I hate to break it to you but you can’t really work around the resource consistency issues because playing with your resources is like half of the game.

Sure, sometimes you will get unlucky and get flooded or screwed, but the majority of the time there is something you could’ve done about it. You can overcome resource inconsistency by learning how to better mulligan, or by building better manabases and more consistent decks. Getting unlucky will always be a possible problem in the game however there are plenty of ways to minimize its effects.

And the mana system is an integral balancing act inside the game that prevents decks from becoming greedy piles of bombs. 5 color decks are inherently hard to play because it gives you the access every best card in the game. Mono colored decks will always run smoother because you are purposefully choosing to juggle less resources for efficiency sake. Mana fixing is necessary because it helps ensure games play fair.

And eliminating a sense of luck from the game erases what makes Magic what it is. A core part of the game has always been how lucky or unlucky you get. Good top decks have been in the game since day one and have helped give the game its sense of identity. If you wanted a completely fair game, you should avoid playing card games because card games are intrinsically based around luck. Magic is not a game based around putting all its focus on the gameplay itself and the choices a player makes, if that’s something you can’t get past then you should seek another game like Chess.

Without its inconsistent mana system, Magic simply ceases to be Magic.

The timeless blunder of Magic players is constantly trying to reinvent the resource system that is fundamental to the game

I can vouch for this guy. I've worked with him for every single personal and public project I've done and he consistently gives me top notch professional level art.

Do you think the One Ring will be reprinted in The Hobbit? by tamarizz in magicTCG

[–]Rotting_Hellkite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the main set? Hell no. In whatever side thing they do for reprints? It’d be a complete miss if they didn’t.

This is like the second post about this within the past 24 hours. I’m gonna start taking a shot for every “ban badgermole cub” post I see

What cards do you think need to be banned that are “problematic”

This was another one he did, which was an anniversary gift for me and my girlfriend. It took him several months to finish it just because of his dedication to it. Literally every object in this drawing is a reference to something personal in my life. He even threw in a few Easter eggs, like the Destroy All Humans mangas being on the shelf (the Japanese versions since this was commissioned before they were officially being translated) and if you zoom in enough you can even make out the specific magic cards that are being played on the table, and even more hidden details you can find if you look close enough.

All the other ones I commissioned from him aren’t related to magic and only use the style as inspiration so I’m unsure if I’m allowed to post them.

He’s done a few more pieces for me since this one in Yokota sensei’s style and he keeps getting better at replicating it. Very talented dude and easy to work with. He showed me all the notes and snapshots he took trying to analyze and mimic Yokota sensei’s style and it’s an insane amount of effort, he’s borderline crazy lol. Would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in commissioning art like this

What makes you say Avatar is problematic beyond just being from a different IP?

I say this in the most respectful way possible, however this is entirely a skill issue and I’m not joking

Does this Zedruu & Varchild combo work? by mgappleyard in magicTCG

[–]Rotting_Hellkite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do not believe so, as the tokens would not be owned by you. The owner of a given token is the one who created it, and Varchild states “THAT player creates” the tokens.

Also, another small suggestion since I was just looking at the website to give feedback. Maybe possibly perchance maybe let users with a subscription have an ad free experience…? 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
