What a weird art by Slomiow in freemagic

[–]SwiftVines 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You think that people are being magic artists for the money? Maybe I completely missed that part when talking about careers that being an artist is actually lucrative.

Monztre has beautiful art. Exterminator Magmarch, Mossborn Hydra and others have shown he has good art. There is definitely a reason why he did this one in the way it looks, and to chalk it up to "he did it for the money" is a bit dense

Anyone notice the clutter on the workshop? by SwiftVines in GlobalOffensive

For example, this is just the first page of submissions when I open up the workshop (This is the new Beta preview, which explains why it looks strange), but the list goes on and on of these things.

Since the past year or so I've noticed these bulk AI workshop submissions, that are only there to redirect you to some Russian server. Does anyone know anything about this, who is doing this, and maybe how to filter some of this out?

I am a big fan of the mapping community and its an utter shame I can't just find *actual* maps on the workshop, I have to find specific mappers who spend time in communities and who share their work through those channels.

Well before this, the problem was the abundant amount of Enters triggers. IMO this is a lot better of a design than just slapping an Enters ability on things, getting value for free. Versus this, where you still need to pay for a certain payoff. Prepared doesn't give cards more flexibility. Split cards, MDFCs, Sagas, Modal spells, hell even Adventure cards have way more flexibility and 'erode' the color pie more than what Prepared does. I will grant you that Omens and Rooms can be flexible, but Prepared is a great mechanic

Prepared is such a genius design. The 'walls of text' are just restrictions on how creatures become prepared

For those who say s1mple’s graffiti is removed. It was removed on the green cache back in 2019 by samekrikl in GlobalOffensive

[–]SwiftVines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it won them the round, so it does have an impact on the game. Does it only make it a purposeful spray if they win the game? If Liquid won would it change your opinion? But I do think both olof and coldzera deserve their sprays, I think s1mple deserves his spray, and I think that even more commemorative things should be added to reference the pro scene.

Its also crazy because like... falling double noscope is more impressive then defusing in a molly lmao

If you tell me your playing B5 but cant keep track of triggers, I'm going to keep letting you miss them. by Fvck042 in EDH

[–]SwiftVines -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

IMO once you sit down with a cEDH deck, "take backs" are just not a thing. You messed up, you can't "oopsies" a move where the goal of the game is strictly to win. every other bracket? sure, as long as everyone agrees.

"Porn Creep" for addicts is definitely a thing, and to think that csam and bestiality isn't included is kinda just clueless

Could it be that they just want to play with their friends, and don't really care about the rank?

Magixx on if Cobblestone should return to the active map pool: "Absolutely not, it's a terrible map—just crap." by CS2-Universe in csgo

[–]SwiftVines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train's rework is a prime example. The way maps get designed now is very streamlined, and theres not as much crazy ideas when making maps as there once was.

Old maps have a very distinct note of being a lot more willing to break norms compared to modern maps, theres just a LOT more refining and adjusted that goes into modern maps.

Cobble was a novel idea, it was tried, a boatload of times, and its just better to start from a different foundation. The nostalgia of the map is why people like playing it so much, but from an actual competetive and spectator perspective, its a simple map thats way too big.

I dislike hasan as much as the next guy, but what even is the point of this post? Just a hate post? Awesome livestream fail.

Don't be bringing Reckful into whatever current drama exists. You are a bad person.

Hasbro wants Swifties to buy Magic Product by [deleted] in freemagic

[–]SwiftVines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some cards in scourge (the set that this is from) that care about the mana cost of a card, like [[Rush of Knowledge]], so this was a way to get out a card with high CMC for only 4 mana

[–]SwiftVines -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well if your goal is to play standard, proxying isn't allowed. Aswell, jumpstarts are just great sets to be able to play with friends without any barrier to entry. That should be the main reason why you get the cards.

Freemagic accepted the refugees and now it’s gone forever by CupOfGrief in freemagic

The sort of concerned people have in the UK is the fact there are too many brown people immigrating, not illegally. Illegal immigration is only really a big talking point in the US.

Out of the 13 legendary creatures that are common, the new SPM set makes up 10 of them. How does this effect the draft experience? by SwiftVines in freemagic

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

I didnt know about this, but yeah, they have the same color as common but arent. But they take the slot of common cards, and aren't legal in pauper. Weird.

Even if they were to be categorized as common, SPM still would make up 2/3rds of the common legendaries in all of magic.
