Ugh…bastardizing the game once more. The only thing that looks like magic is the Kev Walker set.
this and many other reasons is why I stopped playing MTG.
I could grudginly accept Aragorn, but virtually ALL the human characters are swapped.
We are lucky that the Wizards, Tom Bombadil, and part of the hobbits were left alone.
totally agree. I hate that mindset that we have to shut up and be called racists if we complain about such a disrespectful treatment of source material. I’m glad this issue went public into the mainstream.
I really want to be excited for this but I'm at the point where there is too much going on and I can't keep up.
I've got severe depression, severe anxiety, and almost double the lowest threshold for someone with PTSD, my mental bandwidth is exhausted. I mean it looks like a cool set for those who are invested in some way, but I'm out for now. Enjoy folks!
I feel you man. I’ve endured a lot of depression and the least that you want is to be overloaded with info when trying to enjoy the favorite game that it once was.
The part of me that's been shaking my head at the racists complaining about Aragorn finds it very amusing that his solo card is every color in the game except black.
Because everyone that disagrees with a particular corporate’s team decision is a racist. This novel was based on mythology. Therefore the only racists are the ones that want to change the origins to please other people from an unrelated background.
Outside the US people are boiling over these some decisions.
Well there's no need for it since Eldraine is just Lorwyn but better. /s
Eldraine is basic AF. Nothing that plane offers is something new. Boring plane with mainstream overdone crap.
lorwyn OTOH, exotic, majestic, original.
A work of art.
As a casual modern player, can I ask you what changed in 2019 exactly that make you so upset?
Disrespectful cashgrabbing powercreep?…
Powercreep happens all the time in Magic, it's a physiological process of every TCG honestly. This answer is not very informative. Can you be a bit more specific on what cards and/or decks your not happy with, specifically?
How long have you been playing Modern?
Since inception, but nowadays I just play it online on cockatrice. But why you are avoiding answering my question?
I straight up avoided the question since a casual player would not really understand the type of toxic play patterns that power creep enables.
You would think twice about asking such questions after you know what it feels like to get hit by a ragavan that flips a thoughtseize while you’re on the draw.
The format is either you humiliate your opponent or your get crushed. Hostility is ubiquitous and creativity gets punished.
Just 2019 by itself showed up with everyone’s friends: Hogaak, Neoform, Urza, Yawgmoth , Wrenn and Six, Ephemerate, colossus hammer, Oko, Karn the great creator, Mystic Sanctuary, Once Upon a time, Emry, Veil of Summer…
That plus hostile easy hate like T3feri, Collector Ouphe and Plague Engineer took unfair to another level.
I don’t want to be in a format that abuses everyone’s emotional endurance just to make a company profit.
This was a format where Bloodbraid Elf, Ancestral vision and bitter blossom were banned. Even Splinter Twin and Birthing Pod are a joke comparing to what’s legal.
Nothing to see here. Modern keeps being the garbage format since 2019.
