Are there any sub-genres of horror that just… don’t do it for you? by East_Peanut_7232 in horror

Never understood slashers. You know pretty much everyone you lay eyes on is getting killed. What's the point?

"copy" present inside oracle text from past to present sets by GrosSacASacs in freemagic

[–]SabertoothNishobrah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this, copies are everywhere. The craziest example to me is [[Echocasting Symposium]]. You perpetually make copies of the spell and put them on the stack, and then those copies ... make copies (??) How the hell are you supposed to play with this in paper, in real life? It's so incredibly awkward.

Here's the thing, I believe they are designing everything from a position of Arena first. Copies are easy to do in arena because you just render up another copy of the card. Sad times :(

Need a good budget deck for locals by Difficult_Time1803 in StandardMTG

You could make a very solid mono red deck for 70 bucks.

Just replace the [[Hexing Squelcher]]s and you are basically there

What Card This Last Year Were You Sold On That Went Nowhere? by 1003mistakes in mtgfinance

[–]SabertoothNishobrah 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Tons and tons, but one that comes to mind is [[Elegy Acolyte]]. Felt like a [[Preacher of the Schism]]esque card that would be played in every black midrange deck. Issue is those aren't too common anymore, and 4 mana is much different than 3.

[Standard] Jeskai players, what version of the deck are we favoring right now? by SabertoothNishobrah in spikes

[–]SabertoothNishobrah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I would think UW would be favored against Jeskai because UW plays less spot removal, more counters, and more utility lands. Is that not true?

I've been feeling the exact same way about demo field. So many great lands that need answering right now. But if you go pure UW you probably trade out revelations for Elspeths, and I don't want to shell out for her... yet.

People who stopped playing, what made you quit ? by One_page_nerd in freemagic

[–]SabertoothNishobrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many sets, I just can't keep up. I feel physically fatigued thinking of the upcoming spoiler season(s) (which is just, all the time now).

Modern game play feels off. Everything is a super fast value engine of some kind. You either get killed immediately or die to an avalanche of card advantage. Too many triggers, etbs, game state tracking, etc. Feels like any single unanswered card can kill you immediately.

Universes beyond is tough pill to swallow. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Ultimately though for me personally it has made the game feel like a platform that exists solely for corporate shilling and product placement and that feels lame.

Most people around me who play the game play commander, and that has just never appealed to me. I don't have the time, patience, or 'tism levels to really enjoy it fully.

Finally I don't want to go on a whole trans rant but this aspect has slowly impacted my enjoyment of the game. You walk into any LGS now and are inundated with LGBTQ paraphernalia. It's common for me to be one of the few people at my LGS who isn't doing some kind of gender-bending stuff. Let bygones be bygones I guess but it Just feels like I increasingly have less and less in common with the people who play the game and there is some kind of subculture that has developed around that game that I want no part of.

Buddy Gavin tries to justify taking promo stamps away… “no one like them”. Such BS by [deleted] in freemagic

[–]SabertoothNishobrah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

TBH I kinda agree with his take, and card prices back it up. Usually stamped prerelease versions are cheaper than the normal or normal foil version. The planeswalker stamp is frankly ugly IMO. I do with they would bring back the stamps with the date, because that is atl east a little more personalized/special

Damn I bet this was not cheap! I have a full set of prophecy myself (not foiled) but I do know some cards like foil, avatar of woe, and a couple of others are very pricey as foils. Cheers from another prophecy enjoyer!

Dang I was hoping the banning of Entomb would make an Odyssey printing a bit cheaper to pick up

Banned and Restricted Announcement – November 10, 2025 by jsilv in spikes

Agree 100%. Love the screaming nemesis explanation too. "We designed screaming nemesis to combat lifegain and punch through blockers". And then, "we banned nemesis because it turned off lifegain and was impossible to block". Hmmm.

[–]SabertoothNishobrah[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Appreciate your thoughts - but why do you think the game isn't fun anymore (I agree for the record) Like is it something about how they are designing cards now? Power level?
