Why would that artist literally copy and paste the Titans so flagrantly? At least slightly redraw them from the new angle. Also if they beat Ulamog and Kozilek by setting them on fire that is definitely the stupidest possible resolution to this storyline. Clearly the way to defeat Phyrexia is to set their glistening oil on fire.

suicidesteve posted:This is presumably meant to be the same battle from each of the superfriends's perspective. I'm assuming there will be a white and blue one from a slightly different angle too. Except it isn't from their perspective unless the Titans are literally two dimensional sprites from a fifteen year old rpg so they look the same from any angle. I thought it'd be a mural, but Nissa is covering up Kozi's arm in her card, and that arm is clear in Chandra's. It just seems lazy and uninspired not to shift the titan's a little to change the perspective. Look at how far away Gideon is - if the titan's aren't redrawn for his card then it's going to look very weird next to Jace's. Nibble posted:I doubt it - in the art and flavor text, Bonds has Jace and Nissa, Fall has Gideon and Chandra. They might have similar cards to better represent Jace's and Gideon's contributions elsewhere, but I don't see them having even more cards depicting the exact same scene. There's definitely no excuse for not doing a redraw if it's just two cards and not a full four.

Shadow225 posted:Hello Magic thread. I have recently been given the Meren Commander deck as a gift. I began tinkering with it, and found I have some rules questions. 1. 3. They all die at the same time, and Meren "sees" that three other creatures died. 2. Before. You sacrifice the Elder as a cost to use the ability, so when the ability goes on the stack, the Sifter sees that and triggers. 3. 2/4. The original Mirrodin wording makes it more clear, but if that card isn't specifically in the exile zone anymore, nothing is imprinted so Duplicant just reverts back to a 2/4. 4. Permanently exiled until some other card says otherwise. 5. Trample is a good ability, you deal 3 damage to them and the 1/1 becomes a 2/2. 6. Probably? The 0/0 comes in, triggering Ezuri, and then the equipment attaches to buff the 0/0.

superstepa posted:Is MTGO worth it for pauper? No stores here play paper pauper and I really want to play a competitive format but right now I can't afford a legit modern or legacy deck. You have to pay to participate in MTGO pauper tournaments right? If pauper wasn't being played so heavily I would not have MTGO installed. When they intentionally sabotaged the daily events, I did not play any MTGO. I started again when they brought Pauper Leagues into existence. Pauper is very fun. MTGO is excessively terrible. Think of it this way, comparing this thread to MTGO - Pauper is that Chandra/Jace+Sorin photoshop, the MTGO client is McMagic's posts. You've gotta decide whether that's worth it to you. also I haven't paid money into MTGO for like four years so ask someone else about financial junk.

Rinkles posted:Why the sideboard detonate, even w/ 2 shatters? Didn't want to overload on artifact hate and get smashed by a Green deck. Green appeared to be getting cut from both sides, so I'm worried about that. First round I discovered Clockwork Condor isn't a loving Clockwork creature like I'm used to from Shandalar, so I got super punished for not reading my cards. My 3/3 becoming a 2/2 instead of a 2/3 was unfun. It probably should be that Goblin Dirigible, since that untap ability is pretty great with the Gauntlets. I don't think Detonate should have been maindecked in hindsight. I'm glad to have it to side in, but I have a lot of artifact removal already.

rabidsquid posted:it comes with some poo poo for a new player draft. i don't know what this is as my account is like 13 years old or something stupid You get 5 regular event tickets and 20 "new player points", which is enough to do 5 new player drafts. They're regular drafts with a 4 player pod, you play two matches and get untradeable packs as prizes. The packs are weird five card packs with random cards from whatever set you just drafted. I made a second account because my collection was so big it was slowing my client to a crawl because WotC, and I got like 20 packs in prizes and opened basically nothing, but the drafts were pretty fun.

 Please read the cards, especially the rare. Myr Incubator says "6, Opponent has one turn to answer this or kill you. If not, pay 6 mana to win the game." Also wheeled so many cards this draft that I had 25 playables after pack 2. Fourth Pick Spikeshot Goblin in second pack too, and wheeled several Talismans.  Somehow drew 7 lands in M2G3 which is kind of impressive in a 14 land deck. Remainer of my deck after activating Incubator was Spirit, Spirit, Irridate, Stone, Shrieker, Shaman, Blast, and 3 more basics. Oh well got Stone good times. Also seriously do people just not read what the cards do?  that card shouldn't be going sixth pick. It's slow, but it isn't expensive to drop and counts for Affinity, and late game you just Overrun every turn. Also got a foil Lodestone Myr fourth. The rare and two uncommons were missing, so I guess that might not be horrible, but there are few cards you should take over Lodestone Myr. A 4 mana trampling 8/8 is pretty nice.

superstepa posted:So I gave in and bought an MTGO account and it's not that bad? The business model is very archaic but the interface isn't anywhere near as bad as everyone says it is (although I expected it to be a Duels of the Planeswalker levels of atrocious so I might have set my expectations too low). I've playing in open pauper rooms all day and it works really well, I might even drop some more money on it to play in the pauper tournament It gets really bad when you start using the Collection or Trade interfaces more. Also if you play more often, you'll run into way more fun-ruining bugs. The client really is awful. It may reach the bare minimum now, but trust me - for a long time, it didn't.

Most decks playing Claim don't care about the opponent's life total much to begin with.

Would many decks run 5-8 of that? I could see 5 maybe but as it stands I prefer to mix in Thoughtseize anyway. Probably only 8-Rack would care. Make it a common while you're at it, Pauper would love Inquisition.

Chamale posted:Reminds me of the time I activated Cursed Scroll naming Liliana, and randomly revealed Liliana of the Veil from my hand. My opponent said I hadn't uniquely identified which Liliana I meant. The judge was sitting nearby and told him to gently caress off. Of course, that's regular REL with a store full of people who know each other. I honestly think Borborygmosgate was handled properly because of the stakes involved, but it's an unfortunate situation. I think Borborygmos is literally the only character with two Modern-legal cards one of which is just his first name. Nicol Bolas was timeshifted.
