Has anybody theorized that they might get rid of the legend rule, but instead you're just not allowed to play more than one copy of a Legend in a deck?

whydirt posted:That’s literally the original legend rule No it isn't, several formats had them restricted but one oer deck was never part of the legend rule. The first legend rule was if you played a copy of a legend that was already in play your copy was buried. Then in Kamigawa it was changed to both copies are buried. Then in 2013 it was changed to only look at your board state and only one of your choice would be buried.

jpmeyer posted:I remember playing planechase in one of the old duels of the planeswalkers games and it honestly mostly sucked. The planes were either so low impact that you forgot they existed, or were so debilitating that the game stopped until someone could planeswalk away to something else. Yeah, my playgroup collected all the planechase cards at one point, and had a few games, and, it's really poo poo. On paper, it sounds really cool, but in practice, it's exactly as you describe: It either doesn't really matter and is kind of irritating busywork, or it's what wins the game. Since it's totally random, and further randomised by dice rolls, it means you're playing games with a mechanic that either doesn't matter, or means that the game ends randomly. So, in effect, all you're adding is "The chance that the game isn't decided by player actions". And then, because the deck itself is randomised, you can't even change what you're doing next time. Like, if someone with an artifact deck just goes off on the artifact plane, you can't go "Well I'll add more artifact hate" because then for ten games in a row the planes just reset the board state / make the game last annoyingly longer or something, and then the eleventh game, they randomly hand the game to the combo player by giving them a ton of free mana and cards. Your deckbuilding decisions become much less meaningful. What it does mean is that big mana is rewarded, since you always have a powerful mana sink. So, the only meaningful decision in deckbuilding is "put more big mana in" which actually ends up making the decks more homogenous. Also, frequently, the better option than 'play the deck you built' is just 'pay to roll the dice'. And sometimes, you'll take a turn that's just rolling dice without any consequence. Sometimes your opponents will do this. You play less of your deck, so, again, there's less individuality. So not only is it not a very fun experience, it actually results not in chaotic excitement, but homogenous games decided by random chance. It takes the game much much closer to just rolling for who wins. It's poo poo. !Klams fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Jan 12, 2023 |

I've had planechase be fun exactly once: after a draft where we just had some drinks and played our draft decks with a tablet in the middle of the table until the bar closed

I had completely forgotten about the dice rolls to be honest. If you eliminated the dice rolls and just had some other way to planeshift I think it could probably work. But then you'd probably need each player to bring a deck of planes that they could walk between.. and since they're oversized of course WotC would sell them in separate special packs. Deck constructions becomes 60 card main deck, 15 card sideboard, 10 card planeshift deck. And naturally there will be rare/mythic rare planes that are the ones you actually want

Ante is back. flip it or rip it becomes officially supported tournament format New rules mean WOTC gets 10% of all third party sales and trades.

while I don't personally ever remember the legend rule being a deckbuilding restriction, the wikia text sources the claim to two maro blog posts (not reliable) and an old WOTC arcana post (goes to a 404).

Historically, major rules changes have been to shift the game towards the way newer players play the game. Batches to a single stack, damage on the stack, deathtouch + trample, removing mana burn, burning Planeswalkers, the legend rule, etc. were all based on the way newer players assumed the game was played anyway. I don't see them changing the game in a way that will suddenly make kitchen table players suddenly be playing the game all wrong. What rules are difficult to explain to inexperienced players, or rules many people want changed and would go with what's being hinted at in the lore? It's unlikely the legend rule will be changed to affect current legendary permanents. Maro has said he doesn't like the legendary supertype, but if they do away with it I think it would mean being retired going forward. No more legendary cards the same way there aren't more enchant world cards being printed. There would be some signifier that a card could be used as a commander. Maybe have the word "Legend" bolded below the card name, and change the Commander rules to "Legendary creatures and cards with the Legend signifier can be your commander". It would mean legendary cards couldn't be balanced around players only having one in play, but that's nothing they can't prepare for. Lore-wise why can a player control two Thruns (March of the Machines, #69)? Multiverse is weird. No more Planeswalkers is an interesting one. They are overdone and not as exciting anymore*, and if the Multiverse is less multi and more uni then they're not special in the lore. Let's be honest, if they're gone as a card type then WotC won't be able to resist bringing them back in the future. A few years of Chandra, Karn, etc. as legendary creatures and then "The connection between planes is shattered and planeswalkers are back!" is a juicy marketing strategy. * No matter how bad a planeswalker is, new players' faces still light up when they open a mythic planeswalker. Only Hasbro has the data if that's actually selling packs though.

All cards from March of the Machine onward will be printed exclusively in the Phyrexian language. Better start brushing up on it while you can!

If only we had a name for the rule that all legends are on the restricted list. What could that be?quote:daracaex asked: At any point in Magic's history, was it ever considered to make Legendary a deckbuilding restriction instead of a gameplay one?

The next set will be Jace's funeral and phyrexian jace, black jace, snake haired jace (spoiler his son with medusa), and his exact twin jesse the mind sculptor who just wants you to call him jace in honor of his poor departed twin brother will all show up vying for his legacy.

As a child I read a Magic lore novel and Ante was a significant part of the final battle. That's back when players were planeswalkers though, much like mana burn getting shelved in 2009 I wonder when that changed. Going to paper draft Dominaria Remastered on Friday. I've only drafted DMU so it'll be a lot of live card evaluation, I'm excited.

I read that book as a kid too, I thought it was funny that they basically just played Magic, with their spells being little items stored in a satchel with bags of dirt from their lands. Though they weren't planeswalkers, only the villain and the protagonist (eventually) were walkers.

There's a bit near the end, not the final fight but he has to fight a duel against a woman he'd been traveling with? She wanted it to be "to the death" and when he wins he angrily snatches a spell out of her satchel and says "I only wanted to play for a spell!". Right before he planeswalks, iirc.
