So my experience with MtG is largely having a premade deck in high school because there weren’t enough Yugioh players at the comic shop, and then like four instances where a girl I was hanging out with, or her roommates, was into it; but if feels like Commander has totally overtaken normal play in the casual crowd.
Kain being a card gets passed around by players. Wakka racism manifesting in blowing up artifacts. Alisae and Alphinaud being partners. Lyse being useless. Zenos and his 1v1 boner. All those and more are so flavorful that i feel bad that i havent felt this excitement towards main MTG sets. Maybe Lorwyn will change that.
Commander is proxy friendly, the only make precons for commander, it's a more casual format, it's multiplayer, and you can tailor your desired level of competitiveness if you have a dedicated group.
If they would put the care and effort they do in real sets and the lore that they put into this we would all have that level of hype for regular magic
Commander doesn’t rotate sets, right? Set rotation was Magic’s major defense from power creep. To compare, Yugioh’s defense was abject incompetence from day one. Hasbro has also clearly replaced the decision makers with people who, even if they didn’t hate the game, lack the ability to understand the game mechanics they are releasing.
The big problem that causes power creep is the amount of cards printed these days, even with zero power creep larger card pools will inherently end up with stronger decks.
Personally I'm looking forward to using Kuja to make Shadow Wizard Money Gang a deck
Current standard decks could beat older modern decks at this point. Standard is a rotating format and modern isn't.
Kuja as a card has more flavor to it than the entirety of Aetherdrift
I honestly thought he would look gayer, but on a gameplay note is it better to flip him fast or do you want to accrue more ping wizards first?
Flip asap because putting Monsterous Rage on his backside is a 14 damage trample
Slickshot is also a wizard
Bro thats a cool idea that ill probably steal. Ive never played with Wizards tribal in the game so it will be interesting to nuke them with the tokens. Also an excuse to order Shadow Wizard Money Gang tokens.
I looked this up and, even if it’s full of illiterates and blacks, Yugioh never had this gay shit to my knowledge.
MtG Vivi is adorable, and his ability reminds me of him swaying in place with sparkles as he costs his magic. Excellent art in this set. Aerith is selling a flower, just like when we first meet her, but also incorporates her death with an ability, and another with her at her peak like her later limit breaks. Aerith bonded with Lifestream would be a great card. Tifa and Cait Sith look great too. No idea why SOLDIER Military Program is white. I'd think Mako showering and Genova cell therapy should be red/blue and green respectively.
And he has an upgraded version of Kujas black mages.
Well alot of the problem in Modern when it comes to the power of the format is that...Fatal Push is a stupid fucking card that cuts out any low drops that don't give instant value or are recursive in some way.
I think you want more then the one or two you'd get in a normal game before he'd flip normally. I'm not sure how many token doublers you can find in rakdos but you can at least get some red temp clones. At least you can get damage doublers/additions but they are somewhat crippled because your wizards are black and not red so you can't use the red matters ones. I think the deck is probably going to look more like a rakdos storm deck in the end.
