I guess we're doing this...Quote from WarMachinePrime »Let's stop feeding the obvious troll who comes into threads about a product meant for Two-Headed Giant when he's already going to hate it because he dislikes card games meant for children and Two-Headed Giant.
Again you have proven my point. Name calling doesn't ever improve your argument. I am trying to offer criticisms that obviously many don't want to hear. I've stated if you like the set that is fine. I know that many on the board can't have a civil discussion on certain topics. Yes its best to leave them alone.
As for artwork, I like the old artwork on many of the reprints. There I offered something I like.
Enjoy the set, enjoy the format, enjoy the artwork if its your thing. Its not mine, I will leave it at that and last post on it. Any more is unhealthy at this point.
So 'it is one of the worst sets ever printed.' is a statement attempting objective fact, but you framed it behind an 'I feel' to hide that by making it 'opinion.' Where a more honest person would say "I dislike this set" and a more honest person would have said "This set isn't meant for me." But your initial "I feel it is one of the worst sets ever printed." asks us to find out why, and when you present your reasons you act as if they are the only valid reasoning to apply, and not that these factors are why you might not be the intended audience.
I don't go around telling the My Little Pony fandom 'I feel this is one of the worst cartoons ever made. It's far too colorful and girly for my tastes.' because the opinion in there proves that the subject isn't for me. One of your key reasons for why you dislike this set is because it is for Two Headed Giant. Yet you don't state outright that this specifically means your opinion is of less interest to those that do like two headed giant, but might not like this set.
For instance, "Assist is an interesting idea but the design space clearly wasn't pushed making for a lackluster gameplay experience" would be a reason to dislike this set. Or 'some of the reprints had no business in this set for the draft environment' (note I don't believe this, but it's a good example of a critique that doesn't begin by hating on the concept as a whole.
Now then, the one everyone picked up on was your 'too SJW' (and, for that matter, your dislike of children both on the cards and touching the cards), which I'll merely add is a very odd complaint about pieces of cardboard. Pir is the only child on any piece of art yet you cling to that as one of the reasons worth mentioning (and you've been at it since Pir was spoiled). Diversity doesn't hurt you, unless the idea that people other than you is that offensive. Which is another item that isn't really on the set, and is more on you.
Basically, to those that didn't want to read all that. Your opinion is fine as long as you own that your opinion is not the end of everything, and is very much outside of the scope of who this is for. It'd be like complaining that there aren't enough Standard staples in the next Commander precon decks. If you weren't looking for a fight you could have summarized with.
"I do not like this set, but two headed giant just isn't for me. And nothing in this set's art or design resonates with me." That puts all the weight of your opinion on you and not on the quality of the set itself. -

My take on the Spellbook frame for Planeswalkers, with a nod to the old brown artifact frames.
This frame has no borrowed assets - the only art I didn't draw is Jason Chan's Karn.

ISBPathfinder posted a message on Deckbuilder / Deckviewer Bugs / FeedbackPosted in: Forum Software Feedback and Bug ReportsQuote from Lumovanis »It seems that the system does not treat snow-covered lands as basics for commander. I get the error message stating the deck is invalid at the time of saving because it does not treat the OG snow-covered swamps as basics. I'm not sure if it's all of them, and it may also extend to Relentless Rats/Shadowborn Apostles
I reported the snow lands. I think our tech Feyd can fix that himself so it should probably be fixed within a day assuming I am correct in that. Relentless Rats / Shadowborn are already allowed in any number (I just checked). -

willdice posted a message on Split Screen libraryPosted in: Magic RulingsQuote from Argus Panoptes »Quote from Lumovanis »With Split Screen can you set some of these libraries to be 0 cards?
It says "deal", not "divide". If your library has 3 or less cards when that ability resolves, you will inevitably end up with one or more empty libraries. Otherwise, they'll all start with at least one card.
You don't have to deal evenly. The libraries can have different sizes.
Mark Rosewater answered it at least twice on his tumblr:
"you can select the size of each library."
"you can put as many as you like in each library." -

Quote from Lumovanis »With Yet Another Aether Vortex does it affect all your libraries, or just one of your choice?
From the Unstable FAQAWASLFAQPAFTIDAWABIAJTBT: "Does Split Screen work with Yet Another Æther Vortex from Unhinged?
Yeah, baby! Any of the four revealed cards that are permanent cards will also be on the battlefield." - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Actually it is 6, it's just hard to see at a glance. On the left side, the 3 middle fingers are held together and on the other, one of them is bending behind the other (albeit in a strange manner).

Legendary Creature - Zombie Elf Wizard
X, Discard a card: Target player reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a creature of converted mana cost X or less. Put that card into the battlefield under your control and the owner shuffles the rest into their library. Activate this ability only if M'Odo is on the battlefield or in the command zone. If activated from the command zone, you lose 1 life for each card revealed by this ability.
0/3
There, a "fixed" version of this card. Still really strong though.

Lord Windgrace was a lord of Urborg (before the Phyrexians mucked it all up), he's definitely more on the black side. With his ties to the rest of the catfolk, Jund feels right. Outside of one particular card, he's never really been associated with white.

She's a storm commander, dropping cheap artifacts with cost reducers like Etherium Sculptor, Foundry Inspector and Jhoira's Familiar to do things like cast top for free and build storm count/draw into combos. She's just "durdly" and punishing when you aren't playing a dedicated control deck against her. Nothing like sitting there watching them cast their top for the fourteenth time as they draw and continue to dig for a card they actually need. She's as bad as Breya most of the time, though even more focused on her combos and with less interaction.
Sai at least could be a lot more direct than Jhoira with artifact loops creating a legion of thopters to kill with instead of drawing half a deck looking a random wincon. From a more casual standpoint, he would be less likely to get focused all game than Jhoira and Breya.
