lol everything about historic in that announcement is so dumb. It's going to be expensive, randomly have unknown cards plopped into it disputing the meta, and the ranked queue will only be around for limited periods of time. They are literally trying to make this as bad as possible.

Cactrot posted:It all depends on what lands get introduced, checklands could be absolutely useless if something better ends up in the format. And the great thing is better lands could be introduced at literally any time! You'll never know if you will suddenly need to upgrade your land base at twice the cost, or if your entire deck will become useless! But don't worry because you won't even be about to play ranked most of the time anyway!

rkajdi posted:Well, yeah. Wizards doesn't really see much money from modern either (mh 1 being an exception) so it doesn't surprise me that we're going to see some sort of tax on playing historic so that they still see pack sales from it. It's just being done in the shittiest possible way. They would still have seen pack sales because packs are the only way to get wildcards anyway! There is no shop to buy singles from, historic players have to crack packs like everyone else.

ilmucche posted:Are 2-3 colour decks a huge problem compared to monocolour decks? I thought it had more to do with shuffling. I think a single land being able to generate potentially 3 or more colors is always going to be problematic. Another issue with fetches is that they make all of the other dual lands that lack a basic type so bad. Check lands, fast lands, etc are so much worse than shocks and duals in a format with fetches. Edit: the thing that I think shows fetches are busted is that they show up in mono colored decks sometimes for the utility factors.

ilmucche posted:I think we're saying the same thing from different sides. Fetch + shock lets multicolour decks run smoothly. Anything 5c is going to run vials or caverns anyway, why is making jund viable a bad thing? Without the fetch + shock combo wouldn't Tron just dominate everyone? I don’t think anyone is advocating removing fetch lands from existing formats, too much other stuff is balanced around them. It’s just they are creating a new format and it would be better not to include design mistakes like fetch lands or Tron in it.

GoutPatrol posted:Looking at what they published in the 5-0s there was more Batterskull and fire and ice. You have the removal lottery with war and peace, sinew and steel, and light and shadow. There isn't a dominant enough color in modern to get it right every time, especially when there are many colorless decks as well. The 5-0s aren't a good source for this. If someone 5-0d with a similar deck with a different equipment package it wouldn't show up.

Sickening posted:M20 has more cards with shuffling than khans. War of the spark does as well. Shuffling in paper isn’t going away. Just make a format where every deck doesn’t want to include 8 fetches and everyone wins. What would make people not want to pay fetches? The only thing that really punishes are stifle and can't search the library effects. They are even resistant to non basic hate since you can fetch your basics in response

You can't just pick a job and say whether it's a present, there is a social context to consider. Eldraine with it's emphasis on knights and kings is a different social milleau than Innistrad or other planes. That said the queen of bears is clearly a noble, get your poo poo together WotC.

I don't think vintage style restricted lists, but I think an FFG style list of you can only have one of these cards could work, though at the cost of bookkeeping.

Panzeh posted:It creates a bunch of non games as one-landers will often just fold to wasteland. When you keep a really greedy hand sometimes you get punished, and when I've been on the receiving end I've never felt it was unfair since I kept the greedy hand. As compared to your opponent cast blood moon on turn one and literally never being able to cast a spell which just feels out of my control. W6 letting people recur it so easily is a problem, but since standard doesn't have W6 I legitimately think it would be better off with wasteland.

The thing that really amazes me is how few plansewalkers from before WAR see any Modern or Legacy play now. It's pretty much big Karn, JTMS, and Ugin? For a permanent type that has existed for 12 years now I think there has been some clear powercreep.

Toshimo posted:Ignoring your weird Chinese apologia, at the time, the team registered itself as Team Taiwan, and Wizards forced them to change it to remain in the event. So, yes, it was a controversy, and no, the Taiwanese aren't stoked about the whole thing. I'm sorry I phrased that poorly. The Chinese Taipei issue isn't free from controversy, but it is the name that Taiwan agreed to go by for international competitions. My second point of the something good was in reference to LSTs protest and Wizards handling of it so far, which at the present I think WotC has done a good job with. That wasn't clear in my first post, for which I apologise.

Legacy has a lot better reason to exist then modern or vintage. There is always going to be a demand for a format where every set is legal that doesn't cost $40 Grand. The important thing to remember is right now magic is growing. If legacy, vintage, and modern stay the exact sizes they are now they'll gradually become less and less important, but might never go away.
