Thread QuestionBetter win condition than that star trek edh trash.
Artifact Creatures you control have vigilance.
>every Reality Fracture pack has 1 pair of cards and 1 random card that's part of a pair, but the other half isn't includedI thought this was draft simulator's hasty coding, how the fuck is this an actual booster structure?
>>98864207>how the fuck is this an actual booster structure?Retard designers.
>>98864207Because it's supposed to make you feel good when you pull a pair of Mythic Ajanis or Garruks (disregarding all the times you will get two Marawyns).I did luck out and got both Samuts in one pack.
>>98864207That's actually the fix they made to ensure every pack gets at least 1 paired cards. All paired cards were printed next to each other meaning if the cutter was of by 1 card it would still have a pair.
I've been enjoying the alternate reality cards

>>98864582who wouldn't?either that or hitting an insane vapefr fr
returning casual player as i started teaching my 12 year old son how to play as of September. i only ever really played standard during the RTR through Kahns sets.my son has shown some interest in alternate game modes particularly commander since he was told the local LGS does commander most friday nights but standard every other week.i have an old Eternal Bargain precon from 2013 and only ever used it once (bad experience with the group i played with) then i threw together a jank Bruna deck using theroes and about cards just to function as a half assed deck he could go against and figured while commander isn't a 1v1 format he can at least go through the motions with me to see if he likes that gameplay.think this is reasonable or is too much lost cutting down to a 1v1?
>>98864652There's some nuance lost but it should be good enough to get him to handle the basics.
>>98864357Which Star Trek series or film is this referencing
>>98864657thats good, still don't even know if i will be able to take him to friday night events at all yet since that was why i stopped playing originally as work made it hard to stay up late on a friday when i had to be to work by 3am the next day.but figured should at least see if he likes the gameplay before either buying a more modern precon or trying to take him to events outside of maybe standard ones.for now we been playing for an hour or two every other day for the last month and a half, bought him a ton of Reality Fracture packs as his birthday was just a few weeks ago.
>>98864582I thought it was a vape
>>98864652It's hard to get into the proper game of magic nowadays because of commander being dominant both casually and in terms of playing at an lgs, and standard being an absolute fucking dumpsterfire with more UBshit than actual magic cards. Commander is not a new player friendly format, never has been and it continues to get worse as the average complexity of cards and total number of cards keeps increasing, as well as of course the fact that 4 players rather than 2 makes each decision exponentially harder.That said, some basic commander decks in a 1v1 setting would probably be a fine way to learn a bit more about the game and general gameplay and what to do.
>>98864672i figured it would be rough to get into which is why i been playing so many games with him at home using mostly Reality Fracture cards and some decks using old cards from Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash, Dragon's Maze, Core 2013-2015, Theroes, Born of the Gods, Journey into Nyx, and Kahns of Tarkir. i do have a tiny amount of Innistrad block cards but not enough to matter.
>>98864671It's a flute
How often do people play some of the less popular formats in your area? I've been looking into getting back into Magic and never knew Tribal Wars was a thing and it sounds neat.
>>98864777Borg flute
>>98864137
>>98864396that has got to be one of the worst cards ive ever seen
>>98864434why did they choose to omit the series reference from these cardsit was nice to have on the ff cards

>>98864865they had a pauper tournament once a week for a few weeks. fun while it lasted i guessfor whatever reason they still have modern tournaments once a week, modern sucks ass so i've never gone to themeven draft fails to fire sometimes, especially when it's ubshit seasonother than that it's just commander. aids.i have a cube and another draft frequenter has a cube though that we get a few people together and play sometimes though.
>>98864434So Dr. McCoy is another toy for Yawgmoth sac deck (Undying synergy).>>98864915Would, and would let her do me with her massive dong
What kind of retarded faggot still plays this dogshit sloppa of a rotten corpse eaten by maggots of a game?
>>98865092Don't think it works how you want it to, unless sacrificing a creature also counts as it being destroyed. Does it? I don't actually know.

>>98865241Don't forget they NEEDED to add giraffe further fragmenting away from beast creature type. At this point it's pretty much the "fantasy animal" type
>>98865241They didn't even use Alien in EOE a single time what is this LARP?
Why I'm getting worse vibes than with TMNT AND Spider-man? I mean both those sets were terrible but looking at shit like pic related >>98864357... I'm kinda amazed this could be even worse
idea: cum counters
>>98865315It is legitimately the worst set of all time. I'm just glad everything I've seen so far is so shitty that it will never see any play beyond limited.
>>98865315magic indeed is dead, jim
>>98865315Deserved fate for pigs that kept supporting this company.
>>98865326>(2),(T), sacrifice: gain 3 life
>>98865489that's a cum token you dolt
>>98865492>>>98864357No, it's a new type of token that has abilities and can be sacrificed
>>98865559>That said, he's still 4 mana. That's still a bit slow.Yeah, if you've got 4 mountains in play as burn you fucked up and already lost, so it's not a burn card. It's value in control or midrange decks is somewhat interesting. 4 mana do nothing, which is what it is, is pretty unplayable in pretty much all formats. That said, if he resolves and you don't instantly lose the game, most of the cards you hit are probably pretty good. Hit a removal spell and you win against any creature strategy, hit a cantrip and you're very happy, hit a counter and you're pretty happy. Hitting another Q is theoretically good but way too slow to actually be viable, you can hardly get away with casting 1 4 mana do nothing let alone two. Could see him being a one of in something like Grixis control in legacy, but I don't know. The last things you want with a 4 mana card is having it do nothing that turn and for it to have extreme variance, and this guy's got both.
hmmm... you can import a deck with crusade to endstep and it will be in the deck, but you can't actually search for crusade to add it to a deck (it doesn't show up as a suggestion).premodernbros... wtf?
>Rare federation card is a 3-mana 3/3 + 1/1 that can theoretically massively pump up a creature for 1 manaEven if that is good in the right deck, that's so fucking boring. Just run a Ghalta deck at that point.>Mythic federation card is an alt. Three Tree City, but is only worth using if you have like 10 creature typesWow, I really should've known better. Of course they only made federation as an excuse to cram 30-something new creature types into the set instead of making 80% of the creatures aliens and having alien tribal. This set really was the worst set out of everything this year. Even Marvel seems more novel than this.
>>98864652follow up to this: played through a game, he used Eternal Bargain and i used the jank Bruna deck i made, the game went back and forth about an hour more with him almost bleeding my dry with life converted into damage mechanics like sanguine bond but i managed to barely pull off enough commander damage to win the game with a prowler's helm and using pacifism on the wall he kept bringing back.overall he liked commander but was exhausted by the end of the game.
>>98865769Did you have this freakout when "Alien" also went unused in EOE?
>>98865788NTA but fucking everybody with sense thought the Alien type was an abomination.
SEXOOOO SEXOOOO SEXOOOO WITH WITCH SEXOOOOOOOO
What is an odd tidbit about Magic, cards or otherwise, have you come across recently?For example, I only found out recently that there's only one legendary whale creature; and it didn't show up til Thunder Junction
>>98865869Nauctis apparently is going to have a cycle of whales in it, sorta like how Reality Fracture had a set of 5 Sphinx in it.
>>98865103True, my bad, misread it the first time. Destruction is either by kill spells or by damage.>>98865241Coyote? Pest?
>>98865769What was the ruling on changelings again?
>>98865914Borg is a creature type
>>98865883I mean, when the concept of the set is being fully underwater; it'd be weirder if there wasn't any whales
>>98865916And how about that guy from the last zendikar that is all types in a party?
>>98865932That's 4.
>>98865556In most cultures cumming is bad. It drains your life and scares away animals.
>>98865936He's 5 creature cards
>>98866002
>3 years of this shit in standardlol beam me up Leonardo

>>98866031the same thing I do now
>>98866032play premodern?
>>98864995Some cards aren't direct references to a series, but generic ones. The only Dahar Masters we see are the TOS Klingons' elderly appearances in DS9, but the card is a generic Klingon with the same title.
Garak being monoblack instead of blue/black is such a flagrant error that I can no longer trust color assignments on these crossover decks
>>98864995SE actually cared about the FF set. It is clear that none of the other IPs / IP holders give a shit about whatever WotC wants to do.
>>98866068They stopped caring about colour identities being "correct" like three years ago.
>>98866078It's an exceptionally egregious case. He is the purest example of everything House Dimir embodies I can think of.

>>98865816Still no cancer yet, dang. Hopefully God will remember tomorrow you disgusting retarded faggot.
>>98866335When this enters the battlefield, you may choose "Search your library for a Whale card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle.FlyingStation 8+: Whenever this deals combat damage to a player, draw a card. If you control a Whale and haven't begun an extra turn this game, take an extra turn after this one.
>>98866344That's not the Whale ship from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
>>98866031Do we eventually get in-universe blocks after that? I can go a year without Magic to regain cohesion and structure to Magic's universe. I won't play d*sney sets regardless, leave that to the lorcana queers.
>>98866344When this creature enters, look at the top six cards of your library. You may reveal an artifact card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.Whenever you cast a Spacecraft spell, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.
>>988663543rd Rule of Acquisition — Gain control of target nonland permanent target opponent controls. That opponent draws three cards.98th Rule of Acquisition — Target opponent gains control of target nonland permanent you control. If that player does, you draw three cards.
>>98866351Hahahahahaaha. . . no.In fact it would be even more hilarious if it's framed as them wanting to "make a more cohesive standard and have more room for storytelling" and then only use it for UBshit and find some way to reduce in universe sets even more

is star trek actually popular? how the fuck do you make an entire set out of a movie series?
>>98866425>is star trek actually popular?Not with anyone under 45 years old.
>>98866425>is star trek actually popular?Maybe 15 years ago. It's basically dead now.The entirety of its remaining influence is boomers and "It's a show on a streaming service that someone might watch."
>>98866362Rule #3: Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to.Rule #98: Every man has his price.
>>98866350It's not the ship that was looking for whales, but it is the ship that got them.

>>98866625god mtg fucking sucks
>>98864357"Cetacean Ops" started as a joke on TNG. In a couple episodes you can make out a listing for it on the computer screens, and one episode has someone being paged there over the background noise intercom. You never actually saw it in the show, because it's an obvious fucking joke that there would be whales in uniforms working in a giant pool on a starship.(Similar jokes: TNG constantly peppered with anime references hidden on computer screens, DS9 having a shop run by Tom Servo listed in the station directory.)Later multiple "NuTrek" series took the concept and made it a serious, canon part of some starships. Which was stupid.
>>98866642YOU suck, UBrownoid>>98866700tbqh it makes perfect sense considering the whale probe made cetaceans lorewise significant, and it fits the "posadist futurism" in which Star Trek was originally concieved better than anything from Voyager onwards. Plus I bet whales are great at plotting 3 dimensional courses.
>>98866700I feel like Cetacean Ops becoming a canon thing is someone not realizing they've done something so stupid that it utterly annihilates the suspension of disbelief. Lower Decks just kinda doesn't seem to care like I heard someone say that there's a moment where the crew actually commits genocide and then celebrates the victory afterwards - a horrific violation of the Prime Directive. That's just the same kind of no-fucks disrespect same as Cetacean Ops.With Magic it's pretty much guaranteed they're going to include the thing that shatters the suspension of disbelief because the people in charge just have no filter or their brains have been rotted with memes. The inclusion of Cetacean Ops and Lower Decks just kinda shows the people in Wizards have no taste - they would have discretion over what parts of Trek to include or not and they flagrantly chose the stupidest shit. Not the half-stupid shit, the actual worst shit ever.
>>98866002>it's realman who didn't know he still had hope loses the last bit of hope he had
>>98866750Cetacean Ops also appears in Prodigy, on the Voyager-A. It's in the terrible second season, not the good first season.>they would have discretion over what parts of Trek to include or notNo, not really. If part of the license deal was that they had to include everything, then they have to follow that.
>>98866027seriously what is the obsession to mix all IPs to this globohomo mess. what are people, five?
>>98864865In my previous store, two guys started coming with pauper decks and slowly more people joined, until roughly half the store had people with pauper decks.In the current store the same happened but with Duel Commander instead, it was faster because people really wanted to move away from all the shit of "regular" commander.So yeah try to bring two/enough decks of a new format and slowly convert people. It won't be fast, and some of them will never do anything other than commander, but with enough time you should be able to find people to play with
>>98866801>If part of the license deal was that they had to include everythingThat's presumably not part of the license deal, unless they're going to include cards depicting that time Spock and Kirk went to a Nazi planet and disguised themselves as Nazis.
>>98866801I don't know anything about licensing but if someone forced me to pay for Cetacean Ops and then pay to produce a product in order to get everything else I would walk away from the deal. I don't actually believe that Nickelodeon forced them to license Spongebob.I think Cetacean Ops and Spongebob are both indicative of some stupid motherfucker in the product development department. Only the stupidest kind of person would pick the worst parts of Trek to include in the set and that person is probably the same person who chose to license Dr. Who. All that combined with the detective shit in Ravnica just leads me to think the person responsible for all this bad shit UB is some 60 year old who grew up with cowboys and indians and Dick Tracy and fucking magnifying glasses.
>>98866848"Everything" being "Every series", you fucking moron. Use the conversational context.
