This is getting spicy! https://twitter.com/Mesa_47_/status/1594451414683897858?s=20&t=ZLYe0HemaB1TAjGubuKQzw Hmm. We knew the 4 collected companies. But these other foils are also a bit... sus. The pathway is basically the only card that is not collected company or a hit from collected company. Half of these foils are sideboard cards too, important ones. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1657245794?t=9h47m14s That is the upkeep collected company. It didn't make sense. It also hit two of those foil cards previously shown. Hmm, i guess it makes more sense if you had a good idea about the top card?

It's a real indictment of the company that products made for the game they sell can't be used without jumping through a bunch of hoops

Plus if it’s just about curved foils what does Secret Lair have to do with any of it? They’re not foiled any differently.

Oh JFC, i see it now. He bent the bottom right corners lmao (card face forward). Its also the corners he hides on those companies in the picture. You see them on video if you look close enough. He pulled a loving Yuuya! Paper magic is back baby!

I was super confused. Why have they gone to all this effort for this one card? I mean, it makes sense, with the flavour and all, but, why?

It's a good idea for an individual, sure. But even then, it's not foolproof: DFCs don't curl because they're foiled on both sides, FTVs curl even more aggressively...

I remember a similar thing happening to someone who had a bunch of altered art cards from Feline Longmore. They basically got DQed because of how the alter affected how the cards looked and felt in sleeve. The moral of the story is just don't play foils/altered art stuff in anything except EDH.

Aphrodite posted:MTG also used to have foils that didn't curl. It was still a problem back then because they were thicker too. Remember playing with someone in a tournament who had an entirely foil Affinity deck in standard, otherwise you almost never saw foils at big tournaments. I used beta and APAC lands for bling for that reason

Apparently Pokemon promo foils curl badly, but not regular ones. Different card stock for promos? Or different foiling process?

Captain Invictus posted:original mtg foils definitely didn't curl nearly as badly, the cardstock was much sturdier. I pulled out my remnants from my original collection from over 20 years ago and my urza's legacy/destiny/masques foils were still almost entirely flat, meanwhile I'm sure thread regs remember when I posted my commander legends collector pack results, which were so pringled they literally could not stack on top of each other The only issue with old foils is the cloudy issues with them. You are right in that the current state of magic cards and foils is due to cooperate greed and using the shittiest paper they can.

Time posted:The ponder bug is not real. Someone did a statistical analysis of like 1000 ponder casts and seeing the card you shuffled away on top happened the expected amount of times. Hasn't it happened that someone has bottomed the only copy of a card and then immediately drew it though? I could have sworn that's actually happened

I could have sworn that's actually happened I forget his name and exact circumstance but on stream once an SCG grinder shuffled away his only basic island from the top of his deck, got his opponent to shuffle and cut, and then drew it on his next draw step and revealed it to his opponent and stream for a laugh. Then like a month later he got me tooed. Edit: Todd Stevens fadam fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Nov 21, 2022 |

have to vent; just had a BRO draft arena match where I kept a 3 land hand and proceeded to brick on my next 10 draws for land in a 17 land deck. i think the chance of that is less than 1% this loving game sometimes

Instead of players manipulating shuffles and marking cards n poo poo we get more elaborate make-a-movie-about-it schemes and hijinks for trying to corrupt, plant, or manipulate a licensed Magic Dealer or particular Magic Casino. Having a dealer might even open up new design space. Wonder if they'd change the language of drawing cards?

Has there ever been a movie based around or even nominally involving Magic or another TCG? I can think of some anime but not any live action films or shows. Or even just a one off episode, like some shows have a DnD-esque episode in some fashion. ill even take a family guy reference bit. maybe big bang theory mentioned it once, anything?

Rodolfo is an interesting design but I don't know if he had applications outside of singleton formats. He clearly can't just be dropped into existing angel decks but it does look like a strategy could be built around him.
