Incanur posted a message on The Least Awful Places in the MultiversePosted in: Magic GeneralQuote from opag78 »Ravnica is clearly modelled after our current world.
Well, it's clearly modeled after Planescape's Sigil. Sigil and Ravnica both of course draw heavily on our Earth, albeit with dystopian elements (especially in Sigil). These fantasy metropolises emphasize the worst aspects of industrial civilization: stifling bureaucracy, political corruption, intense economic inequality, vicious criminality, religious hypocrisy, environmental degradation, and so on. -

maplesmall posted a message on Best "enter the battlefield" creaturesCan't believe nobody's mentioned Siege Rhino yet. Broodmate Dragon is also pretty good; two for one. Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund is also fun.Posted in: Magic General
Just for reference, here's a list of all cards with ETB effects: blue, red, white, black, green and colourless. Also 2-colour and 3-colour cards (there are none with ETB effects and 4/5 colours). -

Saandro posted a message on Is it just me, or does Magic feel like it's in a strange place nowYes it is in quite a strange place indeed. Artwork is getting worse and worse. Flavor texts are either lame exposition trying to sound epic, or cringey one-line quips trying to be witty. And Wotc is strangely spending large amounts of time and attention on story and characters, despite them being so bad it would be better they wouldn't exist.Posted in: Magic General -

Horatio_Mills posted a message on Is it just me, or does Magic feel like it's in a strange place nowPosted in: Magic GeneralQuote from xfire008 »For several years now, I've increasingly come to view MTG as a marketing scam and the current state of the game does nothing to sway my opinion. The game is played in countless ways and I applaud the design of products tailored to different audiences, but as both a collector and player I've just had enough. The CCG approach to distribution was grudgingly acceptable while MTG was the undisputed king of card games, but the fact is that there are numerous expandable card games and board games out there that boast terrific design and game play at a much lower price: Android Netrunner, Game of Thrones LCG, Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn, Doomtown Reloaded, Lord of the Rings LCG, Star Wars LCG, X Wing Miniatures, etc. Any one of these cannot even remotely challenge MTG in its level of organized play, but collectively LCGs et al. are pulling players away from MTG and it's beginning to show. MTG clings to its outmoded distribution model because it can on the sheer brilliance of the product, but with each passing year players are seriously questioning whether better gaming value can be found elsewhere.
...
You took the words right out of my mouth. If it hadn't been for the genius of the great Dr. Richard Garfield, PhD then MTG IMO would've been long gone by now, like countless other CCGs that have come and gone in the last 20+ years. Dr. Richard Garfield, PhD laid such a solid foundation and got pretty much every fundamental of the game correct from the start - it would take a real catastrophe to screw it up. Rosewater and crew are nothing compared to Dr. Richard Garfield, PhD, and are simply riding the gravy train.
Very very few products could get away with what MTG has gotten away with. -

When buying and selling are controlled by the legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are the legislators.

Moot point but if the protection did function everywhere it still would not matter because Telemin Performance
does not try to Damage, Enchant/Equip/Fortify, Block, or Target Emrakul. You are targeting your opponent with Telemin.
