Because she has massive rat honkers bro.

Doesn't seem massive, honestly. Espechially by furry standarts. Plus, rats are not that popular of a species amongst furries, generally. They prefer to base their shit on cats, dogs, wolves, lions and dragons, creatures that don't spend most of their time rummaging through garbage, as far as they're portrayed in the media. And mtg has those, espechially anthropomorfic cats/lions. It puzzles me because it is atypical for furries.
 
I was gonna start playing magic and I just yoinked a box of about 1000 from a friend of mine of random cards. Made a god awful 30 dollar eldrazi green deck. Thought about asking kiwi farms for advice, then was hit with nearly 20 years old and 4 years recent history of fuckery. History literally a little older then me.

Thanks for the enlightenment I guess. Even if the game is misbalanced to shit, at least the art work is kinda swag.

I'm not an expert on furries I just know she has big titties and the artwork isn't bad. It's no earthbind level fap but I can see how a teenage furry would get their rocks off to it.

If you're playing casually and have friends that play casually you'll never experience 99.9% of the issues with the game as long as you don't go looking for them. MTG is a really fun game, I sold all my cards off pretty recently and I just borrow decks from friends if I'm going to play now. As an ex-competitive player I couldn't be happier. If you're looking into getting good at the game and learning how to play competitive magic, I'd recommend giving pauper a try, it's cheap as shit and a lot of fun.


I feel like the more invested in the game you get, the more disgruntled you get when wotc does shit you don't like (fucking up format balance, putting black people on cards, whatever the issue) as long as you don't overthink it you'll have a blast.

Thank you for this! I like stuff even despite their issues (stares at having played professional Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments).
 
Seb McKinnon is one of the few artists that Wizards of the Coast contracts with that has any talent whatsoever. Most other card artists these days are bargain basement contractors that have no style or artistic vision.

However, there is a problem. Seb appears to have a soft spot for the Ottawa Hoonkers, and has doubled down on this support in recent days. Since r/magicTCG is filled with pearl clutching soy golems, there is much discussion about whether or not card art man believes in white genocide.

We start strong with a Jannie sticky stating that you will call the Hoonkers alt-right and you will not talk about the vaxx. More context: barrinmw is a massive fucking neurodivergent that combs through every card spoiler and "reviews" its playability in modern. He used to be the board's most downvoted poster, and he is now an agenda Jannie

Collected Sneed from the thread:

> I have walked to Parliament, I have walked around the streets nearby and for the most part, yes, the protesters are not disruptive. But I have also been verbally assaulted while walking my dog for wearing a mask.

VERBALLY ASSAULTED

> I have not left my bubble, and am surprised by the backlash because in it everyone agrees.

> Its so infurating to me that people like him can just say "ok thats enough honking for today, time to go sleep in my comfy hotel" while residents can't "call it a day", we live here.

> I think you're right, but I also think this take leaves out something important, which is that not everyone has to be a Nazi for Nazis to come into power.

Remember to ethically consoom magic cards or you're responsible for the next drunpf/Hitler


Absolutely hysterical redittor nonsense

There are so so many WALL OF TEXT comments in this thread where reddit soys cry about being hoonked awake and nazreeeees. There was only so far I could get before my vision started to darken.
 
Hello everyone, I am cross-posting from the Bardfinn thread with a request for help. I have a question regarding this post from a Reddit moderator called /u/TeiaRabishu who is very active in the MTG community on Reddit, and claims to have been involved in some kind of drama that supposedly everyone in these communities already knows about.

Here is the Reddit post where this person mentions the MTG drama they were involved in:

Personal anecdote time, since I'm a big fish in a small pond (albeit without much Internet presence beyond that pond, if you're wondering "who is this person, exactly?" but it's a state of being I'm quite fine with). I've fucked up in my time in the Magic community (I won't elaborate on it because, let's face it, everyone who cares that much about MTG Salvation drama is familiar with it already). I've done things that took a ton of time to repent.

Does anyone here perhaps know this person or know which drama they are referring to? If you know please point me to any resources.

TLDR; this person is now the only senior moderator on the controversial subreddit /r/antiwork. She effectively allowed a group of online vigilantes to come into her subreddit, and stage a powergrab, while she banned all the other moderators. Hence why I am interesting this her backstory on Reddit.

I've never been a fan of anything he's done other than growth spiral, but I admit he's good at what he does.

Before the main forum community for mtg was on reddit it was on mtgsalvation forums. This is what you're looking for I think. From what it looks like they were a very active user.

Accusations against Michael David Lynch, who is on I Hate Your Deck, have recently come to light again.

And here is Lynch's explanation about the incident. I can't seem to upload photos right now, for some reason.

Screenshot 2022-03-15 172641.jpg

And even though the details about the accusations are very gray territory, the cancel crusade is already at work to remove Lynch. The other ironic part about this, is that Lynch himself advocated for the cancel crusade to sick on Seb McKinnon, for showing up at the Canadian Trucker Fests. It's another case of "what goes around, comes around".

The mods on the MagicTCG subreddit even added the word "Lynch" to their auto-filter, which is a petty act. I do wonder what else is on their auto-filter...

I wonder if this is revenge for Lynch parting ways with black neto. Did anyone else follow that dust up?
 

Cross-posting from reddit's retarded retirement residence because I'm lazy and someone already did all the work for me.

Apparently some 3/10 ethot with stick legs and arms went to SCG Indy dressed like a lot lizard and her dad found out. Reading their Twitter exchanges, I'm not sure whether to laugh or feel empty and hollow inside.

Them motherfuckers at Reddit should know how to screenshot, maybe a fucking Russian can teach them that after he bombs one of their shitty camps.
 
So, I've just learned, that the biggest MTG subreddit is having a reddit moment right now. From what I've gathered, one of the mods banned some content creator for mentioning proxy cards. Redditors did not took it kindly and now are rising up, getting auto-banned for saying "proxy" or euphemisms for it, and rising up again, like Fucking Slaves from that Van Darkholme vid, but reddit and pathetic. Mod in question goes by u/kodemage
One funny thing is that this guy decided to come into some fringe mtg sub and argue with people there too.

I'd like to archive, but I don't know what. There's too much stuff. Original thread is 17 hours old already and, obviously, locked. I was late. You may find it here. Also, browsing the profile of the mentioned mod should yeld some findings.

There's some more info about this guy in the reddit General thread.

Here's some more tibits on info, in regards to the u/kodemage drama:

An article about the Proxy ban drama. (Archive)

1649125052049.png

u/kodemage was removed from the magicTCG modding team, and someone else that was previously a mod, replaced him.

1649125276705.png 1649125296910.png

He is also a hypocrite, which is not surprising, given he gives off vibes of the "I'm right, you're wrong" ideal that woke people have.

1649125017658.png

His IRL is not surprising at all.

1649124980760.png

He also locked down his Twitter, in the typical damage control routine.

He even proceeded to get himself into a slapfight on r/freemagic, making him look even dumber.

I always assume the whitepages addresses for these people are wrong and its not worth the time (for me at least) to find a correct address for some fat reddit mod.

reading through his comments on reddit gives that vibe for sure. I don't care to look further into this guy, it isn't his irl stuff that's interesting imo it's acting like a sperg about proxied magic cards then doubling down on it. If anything we should congratulate him on making the MTG reddits seethe.
1649136302090.png

From my understanding their mod team was like, four people (archive) and the rest were inactive. They have 1.3k active right now as I type this and 513k total subs. That seems like a lot of sweeping per janny, I can understand why they would set up a filter for something like this, but the real answer would be to get more staff. Otherwise you have exactly this sort user revolt situation.

Going down that rabbit hole lead to finding this absolute gem of intersectionality.
