Do you like magic the gathering /co/?

>>149147044 (OP)
I really wish they had just done a general Nick secret lair instead, like I like avatar but honestly if they came out with a Zim deck or Jimmy Neutron or FoP I'd be so down. Like Jimmy is the only conceivable way I'd ever play white.

>>149147044 (OP)
When is Cartoon Network getting a set?

>>149147044 (OP)
Magic is ebola covid cancer and aids

>>149147044 (OP)
Yes but not WotC.

Kind of, the Final Fantasy sets have given me a couple laughs

What does bending do?

>>149147314
we don't know yet, this was a super early teaser preview for a convention. There's two sets that need to release before we even get to Avatar

>>149147044 (OP)
I used to but I dropped it when it became funko pops

>>149147199
This. I love a lot of the older sets and I even like Bloomburrow because I have a soft spot for Redwall. However, I hate most of the new sets for being hipster lookimg garbage and the WAY too many crossover sets, with disgusting raceswapping to boot. I just stick to buying my cards secomd hand and trying to find people interested in older formats. Right now, im trying to fulfil a childhood dream lf building a sphyinx deck.

>>149147461
??
anon, funko pops aren't disliked because they have a bunch of IPs, they're disliked because they look bad.

>>149147472
>with disgusting raceswapping to boot
you know that was LotR's decision, not WotC's, right?

>>149147484
Both apply here

>>149147496
And that makes it better how? Also, they allowed it to happen, so they are just as culpable.

>>149147512
aang looks fine to me

>>149147512
This.

>>149147525
>Also, they allowed it to happen
that's not how licenses work, you idiot

I think the trajectory of mtg reflects the enshitification of society as a whole

>>149147538
bit dramatic innit?

Sad to see it become Fortnite

>Some characters may look different from previous depictions—and that's intentional. Great works of art like The Lord of the Rings are only enhanced by having multiple interpretations in the world. We believe ours will bring joy to many, many fans of both Magic and Tolkien. This fresh update was a conscious choice made in partnership between Wizards and MEE and was driven by two guiding principles:
Oh look at that, it looks like that's precisly how liscensings works. I'd tell you to clench but I wouldn't want you to decapitate yourself.

>>149147595
>you believed it

>>149147044 (OP)
The fortnight of TCGs.

>>149147607
Well its straight from the fags at MTG. When someone tells me they worked really hard to ruin something, you should take them at their word.

>>149147044 (OP)
Man, it's really sad how far MTG has fallen. I say this as someone watching from the sidelines, not truly into the game. Watching the grandfather of TCG's be bulldozed and renovated into a glorified billboard for corporations makes me feel for the MTG community.

>>149147628
i like it, it's fun
also, they're still doing own-ip sets
you and >>149147628 are overreacting

>>149147150
Warner is fucking retarded and to stupid to even consider it.

>>149147044 (OP)
How do they plan to do monoblack?

>>149148145
The Final Fantasy set did better than all the sets before it

Nah. Lorcana is better, and more /co/ related

>>149147044 (OP)
i used to

but then it was bought by wizards of the coast so it got even worse, on top of the power creep being just as bad as league of legends, just with cards instead of video gaming

wizards of the coast is a shit company that does things for soulless cash grabs and literally nothing else

>>149148647
Financial gain is not a barometer for quality.

>>149148655
Didn't say that anon, it's just that no one really cares as long as they find the game fun

>>149148616
Swamp bender?

>>149147422
Two sets? What's supposed to come after Edge Of Eternities?

>>149147044 (OP)
Yeah, it's fine. Play it pretty regularly. Really looking forward for it to fully commit to becoming western Weiss Schwarz.

>>149148675
Spider-Man
>>149148616
some spirits, mai, june

>>149147205
I get that they shouldn't be taken too seriously but aren't there common cards that can give a creature trample? Seems like an instant win right there.

>>149148728
it costs 7 mana and doesn't have haste

>>149148725
>Spider-Man
I keep forgetting about this one. With how Final Fantasy was originally schedule to come out at the end of 2024 I think I just assumed it would get pushed back as well.

>>149148728
Yes. It's very very easy to just take people out with it out of the blue.

Yes but I'm not really sure who this set is for. I don't think kids care about Avatar and I don't think enough adults have nostalgia for it.

>>149148728
Yeah. There's plenty of enchantments for creatures with 1 power. Just gotta get them off before the ability triggers

>>149148777
I don't think it's going to be Final Fantasy big, not Spider-Man big either, but Avatar is still pretty massive. The way I see it, a good chunk of the player base that Wizards is going for now a days has grown up with Avatar and they see it as a way to hook them. And along with them there's a good deal of people who came in during the move towards commander as the main format who know of the show.

>>149148777
>I don't think enough adults have nostalgia for it.
I don't think I agree. If you've been on /co/ long enough, you should know how obsessed people get over it.

>>149148777
I'd disagree.

For adults, the kids that grew up watching Avatar and loved it a lot are now in their 20s, with the upper end even hitting 30 nowadays. Ironically, it also helps that there's been a LOT of misfires when it came to trying to continue the franchise, so something that solely focuses on the original series has a bit more favor towards it.

For kids, pop culture has been cannibalizing itself for a while now. Even back in the day, kids were being influenced by adults saying that "so and so when *I* grew up is THE best thing ever" with complete and total certainty and aggression online, garnering a lot of interest and respect in kids for things they've never even interacted with. This has only gotten more prevalent as more and more people make spouting their butt-ass opinions in a faux-sophic manner their entire career. Not to mention, a lot of kids' entertainment is solely Youtube and commercial streaming services, where Avatar is one of the few good things on some services like Netflix, so for some, they get the commentary, for others, they've actually had a good chance of having actually watched it.

>>149148809
Yeah but that's /co/, not a broader general audience.
To the general public the last bit of Avatar media was the Netflix show which didn't do super well and it's been 10 years since Korra and even that was polarizing with fans.

>>149148834
you have a really odd misunderstanding about how people consume media
