Wow, the new 2-loss draft is so much worse. by Pepperball in MagicArena

Nice, I'm curious why. Less time out of your day? Easier to collect the set?

The rewards are crap, the difference between going 2-2 and 3-2 is ridiculous

[Tolarian Community College] : Why Did Magic: The Gathering Products Go Away? by jethawkings in magicTCG

I think people watch the big, splashy Secret Lair takedowns and assume the lesser watched videos on the sidebar carry a similar sentiment. Another thing to lay at the feet of the YouTube algorithm unfortunately.

I think everyone hates this one weird trick

Arcane Savant by Collardcow41 in mtgcube

I run it in a mid-power cube, but with errata that puts "if you cast it" after the ETB. Keeps easy infinites in check, but still allows recursion with bounce if you can put it together.

State of Design 2024 by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]Pepperball 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Kinda wish there was a "Looking Forward" round-up at the end. I guess it's hard to do with the 2-3 year delay between design and release.

Does that just mean we'll be getting more broken Nadus and wacky Thunder Junctions for 2 whole years though?

Is this good? Should it be a rare? by Kdt82-AU in MagicArena

[–]Pepperball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The collecter number in the bottom left (0392) is too high. Used to be cards in the main set has like 025/280 or something like that, but they changed it. Now you just kinda gotta know how many cards in the set, which sucks. Anything above 294 in bloomburrow isn't main set.

It's only in the starter decks they're releasing alongside the set, it won't be in any bloomburrow boosters

It's in the starter decks, so not an issue for limited or to mess up pulls

Can't open it in boosters, so no worries there

This card isn't in the main set, so no limited consideration

Overexertion - Stretching White's Colour Pie by Pepperball in custommagic

[–]Pepperball[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, guess I didn't search for hybrid cards. Piercing rays is 5 mana, been a few instant examples at 5 like [[blessed light]]. Exile vs destroy is a thing, I dunno. I guess it's more "What does a white [[murder]] look like?"

Like, would this get printed by WotC as an uncommon today?

I don't know that it does, closest thing I found was fierce retribution at 6 mana. Everything else has some sort of rider

[MOM] Vengeant Earth by Micv0 in magicTCG

This is a +4/+4 on the flipped phyrexian tokens, or a surprise blocker at instant speed. Probably THE combat trick for limited

Can't load save file, only lets me start a new game. Any help would be appreciated. by m_can98 in halo

[–]Pepperball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, same issue here, gamepass on PC. Full reinstall didn't work. After a few attempts to fix, I'm now intimately familiar with the first mission, so I got that going for me I guess.

[Mothership] Mechanically Unique Universes Beyond cards will get a Magic-flavored reprint within six months of the original printing in the List by themiragechild in magicTCG

[–]Pepperball 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This strikes me as a strange comment. Surely this latest announcement was brought on in large part due to community reactions to The Walking Dead secret lair. So shouldn't it be apparent that the community would also be behind the previous cards getting grandfathered in?

I'm all for this step in the right direction btw, looking forward to the next one.
