thespaceinvader posted:Have we heard if any of the standard-legal jumpstart cards will count as part of the set they came from? I.e. if I find a fifth Brash Taunter (or whatever I don't know what's in Jumpstart) will it just be in my collection, or will I get dupe protection?

Also for those interested in being spoiled on decklists, and the general breakdown of the set, https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Jumpstart has a good amount of information. Has the replacement list further down as well. Bear in mind some themes have a higher rate of getting 2 rares. All the walker themes have with 2 rares I believe. Even if you don't want to be spoiled you might consider looking up which ones are mythic or rare.

Rumor was they don't think they'll look any good on mobile or something so they moved to lower effort animations and/or everything else. I like the Drana one, though. Captain Invictus posted:also we all know the animations in the game are pretty loving dire at times, but I haven't seen anything quite as trash garbage as Moraug's animation, where it's literally just his head and horns from the card cut out and wiggled a bit to signify ~he's here~

Billy Gnosis posted:I was going to say I thought most of the pause is backend and mtga servers are just making GBS threads the bed lately If you played ranked then play unranked again, it'll sometimes bug out so you can see the rank animation again (while you're playing unranked, to be clear), then you're allowed to click through at the normal pace. Then there's the server contact message. I've never had it happen in ranked queues but if it happens there then maybe there's multiple bugs. They broke the game in a pretty great way back in the Zendikar patch and can't seem to find a fix.

flatluigi posted:they absolutely shouldn't remove regular brawl and there's no reason to do so Though they really should ban out cards banned in given formats and axe commanders more often. Historic Brawl should just be rid of the stupid 5 color commanders and whatever other repetitive elements stuck around. Like Kinnan.

Big props, Fadam, for running that contest. I'm not entering since I kinda fall asleep thinking about this set for constructed. I'm excited to play and open it but "is this into rogues, gruul, temur or rakdos?" and ... I just... kinda need a coffee... But it's cool you're getting it started, could be really interesting to look at predictions over the long term. Mat Cauthon posted:My only desired feature at this point is a default land setting. I'm not a computer toucher by trade so I have no idea how hard that would be to implement but it's easily a quality of life feature that would be immensely more useful than chat functionality or the mobile client or whatever. Arena's coding trajectory out of the beta isn't mtgo level embarrassing (losing features every year is hard to top, though) but it's still kind of amazing it prints money and they don't seem to want to hire anyone new or really keep the program improving.

Captain Invictus posted:also, the store says daily card designs are x% off, but is there even a way to buy the card styles at normal price or is it entirely, 100% bullshit designed to sucker people? Because I would probably buy the godzilla card styles if there's even an option for it at full price, I want my proper shin godzilla yidaro. Not sure you can pick up the godzilla ones and I can't check. They don't unlock them immediately, but I think they eventually do unlock most or all.

I think that's a timed thing. Like, Eldraine storybook unlocked after a certain number of months or so? That reminds me, there's no cosmetic rewards for event entry for Kaldheim and we'd know by now, right? Kaldheim has probably my favorite styles so far.

No, the duress he's referring to is in game. Though it is the one guessed. You're just not allowed to buy it. I'd probably go with sad boat guy duress if I ever played it. Maybe rakdos will be good this season and it's all aboard~

Time posted:Historic is the best constructed format magic has at the moment. It’s good and more fun than pioneer ever was I don't think anything negative of Historic but it's hard to draw conclusions as to what their goal is in the short-term when contemplating what an anthology will add. There is obviously some intent behind it, given they selectively removed and added cards to the three sets added over the fall/winter, but I can't really make out a sense of logic. It just seems like "I think they're neat!" was the criteria.

GrandpaPants posted:Yeah that's pretty cool from a flavor perspective. What gives the Amonkhet and Theros gods their indestructibility? And then there are gods like Ilharg and the bug gods from Amonkhet that just come back. The bug gods are corrupted Gods from amonkhet's past who are resurrected through Bolas manipulating the connection to Amonkhet's spooky weird world soul. Which I think Nissa said isn't dead, or maybe it's a zombie. Zombie world soul. Cool? I think this will come up when we go back to Amonkhet, which I assume is after we've been back to ravnica and zendikar another six times. The Eternal Gods are supposed to be special through how they were resurrected or... Something? I don't remember the lore. Big pig god is big pig, get on board or get boar'd, I got nothing. Also the Kaldheim gods have morrowind style god-powers by drinking god-juice pressed from the world tree. It may or may not be implied through binding the old god / roots of wisdom's flavor text that this god-juice is extracted from the Einir, the old Elvish gods, who are now stuck in trees. Tyrite shafts may or may not be involved, but tyrite seems to be something to do with "cosmos monsters" from the one flavor text. I wonder what we're gonna do when we finally get to the Rome plane. Maybe the vampires ate them.

The Klowner posted:According to this, Tyrite is the sap from the World Tree, which the World Tree goddess Esika harvests and transforms using a secret process to form Cosmos Elixir. Not only does this Elixir give them long life, it is also the source of their magical power. They mention there that Cosmos monsters, like Koma, were born of the tree and live between the realms. I really do hope they use Kaldheim for the next run of shocks. Changeling breed pool, steam vent with giants, temple garden to Esika, etc

Lone Goat posted:Yeah when they said that this set only has 86 creatures below rare -when every other set in standard right now has around 100- I was VERY concerned. Feels like you gotta find your lane quick and not gently caress around or you're going to be short playables. It's not drafting creatures higher, which is funny, since tricks were actually looking better in this set with foretell. Gonna blow people out on thursday with 17 creature r/w bragging idiots.

I'd wager flat is right and h-brawl is getting a queue somewhere in the quiet times. But I don't know what number they were looking for in their tests.Lone Goat posted:Was Rhys ever in (non historic) Brawl? It's more dumb that a standard centric format has a random card from like 11 years ago in it. And none of them were good or fun choices, but it's brawl, the format that died twice.

Which reminds me I need to set aside a few uncommon WCs for the theme cards, not many of them look to see play but eh maybe? https://scryfall.com/search?order=set&q=set%3Akhm+is%3Athemepack&unique=prints The list of non-booster cards for those forgetting about them. Ambush is probably a decent elf card and rampage/reaper might prove useful somewhere.

Its awesome they put them in, but it's so baffling to do people dirty like that. Also they're not commander rares. They show up in theme boosters, they're standard legal. I wish we got the commander rares.  Is this card good? I don't know, but I wish we'd got to try. Spiderdrake fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Jan 29, 2021 |
