In case anyone gives even the slightest poo poo about Standard Shakeup (I do, the basics look nice), I went 6-0 with stock Bant Flash, replacing the Cutthroat with the green/blue color hosers.

She’s really into street/alternative fashion tho (pastel goth, Lolita, mori kei etc) so she’s probably not representative

I said this elsewhere, but what really bothers me about this isn't just that I think it's ugly (as someone who doesn't really get to call women's fashion ugly or not). It's the whole idea of taking multi-piece outfits and screen printing them onto a single piece of clothing reminds me of extremely lazy cosplay/costumes and seems incredibly tacky. The yoga pants have that issue but this dress on the right is the absolute worst example:



Also out of all the clothing shown I actually think the Jace robe is fine but mostly because it reminds me of what Balrog wears in SFV.

Same except Esper control, and the 4th wrath, bell-haunt, 2 Lilis, some counters and the 1UU lady walker in place of Teferis. The 1UU lady was actually really good.

A little known part of Magic lore is that Planeswalkers are granted a pick upon sparking to ensure a glorious hairdo after traversing the blind eternities.

psht, how many female 1UU walkers can there possibly be in standard

(also I still think mu is a good card that is going to see no standard play because she's overshadowed by the fact that two top 5 walkers are both 3 mana and blue and legal in standard currently)

Never would have thought arena would be one of those games lol

quote:

At Gamescom today we were excited to announce that we'll be bringing MTG Arena to millions more players around the world. And that all starts with Epic. This winter we'll be partnering with Epic to bring MTG Arena to the Epic Games Store on PC, and shortly after we'll be introducing a Mac version. We'll have more info on both as we get closer to the release dates.

What does this mean for existing players?

Nothing changes for anyone currently playing Magic: The Gathering Arena. When MTG Arena launches on the Epic Games Store, it will continue to be available for direct download from MTGArena.com. Existing players on the Wizards platform will not be required to create Epic accounts.

Will MTG Arena be exclusive to Epic Games on PC?

We are thrilled to be partnering with Epic to expand Magic's reach to new gamers from around the world. The Epic Games Store will be our exclusive third-party PC download partner (you will still be able to directly download the game from MTGArena.com).

Can friends play together if they download via the Epic Games Store or directly through the MTG Arena site?

Yes, you will be able to play with one another regardless of where you downloaded the game.

What about other platforms?

The plan has always been to bring MTG Arena to millions of players around the world. Currently, we're fine-tuning the game during its Open Beta on PC, but bringing the game to the Epic Games Store will be a great first step in taking Magic to new places.

After our launch on Epic, we will follow shortly after with a release for Mac.

In the meantime, if you haven't yet tried MTG Arena, now is a great time to get started. Simply visit MTGArena.com to learn more and download the best way to play digital Magic.

There's an argument that they're not in paper or on MODO because they have some kind of secondary value (though I think that just means they're actual gambling in addition to being lootboxes), but on Arena boosters are pretty clearly lootboxes.

The physical packs are not considered gambling because this stuff all got litigated with baseball cards and case law now says that physical trading cards aren't gambling.

If countries pass anti-loot-box legislation that could open it all up to being re-litigated though.
