Un sets are horrible, but I do respect one deck my buddy made that forced you to either concede or drive to the store to buy him a drink.

Maybe Unstable will be the only place to get Pro Tour Player Cards.

WarEternal posted:So what are the chances of this new MTG game announcement coming in September being them finally making their digital offering not-garbage? I've been wanting to play some Magic again since forever, but I can't really make time for paper and dislike MTGO. It's going to suck. There has never been a good Magic digital product. Even gatherer's comment section has been broken for 5+ years. Anyone remember the official deck builder/life counter for your phone that would crash and not save any of your changes if you got a call while using it?

I started MTGO again, and in my very first sealed tournament, I accidentally figured out that you can add basic lands to your deck and send them all to your sideboard. So your entire sealed deck is a 5 color deck of your choosing between rounds. Is this known? It has to be.

Quad sleeving seems like it opens up for a lot of cheating with all of the ways you can slightly manipulate orientation and such.

Entropic posted:Since Banisher Priest they've moved away from the "two separate triggers" templating model in favour of "until" which puts things back where they came from when the condition ends. Mostly to avoid having to explain how the stack works to new players when someone pulls the "blink my o-ring in response to the ETB trigger" trick. Ok. That makes sense. I had a faceless butcher deck back in the day that pulled the same trick, and the rules debate was a pain. I've been playing magic since before and after the template change, but I never had reason to notice it until today.

evilweasel posted:there's a difference between not knowing how the rules work, and not knowing they changed the card type to something it doesn't say, just to make the current set appeal slightly more to edh players for a short period of time Exactly. Any player who isn't paying attention to the Ixalan release isn't going to know these changes. Someone even taking half a year off of the game might have an incredibly annoying game interaction because of this.

JerryLee posted:I can't put my finger on it, but the more I see of Ixalan, the more it seems like a bygone era of magic in regards to art and card design (in a good way). Maybe it's because the swashbuckling pirate aesthetic reminds me of the Weatherlight or Mercadia; maybe it's because the treasure theme feels like a funny gimmick along the lines of homarids and thrulls, only done well. In any case, it's been a while since I've felt this way. I kind of feel the same way, and I think it's because every other card doesn't have "graveyard" or "exile" on it. Like it's a "battlefield matters" set.

I'd have to assume there is some type of crafting in the game. Otherwise, people won't buy packs after they've opened a certain number because the duplicates will be useless. I doubt you'll be able to pick the card you craft into, but there has to be some way to make sure you don't end up with useless cards.

Good. It's a terrible, clunky rule. I wish they wouldn't errata cards though. Just print new burn spells that say "Target player or planeswalker."

# ¿ Sep 8, 2017 18:00 |

evilweasel posted:its not hard to remember that any burn spell printed before 2018 that says "opponent" means "opponent or planeswalker" It kind of is. If we're looking at a future where a burn spell that says "Deal 3 damage to target player." then we are looking at a future where they have opened design space by being able to create burn cards that only target players without targeting planeswalkers. We should not have to look up the year a card was printed to distinguish the difference. Best to leave Lava Axe targeting only players and printing Lava Axe 2 that targets players or planeswalkers.

evilweasel posted:yeah but since every card has a year printed on it, knowing the date of the change makes it as easy as it can be So you want a card that says this: "Deal 3 damage to target player. This spell may not target a planeswalker." Rinkles posted:If there's an unwritten rule to never print cards that only target a player (not PW), I don't think it would be that big a deal. I think part of the point of this is to open design space so that they can print cards that only target a player. The Human Crouton fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Sep 8, 2017 |

Rinkles posted:I don't think so. It's to eliminate a clunky, esoteric rule. I do hate the rule, and have always thought it was very poorly implemented. I don't see a reason for changing it though unless they are going to do something with the change. Changing it for the sake of changing it doesn't make anyone's life easier at this point.

# ¿ Sep 8, 2017 18:30 |

Wouldn't "any target" mean you can cast the card at anything even if the effect wouldn't do anything? So if I wanted to bolt a land just because I wanted to cast bolt for some reason, I could. It just wouldn't do anything.
