If you buy any of this Spiderman MTG bullshit, you deserve to be killed. Full stop.
>b-b-b-but muh Raimi movies le based 00s nostalgia
I don't give a shit. You know what my nostalgia is? Mirrodin and Ravnica, even if they were dogshit sets mechanically, Magic still had its own flavor back then. Even with the cancer of nu-Magic starting after original innistrad, or arguably with Zendikar, it was still fantasy. The fact that we have normalized universes beyond bullshit, is part of why conservatism always loses. You need to be a fuckin reactionary. You need to fight back against this shit. Not only is Universes Beyond not okay, you need to be actively shaming people who mention it. I have joined the Discord channel of every FLGS within 50 miles to shame people who talk about Universes Beyond shit. And when they ban me, it's as simple as using ProtonVPN and another account to rejoin.
>"bro why are you taking a child's card game so seriously lol get a life"
I have a life. And I also like Magic the Gathering. Also, calling something a children's card game, for the sake of ironic detachment, when you still play it yourself, is not an argument, and also pathetic.
>bro I don't even play the game I just come here to shitpost
Yeah. So you used to play the game. Before WotC ruined it for you, and you did NOTHING to fight back. Yes, it sucks that fighting back against this involves hurting FLGS sales. But it simply has to be done. You NEED to keep these people out of the community as much as possible. But you won't, because you're a lazy fuck. You people deserve Spiderman and all these tranny faggot UB mashup sets. I don't, because I actually did something about it.

so... yeah, about SNC - people just happened to have a bit of Magic fatigue after buying and playing the overtly successful top 3 best selling Neon Dynasty set, and didn't exactly care to rush out and buy the very next set 2 months later, thus, it didn't sell quite as much.

Now, based off this ((data)) we're just going to infer that nobody likes New Capenna and thus we're just never going back there! Ever! Sorry goy! I don't care if it was just a market timing quirk! The ((bottom line)) says we just can't risk it! So go on an enjoy your next UB set, ok?

Based. I caved for Bloomburrow but that was because I wanted to make that set as successful as possible to teach WotC they CAN make money off of an experimental fantasy set that isn't techslop.
>As if he's ever gonna read that shit
If 300 people were sending the same copypasta it would make it harder for him to find the actual questions he wants. I used to have a blog like him with inboxing where I got like 20 questions a week and if I had to sift through endless walls of copypasta to get to them it would have made it way more frustrating, esp if I was on the clock and a busy design executive.
Alternatively, his twitter replies. Should never be peaceful. Ever.
>You're engaging. This is a mistake. You think negative engagement somehow hurts them, but it's another person showing up for game night and that's a win for WotC.
This is where I don't agree. Disengage? Okay, they have 200 million dollars worth of Final Fantasy buyers coming in to replace you. Maybe they don't actually play, but if they do, you need to punish them. Make a mono-U turbo counterspell deck and lock them out of the game. Don't buy any new product, that is all that matters here. If you want to stop buying MTG entirely, that's fine too, but buying old cards doesn't really help WotC a huge amount esp if they're cheap ones.
>You didn't even advocate using proxies or counterfeits.
I do advocate using proxies or counterfeits, but I failed to mention it, my bad. That is a risk, however, because it could lead to you losing your DCI number forever, which would suck if this game actually becomes good someday. For casual commander nights? Go for it but be careful.
>Give more examples.
Shame any friends buying any new WotC slop.
Local influencers who support that slop? Make sure to shame them for it.
I fully support bringing any and all 2014-era tactics to bear here.
All that matters is staying within the law, and avoiding bans from FLGS and DCI.

You finish your prepared speech and sit in silence, staring at the camera as you find yourself doing too often these days. You reach into your jacket and grab the flask again. The camera is rolling, but fuck it. You can just edit it out later. Edit out the constant drinks like you always do. You get the odd comment about a jump cut, but you know that you've established yourself well enough that negative opinions will be shouted down by your "fans". Oh, the fans. How you've grown to detest them. Sure, the $5,000 check from YouTube ads and the $15,000 check from Patreon is nice, but nothing fills that slow, gaping hole in your chest from selling out. They even fired you from teaching, thanks to that bitch reporting your "inappropriate touching". She was asking for it anyway. You realize that you've been gulping from the flask throughout your inner rant, and that the flask is now long empty. You lower your arm and gaze longingly at the bottom drawer of your desk. A smile tugs at your lips as you consider your next video: "Many Magic the Gathering players ask the question, is pulling the trigger as easy as it sounds?"

The Professor's content has become so fucking shit after all of it became scripted by someone else and he just churns the same fucking videos on repeat. At least back a long time ago he had some passion in what he did and criticized wotc for all the shit they did.
Now his critique is just a bunch of whining of an old man who knows everything is burning around him, but he just can't stop consuming the slop. None of the shit he says anymore are his own opinions, he is just reading off a script, so why would people take anything he says seriously anymore especially when he isn't doing what he preached back when he still had some integrity?

Also the episode where he invited three black dudes was funny as fuck because he was so uncomfortable around them, yet had to pander to show that he likes black people after someone on Twitter called him out for not having black guests on the show.

Prophecy gave has some of the best art in the game. Avacyn Restored has the highest box EV of all post-8ed mainline sets. Dragon's Maze .... yeah it was shit but the limited was acceptable.
Homelands had truly kino flavor and story, so it has at least something going for it.

I've generally found people are a lot happier when their hobbies don't become their jobs, not necessarily because it makes the hobby feel like a job, or that doing a job more suited to their values makes them feel more fulfilled in life, but because real world changes and company changes can often result in the hobby becoming something you didn't originally fall in love with.

Even if he enjoyed Edge of Eternities and Final Fantasy limited, you can tell most of his enjoyment for the game comes from the Magic system itself and not really from anything WotC has printed for constructed in the past 5+ years. The game has left him behind and he doesn't seem to want to admit that the game did that to him, because he still like the game itself, even if the game pieces don't appeal to him anymore.

As someone who defended the Final Fantasy set fiercely.. It's not a good set. The cards don't look clever, inventive, or fun. It doesn't look cohesive, or anything close to meshed with Magic: the Gathering's mechanics as Final Fantasy was. Like, I don't get why Tifa and Zell are landfall based all of a sudden, but I can shrug and say whatever about it, at least they're both the punchy warriors and they work together to throw big punches. What IS the power of Spider-Man? There is no "Spider-Man thing". Sometimes he's got Flying, sometimes he's got Reach, sometimes he's got Vigilance, sometimes he draws you cards because you put stun counters on things? It's just random.
There's no vision to it. There's the barest feel of Spider tribal, but even that is confused. Your Spider tribal commander deck is now gonna have a guy in spandex commanding Shelob and a bunch of changelings around. The whole set is ugly.
To top it all off, Spider-Man just isn't as iconic as Marvel or Wizards believes. I know of Spider-Man. I know he swings around New York fighting crime. I know there's a Green Goblin and Venom involved. But pretty much everything stops there. I do not have the slightest idea what Mister Negative's deal is, or why the fuck there's a "Spider-Mobile" when the guy is supposed to get around with webs as like his entire deal. Who is this made for? Why did they dig so deep into wikis? Everyone in the FF set was a pretty meaningful character, they even ran out of room for meaningful characters and had to leave some by the wayside.

If there was pauper in 2004, you would have to play against affinity then too. Not only that, Affinity was already infecting legacy too. Nosewater's ideas constantly ruin the game. And lets not forget that Nosewater is the only reason the tinker/welder deck exists.

Not being ran as often in affinity as you think. Grixis Affinity can run into color problems too much so 2 colorless makes more sense than u+1. On top of that, if you're running one of the sac to draw 2 cards and using the wellspring as sac fuel, it's just wellspring that requires blue. It makes more sense to run it in something like flickertron or affinity without black and hence without the excess of sac engines.

Well, getting somebody who loves the property in charge of the set probably helps, and it honestly seems like not many people besides MaRo are REALLY into Spider-Man or comics in general at WotC, and he was too busy leading the next Marvel set or something.

Again, that's just the top of the top. Decks spread out at the lower level because that's where people test stupid shit. But Vivi obliterates every other deck, so as you rise up toward 1st place its saturation within the meta appears to be higher.

It's an illusion of statistics. The deck that wins the most appears to have a higher meta share than it really does, since it appears most often in places you look at (The top16/top8 cutoffs)

They're a violently expansionist and authoritarian regime that abandoned their old values in the name of power and conquest. Like, they were explicitly prosperous before they went to war with the other nations, but they decided it wasn't enough and they wanted to rule the world. That is 100% black by the color pie.

I have not given Wizards of the Coast a single cent of real moneydollars in my entire life. The game is fun, but MTG's OCs are just as shitty as any UB set.

I've started calling UB cards magic 2. kinda like some people use the term yugioh 2 for new cards. it's a small circle but I think it could catch wind as a passive aggressive meme

I love how Richard is allowed to shit on MtG as much as he wants but Seth doesn't follow suit, ever? What is the disconnect there? If your boss is shitting on something then you are ok to as well...

Imagine in 3 years of this fucking slop what could become of MTG, this year world championship already will be wild considering considering we will have maybe not Vivi but Yuna, Sephirot, Cloud, Tifa, Peter Porker, Venom, India-Spider-Man, Prince Zuko, Aang, Sooka… And that without taking in consideration the shit meme cards like Overkill, City Pigeon, Rent is a Due, Cabbage Merchant…

His response is basically someone that was mindbroken and is trying to cope with how bad the game has become. It's basically Joker mentality where he felt like his pleas went unheard so now he's trying to draw attention to the issue by causing problems with it.
