I spent nearly $200 on Final Fantasy UB cards for my set cube last week. If you mean newer UB sets idgaf. Even avatar seemed kind of shitty. It’s just so boring to have multiple of the same characters. Whenever they do that I just tune out. Pick an IP with enough characters or stick to Secret Lairs.

Turtles have very long dicks relative to their body size, which is a necessity to get around the positional inflexibility restricted by their shell. Scaled to human proportion it would be close to 2 feet long.
Miss O'Neil plays a dangerous game wearing skintight jumpsuit around bunch of teenagers packing that sort of arsenal.

The sheer numbers produced by Final Fantasy alone will probably mean they won't correct course until AFTER Foundations rotates out, and that's assuming a majority of the UB sets released before then fail, which they probably won't.

Hey guys, this is my Brawl Commander, Freya Crescent. I've always liked playing Red-Deck-Wins in 60-card formats, I am kind of new to Brawl format, I like this deck because I get to play red-deck staples I used to play in 60-card. Also having a one-drop Commander is really nice. Playing Freya in Brawl is pretty much how I play Magic these days.

I should probably reiterate that I'm taking about UB through 2029. Even if an entire year is filled with flops, that'll probably just push them to change which properties they make sets for rather than consider UB to be a lost cause. Besides, some properties are basically guaranteed to succeed. I'm 80% sure they're gonna do a Zelda set next year to coincide with the movie, you know Nintendo fans will eat that shit up, whether they like the game or not.

Nah I'm so gutted about the state of MTG that I've stopped buying it.
Don't get me wrong, I love playing the game, and I've collected it for just over a decade, but the past few years of content haven't had interesting art or mechanics really. I just make decks with what I've already bought.

MtG, WoTC and Hasbro are too deep im the shitter and repeatedly are doing absolutely retarded shit. Question is when this will collapse, not if.
>B-but FailFantasy!
A single set selling out by attracting scalpers means nothing, especially that everything surrounding it was shit or sabotaged by WoTC.
The hope for MtG is Hasbro purging completely WoTC or someone just buying them out.

I don't want to go rummaging for it, but my friend from my old playgroup made us a Custom Card Commander each that represented us and used our names, printed them out, and gave them to us as a gift. The one he made for me was "Anon the kind-hearted" or something, it was functionally 'Fevered Visions' on a creature. It had a flavour keyword that references that I over-apologize too much "Sorry! - at your end-step, draw a card, opponents take two damage" or something similar. That would be the custom card I am proudest of.

I just had a great idea for a new Universes Beyond set they could make a bajillion dollars off of and attract tons of new people to the hobby. They could do a partnership with Pokemon, and we could have different legendary Pokemon creatures to use in Commander.

I don't think the people on /tg/ are any better at Magic than the mix of players at the store.
But the people on /tg/ are the only group of people online (and let's face it, also the stores) who are always angry at everything in the game. And the only valid opinion to have about everything in the game at this point is to hate it, which unfortunately makes /tg/ exceptional among Magic players.
Something has gone horribly wrong in Magic when the community of people who hate everything are the only people who are right. It's never been so abundantly obvious that the most incompetent people in this game are also the people who like what is happening. Who the fuck is doing this for social media gratification if there isn't any scoreboard? I don't think I've ever felt more ashamed to have spent time doing something than I have felt about Magic. Magic has failed so fucking hard in every category of appeal I actually can't believe it.

>But the people on /tg/ are the only group of people online (and let's face it, also the stores) who are always angry at everything in the game
Wrong. People are angry everywhere but elsewhere you get banned if you speak your mind about it. If you go to Magic store and tell everybody Magic sucks dicks you're gonna get banned from that store. So people keep quiet, and that creates a false impression that everyone isn't angry. But everyone is. You included.
>>
>>97466138
>If you go to Magic store and tell everybody Magic sucks dicks you're gonna get banned from that store. So people keep quiet, and that creates a false impression that everyone isn't angry.
I have decades of good will earned at my store and I loudly and openly hate everything. The store owner agrees but he stays quiet because it's his living and sales have only constantly gone up. I give cover to all the people who would secretly hide the fact they hate everything and I'm still basically the only one who voices negativity about everything. I've stopped saying anything unless prompted. There is no social penalty to hating on the game, not with the things I've said. Anybody who wants their biases confirmed could agree with me but they don't.
Nobody is quiet. I go to events, go to other stores, go play Cube, and shit on Wizards at every opportunity. Everyone is satisfied, they love it. The only people who hate Magic as much as I do have quit. Because quitting is the only sane thing you can do in this game.

It's not about strength, most hybrid cards suck ass, it's about bending the fundamental rules of the format.

It's not about bending the fundamental rules either. It's the fact that having a hard rule that a colored mana symbol defines color identity is just easier for everyone to understand. That's why the Extort exception because it is reminder text is so fucking stupid; same reason why suggesting the hybrid rule change is stupid.
A fundamental rule of EDH that should have changed a long time ago is the 100 card rule. 100 cards is shit. It's hard to shuffle and puts a 66% additional deckbuilding burden versus 60 card decks. Stores have to stock 3+ sizes of deck boxes. The fact they moved from a simple banlist system of "brackets" to this insane system that is impossible to police players' decks is like taking the fundamental simplicity of deckbuilding rules and introducing something completely insane. 2 copies max of gamechangers I mean how the fuck do you know the person doesn't have more.

I dont hate everything in fact i liked even some things from 2024 when people were already shitting on everything like Bloomburrow and Duskmorne for me superb products. But you can by any means look at this year, and lets be serious, the next one and the next one and say "Yeah, this is the Magic i like with Turtles, Superheroes, Aang and Co and fucking Klingons" the dude talking about Pigs and Slop restaurants; even if he was talking about Commander, went viral precisely because i think is not only here, any sane, non faggot-coonsomer person can notice this is not right, not the amount and not the quality and JotC should pay for what they are doing to the brand.

Blah blah blah. Hybrid mana violating color identity was always retarded. If you don't see why, you don't understand anything about Magic whatsoever. Whole point of hybrid mana is that (u/r) is fully U and fully R at the same time not some blend of both.

>>
>>
>>
>>97465431
It is a bad thing for a format that already has so few restrictions and constantly had "best in class" cards printed for it.
I understand some people's thinking of "it's not a big deal" but we are all already playing make believe with expensive cardboard, if someone is unwilling to make the barest minimum of concessions then either they are too stupid to engage with a format honestly or you're someone who fundamentally doesn't want to play EDH and should move to a format where they can play with other people of a like mind.
>>97466278
Hard disagree on less than 100 cards. It originally functionally meant you had to run very non-optimal cards from the whole list to actually have enough cards to put a deck together. Now that there are so many good cards dropping the deck size down would turn everything into just staples and wincons, unless you really think Brawl is a healthy format. I understand the annoyance with it, but I think having friction in the deckbuilding keeps the soul of EDH together.

Removing the platinum angel doesn't cause you to lose the game, state based actions checking for life total after the angel has been removed will cause you to lose the game.
The card also wouldn't stop lethal damage from a lightning bolt, etc. It won't work against activated abilities like Door to Nothingness. I think it works as implied with cards like Atemsis all-seeing. It's an incredibly narrow and unintuitive card that every beginner would misinterpret.

Shocks having land types mean they also turn on verges. Verge+shock will pretty much give you perfect mana for whatever you need unless you're doing some 4+ colour meme. I'd expect surveils or the creature lands to fall off due to being for slow decks which don't exists in nu-standard

kinda looks like those might be pips for spree cost?
probably a big, expensive, cool blue spell that will be completely unplayable into turn 3/4 standard meta
I hope I'm wrong, but even three steps is getting to that point
really cool counterspell but it's just too slow and costly; most control decks these days are now running like 1 copy of what used to be a bread and butter counter
I hope I'm wrong, but it will be like season of weaving, weftwalking, finale of revelation, or any number of other big fun blue spells that are completely unplayable

Strixhaven, Outlaw Junction, Murders at Karlov, Bloomborrow, and Hot Whee-er...Aetherdrift would be a fantastic lineup... for the Jumpstart product. They're teenage fantasy fodder, nothing like the more universally designed early-mid MtG sets or the Eldrazi/Bolas sagas. As full sets, they're a complete style breakdown and clearly signalled the beginning of the end. I'm honestly glad we got UB because if they were going to keep making MtG fan fics instead, the game would be in an even darker place.

Not a big fan of these color swapped cards, they dilute the color pie further, which is the last thing this game needs.
>>97463187
This is fun, if pointless. It serves the function of shit talking in a formal setting, so it might be cool for LGS drafts.
>>97463220
This card leans heavily on flavor so its hard to judge without art. Nothing game-changing but would fit well in a Phyrexian theme deck.
>>97463578
Powerful, in a world before Accumulated Wisdom, probably format-defining outside of EDH, but a good fit for highlander and the deck theme. I like it.

Now THIS is a good joke card. The conspicuous lack of activated abilities is probably the funniest part. Still strangely playable, I could see it being an EDH precon card.
>>97467322
It's cool mechanically and the art gives Word of Command vibes, which is always fun.

Missing text that'd make it playable, but an interesting idea. It should probably be for the rest of the game, and it should also exile itself.

yes, the fragile little babies who write those articles
and the mental illness has been you constantly conflating that with yourself and everyone else with bogeymen that exist in your head, which is not an obsession but an entirely different paranoid, black and white thinking issue symptomatic of the exact kind of personality issue that lands you on this god forsaken website to begin with. i'm not sure how else to explain that to you.
you're also using quotes to indicate a phrase you came up with, which is reinforcement of my point. you are legitimately mentally ill but i don't care if you're obsessed with identity politics.

What was with his changing skin color on a per-card basis anyway. Dude was from the heart of africa in some, mulatto in others, and in Westward Voyager he just looks like he has a slight tan. If you're going to race-swap at least make it look CONSISTENT.
>>
>>97470287
pretty sure it was supposed to be a "he's not a human" cope of some kind but ultimately the entire race swapping thing wasn't even driven by the DEI bogeyman, more like than not it was their compliance officer working overtime to avoid any lawsuits from Embracer Group, so they probably didn't even care about any of it except insofar as "don't make anything that resembles the movie characters in a way that we can't trace back to a precise description from the books"
and before the usual schizo comes in with "he had skin fair as wheat" quote, or some dumb shit, you should understand that when a compliace officer says jump - you don't ask how high, meaning a precise description is "the hex color of his skin was #0000000" and not flowery language with any room for confusion whatsoever.

Niggers don’t play Magic because it used to be western fantasy based on multiple versions of Christian folklore and sword/sorcery which doesn’t mesh with criminal nigger mentality, hence why niggs go crazy for anything Japanese like anime, samurai and waifus. Same thing with beaners and Dragonball. The reason why those other games thrive is there aren’t any kikes with a financial control over Konami and such. Can’t really kike a game without kikes involved.

TNG in particular was one of the last genuinely good 'fantasy' TV shows that wasnt totally captured by politics or narcissistic directors.

What if your opponent doesn't control any creatures? Also barring that I like the effect, it's cool, but I feel 5 mana is a little too much for it. Maybe I'm underestimating it.
