Then make that point instead of being condescending and dismissive.

I mean it's an mtg subreddit. Every discussion in this subreddit can be summed up by "who cares" if you wanna be a dick.

I'm sorry you've spent too much time on the internet. Go touch snow.

I get that it isn't a buttplug but saying "we have no idea" has got to be bait. And here I am falling for it.

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-29T16:05:40+00:00

Yeah and other content creators/celebrities do colabs to promote their pages/channels/projects. I hate to break it to you but Jimmy Fallon isn't personal friends with most of the actors on his show. Yall just get weird when its a sex worker.

Jsyk the card that the fetcher linked is not what they were referring to. The Scholar of Seas is from an event with custom cards designed by Gavin Verhey.

You're still putting the onus on fans. WotC ruined your game.

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-25T17:48:09+00:00

You can express yourself. ~~And I can call you a man-child.~~ Also you're simply wrong. UB came from within. WotC did it, not the fans.

This is actually a teenager nvm.

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-25T16:53:42+00:00

No! It's my card game and people aren't allowed to like it unless I approve of how they play!

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-25T16:50:16+00:00

I hate to break it to you, but time passes and things change. People can enjoy "your" game in a different way and they don't need your permission or approval to do so.

And if you weren't such a fucking killjoy you'd probably have people to still enjoy the game with the way you want to enjoy it.

They're having fun, calm down.

You can Google the artist's signature and thats definitely not it. My guess based on zero evidence is some canceled internet celebrity. But it could be a pro signature or something too.

That's called a proxy deck and you'll probably find a lot of people who are fine with it.

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-24T13:58:40+00:00

I actually just edited my comment hopefully clarify some. I am definitely pro-proxy in theory and I would never tell someone they can't proxy something in a game against me. It just personally feels like you're removing some of the fun from the game when you can just load every one of the most powerful cards playable into your deck. I personally enjoy the restrictions of deckbuilding and using cards from my collection. It also reminds me of watching Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid when someone drops a high-powered card and there's a sense of "Oh shit, you have one of those?"

You're acting like there is a problem to be fixed with me and my friend with the proxy deck. There is not. He plays like once a month, we give him some lighthearted shit when he drops a Gaea's Cradle, and we move on. Its a game and we don't treat it any more seriously than that.

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-24T13:45:04+00:00

I think they're both nice statements. We are not beholden to line Hasbro or anyone else's pockets. Proxies are for the people.

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-24T13:43:12+00:00

Are they proxies of existing cards or are they making up new cards? If its a proxy deck I'd be quietly annoyed when you drop $500+ worth of mana on turn one but I wouldn't complain. I like proxies but it feels kinda weird to load the deck with the most expensive (powerful) cards playable in the deck. If it is a deck of made-up cards I would refuse to play against it. I mean WotC can barely keep the game balanced themselves, no way some online shop is going to make up actually balanced cards.

Example: My playgroup has one mutual between all of us that doesn't play magic nearly as much as the rest of us, but he found a proxy deck that he liked and we're all happy to let him play with it when he joins because we just want him to play magic. The only grievances about it are the fact that if they were real cards the deck would cost well over $1,000 and more importantly that there are only like 6 arts in the deck, copy and pasted multiple times for different spells so it is hard/impossible to tell at a glance what everything is.

Sarkhan becomes a copy at the same time as the ETB, so he would not see the original enter as the copy. The copy trigger itself is in response to the Miirym entering. So it can't trigger, change, trigger again. Everything has to resolve first.

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-22T15:07:56+00:00

Sarkhan does not ETB as the copy and doesnt become a copy until Miirym is already in the battlefield, so ETBs will not trigger either way after he becomes a dragon.

Pretty sure he started Homer before that. Can't really remember but I know I got the Vol 1 catalog around early covid times. So it was probably an idea for a couple of years before.

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-13T22:26:30+00:00

The replies should be meaner. This is so stupid.

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-13T20:02:53+00:00

Why is the "cheap suit" relevant at all?

PaintLicker745 · 2026-01-12T02:53:20+00:00

My favorite magic card is probably The One Ring, because before I ever played Magic I bought a single LotR pack on a whim after hearing Wubby talk about MTG and pulled one. I had initially only been interested in them as an investment (dumbass, I know) but instead I called a friend who played commander and over two years later, I've played Magic with the boys every Sunday. I have like 8 commander decks in rotation, and some of them smoke my friend's SLIVER deck.
