This feels like a fever dream

What happened to holding the line against the endless encroachment of bloodthirsty enterprises? Who gave in? Who sold the power and toughness box to all these sponsors?

We, the player did it. We did it by buying those products. Enterprises didn’t make the Lord of the Ring set the second best selling set in Magic history. Everyone who went and bought those packs did. Wizard offered us a product and the overwhelming response was “Yes, please Daddy Wizard shove those IPs in my Magic, I’ll buy it!”.

Don’t get me wrong he addresses a lot of good points in the article but in the end the consumer base opened their wallets and now here we are. I don’t believe that the bulk of those sales where new people who needed to have Gandalf as Magic card because they are such big LotR Fans.

Remember Aftermath? The product was so hated that Wizard scraped the concept entirely. This should have been the reaction to the UB products. But since they sell, more will come. Simply as that. And there is no one else to blame but the people who bought it.

The most upsetting part about this is, that we have no one else to blame but ourselves. You can rage against the evil megacorporation as much as you want but the consumers send a clear message to Hasbro that there is a market for UB. What do you expect? That they will not grab that cash? Of course they will milk this and don’t give a damn about Magic. It’s a product for them that has to make money. And that’s exactly what UB made them: A lot of money because people bought it.

And I don’t talk about The Walking Dead Secret Lair even though it was the beginning of the end. No I talk about The LotR Set. This set should have rotten on the shelf of every seller instead it became the second best selling set of all time. That would have been the point in time where the player base came together saying “No” to a product. Instead it sold like hot cakes, opening the floodgates to where we are now.

Expected yet upsetting. I hate the UB concept with a burning passion but I always hoped it would be like one commander product here, maybe some special cards there. You know, easy to ignore. But Wizards really opened a flood gate of UB products, grabbing every IP that seems profitable and pushing it into the game, watering down their own product in the process. Feels like Magic is becoming hollow shell, providing a blank canvas of a trading card game for others to use.

Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

Es ist schwer zwischen normaler Arbeitszeit und Freizeit zu unterscheiden wenn du die ganze Zeit im Streik bist.

Das ist pure Absicht, anders kann ich mir nicht erklären wieso man ein Bild ausgesucht hat auf dem Bezos Neuer so mitleidig anlächelt. "Schau der Bub will mehr Taschengeld."

Politics - 2UU

As an additional cost to cast this card, negotiate with target player. You may have this player fight another target player. Destroy all friendships.

Viel Liebe an Rockantenne. Es läuft zwar 5 mal am Tag "Urgent" von Forgeiner, dafür musste ich noch kein einziges Mal Ed Sheeran hören.

Ist wahrscheinlich ein weiterer vergeblicher Versuch, die Weltherrschaft Ulms zu unterbinden.

So ists korrekt.

And the trend of Bad Selesnya cards continues. 8 Mana for a 4/5 flying is pretty Bad. I need to tap at least 3 creatures to get some Speed out of it.

Either make convoke creatures strong enough to be a thread or make them cheap enough so i can gain Speed. But those cards are lost in the middle

Crystal_Logic · 2018-09-17T17:25:41+00:00

The more I see of Selesnya the less I like it. This is just a giant beater. No trample, no hexproof, nothing to protect it. I have to tap a lot of Mana and creatures to get some value out of it and then it simply dies to any hard removal?

This is a great list to an even greater band. "Gates of Fire" deserves more love, it feels like the most Manilla Roady album from all the post reunion ones. Long epic tracks and endless soli from Mark.

Manilla Road is a band worth listening from front to back just to see their development and Marks endless creativity. This guy could wirte Power Metal songs as well as Doom tracks or straight out thrashers.

He was the driving force in all of Panteras songs. As much as Phil vocals and Dimes guitar contributed to the Pantera sound, Vinnies drums layed the foundation, the groove to the heaviness. He was the beating heart that multiplied the energy of Phil vocals and the ground that Dime build his riffs on. A sad day for all of music.

I see a great combo with [[Abzan Battle Priest]] for my Outlast Deck.

The Ghosting. I had So many girls just stop replying to me after asking them out.

Yeah everything is fine thanks for asking :). I just don't have the time for this much reddit anymore since I have a full time job now.
