What this says about our game, fellow Magic players?

>>97454282
I honestly don't think Izzet Lessons really works with Learn considering it wants to draw all the lessons and start using them as soon as possible. Putting them in the sideboard and then drawing them with the Learn cards sounds like an extra layer of effort that will if anything slow it down.

>>97454280
Will they make a functional reprint of Mentor's Guidance that just replaces Shaman with Sorceror?

>>97454280
So normal Liliana is desparked so she'll just be a Legendary Creature, right? But it seems like we'll be getting a White Liliana that will probably be a Planeswalker.

Wizards is terrified of premodern because it shows that a format can be successful even if they aren't involved. Unlike EDH, they are unable to inject anything into premodern to ruin it. "But what about the inevitible premodern horizons set!"; if such a thing were to be printed, a format in which it's legal would no longer be premodern. Maro claims that there's not enough demand for a format that excludes UB yet is unable to prove any of the numbers that he talks about.

Legacy is screwed anyway. Every successful non-combo deck, and even then a few combo ones, plays all new creatures with mostly old spells. People then whine about the old spells being too powerful when the issue is the threats they're backing (see Entomb ban), so they ban the old cards and keep printing new broken creatures. Eternal formats were more fun when decks existed by coincidence - Oops all spells is a great example of this - and cards were run because they did something very specific that no other card could do.

The game, and the format, used to take skill. Now you just bash your face on the keyboard and hope Tamiyo or one of your other broken snowballing threats gets you there.

It's because Commander is singleton, anon. This encourages designs that "do everything" in one card. This has been going on for a few years. Pic related ramps, draws cards, stabilizes the board and is a threat that ends the game, all in one card. Fable of the Mirror Breaker ramps, smooths your hand and is a threat, all in one card. Bankbuster, draws cards, ramps and is a threat, all in one card. As you can see these designs can be highly problematic in 1v1 60-card Magic. Not that they seem to care.

Commander is the end of Magic. No other TCG can compete with commander's popularity, and commanderfags have already proven they will accept whatever slop WotC injects into the game. Every decision WotC makes about the game is to appease commander players, and it is ALWAYS to the detriment of non-commander formats. Some busted ass shit that was designed around there being 4+ players? Its now rotated Legacy (again). Unsets being made black-bordered? They need to be so I can run my heckin attractions deck in my pod. 50% of the rares in a Standard set being build-around Legends that suck complete cock outside of commander? Commander. LD/MLD/Mana denial no longer viable strategies? Commander players find them unfun. UB is also because of Commander, when WotC realized they could ride the EDH gravytrain and turn every popular character from any IP into a commander.

MLD as you're asking for was already all but gone by 8ED, several years before the format would be acknowledged as Commander in 2011. Largely because as much as pseudointellectuals will wax poetic about how resource denial is a pillar of the game, very few people actually found it fun in any format (this is also why Mind Twist is never ever getting unbanned). Stone Rain appeared in a large volume of core sets and standard rotations but generally it wasn't easy to overcome someone's manabase entirely. Ironically you could actually argue it has been powercrept with cards like Price of Freedom and Cleansing Wildfire because manabases have been allowed to get so comically greedy in all formats that they quickly become 2-mana Stone Rain that cantrips, making them powercreep even Sinkhole, which never saw type 2/standard printings past ABU because it was considered too good at suppressing lands.

Those episode titles are from the 1980s TMNT cartoon. Those kids probably voted in the 1996 or 2000 presidential elections.

In all seriousness they were probably trying to go for a minor gross out joke using odd food combinations that kids would have tried. Almost every combination is a child food staple (oatmeal, peanut butter, pepperoni, toast) with a traditionally "gross" food (avocado, clams, anchovies, licorice, garlic, sardines, tuna) or is mixing desert toppings with salty/savory food ingredients.

Starting with Mirrodin and ending with Faeries they have completely avoided giving a keyword or tribe so much power that a dominant deck can be attributed to that keyword or tribe. They won't let the retarded community use something like Faeries or Affinity as examples to blame for Wizards' incompetence. It's far less insulting to stupid players if they can view Oko or Vivi as outliers even if in any case it's still Wizards' incompetence.

It's not Earthbend that's a problem it's Badgermole Cub. Nobody's blaming Earthbend as an issue. Spellstutter is simply one step closer to being able to blame Faeries for being a problem and they won't have that. There's only one good Faerie.

Is it literally ever worth opening packs? I'm getting back into paper and grabbed most of the singles I need for a standard deck, but I had a hiccup where the guy at the shop with the most cards in his trade binder would not sell me cards. He said he only trades "because of inflation and the cards hold their value." Without going into why he's a dumbass for thinking that the cheap standard staples I was after are going to appreciate, rather than depreciate when they rotate, it got me thinking about getting a box or two for the purposes of having a trade binder for just such autists at the card shop.

I'm thinking about buying a box of lorwyn and a box of EOE since I need shocks of all colors anyway and they have some other decent cards in there to possibly pull. It seems like I could get decent value from trading for cards I need for decks rather than paying shop/online prices for singles plus tax plus shipping etc. Am I an idiot for thinking like this or?

>>97458898
unless you are getting insane deals from this guy there's no way it's worth it

>>97458898
only as a store and even then you should be streaming your openings for additional streaming revenue and some patron scam.

>>97458898
When I'm in a collecting mood I will open one box to get started, then buy singles to round it out

>>97458848
>Why the fuck do I have to spend $4 USD for this common?
I understand stores demand you use real cards and for good reason as they need the sales to stay open. But you should simply stop playing whatever format demands you use real cards. The stores do all the work and do not deserve to be punished for Wizards' retardation. But punishing the stores with low attendance is the only way Wizards is going to pay attention. And now that Wizards is tracking singles sales you have to fuck the store by not buying cards too.

The fact is Magic is becoming a place that is unaffordable and only played by people willing to pay. Even if you stop playing and the store closes this will ultimately be what happens. There's nobody under the age of 20 playing this game. Everything you see in Magic today only exists because of something 20 year olds built and supported 20 years ago and all that's left is the sad pieces of shit from that cohort who have no problem paying $4 for a Spellstutter.

I legitimately have no cards though (other than the few singles I bought for building my standard deck)
I need lands, tokens, etc. although I guess even then it still sounds kinda stupid to buy a box and not even end up with enough full art lands or appropriate tokens for a deck
I'd also just really like to pull a riddler, but I'm sure that won't happen, and even if it did it would just make more sense to buy them

But certainly they would not make her an obvious member of a country in the real world that in deference they have already retconed and entire plane's name because of cultural appropriation from that country. Surely they wouldn't just walk into another error of cultural appropriation a second time with that country. Surely their priorities of diversifying must pause such as to avoid cultural appropriating again right?

Or more likely, only Heliod will remain dead, and the others will simply have gotten better thanks to their belief of their worshipers, but not Heliod because now everyone would rather worship Elspeth.
