Agreed. I'm growing tired of "rule of cool" design though. Every damn thing in fantasy these days has to be this ungodly abomination of epic bangles and dangles. Never once does it manage to be more interesting than the actual folkloric creature it's emulating.

I actually just looked through Merfolk and I think it's literally just Lorwyn and Dominaria where they ALWAYS have no legs, Theros and Eldraine where they SOMETIMES don't, and everywhere else they just always do.
>>
>>98365368
Honestly it looks bad with the current political paradigm no matter how the approach is, if they have a white person evil then everyone will notice. If they have blacks killing blacks….welp this shows what actually happened and is happening currently. Blacks kill other blacks by the droves. Even more so considering the slave trade was also facilitated due to the losers from other tribes being put into servitude and sold off. It’s kind of funny how they painted themselves into this. You already have people crying on reddit about racists. Bunch of retards.

Also the third issue of the Jace comic came out, let's see if it's still not very interesting. Summary and all that for anybody who cares.
>Jace is too stuck in his own head while Vraska is getting him away from the dangerous dinosaurs
>They just planeswalk away, so this is pre-MOM I guess, and to Vryn, which feels weird
>Jace gets back to remembering
>Back in his memory, he's about to fall into a Shivan volcano, but Tezz saves him because, y'know, Jace IS still useful
>Tezz doesn't really explain much but says a lot of lives are at stake here
>Meanwhile, Squee and Adeliz are climbing up a Shivan mountain and two of their expedition are snatched up be a hellkite
>Tezz and Jace meet up with a crazy old man on the mountain rambling about his god in the mountain and those who die meeting said god
>Tezz ignores him and tries to step through, but the crazy dude pulls a knife, and eventually Tezz kicks him off the mountain
>Jace feels guilty, because y'know, he does that
>Squee and Adeliz enter the same cave through a secret entrance Squee remembers
>In the present, Jace says the cavern smelled like death and decay on a grand scale
>Tezz and Jace in the memory come upon a bunch of undead of various types, and Jace can't do much to zombies so Tezz has to carry
>But then Adeliz saves the day with a big fire spell, then declares she's not letting them have the Sylex, because she wants to take it to Tolaria
>In the present, Jace and Vraska discuss Adeliz a bit, because she could be kind of an ally if need be
>In the memory, arguments break out, Tezzeret disintegrates Squee
>Jace is about to mind-blast Adeliz before something unseen interrupts, we end on a cliffhanger who talks like a snake

>Kamigawa Titanbreach
gotta be honest this idea doesn't feel well thought out unless they're willing to exclude a lot of what made ikoria and neon dynasty interesting, from memory
NEO had ninjutsu, ninjas, samurais, artifact/enchantment matters, channel, vehicles and sagas
IKO had mutate, creature spells matters, cycling, humans vs non-humans and wedge factions
they can get away with not putting a lot of those in the set, but if the end product ends up being humans vs non-humans + vehicles and sagas, it's not gonna feel very good
>Zhalfir
I don't have any emotional connection to the plane, I just know it's teferi's home and it got phased out at some point, I'm worried it ends up being "wakanda, but magic" so I'm just hoping the spirits part of the set gets a chance to shine

overall an improvement over 2026, I did not care for return to strixhaven and reality fracture is not looking good since the alternate universe theme has to be shoved into another strixhaven set, the eary basically started and ended with lorwyn eclipsed

New evasion mechanic is something I'm really looking forward to, actually
I doubt it'll become evergreen like Flying, but I also hope it won't be gimmicky like Shadow.
In a way, it's basically impossible for a "true combat keyword" to become evergreen, as they would need to somehow make it interact in interesting ways with 20+ years of creatures, in the same way Reach interacts with Flying, so most new keywords are just slight variations on pre-existing stuff (like that Turtles keyword that was just a slightly different Ninjutsu)
What's even the latest combat-based keyword we got? Decayed and Mobilize?

well first of all, why not?
but also it actually makes perfect sense in the story and I'm not kidding.
there was a country (continent?) that was basically just subsaharan Africa called Zhalfir. Just like the real Africa, it had black people and zebras and lions and shit. then that country (?) got sucked into a time vortex. then it popped back out of the time vortex at the end of March of the Machines and they killed all of the phyrexians in New Phyrexia, so basically they're just a country (?) of niggers living in what used to be Mirrodin. and I guess they just renamed the plane after themselves, too.

oh I see.
they should have just jammed Zhalfir awkwardly into Mirrodin, FFV-style, rather than replacing it entirely. that would be a fun before-and-after of the kind we used to get from blocks.
in fact... maybe they did do that?? the trailer mentions the five suns so I think those are still in play.

Zhalfir lowkey has the potential to be the best set of the year

Lost Caverns of Ixalan was heavily "cultural consultant"ed, but the set was actually BETTER for it because the dude they had running the show was a real one who gave a shit and not just a diversity hustler. Based on some of the concept art and the fact that Zhalfir is overlaying where Mirrodin used to be, there is a lot of potential for a good set.

I will be cackling when there's no white people in it and woke double standards become even more obvious to anybody who genuinely cares about a colorblind society. (For the record, I don't WANT white people on Zhalfir any more than I want black people on Kamigawa)

To be fair I think having an entire set/plane to work with will yield better results than the "some knights show up" deus ex machina we got in March of the Machine.

no one cares but I've got time to kill, so just to prove that one Kaldheim idiot in the last thread wrong: there are a total of 23 cards that depict any kind of nonwhite person in the entire set of Kaldheim. six of them are about foreign planeswalkers (Kaya and Niko). everyone else is either white or a monster that ethnicity doesn't apply to (a nonhuman monster, a decaying zombie, etc.). so yes, you whiny dumb fuck, almost everyone in Kaldheim is white. maybe now you can start forming actually informed opinions instead of fearing the woke boogeyman who's coming to take your dick away or whatever

detailed breakdown:

>white: 4 (Valor of the Worthy, Kaya's Onslaught*, Reidane, Resplendent Marshal)
>blue: 4 (Cosima, Frost Augur, Saw It Coming, Behold the Multiverse*)
>black: 2 (Dogged Pursuit*, Hailstorm Valkyrie)
>red: 4 (Birgid, Breakneck Berserker, Frost Bite, Run Amok)
green: 4 (Blessing of Frost, Boreal Outrider, Elvish Warmaster, Jorn)
multi: 5 (Ascent of the Worthy, Kaya*, Koll, Niko*, Niko Defies Destiny*)

Wokeshit is the reason it was greenlit, but that doesn't mean it can't be good. There's great "Murica good" action movies from the 80s during the cold war, playing into the themes of the current day doesn't mean it's automatically shit.

Of my count there are 82-ish cards in which you can classify the characters by race (I ignored zombies, shapeshifters, most giants, etc..)
Nonwhites that I included that you didn't
>White:
Righteous Valkyrie, Starneheim Unleashed, Search for Glory (features Niko) are unambiguously non-white.
I personally think that Master Skald, Story Seeker and Spectral Steel are non-white but I recognize that the lighting is such that I may be mistaken.
>Blue:
Alurand in general looks black but especially on Strategic Planning. Brinebarrow Intruder could be ambiguous but seems non-white to me as well.
>Black
Deathknell Berserker (elf)
>Green
Kolvori (Asian)
Sculptor of Winter (Asian)

That brings the total up to 35 which is still less than half of the set but a higher number than what I believe is appropriate for the setting.

pretty sure resplendent marshal is a white woman.
counting ones that might be poc but it's kind of hard to tell due to the lighting (and you included resplendent so I figure this is the bar), you missed:
>righteous valkyrie
>search for glory*
>starnheim unleashed
>brinebarrow intruder
>tergrid
>kolvori (looks east asian to me bro)

so that would bring us to 28 or 29, or 22 not counting the diversity squad planeswalkers. which might sound like a small number for a set with 260 nonlands. but frankly the non-insulting number here, and the number I expect Zhalfir to have, is zero. and then the question is how many white people are actually depicted? you might think it's over 200 but most of the set is (laugh if you want but it's true) racially ambiguous demons, zombies, giants, spirits, and non humanoids. by my count there's about 70 cards that definitely depict white humanoids and zero PoC so it's probably like. 75% white people? not quite what I would call "almost everyone". it's a lot closer to "modern day USA racial demography" than "everyone"

but for me that's not even the strangest thing about Kaldheim. it's the distinct lack of Nordic features. everybody knows what a nord looks like. everybody knows what a "viking" looks like. try going to the Wikipedia page for "valkyrie", see for yourself how many ruddy-skinned, dark-haired women are depicted in the artwork on that page. yet less than half of the *white* humanoids in Kaldheim are depicted with blonde hair and blue eyes.
very noticeable!

Anyway I'd be surprised if Zhalfir has even one character that isn't black, excepting planeswalkers. Maybe a few Mirran refugees will be depicted.

It does when the "themes of the current day" are a racial spoils system that rewards incompetence and drives away anyone with actual talent.

nuKamigawa is a great plane in its own right. Tetsuo and friends was 1200 years ago, get with the times gramps. Hopefully we see old Kamigawa in a Modern Horizons-style set someday

>>98367106
desu seems like a great idea; Kamigawa and Ikoria are both beloved settings with mixed-viewed mechanics. Combining the two into something greater than the sum of their parts an excellent idea. Kamigawa purists will of course be disappointed, as this is leaning more into the future elements than the past elements of Kamigawa.

Titanbreach is also easily the most interesting thing they've done with omenpaths thus far. Also, may be good or bad, but someone on the Ikoria side is definitely responsible for sending the kaiju there. I hope it's not so boring that it's just evil WB humans behind it again, I'd rather see someone cool like Tezzeret get involved.

Daily reminder that Premodern is prospering, while the rest of Magic is dying. Premodern games are fun and engaging, while new Magic games are tedious and outright awful. Premodern artwork is awe-inspiring and soulful, while the artwork of new Magic cards is mass-produced soulless garbage. Premodern is a closed system and no one can ever take it away from us, while new Magic is a deplorable mess with constant bans and new broken cards. You can buy Premodern cards now and be sure that in several years they will still be worth something. You can buy new Magic cards now and be sure that you just wasted your money on stuff that won't be worth anything in only a few years.

Makes sense when you think about it. Everything is going to be human with "magical" features. I mean, how many non-anthropomorphic planewalkers have they made. Plus if they don't have legs. They be very limited on where they can bring them back on. (I mean they might get away if they make them swim in the air in other planes and all.)
>>
>>98367943
Isn't Premodern one of the most expensive formats in MTG right now?
>>
>>98365649
Come on you know why.
Funny enough bet that's going to be the biggest flop of the year.

The only way that place will work is if they had the "White Man" in it. So unless they have another plane invade via the paths or something like with the "Titanbreach" It's just going to be a circle jerk of "Wokekanda."

>>98367785
this is one of the hexhaven schools. futurehold, or something
>>
>>98368005
Yeah, for that reason. People want to play classic magic, over fags & fetishes.

If it wasn't for Final Fantasy and LOTR breaking records. MTG would be in major trouble. I think the Hobbit was so they could get that second wave of much needed profits as we seen Spider-man, TMNT, Dr. Who all fail to produce much.

Mirage is still my favorite set of all time. When I saw the cards and the cool artwork as a child, I was immediately entranced. It was an Africa-centric set, but without the political interference. Nobody was counting the number of black or white people on the cards. This new set will be an abomination.
>>
>>98368057
>what's the chance we actually get an eva thing

If Secret Lair qualifies as a "thing"? 30%
Chance of it being good? 0%
Chance of it being good if it's an actual set? Probability mathematics can't accurately represent things that are so beyond impossible.
NGE has the same problem Turtles had where the actual cast in the show is WAY too small for a set, and the fact that the most important characters are sexy underage girls is pure poison for the type of miserable "people" infesting WotC these days.
>>
>>98368077
hey two of the most important characters are also sexy underage BOYS
and one of age sexy girl
but wotc is beyond desperate for jp market and eva is like the biggest jp collab whore, so going with one of the biggest western whores would make sense
>>
>>98368057
To be fair. I think both of them will work out as make their money back if not add some funds into WOTC account. However doubt Black Fantasy will. It be the classic talk about about it but no one will really buy it. Though they might make some Broken cards or reprint cards that are OP to sell the set. Though I am guessing it be the classic "Think of how many lives this is going to save." BS they love to push.

it's ok there's a small chance the UB shit will have good art
and mecha kamigawa might, at least the robot part
>>
>>98368117
The whole point of Mecha Kamigawa was to add non-japanese people into the plane. Watch the set after that will be black Samurai and non-Japanese themes thrown in cause "Ikoria" was merged in.
>>
>>98368117
The two other UW will knock it out of the park im willing to bet that but on the same page the UB shit will be so hideous it will drain any hype and momentum those sets achieve to spark in people (and by people i mean non-cummander zombie coonsomers)

no fuck you, bullshit, bull fucking shit. fuck this "oh what about the real world and the space race" strawman standard of time progression. the double standards for how much a plane does or doesn't change in large spans of time are ludicrous
tarkir gets not one but two spans of 1200 years where nothing fucking happens except the dominant paradigm
lorwyn gets to spend untold thousands of years in werewolf mode before they merge the demiplanes together
ravnica gets to spend 10000 years in eternal guild wars hell because they were didn't have planeswalkers to fuck with them
and oh by the way, here's a plane called dominaria that just gets into apocalypses again and again for 25000 years and never advances
and yet i'm supposed to believe after the spirit wars ended the fractuous kamigawan plane just all got together and had an industrial revolution?
i say no to this double standards shit
no
like you're yelling at a dog that won't stop shitting the carpet
no
you could argue that doug beyer was an imperfect lore curator but ever since his departure wotc as only proved how he was the only one keeping the premise of the game from becoming more and more worthless
spend years building up threats to wipe them away in a single set
introduce new sets that have no chance to establish a story structure because the one set is all they planned for
bring back old characters just to throw them away to get rid of other old characters
change the nature of entire planes and never effectively elaborate how or why
devalue the naure of the multiverse entirely by making it both easily traversable by any old retard via portal
spend eons with worthless characters you already missed the boat with and that have nothing to talk about but just keep having to be brought back for a throughline

They mentioned that thanks to the five suns Zhalfir has no day-night cycle which presumably wasn't the case before.

I do hope the matter of the Mirran refugees comes up. And hopefully there's some addressing the cultural paradigm shift the Zhalfirin must feel after their entire society dedicated itself to defeating Phyrexia, because now that's done, and where they go from there should be worth exploring.

mirrodin is a artificial plane. the suns formed from its mana tlrl. the suns would not work if mirrodin just went away, just like if you have a enchantment on your opponents land and they concede. your mana link is gone. theres other lore reasons it doesnt work- but thats nothing new for the cluster fuck middle finger to lore they have been doing since bradywalkers so whatever.

>>
>>98368643
The speakers emphasized ancestral connection and the spiritual realm a lot in the presentation, so there might be something vaguely like voodoo in the culture. Don't expect to see shrunken huds and animal sacrifice in the set, though. WotC toned down any depiction of those sorts of elements a lot over the past decade or so.
