Magic: the GAFering |OT2|
- Thread starter The Technomancer
- Start date
Glad I checked this thread then, I was just wondering if they were streaming it again this year.
Stream is live.
Game designer created cards in core set? That's pretty weird.
Edit: Ah, fits in with the whole community created card they've been running. Crazy they're willing to let so many in a core set be designed externally. Guess they get develop them and control the balance in the end anyways, though.

I LOLed when "Waste Not" showed up on the screen and the audience had to be told to clap
So true.
Gaffers here had better designs. The cmc is the one saving grace of that card.

Haha, that wave of gasps when they showed Athreos was great.

It bums me out so fiercely that Mogis sucked so bad.

Just like Thassa, It's going to annoy the shit out of me.

I like the art on this one. Someone else pointed out correctly that it would have made a lot more sense flavorwise if the Inspired trigger wasn't optional.

It seems like a ridiculously more abusable Gelatinous Genesis.
Also dat Stoneforge Mystic.
Is it not normally a one more thing kind of deal?

(JOU Hydra they're talking about):
They already said they're gonna show it at the Pro Tour instead for whatever reason.
That was the most toe the line response ever on that MTGO question. Granted, not sure what I expected, but they do need to serious ramp up their online presence because they are getting stomped by Hearthstone et al in usability there.
Missed this- when did they say it? Which PT? I'm out of the loop totally.

Oh I keep muting because I have a low cringe tolerance.

I don't quite understand what's wrong with MTGO. It works fine for me.

Man, for being a world eater, Polukranos was kind of a baby hydra.

Just doesn't feel? It doesn't feel?
Wizards online interface, running of their [online] business, prize pools, EVERYTHING is absolutely atrocious by modern standards. It is literally the worst or one of the worst things I have ever seen. I'm never returning to Magic Online. It is literally the worst investment of money on the planet.
Per rumblings on twitter, since he won't be standard/modern legal, they are pushing his power level. If true, I'm excited, it should be pretty easy for him to usurp Ral Zarek in Cube
If he won't be tournament legal, then what's the fucking point of printing a planeswalker?
Is this a serious question? Did you forget Legacy (and Vintage too)? Cards like Baleful Strix, Shardless Agent, True Name Nemesis, Toxic Deluge, Unexpectedly Absent all came in casual supplementary products but were developed for Legacy. This isn't a new thing in general for Magic, its a new thing for the Planeswalker card type though

Did they hint at that or something? I missed it.
I remember mentioning in this thread that I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
Kind of hard not for that not to be the takeaway from the Journey Into Nyx trailer: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=107870328
"True heroes never die." "Resign yourself to your glorious fate." Etc etc. But could easily be a fakeout, with it being so obvious.

Ah, I didn't catch that either. I made the remark back in February.

Just watched the trailer. Pretty sweet.

Well apparently the planeswalker in Conspiracy is non other than Dack Fayden:

He's a thief, right? I wonder if that will play out in one of his abilities.

Most of the changes on the M15 card frame don't bother me. But the more I look at it, the less I like the new font.
I don't like it, but I understand why it's looking so weird (it needs to be hard to replicate.)

Is counterfeiting actually a problem? I know its the logic behind the foil sticker on the rares and maybe the font change but I didn't know it was that big of an issue

You can get almost indistinguishable fakes from China now.
In sleeve, yes, but they're blatant otherwise.

Just did my first ever TPF draft. Such a strange format; I ended up with a pretty solid red/green beatdown/attrition deck with some suspend monsters, removal spells, and a crazy amount of card advantage (they printed Harmonize at uncommon!?). Lost in the finals to a pretty sweet rebels deck; my deck was capable of getting there, but I just never could quite draw the right stuff in time (and I got daggered at a key moment by Mana Tithe).
Seems like a pretty sweet format. Hopefully I can find enough time to do it once more before they rotate it out.

That's what I said about my Whip of Erebos-Giant Adephage deck too.

Noticed how it doesn't say "Choose TARGET creature". You'll be able to copy even the opponent's hexproof creatures. Be careful choosing legendary creatures though lol.
This is hilarious. Man, could they have picked a worse first card to show off Strive with? I was super down on it, but every card I've seen with it since then has been great.
