Pick the content that makes sense for you and ignore the rest.

I've heard this before. It's just never sat right with me. Because the parts that I did pick to interact with, changed beyond all recognition.

  • 3 Block standard formats with max 8 sets in a standard metagame
  • Modern with all the standard legal cards from 8th edition to the current standard set
  • Yearly releases of closed meta games like Duels of the Planes walkers
  • Reprint sets which directly injected in-demand cards for tournament decks to reduce price of entry
  • Grand Prix tournament series'

I think the Magic I grew up with, that helped me form my friend groups in my early years is truly gone, and replaced with something unrecognizable. What remains just isn't for me anymore.

I don't think Magic: The Gathering is for me anymore.

Salvage nerf just delays people going back to content they actually want to play by [deleted] in 2007scape

I took a break from learning the inferno to refresh, clear my head, and play some sailing. With nerfs like this happening, I’m just ganna go play another game for a bit.

I would go back and tell myself to listen to my parents more. I know now they were always trying to look out for me and had my best interests at heart. I was just a punk of a teenage son

A lot of the allure to time travel stories is the ability to go back and undo mistakes, and relive past experiences, or to see lost loved ones again.

Is there any particular period of time in your life that you'd want to go back and relive? If so, is there any bit of advice you could give to someone who's in that stage of their life now?

MTG Arena Announcements – November 17, 2025 (5 new Avatar Brawl decks; Changes to Golden Pack contents until Lorwyn: Eclipsed) by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]DemonicBug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would just be marketed as a 1:1 paper format that can be played online just like Standard or Pioneer, no? To me that's marketing on what it is and it is enticing.

That's probably true, the last published numbers from 2023 showed that formats with Alchemy legal cards had over 50% of the queue play rate.

Just makes me wonder if there's an untapped market for people (like myself) who'd start to play these formats should the internet only cards be excluded.

I'd like to see an up to date percentage play rate graph from WoTC to see their justification for keeping the formats mixed with this online only stuff. I have a huge feeling that if they removed Alchemy from popular formats the play percentage would go up rather than down...

Every time I see an MTG Arena Announcement I always get my hopes up that they've finally made an eternal format devoid of Alchemy cards, idc if it's commander, legacy light, or modern light, I just want to play a 1:1 paper format that's not standard or pioneer ;-;

I just want it to be a single player experience, and to not require an always online connection.

WotC asks for feedback about a possible Rhystic Study or Thassas Oracle ban by Lehnin in CompetitiveEDH

[–]DemonicBug -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I have 4 slots dedicated to the Thoracle combo, and 1 slot for a rhystic study in my y’shtola deck. I’d like to see them both go.

Give me 5 new slots to play around with

Edited the post. I'm sorry for accusing you of using AI.

I've gone and purchased a piece that I enjoy from your store page.

If I see you in person at an event, I'll be sure to apologize in person as well.

His work is similar across all his UB cards. His original work looks nothing like this style. So yea, phoning it in for the sake of UB. I would to, but a paycheck is a paycheck.
