>tqFirst for Light-paws!
>>98463726My favorite legendary is lady orca.Why? Funny.
Satyrs should be Temur rather than just Gruul. Fight me.
>>98463902Perhaps Centaurs (Chiron was teacher of Achilles, Jason, Asclepius, Perseus, and Meleager) but not Satyrs.
>>98463988Centaurs teach civilization (white), satyrs teach knowledge (blue). Centaurs are selesnya/naya, while satyrs are gruul and as I argue, Temur.
>>9846372630 years later and these niggers are still stone unplayable. Absolute legends. I mean homelands.
>>98464001Damn, AIs are getting frighteningly good with making custom cards.
>What's your favorite legendary creature?Now and forever, it remains Avacyn, Angel of Hope.
>>98464034So you posted slop. Congratulations? My point is that centaurs have consistently been in green, with extensions into white on Theros and Ravnica and, less often, into red also mainly on Ravnica.Meanwhile Satyrs have been exclusively green and red, with the issue being that they’re more than just what we’ve seen- they’re culturally also fauns and fae in a way that centaurs never categorically all. A satyr teaching in a school or in civilization makes no sense, and despite their pranks being black doesn’t fit them (they’re not malicious enough), and so being tertiary in blue fits the cultural trope of satyrs rather than just ‘elemental man’.
>>98464034More so that wizards has been using slop art for years so you're used to it
>>98463862More like Heavy-Boobs!
>>98464127I mean entire card was generated by AI, not only illustration. Right shape of frame with hologram, colours in correct order (tricky for wedges), orange for mythic rare, readable copyright note (!)...
>>98463899>not a lady>not an orcaThat is funny.
>>98464034Oh if we're just posting slop now then I'm not going to not post this.
>>98464217That's exactly why it's funny
Kikes hate White
>>98464778Can i get a QRD here?
>even Reddit is laughing at how shitty the Star Trek set itStar-Trek-will-save-Magic-bros, did we get too cocky?
>>98464067Satyrs are know for raping women and nymphs; They even practiced bestiality Jund seems its best match.
UW>UB
>>98465012>>98465007>>98465003>>98464999Star Trek spoilers?
EoE is a much cooler scifi set than Star Trek.Honestly I expected star trek to at least bring back the station mechanic
>>98465003That is a really cool design for a lesbian necromancer in space.
>>98465074EoE just looks like Endless Space to me half the time
>>98464999that's not even mtg
>>98465201:^)
>>98464999>>98465217oh dearoh nooh dear
>>98465232
I stopped playing a while ago but I overheard a convo where people were getting really mad about the mystery booster thing, what'd they do this time
>>98465232Earth is canon in UW?
>>98465270worse!Brazil is canon in UW
>>98465266some new grudges to add to OP?
Magic is dead, Jim.
>>98465345>Magic is deadUmmm, I think you meant Magic is saved, chud.
>>98465232I shopped out the WOTC logo, I'll make it better
>>98465266my guess is the exclusivity to conventions. like previous MBs but this time they have mechanically unique cards
>>98464127>>98464067>muh slop You're right, Irencrag Pyromancer and Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy are much more "soul" and "kino"
>>98465574what's the lore reason for it gaining 1+/+1 and untappingif you're gonna make "cute" meme cards you need to at least think them through
>>98465586Why did you post a picture of a liberal?
>>98465574...NIGGER
>>98465595In case you didn't notice the cards are being filled out with a LLM
>>98465595just shut up and consume product, then prepare to consume next product goy
>>98465574I'M A DOCTOR NOT A PHYREXIAN PRAETOR
>>98465574Is this the first card in magic history to have a swear word?
>>98465574make it white and give it>Target creature you control becomes a doctor and has "T, target player gains 1 life" until end of turn or alternatively remove the "you control" and have it lose all other creature types/abilities until EOT
Which the new rules change on mana abilities, would the eggs effect be doubled with Ashnod out?
>>98465732"damn" is not a swear you christ sucking puritan
>>98465732Just searching flavor text with the word "damn" in scryfall brings up ~20 results, though most are about damnation or "the damned." I'm not sure if those count but there's still a few others.
>>98465586Or, theyre both shit. It's not either or, anon.
>>98464807Whiteschizo claims there is a jewish scheme to undermine the MtG color white, and make it deliberately weaker than other colors. If you point out top decks with white in them, he claims it doesn't count because they aren't mono white. If they are mono white, he claims it doesn't count because it's "fake white." If you persist he'll start calling you a kike and melting down about palestine. It's very silly.
>>98465751You lost.
>>98465586It's so funny how personally attacked you feel whenever someone criticizes UB.
>>98465752Ah yes thats definitely a swear word. >>98465751This is a spiritual use here not a swear. >>98465736I actually had to look this up. Ashnod should double the effects because any effect that moves a card to or from a library is no longer a mana ability.
>>98464305Lol
>>98465767Sounds based to me
>>98465574where is my "gain 3 life"?
>>98465063No. That space stuff looks kinda like Destiny with the serial numbers filed off. The trek set looks like this (spoilered for those who don't wanna look upon hideousness)
Take the Planar Standard pill. Even Mark said they will support it, if it gets popular.
>>98465843I don't want them to fucking support it
>>98464807Obvious bait you have there, beaner.
>>98465843Premodern is better.Make the right choice.
>>98465829>KhaaaaaaaaanSeriously? Was necessary to name a card like this? Is so fucking stupid...
>>98465886t. UB consumer
>>98465898Ummm based
>TRK release>Empty LGS events, all product untouched on shelves.>MaRo post: Numbers for TRK are great. We will keep making UB as long as there is demand. Don't like it don't buy it.>doesn't matter if 9/10 UB sets fail, as long as 1/10 is a FFMTG is the most cucked hobby
>>98466002The real offensive part about this is when this faggot has the balls to literally drive away a big part of their customer with an extreme message like: "If you don't like UB, you can fuck off"I really hope in the long term he has the chance to eat his own words.
>>98466024>I really hope in the long term he has the chance to eat his own words.I know it reads like copium but I really feel like it's inevitable, even if it will take a decade or better. They're literally building their current model on being unsustainable, deliberately focusing on people that trickle in and out and telling their core audience to piss off. That kind of thing never works out in the long run. I doubt they'll ever shutter but I firmly believe you're eventually gonna see MTG become a distant third to pokemon and yugioh or maybe even fourth if one of those other games like I dunno FaB or One Piece manage to get enough of a hold.
>>98466024the whole problem is that people who play magic are not>a big part of their customer [base]collector pigs spend 10x because they use their time working and buying cards. they don't waste time on magic like us.
>>98466060...on PLAYING magic like us(typo/samefag)
>>98465829Who are the characters behind Picard meant to beGilgamesh and Enkidu?
>>98465902I think this card is genuinely what crushed the last vestige of trekkie from my souland man I grew up watching TNG and DS9, enjoyed TOS reruns, played mediocre trek vidya like the anniversary point and click, overlooked the writing being shit in half of VOY because I was a teen and seven was hot.My love of trek had been worn down by everything JJ made and every trek TV series since then, but this is the straw. This is what exploded my camel's vertebrae.
>>98466024Why do you assume the collapse of UB will save Magic rather than causing it to return to its current endless cycle of B plot buildups to nothingburgers and hit-or-miss planes that they will repeatedly reference without developing?
>>98465733>>98465574Make it so that it can't do whatever it was it was trying to do.>Remove target attacking or blocking creature from combat. Untap it. Until end of turn it becomes a doctor. You gain 2 life.A more faithful version might be something like 'counter target activated ability from a creature source, untap that creature, it becomes a doctor' but that seems somewhat too niche and clunky.
>>98465736>new rules change on mana abilitiesFuck sake. What a completely unnecessary change that the majority of players won't understand. This will literally only benefit angle shooters and I'm positive that cards that were intended to double activated abilities that were not mana abilities will interact in some unforseen and broken way somewhere.
>>98465773Eh, you know me, always wearing a red hat and eating beef jerky.
>>98466254Players already don't know how fucking Dress Down works. Fixing an infamous blind spot in the rules that only exists on few cards is not an issue.
>>98466124NTA but I'm fine with that. In retrospect the hit-or-miss planes were more than enough to make more Jacetice League folderol more palatable UB Miku Hatsune and UB Final Fantasy.Honestly if there's one good thing I can say about UB it's that it has made us re-evaluate the good of MtG's homegrown lore and stop focusing so much on the fuckups.
Hello fellow chuds. With the upcoming Ban and Restricted announcement on the 10th, I thought I'd go over some of the cards on the list that could be options to unban.In recent years, WotC has done a pretty good job on managing the ban list in Modern, one of the few bright points in recent years. Not only that but they've taken very bold action with unbanning very powerful cards like Outburst, Opal and Looting. With that in mind, let's get started at the top with lower power level cards and work our way up.Bad -Blazing ShoalEverything Infect wants to do is already done better by Prowess. And Shoal pollutes your deck with uncastable red cards, making a bad deck even worse. Punishing FireBroodscale plays Grove and Rumble and even that deck would probably rather play Unholy Heat than PFire. Maybe there is something there but it's really doesn't line up very well against most decks in the format. Birthing PodBirthing Ritual does it (mostly) better and isn't vulnerable to Needle and make you lose a ton of life and is just cheaper overall. Yes, you can combo with specific cards but it does it so slowly and so costly that it's not worth playing. Playing a bunch of bricks like Kiki-Jiki that suck when you draw them is a real cost too. Another problem Birthing Ritual decks lack.
>>98466751Mediocre -Artifact LandsSeat of the Synod and company aren't weak cards but they line up very poorly in Modern at the moment. In effect you get slightly better game 1's but at the cost of losing even harder to Wrath effects. Another hidden cost of these cards is that Affinity runs quite a few dual lands: including artifact lands will increase inconsistency as well. One of the upsides though is that artifact lands could enable different builds of Affinity to exist, maybe. Certainly having all your permanents being Ravager food is pretty enticing.Bridge from BelowBanned to nerf Hogaak, this card has been popular in the past as a fun brew around card and never really that spooky, in Modern at least. Easy unban.Glimpse of NatureWeak card that is only good in Elves and Cheerios and only one of those decks was actually good in the past. Ironically, Glimpse wouldn't even be played now because Cantankerous Keepers is a solid beater and doesn't fold over hard to Orcish Bowmasters. HypergenesisJust a worse Living End. The deck is very inconsistent and Living End can easily put 20+ power into the GY and untap and kill you while being very consistent. Oh, and it's symmetrical. I've beat more than a few Hypergenesis players in Legacy by just dumping my hand and then killing them first.
>>98466760Good -Deathrite ShamanDRS is one best unbans because it would actually see play but also improve the metagame. It's a powerful card but it's effects are modest. Compared to a post-FIRE Modern, it is a humble card. It's not even the best one drop; it's behind Guide, Pride, Ragavan and Halfling. Maybe even Tamiyo too. It's not going to police GY very heavily as claimed by some proponents, it's too slow and vulnerable to removal for that but it does some amount of GY hating. And another surprising interaction is that DRS does NOT work with Badgermole Cub due to the way it's first ability is templated. Another strike against it being ubiquitous in Green decks. I actually quite like the card in Elves with the nice boost that deck will get with Cantankerous Keepers from the Hobbit set. DRS can actually machine gun people down pretty quickly with support from Wirewood Symbiote. That was a pretty sweet interaction in Legacy Elves back in grandpa's time. Field of the DeadGood in Titan. Good in durdly Omnath decks. Not really good anywhere else. Field doesn't solve the problems with those decks but it does help them and the card is very slow to get online. Not problematic but good enough to see a little play. Golgari Grave-TrollDredge is bad and the format isn't even slamming 4 RIP or Leyline in their boards. Not a good sign. Let people sleeve up the deck if they want. I'm not going to cry if it's becomes a playable deck and I maybe have to play 1 or 2 more hate cards. Krark-Clan IronworksAnother powerful card from Modern's recent past that also lines up very poorly against the current suite of interaction and the speed of the format in general. Bad vs all the things Affinity is in addition to GY hate. Mycosynth LatticeIt's good in Eldrazi Tron. A strong deck and Lattice ends the game immediately instead of dragging things on forever which I like. But it's hard to resolve Lattice in the first place, much less also keep Karn on board.
>>98466631Magic never stopped doing this. The next set is literally the nothingburger climax to all the B plot bullshit and it's likely the only "change" will be a return to status quo with Eldrazi and Phyrexians also escaping their permanent defeats for the second time (Bolas is on his third escape from permanent defeat)
>>98466770Very Good -Dig Through TimeDig is a very, very strong card. It's still borderline broken. But the decks that can best abuse Dig in Modern are the durdly control decks that could use a little more help. Sometimes your answers don't line up with their threats or you're unable to find a wincon in time before your opponent closes the game out with a lone creature. It helps those decks close the game faster with Chant lock, Narset + Days, Solitude, etc. which is certainly a good thing too. PonderThis could maybe be too much when paired with Dig so it might have to only be one or the other unbanned at the outset. I prefer Ponder desu even though I think it's the better card. It enables tempo decks which is generally a good thing. The bad is that it can enable decks like Neoform. Not a good thing. This one is more borderline. There are a few more cards you could consider based on purely power level, like Oko is actually worse than Uro imo and could maybe be unbanned now which seems crazy but then you remember Consign is a hell of a drug. I'd much rather get the chaff on the list, like Shoal, and some of the stronger cards before moving on to something like Oko which was miserable 6 years ago but is "fine" now. There are also a few super powerful cards that could potentially come off, namely Dark Depths. But, as above, I'd want to wait and see how the meta shakes out. There are a lot of tools to fight it but whether that would be enough to unban it is uncertain.
>>98466002You gotta wonder if they even understand why FF took off so well, or if they think they're just rolling the dice.They literally just have to pick a theme that meshes well with UW, and give cards interesting mechanics that aren't reliant on building your deck completely around that set.Spiderman: Incorrect theming, cards are just plain boring and weakTurtles: Incorrect theming, cards are strong but boringMarvel: Incorrect theming, boring cardsFallout: Incorrect theming, only interesting cards rely on set mechanicsAvatar: Decent theming but mismatched artstyle, only interesting cards rely on set mechanicsFF: Great theming (same magic/tech mix as UW), full of unusual cards that fill a lot of niches in non-FF decks
>>98466002"This product is not for you" is going to ring truer over time than WotC thinks.
>>98466751>>98466760>>98466770>>98466783I don't mind having the discussion but there is 0% chance we get any unbans next monday, they just unbanned two cards 3 months ago, the last round of unbans before that happened at the end of 2024 specifically because they wanted to shake up the meta, they're not going to unban any cards for at least another year.That all being said, I think the next cards to get unbanned are Glimpse of Nature and Mystic Sanctuary, both of them are exciting for archtypes that have long stopped being something to worry about in Modern, much like Jitte or Twin.
>>98466879Thank you for the reply anon.That said, the last unbans did basically nothing other than increase Living End's share of the meta a little bit. Glimpse would be a good unban because it's weak. Sanctuary was for the spamming of Cryptic with Uro and such. I left Sanctuary off because it's basically free in a lot of blue decks and I haven't thought too deeply about it. Cryptic Command is a non-factor in Modern but I think there might be something there but it is a good candidate to unban, I think.
the little thing that really gets my goat with UB vs UW is this They will make massive changes to the game for "readability" or "streamlining" or "it just makes sense"shit like cutting out old monster tribes and merging them together so that homarids are gonna be lobsters nowand then they will also bend those same rules or make things more complex or print wordier, uglier rules text for UB cards because "it makes the fans of that IP happy" read: the deal says they get to make demands like adding so many specific tribes that will never matter outside of one UB set.It's the double fucking standards where UB gets to shit on the game while UW gets shat on.
>>98466794I liked FF enough to make a set cube. From what I'm seeing so far with Star Trek I doubt I will. Too many diverse womyns on all the cards too.

>>98466940>That said, the last unbans did basically nothing other than increase Living End's share of the meta a little bit.I am aware, I did not mean to imply that they wouldn't do more unbans because the last ones were too impactful, I'm referencing their conservative track record of unbanning only a few cards over long periods of time and only doing so when they wanted make specific changes to the meta. In other words, the last round of unbans is still too recent and they aren't unhappy with the resulting meta being energy in tier 1 and a bunch of other tier 1.5 decks orbiting around it.>Glimpse would be a good unban because it's weak.Yes, that is my point, it would be a safe unban that would appeal to whatever Elves players managed to stick around at the fringes after all these years, much like when Twin got unbanned and a reasonable amount of people dediced to pick it up again even if it wasn't actually very competitive at the end of the day.>I left Sanctuary off because it's basically free in a lot of blue decks and I haven't thought too deeply about it.You'd basically see it as a 1-of in a lot of blue decks, the deckbuilding cost to run more than 1 copy is pretty harsh unless you're playing mono blue or only splashing a second color. I think it's one big but reasonable way you can make more people feel like playing non-energy decks.
>>98467053>I am aware, I did not mean to imply that they wouldn't do more unbans because the last ones were too impactful, I'm referencing their conservative track record of unbanning only a few cards over long periods of time and only doing so when they wanted make specific changes to the meta. In other words, the last round of unbans is still too recent and they aren't unhappy with the resulting meta being energy in tier 1 and a bunch of other tier 1.5 decks orbiting around it.I know anon. With the Opal and Looting unbans and then the Outburst unban even more recently, that they would have a better idea of what is OK and not OK in the format which is why I have higher expectations of unbans. >GlimpseBasically no cost to unban>SanctuarySlightly more problematic for unbanning but probably not an issue. The card is rather free. I think there are already a lot of reasons to play decks that aren't Energy so I don't think this really moves the needle that much. But I generally agree that it is unbannable.
>>98467084>which is why I have higher expectations of unbans.>I have higher expectations>of wizards of the coastplease avoid doing that
UNBAN OKOHE DID NOTHING WRONG
>>98467096Not that weird anon. "I expect WotC to do more of what WotC has been doing"No reason to try and blackpill people on things WotC has been doing for the last many years.
>>98467023
Does Walmart just not carry MTG any more? When I played last 6~ years ago it was a good place to pick up precons and bundles, could usually get something like a 2 year old edh precon for 50% off. Now getting back in to the game, they have literally nothing.
>>98467198Despite what the faggots on here say MtG is more popular than ever. They're probably sold out. Real MtG is basically dead. But Commander and UB are as popular as ever. Sick sad world.
I'm shit at draft. Doing Edge of Eternities.Please help. What should I add or remove?
>>98467234Shame. Was hoping to pick up some of the Lorwyn, Dragonstorm or Fallout stuff because they look good and fun, but my LGS is either out of stock or grossly overpriced. Even current shit like Marvel is over priced there.>But Commander and UB are as popular as ever.I definitely got that vibe, when I last played UB was just starting with secret lairs and commander was becoming more mainstream and attracting the normies. My local store no longer holds modern nights, which was my old go to. I got the random itch to play again and my choice was basically draft or commander. Wanted to pick up a commander deck to smash some of my draft cards in to.Also is it just me or is commander like... Weirdly competitive now? Before it was literally just "here's a pile of random cards I happen to own" now people are ordering decklists for that shit.
>>98466960>They make UW cards backwards-compatible while ensuring UB cards are not>You complain that this is UB getting the better deal
>>98466579>infamous blind spot in the rulesYou're a dumb nigger.People have more problems understanding mana abilities than they do understanding the few edge cases where mana abilities also draw you a card. Deathrite Shaman is an example of a bad blind spot because a lot of people thought it WAS a mana ability and didn't realize you can respond to it.Trying to explain to a player that you can't respond to an Elves of Deep Shadow but you can respond to a Millikin is a hassle and appears extremely unintuitive to new or casual players who barely understand what a mana ability is. The biggest issue is going to be when some bullshit synergy that allows you to copy activated abilities shows up and little Timmy doesn't understand why Spike copied his chromatic sphere but he wasn't allowed to copy his Llanowar Elves.
>>98466770KCI got banned because people took too much time playing solitaire when executing the combo. It's not going back unless it gets power crept to utter irrelevance.And I don't mean Tier 3 deck, I mean being unusably weak like Serra Angel.
>>98466783Treasure Cruise was played in mono red burn when it was legal. With how free manabases are in Modern through even 'just' shocks + fetches, UU is not a real drawback.Dig would be played by every deck that fills its graveyard and would not be best abused by durdly control decks. It would either be some graveyard related combo slop or it would be the most recent iteration of Delver/Murktide.
>>98467380Okay. I tap Selvala, Explorer Returned to cast Panglacial Wurm from my library. What happens?
>>98467397You get a warning from the judge and are told to finish the match in a timely manner.
>>98467269>Also is it just me or is commander like... Weirdly competitive now?I haven't played since 2013. From what I've seen at my LGS it's a weird mix of sweaty tryhards, someone who slapped together 99 cards they own, and unchanged precons. I think the vocaroo sums it up pretty well, it's a multiplayer game so anything can happen and supposedly anyone can win. CEDH is a joke because people work out alliances before the tournaments and give each other draws. People often win around turn 4-5 so it's not even a casual game anymore.I play my own cubes and dandan mostly now, and then that's maybe quarterly. I buy secret lairs I like. I'm planning to get the Miku Secret Lair for the memes. It's print to demand for 24 hours.
>>98467407Please indicate where in the game rules it specifies that attempting to cast Panglacial Wurm from my library (legal action) with Selvala, Explorer Returned (mana ability) is an illegal game action.
>>98467429Second warning.
>>98467439Answer the question if I'm so retarded that I can't understand something obvious.
>>98467454The only format where Wurm+Selvala interaction is relevant is Judge's Tower.In casual games nobody cares about rules about mana abilities so much. Either the table allows take backsies or not.In competitive formats like tourneys and championships there are judges who make you play the game instead of wasting their time.Similarly Four Horsemen deck was competitively banned despite not breaking any rules in the Comprehensive Rules document, but because it breaks the slow play tournament rule.
>>98467500Selvala + Wurm isn't slow play just because the rules don't cover what happens.
>>98467508Read the post you replied to again, this time paying attention.
>>98467238Pls respond.
>>98467539>Uh it's not a gap in the rules if I just pretend it doesn't matterThat's literally why the rule got changed. Unless you think players are miraculously too retarded to understand how picrel works but would somehow intuit how Millikin works when casting the top card of your library.
>>98467508I'm not sure what the hangup is? It looks like there was a ruling in 2014 that explains pretty well what happens if Selvala fails to produce enough mana:>If you activate Selvala's ability while casting a spell, and you discover you can't produce enough mana to pay that spell's costs, the spell is reversed. The spell returns to whatever zone you were casting it from. You may reverse other mana abilities you activated while casting the spell, but Selvala's ability can't be reversed. You'll still have whatever mana that ability produced, and each player will have drawn a card. Also, you don't get to play games with the order of your library while searching, according to a ruling on Panglacial Wurm.>While searching your library, you must keep your library in the same order until you shuffle it. This order could matter if you tap Millikin for mana, for example, to pay for a Panglacial Wurm you cast from your library. Putting it all together, something happened that let you search your library. While searching, you also found your Panglacial Wurm. You can attempt to generate mana with Selvala. If there isn't enough mana between the top cards of your library and your opponent's library, the Wurm goes back into your deck, you have whatever mana generated and whatever life gained, then you and everyone else draws the top card of your deck. Then you finish whatever search you were performing, and almost certainly shuffle your deck.
>>98467582It's cheating to intentionally failcast the wurm.
>>98467582Result: Panglacial Wurm allowed you to view the top card of your library and decide to draw it before you shuffle while tutoring.
>>98467586I assume there is something more to board state you're not sharing with us then? It looks like the ruling takes into account the fact that her ability is somewhat random, and made a reasonable decision about how to handle it.
>>98467591Yeah. Combos are fun. It'd be kind of like if you had some other card that let you play with the top card of your deck revealed, then tapped Selvala for her ability.

>>98467599That's also not how the card, or the game, works. Before or after the change. Otherwise it wouldn't have been an example of a gap in the rules that merited a change in defining what a mana ability is.
>>98467592I wasn't the previous anons, just pointing out that it's considered cheating to intentionally failcast the wurm. The rules don't break down, the situation is resolved mechanically.
>>98467619How so?
>>98467615That's literally how the game worked, before the change. It's in black and white on the Gatherer page for Selvala. Or are you saying that there are additional rulings, hidden somewhere else that are more current?I suppose with the rules update, you couldn't activate her ability during the search. So you wouldn't be able to use it to cast the Wurm.
>>98467591Okay. Indicate how and why that is a problem? It seems like following the rules of the game caused in-game actions to occur.>>98467615>THE WAY THE GAME WORKED BEFORE THE CHANGE (with pertinent rulings shown to you) IS NOT HOW THE GAME WORKED BEFORE THE CHANGEYou are delusional and retarded.>merited a change in defining what a mana ability isIt didn't merit a change. That's my entire point. You are arguing based on the axiom that the change was necessary and because I obviously disagree with that axiom, using it to justify the change is circular reasoning that is obviously not going to convince me of anything other than your own inherent retardation.
>>98467644Intentionally taking an illegal action to gain advantage.
>>98466794They must have realized video game sets print money by now, right? Dark souls/elden ring i would be legitimately excited for and would sell crazy well
The weekend is almost here time to play magic hell yeah
>>98467664Yeah the trans audience that showed up for FF would go crazy for a FROMslop set. I can see it now: Dodge Roll - G - Instant - target creature gets hexproof and indestructible until end of turn. Tap it, then untap it at the beginning of the next untap step.
>>98467654Can you prove that aside from saying they put both cards in their deck when their opponent revealing a land would have caused it to work?
Just found out this exists. Maybe some other nerd will find it interesting.https://exhentai.org/g/3192677/03edf6131b/This author made an official Pokemon manga too.
>>98467652>It didn't merit a change!Okay then why did they change it since you're the omniscient Einstein?
>>98467717Yes. Because they cast it while knowing they couldn't pay for it.
>>98467729But if their opponent revealed a land, they would have been able to pay for it.
>>98467735You're assuming they have 6 mana available. Further, a judge doesn't have to prove anything. Just failing to cast the wurm is enough to be warned or if they felt like it, DQ you. As the interaction is obvious, you checked your top card, drew it, then oopsy failcasted the wurm?
>>98467745>Judge presumes to read player's mind when they physically couldn't know if Selvala would make 0 or 1 mana
>>98467751>y-you can't prove it!!>"you're disqualified, leave the premises before we have to call the police">REEEEElollmao
>>98467764You realize your own fantasy scenario is exactly the reason the rule got changed, right? As it turns out it's bad to have judge policy be "DQ anyone that plays these cards".
>>98467769>"DQ anyone that plays these cards"Continuing to be disingenuous I see.
>>98467772Oh I'm sorry are we still inventing excuses for your fantasy despite it already demonstrably being enough of a problem the rules got changed to prevent it from happening?
>>98465767Why do you lie?
>>98466280Take your meds and dilate.
I'm looking for some feedback mostly about the sideboard for this mono black 'tempo' list for Legacy. I only play in paper at my LGS.Main deck flex slots are Urza's Bauble, Mai and Stalker.Sideboard mapping is something like this; because it's a local meta I can be a bit more targeted, for example noone plays fast graveyard combo or dredge so I can skip Leyline, Faerie Macabre etc.Ashen Rider - Any S&TDamping Sphere - Tronpost, Storm, Mystic ForgeFlute - Tronpost, Welder, Doomsday, LandsFatal Push - Any creature matchupForce of Despair - Any creature matchup where Fatal Push isn't enough, such as EldraziInquisition - Any combo matchupEdict - Flexible, mostly intended for UB tempo or Depths decksSurgical - Welder, Lands, DoomsdayThe most common decks to show up are Lands, Welder/Painter, Doomsday, Tron/Cloudpost, and UB/UR Tempo. One thing I've been unable to figure out is if I want 3 Dark Ritual or 4. It's best when it's in my opening hand and I never see a second one so there's a bit of tension between the two. I think the deck can operate fine without having it in my opener, but it can make certain matchups easier if it is. I'm also unsure if the Ashen Rider slots would be better spent on Barrowgoyf #3 and something else. Most lists like this have Mai in the sideboard.
>>98467778I think it's fine the rules got changed. That doesn't mean that under the previous rules intentionally failcasting the wurm isn't cheating. Simply falls under performing an illegal action for advantage, which is cheating. Proving it is unnecessary. Cope, seethe, dilate etc.
>>98467801>I know he failcasted that wurm on purpose! I just couldn't prove it!
>>98467807>couldn't Never had to, nor was it a consideration.
>>98467818I, as the head judge, determined you're trying to cheat. I do not have to explain how I arrived at this conclusion. Leave the premises immediately.
Is this game, dare i say it, COOKED?
>>98467828Yes.
>>98467567>Now he's just straight up hallucinating answers to argue with.No, seriously, read it again.
>>98467932You whining won't change the reason the rule got changed.
>>98467934Ok, you seem to prefer arguing with the voices in your head rather than the post I actually wrote, so I'll leave you be.
Tournament rules explicitly trump those in comprehensive rules document. Precisely because they know that tourneyfags would try to angle shoot with "but it's just the rules of the game!"
>>98467955Judges getting mad is not gameplay or tournament policy. That's why the rule got changed to stop this from happening. Hope that helps!
Wurm + Selvala interaction is possible in EDH (especially with Selvala as commander) but also Legacy and Vintage.Tournament rules can be found herehttps://media.wizards.com/ContentResources/WPN/MTG_MTR_2026_Feb27_EN.pdfSection 5.5 Slow Play gives no reason to believe a slow play penalty would be given from Wurm + Selvala interaction.Four Horsemen gives a slow play because 1. You can't give a final state after a certain number of iterations and 2. a board state is repeated without meaningful progress being made. Neither of these apply to the Wurm + Selvala interactionMagic comprehensive rules can be found herehttps://media.wizards.com/2026/downloads/MagicCompRules%2020260807.pdfThe relevant section is 601 - Casting SpellsThe Wurm + Selvala interaction is deep rules, notably a spell is "proposed" before actually being cast, in which the spell is moved to the stack and mana abilities are paid. Wurm reveals library order information and Selvala is a mana ability used to pay the Wurm cost, which draws a card as part of the resolution of the mana ability. The spell proposal then fails as there is not enough mana, and the rest of the search/shuffle effect happens. This rule is covered by>601.2e The game checks to see if the proposed spell can legally be cast. If the proposed spell isillegal, the game returns to the moment before the casting of that spell was proposed (see rule733, “Handling Illegal Actions”).>Each player may also reverse any legal mana abilities that player activated whilemaking the illegal play, unless mana from those abilities or from any triggered mana abilities theycaused to trigger was spent on another mana ability that wasn’t reversed. Players may not reverseactions that moved cards to a library, moved cards from a library to any zone other than the stack,caused a library to be shuffled, or caused cards from a library to be revealed.
>>98467962The interaction between Wurm + Selvala was covered by the comprehensive rules, it was however a pain in the ass to explain and even seasoned players would get it wrong as we see in this thread.There is nothing in the tournament rules to suggest that Wurm + Selvala is a slow play, warning, game loss, or match loss from a judge.If you are a tournament player, you should read the entire comprehensive rules and tournament rules. I highly suggest it, as it will allow you to improve your own gameplay and stay vigilant with opponents.As always, anytime Wizards does some meddling it is because of something new coming out. Keep your eyes peeled for something really fucking retarded in the next 1-6 months (besides posters in /mtg/ of course)
>>98467962>>98467976It's truly amazing how people can claim to be such avid fans of the game yet spend all their time insisting every single update to the game is a conspiracy to ruin it. I genuinely never see people respond this way to any game aimed at people with a functioning prefrontal cortex.
>>98466124>old JayaEwwwwwwwwwwww
>>98468112hey chud an old granny fighting on the front lines is totally badass you just don't know any better
The card the change actually impacted isn't Selvala or Wurm, it's Chromatic Star. Not that it changes the viability of it, but you'll have remember that you can't use it in the middle of casting the spell.
>>98468119that's chromatic sphere and it's actually better for it that it's no longer a mana ability because now you can target it for swat + offer u cant refuse
>>98468124Shoot, you're right. Chromatic Star is the "fixed" Sphere that didn't have cards moving around during casting.But I don't see how An Offer interaction changes here, it doesn't counter abilities.
>>98468136you target sphere's ability with swat then you counter swat with offer so you get two treasuressphere's ability still resolves but you are ultimately ahead by 1 mana because you used offer as a fancy ritual
>>98466780You seem confused. The statement is that nothingburger climaxes to B plots is still preferable to Miku Hatsune and Final Fantasy.
>>98465003Damn I sure wish we were in the 3 block structure for EOE.God I miss Alara, but I know they will never EVER have the talent or ability to make something like that ever again

>>98468461>Even though Olle Rade won the first Invitational, his card was only the fifth card by an Invitational winner to be published. This was due to the circumstances that Rade quit Magic rather soon after the tournament without asking for his prize. He later made a comeback and asked Wizards of the Coast if he could still get his prize for this Tournament. Wizards agreed under the condition that Rade, who had since shaven his head, would be depicted in the Art with the long blond hair he had when he won the tournament.

Well hello there
>>98468548MTG satyrs are peak boring slop, this is the only interesting/memorable art they have out of like 35 creatures
>>98468469hold the fuck up I never knew about this card. that's a very neat effect, and I think the cheapest repeatable one?
>>98468461I hate the invitational cards. They all look like absolute shit cause they have some stupid fat nerd's face superimposed on fantasy art.
>>98468570They're not that bad...
>>98468576Maybe if you compare them to current day MTG "art" where they just make every character look like a dumb fat nerd.
>>98468581Exactly >>98468441
>>98467795>I'm also unsure if the Ashen Rider slots would be better spent on Barrowgoyf #3I don't have much experience playing with this archetype in Legacy but I do think Barrowgoyf is quite powerful so I'm in favor of this change

You guys ARE going to a Magic: the Gathering Universes Beyond: J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit prerelease event at your local game store tonight, right?
>>98468551This used to be an increadibly pushed aggro creature only a decade ago
so i wanted to get into star treck since the set is so interesting, is there some kind of star treck universes beyond: magic the gathering to ease me in? like maybe a season or a handful of episodes that's set in the magic multiverse with no connection with the star treck lore?
>>98467386KCI isn't SDT. It's not even close. It's more like Twin in that it's an old combo deck well past it's prime. You don't have time to try and draw out the game with slow non-deterministic kills when you're just dead. >>98467396Right but I'm not advocating for Cruise. Big difference between it and Dig. Secondly, Dig isn't easy to slot into many of the midrange blue decks because it competes with a limited resource these decks are trying to exploit already i.e. the graveyard. Goryos already wants to fly Frog and reanimate Atraxa. Same for any Murktide midrange decks. EI is already a rather awkward card in Prowess and Dig is that but many times over. Neobrand isn't filling up it's GY fast enough for it to be too concerning. It's not going to mitigate how fragile the combo is. What other combo deck would push Dig over the top because I can't really think of any?
>>98469196nah hobbit set looks weak as shit, also suprisingly sold out at our usual spot, again showing people who play mtg really like fantasy and do not care so much for sifi/hero slop
>>98469227Not really, it was used because there was nothing else besides Rakdos Cackler and its biggest benefit was being able to push through a Sylvan Caryatid but RTR-THE-KTR was a very grim time for monored.
>>98469331Addendum; grim for monored aggro, big red was the go-to until Rabblemaster showed up.
Dick lickers
What is your prerelease plan? I'm hoping to go BR aggro or UG elves shit with bilbos. I always open jank rarest at these events so I hopefully atleast get the good commons and uncommons in the colors I want
>>98469848Try and convince my LGS to do FF draft again
>>98469848I like the look of BG, it looks fun and comfortingly grug. Hope I get good support for going that way.
>>98469857BG has some solid aggro slackers. I did will with BG at strixhaven so ideally I'd try something different for varieties sake. Sometimes a low to the ground straight up aggro is all you need to do well in sealed, especially if you match up with a lot of noobs who build slow durdle piles.
>>98469882>slackers*smackers
>>98469848I was gonna stay home this shit is gay as fuck and i dont want to be around a bunch of weird smelly faggots.
I have been trying to get back into standard but holy shit it feels like first player advantage is worse than it's ever been. If you lose the coin flip you might as well concede to save time.
>>98470299Reminder WotC interprets grand finals going to game 5 every time as a good thing even though it's mirrors where the player that goes first wins every time.
Can someone provide me some examples of MTG tournament gameplay at its best? I want to see real niggas doing real nigga shit and the best player winning because they were the best player.

>hobbit even more expensive than marble>marble was more expensive than the previous set>can't even remember what the previous set was because we get a new set every 4 weeksHow is anyone employed meant to keep up with this game? How is anyone unemployed meant to afford this game?
>>98471093For games with more than two players, of course. MtG is a very flexible game in that respect.
>>98471093Well, if you direct your attention to section 8 of the comprehensive rules you will notice that Magic: The Gathering supports game modes with more than two players. That wording in the card accounts for such situations, which may be more common than you think during games of Magic: The Gathering at your local game store. Commander, it’s for commander. You dumbass
>>98471131even if money was no problem, it would be boring to get everythingthe best option is to limit yourself to ehat you like the most to enjoy it more
>>98471131Protip: It isn't players who are buying at these prices.
>>98471568Money isn't a problem for me. I could go buy a complete set of the hobbit, chase cards included, tomorrow for cash. I am, however, gainfully employed. What do you mean we're getting Star Trek spoilers before the current slop set is even fully out?>>98471570Oh I'm well aware. WOTC is actively courting the pokemon/"""investor""" bros with every fucking set now.Guess I'm just venting about the slow strangulation and enshittifcation of my longest running hobby.
>>98470583https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WV_W5OS3AUMost old SCG legacy videos make for great viewing with good gameplay and good commentary. Look for around 2011-2015.>>98471037There's a guy in my LGS's legacy playgroup who started to show up a few months ago, using painfully low quality fakes who very proudly posted a photo of the two collector boxes he purchased for the low low price of $880 each, saying they were an "investment" and that he wouldn't be opening them. Ironically this guy works in a bank's head office.
>>98471585You realize WotC has been selling (You) memberberries since at least 2012, right?>Dude what if we went back to Ravnica then did nothing there
>>98471626No shit? You don't think there's a difference between "remember our setting Ravnica? We're going back with new lore and an expanded story, it's $150 a box" and "remember Marvel? That's it, it's just Black Widow on a card. And it's $600 a box"
>>98471669>New lore>Expanded storyNothing fucking happened in that set. They didn't go back there because they had a story to tell with the setting. They went there because they knew paypigs would dump money into it and they were right.
>>98471674the fuck do you mean? rtr is where we got the living guildpact and jace being magic jesus. and we still got novels in bundles back then.
>>98471685You mean the shitty Buffy the Vampire Slayer setting pushed the new mascot character that they're still cramming down your throat to this day? Why are you complaining then? You're getting the same sludge you were always being served up.
>>98471708I hated the jacetice league at the time. But in the wake of the current state of thing i fuckin miss it
>>98471717You're still getting that shit. Why do you think there's a state-mandated memberberry walker in every set?
>>98471735who is the state-mandated memberberry walker in teenage mutant ninja turtles
>>98471740Playing with his nipples in Strixhaven.>Wah wah wah WotC isn't giving me MY flavor of memberberries constantly!!! I'm starving with only 3 sets a year!!!

Get some fucking self-respect and stop playing this game, piggy
>>98471753>Dude Magic was so much better back then!>You mean constantly self-referential pandering that struggles to build any sort of IP identity amidst its trainwreck of a story?>N-No! Not like that! It was actually good back then!>Is that why nobody that wasn't already invested in Magic knew anything about the story and the attosecond they started doing crossovers with real IPs suddenly they started breaking sales records left and right?>Shut up! Those people don't even play the game! All those sales figures are actually fake because I saw Spider-Man on the shelves at my LGS!>Ah, so then an avid player like yourself must be supportive of the in-universe sets because they represent "good" Magic for dedicated players, right?>No! They're full of fat trannies and niggers! I can't support that!Maybe you just don't actually like the game and have instead become infatuated with a mental image of a version of the game that never actually existed.

>>98466002hob pre-release is doing fine but yeah I'm not foreseeing big numbers for trek
>>98472231this was the same thing you said about tmnt btw
>>98472278which part?
>>98472285>I'm not foreseeing big numbers for trektmnt has proven that even the silliest saturday morning cartoons can work, so it's not far off to say that even 60s era series can work at least 'fine' especially when wotc had already normalized the audience for it with EoE, surely you realize that was the whole point of that set right?
>>98472294was it established somewhere that tmnt was a popular set? because if so I missed that
>>98472338never said tmnt was a popular set, but it sold fine and definitely wasn't the flop that people were hoping it would be ala spooderman
>>98472343okay well I'm still not foreseeing big numbers for Trek which is what I wrote "maybe a bit worse than tmnt" is not big numbers
>there was an actually attractive tranny at the prereleaseSet fucking sucks btw would rather play ninja turtles
I think I'm at the point where they could ban Badgermole Cub and every individual card in an Izzet deck list and I still probably wouldn't want to come back to standard, even though I'm probably gonna lose $200 in staples in half a year.

That UW Recruit theme is beyond busted bros, draft that shit for free wins at your prerelease
>>98472516>Probably going to lose $200 in staples in half a yearAre there even any relevant cards rotating though? Only card I can think of off the top of my head is Slick Shot Showoff in some of the UR variants. Most other stuff from the rotating sets has been power creeped into the ground

I didnt believe the Zelda rumors but seeing this card at pre-release made me think otherwise.

>>98473000It's mainly Balemurk and lands like Fabled Passage. If I do transition to modern (no one outside Arena plays pioneer, lol), it won't be a blink deck so the former will be pretty useless to me.>>98473006I never invested in Cavern because my brews weren't good enough to justify the insurance policy, but if it drops to $35 after rotation I might pick up a playset for older formats.

>>98471780Ok but you never defeated the argument of it being good, you just switched to saying how UB sold better. Popularity =/= quality.
>>98471568>the best option is to limit yourself to what you like the most to enjoy it moreThis is unironically the new business plan.

>>98474087one, modern isn't modern, it's horizons block constructedtwo, I can't play modern (or horizons block constructed) on arena
>>98467676>>98467664I definitely have either Witcher or FromSoft on my bingo card for UB 2027. Gonna be the third set alonside Power Rangers for Hasbro and X-men for Marvel.
>>98472940Chandra's tongue fucking sucked the racism out of her.
>>98473945Whoever was in charge of pioneer when it first dropped should be fired and blacklisted. I've never seen interest and hype for a new format come and go that quickly because they refused to hit the likes of Inverter or G Devotion which ruled the format with an iron fist.
>>98474094Found the gay!
>>98473988Because Magic was never different from how it is now. You can't refute an argument as nebulous as "it was better" when it's the exact same shit.
>>98474072UW recruit is actually disgusting, tons of card draw, tons of tokens, tons of fliers, the best removal, just has it all to succeed in limitedRW dwarves are a great archetype but a tad weak to removal if you stop them from getting storiedUG elves are meh, okayish tribal payoffs but nothing too crazy unless you draft those huge hexproof bearsRB goblins are meh, run of the mill aggro deck, nothing too crazy there and the "bombs" are few and far betweenGB ferocious is shit don't even bother trying
I enjoyed my prerelease. I had hoped to go BG and got the support to do so, which was nice. Most of the power in my deck was in the uncommons, which I think is a pretty good thing for a set. All in all I think this'll be a pretty fun limited format and I expect I'll try to make the most of it while it's about.
>>98474086I used to run that card in a pauper deck back in the day. 3/3 First Strike for 3 was good because power creep ruined everything.
What the fuck is this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w8mN84twwM
Lil dick bitch
>>98475589Its a link to a website called youtube dumbass
I just learned that an lgs near me does pauper for fnm. Do you guys have any cool or rancid brews you recommend I play? I was thinking of building some kind of terrible eldrazi spawn shitheap that unironically runs Hand of Emrakul

Quickly little reminder that Bird tokens have NO MANA COST and you can cast them for free!! As many as you want! Try a deck that'll give you a nice opening hand full of birds!!
>>98475589Bad. Some are ok, most are slop ai.
Why in the fuck did they choose to make the Trek lands as boring and normal looking at possible? We already got entire planets as land cards, why can't we get a ship interior or something that actually relates to Star Trek?
>>98475801Are you really going to be playing a basic land and not running ABU? You should just not run the land slot at all.
>>98465829>we will get some version of "Full ahead, Mr. Sulu, maximum warp."as a cardAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
>>98475801Because they need to sell those borderless full art klingon foil land.
Got second and my LGS gave me 5 packs as a price, on a 25 players event is that bad or good I dont know since I dont really go to a lot of these prerelease?
I haven’t played in a while but I do have some vague idea of the problem cards people are angry about in standard and one thing just left me feeling pissed off>okay so badgermole cub makes creatures that tap for mana tap for 1 more mana, that’s obviously busted>and it turns a land into a creature with haste so it can tap for an extra mana too>but that means you can blow up their land more easily and put them back as a drawb->>the mechanic is worded to make it so that removal just causes it to return to play as an ordinary land, even if you pointed exile based removal at it>even if it was explicitly land based removal>>>this was a major set mechanicSo you can hypothetically play badgermole cub, turn your Gaea’s Cradle into a creature, and now your opponent needs two wastelands or a wasteland + a removal spell to blow it up properly (or a way to bounce it back to hand, I guess)And also the cradle taps for one more mana too because that’s what Gaea’s Cradle needed to doLike old cards that turned lands into creatures sometimes had a failsafe, like the Zendikons from Worldwake returning the land to your hand if it went to the graveyard, but that still meant you were temporarily (at least) behind on land dropsWhat the fuck
>>984763661st place gets free use of the LGS tranny for 72 48 hours2nd place gets a blowjob3rd place gets a handjob
>>98476366that sounds about average to me, well done anon. my lgs did 10 packs for 3-0 finishes
>>98476377yep that's why the card is $50. they just felt like pushing the shit out of it for whatever reason. to their credit, that one card is the only reason any green decks exist in Standard right now. so... mission accomplished?
How many bans would it even take to cut UR based decks down to merely being good instead of stupidly dominant
>>98476541Define "good" because the competition is two complete horseshit decks.
>>98476661>>98476661>>98476661
>>98476377You are supposed to target the Cub idiot.
>>98476377I don't think it's too unreasonable that earthbending is worded the way it is, it's fine if they want to make it a very risk-free option to use and balance it around that. It's just that badgermole cub is way too strong. None of the other earthbending cards are a problem, it's just badgermole cub being an idiotic power outlier.
>>98467719Somehow significantly better than the Chandra manga.
>llanowar elves + double cubYeah it's gaming time.
>>98474759>Because Magic was never different from how it is now.Only way you could possibly believe that is if you think Magic began in 2020.Original Magic was so different it's basically a whole different game.
