I like how our Mary Sue, Jace, has had only one new planeswalker card since Magic Origins.

Who's got time for beads? I just turn my cards just slightly to the right so they're not straight and that's good enough.

I'm referring to when people turn their cards over maybe ten degrees when they tap them for an ability or attack.

whydirt posted:This just reminds me of how dumb it was that the creative team made the dragons plane one where there were no baby or young dragons so there could only be C/U dragon cards through finding corner case drawbacks and other silliness. There is one dragon in Shards of Alara block that is uncommon. The rest are all rares or mythic rares. And all dragons in Onslaught block are rare, even though Scourge pushes a dragon tribe.

The Sexual Shiite posted:What if they're getting around the reserved list by recompiling cards that they had printed way back in the day? I think they quietly acquired those cards from second-hand sellers and insert them into packs. The masterpiece cards in Battle for Zendikar are a callback to that.

I would kill for a printmaker to do some illustrations for Magic. But that's not exactly an easy process of making art.

Rinkles posted:What are you getting at? With traditional media, you have to document the commissioned artwork. The original size for a lot of Magic artwork is around 11x14, which is too big for most scanners. There are scanners available that can scan images larger than letter size, but that's a method that really only works with artwork done with pen and ink or watercolor. The other way that artwork gets documented is by mounting it on a wall and having a light setup so that even, reflected light is shining on the artwork and you photograph it. There are also mounts you can get for cameras where the camera is facing down and you place artwork underneath it. But you can't photograph artwork in a room where the walls are bright orange because that orange is going to get reflected on the artwork. And you can't photograph artwork with a cheap camera, you need good and expensive equipment if you want print-quality reproduction. It's easier to do copy work now because digital cameras let you see how your photography went and you can adjust it pretty easily on the computer, but imagine seeing your copy work turning out like crap in 1995. You gotta do it all over again. The other problem with traditional media is that it's more difficult to make adjustments to the artwork if the art director wants changes. It's easier to do that if your work is a painting, but pen and ink and watercolor are not very easy to make adjustments with because once you put something down, you can't undo it. And, there's the issue of space, having to replace materials, and ventilation if your materials require it. If you illustrate with oil paints, you can't just dump your spent turpenoid down the drain in your kitchen because it will gently caress up the drain and the chemicals from the pigments in the paints and vehicles need good ventilation. And it can take up a bit of space at home if where you live is tiny. You gotta store that equipment and artwork somewhere. A lot of illustrators moved on to digital work because it's an easier workflow. All you need is the software of your choice and a means to input that artwork and a desk. You don't have to photograph artwork and changes requested by the client are easier to implement. You then just send the work to your client in an email or upload it to a server. That doesn't make digital art the superior way to do art, but for a lot of freelance illustrators, it makes their workflow a lot simpler to just do that. The foundations and principles of design don't magically change just because the work is on a computer instead of a mounted canvas.

I went 1-2 in a prerelease because nine mountains in your deck means you will never, ever have the two mountains available to cast Glorybringer and Sweltering Sands.

also loving  at the one hardcore mtgfinance grog that thinks Tarmogoyf is overprinted and would be devastated if the reserved list was abolished. He's only playing in one prerelease, but bought six kits and is ripping them all open and cracking the packs. The guy's an accountant for gently caress's sake.

My favorite thing at prerelease will always be watching people buy a stack of prerelease kits and open them all and never play in an event. They'll spend $180 for six kits just to crack the packs and go.

goth smoking cloves posted:I am reasonably sure you aren't allowed to sell those until after the set comes out. The way around it is to register then for the tournament and then have them drop immediately. I'm told that people that get those where I play is that they are able to pay for all six prerelease events for $160. Where I play, we always get a pack in prizes for participation, and the owner includes that extra pack with each kit if people are just buying them to open amd not play. In the end, they get 42 packs and six bonus rares for $160 and it comes out to like $3.80 per pack. That's a whopping $8.40 in savings. I have no idea how many kits a store is supposed to order, but in a town of ten thousand people in central Wyoming, they're not going to sell out. People do come to play from as far as sixty miles away, but turnout was low because it's prom weekend for three neighboring towns so the high school kids that commute from those places were out doing that. So far, the only thing anyone has done to affect the store's reputation was they complained that one of the other regulars was cheating and getting away with it. He was just some shitstain that couldn't handle losing regularly to a fifteen-year-old girl and even our local judge was contacted by Wizards to confirm this player existed and that she was a pretty good limited player.

So I'm entering my Amonkhet cards into my collection tracker on MTGGoldfish and I see that Glorybringer is now at $12. I don't know what the hell for but I'm glad I preordered the other three I need for a playset last night at $5.95 each.

suicidesteve posted:I can be annoyed that a bunch of people who don't play a format got a card/deck banned even if I've never played that deck. Especially when it's not the first time it happened. I haven't been able to play Legacy since 2013, but the ban should have been for Terminus so Counter Top could still live. But I think that the same people that play with Top slowly in Miracles would be just as miserable with it in Counter Top.
