Oh neat, some rules technology being added to the back of a 20yo game and the grognards don't like it. It's clunky as-is and I'd rather a fresh start for magic where this could be better implemented but oh well. Works well enough.

The interesting thing about this game mechanic is really if WOTC can manage to actually use it well, since this mechanic already exists as void will in force of will. So far FOW really hasn't done much with it.

suicidesteve posted:Well I guess that makes my decision of whether I'm going or not easy. Good, I didn't actually want to play but I know I would have. This is a common thing I see about this hobby. I mostly see it with my friends who started grinding seriously and feel like they have something to prove. You don't have to play this game. If it's not fun, back away and come back to it later - if at all. Don't turn into one of those joyless dudes who feel obligated to do events. That's why we have "that guy."

Recess Rapist posted:I feel like I saved $150. Is this what it's like when you don't buy cards? It feels good. Does anyone read this thread who spends no money on Magic? How good does it feel?  i spend or trade magic for board games instead. I actually just got this sweet eurogame called Orleans! It almost got the Kennerspiel des Jahres this year. I think the only money I spend on magic now is a $15 draft and $5 constructed at the beginning of every semester and just ride the store credit until the end.

Didn't hear about the Fabiano story before but glad he got a temp ban. Friend played him at a GP before and we were sure he was cheating then too but only after the game and after my friend told us the story. Magical wizard drama is the best. it's like reading Harry Potter books 4-6 all over again but with man children. Admiral posted:Shameless plug time! Could you make more of these stickers?

Seriously guys it's as basic as wanting to have a <><> mana leak or having <>/(2) costs. It's not hard. Maybe it'll get people to play more colorless lands in modern. The colorless purchase and creation mismatch was something I struggled with early on. This just closes that hole.

JerryLee posted:I don't understand why you'd make any Magic game that wasn't very closely tied to the TCG mechanics, because it seems like most of the selling points for MTG reside in the familiarity and appeal of those mechanics (whether the mechanics are good on an objective level is, of course, debatable). Once you move it into something that plays substantially differently, you're trying to compete against other potential fictional universes on the basis of characters and setting features, and I don't think MTG matches up very favorably. Yeah it's weird. As you know in the other thread, but others here might not, 40k gets a huge boost of popularity every single time a non-tabletop implementation of the game is made. They all play wildly differently from the /tg version. But that's cuz it thrives on its setting. Magic essentially does the same thing as 40k, but it uses staggered implementation of pop culture instead of a continuous one. That's probably its biggest flaw there wrt IP consciousness. You could probably grow the IP to the likes of 40k if you started caring about Legacy/Vintage, where all these pop culture universes are constant, and making it the main game but WOTC clearly doesn't want to do that. Also they'd have to revisit Kamigawa and make it much more ^___^ kawaii sugoi with ninja, samurai, and tons of geisha only. Though now I wonder how popular those funko pop bobbleheads and action figures are. If magic has any sort of IP usefulness outside of the game, those would sell. I've only ever seen them sit on a shelf for months, but that's anecdotal.

Angry Grimace posted:But it isn't baggage. Stuff taps for colorless all the time. I do think it's important that people clearly delineate between "colorless" and "generic." Generic mana and its costs is what any source of mana can create. Colorless is not. People are getting tripped up by this simple thing. It's really weird.In addition to fun new counters that require you to pay in <>, they can start using it for sweet kicker-style bonuses too. It's a whole lot of space, people. FOW barely tapped its potential.

Angry Grimace posted:It's actually really smart to the point I don't get why it wasn't in BFZ over dumb Devoid. The only upside I see is that you would be able to find all your good colorless spells early on in draft and have support for them later with BFZ. Like maybe the +0/+1 buffer dude becomes actually useful. The funniest thing is if this, combined with the dumb 2HG gimmick, means both standard and draft decline in popularity while modern

Right now I've seen people shifting to draft if they don't have modern decks. This might be a funny 3-8 shot if it dunks draft too. OTOH, decrease in player turnout might mean a later "surge" in numbers again. Bright side!

Just like EDH, this game was not made to be a 3+ player endeavor. Perhaps try Caverna or Campaign for North Africa? The latter takes 10 players with estimated time for a game totaling 1200 hours. Lots of bonding time in there IMO.
