Digital chad can't stop winning!
For reference, here's the paper equivalent
>>720908115Spider-Man is the coolest hero ever
>>720908335cape shit. I'd rather have another set about bunnies and animals than have to look at some comic book garbage.
>>720908390Man I miss when capeshit was done in moderation and just seamlessly easy to enjoy.
>>720908115Kek they're doing a capeshit crossover? I stopped playing after Ravnica around 20 years ago
>>720908081Why is there bnuuy
What went wrong?
>>720909843Bloomburrow.Best set from 2024.
>>720910352Bloomburrow was so cool. What the fuck were they thinking with Aetherdrift and all the other shitty in-universe sets lately? Not to mention the fucking collab sets, but that's another issue altogether
>>720910679Whatever trannies doing magic storyline got jaded and pissy that noone liked war of spark and phyrexian invasion so obliviously the conclusion was to the big suits that people dont want serious lore and story but wacky races and crossovers
>>720910352Isn't that the characters from Sunderfolk?
>>720910923You mean Redwall?
>>720910815>hype up phyrexian invasion for years>they end up jobbing every single invasion outside of some throwaways nobody cares about
>>720908115That spiderman card at least looks cool, the one with the fatfuck in a chair is the biggest offender since Arnea got a really cool Simic variant
>>720911190There's many cards in the paper set that feels disruptive to Magic's general flavor.
>>720910352>Bloomburrow>Includes hearthfire heroYeah, no, fuck that set.
>>720911362Heartfire Hero has been banned from Standard recently.
>>720910679>What the fuck were they thinking with AetherdriftThere'll never bee a good argument against Aetherdrift as a concept. In execution, sure, there were flaws, but fuck if you actually hated the idea of MTG Wacky Races then you are just the definition of autistic unfun.
>>720910679>aetherdriftThat one just felt bizarre to me. "let us all play Mario Kart, but hey, don't forget to invite that guy who tortured his entire plane and was invading others just to look for more things to torture lol". Maro is really don't give a single fuck about the game and just do whatever Hasbro tell him to do.
>>720911190>the one with the fatfuck in a chairthis one?
>>720910352Obligatory>THE WORK OF ONE WHO CONSORTS WITH BEASTSStill a pretty good set though
How bad is mtga grind? I don’t want to give hashbros a single cent but I will play their game for FREE and proxy all my cards
>>720911679Okay, you pretty much gain enough gold to buy a booster every 2 or 3 duels, plus you have wildcards to just get whatever card you want from a set if you need. Most of the purchases are for cosmetics or participating in events.
>>720910815Same people that seethed endlessly about "Jacetice League" jokes? I wonder how they feel about the "Hat Set" label.
>>720911679dont play arena
I love Magic: the Gathering.
>>720911972this you? >>720911890
>>720911972That card desperately needs the in-universe version reprinted in paper.
>>720911470I know. But the time it did spend in standard does not make me like Bloomburrow any more.
>>720912009shh
>>720911961Arena is currently the only way to play Standard and Modern though
>BloomburrowNice. Not my vibe but I like it. Otters had some fun cards.>FoundationsOkay. Core sets aren't ever really special but they are fine.>DuskmournReally good, best limited in years>AetherdriftFun limited, otherwise garbage >Final Fantasy Can go die in a fire>Edge of EternitiesHas Tezzeret (i love Tezzeret). 10/10.>Spiderman Can go die in a fire>OmenpathsVery funny how they have to bend over backwards to fit that shit into the actual game.UB truly is the cancer and the death of everything good about Magic. I fucking hope Spiderman flopping teaches them a lesson but I know it won't.
>>720910352Is Bloomburrow the last (read: only) good set in recent memory?
>>720912114>modern You meant pioneer?
>>720911972>one with everything>does not draw your entire deck
>>720912186Oh Dragonstorm was okay I guess. I'd almost forget it happened entirely if it wasn't for Cutter.
>>720912186wasn't Tezzeret black?
>best modern set Thats foundation It looks like actual core set and has nice low powerlevel with like staples that every colour should have
>>720912383No, he was just black one time for some reason. He's a white guy with dreads.
>I'll crew my Subway Train with Aragorn and attack you for 3
>>720908868>capeshit crossoverNot really a crossover in the sense that they exist in the MTG universe. More like a collaboration. A set themed after that doesn't exist in the mtg multiverse.
>>720908335Shit takes from /v, of course
>>720912186Did Jotc revealed how many ub sets will be next year?
>>720912869>he doesn't knowLook up their plans for a kpop UB for next year
>>720912869Seems like 3 UB, 4 normal. Secrets of Strixhaven, Lorwyn Eclipsed, two more, then three UB
Imagine the seething rosewater is going through when his scrimblo ub set isn't on arena and most of people actually prefer the in-universe cards
>>720912997There are no plans, the CEO was just saying nothing is off the table to attract new audiences. It takes 3 years to make a set and UB has licensing to add to that. If they make a K-Pop set it'll be a while until it actually lands.
>>720912553Ayo, dis train better be 1st class
Of all the crimes wotc are guilty of, they get a pass for making Ashnod a cutie bowlcut redhead
>next secret lair is fucking play dohHahahahHHahahahHHh
>>720913157Mishra gave up THIS to become a Phyrexian golem.
>>720913224Hey, it's for the sick children, give it a break
>>720912869MagicCon Atlanta will have showcase for 2026 roadmap, that will be running around September 26th to 28th.
>>720912553>I crew my subway train with Aragorn and equip the train with spongebob's spatulaGrim.
>>720912186Avatar will outsell Spiderman
>>720913543>Tomb Of Yawgmoth turns all your artifacts into swampsshweet
>>720913246Mishra was gay for his brother so that was expected he would deny a cutie sociopath like Ashnod
MARO, WHEN WILL BE HIS TURN?
my favourite card is the one where they sneakily shoehorned in a black hand, really powerful stuff
>>720913246Don't worry, Tawnos was there to pick up the slack. I wonder how many children they had.
>>720913892If Lorwyn Eclipsed doesn't have a card for each of the Lorywn Five I'll eat my hat. literally the easiest opportunity for a callback in the planet
>>720913992>I wonder how many children she had turned into transmorgrantsFix'd
>>720914294Children make for terrible transmogrants. The muscles are weak and they're small and fragile so there's less space for modification. Waste of a transmogrant helmet, she probably just did a handful to test.
>>720913543A 2/2 TOKEN PER TURN?!OH MY EMRAKUL, THAT'S GOING STRAIGHT INTO MY ELDRAZI DECK
>>720914716I think there's some real fuckery you can do with turning artifacts into lands (it makes them immune to all "nonland permanent" removal for one) but yeah it's not a monstrously powerful card.I guess you can Blood Moon yourself to make all your artifacts tap for mana? But Urza and Mm'menon both do that better.
>>720912231
Ave, true to Caesar.
>>720910352He already got it
SCHMEAR BROS, HOW WILL WE COPEWE MUST NOSH BUT WOTC WERE TOO COWARDLY TO FIGHT FOR US
>>720909970jews
>>720908868It’s a funny story. So they’re doing a bunch of Marvel crossovers, starting with a Spider-Man set. Problem is, Marvel Snap exists. Disney has no problem allowing Spidey in paper Magic, but if he shows up in Arena they’ll be competing against themselves. So Wizards had to make an entire set of mechanically identical OCDONOTSTEALs for Arena.
>>720914895The real issue is "nontoken". Not being able to use Clues or Food sucks and doesn't let you truly shit out artifacts
It is funny how bloomburrow has been over-represented in the few plane unspecific sets since it's releaseThey are probably dying to do a second set there, can't believe Mark was retarded enough to fall for the "nobody wants an animals set because people can't relate to animals" bullshit, oh wait I can
>>720915408If I had to guess it was just them fearing another Lorwyn.
Say something nice about them
>>720915753They were the most iconic designs MTG itself ever hadAnd then they all got unceremoniously killed off in the span of 5 minutes before the crossover train started
>>720915570What is wrong with Lorwyn?
>>720915753They were really cool characters and didn't deserve to be done so dirty. Elesh most of all.Sheoldred's design is eh though. Too human.
I can’t take MTG card text seriously when every card nowadays reads like it’s an ESL pajeet saaar when kumar patel the redeemer enters give +1/+1 and all Brahmin creatures The NeedfulThe Needful - Permanents with The Needful are not targetable by the enters effects of the Dalit creatures
>>720915869It was a financial failure and players said they didn't like the fairyland art direction.
>>720914063Looking forward to Ajani being the raw green representation somehow.
>>720916089tbf it was at the middle of the recession so no one was buying anything plus fantasy stuff got a giant pushback in favor of harsh realism during that time. Still, quite a shame it died like that.
>>720915869Summary:>Young male players reportedly did not like the sunny magical creatures that bake pies and sweep floors in Lorwyn (which is why they made Eldraine, which had more conventional fantasy flavor)>Lorwyn cards had many abilities which led to complicated board states where the player was not sure what to do, this turned off many players>Morningtide made things worse by adding another layer of tribal over Lorwyn tribal. >Shadowmoor focused very heavily on hybrid cards, which made it difficult for players to determine what colors they were drafting in limited>Eventide mechanics didn't work with Shadowmoor mechanics
>>720913157The plunger on that needle wouldn't work...
>>720916381She knows
>>720916381Lmao
>>720915869Basically Amerilards boy are fucking insecure losers and need big tuff scowling men to feel macho because their entire lives is dictated by their mothers.
Is there any hope for a new vidya cardgame? Obviously can't expect anything from the big jews, but I do not care for that, I just want a little contained puzzle-adventure. Really liked Inscryption's act 2 the most (mechanics-wise), but there are too many caveats around the game as a whole. Some RPG where you collect the cards to show who's the wizard with the biggest deck in the realm.Singleplayer-focused cardgame simulator sounds like a pipe dream, but staple an endless mode on top, and suddenly you got a unique selling point for all rogueli*e deckbuilder fags.
>>720911972this garbage is depressing
>>720912205>different identities for color pairs>color-aligned tribal gimmick>gifts are a decent additional costputting rats and mice both was the biggest fumble flavor-wise
>>720909970everything
>>720915095>the equivalent of 5 slices of white bread covered in oil and fat>call it breakfastDo Nu-Yawkers really?
>>720915081Wait, Garruk was cursed again already?
>>720918560The Bloomburrow fursona cards aren't canon
>>720913543No shit, Avatar fits thematically with MtG’s varieties of fantasy. Spider-Man is the most retarded choice since Doctor Who.
>>720912186>I fucking hope Spiderman flopping teaches them a lesson but I know it won't.WotC will try it's hardest to make another big success as Final Fantasy.
>>720908081The spiderman set looks like pure shit. I don't even hate universe beyond that much, but man this set looks like ASS.The avatar set looks...ok? At least it looks like they put some though in it. Not that I care about avatar anyaway. I hope lorwyn turns out at least decent
Paper magic players are the most confusing demographic to me of any gaming medium. I bought dune imperium, the digital version on sale for 6 bucks, and the game comes with all the cards and has endless amounts of replayablity. I feel like this is a fair trade, and more importantly I want to play the fucking game; with a balanced competitive experience between me and my opponents. Mtg players feel a compulsion to shill for each set, when there's dozens of free online and offline singleplayer/multiplayer iterations of the game, not even considering the fact that you can print 1000 proxies online for a few bucks.Why do mtg players love bending over backwards so much and just opening their wallets for a game that Is so below average compared to other tabletop games? Compare the money they have spent on the last 4 sets to the 5 dollars I spent on gloomhaven digital, not only is it a better game with more depth, I've gotten like 250 hours out of it without mods which are free.
>>720919559avatar suffers immensely from too many cards for the same characterthere's no Korra stuff being used or supplementary material and as a result we ended up with 5 fucking Katara cards
>>720919884There's only 3, though, and one of them is from Jumpstart which is a separate set. They made a start of series Katara and an end of series one, that's all. It's functionally what they did in EoE
>>720919884That's lame I agree with you,but I'm waiting to see other spoilers for the cards. Maybe it will be worth grabbing a box, but I'm not too enthusiastic.
>>720920391>Katara, Bending Prodigy>Katara, Heroic Healer>Katara, The Fearless>Katara, Waterbending Master >Katara, Water Tribe's HopeIt's 5 fucking cards anon
>>720919576MTG players are the same as Nintendo playersThe main demographic (not all players) is paypigs who work at walmart all day to pay for each set. It's sad, but there's nothing you can do to talk them out of it.
EMARKUL THE ANUS TORN IS AVIALABLE ON ARENA THIS IS NOT A DRILL BUILD SHOW AND TELL DICK NOW
>>720919576The game only exists for EDH now, and EDH players are their own breed of whalesCompetitive players dipped during the pandemic cuz wotc refuses to bring back big events
>>720919194We can only hope that retarded suits see the wrong message from this and vastly overproduce shit that no one wants, leading to a nice whiplash back into what actually made Magic successful and resonant in the first place.Who am I kidding, they'll just make the cards OP and market it to Commander whales and sell millions.
>>720921036Yugioh players do that too. I played it in paper for about a month, and would meet college kids working part time at McDonald’s that were playing BASED or homeless looking guys with Prank Kids
>>720921036Thats how it was at my tcg shop lol>between the hours of 3-5 pm>young unhygienic sloppy looking dudes would come in with their Walmart walgrens, or best buy work uniforms on>had a huge collection of cards and would always be buying shit>felt a sense of superiority for bullying the 13 year old kids with their high power level decks Lol it's elementary school dynamics for adults.
>>720908335He is cool, but he's no MtG material.
>>720922016Magic used to have really good prize support that people could use to justify spending that level of money on their hobby. I won a play set of Snapcaster Mages and 2 boxes of Shadows Over Innistrad just from a modern local
>>720919576that's why I stoppedit's like $200 to unlock each set in MTGA. grinding is annoying. and the grind ruins the multiplayer because people only care about grinding their shitty red deck as fast as possible
Not a player but why Spiderman of all Marvel things when Xmen or others could fit the game much better?
>>720908081kino>>720908115cringe capeshit trash
>>720923491Because Marvel is trying to push Spoderman after Miles fatigue has ravaged their sales
>>720923491It was intended to be a small release and not standard legal, so it would've been tighter and more elegant had the initial plans stuck. But then plans changed and it had to get stuffed full of commons and become hideous.
>>720923779>Miles fatigue Your non comic book reader has seen Miles exactly 3 times. And Spider man comics have much bigger problems than Miles going on.
>>720923924Is Paul STILL a thing?
>>720923491>why [the most popular fictional character behind Jesus and Hitler] of all [declining brand] thingstake a guess anon>others could fit the game much betternigga what
>>720923997They broke Paul off like a month ago but the damage has been done.
>>720911343>>720911470>>720912015>change the name of the card>no info about the other namenetdecking timmies will be so fucked
>>720923491same reason why the Bethesda franchise was Fallout instead of TESWotC don't give a crap
>>720923924Nobody reads your cringe fucking toilet paper. Comics are dead and forgotten and trying to cling to relevance. Spiderman is 100% a movie and videogame mindshare, keep thinking anybody even knows how to spell comicbook.
>>720924010NTA but I feel X-Men or Avengers has more breadth and thus more material for draft chaff and a wider setting that isn't confined to real life New York, so they wouldn't have to make cards like "pigeon" or "subway train" and "hot dog stand".
>>720924154Also, because the X-Men are an ensemble cast and not necessarily focused on one dude, they wouldn't have to personally paste Spiderman into 10 separate dogshit commons just because people weren't drafting Spiderman enough. Magic just isn't equipped for a "protagonist" as Jace demonstrated before
>>720923924>And Spider man comics have much bigger problems than Miles going on.Yeah, like Miles, Miles, and Miles
>>720924154i am reasonably sure capes are defined by the modern setting, which is in direct opposition to fantasyno comments on the retardation of "bagel: artifact - food", i am one of those butthurt about 3rd party sets entirely
Compare UB vs UB WotC has lost it
>>720923491No Way Home and the Spider-Verse movies made a bajillion dollarsSlop guzzling retards love anything to do with multiverse, and Spider-Man has been extra shameless about that since 2013
>>720923997Not anymore, but I don’t expect that to ever be smoothed over
>>720910352>The only good set is the one that doesn't have people of color or faggotsWhat did Wizards of the Coast mean by this?
>>720911679>How bad is mtga grind?Pretty damn bad. If you are very good at draft it can pay for itself but obviously plenty of sharks will also be trying for this. The most efficient thing to do is play drafts that turn gold into gems, then save up gems for the battle pass, which gives many packs and also enough gems that repeating the process on the next battle pass is a little quicker.
>>720924407The problem I feel isn't necessarily the modern setting. Neon Kamigawa, Edge of Eternities Duskmourn and Streets of New Capenna worked with a modern/sci-fi setting. The problem is having a distinct world to explore.Magic is really good at presenting you with a world. If I open a Lost Caverns of Ixalan pack I just immediately know the base of the setting without needing to read a lore article or book- I know that there's caves and catacombs, that vampires, aztecs and pirates are fighting over them while exploring them, and that a bunch of fungi and lions live there and are fighting the invaders, because the commons and uncommons detail these scenarios.But there's not really a distinct and unique setting with these Marvel sets because the setting is the modern world woth a bunch of weirdos all orbiting around Spiderman, so there's no real space for worldbuilding. Every character is making a quip or referencing a quote from their original material. Everything is a huge branding exercise.
>>720924459>hero/villain subtypesa legal obligation, or should we expect to retuen to the ROARING TWENTIES set but with silly golden age superheros?P.S. why the fuck do they insist on templating like "ABILITY X, also all other creatures ABILITY X", it's not even an etb
>>720915753As much as I was getting phyrexian fatigue, Elesh Norn had a very memorable designjin was pretty cool too
>>720911679MTG is dead, they've fully committed to only printing for EDHfags and thus every constructed format is being constantly blown up every set release by some pushed card that is meant for commander and 3 other people to counter/answer after 4 turns of politicing.They've completely abandoned all support for constructed play, thus cards have 0 value and should be printed from your HP/Brother until total Commanderfag death and a full restoration of the prize structure.
>>720915991this is some next level obsession, are the pajeet posters glowies that want to test how much they can push an idea?
>>720925412please leave NA and go back to Bangladesh
>>720925165It’s been too long and the competitive players have moved on. I played this game competitively for 10 years, but I sold out in 2022. Now my expensive hobby is designer clothes and fashion WotC could bring GP’s back tomorrow and I wouldn’t care to get back in
>>720925165>they've fully committed to only printing for EDHfagsbased, EDHbros we eating good
>>720915753They literally carried MTG after how badly WotC threw Bolas under the bus to have their own dollar tree version of Avengers Endgame to coincide with the fucking capeshit movie release.I am still fucking mad about this.By the time the Praetors and Phyrexia were done dirty I felt nothing.Elsh Norn would had never had fisticuffs with a fucking planeswalker, the fact they follow this with genderwalkers and even gayer Jacestice League just cements how they do not give a fuck about the lore anymore.Remember when the Weatherlight crew and Urza had to throw everything at Yagmoth including the kitchen sink and the fucking moon and that barely got him dizzy? Then Gerrard had to ram the Weatherlight and the Legacy weapon up Yagmoth's ass to finally put the bozo down? Wasn't that awesome? That was MTG.Now it is spider-man and gay men in hot tubs.Sucks.
>>720925528>troons parasitize a niche community until its totally collapsed and move on to begin the cycle anewYGH is lucky there's no other formats to incubate the these undesirables
>>720925685Too bad for them yugioh itself does.
>>720925775No faggots in YGH for them to latch onto.
>>720925685Yugioh is absolutely miserable to play
>>720913002I'm fairly sure it's 3 in universe and 3 UB. That's already a set every two months. No way they will include a seventh one, at least not standard (Remaster sets or shit like Modern Horizons don't count).
>>720925685un but maybe it died because EDH is better? sorry for your hobby btw :p
>>720919194Spider-Man is not going to be that success. FF had a billion non players buying boosters to get their husbando or waifu cards. No one, and i mean fucking no one, wants the card for Spider-Man UK or Spider-Man India.
>>720926054you wear a dress and have a beard
>>720925834Do you think that matters? One of the best players in EU was a troon playing a pretty girl dress deck for years and was so good they had to target ban the deck nobody else was playing.
>>720915889>Sheoldred's design is eh though. Too human.Sheoldred has a worm body, Elesh has a human body.
>>720924930feel free to blame tolkien, but the flavor of fantasy, and the fantasy game called MAGIC, just doesn't work when transplanted to cyberpunk or space or speakeasycertain presentation is necessary, it's what makes mirrodin "the artifact plane" and not "the robot plane"it's a broader problem with hat sets that borrow too much """inspiration""" and just become shitty expy settings, which means that it's not really magic that presents the world, but player's own foreknowledge of norse myths or horror flicks or whatnot (ixalan is a more positive outlier with its mishmash of aztecs and vampires)
>>720923817people shat on AC but not only it fit better and had genius thoughts on the card effect to adapt the games, but it also wasn't standard
>>720924372>Asgard zoo
>>720926350Spiderslop being a complete joke would've been ignorable if it wasn't forced into Standard or any other constructed format.
>>720924372funny that the jew who wrote this managed to piss of both left and right with this
>>720925595>Bolaskek
>>720926502Rumor goes that Spoderman wasn't meant to be standard, but a set like AC or even just commander precons dumped in between actual sets. You can see that in some cards that mention more than one opponent.But Marvel and Hasbro business partnership had a different idea of how their poster boy should be treated.
>>720925528Do commanderfags actually like official rulings like with partner or planeswalker commanders? Wasn't the big ban and subsequent takeover by WOTC a massive fiasco?
>>720926693>You can see that in some cards that mention more than one opponent.Pretty much all cards are templated like this nowadays regardless of intent to be EDHslop or regular MTG
>>720926784Think people have rule zeroed planewalkers to be able to be commanders since day 1.
>>720908115miles is so cool
>miles is so cool
>>720927427Yeah, and so I'd expect any and all attempt to mosey in to be met with suspicion. Multiplayer-friendly cards is one thing, but multiplayer-only mechanics is another. Wacky shit like cards that affect the drafting process.
>>720911470I hate modern cards wording. "enters" what? Does it activate if I stick this card in my ass?
>>720924459Seriously, Spider-Man coming hot off the Final Fantasy set makes it look like the most complete ass.
>>720911972It would make more sense for Phyrexia's army to eat the meat abomination in a bun than happy squirrel's nutty nuts
>>720908712It never was. Just because there's more movies now doesn't mean it wasn't everywhere. Marvel especially has been one of the biggest franchises in the world since forever.
>>720909970Soulless artwork.
>>720913543That's really all they could do with toph? Nothing with colors?
>>720925595>Remember when the Weatherlight crew and Urza had to throw everything at Yagmoth including the kitchen sink and the fucking moon and that barely got him dizzy? Then Gerrard had to ram the Weatherlight and the Legacy weapon up Yagmoth's ass to finally put the bozo down? Wasn't that awesome? That was MTG.It wasn't awesome, no, because I remember that it was all pulled out of their ass and made literally everything beforehand make zero sense. If Urza had the laser beam that killed Yawgmoth all along then literally everything up until now was for fucking nothing and he just looks like a retard. In fact Invasion made Urza look like a nonsensical retard and sucked shit. His plan made no sense and he killed like 4 planeswalkers for no gain whatsoever. Svat loses 70 IQ points and betrays everyone for ????? then dies, and Urza apparently wanted this to happen because uhhhh soul bombs (because he couldn't just use the soul bombs outright because ???). All the "the Weatherlight team has to grow for itself" was for nothing. Hanna died for no reason because Urza had no reason not to help them. Barrin died for no reason. Urza goes and betrays everyone throwing literally everything he ever worked for in the garbage.
>>720928229Yeah see the issue is they stopped writing cards with retards in mind. Cards only 'enter' one place, there's no confusion and getting mad about this change just shows how pathetic your life must be for this to be worth any concern whatsoever.
>food heals you
>>720928669>Urza goes and betrays everyone throwing literally everything he ever worked for in the garbage.That IS in line with Urza's overall behavior.The man was a legendary fuckup to the last.The only reason he was ever opposed to Yawgmoth was because of the influence Phyrexia had on Mishra's life and death. If not for it, he would've probably joined Phyrexia as soon as he laid eyes on it.. Like his brother did.
>>720928798>Cards only 'enter' one placedebatable
>>720928229Retard argument. Draw from where?
>>720928890Indisputable. Cards are placed in the graveyard, exile, hands, and libraries. They do not enter them, ever.
>>720928798>baitNo but really, if space is at a premium due to power creep, why not template ETB into a keyword? It's only the single most relevant ability, and WotC are not above ripping off Hearthstone, not after the fucking magical school set.
>>720929015>>720928980online game really built the stupidest retards. you will never win real matches.
>>720929438DRAW FROM WHERE? GUESS I'LL DRAW A CARD FROM MY GRAVEYARD HEEHEE
>SAAR, do not redeem the UB
>>720928327FF definitely fits a lot better with the general aesthetics of MTG
>>720930087it's completely mogged by Through the Omenpaths even
>>720923924I'm not too much of a comics guy but I was fairly butthurt when my Dr Strange, Blade, and Moon Knight event was resolved by Miles impaling a vampire god
>>720930570>It's on the mouse
>>720925412When I be doing the enters sar
I would have No issues with UB but Spiderman was a terrible choiceTerrible for the card type diversity or the universes with not many unique characters
>>720930570it's so superior it's not even funnyright actually looks like something that isn't a generic foodleft is well, it's just a bagel, half the world doesn't even know what they are
>>720928851No, Urza hates Yawgmoth because Yawgmoth has continously fucked with his life and with Dominaria. He was horrified when he first learns Mishra turned himself into a machine- his obsession starts with revenge and it only grows as Phyrexia attacks Dominaria, causes him to lose his friend of literally thousands of years Xantcha, destroys Tolaria, destroys Serra's Realm and so on. This is what makes Urza do the shit he does, this obsession is born of Phyrexia needing to be destroyed but him going way way way too far.Urza's problem isn't merely that he's retarded, is that he hyperfocuses on something and fuck literally everything else. For him that was destroying Phyrexia. Every fuckup he's had was downstream of his unending obsession with annihilating Phyrexia, for which literally everything was justified. Invasion just makes him completely schizophrenic and doing shit for no reason or gain at all, like letting Szat in the team despite knowing he'd betray them to justify him being made into a bomb, when he could have just made him into a bomb and nobody would have ever mourned the psychopath mass murderer. Instead he loses 4 PWs on this shit. Invasion sucked ass and the plot was retarded.
>>720908115is spider man in the arena yet?
>>720931209No, and it wont. That's the entire point of this thread
>>720931123>He was horrified when he first learns Mishra turned himself into a machineBecause it was his brother that died for it, his rival, his blood, his obsession. Had he witnessed Phyrexia for his own eyes, without the mayhem of the Brothers' War coloring their interaction, he would've seen it as a thing of beauty just as Mishra did.Urza loves artifice. Urza loves the Phyrexian ideal of flesh turned metal. The suffering of Xantcha, the destruction of Serra's Realm, these are just casualties in a war, not actually related to Urza's ideals. Urza truly has no ideals beyond artifice. That's why he ultimately gave up to the song of Yawgmoth's sway. He just had to be reminded that his hate should be greater than his love, by Gerrard beheading him.
>>720929994At least they gave India a visible miasma that you can almost smell through the card art
>>720928624>>720928624The colors of Magic don't match with the colors of Avatar (or Final Fantasy for that matter.)Going by personality Toph would be red.
>>720929994Does spider man india make people fly, what’s the flavor here is he flinging Indians around with his webs sounds kind of based
post creepy magic art
>>720921814>hating on prank kidsanon was hit by prank kids plan
So is this more fun than Before 2012 Yugioh?
>>720932314Now I do fucking hate Prank Kids, but I think that anon was just saying it was expensive and being played by people likely on welfare
>>720931470This whole thing must be a real kick in the balls for casual mtg players who want to play with the spider-man cards>Oh I see online that the spider-man set is coming out>Maybe I'll buy some packs on Arena so I can play a few games while sitting on the toilet>Oh the set is never coming to ArenaI'm wholly against Spider-man being in MtG, but this different set for digital shit has to be one of the worst moves WotC has made in a very long time
>>720933118>but this different set for digital shit has to be one of the worst moves WotC has made in a very long timeThey didn't have a choice. Marvel has full rights for digital card games for their IPs with Snap.Do you honestly think wotc would have made alternate art and names for 188 cards if Marvel didn't force them to?
>>720933320They should have tried harder or backed out completely, or at the very least relegated the collab to a Secret Lair/Commander precon or something when Marvel refused to make the cards in digital.Making a standard legal set have 2 different printings based on your platform is fucking retarded and no excuse will nullify that
Control really sucks to play these days...
>>720933564>They should have tried harder or backed out completelyAnon, this is Hasbro we're talking about. They have a huge business agreement with Marvel for toys and all kinds of shit. They couldn't give two shits about what WoTC tells them is a good idea or not.The crossover was going to happen one way or another, and if Marvel says no digital version, then there's no digital version. End of the story.
>>720933320Marvel giving out rights for different forms of media is a tale as old as time, whether it's selling Spiderman film rights to Sony so they had to shit out a bad Spiderman every couple of years, or the X-Men film rights so they tried to replace the X-Men everywhere so they could have synergy once their own films popped offIt wouldn't surprise me if they signed the full digital card game rights away to the Marvel Snap devs and the Marvel suits themselves had no say in the matter
>>720932046
>>720933729Then they should have made physical only commander decks or something. There's way to play around this shit. The Spider man set is such a fucking shitshow it doesn't even have a real limited format
>>720933951See >>720926693. That was probably the original plan, but either Marvel or Hasbro wanted something bigger.
Posting a couple of my favourites art, mechanics or flavor wise (or a combination thereof).
>>720934218>>720934319Thoughts on the color red?
Love more bloomburrow art. I hope they go back there at some point.
>>720934403I like it. Especially for non-red cards.
>>720923997Paul is on hiatus, MJ is venom now.
>>720934525I hate when they try to make MJ a super heroI thought Eddie's kid had Venom?
>>720911470I fucking hate this stupid trend of giving a name to the card's abilities.
>>720924459Here's the digital version>hero
>>720934761MJ is currently acting as Eddie's kids mother figure. It probably won't last long, but they are desperate to keep MJ relevant without Peter, because they are staunchly against a happy, married Peter Parker.
>>720935060He looks very heroic.
>>720934580My wife
>>720935184>>720935060Squirrels are a plague, Tarantusk did nothing wrong
>>720934836It's especially annoying because pseudo keywords are normally cool. It just immediately tells how the card works when you read "landfall" or "delirium" or "constellation". These "flavor words" are just "SEE ITS A REFERENCE" with zero mechanical information conveyed
>>720934580>Gerrard went "no way fag" on her
>>720936134she's got gross cat bits and stuff
My green stompyfu.
>>720936670That seems pretty fun. I might be able to play that in my Cannuck Elves deck (probably not).
As far as card art goes, I love this one. Looks very badass.
>>720933951I think WotC is trying to get people to play at standard locals again and letting Timmy play with his new Spider-Slop cards is what they’re banking on. God knows I’m not coming back after 5 years away from this game
>>720915753Cool creepy designs, specially Elesh since I enjoyed their approach of evil White.
>>720935631Despite appearing identical, they are 2 separate ideas conveyed, strangely, in the same way.Ability words are words or phrases that unify a set of abilities under a banner based on what they do or what triggers them. Landfall isn't mechanically distinct, but tells you "this cares about when a land you control ETBs".Flavor words/phrases are terms that are used to describe the flavor of an ability. They don't imply any mechanical impact, synergy or consistency. They debuted in the D&D set, primarily as labels for the choice based cards as a narrative tool. They were decent enough in that specific context, as labeling the choices can allow for natural flowing shorthand on card usage. It would have been better if flavor words were differently formatted so to avoid confusion.This is the worst implementation of flavor words, on par with labeling the moves on the Street Fighter secret lair cards.
>>720937495Nah, the worst one so far was FF equipment flavor words. They don't even name an unique ability of the card, it's literally just a regular ass Equip cost with a name tacked onto it. It doesn't even convey a reference, it's just a random fucking name shoved there for no reason at all
>>720937129#1 card that needs an in universe reprint
>>720937832>It doesn't even convey a referenceThey are literally all weapons from FFXIV, the weapons displayed on the card.https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/893d3c103b4/
