How Black nerds are turning a fantasy card game into real community>Magic: The Gathering offers players an escape from reality, where they cast spells and summon creatures rather than worrying about their 9-to-5s. But entering the fantasy world often comes at a cost. >But proxies, or unofficial stand-in cards to represent cards not in a player's collection, and the 2019 launch of MTG Arena, a free-to-play online version of the game, have opened the door to more players. >Despite the growing player base, the game has long been perceived as a White, male-dominated, and hyper-competitive hobby. Like other online gaming spaces, it contains pockets of bigotry>“If you’re pretending to be a wizard, skin color shouldn’t matter”https://archive.is/vHb9w

>>729674842>Tiny portion of 10% of the population will replace the tiny portion of most of the population.How can niggers play Magic when they can't even do basic math?
Wrong board retard mtg is dead enjoy your gandalf fighting aang or whatever loreless bullshit it's become
>>729674842Hang all fucking commander players and UB buyers >b-but woke -DONT GIVE A FUCK I WOULD GARGLE BLACK TRANGENDER COCKS IF IT MEANS EVERY COMMANDER PLAYER AND UB BUYER HANGS
>>729675009Lets not pretend anyone ever gave a shit about magic lore beyond the art and flavor text on the cards.
>>729675009>mtg is deaddoesn't it do more money than every other TCG?
>>729674842>MTG Arena, a free-to-play online version of the game>Free to playmtg arena is the only game i know of that literally charges you to play repeatedly
>>729675119I read the books.>>729675149Wizards actively prints busted as shit cards in sets full of complete dogshit to push the nft economy that is mtg. Shit will crash within 10 years.
MtG has been trash for 10+ years now, anyone who still gives money to Hasbro is a part of the problem.
The most Jewish game in existence.
>>729675252>Shit will crash within 10 years.Fuck you made me laugh irl and spit my pepsi.
>>729675009UBslop has been absurdly good profit driver for WotC and probabbly the only reason they are not on Hasbro's chopping block. That being said, yeah, I don't see it lasting forever since its main audience are consumerist nerds who mostly just buy cards as collector's items, not to actually play with them. That demographic got Funko fatigue, they will eventually get UB fatigue too.
I should probably sell my collection and move on to proxies, I'm not interested in this anymore.
>>729674842>turns out everything ever is about moneyhuh you don't say
>>729675820Play Cockatrice anon
I have never met a single black guy who plays magic. also, no muslims. actually, no brownskins at all.
>>729674842Interesting how they managed to fit all 5 colors into the card.
>Blacks will save the hobby by using proxies at their LGS>Using Joe Johnson of all people as a "positive" figure in the communityOne of the most Jewish things I've ever fucking seen
>>729676037YGO is the brown person card game.
>>729676425true, whenever I see them at the LGS, it's usually YGO night. but in mtg, the only oddball I ever mat was some 2m slav who only played pauper with self-brewed, off-meta decks
>>729676425blacks play heroes and never top, they're simply pay piggies to keep min rarity decks played by White/Asian men available.
>>729674842Niggas know to stick to yugiohHasbro ain't getting them to switch no matter how hard they pander
>>729675218>mtg arena is the only game i know of that literally charges you to play repeatedlyOnly if you are dogshit retard at game and dont play draft
>>729676425This is also why YGO players are known to steal.
How far will universes beyond go?
>>729676425YGO day was always stinky day at my flgs
>>729674842>Hey you, yes you, a pitch-black nigger from ghetto who consumes chicken wings and grape drink>You must consume The Corporate Product now!>See? We even added some of your fellow oogaboogas to art on The Product>You are absolutely obliged to consume it now you fucking coon!Did this marketing approach ever work?
>>729677343Until they run out of properties willing to work with them, so never
>>729674842Nope. Not buying your pozzed nigger cards.
>>729675030BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED Black Jeet Tranny Draft/Cube Players >>>>> White Aryan Memeander Tards
Never understood the commander hate tbdesu
>>729678242It was great before they stole the format from the community and started milking it for all its worth
>>729677343>4 UBs>Only one that’s even fantasy is run by notorious DEI practitioners who want to revise everyone’s race for brownie points
>>729678242Mtg was slowly dying before EDH, until it realized it can earn tons of money from EDHtards that will eat any slop
>>729674842They will but through making proxies more acceptable
>>729674842just to make you aware I go into black homes a lot for work, the amount of art with full-nigger last-suppers, Santa Clauses, etc is actually impressive.also been seeing a lot more wife-hider muslim niggers too when I go through their housethey have to move the wife around while I hide in a room somewhere like she’s a feral dog lmao
>>729677393Even in the article it says they just proxy. More based than the regular MtG playerbase who shell out thousands for cardboard
>playing with proxies>spend no money at an LGS>more than likely a burdenEvery other race will probably have to pick up the bill on this one too, huh?
>>729677343Those sets outsell everything else they have by a wide margin. They will slaughter one ip after another for it until nothing is left and then start with Walking Dead again.
>>729679156My favorite card from Arabian Nights, The White Man's Burden
>>729678546>Friend plays turn 1 Krenko and fucks our shitholeNigger card, but funny how Krenko is shit nowadays with all the powercreep
>>729676576>who only played pauper with self-brewed, off-meta decksThat's the kind of guy I'd play MTG with.
>>729678546JEWled lotus
>>729678546did they really think this card wouldn't get banned?
I play MTG and Yugioh in real life and I've seen dozens of times more black nerds at Yugioh nightsBlack nerds want cool shit on cards, not black people
>>729680010They print cards like that so they can sell one-ofs later in things like secret lairs then ban the card a month or two later.
>>729678242
>>729680132>food analogy
>>729680132The problem with an analogy like this is that the moment 'slop' shows up is different for many different types of people in regards to MTG
>>729676581I remember Blue-Eyes being the stereotypical black deck, because it's unga bunga big numbers.
>>729680010lmao if you think they careThey needed to hype first commander dedicated set, and literally printed black lotus in it. Everyone and i mean LITERALLY EVERYONE knew this shit card is imbalanced as fuck and never shoudve existed yet EDHtards acted like its fine because:>iT oNlY hElPs YoU tO cAsT oNe CaRd In YoUr DeCkYeah, dumb fuck, the most important card that your deck is build around and the card you always have access to.Also fuck Eminance and if you play commander with Emincance, fuck you too.
>>729675820I sold every card out of my collection over $10 right before the September 2024 banlist (I had sold a mana crypt, 2 dockside extortionists, and a jeweled lotus) and have been using proxies and have to say, not worrying about the price of cards or good cards becoming worthless because of a future banlist has made my commander player experience much more enjoyable.I had only played in like 3 official tourneys before that point, and my "expensive" cedh deck never did well enough to warrant its price tag or lack of proxies.
>>729680806sorry, my wizard girlboss just let me 1-card combo, try again next time casual troglodyte
>licensed out the ass like fortnite and lego>scalped out the ass like pokemonmtg is dead like garfield intended
>>729681047Niv Mizzet is not a girl
>>729675119I do. >>729675252>I read the books.Based, same. For me it's the Ravnica Cycle.
>>729675119I did, when lore was good (before planeswalkers)
>>729681178Niv Jizzet, Cumdumpster
>>729680010This is the same group of people who didn't think anyone would use Oko on their opponent's creatures. The game is made by people who don't play it and playtested by Arena players. Besides, printing chase rares just to ban them later is good for sales. The game has so much momentum they don't have to care about the state of it.
>>729674842>9-to-5sI work an 8:30 to 6:00 in my third world country and it takes me like 1 hour from home to the office every day. With a shit salary.
