Attorney at Funk posted:A full-art card is just a regular magic art that takes up the whole card. I mean like, an Invocation Cryptic Command would be like four lines of hieroglyphs, one depicting each of the card's four modes, prefaced by another symbol or something that means 'choose any two'. They'd essentially be full-textbox cards but the text would be pictograms

Jace posted:Again, I disagree. A counterspell is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for couples to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the woman than on the man. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a tapped, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal.

You guys realize they're trying to write in the voice of the different characters right? And Chandra's not so good with similes? Obviously it's still terrible but it's not accidental.

Angry Grimace posted:Not really. You know, normally when someone posts in here "people on Reddit are _________" I have to actually go look because 99% of the time it's complete bullshit, especially whenever someone says people on Reddit are making conspiracy theories about LSV's marriage and poo poo. Usually whatever topic it's about doesn't show up at all on the first one or two pages, and it's purely strawmanning about how Reddit users are ~so bad~. But no, this time Reddit is actually full of people talking about how awesome this story article is. It's kind of a mixed reaction between "I can't believe their plan is just charging headfirst into the enemy," "why are they getting beaten by Zombies after killing two Eldrazi," and "this is really awesome." Almost no one has any actual complaints about the quality of the writing.

Between the story, the invocation frames and current standard I can't work out if this is some kind of elaborate "Lets see how far we can push phoned in poo poo and see who still buys our product" or they've handed over creative control to a bunch of unpaid interns.

I hope the Ozymandias poem is buried (hehe) in the art and flavor text of some cards in the second set. I can see having to wait for a "Return to Amonkhet" block for it, though.

Eikre posted:They should have written the card names and typelines like the Rosetta Stone. Use actual hieroglyphs to render the words phonetically, then write them in English using a psuedo-Demotic typeset, and then write it one more time translated into Koine Greek with half-sized print. This is basically what I think they should have done. Plus getting rid of the stupid text; my 5 min. MS paint of your 5 min. MS paint:

CompeAnansi posted:I actually wouldn't be mad if it looked like that. Especially if the gold border was continuous around the card. My lovely MS paint skills only go so far, although I would have brought the bottom gold part down to reach the edge of the card if I were designing it, and I also would probably use some kind of textured coloring on the turquoise parts (but that's way out of my skill set). The idea should have been looking like a treasure you would have pulled from a Dynastic tomb, not like a bunch of seizure-Egypt poo poo with regular MTG art on it.
