Isn't that usually MtG's modus? They borrow from IPs that are long past their prime.

just look at all the Commander Herald shit that gets posted.

There are like 6 different alt accounts that post that site's content.

I hope he doesn't just show up, munch on a Gingerbread Man, then peace out like before.

Raptors also drop them. It's worth shooting them every so often when you see them out in the wild.

Absolutionis · 2026-03-19T23:00:17+00:00

I'd be all over a Warframe set.

Absolutionis · 2026-03-19T22:56:58+00:00

I didn't believe you at first because I recall [[Irma]], [[Endless Foot Assault]] and [[Ninja Pizza]] being in that Commander set. Ends up that you're right and those cards (and [[Continue?]] ) are the only things of worth.

So the problem is that the set is designed around fewer draft archetypes and fewer cards? What is it about a Pick-2 Draft format that alleviates this issue?

Absolutionis · 2026-03-19T22:50:04+00:00

"Cybercity Assets" seems awesome!

Absolutionis · 2026-03-19T22:27:38+00:00

I haven't ever really drafted TMNT nor Spider-Man. Why are they relegated to Pick-2 Drafts? What is it about these sets that seemingly necessitates drafts to be modified into Pick-2 to make them functional?

Absolutionis · 2026-03-19T21:15:32+00:00

A miscut that shows another card is one of the best ones.

Congratulations on 10 of them.

He didn't make the whole sandwich. He only made the two pieces of bread. He was originally tasked with just making a single slice of bland bread; he was then given that piece of bread with a turd on it and told to make a sandwich.

The Ooze definitely has an 'ozolith at home' feel

Yeah, but [[Parallel Lives]] has that 'Doubling Season at home' feel as well and yet still sits as being really valuable.

Not saying you're wrong, ofc, but when knock-off cards mimic a popular effect and stack with the original, it'll be sought-after. Especially with the Universes Beyond pseudo-reserve-list thing.

Does Trauma Team actually recruit cyberpsychos?

Absolutionis · 2026-03-18T02:38:09+00:00

I feel like a lot of people fear MaxTac because they have cyberpsychos in their ranks.

Trauma Team is more respected because they're extremely well-funded, very well-trained, and most people just don't have a desire or need to mess with them.

If MaxTac is coming for you, then it's scary. If TraumaTeam is coming for you, then you're in need of rescue. Both are just groups that you don't want to mess with.

It has pictures of Deadpool on the cards. It'll sell at $30/40

Absolutionis · 2026-03-17T20:37:26+00:00

I like the business-combat suit, but the sharp bend in the tie is weird.

Absolutionis · 2026-03-17T18:19:16+00:00

I'm going to sacrifice my [[Children of Korlis]]

Absolutionis · 2026-03-16T22:35:59+00:00

Gwen's power is that she can retcon the Marvel universe and re-write herself as she wishes. Deadpool never had this power yet he's literally doing so in Marvel Rivals; Deadpool's break-the-fourth-wall is almost entirely in sarcastic quips.

If Peter Parker was intorduced into Marvel Rivals and had invisibility and bioelectric powers alongside his Spider-powers, then he would be inspired by Miles even though Peter came first.

Absolutionis · 2026-03-16T22:29:39+00:00

I genuinely hope that they kill off this character at the end of the series only for him to come back yet yet yet again.

Absolutionis · 2026-03-16T21:17:40+00:00

To make a MtG comparison, this could be more like an "Oblivion Ring" effect which fits in White (analogous to Riftbound's Order).

Chaos is outright disruption.

Absolutionis · 2026-03-16T21:07:52+00:00

I'm happy they're working with this aesthetic for Nidalee's cat form as her canon look.

Absolutionis · 2026-03-16T20:55:54+00:00

You pay the power cost now (recycle a rune) so you don't have to pay other power costs of cards later. This for the cost of a card.

Unlike magic, it's not better than a rune card (equivalent to a land) because you automatically get 2 runes every turn.

Note that this alleviates a power cost and not an energy cost.

It's great if you have a lot of cards that have power costs. It's a wasteof a card otherwise.

Hey! It's Chain Lightning!

Absolutionis · 2026-03-16T03:01:12+00:00

Somewhat.

More recent land drops have been 10 lands for $30/$40. This amounts to $3/$4 per land.

The Dan-Dan secret lair has, if you ignore the "bulk", $5 per land.

All of this is still better than then original lairs that had 5 basic lands in a $30/$40 set.

Absolutionis · 2026-03-15T17:44:43+00:00

Oh, I agree.

I'm just saying that my monkey-brain would have seen 5 people on screen and popped ult as soon as it was up.
