PhyrexianLibrarian posted:Assuming the MTGS wiki is correct, she lived for a few centuries protecting the plane, then stuck herself in a hedron, then woke up when vampires screwed up the hedron network, then left Zendikar to find out why Sorin and Ugin didn't back her up (depending on the timeline, Ugin was dead at the time). That was all thousands of years ago and we haven't seen Nahiri since. There seems to be an assumption that, at some point during those years, Nahiri found Sorin and they had a huge falling-out that has led to her current attack on Innistrad. Rath does not exist as it merged with dominaria during the invasion

NofrikinfuN posted:If Emrakul is the mysterious corruption then I lose all interest in Innistrad. Zendikar was better pre-Eldrazi just like Mirrodin was better pre-Phyrexians. Having lesser villains and more infighting makes for a more interesting block in my opinion. your av sucks and you're wrong about everything. shocking.

NofrikinfuN posted:I'll give you interesting, but being on the receiving end of things like infect, annihilator, Elesh Norn and Emrakul as a casual budget player kind of soured me on them. I'm the guy that tried to make Battle Cry work without being able to afford Hero of Bladehold. I'm sure they did great things for competitive play, but they were totally not my bag. the quality of sets isn't determined by your poverty

The sad part is the pro tour /pro player club is entirely in OPs hands and marketing has no control over it because wotc's internal organization is so bad

Errant Gin Monks posted:I have a decent understanding of marketing, actually. Not a professional marketing level one but a good enough one to understand that the argument that pros deserve a living wage from Wizards to play a game has nothing to do with marketing. Pro players earning "livable" money (not really but let's assume this is true) creates a goal people can aspire to. That goal drives those players to buy more and play more. It also creates this possibility, however distant, for new players to go for. Beyond this Having recognizable figures people attach to your brand carries your brand wherever those people go. When efro/williams were getting into poker their pro magic playing status was mentioned. This is free advertisement and gives you exposure in places you wouldn't otherwise.

11k * 30 is ultimately an irrelevant number to wotc per year. Having a pro tour, pro players and a hall of fame as a goal to be aspired to creates far more long term value than the short term costs.

Yes and you have a different set of marketing to target those players. Which the do have. You see it every time your in your lgs. Competitive people in any hobby will exist and are generally an engaged audience willing to spend. So giving those people a reason to stick around is good. They're going to be competitive somewhere. If you don't make it your brand it will be somebody else and it's an all or nothing customer base.

Having bad guys means you have a good guy to cheer for against them. There is a reason comic books have villains. Games need them beyond the storyline villains.

wotc has the sisue that individual employees are given a lot of free reign and there is basically no accountability. if you've been there long enough you're never getting fired
