vOv posted:Calling it: the plot is about Sarkhan going back in time to help Ugin win the battle; the third set is Tarkir but with dragons everywhere. Ugin as a colorless planeswalker either in this set or the next. Didn't we already know that?

Chorocojo posted:EDIT2: Huh. That's certainly bridging the gap between the wedge set and and something, but I don't know what the other thing is. Actually, based on the modal spell: Since the first set is all non-dragons, the third set is 100% dragons. It's like poetry. It rhymes.

 Holy poo poo, I'm building that Jeskai Heroic Combo deck. It is the perfect mix of everything I love playing in Magic. Stupid synergies, weenies, and my three favorite colors.

Dr. Stab posted:Huh. That's certainly bridging the gap between the wedge set and and something, but I don't know what the other thing is. Obviously it's bridging to the third set having mana costs entirely in hybrid mana, causing players' brains to fuse as they try to determine exactly what they can cast from their hands at any given moment.

But I don't know, I think there's some bad rear end potential here. The Khans in all honestly don't sound like good people, maybe Ugin's Dragons are the team we need to take down the Eldrazi. Plus it'll be nice to Bolas lose, dude sucks.

Aaron Forsythe just "emergency banned" Treasure Cruise related questions at this panel.Spiderdrake posted:I feel like he's complaining about the simplicity of the plot, actually. It's not really the crux of the plot so much as the general setting. Like all Magic setting details are pretty straight forward because they have to sell it on the basis of a very easy to understand pitch so that people who aren't the hugest nerds know what's going on. "Warlords are fighting each other in a world of dead Dragons, dude goes back in time to save a particular dragon back when the clans were fighting against the dragons, now the dragons are loving everywhere and ???"

A baby pre-release pack with the alternate art gimmick is really neat and I hope things like that take the place of the lame seeded boosters in the future.

Yeah, that's real sad. We've all got a million bad beat stories dude. If you want people to commiserate that's one thing but "I'm gonna quit competitive magic" makes you look like a giant baby. Don't draw extra cards, or at the very least just shake your head and move on when you gently caress it up. Zorak posted:BAD NEWS: seeded backs are still a thing ala Khans, the alternate art things are something on the side? I figured, it's just a cool gimmick, and I hope that's the sort of gimmick they use in the future to pump pre-releases in the future. Instead of the clan/guild choice stuff.

Entropic posted:Ooh, I just noticed Hybrid Mana is back. Looks like they're just using it for effects, not mana costs. So, no new devotion shenanigans. As for the new setting, it looks like we'll be seeing the predecessors of each of the 5 khans each being their clan's primary color with a hybrid effect that runs off the clan's ally color. We were all bitching about color pie violations earlier. It's nice to see green get treason on a stick that is better than red's treason on a stick.

Would you prefer "I'm not going to spend 2 weeks and 150 dollars for something that's ultimately not worth it by any metric"? I don't find it worth doing anymore, plain and simple. It's not worth the hassle of building a deck.

Look dude, I'm not trying to dump on you or anything but there's a huge difference between "man that tournament was not as fun as i hoped and i don't think ill do that anymore" and "i lost and that ruins everything for me" It's pretty sad if losing a game ruined the entire event for you. What did you expect to win your first ever GP or whatever?

In the years I have played competitive Magic, I have accidentally drawn an extra card once, and that's because I wasn't focused and drew the cards I was looking at with Sensei's Top. Stop being sloppy and stop blaming the game for your issues.
