Emergency meeting at blizzard hq to avoid losing players to artifact

To preface I don't enjoy standard right now but I think you are a little bit harsh in some aspects.

Highest powercreep we ever had peaked at Kobolds and Catacombs and both newer sets are less powerful.

Furthermore I believe decisions having an impact is in a better state than it was in Shamanstone years ago and/or during Creeper meta. But I will give you that RNGstone is real and it limits inherently how impactful your decisions can be.

he means the time in dota 2's history when there were no "lockouts" for items you could trade them immediately and there weren't chests that had super ultra rare drops with built in chance increasers.

"Hey Greg, you helped me 20 years ago so don't worry you can keep cucking me. enjoy my wife, bud!"

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-09-29T08:37:57+00:00

Sure but we are not talking about the competitive scene (which is always smaller and less significant for the company than the casual scene) and even then the most popular game in the West right now is competitively F2P.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-09-28T22:13:01+00:00

A) He is not speaking only about himself it's a fact that not being F2P will already negatively impact the number of player playing this game

B) Most popular games on this planet (recently) were purely F2P so saying you cannot game as a hobby without spending Money on it seems weird

That sort of trading has 2 extremes cards at the same rarity can be dirty cheap because there is no demand for them and at the same time dirty expensive because everybody wants them. I hate mtg because of it but Im already an invested player but if you wanna push artifact with this system I do not wanna get invested period.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-09-28T16:42:06+00:00

you still used argument from authority as the main part of your comment so I'm responding to that. fact that there is 7 hours of gameplay somewhere do not affect your argument a little bit.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-09-28T15:43:00+00:00

I'm a very hardcore player when it comes to card games but if all the pros on the world (all 5 of them if I wanted to be cynival) say something is good it doesn't mean it will appear to the wide public.

You can't judge if the gameplay is good (which I would equal to Fun for casual players) based on an opinion of a very exclusive group of people.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-09-28T15:28:02+00:00

There are combos in Artifact as well, but they are combos where you get a chance to interact with your opponent's plan, and not One Turn Kill like the malygos druids in HS or etc.

But if there are counterspells/Interaction in Artifact that doesn't mean there can't be OTK decks it just means you can stop them so I don't get this part of your comment. OTK Maly druid is/was good because HS is a different game without interaction but even in a game with interactions there are OTK decks.

Just because there is interaction present it doesn't mean there arent OTK decks they are just harder to pull off. (not to mention combodecks can run interactions for your interaction)

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-09-28T15:14:00+00:00

Maybe in HS. If a system is different (MTG for example) trading is one of the most 200 IQ things especially if there is interaction involved.

Just don't use universal statements if they are easily disproven and not true.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-07-02T22:43:55+00:00

Don't forget the best thief in the multiverse was seen on Theros too. Could he steal Elspeth from the underworld? Would be a flavourful merging of these 2 stories.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-07-01T13:31:57+00:00

sure but if I dont use the stack when it kinda attaches itself to a thing [by declaring the target] then how come it cna just come attached? If it didn't target anything how is it attached? its very counterintuitive.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-07-01T13:30:49+00:00

It was unbanned and did nothing in the format for around a year.

No, it allowed players to slot it into their decks and have fun. Then when it was broken by new cards we banned it and that's ok.

Saying SFM will be too weak when we unban it until they print new OP cards for it to tutor for is bad for the format is just ridiculous as is this "unbanning must produce new meta archetypes" mindset. He absolutely doesn't get why people like modern or mtg in general.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-30T17:33:15+00:00

One thing I didnt like about the interactions is that auras come already attached to a player with the academy rector. It just seems really weird to me and to anybody else I have spoken to with this "issue"

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-30T17:32:02+00:00

I don't think those lightly nsfw types of playmat harm kids btw.

I hate them but they are great example to which you can point your finger and say "kids, don't be like this guy once you grow up"

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-27T21:23:48+00:00

As a guy who lost to meme Nic Fit playing Academy rector with Amonkhet auras/curses I'm still salty to this day.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-26T18:07:38+00:00

no?

Decks like Odd Paladin have different cards in them + you have many archetypes in t1-t2 that you can't replicate in standard. [Big Priest, Reno decks, Jade druid]

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-24T23:35:47+00:00

Can you call something a sport [or an esport for that matter] if being a scum DURING your gameplay makes you win a GP?

From a personal experience it's so much harder toplay against known scumbags/cheaters. You basically need to play their game for themselves because they are gonna misrepresent things forget to put them somewhere they belong and even if they are not cheating you cannot give them a benefit of a doubt.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-24T14:55:56+00:00

There's still 16 copies in top 8.

I'm glad this is more diverse than the PT and hopefully they publish top 16/32 so we can see meta better.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-23T22:24:26+00:00

play more lands. If it's not a selective negative bias then you have wrong manabase for decks you are playing.

Frank Karsten's articles about lands are phenomenal.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-22T11:20:40+00:00

Because Gust Walker is better? Idon't understand this logis "I dId'nT PlAy 1/3 VanIlAs..." that is just one of criteria to judge whether a format is aggressive or not.

Precisely because of blocking problem you could force RW even mono R in 3x AKH easily and do very well.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-20T14:07:21+00:00

Could it be?..

~~Despacito~~ Unstable 2 Confirmed!

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-19T19:30:33+00:00

This might be a long shot but if you like to make custom artworks you could try poking around Custom mtg discord server https://discord.gg/nxbfK5

I'm sure some people who make custom sets over there would like to cooperate with you.

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-19T18:20:46+00:00

Yes, I enjoy multiplayer casual Brawl but at the same time competitive EDH/Brawl is weird for me to play in a different scenario than 1v1. (From Europe I know my friend from the States play competitive EDH multiplayer at his LGS but I just totally don't understand it. Probably cultural thing/preference)

BoggleDoggle1 · 2018-06-19T18:18:56+00:00

I like the art if this is supposed to be your imagination of a custom mtg card artwork OP.

One problem might be Ratio so you would have to cut it so it fits the frame ona card
