Chandra is a relatively common surname in India. I don't know if it's more common as a first name for men or women, but there are definitely a lot of people with Chandra as a last name.

My in-laws have a family friend who named his kid Drizzt. Most Magic names would probably be a step up from that.

Is the joke here that HOU shouldn't have been legal, or that it's a very low percentage of HOU cards? I don't know how MTGO works*. *insert joke that writes itself here

There was a kid who started playing Magic at my LGS because his name was Jace and his friends told him he should play because he had the same name as one of the main characters. He was too old to have been named after the card.

The only other person named Jace I've ever heard of was some poor child on Teen Mom. Probably less of a wanker than M:tG Jace, even still.

In a format with over 2000 cards and a set that makes up about 10% of that pool, how many cards do you think should be played 48 hours into pre-release and several days before the set is actually released. People were saying the same things about Amonkhet the week it released and those cards seem to be in a decent amount of standard and even the modern decks that I saw in the last GP.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l0jGq3IGmo Saffron Olive does really well with a Solemnity deck, using FInks and Geralf's Messenger, some sac outlets and Phyrexian Unlife for the hard lock. Ends up beating some good decks including Affinity, couple of eldrazi decks and some other stuff (Get's hosed bad by tron tho).

Too bad the enchantment deck is like a million dollars to put together these days. There's an Enchantment deck in Modern? I though Enduring Ideal was pretty niche, and I can't think of another deck that runs a bunch of enchantments. Or do you mean Legacy? I put together that Enchantress prison deck for Modern but am scared to actually take it out and realize that it sucks.

Enduring Ideal is the deck that I was talking about and basically sums up "casual" in every way. The main issue is runed halo and Greater Auramancy are printed in shadowmoor at rare. They are now almost 20 a piece for each card. There is also a lot of random stuff you can put in it that are much more expensive than it should be because of edh.

Apparently there's a Final Fantasy tcg now? It's a real bummer they couldn't' be bothered to make new art for it. I'm probably not the target audience, but it just seems so incredibly lazy to just be re-using the same assets from 97'. Even from a branding perspective, it makes all these really jarring- as most of the illustrations weren't meant to fill that space. 'oh this doesn't fit? uhhh duplicate it and set it half the opacity cool good job.' Some of em' are literally just screenshots from the cut scenes. https://fftcg.cdn.sqexeu.com/files/downloadables/fftcg-opus1.pdf Which is all to say, man it's great Magic still hires professional artists, even if some of them are annoyingly CGI-y.

The Solemnity Deck is pretty interesting but you could play Ad Nauseum for wayyyyy cheaper and for more consistency, but I do like what the deck accomplishes as a "jank" brew.

Its gimmicks include discarding for mana, no floating mana, and (if you squint) a vaguely similar system to Vanguard's triggers. The art is lazy and it's a blatant cash grab because it was already a Japan-only game several years ago and SE decided to reboot it in other markets.

Adding on this, the game had severe product shortages for months. The only game with worse shortages was Star Wars Destiny. Final Fantasy is basically Magic's combat phase with a bad resource system attached, and the only reason it's still alive is that fans of Japanese TCG imports will gobble up anything from Japan.
