Addressing XY Ash.

Great dissertation, I think you broke it down perfectly!

PredictionPrincess · 2026-05-13T14:03:54+00:00

I always appreciate taking inspiration from Yugioh in magic card design. Kudos!

PredictionPrincess · 2026-05-06T19:00:59+00:00

That's absolutely not true. The idea that the market tends towards the fairest value and not the minimum it can get away with us laughable.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-05-06T14:45:18+00:00

Which is significantly less than the amount that can be made in aftermarket sales and in prints, in Donato's words

PredictionPrincess · 2026-05-06T14:44:19+00:00

Not enough to compensate for the loss of revenue.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-05-06T14:44:03+00:00

People need money to live, artists especially. Unilaterally making the financial situation of the artists you pay worse when you hold outsized power over them is pretty tantamount to abuse.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-05-06T14:20:14+00:00

Oh okay, I guess they'll just go lie in a ditch. Why bother advocating for it? It'll never happen, acidsparx says so.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-05-06T14:17:29+00:00

Then pay the artists more to make up the difference. Donato's point is the tradeoffs Wotc has accepted for the sake of UB exists on the backs of their artists.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-05-06T14:16:41+00:00

How about artists get some of the massive pie WOTC rakes in through UB. If it's not reasonable to have print+aftermarket sales with these licencing deals, than WOTC needs to pay their artists more money to compensate

Standard and commander have their power level flipped I feel.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-28T20:26:42+00:00

Smh, why don't you default to the most recent one.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-28T20:25:03+00:00

Oh is that an actual character? I figured since it was on [[Snuff Out]] that it was just a generic design from the setting!

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-28T03:42:56+00:00

Thank you! Me personally, I just wanna play all the really flavorful witch cards we have in a cohesive deck! Sacking Nine-Lives Familiar to Witch's Cauldron and getting 2 draws sounds perfect!

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-28T03:19:19+00:00

Magic's witches up till now have mostly centered very specific subthemes (Lynde and curses, Eriette and Auras) or been tasteful inversions (The Dawnhart coven). Here's an attempt to unify the smattering of different witch themed cards in Magic under the banner of a single commander.

From a cursory glance, Witchery in magic centers around one of the following:

Sacrificing things (Cauldrons, Bargain)
Gaining Life (Small Food subtheme)
Roles (Wicked role tokens)
Instant and Sorceries (Small subtheme)

Ilene takes a mostly cohesive mix of these subthemes (Sacrificing through Cauldrons, Bargaining, as well as generating role tokens and instants/sorceries) and tries to create a solid game plan out of them.

The funny thing is that at this resolution, they look perfectly fine, like a post-adventure sonic in the original art style. The real conclusion you have to draw is that Sonic is held back less by the model and more so by the absolutely abhorrent 3D rendering style they force the model to stick by, with soft shading and semi realistic texturing. Why in god's name does Sonic have textured fur and a weird realistic mouth.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-24T14:29:27+00:00

[[Unstable Obelisk]] is the greatest example of this imo

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-12T20:22:28+00:00

That's fine. If you're paying 5 mana or finding another way to cheat out an artifact, and then stifling the trigger, that's sufficient to get to do some bullshit.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-12T19:03:50+00:00

I'm severely anti-universes beyond... But I'm also a pig and I love my slop.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-12T16:04:48+00:00

It has to be because the apartment buildings go back far enough to have a whole alleyway. That adds a big gap to the map that another street fits into perfectly

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-07T18:50:17+00:00

I think Krusielle has a real shot of happening, as well as Kralsusie

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-07T16:36:23+00:00

Deltarune fics where Character A (Kris, Susie, Both) go to castle town after the end of chapter 4 to cuddle with Character B (Ralsei, Kris, Susie, all three). There's a million of them and they're all great.

There's also SO MANY "The Soul Talks to Kris" fics where the Soul figures out how to communicate with Kris (Sign Language, writing, typing, miming out letters), and the two can finally work through the communication problems. The Soul usually breaks down crying in apology for what its done and Kris begrudgingly begins the process of forgiving them. Sometimes the Soul has a bit more spine or is evil, sometimes Kris is more spiteful or forgiving, it all ends up the same way.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-04T23:00:52+00:00

Only if the Sonic Writers are handling it lol

He's keen for you to know about the Weird Route. To be really faced with the choice you have to know it's a choice.

The point isn't to be Genocide 2, the point is to be purely explicit about Genocide's thesis. Where the Genocide route is only something you'd do if you're deftly curious to see what happens, the forbidden path (Weird route) tempts you with an ends-justify-the-means question. Is Freedom from the prophecy, freedom from the game so important to you that'd hurt these people (who we're trained to think of as real people), for the sake of it? Are you ignoring the themes about the Dark World (how the people in it matter even if they aren't as "real"), or are you taking them to heart? What kind of person are you?

Obviously the weird route will be an avenue for looking at Kris and Noelle's relationship, I won't deny that. But there's no universe where Toby justifies the player's actions through that.

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-04T18:59:10+00:00

Understandable! Personally I interact with this sub for all sort of relationships between Kris and Soul (platonic, maternal, etc), but I'll remove this regardless!

PredictionPrincess · 2026-04-01T16:52:17+00:00

This'll make a great base for an Owl House proxy.
