i can't fathom the stupidity of people complaining about Amonkhet not having Bolas in it when he's the headliner of the next set

BJPaskoff posted:Is this a reference to me in the last thread? I was just observing that he wasn't in the set (because I forgot the Hour mock-up packaging), not complaining. oh no, it's a reference to maro's blog, it seems like every page has at least one person upset about it i imagine reddit is similar but i dont check that out like, ever

I'm not saying you dedicate a multi part story to it, I'm saying you give her a character arc so you don't have another static boring as gently caress character. her character arc looks like its gonna be "is a lesbian with chandra, whose bi now i guess"

both of these look fine, but even if you think the masterpiece needs to be a 1 for 1 representation of the actual card (which i can understand), i don't understand how you would whine about the aftermath cards not making you go out of your way to read them

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:Right. The ability triggers on cycling being activated and put on the stack, and is thus put on the stack above it and resolves first. Whatever triggers off of cycling will resolve before cycling's own Draw A Card. i thought you could order cycle triggers anyway you wanted, like with that green card that gets a land from deck when cycled, you could draw the card before getting the land if you wanted now why you'd want to i don't know but hey options

You can pay for abilities after actually activating the abilities, so does that mean you can pay for Tinder Wall's ability with Tinder Wall itself?

bigperm posted:I went to Star City Games for the noon pre-release today. Have to say, the worlds biggest magic store was a bit of a let down. The place and the staff and everything was great but pulling up having never been... I was expecting a much bigger place. yeah lol, it's basically just a warehouse they put a wall thru the middle of. i think maybe they weren't expecting to be so popular or whatever did you get the experience of having yugioh players come in halfway through your games and being obnoxious, that was always fun when we played there

Lone Goat posted:I'm going to say it was 100% wrong to play and congrats on going undefeated with one of the 5 worst cards in the set in your deck. there is a distinct chance, very slim, before his latest post of course, that he had no better cards in his colors like i'm talking had 22 of the best W/R cards ever and then everything else was filler in BUG colors but he did have a better card, he even said so, but at the time, my statement was fine

also there's no real point to saying it's "100% wrong to play" cause, hey maybe dude just wanted to see if he could win with a bad card in his deck, some people have fun doing that, it's a pre-release so who cares really

is there even one close to as powerful as JTMS? like i guess lili of the vault is as ubiquitous in legacy, but i don't think she's even made it to vintage like jace did.

i couldn't read the card (but this time it's cause it's a bit too small, not neccesarily the font) and i assumed it was Kefnet Force is good, hell great even, but not quite as good a limited card, which I'm sure is made up for by it being worth a hundred billion dollars
