It's incredibly annoying that you can't look at a card from a set anymore and easily know what formats it'll be legal in Do the commander decks have different set symbols or anything? I definitely can't imagine them putting brainstorm into modern, but it would be really funny if they did

Tom Clancy is Dead posted:I survived my hill. I was listening to a podcast yesterday where Jake Beardsley was talking about how he likes Cornucopia in the Spelunking slots in Domain because gaining four life when you land Atraxa insulates you so much against the aggressive decks that run removal like Convoke and UBx. All that discourse and the card ended up being fine!!!

the guy who posted the picture of kappa cannoneer said "it was just on my desk, I didn't open it in the MH3 packs" so he was just trolling. Probably same with the Brainstorm without visible set symbol or set code.

Especially with Gavin putting a video out saying Cannoneer being powerful enough for non-commander formats was a serious mistake.

Weird Pumpkin posted:It's incredibly annoying that you can't look at a card from a set anymore and easily know what formats it'll be legal in Pokemon has a nice feature where cards are marked with a letter in their bottom left, so instead of saying "standard is these 20 sets" they can say "Standard is EFG. After rotation it will be FGH." Now, mtg has the additional caveat that old printings of cards can be played in standard, so it wouldn't be as simple as this, but it would be nice to be able to tell, for the most part, what formats a card is legal in by looking at it. And, the system could easily be adapted to accomodate nonrotating formats. A for vintage/legacy/commander, B for modern, then maybe leave a bunch of space so they can have direct to pioneer or whatever else they think up, and start standard at AA.

Cool they made a blood token commander that is payoff that can play only 21 of the 39 extant blood token cards. Why isn't this red? Wotc has to know bloodtithe harvester is the best one, it's been x4 in every standard deck since VOW.

You can play older printings in pokemon too, but only if the printed text is pretty much the same as the printed text of the current version. (Contrast that with Magic, where it's totally fine to play copies of cards where the printed text is misleading or outright absent, and it's up to your opponent to ask a judge what the card actually does if they're not aware of the specifics of every single card in the format)

fadam posted:I think the inclusion of shuffle was a typo originally, I don't think the card ever functioned in tournament play the way it says. Yeah, but this isn't like, a creature having the wrong power/toughness, or hostage taker looping itself infinitely. Like it wouldn't be super broken if WotC was like, "you know what fine it shuffles now". either way you're probably not seeing the cards you didn't take in the next few draws. Idk, it seems like this way people can use the original printing to shuffle and be all like "how was I supposed to know?" Like with other functional erata, you look at it and go "wait that doesn't seem right" like the izzet split card that permanently swaps power and toughness as printed so you'd call a judge for that, but old cards are weird so having you put them on the bottom and then shuffle isn't that weird.

 Grist is being reprinted in the "Commander" series of Modern. LMAO god drat WOTC is so dumb. I think this tops last years, "This is a Masters set, which historically has only been reprints.. but this year... new cards in a Masters set!!!!"   Don't worry, this isn't coming to Modern even though its in the Modern Horizons 3. It's actually Modern Horizon 3's Commander Set.

Nothing means anything anymore. Increasingly my favorite thing about Arena is not needing to keep up with legality stuff. I just find out on launch day which set logos turn up in packs. The knock-on effect is I've basically stopped even looking at previews. Round about the 10th card that looked like a lot of fun but wasn't a real card for one reason or another, I just gave up.

I was reading a thing about how balatro was programmed and why games with "rule bending" mechanics are so hard to code (basically you have to check how the new mechanic interacts with every previously existing rule bending mechanic before it, so the game logic complexity scales quadratically) and it's honestly impressive that arena (and on the flip side, mtgo) has been able to keep up with all the new set releases without keeling over and breaking horribly I don't really play other tcgs but have they had weird game breaking issues with their digital clients?

I might be inclined to agree that it's silly that Modern Horizons 3 is getting commander decks, but not modern decks. But now that they are doing it, it isn't hard to figure out. Because it's the exact same as every other set: There are commander decks, they have new cards that are for Commander and not for the format(s) of the main set.
