish for 2027 but must be Magic: The Gathering related, what do you ask for?Taimanin UB.
>>98354859Consider the following: Monster Girl Quest UB.
>>98354832>deleting a fan format because suits are fireselling customer good willNo
>>98354844There's no MTG today, only EDH. Idiot.
>>98354902Suits already taken over your fan format. Idiot.
>>98354524UB is now restricted to its own format, which WotC must always treat as secondary and less important than non-UB formats.ORMy specific autistic list of tribal retcons is implemented, including the death of "kindred/typal." Any sloptuber who uses those terms dies instantly.ORThe Mending is retconned and every set Time Spiral and up is banned as it has no longer happened (Lorwyn is reprinted without the Walker cards). The story reboots with a new telling of Time Spiral that doesn't fuck up the cosmology (no walker nerf, no nuphyrexia, etc). This would be easy first pick except I'd feel bad about losing Alara and many Time Spiral cards.
>>98353456MH1 had astrolabe fucking things up a bit, sure. It had hoggak (commander card) dominating the format and a few other retarded stuff that once banned the format recovered.I remember the following cards becoming problems after wards tho:footfalls, thanks to shardless agent and other shit.Ephemerate, thanks to evoke elementals and other etb bullshit.Plague Engineer, later became a sideboard but in early days was a bit opressive.Pyromancer, was the shit for a while, but again, powercreeped out.Urza, after the bans and some unbans became part of combo but was not as broken as other stuff.yawg, later on became part of a combo.w&6, was oppressive at first but eventually people started to play in favor of more retarded shit.All in all I think the FIRE now is more harmful to the format than MH1 ever was (except Hogaak).>>98354284The power of drugs and middle aged "young" designers who wanted to make strange shit. Yeah, the set was fun to play, but because basic snow lands were hard to find on boosters or even the theme decks (those were great, with Ice Age reprints) most people ignored it. (the theme decks were great tho)>>98354464>>He doesn't remember midrange with 3 fucking colors creating the most braindead archetype in the format for yearsJund was ok, it was a hard match up for most decks but it was a fair deck.>>He doesn't remember domain control being 100% of control decksWhen? You mean with Astrolabe? I remember it becoming a shit fest with Eldraine because people could play the flying snake then play Oko the next turn. They banned Astrolabe and people continued to play the other cards.
>>98354916UB is still worse. Lick a dick, newfag.
>>98354524Make all UB cards spontaneously combust about 2.5 hours after their owners fall asleep tonight, murdering their owners and their families in the process.

>>98354741what did my Aunt did to you?she is a nice old lady
>>98354832This. UB would never have been a thing without the proliferation of EDH. EDH as its own standalone format is fine (Magic has a ton of formats that see play), but the problem is that it encompasses the entirety of the product and wholly guides it in all areas.
>>98354979UB is because EDH. Idiot.
EDH is the root of everything that's wrong with the game nowadays since UB to the awful and boring nowadays design, everything is UB-oriented. Nothing coukd be more beneficial for Magic: The Gathering than the complete obliteration of EDH.
>>98354832Citation needed
>>98355125Commander 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.

>>98355074wizards making cards specifically for edh was a disaster, the true beginning of the end. they should have NEVER made cards that skipped standard, let alone modern. new cards with the modern frame that aren't part of modern simply make no sense and were the first sign that the rot was setting in.
Prices of Magics cards have been skyrocketing lately. Is it a good idea to buy some staples now before they start reaching the $100's?

why does rosewater keep talking about all these supposed surveys that prove that so few people hate UB without actually releasing the results of said surveys?
>>98355338they are the "market research surveys" that are intentionally like 25 minutes long to fill out, that tell you "we don't need your answers" if you have not bought the set they are asking about or have "low interest or knowledge of" the set in question.>Go out to interview people>Ask "do you know much about football?">Reject anyone who says no and only collect interviews from the people who say yes>Our survey shows 95% of the public likes football!
>>98355338>why does rosewater keep talking about all these supposed surveys that prove that so few people hate UB without actually releasing the results of said surveys?For the same reason they only advertise surveys in places that UB is popular:The servants of Satan exist only to destroy.
>>98355086UB is a result of a trend in all media, not the result of a fan made format. You act like magically having 60 cards in your deck would have saved you from management, you are a fool and I shan't be replying further.
>>98355338It's the sales they use to justify UB, I don't think they give a shit about the surveys other than tracking how old the people are filling them out and when they claim to have started playing to track growth of customers

>>98355406Extremely based and correct
>>98355592>It is what it is.That being miserable for everybody.
This man has UBs on the pipeline until AT LEAST 2030. And soon we will know the next batch of them.
Is vanilla control just dead in current standard? Was looking around and everything is some specific value engine strat
>>98355161a card game based on yugioh would be kino.
>>98355621Pretty sure this weekend is only UW announcements
>>98355688What is the point of announcing UB sets on a different day
Paupah players do you have any ideas for this?https://moxfield.com/decks/7SVxvF4NX06N7qNLbSIlCw
>>98355710That way they can spend all their budget on the UB sets!
>>98355632The creature cards are characters in the show (Legendary Creature - Human Duelist x 50, Yugi however transforms into a Legendary Creature - Human Spirit Duelist). All of the "duelist" class creatures have italicized named abilities named after their ace monsters. However there would also be ace monsters as creature cards, which are also legendaries even though they're named "Dark Solicitor" and "Horn Beast" and stuff. The instants sorceries and enchantments represent things that happen in the show, but there would be cards for a few notable spell cards, namely Pot of Greed which has the flavor text "Pot of Greed allows me to draw two cards from my deck!" except that the card itself does a little more than that since they have to make it a better Divination that doesn't cost 2 mana. The "trap" type will return only so that people can say "you activated my trap card!" they won't work the way trap instants originally worked. The artifacts are the millennium items and also duel disks and stuff.Also due to a deal with Konami they have to do the thing where the art is heavily censored outside of Japan for no reason whatsoever. They use this as an opportunity to make cards for funny meme moments in the dub, like when those guys threatened Kaiba by pointing at him.
>>98355710Build hype / delay anti-hype
>>98355626>Is vanilla control just dead in current standard?I think so, I can't come up with a reason to play some form of vanilla control when you can easily play the jeskai black deck
>>98355710Maybe they saw the shitstorm last year from revealing turtles, marvel, hobbit, and slop trek.
>>98354030They said all Movieverse cards are stuck in the Bonus sheet.
>>98355710Avoid this.This singlehandedly turned me into an Arena only player last year.
>>98355710gives them more time to build hype and expectation, UB sets are fundamentally one big ad campaign and you don't want to blow your load early
>>98355803>2027>Marvel again>Boomer bait again>Irrelevant IP againFuture looks grim and I don't need a cristal ball to know it.
>>98355803>7 standard setsLMAO
>>98355850They're going to do four more marvel sets whether they're popular or not. They need to do the rest of the infinity stones to really milk the marvel whales building their edh decks.
>>98355867>4They can make 5 with the final one having the gauntlet...
I do wonder how the money flows for UB. Does the UB pay for the advertising? Or does MtG pay for the licensing? Wish I knew the arrangements.
>>98355904>Does the UB pay for the advertising? Or does MtG pay for the licensing?WotC pays a ~$100,000 to $250,000 licensing fee (Rough industry standard) for every UB set. Some smaller IPs (Ass Creed maybe) might be as log as 10k but fees that low would be rare.
>>98355850If I had to guess, it’ll be X-men, Dark Souls/Elden Ring and something niche. Probably something to do with Brandon Sanderson, since they seem to love to work with him.
>>98354270A lot of these are sideboard cards retard.
>>98355935>DS or ERLOLLMAO evenNo way they will make collabs with something so popular.
>>98355939
>>98355950Lord of the rings is multitudes more popular than either
>>98354270snacker is not surviving another year in pauper if you ask me
>>98353332>"munitions enthusiast"Finally learning their lesson about naming UB cards so they can be reprinted in future sets!>type is klingonFUCK
>>98355729All in all, would be based
>>98356010No deck in the top 8 of paupergeddon played it, that surely bought her some time
>>98356052>that surely bought her some timeexactly, I think that time is around a year, give or take another broken set with broken commons randomly getting introduced
Sneaky Snackers are based and Im tired of pretending theyre not.Modern horizons did nothing wrong
>>98356075>Modern horizons did nothing wrongif that's true then where's my MH4? MH3 is already 2 years old
>>98356086Sorry but we replaced MH4 with MSHThx for understanding
>>98356092NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pioneer Horizons when?
Tiny Leaders Horizons when?
Commander Hori....oh

>>98356128I like how these spoilers have slowly devolved into a list of generic abilities that go in every set.
are my boys still meta? that's a lot of mana
>>98356128>more Sagas
>>98356128Please tell me we got some good food cards for pauper cauldron familiar.
>>98356128seems boring
>>98356128>the biggest Bear we’ve ever printedA 9/9 bear
>>98356161It's going to be a 5/5 followed by a Bluesky post of "we forgot about that one"
>>98356161no no, that's a Phyrexian Bear Rhino. They just said biggest bear.
>>98356128>a bunch of Dwarf typal cardsthis is REALLY good for the pioneer magda deck that pops up once in a blue moon>a mechanic from The Lord of the Rings returns with one small changethe ring tempts you? >“you may pay {0} rather than pay the equip cost of the first equip ability you activate each turn.”forge anew reprint?
>>98356128>• the biggest Bear we’ve ever printedThat's gonna be transforming Beorn.
>>98356128>“Whenever a player loses life, that player mills that many cards,”we are so fucking back
>>98356128>Down, Down to Goblin-townI'll be pissed if this isn't a good card
>>98356130next year, probably

>>98356130Wasn't it the first LotR set?
>>98355333Ive always preferred fantasy nouns and proper nouns remain untranslated. Tolkien's letter on the subject is fully correct.
>>98356345Yes. But what I mean is, I want to go back to the era when translation debate was between fans arguing on IRC, rather than "why should corpo localisers be allowed to officially damage the script and art?"it's like how I was fine with dumb personally-created custom cards, but I hate official UB.If Fansub Group A decides to make a weird political statement in their translation of Jubei the Ninja Girl: Secret of the Lovely Eyepatch in 2004 that's one thing, but if it's "official" that sucks.
>>98356141yes, Namor made them playable againhttps://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7857985#online
>>98356302Amass Goblins is probably the safest bet, although The Ring Tempts You came to mind first for me. I feel it's more likely to be a guest mechanic on a small number of cards instead.
>>98354524I wish Jace fucking dies and every other planeswalker high fives over his corpse
>>98356128>typal
>>98356551Yes. You can only call it a tribal deck if it contains a majority of Aboriginal Australian creatures, otherwise it's just Sparkling Typal.
>>98356128>a card with affinity for ElvesWaffle House3ArtifactAffinity for ElvesCreatures you control attack each turn if ableWhenever one or more creatures you control attack, draw a card
cant wait for the based dand of dwarves singing misty mountain card!
Ready for some Dwarves.
I used "ninjas" as an euphemism too many times now whenever someone talks about the archtype in magic I immediately start smiling like a dorkfuck my chud life
>>98356663just switch to wood elves
>>98353325Okay /fit/ you also forgot to mention that you only jerk off to buff men to imprint your ideal body shape.
Bets on which hobbit character they turn black? I think Bard is getting the swap.
>>98356804None. Screencap this.
>>98356804they'll make the bear black
Absolutely nothing about the hobbit sounds interesting.
>>98356892Are you telling me you don't want to bust packs for a chance at securing a reprint of beloved Magic: the Gathering staple, The One Ring(tm)?
