this is the first time I've ever heard of this also every black person is playing ygo not mtg
>trying to delete niggas from every piece of mediabased
>>696913216Uhhh our response, colorist bros??
>>696913216I guess thanks for teaching me a new racist term, fucking kala
lmao, corporate low hanging fruit social justice once againhttps://mtgrocks.com/mtg-kaladesh-renamed-avishkar/
>>696913216Yeah yeah sure cool, when's Atraxa rotating out of standard though
>>696913703I for one, am livid
>>696913792Don't worry about it. The important thing is that the game is now a little bit less racist and it is going to mean increased sales to the Modern Audience, right? Right?
>>696913216reminder that wizards of the coast hired the real-life pinkertons to go to a mans house and threaten him because he got an unreleased card by accidentit makes this incredibly performative sensitivity even more silly
>>696913792Brother standard just rotated. Just sideboard some graveyard hate
>>696913216>the word "black">racistHooo-oooooly fuck
>>696913216>OH MY SCIENCE DID YOU JUST SAY "BLACK"?????
>>696913216>let's squeeze evil from everythingSounds like the old inquisition or state censorship institution reviewing books
>>696913216today I'll remind them
hey i'm a diverse socionormative dextrosomal virging folx developer with a fear of conflictsgive me some game ideas without black
>>696913216>Calling a person black is derogatory>A person being black has certain "connotations"Lol.
>>696913216>hire and pay people like this >wonder why your game costs too much to make a profit

>>696913216in solidarity with corporate sweet baby liberalism, i'm burning all my bl*ck cards and only using white mana decks from here on out! wait how do i delete my bl*ck cards in arena?
>>696914486They haven't had to face the music with MtG yet because MtG whales are beyond salvation.Still, it is probably a matter of time until WotC's strategy of making MtG into Fortnite of card games loses it's novelty to consoomers.
>>696914605umm that's ichthyophobic, you chud

>>696914446My.old roommate got pissed for saying "black". My black roommate didn't care, she literally acted like I called the guy a nigger.
>>696913592racism is when you remove the black lady from the pancake syrup bottle because asians and indians wont buy your product if it has a black person on it but then you tell the stupid americans the reason you did it was because the real face of the company's actual founder was secretly an alt right dog whistle racial sterotype from a backwards era when blacks could successfully make their own products and companies without DEI initatives.
>>696913216Antiracism is getting more arcane and Byzantine by the day. Totally sane and sustainable.
>>696914872>you people are too stupid to realize that it’s offensive; I’ll be offended for youWhy are women like this?
>>696915005We were standing there having no idea what she was pissed about at first. We just thought she was normally freaking out again.
>>696913216>we look for the word "black" in 369 languages and ban them allYea im sure society think you are the sane one.
>>696914486Both MtG and DnD have successfully attracted the modern audience because nerds by default are tranny adjacent because they're desperate to fit in.It's also why BG3 was a success despite being woke as fuck, the DnD audience IS lefty faggots with purple hair.
>>696913592Sorta. What it is is enslavement. They think they own the concept of niggers and will act like a patent troll and harass anyone who does something they consider can represent niggers in any aspect.
>>696913703Stop oversaturating content you fucking niggers not everything needs to max out Rec.2020, most of nature doesn't even max out sRGB.
NOOOO I LOVED USING CARDS FROM KALADESH AND WATCHING MY BLACK OPPONENTS SQUIRM FUCK RACISM AND COLORIST BROS WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE GOING TO DO? WE WERE DEFEATED FUCK
>>696914976>create civil rights to promote black people>import forigners who hate black people>use civil rights to promote the people who hate black people>find out that all the bullshit you created to promote black people is actually how other groups make fun of black people>try to back track but not really because deep down you know its all made up bullshit and nobody is actually paying attention and if you wait a few minutes then everyone will just jump onto the next fake outrageand they all clapped
>>696913432Kek
FUCK NEROS
>>696915128>because nerds by default are tranny adjacentI've been a nerd all my life and I fucking hate women, niggers, and any alphabet person. Don't lump us in with you, trannoid.
>>696913216>never new this was a thing>never would have known this is a thing>for some reason libshits are announcing they not only found, but made a new racial slurThanks for the new ammunition, Kaladeshfaggots!
>>696913216I'm glad that WotC is finally deciding to take a stand against racism. This is a good first step. The next step is to fire their General Manager whose name is literally the B-word.
>>696913592The whole "we need to change orcs because they remind me of NIGGERS and that is very racist of orcs" was just a tip of the silliness to come.
>>696915313Nigel Schwartzmann, at your service.
>>696915294Diversity consultants need to constantly justify their existence and reinvent their mission to stay of payrolls, and suits are still retarded enough to believe that the Modern Audience still holds untapped billions that can be unlocked by making the product more diverse.
>>696913216"orcs remind me of niggers and thus we need to do better and change the orcs!" kind of argument
>>696913216>could have used a word associated with a negative interpretation of "black" but in a positive way, which over time would cancel out the negative interpretation of black with a neutral or even positive one>instead it was avoided and now kala as "black" will still have negative connotations the next time someone decides to use the word
>using Aetherflux Reservoir to BTFO the niggersAnd I won't forget to call them Kaladesh, either. Thanks WotC
>>696915271Yes, but nerd spaces are non-confrontational and will comply with every social norm dictated by the mass media.It's harder for trannoids to infiltrate other activities where people will tell them to fuck off, like historical miniature wargaming where mostly everyone is either a wermacht/napoleon/admiral nelson enthusiast who holds 19th century views, it's easier to infiltrate DnD because most nerds don't have that character.It's a fact, it's non-negotiable, the numbers speak for themselves, MtG and DnD are more successful than ever thanks to woke channels like Critical Role and shit like Stranger Things.
>>696915271You're an asshole, not a nerd
>>696914684hard to not make money when you focus on crossovers as 50% of your releases, but they've definitely lost a good chunk of their core audience over the past few years
>this word sounds like a bad word in another language so we cant use itbro whatever you do don't look up the name of the country that's south west of serbia
>>696915747>You're an assholeAll of these things degrade and ruin everything they touch. I will not apologize for not allowing you to ruin my hobbies.
>>696915313
>>696915702>It's harder for trannoids to infiltrate other activities where people will tell them to fuck offYou say that but they've never actually manage to go past the surface level. So cartoons and nonsense only kids would enjoy.
Doesn't this mean they were already woke when they made up the name, because they looked up some shitty African language to base it off of, instead of just making up a fantasy name?
>>696915878Niger?
>>696916125Sorry to say mate but you got terminal brainrot
>>696915702Tabletop RPGs are kind of a hobby that leads into oldfags retreating into their old bubbles, so everything mainstream becomes a Current Thing hugbox. The grognards wouldn't be playing modern D&D even if it was cool and based, literally nothing will make them move on from old editions and OSR retroclones.
>>696913216This literally proves the point you absolute retard, holy shit you are so fucking stupid
did the consultants say angels had to all be black now
>>696913216Diversity consultants are the most important part of any game dev team, no game should ever be made without them
>>696915906They're at every point of control in software houses, you had a couple of trannies in chief positions during the last US admin, there's trannies everywhere in the army due to lgbt hiring and promotion practices, and as proven by this thread they can influence marketing and expansion policies of businesses with their retardy. Remember Concord? No trannies on that team, but the game was fully tranny coded and cost Sony 200-400 millions.Meanwhile, the company where I work at has 0 trannies because it's fintech, and it's ran like an man's club(all exec are men, HR is bitchy ladies in high heels but no trannies, and when my manager receives a cv from a tranny he just throws it in the trash). Game devs were fucked ever since LGBT soft power became a thing.
>>696913432fpbp
>>696913216same game that has black as the color associated with crime and cruelty while white is associated with order and healing btw
>>696915810Doesn't matter how much of their core audience they burn. Their plan is to get new casuals from other fandoms of comics, vidya, and movies to play EDH and burn them as well
>>696913216total Kala death
>>696913216>"kala" can also be associated with the meani-WHO THE FUCK CARES
>>696917342They should get rid of black and white (replace with purple and yellow)
>>696913621Funny how minorities seem to prefer companies that don't give a fuck about shit like this
Meanwhile the UK literally has a region called the "Black Country".
>>696917426No one does, and they haven't figured this out yet
>>696917589Does MtG have anything comparable to Albaz and Ecclesia?
>>696917589real niggas don't give a shit, they play what they want and watch what they like. cardfight vanguard had a whole archetype of cards called 'negro' and none of the black cardplayers gave a shit and played the deck anyway

"I HATE KALADESH" he thought. Sweet Oblivion is Two CMC reverberated his entire Vehicle, making it pulsate even as the $9 aether circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of minorities after dark. "With an omenpath, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.

>>696914359This is how you know these people are utterly incapable of ever producing something creative or worthwhileHands down the best characters and stories are written by people with a different kind of brain working at full capacity
>>696913216this is a joke right
>>696922206Old magic's lore was just a rip off of Aliens and LotR mushed together and eventually some MCU elements Anyone can do that

>>696913216Every day some blue haired fat woman seethes at the fact that multiple languages still use their version of Negro for black, and I love it. Even fucking Esperanto uses it.
>>696917589They dont do it because they like minorities, they do it as a way to gain power through social shaming "look at me Im doing the right thing and you are not, Im a good person!, what do you mean refugees are coming to my neighborgood nonono take them somehwere else"

>>696914446Hmmmm curious...
>>696913216>>696913784didn't they have DEI consultants for the original khaladesh, i remember reading some seething nonsense about the british empire
>>696914908I didn't even think of that, now it makes sense
>>696923832Ripping off 2 of the most popular fantasy franchises in the 80's isn't hard. Just being real
Shouldn't need a consultant for fucking anything unless you're doing something cultural/religious/historical and don't want rookie mistakes slipping through on that end, but even finding someone unbiased in those regards is difficult these days.
>>696913916I legit thought they stopped existing after that whole union busting thing they were used for. That event caused me to realize they still fucking exist somehow.

>>696915128>>696915702nerd revisionism from people like you is even fucking worse than UH DIDNT YA KNOW THAT GIRLS PLAY GAEMS TOO??? nonsenseall of these corporate entities have made a bid towards the general market of low-commitment normalfags, as stigma towards being a nerd (read: enthusiast) and stereotypically nerdy interests has fadedand it is precisely that outsider status that makes hardcore enthusiasts suspicious of corporate whoredom and poseurs jumping aboard the bandwagon, the latter are simply more numerous, and so are easily able to get involved in their own circles (rather than engaging with grognards)it's absolutely inane to claim that nerds are non-confrontational, especially when it comes down to the subject of their enthusiasm
>>696913216Kala means fish, it has nothing to do with niggers.Seriously though, is this the kind of non-work diversity consultants do? Run through made up names just in case they could mean something offensive in some obscure language?
>>696925294They probably bring it up on purpose just to fact check it later and say they're doing work

>>696925584Wait when the fuck did they destroy totem armor
>>696914359>the absolute last reaction we want to elicit is "Ugh, not THIS again."it's exactly what they do when they include nogs, latinx, poojeets, mudslimes, and other forms of DIEversity in media. it's the dieversity consultants who turn great stories into bland formless blobs that appeal to no one. their work literally consists in to propping up certain minority and ethnic groups at the expense of quality. it creates a massive conflict of interest too, since they need to censor stuff or they don't get paidI'm apalled by the extreme level of cognitive dissonance
>>696926917I think a bit before MH3 but it's never been printed on a card since it's a shitty one-off mechanic from 15 years agofrankly it's still nowhere near as gay/retarded as replacing tribal with kindred. even woke redditors don't use that embarrassing term and just say typal instead.

>>696928113From what I gather, the crossover cards are despised for destroying the eternalest formats, but with how many people play them I don't know it would be relevant enough to kill fucktards of the coast.
>>696928330Yeah. These are the same people who unironically post /pol/ screenshots to justify their crusade. A handful of brown schizos shitposting within the confines of their own containment board is apparently the biggest threat to social equality in the west. They are that desperate for windmills to tilt at.

>>696925663old enough to do your mom
>>696929634>From what I gather, the crossover cards are despised for destroying the eternalest formatsthe crossover cards (beisdes The One Ring) aren't even the biggest issue with magic, and I hate saying that because they're a serious fucking issue.they keep printing more broken shit, keep letting hoagie's and nadu's and oko's have a reign of terror before "listening and learning," keep rotating non-rotating formats, keep designing EVERYTHING for commander, etc.I genuinely think the pivot to "fortnite with cards" is the only thing keeping magic afloat at the moment but that bubble's gonna burst sooner rather than later. how many popular IPs are left for them to exhaust? It's not like they can ever have a crossover with pokemon, or star wars, or dragon ball. they have their own card games.
>>696914872People are retarded and always have been.Years and years ago, when I was in middle school, I got suspended for three days once because I was talking about dumping things into black holes. Saying "black holes" was extremely racist, apparently. We had just been taught about black holes in science class two hours before I got suspended, and its the entire reason I was even talking about it.
>>696913216I've been trying to tell this to faggots since day 1. Culture war youtubers (and tweeters) have the convinced that companies like Sweet Baby Inc are some bond level villain, holding guns to developers heads saying: "You better let us ruin your game or we're gonna ruin your life". Because they're cartoon villains who just want video games to be bad. When the reality is that all they do is get hired when devs write characters outside of their own culture knowledge. To avoid shit like Mass Effect Andromeda, where a tranny character basically greeted you by saying: "Hi, I used to be a man named [man name], but I'm happy now!" That's literally all they do. Make sure that minority groups are written in a way that makes sense for that minority. If Rowling had one, she wouldn't have fucking named an asian character "Cho Chang" both names of different kind of asians that she probably thought of by rhyming "ching chong".
>>696930560>"You better let us ruin your game or we're gonna ruin your life". Because they're cartoon villains who just want video games to be bad.and you'd be correct
>>696914359Ugh, not THIS again.
>>696930379>that bubble's gonna burst sooner rather than later. how many popular IPs are left for them to exhaust?On one hand, I think they can go on essentially forever. I know that there's a couple of weeb TCGs that survive solely of doing anime crossover and they've lasted for years if not decades at this point.But on the other, we don't have the same definition of "essentially forever" as Hasbro shareholders. For now, everything is fine as long as they keep making more money every year, trading brand equity and identity for cash, but you're right that it's not sustainable, even assuming that they pivot into 80% or even 100% crossovers.Sooner or later, they'll hit a couple of misses, and seeing as their core audience has already left, nobody buying into one crossover would be devastating, even if it's a single miss in a year.
>>696930768does anybody actually like kayaI mean this sincerely, I know she's hated on 4chan for obvious reasons but even within the communities she's clearly designed for, the impression I've always gotten is they don't like her over boring old Jace and his snake waifu
>>696930379They can revisit them as many times as the execs can manage. Also, are those really actuall significant money makers for MTG? From what I understand those cards aren't on Arena and Vintage and Legacy are more of necessary evils than actual, supported formats.
>>696913784This is so dumb. But thats what woke revolves around

>>696930912people were extremely vocal when they thought she had killed Vorinclex back in Kaldheim in normie circles because of poor assumptions, but she does have legit fans just like every character
>>696931053>Also, are those really actuall significant money makers for MTG?iirc the LOTR set is one of their biggest money printers evernow granted they'll never admit this is because they printed a 1 of 1 chase card just to lure in scalpers (and then probably pulled a mcdonalds monopoly with it) but still.
>>696930768how is every single character in mtg so intolerably dull and/or unappealingthey exist as art on a card and it's never interesting, 90% of them could have been made by an AI or committee
>>696930912Kaya is just a nothing character since its original debut. She was a ruthless mercenary in her first appearance, but then they started to try to change her characterization here and there to make her fit their "justice league" gatewatch shit, but then that model of story telling was put to the side, but they still want to push her so she's just killing people left and right she had no business being able to kill.She's just a nothing character, just beat by Vivien Reid in the blandness competition.
>>696931053>From what I understand those cards aren't on Arenathe lord of the rings cards are, not sure about others like the commander precons (probably not) but the future ones that get whole dedicated sets are definitely arriving as well.>and Vintage and Legacy are more of necessary evils than actual, supported formats.I was mostly talking about modern with the horizons sets, but it's still extremely damning that a format that literally just exists to quarantine broken shit from the era where they didn't think players would even buy singles gets rotated by something released three months ago.
>>696931164Well, because it's the only one that actually not only playable cards, but Pseudo-P9 tier cards in it like le ring of healthy meta, ork sharpshooter and legolas says fuck you. From what I understand noone cares about Fallout, Dr Who and the others, and I imagine LOTR wouldn't be any different if it also was an effective un-set like the rest.
>>696931436>and I imagine LOTR wouldn't be any different if it also was an effective un-set like the rest.I think you missed the memo where they were planning to make all future UBs standard legal
>>696913216How many words for "nigger" are out there?
>>696913432Sparking!
>>696930705>person makes joke in presentation>HURR THEY'RE ADMITTING IT, THEY'RE ADMITTING IT.Nigger, it's fucking obviously a joke, based around the SBI hate that went around at the time. Looking at this and going "But no, they want to destroy it!" is about as dumb as that time that faggot choir did the "We're coming for your children" song, and every right wing media outlet went "THEY ADMITTED IT!!!" fully ignoring that the rest of the song was: "And turn them into nice people instead of assholes". Btw when you read "That Dark Place" You're just reading this guys shit opinions: https://twitter.com/jftrentYour average, right wing christfag. How likely do you think some trumpoid tweeting "Christ is King" is gonna give you unbiased news on a fucking diversity consulting firm? Jesus fucking Christ man. Have some self respect.
>>696931545Yes, yes I did. I imagine that will turn off a lot of people, not only 4chan chuds.
>>696931436>From what I understand noone cares about Fallout, Dr Who and the othersthey all sold at least well. 40k was the best selling commander set at the time of its release, only to be beaten by Fallout when it came out. Dr Who did ok but seeing as it came at a weird time for its franchise (and it not having the greatest consoomer fanbase), it's not suprising it didn't do too well
>>696931794But aren't many of the cards extremely confusing, mechanically unviable or even outside the scope of the Comprehensive Rules in many cases? I try not to pay too much attention to them but I've seen some with YGO tier textboxes or renamed defunct mechanics.
>>696932621Eh, the Who cards are parasitic but not outside the scope of the rules besides needing to add more rules which every set of cards does.
>>696913216See you in 10 years when Avishkar is low-key racist in another language.

>>696925663Probably older than you because the song first released in 1989.
I hated Kaladesh because of the energy garbage. Such a gay mechanic. I bet the racing set is gonna have it too.Can't wait for Tarkir, bros.
>>696932621>extremely confusing>mechanically unviable>outside the scope of the rulesnone of these are an issue with commander players, so it's no wonder they sold like hotcakes

>>696913216>coloristthe newspeak never ends
>>696931726You people are getting bolder. I can’t believe your bosses gave you the okay to use the gamer word to try and fit in. Must be desperate after that CEO got popped lmao.
>>696935541Wizards did not fuck up Ixalan, Eldraine, Dominaria, Kamigawa, Innistrad, Zendikar or Theros, thoughbeit. They have a good track record.The only one that comes to mind is Ravnica and even that is only in the retarded detective hat set and le ebin Marvel laser beam into the sky finale, Guilds and Allegiance were good.Not to mention that Tarkir itself has a record breaking time for ruining itself cause it happened within its own block KWAB

are they going to ban every single spanish black card?
>>696913432Fippy Bippy
>>696936593>Dominaria is le fucked because muh blacksOh, right, I posted as if this was a MTG thread when I was in fact posting in a /pol/ thread. I keep giving /v/ too much credit.
>>696937147>because muh blacksYup, thet's the entire point of the thread, anon.
>>696937030god imagine banning all darksteel cards because portuguese translated them as aço negro
>>696937030No because cats are neat, even in spanish

>>696935361>Can't wait for Tarkir, bros.really? when they announced a return to lorwyn my reaction wasn't "oh boy I love that plane can't wait to see it again" it was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08i9kvCJvJ0
>>696913216Are they implying black is automatically derogatory?
>>696913432>Nigger Head Niggerbased
>>696917763Jace and Vraska I guess. But no, not really. Branded lore was as good as Yugioh is ever going to get and it feels like an accident.
>>696913592Yes, but it's their flavor of racism so it's okay. Lefties are some of the biggest racists but they think they're doing it in the name of "anti racism" so it's justified.See: Lefties screeching MUH CULTURAL APPROPRIATION any time non-white culture is used anywhere
>>696913592it's the funniest type of racism toounintentional internalized racism
>>696913216Do normal people even still play mtg? All the people I know personally that still play and buy cards are actual fags and trannies. I assumed that it was just fully colonized at this point.
You double kala
I don't even understand why you fags bitching about politics ever liked Tarkir to begin with, considering that was the set with the first ever tranny representation. Shit, it might still be like the one plane that has actual tranny representation. I know there's that non-buynary xhem planeswalker but that's a bit different.Do you fags hate Bloomburrow too? Is there some politics there I'm not aware of?God, I hate outrage bait fags. You just live to cry about politics.
>>696930705
>>696938058It's pretty much colonized, yeah. People who play just play Commander as a board game.
>>696927132Ugh, not THIS again.
>>696926041Every. Time.
If you literally hire someone to find problems then they will find problems, or they didn't do their job.
>>696913216
hardly new
No black people in KCD: riotNo white people in Tsushima: silenceAnd yes whites are a minority on this planet.
>>696938235Because Khans block the last time Standard was fun
>>696936180>>696936593The only good Dominaria set in "recent" MTG was the self-titled set and that was because Garfield himself was around to not let them fuck it up.>Innistrad isn't fuckedIt's irrelevant now since they wasted two sets doing fucking nothing in it besides a gay political wedding that lead nowhere and adding witches that came off as super fucking self-centered because it's implied they've been around forever yet didn't lift a single finger to help when the eldrazi were mutating everybody.>EldraineLame and shitty from inception.
>>696938480>haven't taken action against any additional cards in the four years since>>696938537
will they change the black mana?
>>696938537Dominaria was itself a fuck up for printing a bajillion legendary creatures to fully cement the shift to Commander as the main focus
>>696924168DEI consulting has been a grift for DECADES.
>>696936593Dominaria is the plane where you would 100% expect to see black people, you dumb tourist. Literally go look at Mirage block. You dumb kneejerk fags cant even apply outrage to the right places.
>>696938956>you would 100% expect to see black peopleIt's not because blacks exist, it's because it was blackwashed.
>>696938537Bad taste
>>696913216This is the dumbest shit I've ever read
>>696938657It was the last kino limited set. Everything since then has been utter trash.DOM draft rivals OG Innistrad
>>696922535>Old magic's lore was just a rip off of Aliens and LotR mushed togetherI can say definitively you were born after 9/11 if you are saying this stupid shit with a straight face.
>>696913592Not this time since the translation is basically blacks city (derogatory)
>>696938058Normalfaggots buy secondary market cards to play commander. Because they play commander, they do not care about cards being balanced or the story. They do not even look at what the card represents and only at effects and creature types. This is their primary customer base which buys shit like crossovers. Their bulk customer base is a bunch of "investors" who missed out on black lotus and hoard sealed product hoping something will go up in price. Regular magic is essentially dead. Nobody plays it and wizards no longer designs cards for it.
>>696913216Isnt Kaladesh an indian realm? Wtf
>>696936593Ixalan was great though. Conquistador vampires that actually had edge and an actually savage Mayan stand-in made that plane feel like it wasn't pulling punches until the Oltecs were added as the universal good guys in Lost Caverns.
>>696916204They would be buying modules and artbooks.Little to no chance of that happening right now however.
>>696917589Dude, magictrannies go only rope mode whenever they see that the deck that the blacks like the most is Blue Eyes White Dragon and that they are about to get a structure deck that's named white supremacy
>>696922805Plus they're in a bubble where "sensitivity consultants" are constantly showing up at their doors demanding work. Their environment matters a lot.
>>696931678
There is nothing woke with changing the name of a setting that you accidentally named nig country
>>696920486It was killed off by kicking out old real artists for such 'crimes' as retweeting some funny Alex Jones thing and replacing them with CG photobash drones.
>>696931326Vivien Reid is based when she's just Steve Irwin
>>696935361why the fuck is there energy in a game where lands and mana are already a thing?
>>696935361>energy comes back in 2024>kills ModernWell done WotC. Stellar job
>>696939841No one said anything about it until they hired a race grifter who needed to justify their wage.
>>696938575Taken a lot of action to make it even more gay though
>>696930560>>696931726You are too redpilled for /polv/
>>696913432NO IMPORTA LO QUE SUCEDASIEMPREEL ANIMO MANTENDRÉ
>>696939928It was a "high tech" artifact plane and they wanted an "electricity" mechanic
>>696938235Virtually no one gets upset about diversity in a vacuum, even for troons.It's just fatigue from all the blatant hamfisting in the past 10-15 years
>>696939928It's MaRo's pet mechanic.It sucks so fucking hard kek.I DON'T WANT TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR GAY ENERGY COUNTERS, MARO, FUCK OFF.If the racing set has energy in it, I'll draft it like three times then move on.
>>696940097>legacy media jew cannot fathom thinking outside of himselfMaRo is the Human Male Warrior meme personified
>>696940148Except /tg/ and even /v/ were bitching about Alesha back then too.
>>696940097>ten years later >make a set made up entirely of non-anthropomorphic animals, including turning a human PW into literally just an otter>everyone loves it and calls it the best set in yearsMaRo really is the dumbest nigger alive
>>696914446This is the easiest way to tell if anyone has any critical thinking skills. When eventually every single term used to describe a certain group bothers them after some time but they can’t find any fault in calling a White person any particular term, you know they’ve got a few screws loose and are secretly some sort of White nationalist in denial.
>>696939782Aren't Vanilla Gorillas just white people who act like niggers?
>>6969402522014/2015 is around when things went south
have wiztards removed all white men from MTG yet?im not touching it until they do
>>696938657No, the legendary aspect was to be a big callback to all the cool stuff and characters from the original dominaria sets. Just because WotC took the wrong lessons (as they always do) from the set doesn't mean it wasn't fun to always get a decently powerful card with each booster and as the other anon said, it was a great draft experience.
>>696931323>how is every single character in mtg so intolerably dull and/or unappealingI mean I liked Urza and most things connected to Urza. Kamahl from oddysey block and Jeska were had a cool story over like 6 blocks culminating in Jeska becoming a false god that Kamahl struck down. Akroma was and Ixidor were fairly unique etc. All before the shitty "modern" planeswalker era though. Yawgmoth being more of a Lovecraft style presence than villain until the end of that story helps set the tone better for everything up to invasion.Magic sucks these days.
>>696940056does death not get to be gay then
>>696938474>Legacy of the Void was about whitewashing an entire racespam this on blizz's forums and you'll likely see them scurry about trying to turn Amon into a fruit bowl
>>696940056They didn't do this this year or last year and I'm bummed because it's funny.
>>696935361>Can't wait for Tarkir, bros.they already said that tarkir will have huge retcons and redesigns because of cultural representation reasons
>>696942814I bet it will be good
>>696922806You think that funny? I walked through blood in bones through the streets of manhattan trying to find my brother
>>696942814>because of cultural representation reasonsbut Tarkir is already based on non-white cultures>Abzanturks>Jeskainepal>Sultaikhmer>Mardumongols>Temurmountain mongols????
>>696941102So the early life section strikes again?
>>696943420*racist caricatures of nonwhite cultures
>>696943420yes, cultures that aren't properly represented. like the sultai are literally the creepy backstabbing poisoner asian stereotype. so they will instead be a more martial, honorable culture now. rakshasa being tigers is a dnd invention, so they will lose the cat subtype and look like pic related.
>>696913216Black == bad in every languageOk thanks negro.
Is wokeshit ever going to go away bros? Be honest...
>>696914705>umm that's ichthyophobic, you chud
>>696913216Are they saying Kala rhymes with Color, and there are "people of color", therefore Kala is racist?
>>6969132161/5 of the game is black, doe
>>696944082
>>696913216Who gives a shit that a third connotation can be made in some communities. Anyone who sees you're a boring white person trying to make a video game with the best of intents will know you're just not paying attention to those things, instead of misconstruing some sort of "evil intent.">You're treading on someone's toesAgain, who gives a fuck?
>>696940097>there are lots of studies that people relate more to characters like themselvesSo all modern media wants hot women to never touch it?
>>696913216Why are niggers so fragile?
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION FIR A MOMENT I have come here to seethe at the face that I literally cannot buy Duel of the Planeswalkers 2013+ all its dlc, literally anywhere. It cannot be emulated, it cannot be pirated with all th dlc, it cannot be brought. It is lost to time and I am pissed about it. Rest in peace sweet princess. I WILL NEVER DOWNLOAD ARENA BTWYOU HEAR THAT WIZARDS?! YOU GREEDY FUCKS
>>696927132>latinxdie
Stuff like this only makes me more racist
>>696915347>this fantasy race of stupid, violent subhuman creatures reminds me of niggers>I'm not racist though
>>696913216It feels to me that part of the DEI/ESG agreement is to make X inclusive posts/changes/announcements per period of time. this came out of nowhere. Why the fuck I would care some pajeet is cryingBENCHOD BLOODY KAHLADESH BASTARDout loud?but then, maybe indians DO use this word daily. does MTG has any presence in India at all?
>>696947803does the death effect trigger the lifelink?
>>696947803>does MTG has any presence in India at all?No one but american whites play MTG. YGO and Pokemon rule the rest of the world.
>>696948004sure does
>>696948310holy shit8 mana is a lot though
>>696943420Not dark enough.
>>696913860anon I just want you to know that I understand and appreciate your joke.
>>696913432Dragonball Z and it's theme song will be considered a "nazi dogwhistle" from now on. You heard it here first, folks.
>>696945163>WOTC/Hasbro kikery, pic related.I with you. I have a few of these and can't even unlock all the cards to play with. That's why I don't play Arena. I also shit all over the game to my friend who still give money to Hasbro. Fuck them.
MTG is like wow in that some people just can't let it go, no matter how must worse it gets. It's a lifestyle to them, I vital part of their identity.
>human this>human thatI miss the era where the majority of cards were creatures or monsters.
wtf I didn't know they actually renamed the plane in-universethat is the dumbest thing everthey are really going out of their way to ruin their own IP even before the UB sets
I have been disconnected from the MTG world for some years, but is it true that they are trying to push pic related as the mascot of the game? If so, for what purpose?
>>696913784>>696913216This is even dumber than when they banned that "destroy all black creatures" card. Wokefags are truly low IQ retards.
>>696920707shit drama with her parents put me offabsolutely retarded drama with my girl yakumo put me even more off
>>696949729where have you been man, people go insane nowadays for a cutesy mascot, especially women and trannies
>>696949729they are trying with multiple characters like thatalso tinybonesfblthpand planeswalkers like Kellan, who is like some shounen hero who travels between planes or something gay. I wish they focused way more on cool creatures and monsters(it's because they hate their own fanbase and call them grognards and want to replace them with different demographics btw)
>>696949729marketable plushies
>>696913216Whoever came up with this must also be into astrology
>>696949978>>696949978>>696950110I mean, yeah, but MTG didn't need any of that mascot crap. The interesting part were the cards themselves.
>>696941102lmao
>>696949125Yep. It's actually fucking sad. I also think this is WHY the wokecult targets franchises like this for their propaganda and why "progressive" ideas propagate.
>>696950059>and planeswalkers like Kellan, who is like some shounen heroI still remember when Jace was the designated shonen hero.
>oh no, what if we offend black peopleThey're offended by everything, and also I like offending them, because it's funny.Your move?
>>696949125I think anyone who played locals a lot is going to miss what they used to have. I understand people move on from on hobbies, but the way magic ended for a lot of people sucks
>>696915601The thing is that they don't want to make a "positive" black word. They want blacks to continue to use nigger. The point is to always 'retreat' into the future. Whites are not meant to have a positive association of any word for blacks. They want nigger to continue to be in the zeitgeist, to try to make whites feel guilty. Even when prominient blacks have said that they need to stop using and promoting the use of nigger so that it can fall out of cultural relevance. It is the chain that continues to bind blacks and make them slaves, even into modern day and that was by design.
>>696913216Imagine paying 6 figures to a company to invent problems for your own company.
>>696940097You can tell this kike doesn't understand that relateability =/= popularity.I mean look at the other popular card games. The most well known cards in those aren't humans.
>>696936180Theros and Innistrad became a parody of themselves
>>696915601Every word used to describe blacks will become a slur with the passage of time by virtue of association.
>>696913703we need to rise up and color OUTSIDE THE LINES.
>>696950468>Your move?
I have been playing magic on my phone and it is alright. i tried that jump in mode to test more varied decks and fucking hell what the fuck is a detective anyways?also, in a similar note i tried catching up to yugioh to see what's up nowadays and the when watching the 2024 finals the first player took like 3 minutes to finish his first play.
>>696951479I mean they already made black a slur and tried to remove blacklisting.
>>696951545The eternal turns in YGO have been a staple to the game since the Synchro era.
>>696951545Turns are faster than they were a year ago in yugioh at least.
>>696918097>It's moraly desirable to shun down free speechHow dare they even consider that as a positive lmao
>>696951704i haven't played it since normal mounter were viable and a few video games>>696951795i cant even imagine how long those could be
>>696951545Jump In is pretty based. Low effort drafting.
According to diversity consultants, you can't use the word "night" because it contains "nig" and which is shorthand for NIGGERSSame energy.
>>696952156yeah, i picked secrets / detectives and it has been pretty alright
>>696913432NÃO IMPORTA O QUE ACONTEÇA
>>696952576What's your rare detective type card?
>>696952003Yugioh had some very>your turn? OUR turndecks that you can just go full combo on your opponents turn. When you're basically playing two turns at the same time the turn time got stupidly high.
>>696952505And niggers are so fucking dark you can't see them at night anyway while the stupid monkeys are jaywalking. This is why Shadowmoor will not be appearing in Return to Lorwyn.
>>696913216I am a professional racist that may as well get professionally paid for being racist. I have yet to hear about Kala being racist to blacks. On my Racism Elo of 2100 we use a very large list of words, but none start with Kala. What the fuck is the Elo of the Racism consultants they are using?
>>696952631idk let me check, i just started playing with the deck right away without looking at the card.
>>696915128the truth /v/ doesn't like to hear
>>696951545Yugioh is completely fucked and will never get better. If you think 3 minutes is long you haven't seen how bad it can, and often does, get.
>>696952840Yeah, there is a reason they created the Rush Duel format.
>>696952631if you mean the legendary creature that comes with the deck then it is Ezrim, Agency Chief.>>696952840I believe youare there any card games that are f2p friendly and not a complete mess?
>>696953034Not really. Most CCGs have been around long enough that they've gotten hit with escalating piles of power creep. You can play through the solo mode of Shadowverse. That's pretty good. The sequel is coming out next year which is what I'm holding out hope for.
>>696951545I moved from YGO to TCGP last month, I like that it's giga casual and the matches are quick. I can squeeze around 3 matches every time I go to shit.
>>696953034Oh, yeah, Ezrim justified detectiveslop by himself lol
>company discovers a Black Panther universe where everything is glorified and pristine>bans itKEKWAKANDA FO-EVAH
>>696954260so i guess I'll do ok
>>696954439Black Panther 2 was racist as fuck, it was hilariousThey try to glorify blacks with a non existant high tech culture, but since they're Califucktards they made them bang electro bongos, live in high tech huts and chuck high tech spearsAs a mexican is like they made something like AzTech, and every house is a pyramid with a taco dispenser (would use tho)
>>696917890I thought the Underdark was a city itself
>>696956180SBI didn't stop Marvel on that though
>>696956180That's what the cultural sensitivity consultants told them to do.
>>696913216Reminder that these people call us racists
>>696956528>>696956606I was falling off my seat in laughter when they tell some operators to open a sci fi door and they start banging some bongos and howlingWhat the fuck its real
>>696953448I swapped to Shadowverse Evolve and it's unironically the most fun I've had with a physical TCG. I really enjoy Pokemon but the lack of interaction relegates it to a side game for me.
>>696956180>As a mexican is like they made something like AzTechThey were not that far off with the Namor shit.
>>696956606almost like that shit is a scam
>>696916028Oh, so this has a name? Because even mainstream """memes""" these days are nothing but niggers yelling and making soifaces at the camera. I don't even watch the news anymore because it's full of niggers too. Everything everywhere is niggers, and i want out.
>>696951879Because fundies and wokeists have degraded our culture to that point.
>>696937030>>696937261>>696922701Negro isn't a slur tho
>>696957132tell that to the negroes
>>696956958But they have expensive degrees from Ivy League Universities!
>>696952732>Smaug>just a picture of him, not even the real thingThe fuck were they thinking?
>>696913216These people need to disappear
>>696957327>The fuck were they thinking?"How can we make a picture of a dragon politically correct?"
>>696951479This. It's like retard. Retard used to be the kind word they replaced moron with. And moron was the kind word they replaced idiot with. As long as niggers will be niggers, any word associated with them will become derogatory. That's why it's futile to ban specific words when the comparison is being made to a concept. Everyone knows what a tard is, it doesn't matter what name you select for them.
>>696913216>Made an in-story reason for the change, instead of memory-holing the original name and pretending the old sets never existedThat's already a step in the right direction, maybe the pendulum is starting to finally swing back.
>>696936180you spend a lot on your hobby? then surely you are willing to spend even more
>>696931726>>696930560>all this projectionSBI Detector was a perfect example of 'just don't like 'em. Simple as.' No doxxing, no harassment, not even any direct criticism. Just identification of whether or not a certain consultation firm worked on a game. Most companies would see this as a good thing; if they were truly proud of what they were doing, they would appreciate the free advertising. Instead, they started a crusade to antagonize them as much as possible
>>696956956In Neo Leon, MexiCANs live an age of advancements. Technologies have been researched for hard-light ponchos to sleep even comfier under the holo-cactus in the deserts of what once was called Texas. The Tequila Serum has made the Super Jaguar Warrior even stronger and they threaten every other country in the world due to their fierceness and shape shifting armors called N.A.H.U.A.L.
