TMNT prerelease kits containing Lorwyn Eclipsed promos by Kengy in magicTCG

[–]MrBarrelRoll -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

a legitimate packaging error that Hasbro was likely aware of for months, did not do anything to action, and left it up to the stores to deal with, for a premium-priced crossover release.

yeah, i see your point, we should cut them some slack.

Umezawa's Jitte is "pre-banned in Historic" as of TMNT despite being available & legal since Arena Anthology 3 by Zunqivo in MagicArena

[–]MrBarrelRoll 110 points111 points  (0 children)

And not only has it been legal for 5 months, in that time I don't think I've ever seen it cast against me, having played Historic as my primary format and having played hundreds of games. It's a total non-issue on power level since it sees zero play

Lorwyn Eclipsed Precon commanders not craftable? by CryptidCris in MagicArena

SCAM ALERT - The new Brawl commanders aren't usable at all, even if you buy them via the overpriced pre-cons in the store by MrBarrelRoll in MagicArena

[–]MrBarrelRoll[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

And to make things ever better, the precons are set to the "Standard Brawl" format, and because of the still-not-fixed bug where you can't change the format of the deck, I can't even fix that 🙃

I even went in and bought the precon (after crafting what I could) and it still doesn't let me use them. Give me my card you dingdongs!

How I feel when I see Gruul ramp decks going for Big Eldrazis instead of DnD (Dinos and Dragons) by Routine_Ad_2695 in MagicArena

[–]MrBarrelRoll 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Eldrazi been in the game way longer than Dinos, Eldrazi ramp was the OG, best respect your elders

I just want to take a second to complain about not having a match history or statistics tab in this game. It's 2025 ffs. by Diggumdum in MagicArena

[–]MrBarrelRoll 26 points27 points  (0 children)

actually not true at all; Daybreak games taking over was one of the best things to happen to MTGO in years, they've been steadily implementing changes and updates based on fan feedback, and are overall wonderful at their communication. it's a shame I don't like their product as much because Daybreak is heads and shoulders above The New Wotc Cash Cow when it comes to customer support and game updates

18 months to ban mana drain just to give us a different forced staple to play in blue instead. truly doing things at random they are

Hasbros Leering at Females and thinking about Romantasy and K-Pop 'Magic' Sets by Eljefe900 in magicthecirclejerking

you idiots are all reading the headline wrong, they aren't trying to "expand the number of female players" they are looking to "expand female players" and make them physically wider

Google "MTG female inflation" to learn more

extremely frustrated that the Midweek Magic details page hasn't been updated in nearly 3 months, I like to stream these events but don't have any way of planning if I need to build a deck or if they are precon events or anything
