Wow, people are so hurt by this, basically the equivalent of 10 years old arguing over which is the better console. You remind me of the bullies which used to mock other kids because of their hobbies.
And it is going to be even more shocking when this products have a large success and you see new players coming with their UB cards.
When all is said and done this products will bring new players, hope they are engaged and get more in to magic, I am going to welcomed them because sharing a hobby is nice, looking forward to teach them about the 25 years of magic history.

SyrixLoremaster posted a message on Read this announcement at your own risk (it involves mtg)Posted in: The Rumor MillDo you mean the story of Urza, who becomes a Planeswalker and influences the path of Dominaria for centuries? Or the story of the Thran and the man who destroyed them in an attempt to become a Planeswalker himself and while not becoming a Planeswalker, did still have find ways to interact with other planes? Or the story of Jodah and Jaya, a world-traveller and a Planeswalker, respectively? Or the story of the Weatherlight and it's crew, as they use the ship to walk to other planes and deal with the threats that are approaching their own? Or the story of Jhoira, Teferi, and Karn, as they deal with an interplanar threat and eventually become planeswalkers in two of three cases? Or the story of Kamahl, who's dealing with the ramifications of an extra-planar object of intense power?
Like...I understand the frustration with the modern story, even if I don't fully agree with it. I just think the idea of "The story didn't used to have Planeswalkers as critical to the story" is maybe a bit misguided. The only stories I can think of that don't involve Planeswalkers, soon to be Planeswalkers, people who still travel between planes without being Planeswalkers, or dealing with the ramifications of a Planeswalker are like... original Ravnica and maybe Kamigawa.
Ravnica story was planeswalker-free (unless theres a tidbit that I missed in there somewhere) but Kamigawa had a character that could traverse planes. At the end of Saviors, Myojin of Night's Reach sends Toshiro Umezawa to Dominaria and blinds him in a Heliod-esque way (or should we say that Heliod was acting in a Myojin-esque way?) As payments for his services (might've been a punishment, Toshi was a shifty guy and I'm recalling the story from memory). Toshi's line would eventually bear Tetsuo Umezawa, the one guy credited with KILLING Nicol Bolas at Madara. Kamigawa, for those not in the know, was set WAY in the past. I dont know if it was ever said HOW far in the past but it does make me excited for that potential futuristic Kamigawa that was teased a little while back.
Anyways, just wanted to put in my two cents there.
As for this Universe Expanded, I'm always excited to see Magic move in new directions. I actually shared this info with a few coworkers that I would describe as "kitchen table players" that dont regularly follow Magic and they all expressed their interest to varying degrees. (Also as a part of that discussion I shared my acquisition of the Walking Dead Secret Lair and how it plays into the Universe Expanded with one such coworker and he was REALLY interested in those.)
This is the market that Wizards is targeting with this Universe Expanded. It was actually cool to see that someone that plays Magic peripherally and may not be up to date with what's going on in Magic would be able to pick up a Lord of the Rings pack on the shelf with the Magic logo and be excited. Or, for that matter, longtime LotR fans that see a booster pack and that is the gateway to them coming to play Magic.
Everyone on here seems to be harshing on Magic diversifying its product lineup to try to include new consumers. It really isnt about you. As Maro says, "not every product is meant for every player."
Oh and on the note of gatekeeping, I have a complete Silver Bordered EDH deck that prior to lockdown, I used to bring to my LGS and force into Commander games. I say force because by it's very nature, people immediately refuse to play with me because "I dont want to be forced to do the Hokey Pokey." This was an actual line dropped on me once and the sheer IGNORANCE of it left me speechless. But take my example and apply it to Johnny, LotR fanboy who has just built his first Magic deck and heard that this local comics and gaming store has people playing Magic, so he goes and takes his deck to play. But when he shows up to play, instead of maybe playing a game or two or if not willing to play against him offering a spare deck to play a couple games of Magic with him players instead give the above vehement rebuttal and oust him from the group "because Im.not playing with those cards" as I see SOOOO many people commenting, YOU are gatekeeping and YOU are part of the problem. -

From the Comprehensive Rules (November 20, 2020—Commander Legends):
701.27. Proliferate
701.27a To proliferate means to choose any number of permanents and/or players that have a counter, then give each one additional counter of each kind
that permanent or player already has.
It doesn't work, because when she's exiled she is not a permanent. -

bobthefunny posted a message on Weekly MTG first look at Kaldheim landscapeHey everyone, just a friendly reminder to keep things civil.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
Different people have different expectations of this set, and are allowed to have different emotions as to whether or not their expectations are being set. That's no reason to belittle anyone, or get angry that people have different expectations.
Spoilers are still very lacking in details, let's be a bit patient before decrying whether or not the set fulfills our fantasies...
===
I will say that I find the art on Lavaglide Pathway to be absolutely gorgeous. It reminds me a bit of Thawing Glaciers. Probably just because it's a glacier, but still.
Boulderloft Pathway's art is equally fascinating.
Shame that Glaciers is reserved. Would have been a sweet include in the set. -

I knew this plane was inevitably going to bring out the "uhm ackchually" Norse mythology geeks.Quote from ForgottenPlaneswalker »And to top that off you can clearly see from some they are also using Muspelheim (Translation: Wreck of the World. A world of fire and heat and chaos and fire giants) for how they are depicting certain aspects of Kaldheim in the unfortunate lens of this secret lair. There is also clear takes of Jotunheim (Giant Home), Asgard (Enclosure of the Aesir), Yggdrasil, and highly likely of Midgard (Middle Enclosure). In case you are wondering why that is an issue, this is the equivalent of smushing Serra's Realm, Phyrexia, Rath, Mercadia, Equilor, and Dominaria and saying they all on the same plane.
Just a reminder: They're not copying Norse mythology 1:1, they're drawing inspiration from it. So it's perfectly fine for them to smush things together.
As for the snow stuff: We've seen ten cards, out of which 8 aren't completely drenched in snow, and people are already making all these big statements how they're "let down" and Wizards "doesn't care." Fandom is a hellhole sometimes... -

WizardMN posted a message on Mirage mirror questionFirst, it doesn't target. I understand you are probably using "target" more colloquially but just to be sure...Posted in: Magic Rulings
And second, it doesn't matter which Resurgent they chose to copy. While generally copy effects only copy the base card, the exception is other copy effects. Since Mirror is a copy effect, Impersonator sees that copy effect and will copy whatever Mirror is a copy of. And the copy effect of the Impersonator is not bound by the time limit of the Mirror; it will remain a Resurgent even past the end of the turn. -

since the token will also have the ability so you can just keep going with atleast 3/3 or high (but bigger creatures makes more of them trigger.)

EDIT: wait i just solved it a combo doesn't need flicker Yenna, Redtooth Regent + Free enchantment sac outlet + mana producing creature that taps for atleast two mana = Infinite combats
(plus the naya fallout deck is capable of this.)

imagen putting colossus hammer + Embercleave on one creature swing with 3 with the exact same power only to find out the one with the equipment was a decoy and the real one was one of the other attackers

now its fixed so smothering tithe will be the best upgrade for that one unless it actually is a reprint

its the typical release notes on the rules for every new card.
....but look at the...Suspend section
so now suspend cards are optional to cast. but be warned its gone forever if you don't cast it.

in this one
and here’s a honorable mention they also reprinted the brand new Ugin's Mastery so this will not spike in price.
so that settles it I got a check list to do.

also WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!!!!
reanimate, Rise of the Dark realms, Necromancy, Phyrexian Metamorph, Doom Whisperer, Grave Titan, and Sphinx of the Second Sun, are all reprints
