@antonio_hachi @SaffronOlive at worst you don't have an omniscience tier threat in hand, and it does nothing.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@coffee @Mengu09 the issue is it probably is the result of there being a judge call that lasted atleast 20 minutes, so they got a massive time extension. not necessarily the fault of a player.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@StanCifka @lsv @SaffronOlive once someone figures out how to get the deck building variety of magic that's enabled by having 5 different colours+lands, without using the lands system, I'll agree. Until then though, every other TCG has deckbuilding constraints that I personally find really ugly.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@Drempts @JReismo @SaffronOlive you know these tournaments are being played for large prizes worth a lot of real money right. ''I'm just trying to play a chill game'' doesn't really work when there's tens of thousands on the line, and cheaters are taking that away from legitimate competitors.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@LemorasCards would mind sculptor really have been that insane as a promo? card isn't all that playable anymore either but is still iconic(and decently priced so a promo should do quite well)

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@Arcanion84 @PancakeMisery @Tlgtpc95Ryan @BerringtonJyson @SaffronOlive You can put in a ton of effort to have your 8 mana do nothing sorcery somehow come together to give you a win. Or you can attack with your shitty 8 mana 6/6 flier twice. The sphinx is the better card, even though it's awful. it attacks people for damage.

@stoneforging @SaffronOlive ''I'm going to pivot to reselling power tools'' These are so obviously fake it's crazy. very funny though.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@dRIFTBOUNDtcg @jfwong This is *exactly* what they said about fighting games and 2XKO, just because league is huge, doesn't mean the league IP is a guaranteed success. Not to say riftbound won't do well for long, it's just not a good indicator.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@TheFallenStar22 @royceybrackets Cards that do not function in 60 card constructed should go in the commander set, it's what it's for. Previously your dud rares were either hilariously awful cards, or just hyper specific pieces that didn't have a use in that format. now its ''timmy's new tribal payoff'' #119

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@ElysMorbius @homo_sapian_2_0 @zeenohh Some of those characters definitely are, peterson, keemstar, h3h3, jontron, notch. There's plenty people without questionable views that followed them, especially at the time. Lauren Southern though? Stefan Molyneux, those two especially are just fully dedicated white nationalist

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@SaffronOlive It doesn't even need to be serialized. the foil RC and Pro Tour promos of Aerith and Cloud sell for thousands. And these aren't even particularly expensive cards from the base set. If they'd done the same with any bilbo/smaug it would be an excellent promo.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@Mengu09 @itsJulian23 they wouldn't get it otherwise

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@SaffronOlive Not seeing much useful interaction outside of the duress from rakdos. I imagine dragonstorm can comfortably wait until turn 4-5 to combo nearly every game. especially pre-board. I predict dragonstorm wins 3-1

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@SaffronOlive r/custommagic in 2012, but it's real.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@lsv almost feels like it's on purpose

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@Mengu09 @HanweirGarrison rapidly approaching a point where straight up FoW would be the only thing properly answering combo decks. and even then goryo's can just play it itself.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@SaffronOlive I think more ''random soldier with a gun'' or ''civilian running from villain'' wouldn't really save the theme of the set. There's just not a lot of unnamed characters in marvel that would even come close to fitting in a more standard magic world.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@ChookMFC @SaffronOlive This could just be a zendikar vampire or something, they could even reprint it without it being explicitly a star trek affiliated set. Similarly with cards like Badgermole Cub and Ravenous robots. Not so much with the 8th variant of raphael or spiderman. all to say i agree

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@XRG117 @SaffronOlive not giving the card back makes this quite a bit better than bats imo. Ofcourse you give them the card immediately, but the 2/2 lifelink is also way more relevant than the 1/1 lifelink flying.

[Stan @Arcbounded]

@HRpufnsting @SaffronOlive we already know UB draws in new players, most arguments against it aren't really about if it gets more players into magic or not. They're mostly concerned with the rapidly changing nature of the game people have grown to love over 25+ years.
