>>98640405it tries to do too much in a single set>Planar Chaos>reverse Strixhaven>Jace's "evil" machinationsit'll be shit; that's a given
SEXO SEXOOO SEXOOOO WITH WITCH SEXOOOOOOOO
>>98640405Only one playable card shown so far, so things aren't looking to great.
>>98640405One of my friends in the pod tossed together a proxy deck. It made me a bit curious in making my own. Any advice from anyone who does it for a beginner? I'm mostly wondering what the cardstock should be. Because that was the biggest issue I had with his work was the cardstock felt off. Also do you use a punch for the cards themselves or is there a specific tool for it?

>TQHardly the worst set story so far but still not very good
>>98640507Just fucking drop the Strixhaven shit. Maybe have 1 cycle of 5 clour shifted prepare cards, but nobody likes Temu Harry Potter for troons
>think the zeta set is finally going to make pasty white Timmy pauperchuds lose>Actually they winBharat modern and pioneer bros not like this!!!
>>98640759A certain audience does like it but they mostly seem to just get hired by WotC itself
>>98640405>screenshot of an imageDeeply retarded
>>98640782>not taking a picture with your potato of your crt screenngmi
>Finally ban Energy out of the format after 3 years of being the de facto best deck>Modern is suddenly allowed to have multiple deck archetypes againSo this is a forecast that MH4 is on the horizon to blow up the format now that it's entered a relatively healthy state again, right?
>>98640924I don't think so, it feels like UB sets have excluded the possibility of MH coming back for the time being
>>98640924Modern is never coming back. The current qualifying season is Modern and no one is showing up to events to play. Look at the Star City Games footage from the event last week, 90% of the tables are empty even in early rounds.
>>98640759Sorry dumb frogposter but I will take temu hp over Marvel.
>>98640954>Modern is never coming back.We're already back and waiting for you anon...
>>98640969Can we have neither? It's a whole multiverse, some plane is surely untouched by both the Jace Club, modern US demographics, and pop culture references. Just make a Zulu war set, or a Vikings vs Dinosaurs, or Phyrexian ghost Ninjas or something.
>>98641031We clearly can't. You have to choose. I would take fucking Zulu, and Vikings, and more Dinosaurs (I love Dinosaurs) and pirates too.But that is not a possibility. Because the plethora of interlocking effects, like Hasbro line has to go up, most people play Commander.
>>98641031>Vikings vs DinosaursKaldheim vs Ixalan could happen. They're doing ikoria vs kamigawa, after all.
>>98641081Let's be honest, it'd probably more likely they'll do Capenna vs. Ixalan instead
>>98640924UB making it so we have 6-7 sets a year means supplimental sets (like Modern Horizons) are basically dead for the time being.
>>98641049>most people play CommanderThere's nothing stopping them from printing overcomplicated legends and creatures with powerful ETB effects in any of those themes. But I get what you mean, obviously.
>>98641169It's more than just legendaries.

Ew, fuck ChatGPT.https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/reality-fracture-episode-7-pick-up-the-pieces>Vraska's still reeling from the notion that Jace has to die and says she won't let the Detective do that>She asks why it has to be that way, he says it's because the the spell is contingent on the body being alive>He apologises, saying this is the only way to make things right>She asks how it can be right if she's already lost him once, then opens up into an emotional tirade about how when she thought he was dead, she felt guilty for not remembering him sometimes, wondering if it was a betrayal of him to stop being so burdened with his loss>He retorts that the only way she could betray him after his death would be if she refused to move on and change and be her own person without him>She nods, saying she hates it, and asking again if it's the only way>He apologises again, saying he thought he was buying peace and time for them at the start of it all>He holds her and she cries>Eventually, they get back to the group, Detective explains the plan about unifying the parts of Jace and the Theorist and killing the body>Also about carrying the parts in their heads, which Chandra immediately rejects but Garruk says "yeah sure" to>Vraska elaborates that it means killing Jace, and that causes Ajani to ask if there's no other way, saying even a mind can be healed>Detective says that the Theorist has done too much wrong, his spell has already been set in motion and so he has to die>Ajani says he shouldn't bear that weight, Detective says he should>Chandra has an emotional outburst at that, telling him he's selfish, that she's not losing another friend>She says at least Gideon did it spontaneously, which has the Detective saying "so you get it">She doesn't really have a response to that>He explains it's not like what Gideon did, this is more like atonement
>>98641334>Vraska is about to leap of the ledge
>>98641396>Chandra hugs him while saying the only good thing he'll ever do is kicking his own ass, and that she hates him>He says he hates her too, then pulls back and repeats that the original Multiverse has to survive, which is how he can atone>Garruk speaks up, saying atonement implies fault, that he's saving the world from himself>Detective says he has to, because nobody else can>Ajani seems to agree, and so the Detective turns to Vraska, asks if she's ready, then decorporates into a thought into her mind>He tells her of a trap through the next door, where something that all the Jaces are apparently quite ashamed of is>She says it won't get any easier, he agrees, and they step through>Back to Tam, visiting Liliana's cell and hey Opal's there too>Tam lies to Opal she's there to clean Jadzi's cell (Theorist took Jadzi closer), which Opal believes because Tam doesn't really lie to her>Opal goes to help, gets into Jadzi's cell and Tam immediately throws a package of chicken at Liliana, who uses it necromantically to create a horrible little undead bird with one wing>It darts to Opal, and soon enough a swarm of dead rats are flooding the cell and burying her, then the swarm goes to free Lili>Lili is eating the remaining wing of the chicken, thanks Tam for the snack>Opal stumbles out of the cell, a barrier around her keeping the rats away, but she's fucked up with rat scratches>Lili barges in, past the barrier and begins choking the life out of Opal just out of sight>Then she walks back to Tam, remarking Tam is still him, has his blood, every part of her is him>She asks so what, and Lili seems to soften a bit on looking at her, before remarking Tam is just a kid>Tam retorts she's in her twenties, Lili says she's in her two hundreds, then asks what's the plan>Tam says his body needs to die, but nobody can get near, so they need to stop him from a distance>Lili's taken aback that she's being asked to kill Jace
>>98641334How many banishing light do we need?
>>98641334>>98641396>Vraska's going to raise Jace after he sudokusCurious as to how they're going to thread the needle of it not being something Liliana could do.
>>98641435For more.
>>98641435It's replaced pacifism effects as white's default removal method for draft
>>98641426>Tam says he needs to be stopped before he can kill Jadzi and everything goes wrong>Lili seems to agree, then raises Opal's body as a lich, which she speaks through like a puppet because Lili's kinda fucked like that>Tam says she's going to go outside and help, and tells Lili to do what she needs to>Lili first says she's going to TRY and talk him down, then seems to go "wait no" and just says she's going to go beat up her ex>Back to the group, arriving in a hallway that looks to be compleated>They're approaching the compleated Jace, as Detective informs them>Chandra asks what's that one doing here, while the wall tries to grab her>She also asks what's IN this memory, and Vraska doesn't know because she was compleated at the time, and Jace has suppressed it>There's more talk about how awful she feels about him having to die, in particular the way she imagines it being like how Alhammaret died forgetting everything>They arrive to the memory proper and hey there's Elesh Norn with a compleated Nissa and Jace alongside, alongside a Realmbreaker>Garruk immediately notes they're all illusions except the Jace, of course>Everybody but Ajani stops their charge, and Ajani's trying to kill Elesh Norn because of course he is>Vraska realises even the Jace they see is an illusion, the real one is hiding somewhere else>She smells blood, apparently, and that lets her figure out where he truly is, and the Detective dispels the illusion to see the real compleated Jace>He's stuck on the ground, a sword stabbed through him, writhing in pain>This isn't Jace when he was compleated, moreso Jace when he briefly broke free of compleation thanks to Elspeth>Hey everybody, it's the Nihilist again>Vraska immediately rushes for him, grabs him and he's soon shunted into her mind too>Detective has him>Meanwhile, Ajani is STILL trying to fight while Garruk and Chandra try to pull him away
>>98641467>Vraska says she's got him so they can go, Chandra does and Garruk has to lift Ajani out of there >They get through a portal and into a memory of Zendikar now>And there's Eldrazi, too, of course>Vraska asks the Jaces what they know of the Eldrazi exactly, Detective says they're theoretically plane recyclers, Nihilist says they're monsters without merit, with the one exception being Emrakul>Both Jaces encourage Vraska to annihilate the ones that are coming because they're basically monsters>Ajani apologises for how he acted, saying Norn haunts his nightmares even now, Chandra says the same is true for her>They're going for the Singing City, which a voice says is when Nissa stopped trusting him, Vraska asks if he means 'stopped trusting me', Nihilist and Detective both say that wasn't them>And suddenly everybody's hearing everybody's thoughts, the nature of the trap is being unable to shut out other's thoughts>Detective tells them to all quiet their minds, which they do to a greater or lesser extent>They approach the city, bombarded by so many voices from all over, of so many things>Vraska realises this is what telepathy is like and both Jaces say it's like this every second of every day>And then they come upon another Jace>He's hunched over, hands on his ears, getting REALLY fucked over by the telepathic trap of this place>Vraska determines this Jace is the one that keeps himself in control, Chandra asks if it's not him from a specific time>Detective explains they broke by function, their appearance just represents the time when they were most exemplifying that>This Jace, the Warden, and Chandra approaches him telling him to do his job and lock this down>He manages to, and stands, looking cold and emotionless>Chandra says he's not so bad when he has a job to do, Warden asks what now>She tries to motion to her head to ask him to get in, but he realises she has something to say
When is the debut show?
>>98641464Maybe, but why don't they just reuse banishing light? Do they really need to waste names on functional reprints ? It's not even a variant with set mechanism, it's strictly the same card.
>>98641516In about 70 minutes
>>986415161 hour
>>98641513>Chandra decides on saying "You're an asshole, Jace", which he says he knows, and he's working on it>Then Chandra asks if he's gonna go down as a hero, half-assing it to the end>He says they should take all the credit for saving him, he's not special>Both Chandra and Vraska find that uncomfortable to hear, this Jace is so humble>Chandra apologises that she wasn't a better friend before the Warden pops into her head>Suddenly Chandra begins crying, and Detective informs Vraska he's forgiving her>Chandra explains the next Jace is apparently one the others should all hide from, so Detective and Nihilist slip deeper into Vraska's mind to stay hidden>Vraska wonders about that, wonders what part is so terrible they have to hide, and wonders if she were broken into parts, some of them would be monstrous too>She realises they've not encountered a part of him that is just his telepathy>Ajani says they're moving, but has a moment to talk with Vraska about how hard this must be on her>She says it'll be the worst thing she'll ever watch, he assures her she won't witness it alone>He also says she's not helpless in this choice of his, after all, the Golgari Queen is anything but>They barge through to another portal and immediately all collapse with a psychic headache>Vraska struggles to see what it is and oh boy it's Alhammarret>Specifically, it's Jace's killing of him, the Jace here being his younger self, only capable of muttering how easy it was>The rest of them can't get to their feet, but Garruk can, so he walks towards him>Garruk kneels in front of this Jace, and this Jace can only ask if he knows who he is, because he doesn't>That unnerves Garruk a bit, to forget himself at such a young age>Garruk eventually says he does know who he is, but that he must stop his spell, his friends are hurting>Garruk notes that Jace has many friends, and his selflessness will save them all
>>98641549>The young Jace clings to Garruk, and Garruk is reminded of the twins>He declares he will protect this one, and so it vanishes into his mind, declaring itself the Clean Slate, the one that knows they can always start over, which Garruk empathises with, having also begun again>Clean Slate thanks Garruk, and the spell lifts>And Alhammarret gets up, it can't die in a nightmare after all>Garruk tries to fight, but is telepathically driven to try and jump off the roof instead, though he fights through that to the portal by the sphinx's side>He manages to get Chandra and Ajani through, but Vraska's still stuck in the compulsion and steps off the edge
so brave and stunning of wotc to make a set about how chuddies need to die because they don't like how the game went to shit!
>>98641396Welp, pour one out for Liliana Blanco. She had a good run.
>>98641575The copies apart from her haven't really had much presence to be honest. Echo-Vraska was just there for a fight scene, same with Chandra, and the others don't even have lines.
>>98641581Its almost like trying to do five different things in one set actively harms the content. If there was only some technology to have more than one set in a thematic arc that ties it together that makes for a stronger story and allows for iteration upon the mechanics presented. Too bad that doesn't exist, right?
>>98641581That's honestly for the better. For the purposes of the set and the cards, we can infer -A is the opposite of A and that's all we really need to know. Since the copies aren't complete people and aren't going to stick around, giving them too much development would risk people getting attached to things that are impermanent by design.
Twenty more minutes until Legacy is rotated again.
>>98641666legacy never really rotates as long as brainstorm is the mascot of the format
>>98641677except when it's universes beyond commander slop
How quickly it's been forgotten.
>>98641722>except when it's universes beyond commander slopthey banned fantasticar so that brainstorm.dec remains top of the meta you retard
>>98641723I mean yeah, that tends to happen when they actually ban and restrict a card
>>98640924Anon there is no MH set scheduled for next year. The only thing we don't know are the UB sets.>>98641602It so funny how WotC and tards shit on the block structure. You don't have to have a 3 block structure for every set. Sometimes it makes a ton of sense (e.g. Invasion, Ravnica, Zendikar) and sometimes it makes sense to switch it up (Lorwyn, Ixalan, Amonkhet). But because WotC is retarded and are slaves to rules they themselves write, they throw the baby out with the bathwater.>>98641677Legacy will always be defined by ABU duals, Blue mistakes, broken mana accel like Tomb, Petal Ritual, etc. and other miscellaneous, old broken cards. Sometimes you need to get the newest colorless bomb they printed like The One Ring or Frog/Murktide for your Delver deck but it's generally just the bombs that change, the underlying architecture is really hard to powercreep so the decks still look and play the same in most instances.
>>98641759Well lube up, because we're coming in...in five...
I WILL NOT BEHOLD JACE AIEEEEEEEEE
>>98641769ABU duals can always be shocks if ever they banned them (they wont)combo only gets slower if you ban petalbut ban brainstorm and not only does combo become less consistent fair tempo beatdown literally dies overnight
>>98641831This will be banned in Legacy in 3 years.
ok the lands are neat
I fucking hate these parasitic jace synergies.
People liked my custom set after playtesting it.
>>98641815>pauper planeswalkersTime to quit the format
>>98641880That's nuts.
>empower jaceWelp, I'm skipping fracture. I fucking hate jace.
Miss me yet?t. UB
>>98641955wrong thread anons here hate UW here too
>>98641955No, die.
>>98641826Brainstorm is just as unlikely to be banned as ABU duals, perhaps slightly less so because that's one of the reasons to play the format. It's been in like 50% of all decks in the format and is one of the best cards in the format for decades but it doesn't matter because idk lmao. It's totally arbitrary and harmful for the format at large.
>>98641821thanks, I hate it
>>98641989Mhm, I like this one.
>>98641980hence my point that legacy never really rotates as long as brainstorm remains legal there
>>98641517How am I supposed to make my epic Banishing Light edh deck if I can't take multiples? /sPandering to commander has done irreparable damage to the game.
>>98641980Ban fetches suddenly Brainstorm usage rate go down
>>98642009Mhm, I hate this one.
FLASHFLYING
>>98641435>mogs all the water down shit versions of itself because rulesFeels good to be a blinking chad.
>>98641989a bit convoluted and probably unnecessary but you could put like 10 lands from deck into play in mono green if you wanted to
>>98641831great addition for my esper superfriends deck
>You thought it was a mirror universe set with lots of unique mechanics?>Sorry, its all Jace tokens.RIP the limited format for this set, holy shit. Also yeah if you care about Pauper this is a shitload of common planeswalker tokens. I can't believe how many cards they have shown with this fucking mechanic - it looked like it might have only been a handful at first but damn.
Aha, so Ingris Stingerquill is the hot one.
>>98642043Hard to not be attractive when you're a competitive racist
C U T EUTE
>>98642043Well, she is the one who weaponised slurs
Kill Jace. Behead Jace. Roundhouse kick a Jace into the concrete. Slam dunk a Jace into the trashcan. Crucify filthy Jace. Defecate in a Jace's food. Launch Jace into the sun. Stir fry Jace in a wok. Toss Jace into active volcanoes. Urinate into a Jace's gas tank. Judo throw Jace into a wood chipper. Twist Jace's heads off. Karate chop Jace in half. Curb stomp Jace skulls with steel-toed boots. Vaporize Jace with anti-matter.
The characters need to be meaner to Jace.
>>98642051>1 mana 1/1>Prowesswhy do they keep doing this
I hate Jace so much it's fucking unreal.
>they had to pull Karn out of retirement for one last jobOh my fucking god Jace you absolute cockfart
borderless lands connect vertically
>>98642082I don't even get the flavour of this one
>>98642025do i lose my permanent if I respond to the first trigger?Why that doesnt happen with banishing light?t. mtg player since 2019
>>98642120You think they gave a shit about the flavour for the empower cards?
>>98642117lame
>>98642117That's kinda neat, but I have to ask why
>>98642090>if you cast himmore slop for the superior spider-man
>>98642128Read the rules and get a clue.
>>98642128>since 2019I'm sorry you've started playing when the cancerous fire designs was spreading, you've never played real magic.
>>98642129Yeah, it shouldn't be that hard
>>98641549Has Garrkuk's backstory every really been covered?
>>98642153Great art on a shitty common. Many such cases. Too many.
>Empower Jace XI do want to do thatfuck jace
>>98642128Oblivion has two separate triggers so if you respond to the first by destroying the ring or bouncing it the second trigger doesnt happen. Banishing light is one trigger so if you destroy it with its effect on the stack your creature doesnt leave play. Real ogs were doing it with this back in the day.
>>98642157garruk is essentially a wild animal so there's no need for him to have a backstory
>>98642157he got cancelled after he raped liliana
>>98642155the fuck is that
can't fucking WAIT to god damn mind twist my opponent in limited lmao
>>98642157IIRC just briefly in Origins. There's not much to it. He lived with his dad in a rural setting on some unnamed plane. At one point they got in a pickle and Garruk planeswalked to Shandalar. Since then he's just been doing his thing.
>>98642177Just stuff.
oh boy, pauper really needed planeswalkers!
>>98642220Finally, pauperchuds will lose!!!
>>98642035Our testing shows EVERYONE in Nebraska loves Planeswalkers.
>>98642120it's probably slush art
>>98642082>free jace planeswalker tokens. Haha holy shit its totally over
I am actually hopeful now, this set is so parasitic it's actually going to be fucked up, and, dare I say, interesting
empower fucking Jace
>Meant to destroy pauper>Actually makes the format better giving access to better long term draw for blueIs this the power of a format protected by evola?
>>98642220Common Planewalkers already existed
>>98642269Art is neat, at least
>>98642272One that's not legal anywhere.
I'm not gonna bother checking but I'm pretty sure the land cards in the bottom row are perfectly matched in SOS.
>>98642269Jace is deadly serious about bedtime, huh.
>>98642089I see what you did there
The card art connects and loops around.
>>98642314>consign to memory reprint thank god, took them 2 fucking years to do it
>>98642314>eye of ugin reprintthank God, it took them eeee 10 years to do it?
It sucks that something as climactic as this has 50% Hogwarts shit again.
I have to say that I'm surprised that they managed to make a set this horrible
>>98642155>>98642206Oh hey it’s Gavin’s lying kike meme of giving all the Flash he promised to White instead to Blue. Typical lying kike.
>Denzilore Fatehold founded his school to improve the outlook for denizens of Echoverse Arcavios. He believes the power of prophecy should be used for the betterment of all. His three faces represent the past, present, and future. The scrolls that surround him show constantly changing images of the past, present, and future, reflecting and divining the fates of people nearby. It can be unsettling to speak with him and see your potential futures flit in and out.
>>98642272retard
>>98642024>white only in the casting cost so blue kikes could steal Solidarity +1 effectsIs there anything kikes don’t steal from White?
>>98642374It really shouldn't surprise us each and every time at this point, but here we are.
>Uldaros Theorix sought students who demonstrated a thirst for knowledge and a capacity for abstract thought. He used his reality-bending magic to build the first fortress of Hexhaven, raising the campus out of the reach of mage hunters that had grown bolder in their attacks. He adorns himself with chains of equations. It is unclear if the Theorix sphinx was influenced by Jace's psychic manipulations, or if his magic enabled Jace to gain a stronger foothold on Arcavios in the Echoverse.
>Ingris Stingerquill was born with the ability to read emotions and influence others with her words. She teaches others to look deep within themselves and draw power from their core, using the leyline energy to amplify their thoughts and feelings. Her group of followers wields their words like weapons and has become Hexhaven's first line of physical defense against the mage hunters and witchstalkers.
>>98642423Japanese alt art looks good
https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/the-legends-of-reality-fractureThe actual Legends Of article this guy is quoting without linking to.Mishra was a Planeswalker in the Echoverse, apparently.
>Aerid Konstrari has mastered the ability to animate inert materials by condensing magical energy from the leyline confluence under Hexhaven into heartwood crystals. They've taught this magic to their followers, enabling them to build and tether themselves to huge constructs to fight back against the dangerous creatures of the plane.
>A sphinx with wings of flowering plants and vines, Kwia Vigorbloom can cultivate and manipulate plant matter. She can magically encourage a seed to grow in any environment, helping it seek nutrients and thrive. Healers learn from Kwia to patch up injuries and illnesses with flora.
>>98642440Also there was a Second Brothers' war instead of the Phyrexian Invasion. They don't elaborate on this.
>>98642440>The imperious necromancer-turned-professor is being held prisoner in the Echoverse, having been kidnapped by her doppelgänger on Strixhaven. She's a prime candidate for someone whose life Jace believes he'll be "improving" by changing the Multiverse. If she gets out, she'll tell him exactly where he can stuff his alternate reality.I'm still not clear on why Liliana was kidnapped and kept prisoner in Hexhaven.
>>98642407Honestly? I prefer cool sphinx over dragon
>behold Jace>empower Jace
>>98642432I'M GONNA SAY ITI'M GONNA SAY THAT N WORD
>>98642487Because Jace knew she'd be a problem to his plan if left unchecked so he got her preemptively, I guess?
>>98642507>Creates a Multiverse without suffering>Looks inside>Dead dog
>>98642440>>98642478Dominaria getting nuked (twice) was apparently not a tragedy according to Jace
>>98642507Apeing John Wick are we?
I don't know what that creature is but I don't like it.
>>98642525Life imitates art.
>>98642528an ouphe
>>98642047Yeah she is.
>>98642507Alone can potentially do some shenanigans but costs 5 so it isn't worth it. Kinda funny with a Tersa already on the board (makes her a 7/7 attacker) but eh.
All these Elders sphinxes are pretty bland. I was expecting something like the SOS one's with flashy old mechanics but these are a bit of a let down.Like I was anticipating the azorius one to have something like giving cards in your hand Forecast or Fortell. The design it got I guess fits but man is it lame.
>>98642043
Worst set ever I'm not even kidding
>>98642565it is not worse than spiderman
>>98642090>if you cast himKys
>>98642565It genuinely looks awful and what is worse is that this was supposed to be the "good" set
>>98642559This is probably the most milquetoast day one reveals of any set in a long time. Awful Jace token mechanic everywhere, boring sphinxes, and all of the walkers / mirror walkers are not good. Its kind of amazing that Torch of Defiance is borderline unplayable in 2026.
yknow what maybe maro was right to seethe and mald about everyone calling the gatewatch the jacetice league. I mean, he clearly ripped off Ultimate Mr Fantastic, not Iron Man.
>>98641831Insane card for my Gideon turns deck in pioneer, genuinely surprised they printed this
>>98642565Could be worse, could be UB slop!
>>98642611Hobbit was UB but it wasn't slop.
>>98642611Exactly why this is so painful - this is supposed to be a real Magic set and its fucking stupid.
>>98642631>but it wasn't slop
>>98642643That's right.
>>98642238Pauper players saw this coming and preemptively raped themselves with Zeta
us wiser people keep telling you retards that UB was implemented for a very good reasonit's up to you if you want to hate both, but never forget that UB has the superior IPs
>>98642645It's even funnier the second time you say it.
>>98642659>us wiser people keep telling you retards that UB was implemented for a very good reasonTo pander to transgenders, yes. We know FF is very important to you "people" but we still don't want it in our game.
>>98641815is this the set where they promised a brand new never before used mechanic? and it's fucking Jace tokens when we've had them for nine years already?
>>98642407Should have had a flavour text.
>>98642675even w40k stomps on UW, there's no shame in admitting the truth
For trve vnderstanders there was never any doubt that black was superior to white.
let's talk about historical revisionism
>>98642694liliana gets to bare her shoulders again? FVARK!
>>98642678>mechanic that creates a token type no other mechanic has ever createdsamefaggin but I see now it was a pernicious word game. previous token planeswalkers were created by an ability, not a mechanic. he was bragging about a new waste of time keyword to memorize that does something we were already doing. this man tries his best to disguise shit as joy but it never lasts.
>>98642706that nose is incredibly jarring
>>98642716precisely
>>98642706Way of the Pyro seems like it could be annoying. 1R for one extra R every turn or eventual cash out of drawing at least one card.
How do you manage to make Planar Chaos lame and gay?
>>98642706damn jotc can't even do AIshit right
>>98642715I know you're being pedantic but this is effectively Amass for Planeswalkers if you don't think we're getting Empower Bolas in a future set you're stupid and ugly and I hate you
>>98642081its ok no haste :P
>>98642742You make it the reverse of the jacetice league!
>Instead of legendary dragons, the twisted version of the Strixhaven dragons will be Sphinxes!>So how do they differ?>;^)
>>98642131Yeah, not sure about that. No one arranges their lands like that lol. So... what's the point?>>98642523LMAO is there a (poor) explanation for that yet? Catastrophic for Dominarians for thousands of years.
>>98642206>landfall jace
>>98642269pauper bros....our format is getting rape...
Empower Jace has to be the worst mechanic ever made for this motherfucking game.And I'm counting shit like Start your Engines or Web-Slinging.
>amass Jace>shitty characters no one cares about but color shifted>2 cards of same legend per pack but now they are differentSo what is the thing that "something we could never do before now" that Nosewater was hyping up?
>>98642779interesting card for creativity because if you draw it you can turn it into ramp at instant speed and creativity for 2 on the following turn
are you subhuman retards still giving attention to this worthless dogshit slop?
>>98642814I'm waiting for Trek.
>>98642806It's so fucking dumb
>>98642539lorwyn, but retarded
>>98642818The set that will save us all.KHAAAAAAAN
>>98642814wow dude you're so right, we're all going to stop talking about magic right now *jerking off motion*
I fully expect Hexhaven to stick around and in the years to come we will get at least one set about it and Strixhaven organizing a quidditch tournament or some shit.
>playerbase razzes on Jace for decades>wotc continues to force Jace and his Jacetice League>still universally the least favourite PW>wotc in their infinite wisdom decides to make an entire set Jace themed with an entire Jace mechanicUnless there's a mechanically good card for edh this set is dead. No UB memberberries, and themed around the most hated UW thing possible.
empower jace is a clunky-ass wall of text of a mechanic and just reeks of being one of those "arena-first" things
>>98642880What was the last Magic set to unequivocally flop?
>>98642858How the fuck did you type "www.reddit.com" and ended up on 4chan.org?Also you're the zoomer faggot this slop is designed for, keep lapping it up retarded dog.With every cent you give wizards they keep making more and uglier slop made just for piggies just like you, KEEP SQUEALING PAYPIGGY!
>>98642932aetherdrift
>>98642932Spiderman, unless you listen to WOTC because they aren't the stores stuck holding the bag on unsold boxes or the players stuck with unplayable chaff
>>98642932BESTSELLINGSETEVERINCEL
>>98642507Alone should be a fucking monk. HE'S USING A MONKS CUDGEL FOR FUCKS SAKE
>Vengeance and destruction flow from Ajani. His battle cry strikes fear. He carved a trail of carnage across the Echoverse as he sought revenge against those he judged responsible for his brother's death. Ajani's brother, Jazal, was a kind and just leader struck down during Alara's Conflux Wars while trying to broker peace. So, Ajani learned that mercy is a weakness, which he will never allow to be exploited again. Now dedicated to a life of vengeance and wrath, Ajani's raging soul fuels his attack-oriented magic.Jace didn't even erase Ajani's trauma, he just made Ajani take a completely different lesson from it that turned him into an asshole.
>>98642932aetherdrift. another set that had nothing going for it.believe it or not Spiderman sold decently because it had a EDH card ( the mana rock i forgor the name of) and marvelfags will buy anything with spooderman on it. that, and it spiked with the other marvelslop set because of hero/villain support>b-but it sat on lgs shelves!marvelfags are buying through amazon, they don't funking play the game
>>98642946>I've come into a thread full of things that upset me and now I am upset'kay
>>98642932MKM and DFT were only "most sold sets ever" by the usual metric of WotC printing more that stores had to buy. Transfer to the actual hands of players for those sets is rivaled at the bottom only by Spider-Man.Every store everywhere still has shelves lined with Spider-Man. I was even briefly in Europe over the summer and it was exactly the same there, too.
>>98642809>So what is the thing that "something we could never do before now"it was this one>2 cards of same legend per pack but now they are differentthey could do a supplemental set like this in the past, but now they have the printing capacity to do a full set with this pack layout. maro's magic power is making nothingburgers like this sound revolutionary. if you read his book Whack on the Side of the Head you too can learn how to turn clear truths into convoluted not-quite lies.
>>98642978Holy fuck you zoomers are irredeemable and unsalvageable...
Keeping in mind that the school is run by a quintet of magical felines, you probably wouldn't have guessed that Hexhaven has a gargantuan rat problem. But it does.
>>98643014the fun part is that they are losing patrons, and they keep staying the course of producing nothing but overpriced slop
Oh she's getting another card.
>>98643022Are they though? For every human there's 10 pigs so even if you drop to something like 7 pigs you're still up over when you exclusively served humans.
>>98643039Fucking EDF-ass image
>>98642993Way to go negative nancy. Keep seething anytime the game does ANYTHING. Be the lone faggot stewing in how superior you are for hating a game you VOLUNTARY interact with.
>>98643047>Keep seething anytime the game does ANYTHINGThis is literally how MtG has been since the 90s.>Don't reprint cards>Wahhh cards are too expensive>Reprint cards>Wahhh my retirement fund>Design cards for a strong Standard environment>Wahhh powercreep rotating Modern>Design cards to be weak in Standard>Wahhh weak rotation has no cards useful in Modern>Design cards for an entirely different fucking format where people are hardcasting 5-drops>Wahhh pigs eating slop taking the place of Standard cardsAs retarded as WotC is, they really can't fucking win with this playerbase.
>>98643047Not beating the zoomer faggot allegations, zoom zoomy.
>>98643040How many times do we have to answer the same question?Yes, the only format being played is pauper and premodern, everything else is dead, major events that aren't of those 2 formats barely reach 50% of capacity, nobody irl buys this garbage anymore, stores and full of unsold product and the only way wotc keeps making money is by increasing prices year after year (line must go up) and making overpriced (((premium))) products with limited runs bought by scalpers and """investors""".
>>98642957He's a berserker because he's super angry grrr.
>>98643040They are carefully fine tuning and jousting the prices in order to keep making an acceptable amount of money as they are intentionally pushing out through stink the old guard so they can welcome in the brainwashed zoomer faggottry groomed by those illiterate retarded whores of xheir teachers so they can inch by inch change the cultural landscape of the western world, and they have said a thousands times before, woke is not about making money. Their sole purpose is to continue to produce the ugliest slop you can't even imagine as a way to inflict disgust and discomfort on the rightful magic fans, every modern MTG customer today is either a tr00n that picked up the game 2 months ago because he heard that something something commander safe space welcome space transgender whatever or zoomer sloptards who think adventure time, rick&morty, uma musume (don't know what that is), and genshin impact are the peak of literature.MTG is in the hands of those who hate it and want to see it tortured, mutilated and destroyed, and has been this way since 2014.
watch out incel you'll never defeat CRYSTAL FRASIERenjoy the slop
Giving away Picard at my theater, anyone want one
>>98643148Better not tell her that her parent company has a huge branding contract for tons of Harry Potter stuff. That is the real issue here - these people can grandstand all they want, but at the end of the day they are willing to work for a company that collaborates with their "enemy" so everything they have to say on the topic is moot until they actually show that they are willing to do even a tiny bit of what they are asking others to do.
>>98641334Why is Garruk portrait like a Primarch in height? At best he is like 8 feet (2,4 m). Is little Jace a Halfling/hobbit/kithkin or something?
>>98641989The only thing I dislike about this is that it's not a PhyrexianI know they've gone kaput, but I really do wish we got the full cycle, the flavour text of the praetors talking about their creations has always hit me as super cool
>>98643158i'll trade your picard for one super mario getting assfucked by a phyrexian furby, is that cool with you, brony?
>literally jace-wanking, the setKikes would make the entire game mono blue if they could.
>>98643174canon went down the shitter 10 years ago
>>98643182This is just what Sheldon wanted.
>every single color gets access to non-legendary planeswalkers that draw cards at common rarityDoesn't that may for a horrible limited environment?
>>98641989>Not a PhyrexianI like it but I hate breaking a cycle.
>>98643162Garruk is like canonically 8'2. Also perspective and artistic variance for effect.
>>98643195bro
>>98643148It always baffles me at how the Online Left has handled this whole situation. J.K. Rowling is ridiculously left socially on every issue except transgenderism, and they failed to bully her into agreeing with them on letting men into women's spaces, and instead of trying to rethink this position and figure out how to bring her onto their side, they instead have grown increasingly antagonistic, and have tried multiple times to bully everyone online into abandoning Harry Potter.Like, I don't even like Harry Potter, and I would use someone's preferred pronouns (treat others as you would like to be treated and all that). But it's just been such a massive unforced error and they keep doubling down on it despite it not working.
>Amass JaceNot very exciting even if the flavor is kind of cute.
>>98643158I really try to be open minded about UB despite hating it on principle alone but every time I see a card I just find my asking a bunch of "whys"Why is Picard's ability focused on combat and +1/+1 counters? I'm not the most diehard Trek fan but the impression I always got was that he was the diplomatic one.
>>98642932Homelands
>>98643202Ah, a freshman I see.
>>98643202In this day and age it has become increasingly difficult to redpill a person, where should I start with?
glad I sold all my cards. this game is creatively bankrupt and needs a change in design philosophy.
>>98642607tell me more, what's a gideon turns deck?
>>98643202>Spend 90% of my life talking to men>Start just calling everyone bro, dude and man out of habit>friend transitions>Need to consciously stop myself from calling them bro and dudeIt's tough out here man.
>>98643013someone had mentioned that Lili was imprisoned with a Gideon statue to reflect on her actions or some shitonly now do I realize, it's a big fucking Mount Gideonmore kinda statue
I like the Jace set. I hope we get one for every planeswalker ever made
>>98643226if your friend that you've known for years starts objecting to you calling them "dude" the same way you do any other females in your friend group then they aren't your bro anyway
>>98643148What would a narrative designer for UB even entail?Those sets don't have any narrative; they just have licensed references
>>98643229>Looks at Basri Ket and Wandering EmperorUm yeah, about that anon…
>>98643234Fake job.
>>98643254>these jobs persist while real creative jobs get snapped up by A.I.hate this clown world
>>98643225NTA but I'm 100% positive he's talking about something like this:https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=54979&d=608925&f=PIIt's one of those fringe archtypes in Pioneer that dates back to early days of the format where people just threw shit that looked interesting together.
CHICKEN JOCKEY
>>98643234charitably, I'd assume it's a nice PR term for someone that has to be the go-between from wizards and the IP holder to make sure everything is kosher. yknow, the kinda person that has to get bitched out about how X character can't be Y color or have Z ability because blah blah blahrealistically, >>98643254
>>98643174>>98643196Phyrexian being a creature type is retarded garbadge and should be shitcanned ASAP
>>98643266Why would you call that position a "designer" then?Designer implies that they help develop card types or mechanics for the set.The position you describe is more of a production manager or producer role
https://archidekt.com/decks/25618458/wolf_tribal_edhRate the retardation, fellas
so what was jacetard's actual plan? im not reading the stories.
>>98643272>edhask here >>98641347
>>98643275No one has any clue, least of all WotC. They don't have time for plans or plots or story. They need to crank out seven sets a year and are already working four years ahead with this structure. Its shit all the way down, now.
>>98643264oh that's banter
>>98642049>Those kike faggots fucked up, nigger>Ingris, probably
what does the Jace button do?
>>98643275Plan A was use the Meditation Realm to fix the current Multiverse. That didn't work out, so Plan B is create a second Multiverse, a 'better' one, and then overlay it onto the existing one because it needs a structure to stay permanent.
>>98643275As far as I can tell, Jace decided to make an illusory 'perfect' multiverse where the Phyrexian invasion never happened, where he and Vraska have their weird half-gorgon daughter, etc. But it's all unstable, so in order to keep his illusory multiverse alive he has to overwrite the actual multiverse. But for some reason they've delivered all this in the messiest most confusing way possible. All of the stuff with Loot basically had no bearing on all of this.
>>98643268*sodomizes u*
>>98643320why are there still eldrazi in his "pefect" multiverse?
>>98642432>3 mana flying hellrider that makes tokens and gives mass hasteI know it's probably too slow for modern standard but that seems like it should be good there.
>>98642453>theyI thought we were passed troonshit
>>98642966So he literally redpilled him?
>>98643320The kids demand more Loot!
>>98643359The explanation they're giving is that Jace's subconscious biases about certain aspects are causing the mistakes and flaws. Basically, because Jace isn't perfect, he can't really create something perfect.
>>98643148Why are these people so mentally ill?
>>98642432>>98642459Would
where are the new wizards man
>>98642128if you respond to o ring's etb by making it leave play, its 2nd trigger will go on the stack but nothing has been exiled yet because the etb hasn't resolved. therefore it "returns" all the nothing it has currently exiled, then the etb resolves and exiles the target foreverfixed o rings like banishing light simply don't exile the target if you get rid of them while the trigger is on the stack. "until it leaves play" means it can't exile things if its not in play
>>98643445>the oil just stopped working dude>the guy who managed to create his own multiverse isn't smart enough to remember not to include one of the multiverse ending threatswhat retard(s) do they have writing this slop?
>>98643226Over the years, my friends have turned out to be trannies in all sorts of different orientations and directions. Not a one of them has objected to the gender-neutral "dude".
>>98643359There aren't. It seems like Tam is going to go fetch her to eat Jace's multiverse.
>>98643632freak
>>98643640>killing a whole multiverse worth of peopleso who, exactly, are the good guys in this dumb story?
>>98643645magic has always been freak and trans friendly. you are the outsider here pol tourist.
>>98643226Chill out dude.
>>98643226miyabi and the hoyo changs that created her would never take troonery seriously and neither should you
A hearty kek to everyone who thought this was timespiral 2.0. Hope u like jace, lolololol
>>98643655Magic was such a freak game in the 90s/00s it was borderline unplayable because the average player was totally dysfunctional. Shit like "Well good luck proving to a judge that I just tutored my whole hand right in front of you because I'm just gonna deny it and waste 15 minutes of your time."Really it was the demographic that would become the /pol/ autist and they were pushed out by passive-aggressive troons that would at least cheat marginally less.
>>98643699>Well good luck proving to a judge that I just tutored my whole hand right in front of you because I'm just gonna deny it and waste 15 minutes of your time."did stuff like this really happen? thats hilarious
>>98643712Somebody hasn't heard of the standoff in Honolulu.
>>98643699I dont remember that kind of stuff. I do remember the mana weaving scandal and that japs cheat like crazy
>>98643717>>98643718qrd? I got into magic recently and stuff like this is interesting cause I only play pre-release so I have never seen a cheater in paper
>>98643699Most /pol/ autists end up trooning out. There's a whole pipeline comic making fun of it. That's why I never got mixed up with that kinda stuff. Yeah sure bro, take that red pill. IT TURNS OUT IT WAS ESTROGEN.
>>98643732Everybody cheats. Learn to cheat so you know what to look out for. My reccs are slight of hand and magic card trick vids on youtube.
>>98643754Best way to cheat is just to draw an extra card occasionally on your draw step. Unless your opponent continually keeps track of the amount of cards in your hand you'll never get called for it.
>>98643770I actually think some fat neck beard was doing this to me at a pre release. thing is we were in the 0-2 game kek
>>98643712It's funny until it happens for the third game in a row.
>>98643785>losing two rounds at a prereleasengmi
>>98643754Spic greaser wetback beaners are the worst cheaters. Literal shitbag scum who slander others for their own cheating. Typical of shitskins though.
>>98643798never drew bitterblossom dude it wasnt my fault!!!
>>98642031Nigorbloom kek
>>98642500I hate Jace so much it's fucking unreal
>>98643954Vigorbloom.
>>98642500I hate Jace too, but I kinda like this art. Very 80s scifi.
Can there please be some kinda anti-jace cardi'm not talking like generic planeswalker hate or even something like old school color hosing I'm talking full on scorched earth "Apocalypse Chime but for Jace cards" jace hate
>kills your Jace token
>>98643966Just like Star Trek!
I want a Hexhaven set.Fuck this Jace shit man. Empower Jace? What will be next? Can we kill this character already?
This is the first “major story” set where I feel like none of it even matters. For as fucked as MoM was (and it was very fucked), there felt like there was at least the pantomime of stakes. There was a tragedy behind the farce.This just feels like a meaningless pile of nothing. The narrative is incoherent and the characters are flat.
>>98643938Got you a spicy trans combo.
>>98644021Hexhaven is going to be Thanos snapped out of existence.
>>98643972
>>98643653Outside of Tam, all of the "people" are NPCs or prisoners.
>>98644077This doesn't stop amass Jace.
Kill all Jaces
Total Jace Death
>ruptures your Jace
>>98644151genuinely don't even remember if anything of consequence actually happened there to the 'walkers besides tamiyo dying>but some guys lost their sparksok but that literally doesn't matter with the omenpaths
>>98644070Hexhaven is the only good thing that came out of this slop. Everytime i see those Jace tokens that i will have to suffer even in paper i will have suicidal thoughts just slightly better than any UB garbage.
>>98644174That's nice sweaty do you have a response to my token's loyalty ability?
Play Premodern
>>98644409Brazilian?
>>98644409or what bitch
>>98644174>mad at current mtg; hate UB, hate UW>hates FIRE design and wants to go to the good old days but won't play premodern like>>98644412>>98644414>still stays around like a crazy ex anywayslmao
>>98642153Soulful art. Hate how everything else looks like a glowing MMO Chinese game
>>98644423only thing I dont like about UB is no Harry Potter set tbqh
>>98644432i too await the HP set anon, many melties to witness at that point
>>98641815"Thanks for not screaming 'tranny' a hundred times. I know that took restraint."
they can't even let Empower Jace work on another Jace planeswalker card? It has to be a token?lmao@thiscompany
>>98642750>Empower Bolaswhat abilities will he have?
>>98644456Create a 5/5 red Dragon creature token with flyingMale pregnancy arc begins NOW
we wont be seeing Bolas for a while methinks
>>98644452you want them to accidentally make a jace down the line that gets broken in half with these empower cards in modern? i think they learned their lesson regarding that
>>98644467Down the line? Half the Jace planeswalkers cards would be problems now with the ability for you to instantly put 6 loyalty counters on them.
Yeah… if this is what they think is gonna win over mtg players I’m more than happy to pick up UB shit instead. This is completely fucking awful. I loathe marvel and they somehow made something worse. How did they manage that?
>>98644467>you want them to accidentally make a jace down the line that gets broken in half with these empower cards in modernthey dont think about shit like that
>>98644432>>98644445I don't think they'll ever do a HP set, not even because of the twitter meltdown if it happened (I'm sure that's why WOTC wouldn't want to touch it but you know if hasbro put their foot down they'd all just suck that corporate cock dry) but because they keep shilling strixhaven which is basically UW hogwarts anyways
>>98644477>How did they manage that?if the foundation of the story is bad the finale would also be badrise of skywalker couldn't salvage last jedi and that was with a billion dollars, wotc has no chance and it's better to rip off the bandaid now and get right into rebooting asap
>the "theme" of the set is making Jace and activating Jace a bunchEven the grimmest posts exaggerating the Jacestice League a decade ago weren't this depressing.
>>98644482imagine temporal universal hijinx that results in tamiyo getting eiffel towered by the weasleys win thougbeit
>>98644494>A bunchIt's amass so the theme is actually figuring out how to get their loyalty to exactly match the ability cost, that way you can kill the token and make a new one to get another activation.The theme is repeatedly killing Jace.
>empower>power-updbz UB just keeps sounding better and better
>>98644505Vegeta will be a Barktooth Warbeard reprint
>>98644505what colors and effects will the Kamehameha card be
>>98644490Honestly it's not about the story. The was ok. The cards, however...
>>98644510Warp KamehamehaXRInstantInstant Transmission (You may cast this spell by phasing out a creature and paying the difference in mana costs between this and the phased out creature. Mana cost includes color.)Warp Kamehameha deals X damage to any target.
>>98644545forgot the 'a creature you control' lol
>>98644545burn spell that doubles as anti-removal pretty cool
>>98644560That's probably why they'd never print it. Phase out protection for cost is absurd.
I choose to declare “Empower Basri” or “Empower Emperor” instead. Kikes can’t make me say their favorite kikewalker. I control my mana and magic.
>>98644477You dont understand this is like DFT a purposely sabotage, then Mark can justify when sales are low as fuck because they make this kind of shit instead of Lorwyn, Eldraine or Tarkir, "see faggots like this one (You) want UB garbage, people have spoken!" Is a another of their tricks.
og Eldraine was so cool
>>98644690i like the idea but so many of the cards don't even feel like they accurately represent the fairy tail/trope they're going for
>hexhaven set tainted by... the most ridiculous and obnoxious amount of planeswalkers, jace mostly, the worst of all them, ever made. i'm sad and disappointed.
Genshin impact collab fucking when?

>>98644856penny dreadful is pretty close
Which was worse; Hexhaven being sidelined for Jace wankery, or Lorwyn’s return being a field trip for Strixhaven scooby doo gang?
>>98644954strixhaven and hexhaven are both part of the same nu-magic garbage, lorwyn (the original) was a beautiful and unique set that got completely raped in the return (with also garbage nu-magic art.)
>>98644796I'll still want it>>98644781is this balanced enough?
>>98643204Picard gives a rousing speech that empowers his fellow crew. Now don't ask me why Dr. Beverly Crusher, the Dancing Doctor, gets +1/+1 counters as you gain life, turning into a steroided out beast. I got no idea what they were going for there.
because +1/+1 counters is all they can think of
>>98644722fuck off ban evading piece of shit
>>98645067Kikes can’t help but steal the best mechanics from white and give it to everyone. Literally every color can do +1 counters now. Just like how it’s becoming a slippery slope(nose) for how everything has vigilance now.
>>98644954I thought the ravnica clue set was the villain of the week scooby-doo set.
>>98644954I thought Duskmourn was the villain of the week scooby-doo set
>>98642779>>98643035We are so far away from the light that even a 12/12 keyword soup Cast untap lands is shit. Damn this game has no saving.>>98643148Its over
>>98641970A sideboard card.
I thought thunder junktion was a scooby poo set
>>98643204>>98645039I don't know if there's anyone in Star Trek where +1/+1 counters really make that much sense. You stack up enough counters on a crewmember and suddenly they can face down a starship. Picard even being a 4/4 creature is kind of ridiculous when it means he can survive getting stomped by an elephant. Apparently he was always a fool for using the weapons on the Enterprise when he could have just gotten out and punched things himself.It's very clear that everything was just focused on the mechanics with representing the characters as a total afterthought.
>>98642120It puts loyalty on a Jace.
>>98642090>him
How come no one told me Duel Masters had a collaboration with Magic: the Gathering?
>>98642453The token nonbinary member of the cycle.
>>98643195You'll only be a able to draw once a turn.
>>98645156I wouldn't call her shit. I think she could be a solid finisher for control decks, the only issue is 4 color having access to inevitable defeat.
>>98645281emrakul 4.0 will not see standard playit however is your second copy of this guy and is similarly lots of fun with annie joins up in le edh
>>98643035Decent reanimator card in standard
>>98643805In my experience, very true. I have a couple instances coming from the same venezuelan wetback at our lgs. We were playing Gundam, but the game principles are similar.> plays a “draw 2, discard 1” type effect> draws 3 by mistake (or “mistake”)> quietly puts the third card on top of his deck> continues on to the discard without acknowledging it or apologizingI decided not to make a fuss about it because it’s 11AM on a Sunday and I’m there to chill with my mates. But he’s on thin fucking ice since and I happen to be in line to become a judge for that game. So we’ll see in the future. The second instance was the week prior:> friend attacks with card that has an attack trigger> order of operations is: declare attackers, resolve triggers, declare blockers (if any), resolve “instants”-like cards you may want to cast> friend slightly fucks up the ordering, not resolving the attack trigger before blockers> he didn’t know the exact ordering> he’s there because he’s a massive Gundam tard and he’s not very spikey> realizes his mistake post-blockers> asks for a take back> wetback says no> it would have barely changed the outcome of the gameMind you, we are playing a niche card game in a smallish ~200k people city. We are just chilling and half of the regulars is me and my mates. Everyone knows everyone.Tangential, but also I can barely understand him. I’ve met people from almost all latam countries, here in Spain and in the US, and I had no problem understanding them. But this guy? Out of the fucking jungle jfc. I could understand Puerto Ricans better than him.Done venting.
why everything sucks?
>WHAT'S WRONG WITH MARVEL AND TMNT SETS?
>>98645724Capitalism.
>>98645724Man is in a state of constant semi-sleep. There is a dimension of reality that is accessible to humans, but most choose to never develop that part of their being. Some small esoteric groups carry this knowledge forward through the millenia, and many great teachers tried to bring this knowledge to the masses (after personal enlightment) but due to this same tendency towards sleep their message devolves once again to form without true meaning quite fast.The basic secrets are:-learning to detach from your lower impulses and subjective likes and dislikes, not by denying them but by learning to observe them as an impartial observer.-learning to always remember "I am", a very distinct feeling.-never set out to harm other humans, whatever the situation, and actively help them where you can.-never lie, even to yourself.-disavow any form of negatjve emotions.
>>98646063That is the most retarded list of secrets I've ever seen, many of them are straight up bad ideas.
