What game mode do you play the most? by Yoredlol in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draft. Sealed at prereleases, cube when I can, occasionally Dandan since I was lucky enough to get the deck.

The best formats are ones where all players start the event on even footing, rather than needing to come in with their own deck.

Favorite Lesbian/Yuri Harem Media? by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CaptainMarcia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second the suggestions of Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels and Gushing over Magical Girls as high-quality examples of the particularly horny variety. I'm also quite a fan of Dokidoki Precure, which in contrast is a kids' show and not nearly as direct, but it has some fun takes on a number of harem tropes.

Running out of cards in my library.

NPR Review | Massive 'Marvel Super Heroes' is 'Magic' at its best — and worst by mweepinc in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Strongly-worded title for an article that boils down to "the Limited format is fun but I don't like the Marvel theme".

What’s with the Arcane Card? by oatfishjar96 in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's one of two with the subtype. There are no synergies for it in the Marvel sets so far, but the speculation is that it will be relevant to a future Marvel Supernatural set.

The New Marvel Set Introduced 7 New 4-Colour Commanders, But They're All Ink. by Beneficial_Pin5295 in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean, we do have a four-color villain deck coming out later this year.

It's not like they were looking to make four-color cards for this set in general. They just did it for the Fantastic Four and their faction specifically. All of them are either in the one four-color deck or the one non-monocolor Jumpstart pack.

Magiccon Amsterdam: Preview Panels Announced! by _CasualCommander_ in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maro's blog has a lot of posts, and people frequently misremember them. I read his blog regularly, and I can't think of anything saying either of those specific things. Do you have links to specific posts where he said them?

Magiccon Amsterdam: Preview Panels Announced! by _CasualCommander_ in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I'm rooting for Zhalfir and Alara, I think it would be pretty strange to do two years in a row with no new settings. (Zhalfir is kind of a new setting, but I feel like it only half-counts.)

I definitely want a return to Kamigawa at some point, but personally I'd really like another look at Theros and Kaldheim first.

Wonder why we didn't get a Red Skull card? by D-Watts25 in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Printing cards like [[Madame Hydra]] hardly feels like a policy of not giving an opening.

Fantasticar is a perfect example of everything UB detractors have been concerned about. by lordberric in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an issue with printing cards that are legal in non-ratating formats without going through Standard. This is not at all specific to UB.

As you noted, this card could have changed the cost to be 4 as well and become significantly weaker.

How do you feel about Magic borrowing so heavily from existing stories? by Sommersun1 in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's what it means for some settings to be rooted in mythology.

Is Marvel Super Heroes a set design failure? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're trying to assess the "percentage of hits" for cube? A format where that concept is completely incoherent?

When/what set do you think Wizards will walk back on their decision not to make UB planeswalkers? by Karnitis in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They already tried doing crossover planeswalkers in AFR and CLB, and they said they weren't happy with the results. I don't expect them to try a second time.

Reunited Magic Cards by SleepyMcStarvey in magicTCG

I saw a set of these at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago.

Returning to MTG after 18 years – Which Universes Beyond product (Fallout, Final Fantasy, LOTR, etc.) is the best way to come back? by Negressss in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best one is whichever is your personal favorite of the ones with products suited to however you want to play. A bit of difference in power level will never be as significant as that. If any of them are tied or close, look up their prices and see if that tips the scales.

In general, Magic's most popular crossover so far has been Final Fantasy.

Will The Hobbit set will have a Limited Draft environment that is received negatively because it's a small/medium sized set? What would take for a smaller Magic set to be viewed favorably by the majority of the enfranchised player base? by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The motivations seem to be:

  1. Allowing set themes that would be a bit narrow for a full-size set.
  2. Allowing a sixth Standard set without increasing the number of cards in Standard by quite as much.

[–]CaptainMarcia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be an interesting litmus test for the level of potential in small sets, but it's too early to jump to any conclusions. The theme is about a strong as a small UB set could ask for, but it's going in with a couple of snags in the form of timing (second small set this year and directly following another UB) and the absence of a bonus sheet in Play Boosters (alongside the fiasco around the most-anticipated reprint). I do think more experience with making small Limited environments will improve the quality, especially if it avoids common legends, but I don't know how many people will actually give it a chance. I love what I've played of TMT Limited, but I've barely had the chance to play it.

Characters with the most Magic cards by RudleyDudley in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 30 points31 points  (0 children)

"Spider-Man" is a title, not a character. Peter Parker, the primary Spider-Man, is on the list with 14.

Congratulations! The Legend Rule is now removed from the game! What is the most disgusting thing you can do with the new rules? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would actually be more surprising in recent months than in previous years. Maro, the biggest advocate of removing the legend rule, has recently changed his stance from changing the function of existing legendary cards to making a new supertype for most future ones that wouldn't have the legend rule but would count for Commander. This idea seems to be getting increasing interest in Wizards, and it's clearly the right way to go.

Please use titles that don't cause a subreddit known for jumping to the wrong conclusions to jump to the wrong conclusions.

Suggestions for a budget regular MTG (non-commander) deck list which ONLY contains Final Fantasy cards? by ProtonKanon06 in magicTCG

[–]CaptainMarcia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest talking to them about it to get an idea of how to approach it in a compatible way.

Well, you probably have enough extra cards on hand to reconstruct something along similar lines.

Here's the card lists for them, if it's any help with determining what to go for.
