ドーナツダメ!
Honestly, one of my favorite cards to come out of MID for Historic is Rotten Reunion. It hoses so many random value decks at instant speed. Phoenix, Cat/Oven, Darcy, Lurrus. It's free mill value, and it does so much random poo poo in zombie lists. Instant speed gatling zombie triggers, instant speed buff for Champion, instant speed tappable zombies for Cryptbreaker.

I've used one to get 4 power on the board at EOT against a control player to kill them from 8 with a single Corpse Knight. Hell, I've used it to screw an opponent's delirium after they targeted my 2/2 Champion with an Unholy Heat. :getin:

Edit: Oh. Forgot. The decay zombies trigger Undead Augur when they attack. So much value.

That is not Alchemy, that's just what historic is.

I only occasionally see sac decks in historic at the moment, mostly because the ones that don't board into the citadel gameplan get bodied by the phoenix decks out there. obviously small sample size of only my matches, but i wouldn't characterize it as a meta defining archetype

If someone is talking about making custom cards, I think it's fair to assume that they're either not using official frames or they're not using official artwork. If that's the case then they won't pass as real cards and thus count as "playtest cards" rather than counterfeits as WotC define them.

NotNut, if I've got that wrong please let me know and I'll stop talking about it.

Yeah, the cards I'm making couldn't pass for real because the names don't exist in Magic, the frames say the site I designed them on, the artwork is custom, and the only people I'm even showing them to are the ones who recognize them as all representing stuff from a D&D campaign we played

It should work fine. Was it something dumb like not having the mana?

No, it must be a bug. I had the mana, it just didn’t consider it a target. With the same lands out they played another red permanent and that was targetable.

While I have never stopped following magic, I haven't really played in years except for occasionally logging onto mtgo and playing some sort of pauper delver variant. I'd like to start playing arena for the new kamiga set, but I don't really have time to keep up with standard rotation. Are there any successful aggro/tempo/delverish decks in historic?

they are insane even if you play those things

they recently announced a book i would be interested in a premium copy of with play aids, and the actual stuff for playing the game is only like a third to a half of the poo poo they toss in, then there's costume jewelry for every single possible guild (think ravnica guilds) and fake coins and poo poo and gently caress

i would have paid $125 USD for the extra battlemaps, NPC cards, etc

but unless i win the lottery this week i'm not buying a bunch of bullshit jewelry

Nerd poo poo is cool now and lots of people like to dump a lot of money on merch for Their Favourite Thing for no reason and the prices keep climbing cause people are willing to pay for perceived quality.

Sort of like Magic Cards.

I content that if you're nerdy enough to have a bunch of merch, overpriced or not, you're still not cool.

i love the current ones for midnight hunt and crimson vow but it's cost me a turn (game?) when i thought i didn't have any lands of one color only to realize later on that i did. even on the basic lands in the set its hard to discern. i still play with them but now i properly group them.

these look cool but i don't know if i'd play them except for a mono deck.

You know those placeholder cards you sometimes find in packs that are just a Magic back with the front being totally black? We're getting closer to those as basic lands.

I mean if they had completely blank cards that just said "FOREST", "PLAINS", etc, in the same style as the DISCARD cards people would pay $30 for a set of 5 ($40 for foils).

I think those look awful but I also thought the blacked-out SDCC planeswalker promos looked like poo poo and people seemingly loved those, I think the lesson for WOTC is you can print literally any art style on something and if it it's LIMITED EDITION players will line up to pay for it.
