>This is just Recurring Nightmare
No, Recurring Nightmare's one strength that none of its imitations have is that it's untouchable by non-counterspells. Because bouncing it back to hand is a cost, you can do it right after it hits the battlefield, before anyone can try to Disenchant it.
Chthonian Nightmare's ETB trigger lets the opponents destroy/exile it before you can use it.

>>97864719
I forgot to add that, of course, Nightmare's primary strength is that it's doable with 3 mana, so it's turn 3 reanimation, and with Dark Ritual, turn 1 or 2.
This new artifact can't do it. It's turn 3 play only if you got Llanowar Elves turn 1, Cauldron of Essence turn 2, turn 3 activate. Which gives the opponent a full turn to disrupt the plan.

While Recurring simply plops and does its job before anyone can do anything about it.

Are you ready for some heroes after Strixhaven anons?

>>97865201
If they give me a Darkhawk card I'll be moderately happy. I expect nothing that good though. There's a lot of potentially good things that could come of it if you're into Marvel but I expect it'll just be "characters what was in the movies" mostly. We'll probably see a Danny Rand, which is something, though it seems like they're gonna give him a duo card with Luke because there was a Heroes for Hire art shown.

>>97865183
I can't relate to Dack because he didn't simp for the hot Grixis lady.

>>97864698
>TQ
Urza. He is the only one who has actually felt like a planeswalker.

>>97865226
This. Depowering planeswalkers was the worst thing they did narratively. I understand they wanted to make a shit-ton of them and that's why, but it also made them 1000% less interesting.

>>97865226
He is also lucky enough to be the star of the only good mtg book.

>>97864698
>TQ
Dunno about favorite, there are several I like for their character design or because they did something cool at some point. Since nobody's said Sorin I guess I'll say Sorin. Although my reason for liking him isn't really that he's cool but rather that he's such a colossal bum who gets no respect from anyone. So it's less to do with his actual character and more how it's been utilized. He's fun that way.

>>97865191

also the stories published at mtg.com are really good, i loved the duskmourne arc for example

>>97865347
>i loved the duskmourne arc for example
Good for you. I think it was fine, but I would have liked if more of the story had been told from the point of view of some of the plane's indigenous denizens instead. It's not so much a gripe with Duskmourn's story specifically, but it exemplifies it. I don't mind the more serialized storytelling and interconnected multiverse setting in principle, but it'd be nice if it was even possible anymore to get something more self-contained like the original Kamigawa, Guildpact or Lorwyn-Shadowmoor storylines.

>>97865347

Final SOS story, the Witherbloom side-story. https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/secrets-of-strixhaven-down-to-the-lake-alone
>Dina's leading some Witherbloom students who've found a weird dying bird, which she thinks looks kind of like somebody in a costume and the students seem too forcibly excited over
>A vampire in the group, Morphia, bites the dying thing to sample its blood and apparently also its thoughts, and Lorenin, whoever that is, asks her what it was doing, and Morphia basically says it's a gliding bird, it glided for a long ass time, and they get to work on figuring out this thing's deal
>A third student, Basil, an elf, is clearly far more queasy about seeing such a thing die, and Dina moves to comfort him over it
>She looks at Morphia and Lorenin and tries to figure out what the pair's deal is, comparing it to whatever she and Killian have going on and hoping they don't look as insufferable together as this pair does
>Basil urges them to hurry up, they have to get to the lake by nightfall
>We get some more exposition of what's going on, Basil's partner Mertyn died some time ago and it sent him into a bit of a depressive spiral which Dina tried to help him out with, and he seemed to be refusing to even commit to joining Witherbloom and such
>Lorenin says they'll see Mertyn soon enough, Basil says they're never going to see Mertyn, just 'something else'
>Morphia goes "we'll see him, learn what he has to say, then move on"
>Dina offers more comfort, how it's odd seeing somebody after they've died, which is a common thing for mages after all
>That doesn't quite work out and Basil gets quiet and just carries on down the path, leading the rest to awkwardly pack up and catch up while Dina curses herself for fucking that up
>A little later, they've got a shelter going and Dina's instructing the group to, when they see Mertyn's revenant, don't follow it alone

Imma be frank I'm looking at mystical archive and it's physically painful how kino the Japanese prints are

>>97865524
>There's some talk and banter after while Dina makes sure the shelter's all good, it's an old abandoned mobile lab
>And then there's a knock at the door, which feels like it's a common beat in these stories of idle conversation being interrupted by
>Lorenin goes to open it up while the others stay put, and hey it's Mertyn's ghost
>Mertyn's dressed the same as he was when he died in, apparently, a potions lab accident and he greets Lorenin like the old friend he is
>Lore immediately refutes going to the lake with him, but Mertyn tries to insist, talking about all the cool shit it has
>Lorenin eventually just shuts the door on him
>It's likely Mertyn will try again the next two nights, with Morphia and then Basil, so Lore just wants it over with and gets to bed
>Next day, they're off gathering ingredients and shit to pass the time, they find that bird again only to find it's decayed rapidly, which they discuss for a bit
>Back at the shelter for dinner and the knock comes again
>Mertyn talks to Morphia, and apparently won't even try to convince her to go to the lake this time, rather the revenant tries to convince her he really is the same Mertyn, telling her what she knows about him
>And Morphia isn't buying it, because it's more what it thinks she wants to hear rather than things he'd say
>Then he abruptly hugs her, whispers something in her ear, then she slams the door in his face
>Basil asks what he said, Morphia at first says nothing, but then says it was a plea to go to the lake to see a cool tree spirit that is constantly bleeding, but that was sort of a bad attempt to get her to come
>Morphia then says it feels like the revenant was missing something he had in life, and is clearly shaken nonetheless so Dina offers to make tea
>Next morning, Basil is gone, reading a book by the lake, and Dina joins him

WHAT ARE STRIXHAVEN'S SECRETS?!

>have to wait another two months until a spoiler season I care about
Life is suffering. At least we're 2/3rds done with all shitty UW sets for the year.

>>97865569
>Basil asks why she's here, if she wants to teach them something or if she's just wanting to capture this spirit
>Dina says it can be both, Basil asks why she wants to capture it
>She says to know, and also to protect people, because this thing HAS killed people before
>Basil asks if Dina thinks his group is weak for being so broken up by losing Mertyn when Dina and her cohort lost so much more in the Invasion
>Dina says no, then tries to explain that grief eats you up regardless, he asks when it ends, she says it doesn't, it only declines
>He doesn't want it to decline, she says there's no real choice, then they go to get breakfast
>And at night, the third knocking comes
>Mertyn looks ready to go on a date this time, and wordlessly extends a hand to Basil who himself takes it wordlessly and oop there they go
>Dina and the others immediately rush out after, getting to the lake and finding the two, heads in each other's arms while a shape arises from beneath the lake's waters
>Dina urges the two to save Basil, because apparently Willowdusk told her that she should take a step back during things like this, only stepping in if they needed it
>Aaand the Devotion, which the thing is called, has immediately frozen Morphia up to her ankles, burning Lorenin with vapor and Basil's stumbling onto the shore while Mertyn has, of course, vanished
>Morphia does something with a talisman to melt the ice, the Devotion sends huge waves against her
>Lorenin's kind of just tanking the waves and keeps trying to push forward, Morphia gets to his side, pulls something out of his robe, and they do something together with what's apparently some volcanic rock
>But then the Devotion just sort of picks them up and separates them, and Dina is about to intervene when Basil sends out a burst of raw magic at the thing
>The Devotion falters and seems to be defeated or dead and falls back to the lake after that

>>97865596
The secret is that this set fucking blows ass.

>>97865516
But Urza was that with no holds barred. Jace is maybe 10% like that and 90% bland as fuck.

>>97865603
>The sample they got is the skull it had, the only physical part amidst an otherwise elemental body
>Dina's back making tea while the gang all gets dried up and basically says she wasn't trying to teach them, she was trying to get them to learn
>She's about to start a lecture to Basil who cuts her off, saying he's heard enough lectures about death being part of life by now
>So instead Dina tells him a story, about the Brittleblight, the plague that destroyed her home, the thing she cured
>She wasn't able to cure it because she's a genius, she did it because she devoted herself to doing it, and basically says for all that, she's still standing, and learning to live life with all that is part of what Witherbloom is all about
>The maybe-couple of Lorenin and Morphia show some minor affection while Basil just sort of awkwardly drinks his tea, then asks what the Devotion had to teach them, and Dina says she doesn't know, but it seemed to be grieving too
>Next morning, Dina finds the three out at the lake, Basil holding the Devotion's skull and about to return it to the lake, and Dina remembers Willowdusk teaching her about that she might lose students through no fault of her own, that they've learned all she can teach
>And Basil says he just doesn't want to be a mage anymore, and he puts the skull back, looks at the three of them, gives a nod and walks away

Befriend the dead fat men of Shandalar.

A few threads ago, I, Monkman, was mocked for hoping there were monks in nuLorwyn. I want to take this opportunity to say fuck you to those people. Here are two bits of official Lorwyn lore on monks. I even used the example of treefolk monks. Fuck you people.

>Adair River Span. Eschewing weapons, Adair River Span is a mighty oak monk who wanders the forests seeking out opportunities for proving his prowess in combat. Stories are told of how he once fought two giants at once, reducing both to tears, one with his fists, the other with his insults. It's said that on a bet he once dipped his roots into the Honeystone River and drank it dry. Adair is a good friend of Flann and is currently seeking her. He doesn't know that Fionnsutha has take over the mantle of The Wanderer.

>The Ember Fell Monastery
Using the borrowed power, she flew to the place of her birth, the Mount Tanufel. Here she was attacked by the flamekin monks of Ember Fell monastery, who asked her to enter the order and make her ascension in the Path of Flame properly. Ashling refused, and the monks animated a huge stone titan to fight with her. With the unexpected help from Colfenor's sapling and the groundling fae under the leadership of Endry, the giant was bound to the ground. Later, she freed the giant again to attack the monastery itself. The leader of Ember Fell let the giant crush the walls and gates, then obliterated him. He repeated that Ashling must undergo a certain ritual to ascend on her path properly.

And yet evil wizard tiger is fine in the current year.

>>97866940
There was a time when it was definitely one of the most iconic creatures in the game, but unfortunately that time is long gone. For dragons to become iconic in Magic again they would have to be made competitive, but they are one of the designated Timmy/casual player tribes.

I want rakshasa, but I specifically want them as tigers. A tiger warlock feels like it hits close enough that approving of it should however slightly undermine opposition against rakshasa as tigers.

Why he is so bald

>>97867476
The hardest deckbuilding pill to swallow is that you should play netdecks for your format of choice until you have a solid grasp of what a deck needs to be capable of doing to be able to compete, and only then should you start brewing. Always ask yourself how your deck is going to beat the top 6 or so decks in the format.

>>97867752
The alternative was that stupid ponytail style. Full bald looks better and makes it less uncomfortable to wear a wig.

Sup faggots I’ve been off the chans for a few years as x has been remarkably good and I’ve been busy with real life. These captchas are fucking awful.

So, I think I have a problem with hoarding cards. I think I have like tens of thousands in sealed cardboard now and I live in a retardedly high sales tax state and I think I should learn how to start selling I guess.

I preordered a shitton and holy shit I’m realizing I’m completely obsessed. Damn.

So why does Rudy sound so spooked all of a sudden? And how do his patrons rationalize the massive fuck you of “im not even going to offer TMNT collectors because suddenly im bothered by whining on the internet.” And why is every other mtg YouTube channel a complete homosexual degenerate worshipper of mentally ill troons?

Don't overthink his retardation. He's making a joke out of contempt for WoTC's version of baby yoda. Due to their long production times though by the time we got Loot people were already sick of baby Yoda. Shows just how quickly Disney shit out slop that in the time they'd taken to finish the set Disney had already fucked up the only decent star wars show they had. And frankly Mandalorian was just a generic western but because it wasn't woke DEI filled slop it was amazing in comparison. They have of course remedied that and emasculated any trace of masculinity out of the show. Fuck Disney, fuck WoTC, fuck the woke mind virus, FUCK THIS WHOLE FUCKING CLOWN WORLD SHIT!!!!!

Maybe the reason why Innistrad sucks is because its humans need to git gud. Imagine being so lucky that 90% of your problems are vampire-related and can be solved with a sharp stick.

So Reality Fracture seems to be building up to be some big reset button for the lore, what do you think they'll be doing?

>>97869862
It will just be a temporary event where color shifted cards are allowed
Jace will be big bad for a while before being offed by the power of friendship and LGBTQ+. In his death somehow the Eldrazi will return

Survivors piss me off so much. Duskmourn tech pisses me off. I don't know what was in the concept art or the briefs given to the artists, but the creative team needs to sit their asses down and figure out how they arrived at these results and why they thought it was a good idea.

>>97869719
Strixhaven's student body is full of racists and Liliana, Kasmina and Angrath were desparked.

>>97869862
Basically it will be Time Spiral, only shit because there is no way that current WotC understands even a fraction of why Time Spiral was good and they are incapable of actually being sincere these days.

It's called acting.

As they copy everything Marvel does, they will have RF, show 1 to 2 planes under RF, and then close it out next year with Jace giving reality power to some womyn that set things straight.

Like >>97870007 said, they don't know how to be sincere anymore - everything has to be tropes, memes and be "resonant". They couldn't be further from the truth. If they actually 100% leaned into a concept instead of these surface level passes they might actually get somewhere.

Chandra is back to having some curvature in her "fight with Ajani" SOS card, so perhaps Loot is dead.

>>97870194
>What is even the plot of this set other than "hey guys jace is up to something!"?
Discounting some of the emotional beats hit by Chandra and Ajani, yeah, that's basically the sum of what the plot is about. The episodes read a lot like setup for Reality Fracture. The crisis involving the archaics doesn't so much tell the reader where the story is going to go as it informs the reader about the stakes at play and what will be motivating the characters in the next arc. SOS is by no means a self-contained storyline.

I don't trust them on that. I remember back when War of the Spark was announced and they also said it was gonna be a major shake up in the lore with many character deaths and in the end we had maybe some 3 secondary characters dead and that was it.

>>97870367
They're not hyping up a Big Change with Reality Fracture at least. Just that it is a finale, and there's something cool with the set they didn't think they could physically do (whole set is double-sided, or every pack is 'mirrored' or something).
