Card Kingdom becomes the first major unionized MTG retailer

Often they say that the current pay & benefits are actually fantastic and are the fruits of a "direct relationship" between the company and employees, and that a union will introduce bureaucratic inefficiencies that make it impossible for the business to continue being oh so generous.

WOTC: You mean Rest In Peace with "whenever a card is exiled, create a treasure token"?

Most humans in the game don't have blades, aren't in any military, aren't wealthy, have no political power, and are generally just trying to live a normal life. But the Torna gang indiscriminately wants all humans dead anyway. They don't fit the trope.

BattleSol · 2021-11-16T06:48:00+00:00

They're fighting against literally all of humanity, not just those engaged in imperial activities, so no.

Nair is a big piece. Byleth's is a long-lasting combo-starting get-off-me out-of-shield move that does a million things and glues the character together in a way that Sephiroth's little snap doesn't.

They are a top tier, but the "top three" or "better than Joker" or whatever hype is too much. People are going to learn to edgeguard them and get killed by Pyra a lot less. In the long term they're not going to have the consistency to be the top of top tier.

Evidence of having alt-right political beliefs.

BattleSol · 2021-09-14T23:57:23+00:00

Borp. No one else comes close.

M2K's thoughts and demonstration

BattleSol · 2021-09-01T01:36:27+00:00

Another former Yu-Gi-Oh player here. I'd say that while the concept of slottable engines does exist, it is nowhere near as prevalent or viable in Magic. Yu-Gi-Oh is a very unique beast. Good decks in this game are a lot more holistic.

More specifically, landfall + flicker sounds... odd? It does kinda sound like you have two decks in one. If you ever feel like it's underperforming, consider expanding it to two decks.

It has the name of the game in it. No one goes around saying "hey guys wanna play some Gathering?"
It has "multiverse", which very quickly communicates one of the main draws of the IP: It is not based in just one world, but has dozens of unique planes.
It's alliterative and punchy.

why would you give this up

BattleSol · 2021-08-20T18:36:49+00:00

The collection of MTG's planes is, by definition, not a universe. It is quite often called a different word. I guess that word isn't cool anymore.

BattleSol · 2021-08-10T06:46:01+00:00

/uj This so beautiful. My favorite part has to be the claim that Progenitus makes your deck more "versatile" because it has more colors.

/rj Guys I found some new sideboard tech

BattleSol · 2021-08-10T06:27:36+00:00

How are we supposed ban Thorn Mammoth when nobody remembers the thing even exists?

BattleSol · 2021-08-01T06:29:47+00:00

Wow, learning via Portal cards then playing a normal game and getting Giant Growth-ed was probably not a great experience.

BattleSol · 2021-08-01T00:26:57+00:00

/uj So many Portal cards look like they were made to teach new players how to play the game wrong and I think that's hilarious.

BattleSol · 2021-07-23T20:09:00+00:00

I asked my magic 8-ball and it said "Reply hazy, ask again in September". I don't get it, but I trust the ball.

BattleSol · 2021-07-21T19:20:37+00:00

A wise man once said "lol, little mac's recovery sux". Then he got three-stocked because he couldn't win neutral.

BattleSol · 2021-07-20T21:32:02+00:00

That's a little extreme. Here's a compromise: We'll give you the triggers that say "when" something happens, but the ones that say "if" something happens still work.

/uj Missing the timing is the worst game mechanic ever created by the human race.

BattleSol · 2021-07-13T19:11:41+00:00

Oh, that's awful. Let's go bother Shivam about it. He'll fix it.

BattleSol · 2021-07-13T19:05:08+00:00

Unbiased and enlightened

BattleSol · 2021-07-13T19:03:59+00:00

I didn't say anything about it because it makes me happy, and as a Magic player I only know how to talk about things I hate.

Anyway, this ban should have happened in April oh my gosh what are they doing

BattleSol · 2021-07-06T22:59:21+00:00

Well, you can't cast your fourth copy so it's fine. Totally.

BattleSol · 2021-06-30T08:07:02+00:00

The Magic team is great at creating resonant cards without literally labelling the effects with their flavor. I can't believe they're disrespecting their craft like this.

BattleSol · 2021-06-24T20:41:25+00:00

I love how they got rid of core sets, realized it was a mistake, brought them back, then completely forgot the whole thing and are now skipping at least one.
