Brawnfire posted:Do you recommend that? Because I am very curious I'm not sure how good it was for its stated purpose of "find out what sort of sleep you're getting, so you can try different things when you're asleep (white noise, etc)". I think if you paired it with some sort of sensor it would be better for actually telling you what was going on, but as far as a curiosity thing it was pretty cool to be able to hear what happened at night. I'm a pretty light sleeper so usually what would happen is it would record the noise and then record that I had woken up. I'm not sure how it did this but it instructed you to put your phone under your pillow, so I guess some sort of vibration detection? Most of what it caught was either my pets being idiots, farts, or my kids waking up and asking for a drink of milk.

This sounds awesome tbh, I love having records of poo poo that happens while I'm unconscious, especially if I say something bonkers or make a weird-rear end noise. And maybe I'll find out just how bad my sleep apnea truly is.

You put money in, it makes a lot of noises and bright colours, and you keep doing that till you have no money left. So it's exactly the same as actual slot machines but without that weird glitch where sometimes some of the money you put in comes back out so you have to waste time putting it back in again.

This has happened before with a card called Jace the Mind Sculptor and it led to a huge disinterest in the competitive scene for a while.

That's why people are mad, why they chose to collaborate with a tv series well past it's prime is an open question. I suspect it's "AMC came calling with a bundle of money", but no one can say for sure.

I barely know anything about Magic since about 2003 (the last set I remember is Planeshift.)The Planeswalker cards still confuse me. But this is fascinating. I want to hear more about the new ban list and what's so special about Jace.

I think most TCGs are playing it pretty safe right now, since they don't have a lot of events going on so they want to give people a bit more of a chance to play the new cards than they normally would. I know Yugioh's in the same sort of situation right now. Granted, Yugioh's not dealing with a 'cards too overpowered for you to not use'. Right now theirs is more 'one card that you always need to have a game plan for', which is less painful.

Usually when a card is as broken as Jace there's some power combo with another card that wasn't foreseen and as a result the more powerful card had to go. There's no such entertaining story here. Jace was just really loving good. The top 3 abilities are just really good all around, the fact that the first two are free is even more mind boggling. The last one is also incredibly powerful even if the cost is prohibitive. Edit: Ah crap im sorry I didn't realize the resolution and I cant change attached images.

RandomFerret posted:I have been out of the game way too long, I have no idea what those numbers on the side mean It's basically an enchantment with health (the number in the bottom right). Once per your turn it can gain/lose the amount of health listed to activate the noted ability. And your oppo can attack it with creatures to lower it's health.

Yeah short version is its his HP. You can do one of those moves once per turn and the ones with positive values (usually weaker) add health and negative take it away. The fact you can force discard an opponent's card not just for free but only makes him stronger is just the tip of his bullshit.

And then they made an even better Planeswalker just last year! https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=473159 There are a lot of banned Magic cards from recent sets: https://magic.wizards.com/en/game-info/gameplay/rules-and-formats/banned-restricted This is after Wizards made a big hullabaloo about having professional players playtest and balance these sets so that the power level is reasonable. Many, if not all, of those cards aren't even banned because of some random unforeseen edge case interaction, it was literally the most obvious interaction you can have with them. Then the newest set, Zendikar Rising, printed Omnath, who many people speculate will be eating a ban at some point. This isn't even getting to cards like Scute Swarm, which aren't overpowered, but that may or may not be breaking the MTGA client and is possibly impossible to play in person. Why, you may wonder?  In addition to the sheer number of creatures on the board, I would like to direct your attention to the 212 effects on the stack to poo poo out more of these things.

I can understand them not expecting Omnath to take off like it did. That's the classic mistake of thinking that having it cost 4 different colors would keep it from being too powerful (spoilers: it didn't). But they have no excuse for Oko. Giving a player the ability to permanently morph any creature or artifact giving them any trouble into a mediocre elk? Once a turn? For three mana? On top of that, using that ability each turn makes him harder to get rid of. And that's just one of its abilities. They don't even have the excuse that Jace did where planeswalkers were still new and they were still feeling out how strong was too strong.

Jace is good, and stupidly so, but what pushed me out of competitive play was Skullclamp back in the first Mirrodin cycle. That one card took a healthy Standard format with 8-12 viable decks in the top 2 tiers and made it into a 3 deck format, period. Clamps were uncommon (aka rarely more than $10 apiece) and I sold my last playset (4x) for $165 about a week before the ban went into effect, well after they had announced that Skullclamp was either going to be banned, errata'd (rewritten) or restricted (meaning you can't use 4 in a deck, which would have been the first Restricted card in Standard Format since it was created after the Urza's block). Magic is fun, but Wizards has little idea what they're doing when they print cards. The Future Future League (where they play with unreleased sets) is all staff members and former pros who no longer give a poo poo, they're not building great decks, they're playing casual magic with unprinted cards.

CharlestheHammer posted:You got to sell these sets somehow This. It's all pretty much traceable. Standard (the main format the game is played in), had had very few bans in its lifetime. There was one big one in Urza's block, in 1999, because that was a set before they started figuring things out, then in 2004-2005 the Mirrodin block had another few bans because the synergy had been just too strong, which led to a period of quiet. Things continued smoothly until 2011, with no Standard bans. In 2011, Jace the Mind Sculptor (posted above), and Stoneforge Mystic were banned. Strong cards, but just pushed a bit too far, and Wizards seemed to take them as a lesson. So we went from 5 years without a ban, to 6 years without one, pretty fair, can't be perfect all the time. Things are good until January 2017, when another 3 cards were banned, and the ban schedule changes. Another 6 years without a ban, fair enough. In April's scheduled ban announcement, no bans, then two days later, they revised it to ban a common card which was part of a two-card infinite combo, something that should've been caught before the two saw play together. June saw another card banned, making it a year with three separate bannings (total of five cards). January 2018, another four cards are banned. We've gone from going years between bans, to basically having them be part of regularity, within the span of a year. February 2019, a card is banned from the online Standard game (separate to the paper one). August sees an unbanning from Standard, but the card remains banned online. So far so good, until October, which sees a card banned from paper, and November sees another three (including the non-Jace planeswalker mentioned above). 2020 sees stuff ramping up more. Two cards banned in June, another four in August, and another one now in September, and yet there's still "problematic" cards that are not addressed. It feels very cynical to me, how pushed cards are printed, you basically need them to compete, they sell their packs, then they get banned. Magic is supposed to have the advantage of set rotation (you basically can't use cards older than a certain time etc), compared to Yu-Gi-Oh! (which just has a banned and restricted list), but with multiple bans a year, it kinda shakes your faith in the whole situation. Edit: WeedlordGoku69 posted:The thing is, there's an obvious way to cut this Gordian knot, and it's just... the inverse of what they did for Godzilla. The Head Designer for Magic has said that they can do functional reprints of them, printing them with different names, like you said. Serperoth has a new favorite as of 21:06 on Oct 1, 2020 |

The thing is, there's an obvious way to cut this Gordian knot, and it's just... the inverse of what they did for Godzilla. Unless the cards' mechanics are TWD-specific somehow, it wouldn't be very hard to just refluff them into a generic zombie block that conveniently has cards with all the same mechanics in the event they lose the TWD license.

Either they have to put the name on the card, rule it by fiat, or some people get to play twice as many. And the cards specifically make Walker tokens, which puts a wrinkle in things. There are a bunch of things they could do, but they haven't said much on what they will do. By my reading what they have said implies the third option is the path they're open to taking, but it's a developing situation.

And the cards specifically make Walker tokens, which puts a wrinkle in things. Don't the Godzilla cards count as the same as their originals for deck purposes? I would just rule it so that the TWD licensed card and the generic card count as the same card.  e: and, like, you could just rename "Walker" to "Zombie" and come up with some generic zombie art for those tokens. It's not a zero-effort fix, and would require them to pay for a bunch of new art and flavor text, but it's presumably very doable.
