>TQIt would be a pillowfort commander I know that
please create a separate thread for non-mtg cardscustom cards are off topic
>>98955937>TQLegendary Mayhem Devil that can tap and sacrifice something to draw a card.
>Goblin supremacy>2RR>Enchantment>If you would create a goblin token create that many +1 instead>At the beginning of your end step, if you control 1000 or more goblins, you win the game.
>>98955937>TQIt would be a 1/4 vanilla creature that costs one white.
Get ready to eat shit, slopchuggers. Your whole precious set is going to get banned once WotC realizes that hyperprinting pushed comboslop doesn't appeal to real players that actually buy the cards.
How do I play UW in a cool, soulful way instead of dude control lmao?
>>98955937>TQ0 mana legendary creature with WUBRG activated ability that's just Thrasios activated ability. Format burns down overnight.
>>98955957You dump one trillion slivers onto the battlefield.
>>98955945
>>98955961I've mentioned it before, but while I really want to play Slivers because I really like dude hivemind lmao stuff, I'm wary to play a 5 colour deck because I want it to be unique and fun, instead of 5cgoodstuff.dek>are you autisticPossibly but my point still stands
>>98955957out of curiosity what do you think control means in edh?
>>98955977Making people pay taxes, countering peoples shit, removing their stuff, basically not letting them play
>>98955937>TQCrackling Drake exactly as-is but legendary.If we're talking non-legends I'd love a 3cmc modal sorcery that's overcosted rampant growth for one option and divination for the other. I am a slut for modal utility.
>>98955984lol
>>98955969Okay, then build a Rith go-wide deck that generates exclusively Saproling tokens. There's not a single ub exclusive card that says the word saproling on it. Solved your issue.
>>98955992But that's what Dimir Control is in Pioneer...
The whole deck.
>>98955996And the tokens.
>>98955995fair enoughyou can easily play an equipment deck in blue and white without dipping too hard into the cards you want to stay away from
>>98955996>>98956002based, don't let the schizo get to you anon
>pioneerThis guy is schizophrenically inventing formats
>>98955946how do I make these imo
>>98956005>right on timesamefag
>>98956010no u
>>98955996>>98956002https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2OYcgr4rMTime to be the biggest menace at your LGS
>sit down at table>see sephiroth fabled soldier deck>two creature-based decks>rest of table ignores him>we drown in emblems and the game becomes a slow deterministic lossI hate this episode and I've seen it happen too many times.
>>98956031is it time to slot sigarda back into my gw toolbox deck?
>>98956038I think you meant angel of jubilation
>>98956041hmm now thats a name I have not heard in a long time
>>98956044damn its symmetrical and fucks with saffi and birthing pod
Is We Are The Borg good for a beginner?
>>98956070no, new players should play with magic the gathering cards
>>98956070>borgNo!
Has Wizards just forgot that Slivers are a thing, along with Eldrazi, Phyrexia etc? It's like everything not wholesome chungus is being slowly removed
>>98956074phyrexia and eldrazi are BANNED
>>98956074are you fucking stupid or something? We got support for all of those things within the last 3 years.
>>98956078Sorry I mean a real set, not a few token cards made on sufferance so they can make more wholesome bunny squirrel cards
I should hate this card for it's covering of a woman, it's le strong female archetype, and it's distinct lack of femininity, but I don't know, I kind of like it
>>98956080did you forget we went back to phyrexia?
>>98956083thats a man who really loved his grandmother and decided that cosplaying as her was the most intimidating thing he could think of
>>98956083I read the story article and took away "oh he got possessed by the ghost of his grandmother" and someone here told me I was an idiot because only abzan had ghosts.
>>98956087that was over 3 years ago
I wonder what we'll argue about for the next few days
>>98956095thats not very long
>>98956087That was a million years ago and no one on earth except me remembers fucking BattlesMy point is that now, between Universe Beyond and the set design, we aren't ever going back to the horror artwork of cards, not all cards it, but some did and that's what made it special. This is one of my favourite card arts, do you think we're EVER getting that again?
>>98956105lol how new are you?
>wow i literally cannot tell the difference between these two cards
>>98956114why?
Is the sex fairy any good?
what do you think the final UB set for 2027 will be?>Star Wars>Mass Effect (in production before bioware's closure got announced lmao)>Return to WH40K
>>98956122I just want WH Fantasy
>want to get the 40k precon>sold out so you have to buy from scalpers for $550+HOLY FUCKING SHIT JUST REPRINT EVERYTHING REEEEEE
>>98956122Its gotta be stargate or BSGthink about itWOTC is targeting things that were more fringe than mainstream that have effectively been dead for decades and have no social cache leftOh maybe they will do PSYCH secret lair too!
>>98955996>Cedh artifact package>Rest of the deck is a bracket 1
>>98956133Buffy lmao
>>98956133Xena warrior princess set incoming (but ugly)
>>98956133indeed
>>98956141oh shit, thats it!or Supernatural?
They're going to have white characters in this upcoming Africa set right? After all, they race-swapped the LOTR characters for better representation
>>98956149not a chance
>>98956114Two cards that do nothing and look like shit but I guess one of them costs less mana and gives a 2/2.
>>98956118>>98956167Artwork wise you retards
>>98956149if they're accurate to the lore of zhalfir of course (they won't be)
>>98956126Just buy it from Chang lmao.
>>98956133Psych would actually be funny so WotC won't do it.
>>98956169You can't tell the difference from them art wise? That's stupid
>>98956169Yeah cuz I'm not gonna waste my time trying to figure out whether the garbage looks better than trash.
>game stores are being broken into constantly>people are stealing>there are fightsAll because these companies artificially reduce stock, they can literally solve these problems, instantly, just make them game pieces instead of investments
I've posted my deck before, but can I get recs on what to change and add and shift? I've got no pet cards so be ruthless, but I'd like it to still be mono-red, and not rely on the commander but still be useful
>>98956031>>rest of table ignores himMy favorite twist to this is: you don't ignore the threat, table pushes your shit in
>>98956169pearls before swine anon, they are blind
>>98956183>>98956169samefag
>>98956185I play a mountain, tap it, cast Fanatical Firebrand and hit you for 1
>>98956188
>>98956185swing and a miss go to jail
>>98956193anyone can do that anon
>>98956196>anyonenot me
>>98955937>TQ: If you could create one custom card without worrying about balance, what would it do?it is siege rhino with deadeye navigator's abilities tacked on. slightly altered so it isn't absolutely broken.
But if he's the samefag and you're the samefag and we're out here and he's in there and he's the sheriff then where's the cave, man
>>98956199oh my bad then carry on
You didn't get the samefag? Then we still have a problem.
>>98956180>imodane>not rely on the commanderwrong commander bud. imodane is a combo deck where you dont play your commander until you got lethal.
>>98956214well fug no wonder I don't winI was thinking of switching her out with Solphim
>>98956216read this decks primer to understand imodane.https://moxfield.com/decks/GHGPbI5dj0m8V1Ud8e7TiQ
>>98956219I miss when people would use tapped out, is it really that hard to have a UI where comments/primers and the deck list are on a single page?
>>98956219>relies on himwait Imodane is a man?
>>989559552 more weeks now go back to your dead general
>>98956231aw poor ub sloppig
>>98956230my bad. shouldve typed it. i dont care about gender since it became a meme.
How much have you spent on proxies/custom cards anons?
>>98956070Yes.
>>98956238not enough
>>98956070Depends on your previous experiences with playing card games at all. If you're used to it, the precon should be fine. If you're not, check out the Foundations precons. The Green one is very simple and pretty powerful.
>>98956245based
>>98956120Yes and after Lorwyn she's stronger than ever. Star Trek even got her a few goodies.
>>98956238I still do the ol write on a basic land
>>98956251I would if my hand writing wasn't ass
>>98956238I have spent too much of coomette proxies.Don't get me wrong, like his stuff, but he's not made anything interesting to me in months.
>>98956256post proof
If I exile cards from my hand with Jacob Hauken, Inspector and he dies, can I return the cards I exiled with him with Fae of Wishes?
>>98956259nope
>>98956122Wotc is on crack if they don't try to hit up another JP anime IP at some point and spend the entire year swinging and missing with washed westoid franchises. They're already trying to court the anime audience with JP alt arts every other set. Just rip the bandaid off and do it already. I wanna see the smug HPfags go red in the face at a Naruto set reveal.
>>98956259Exile is a zone within the game.
>>98956261How come exile zone doesn't count as cards outside the game?
>>98956264Personally I like fractured reality a lot
>>98956258I mean, heres one of the last shipments I got from from him and a few other things
>>98956270I might get the she-hulk one day
>>98956270For me it's Inspiring Voyage
>>98956264Imo UB JJK or UB Demon Slayer. Maybe UB Dragon Ball because wotc executives are boomers and that's all they know. Worst case scenario is UB my hero academia, again because it's one of the few anime IPs western boomers and gen X approves of because all they know is capeshit. UB shonen jump or UB Fullmetal Alchemist would be kino. JJK if they want the zoom zoom audience. A gojo commander would be sweet
>>98956270Probably not. Every time you make a purchase from him, he adds bonus cards into them. The miku and she-hulk were the bonuses, they aren't in his store.
>>98956278>>98956273meant for
>>98955937Mutagenic Sliver(5)Colored mana must be used to pay Mutagenic Sliver's mana costMutagenic Sliver may not be cast from a graveyard or from exileMutagenic Sliver's color(s) matches the color(s) of the mana used to play Mutagenic SliverAll Slivers you control get +X/+X where X is the number of colors Mutagenic Sliver is.3/3
>>98956278fug then I should order from him so I can get some bonus shite
>>98956264You severely underestimate how out of touch and indoctrinated both Hasbro and WotC staff are. Magic has succeeded in spite of their efforts, not because of them. If there was any other company that wanted to seriously dominate the TCG market it would not be hard to do so.
>>98956264>>98956122just do both. make a metal gear set, appeals to those who like either western shit or weeb shit.
>>98956264Naruto tcg releases next year, otherwise that is something wotc would give us. Imo it's going to be UB sailor moon or UB kpop demon hunters, because wotc is ran by gays and troons
UB RANCE WHENUB GENOCYBER WHEN
>>98956288>gays and troons want to look at cute women!Yeah that's why UW is so full of cuties right?
>>98956284UB Harry Potter
>>98956288I could deal with a Salior Moon set honestly
>>98956288The truly out of touch anime boomer pick I could see them going for would be Inuyasha.
>>98956294>cute women!So far that only describes UB final fantasy and that was only because square Enix made them
>>98956122Godzilla!
Well bros apparently Slivers are godawful and linear, so what the hell deck should I build that relies on the whole swarm/hivemind thing, that's fun but not linear and interesting?
>>98956270brazillian miku....
>>98956315Slivers but you just tell your opponent that they're wrong.
>>98956307
>>98956315Wolves? I don't know anon just don't play slivers
>>98956315you can play small eldrazi but will get hated out just as much.or you can play elves and combo everyone out without being touched because elves are okay for some reason.
>>98956307I will avoid spamming the thread with images but the point is made pretty clear.
>>98956307Azula? Toph?
>>98956333That is not cute and has bisexual lighting
>>98956344>>9895634114 year old children
>>98956284The obvious counterpoint here is that making a better game than MtG is not difficult. Making one that remains relevant long enough to also become profitable is extremely difficult.
>>98956353Actually Toph is 12
>>98956315Most white based major creature types. Humans, Allies, Soliders, Cats, Spirits, Birds, Rabbits, and even Borg. Frankly anon just play what you wanna play if you're deck is decent someone will always hate it. No matter how you choose to play you are always going to be the perfect version of someone's magic douchebag player so do what you want and fuck the haters. Magic players are a bunch of whiners anyway who cares. Just play Slivers if you like them.
>>98956333>art:skintight-clothingUB is a blessing
>>98956315Insects fit the theme, and GB tends to work well with self-mill which can be a bit of a lottery with graveyard strats.
>>98956315elves or zombies are the ones with the most support.
>>98956361That looks like Dylan mulvaney. Are you gay, dude?
>>98956288KDH would be top 3 best selling of all time if they released it before 2030 which means they won't print it until after 2030 when the hype has long died.Sailor Moon would be gigabased as fuck, which means there's a 0.0% chance we'll ever get that.>>98956298Yes this is inevitable BUT it will only be after the show releases so brown Hermoine and Black Snape and all the other hyperwoke shit the show will do the franchise. And no Malfoid ever.
>>98956374you are implying i know who the fuck that is so less gay than you
>>98956356It would have to be a multimedia franchise that produces consistent material. They would need both stellar single player games and online clients, a good show, and of course really good writing/art for cards on top of a strong design philosphy. None of which is exactly hard, a bit pricey but not hard, but it would have to be a consistent 5-10 drive which current corporations are wholly incapable of creating and maintaining even if it meant massive profits within 10-20 years.
>>98956376There is no way kpop demon hunters has enough material to justify an entire set though
>>98956397haven;t seen it, but i bet that there is enough for a secret lair commander deck.
>>98956356>>98956386Magic is the most timeless and best TCG out there by far. That is why it has lasted the test of time despite having such lame and gay lore for so long. In theory UB fixes the lack of good lore problem. However in practice apart from FF and lord of the rings they keep picking lame boomer IPs like Star Trek, Dr Who, Marvel capeslop and TMNT
>>98956398They can do a k pop demon hunters and saja boys commander decks maybe, hatsune miku style, but until more movies come out it's no way deep enough to justify an entire set.
this archetype has a few good cards but a lot of bad ones too
>>98956250Why did they give him the face of an anime schoolgirl?
>>98956386>>98956399If your product will take 10 years to come to fruition there's better markets to go after than TCGs.
>>98956399Magic has never had any serious competition and if it weren't for commander wotc would've gone bankrupt in the 2010s.
>>98956361>her gloves let her touch someone without killing them>therefore when she hits an enemy while wearing the gloves that leads to good things The flavor here is really confusing me
>sharks are now gruul and izzet>spoiled precon is izzetThey're seriously going to fuck this up and not have a Temur shark commander, aren't they?
>>98956421You sniff them instead of wearing them
>>98956238No money because [spoer]it's too bothersome for me to figure out for what amounts to lame references[/spolier]
>>98956238 #No money because it's too bothersome for me to figure out for what amounts to lame references[/spolier
The shame that heaps upon me
>>98956449It's not too bad anon, I recently learned that and thought the same way you did until I started doing it. As long as you like doing it that's all that matters at the end of the day
>>98956456I kinda want to make some bionicle themed lands I suppose
fundamentally what's the difference between enterprise and parhellion such that they're different mechanics
>>98956460Do it nigga, once you learn how to do it you'll see it's not that bad
>>98955986This is the closest.
make a paper version
>>98956473The TQ actually got me thinking about this card again, opened a foil copy at prerelease that I still have. Swapped out steve for it, my curve can handle it.
>>98956080Slivers are hard to get in a set because of their mechanical identity. The each have to support each other which is hard to balance.Eldrazi are hated for ruining the planes they're on and their mana cost and colors make them hard to balance. Currently only Emrakul is the only one left and doesn't want to make more Eldrazi.Phyrexia are hated by most people so Wotc has to limit their use.
Something that has potential to be cool and also has the lore and characters to justify a set is Dune. Not Villenueve MCU Dune- actual Dune. Make UB Dune with no connection to the zendaya movies and it could be massive.Unfortunately- these Villenueve Dune cards are the best we'll ever get Dunewise. Sad.
>>98956499chat is this real
>>98956499Dunc sux
>>98956540Dune is awesome. The Zendaya movies are fucking trash and capeslop tier abominations.
>>98956546I'd tongue blast her fart box though
>>98956555You sound like you weigh over 270 lbs
>>98956568Actually I weigh about 240
>>98956315Just play slivers. They're overhated for how powercrept they are.
>>98956571Under 5'7" I presume?
>>989566005'10
>>9895660140% body fat manlet
