what creature type you wish got more support?

>>96226942 (OP)
seal and walrus!

why do mtgtop8 and mtggoldfish have different meta numbers? Who is more reliable?

>>96226975
MTGTop8 has data from all paper tournaments that get submitted and has a limited selection of results from MTGO events. MTGGoldfish publishes lists from very few paper tournaments but has a full range of decklists from MTGO events up to the maximum info WotC permits to be published. Last year there was a period where ALL deck data was made available by Daybreak, and Wizards didn't like that so they froze decklist publishing for about a week then when it started again it had greatly reduced numbers. Not every 5-0 gets published and any placement lower than 32 for a challenge also doesn't get published. Preliminaries also don't get published anymore.

Your answer, bro?

>>96227007
Is there a big difference between mtgo and paper metagame? I'd imagine an eggs like deck would be played less online since you can't shortcut.

We need MORE variants of the same card

I'm sure this won't lead to any kind of confusion

>>96227023
I flick your rock like 10 times then pass priority, maybe shock your elf to draw out the counter hoping you only have one, depends what I got in hand

>>96227023
I cast this on turn 2 and watch you concede

>>96226942 (OP)
>>TQ
>what creature type you wish got more support?
Hellions, those worms looks funny

Kona + Any station land + Omniscience = New turn 4 Omniscience combo.

Currently diamond on Arena with it but someone better could reach higher imo.

>>96227321
how many station lands do you need to run to make it consistent? I'm already out of wildcards after crafting strip mine and ancient tomb

>>96227321
Turn fou-

>>96227333
I think you'd want 4 green ones minimum, but probably 2-4 of your 2nd color which is almost certainly blue
In the first 10 cards its only 53/68/79% with 4/6/8 copies. If you cast a stock up and see 16 cards total, you'd have 72/86/93% with 4/6/8 copies.

I think 6 planets if the other ~18 lands in your deck enter untapped. Get too many planets and those taplands start to really hurt

Fifth draft and I finally got a 3-0. I love this set. Wizards knocked it out of the park just in time for me to hibernate for the rest of the year with all the UB slop.

>>96227654
luffy is a commie, I do not respect him

>>96227654
Brilliant choice to improve the turbo fog matchup

>>96227654
whats the thought process
there are two reasons I could see in pauper, either you think you're facing a lot of mill decks (?) or you wind up decking yourself with mass card draw and need the buffer to win games more reliably

Now I don't think the former applies at all. Afaik the only mill decks in pauper are infinite combos like high tide right?

>>96227670
On top of high tide there's also fogs decks that mill you out but that's irrelevant, I'm assuming he's playing 80 cards right now (ever since EoE came out and he has gotten a tons of 5-0 with that list already) because there's no reason not to, with 8x and + of ichor wellspring effects + and 9+ disputes you are still going to draw your whole deck, so no need to compromise on your build when you can quite literally just jam every OP card affinity has in pauper.

>>96227670
The thought process is might as well not have to choose which cards to run since the deck has so much draw and it gets to deal damage while drawing thanks to black mage's rod

>>96227654
why aren't you making money playing Pauper on MTGO all day?
why aren't I?

>>96227750
Because I don't live in a favela and the money from playing pauper is not that impressive here.

I'm starting to believe some Br is dating anon crush

all of my losses this run are to the same BR sorcery that gains control of all of my creatures to instakill me
that is not an okay effect for limited

>>96227951
It's ok for reddit upvotes and ebin commander moments and that's all that matters

>>96227959
they should have at least made it a mythic so I'd never have to lose back to back games where it's the only card in the set that could beat me

>the Warp haste black 2 drop can be replayed over and over again unless exiled.
Oh so we’re skipping Magic and going right into Pendulum Yugioh now

>>96227973
oh look
3 games in a row losing to the game gigabomb effect on turn 7
this is really funny WotC, really fucking funny
drafted a great deck too. didn't mean shit.

>>96227565
They're just different epithets Spidey's had. Spectacular doesn't tend to get used as much anymore, they've narrowed them down a bit (Peter is now more exclusively Amazing, Miles is Ultimate, that's often how they differentiate the two).

>>96227982
>>96227982

It has never been more over. Fuck. This is the only stone in SPM meaning we are in for 2+ years of more Marvel junk.

>>96228002
this just goes into every single black deck with creatures as a 1-of since there is no downside
great job wotc

>>96228002
>lived long enough to watch Magic become this shit
JOTC really lurked for years in CCG threads and said “fuck it, we are the cringe custom card makers now”

>>96228026
has the irencrag gone in every deck?
90% of games it will just be a mana rock that can tap the same turn you play it

>>96228041
>has the irencrag gone in every deck?
are we comparing a mind stone that doesn't even draw a card to an indestructible charcoal diamond that reanimates a creature every turn as long as you take a turn off exiling a random creature? this card will singlehandedly win games that go late

>>96228059
did you read his second sentence?

>>96228041
>2 mana, comes in untapped so you can double spell on turn 2
>indestructible so it is protected against collateral damage from sweepers, incidental hate
>100% upside late-game payoff, even if decks that are not built to abuse it

They absolutely tailor-made this thing to be played. Primarily by EDH players, yes - but you will see this shit in other formats too. What an obnoxious card. And you can look forward to more of them, too!

>>96228067
did you read his first sentence?

>>96228002
Good old wizards, always 5 years behind the times. We just got the amogus card, in the next 5 years we're getting the horse girl racing set. But not before we get the 6 other mahvel sets with the remaining soulstones.

>>96228059
It doesn't reanimate creature every turn until you jump through the insane hoop of having EIGHT mana on board AND exiling a creature you control AND surviving to your untap step just to replace one creature at a time
You can get a FREE 7 mana virtue of persistence stapled to your -3/-3 removal spell with gain 2 life

The irencrag actually has a relevant ability, it becomes an equipment that only costs 3 to equip, and unlike the soulstone it doesn't need to tap for both sides so it can pay for its own equip cost

>>96228002
I wanted to make a joke about using the Soul Stone to sacrifice Gollum to bring back Sephiroth and then equipping him with a baseball bat, but it just depressed me instead.

>>96228002
...So is Infinity Stone another Time Lord situation, or are Infinity and Stone separate types. Maro's gone on record saying he thinks Time Lord was a mistake but it's not his call to make I guess.

>>96228101
>having EIGHT mana
>The irencrag actually has a relevant ability
>so it can pay for its own equip cost
you're trolling me right

>>96228129
Who gives a literal shit about anything Maro says anymore? He has also gone on record that they would never reprint anything on the reserved list even with different backs / treatments. He defends companion as a mechanic.

Anyone who is giving him any credence at all in 2025 is beyond the pale.

>>96227023
>>96227321
>>96227336
Ah yes. Abuelo's Awakening, a white card that had been in standard for well over a year before Foundations, is proven to never have been the problem. It was always Omniscience which was the problem.

Whenever JotC bans a white cards it is ALWAYS the case that a non-white card is the real problem or it is an arbitrary ban because there is jewish over-representation in their design team.
>Felidar Unicorn
The problem was a BLUE/RED PLANEWALKER CARD
>crusade
>cleanse
>jihad
Jotc banned these in Legacy because they are white cards. Not because they are overpowered or gamebreaking.

Any example of a white card ban is because it's used in some combo with a NON-WHITE card and the white card is ALWAYS replaced by some other card while the problem in the format remains unbanned.

>>96226942 (OP)
I will not purchase a single Spiderman card, I will never play with one either. If I win a Spiderman card, I will rip it

>>96228147
I've activated the irencrag in a lot of decks, its actually really handy if you draw a second copy and now you can use them both for value instead of being locked out by the legend rule.
Making Yuna into a 6/8 lifelink is absolutely fine and relevant, and it can tap for mana, then turn into an equipment, then equip all on same turn

The Soul Stone needs you to hit 8 fucking mana on board to do anything besides being a mana rock. You need 7 lands + soul stone. And sac a creature. And you don't get sac benefits, no death triggers or recursion, its fucking exiled. You can then reanimate shit, but NOT the one you exiled. And only after surviving to another upkeep while tapped out. And only one at a time, so the first one might just replace the creature you lost.
There was a point where wizards correctly identified that Debtor's Knell is such a shit card and unusable in 90% of games that you can actually give it to someone as a free card draw and it doesn't really mean anything

>>96228002
It really should have been the Reality Stone. Not even for a legitimate reason; but just so they could have done the MvC meme of Web Ball/Reality Stone

>>96228172

>>96228238
I mean, they will eventually. M30 proved it. Personally I don't think they should be beholden to the RL at all, I was just stating that you can't listen to a single thing Maro says as it will flip flop as soon as the company decides it will do it.

>>96228260
who the fuck cares about pioneer at this point its UB slop just like every other format

>>96228260
Anon, it's 2025, Pioneer does not exist.

>>96228262
Technically m30's not even tournament legal. They have a completely different back. It would be like making an oversized black lotus. Not tournament legal. It's an overpriced proxy just like the gold bordered cards.

Pretty sure the first one is lifted directly from one of the comics. Or it's a comic artist at least.

I absolutely can’t stand Rhystic Studies. Some of the most pompous and all sizzle no steak videos I think I’ve ever watched in my life. Both the Dan Dan and 100 Ornithopters videos are just him shamelessly mooching off of far more inventive and creative people and contributing absolutely nothing to the insight or discussion of the phenomenon of fan formats. Even his lore videos are just pompous shit. I refuse to believe he was wowed by the completely banal flavor text of pic rel no matter how much he pretends to be. He’s the content creator equivalent of pouring cheap liquor in a fancy bottle, or those yuppie restaurants that bring out the steak in a briefcase with strobes and rave music. All just so he can line his pockets with that sweet sweet cardkingdom promo

EDH is ever growing.

Had my first fuck up draft, 2-3. Left pack 1 with 2 biomechan engineers so I thought that would be my lane but I saw fuck all in green, my blue was acceptable but nothing special, ended with some slow low removal low card advantage Sultai deck and I got run over by decks with 2 drops and the last game for that card that makes slivers.

>>96228759
you didnt gatekeep

Cosmo and Wanda, I wish WotC never designed cards with EDH in mind

>>96228799
Best we can do is an EDH focused Fairly Odd Parents UB set.

>>96228311
exorcise is fucking awesome, love that card

The idea of the marvel stones looks like something that probably hits hard with its target audience. The elemental crystals from Final Fantasy, now that was shit.

>>96228798
The gate was always wide open and welcoming. But the powers that be decided that they will make money if there's no gate at all.

>>96228899
What statement this might be?

could they do waframe UB? there's less than a 100 of them and I think FIN had over 100 legendaries not counting commander decks

EOE draft is a lot worse than FF. It's very unbalanced, Green is way better than everything else. Black is also good

The statement of "black people", apparently.

Miles is such a pushed shit character, for over a decade marvel pretended BLADE didn't exist because they lost the right to make movies to lions gate

Yup! Only 2 formats are represented, Old School and Premodern.

>>96229138
>Leyline
Free spell bullshit. Fake White.

Anyone know some creatures that deal extra damage when they hit a player? Not because of double strike or +X pump effects, just straight up "when this damages a player, they take X damage"

>>96229179
>formats that have three or more vowels
nonwhite formats

>>96229110
I could see tragic trajectory and cryogen relic being passable here but man does it feel like the ratios are off between bounce and etb, and no loops whatsoever unlike the old talent + town combo
spending mana on stock ups slows your loop down and its not like you can use it to dig for a big splashy spell like control or combo decks do
without stock ups there aren't anything but 3 trajectories to find with talent so it NEEDS instant/sorceries
but then you've got this awkward mix of

>10 self-bounce effects
>15 etb triggers of which 5 have no board impact just map/draw
>11 spells that don't fill either role

so won't be hard to have a hand where you have 2 etb triggers, 1 bounce, 2 spells. You get a single extra etb trigger cast, otherwise you're just playing on-rate effects

>>96229179
Because premodern and old school are both pre nu slop and thus actually good wholesome pro-white magic.
YUUUUUP!

>>96229199
Cryogen is actually not great is the real truth nuke.

>>96229199
>etb triggers
Fake white.

>>96229185
Several creatures have the 'player lose half their life' clause

Unstoppable Slasher is a 3 turn clock, it hits for 11, 6 and 3 damage and getting even 1 hit in usually means the game is over

>>96228798
The onus shouldn’t be on players to “gatekeep.” This has always been a retarded argument. The only effective way that individuals generally “gatekeep” is by being immensely rude or offputting to outsiders (already an organic trait of most people at an LGS). What would trying to “gatekeep” something like magic at the individual level even look like in practice? Are you pulling Machiavellian stunts to ensure that anyone in a 30 mile radius who you find personally annoying never gets into magic? Even if you pulled that off wizards is gonna keep trying to appeal to them anyway.

Enters triggers.

>>96229231
Perfect example thanks. Wouldn't the extra damage trigger after damage is dealt? So 9, then 4

>>96229185
The ring tempts you level 4 I think does that.

>>96229239
You figure out your own mix of interaction, protection, draw, I'd probably go for more uthros less evendo because lost in the maze needs 2 blue pips

You could for example just have a 1-of Sagu Wildling or Veloheart Bike and use them to gain infinite life. Or use 1-of overlord to burn opponent out. Or just not use any finisher except bounce all their stuff and stuff your hand with counterspells
I optimized for actually setting a 99.99% reliable winning game state in as few loops as possible
This can still potentially lose to a giant hexproof/ward threat, or emblem, or being milled to 0 cards this turn and can't untap, or they topdeck the one instant speed sweeper in the format

>>96229242
idk man, allies kinda suck so there's a lot of pressure on the bending cards being not shit

>>96229253
Yes, but add the +2 from its hit
opponents life total goes

Oh right yeah

>spiderman is universe's within on arena
>we are saved from le marvel slop

>>96229361
Yeah, like I said. Keep fingers crossed that it's kino and people proxy the fuck out of their paper marvel shit with in universe equivalents.
Only good can come out of this, if it happens.

>>96228002
now the question is...
will they drop all the stones + gauntlet in the Spiderman set

or are we in for the long haul

>>96229393
That's for the future. For the Avengers UB that wll come.

>>96229393
the implication that they're doing more marvel sets means there will also be more fuckery with arena and mtgo releases. they actually thought it would be a good idea to go through this clusterfuck not once, but several times.

>>96228002
>>96229345

>>96229560
well it’s nice to have a safe haven… kinda excited to see what they come up with for the alt flavor, prob gonna be very jank and underfunded

can someone give me the qrd for the Wanderer?
seemed like it was being built up for a long time but I didnt really care enough to read about it.

>>96229776
>can someone give me the qrd for the Wanderer?
Literal who that did some stuff. Who cards, story's shit.

>>96229824
There was supposed to be some big reveal or something idk

>>96229837
>There was supposed to be some big reveal or something idk
Something or other. Who fucking cares, it would have sucked like the rest everything to do with MTG.

>>96229853
I dont disagree
but I also want to know

>>96229776
She's the ruler of Kamigawa, which has some sort of tradition that they can't reveal their name or some bullshit. Her gimmick is that her spark was damaged or something like that, so instead of focusing to planeswalk she had to focus in order to not planeswalk randomly. Hence why she's called the wanderer. They tried healing her with some chip thing in nuKamigawa, but the phyrexians got it instead and used it to compleat planeswalkers. That's it, she didn't do much. Now she's not even a planeswalker, like all the other literal whos.

>>96229776
She's from Kamigawa of the future. She was warping between planes because her spark was unstable.
People though she's gonna be Emrakul for a while.

>>96229895
wow lol

that's a nice board you have there...

I usually use scryfall to look for cards but I noticed you can't really find what drops secret lairs come from easily? am I retarded?
sometimes I'd like to see how bad things can get

>>96229776
Wanderer: "Tamiyo this macguffin is important don't lose it!"
Tamiyo: "I'm going to chase after Jin- Ahhh!!! Oh no he's raping me and got the macguffin I was holding onto!!! How could this happen when I did everything right?"
Wanderer: "Your punishment is death."
Tamiyo: "No please! I might be Jin's rapeslave but if you wait a few more sets all the compleated characters will get better!"
Wanderer: "Yes, but this story needs a character death in the middle so we can pretend there were real stakes. Don't worry, we're still gonna milk you on cards for several years even though you're dead lol."

>>96229964
Brother your ctrl+f?

>>96229967
a daring synthesis.

>>96229985
I want to be able to search for the sets without having to know whats in them, ya know, like the point of searching. theres like 1000 secret lairs at this point its getting hard to navigate
Also I didnt know the text on the image itself is searchable thats pretty neat.

>>96230002
https://scryfall.com/sets/sld
?

>>96229060
I was considered playing this set on arena if the universes within was good enough, but honestly, at this point, with all the cringe cards I've seen, the universes within variant has no fucking chance.

It could have worked for something like Avatar, but this set is beyond saving. It goes beyond UB slop. This is UB slop + hat set times 30

>control still dogshit after rotation
Fine fine, ill play Bx goodstuff pile, it basically is control anyway but better draw, aggression, sustain, etc

>>96230011
wow a list of 1000 secret lairs with no reasonable way to navigate them.

>>96230030
control is now a pure distilled deck with jidoor, rupture and only 2x riverchurn monuments so it can be absolutely fucking dedicated to hard control

its GREAT

Enchantments have:

>sagas
>flip sagas that turn into creatures or other way around
>rooms
>more I'm probably forgetting

Artifacts have:

Are enchantments simply the better card type?

>>96230342
No, please share it.

>>96230472
Mods pls don’t hit me
(I don’t have the earlier compleation with breast expansion saved sadly)
On the same note does anyone remember when 4 draw days drew Thalia talking about fucking griselbrand just to mess with Thalia fag before he went normie and all of MTG Twitter learned about him

>>96228521
Pichelli is great and drew amazing shota for the first arc of Miles run in Ult, but her faces look weird at times.

I actually can't cope with how Marvel cringe is being added to this legendary game. I don't think I ever had a problem with any sets before, even FF fit the theming well enough, but I can't get over fucking superhero shit.

What's next, are they gonna do a Beyonce and celebrity set with Oprah planeswalkers? Has there ever been an idea so cringe and such a left turn from its original concept than fucking Spider-man in this game?

>>96230501
FF was pretty lame too, they could have went for the illustrated style of art associated with the series but instead just went for generic animeslop

>>96230449
>affinity
>artifact lands
>sacrifice staple mechanics (treasure, blood, food, lander, map)
>easier, more accessible mana costs (also makes it necessary to make them less powerful since they fit in literally any deck)

That being said, all my decks are mainly enchantment decks and I understand they are the superior card type. Most colors can't even respond to enchantments and if they do they are terrible cost/benefit cards that rarely people will want to slot into their decks.

I don't really feel like Final Fantasy was any better to be quite honest. D&D would have been acceptable if they had put some effort in to distinguish it from regular Magic, but they didn't. It would ALL be tolerable if they were kept out of standard so there was a TRVE and HONEST way to play Magic without seeing crossover slop.

At the time they didn't actually have any real ideas for who the Wanderer was beyond "cool wandering swordswoman". By Neon Dynasty they settled on her being Kamigawa's emperor, though an absentee one due to her issue with planeswalking. That's really it.

Is too late. Peter Porker will be in the game forever, Guy in a Chair will be in the game forever, Aunt May will be in the game forever.

There is no comeback.

>>96231333
then according to me was garbage. what now?

>>96231340
Yes but the difference is I have good taste and you have shit taste.

>>96231347
my taste>your taste
considering you like eoe i think i win.

>>96231365
Nah I'm nta I'm just chiming in without knowing any context.

>>96228002
WotC had said that two-mana-tap-for-one rocks like Mindstone were too powerful, and they were moving to rocks with that cost and effect that also come into play tapped, like Ebony Fly, or that cost three and had some fringe benefit, like Cursed Mirror.
But I guess they decided the Infinity Stones just really had to be pushed

Numbers are in and EOE is the fastest selling set after FIN

>>96231394
its been legal and nobody plays it
You actually get retards who look at it and insist your creature 'loses all abilities' because they misread it and don't understand how it works because they've never seen it used
that's how great mind stones are right now

What does NTA mean

>>96231409
not that anon
not that asshole

>>96230628
AFR is so quaint in retrospect.

>>96231406
The stone is infinitely better than this in black decks desu. Invincibility is highly relevant.

>>96231424
The only shit that ever actually hits your 2 mana rocks is sweepers like lockdown, starcage, ultima, ruinous rampage
nobody will bother targeting it with removal and if they did half the cards exile it

>>96231406
I play it in pioneer eldrazi.

>>96231144
there is... another

>>96231406
I can't even begin to explain to you why producing coloured mana is infinitely more powerful than colourless - and that is just the first of many differences between the two.

>>96231396
Seriously? Now we just have to make Spooderman and Fagatar sets flop and this game will still have hope.

>>96231590
>drafting on MTGO
why

>>96228002
Every day blue becomes more and more of a hero that the game needs but isn't willing to accept as WotC keeps printing shit with Ward/Indestructible.

>>96231641
What else am I gonna do? Draft on arena?

>>96231660
Yeah, it has player drafts now. Nobody plays draft or standard formats on mtgo anymore.

>>96231667
It's had player drafts for years. I'm just not gonna pay real money or grind dailies to play fucking draft.
I also pulled tezzeret in the sealed pod on MTGO and immediately sold him for a profit which you can't do on arena. Unfortunately they jacked up the set redemption price like crazy so there's not really a profit for higher commander demand on paper anymore. I remember making a pretty penny redeeming NEO sets.

>>96231667
>or standard formats on mtgo anymore
not sure if you're just being hyperbolic here, where do you think challenge data comes from?

>>96231784
we were almost there, this would've been so fucking kino at instant speed

>>96231792

Got a lot of mileage out of picrel when that stupid creativity combo was dominating pioneer. I kept telling people it could only exist because of the glaring lack of instant speed exiles common in the meta. Literally silver bullet the entire combo for 2.

Is Edge of Eternites a flop or not?

>>96231866
Who cares.

>Spiderman set has an Infinity Stone
>Which means more Marvel slop is in the works
I'm hoping and praying to God the Spiderman set flops because if it's a big success, it's fucking over.

>>96231759
>>96231848
Sorcery speed

>>96231866
it's alright

>>96231869
>Which means more Marvel slop is in the works
they said it way back in 2023, there are multiple marvel sets in the pipeline, we have at least another 3 or 4 sets to go

>>96231868
Me, I want shit not Magic or Fantasy to bomb.

>>96231881
Don't invest your ego in things that don't matter.
Laugh at it, but don't get invested.

>>96231881
In a more just world we'd be getting a discworld UB instead of marvel slop but then people who don't actually read fantasy books would realize that Ravnica is just an unfunny clone of Ankh-Morpork

>>96231870
Not like instant speed is going to matter for a mana rock.

>>96231865
What combo? What were you exiling?

>>96231866
It's doing 'very well', according to Maro, but that's a nebulous thing. He's usually not liable to outright lie about how well a set is selling though, rather he'll just say it's 'meeting expectations' if it's not doing great.

>>96231879
Then I hope all of them become a fucking failure.

By the by, confirmation that Infinity and Stone are separate types, not another two-word one. Probably gonna have something like the Infinity Gauntlet being an Infinity Equipment. Stone will probably show up precisely nowhere else.

>>96231942
Infinity Mountain Dew please

>>96231942
Infinity Time Lord Stone

>>96231895
The deck used creativity to cheese out Xenagos and Worldspine Wurm for an all but guaranteed lethal combat. The only reason this even worked was that at the time nobody was running instant speed exile in pioneer.

>>96231942
Stone seems more likely to show up with other Artifact types
Clue Stone as a callback to cluestones.
Blood Stone for a hematite.
Food Stone for the folktale about cooking a delicious soup with a single stone.
Treasure Stone makes sense.
Powerstone Stone fore the memes.

it will be a lame "if you control 6 activated stones + the gauntlet, you win "

>>96233276
You already know that's what the gauntlet will be.
If they're feeling extra spicy it will tutor them, or even more epic, not require them to be activated.

>>96236330
Infinity Stones, even if they're more strictly stuck in Cosmic-level Marvel shit, do tend to be broadly 'involved' in other Marvel areas. Admittedly Spidey's not had too many close interactions with them outside of the big events involving them, but it's more likely being done to spread them around the multiple Marvel sets (at an unclear ratio, possibly 1 for SPM and then 2 for the next and 3 for the last, if there's just three, but who knows).

>>96236317
Yes.
