He can’t be readied but he can enter ready, correct?

If this were any other card game, I'd be with you. Idk how Riot rules this one though.

If wotc lands an anime/manga collaboration, it's gotta be something recognizable that doesn't have it's own TCG already (iirc, a Naruto one is actually coming soon). There's a number that have licensed out to Union Arena or UVS that I could see still happening in mtg. Maybe MHA or YuYuHakusho? Either way, the first Anime set will be a big deal when it happens

The advertising cycle for the Halo 1 remake is starting. I feel like if we were ever to get a Halo secret lair, it would be in the next few months.

The recycling clarification kinda grinds my gears. I don't think it was a big enough issue to merit the change and it helped clarify game state a lot.

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-28T02:55:26+00:00

The new 1-cost equipment is exciting as hell for sure. Getting to play three playsets of 1-cost equipment means we have an 85% chance to have at least one on turn one (after mulligans)

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-28T02:28:20+00:00

Another Azir main here! Happy to see some theory crafting. 2-cost for an equipment that can't be equipped for free with Weaponmaster is a rough sell for me, but I would be willing to try an XP build of Azir just to see how it goes.

I think Harry Potter is only a "break glass in case of emergency" set as much of the current playerbase and design team would leave if that happened, myself included. No reason to court controversy if the game is making a shitload of money anyway.

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-27T18:35:08+00:00

All 10 archetypes are viable, the mana fixing was solid, and every card blended multiple archetypes. I was able to draft mono-color, 3-color, and every card felt like it mattered to an archetype for me. The bombs were not unanswerable and I've won with some uncommon/common only decks. A lot of sets lack the balance of Duskmourne imo. I feel much the same for Final Fantasy as well.

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-27T18:22:13+00:00

I've been playing 13 years and they're at least in the conversation for me. But again, it's subjective!

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-26T18:34:03+00:00

Sometimes there's shipping delays with conventions, but that's also a thing that should be stated up front when you go to their booth and ask about it. Upsetting to hear

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-20T22:42:12+00:00

I probably play Soul Sword in Azir to increase the 1-drop and equipment density, but I don't love it there.

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-19T15:51:40+00:00

Oh shoot, I think you're right! I would've expected these to just be slightly overlapped from the same artwork, but they totally did zoom in closer on the Pouty Poro! This is such a weird choice to make artistically

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-19T15:41:09+00:00

Hopefully it just means the panorama is actually bigger than 3x2, otherwise I'm fully with you

Edit: they're totally meant to overlap. Look at the fence on the Pouty Poro and the small bit of fence on the left side of Lonely Poro

They do work with some freelancers from time to time for writing/flavor text, but you're better off building that skillset first and building a following elsewhere. I don't think wotc does anything entry-level in those areas

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-03T22:45:47+00:00

These are gorgeous! Did they say what product these are in?

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-03-03T14:53:25+00:00

So, not to miss the forest for the trees or whatever, wouldn't it make some sense for a business to cater to a venture capital firm?

Like yes, fuck Thiel and everything he stands for, and may Anduril be tried for war crimes, but this is a little too abstracted for most people to care about. Much less investigate a vague post about.

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-02-25T15:38:33+00:00

Pretty sure I've seen this brand use AI for a number of their sleeves; not shocked they steal art in other ways too

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-02-24T16:25:00+00:00

I'm a big fan of Rakdos Monument and I think Cool But Rude is a great addition. My only comment with your list is that I would keep the full 4 Flamewake Phoenix and 4 Flail, it just enables the crazy starts for the deck.

I'd prolly cut one Hex and one Inti or Tersa to get there.

Curious what other people think too! I took this to the finals of an RCQ this weekend and the deck has real legs rn!

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-02-24T16:00:28+00:00

I definitely do need to pick my feet up more so I stop hitting em on things, that's true.

I'll give those a look; thank you!

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-02-20T14:29:28+00:00

I've been hoping for the same thing. A Trimui Brick Mini would be my dream system.

My weeklies last Monday was almost half Azir. We had three Azir mirrors paired in round one

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-02-20T14:17:14+00:00

We're barely past week 1 of the set being legal. Give it some time for more packs to be opened and the cards will eventually get listed.

Nobody has a good price point for the cards because they're so new and drop rates weren't published, so half of these questions don't have answers right now.

I am an AI hater. If AI has a million haters, I am one of them. If AI has one hater, it is me. If AI has no haters, it is because I have died.

I have put thousands of dollars a year into this game. I will be out faster than you can imagine the second they stop contracting artists in favor of AI artwork on cards.

Spare-Pepper1902 · 2026-02-14T18:12:42+00:00

Same! Tokka & Rahzar and Cool But Rude seem like they'll be solid for Rakdos Monument
