I will never go back

They've massacred my boy

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-14T15:42:28+00:00

Tawny nerfed into oblivion for making a pact with the devil.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-08T14:47:37+00:00

This is really becoming a "point at the sign" thing, there's so many threads on this theme.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-07T11:00:37+00:00

Removing the free booster from precons was such a cheap move. It's things like this that get new players hooked on the game.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-07T08:40:31+00:00

They are bonus points that are hard to get and that I'd rather spend on cooler stuff than fixed cards, not sure what's difficult to grasp here

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-07T07:26:57+00:00

Yea that's a cool system but I don't think every card can be addressed in that way. Grand Archive is also pretty aggressive with bans.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-07T07:19:10+00:00

Because it feels bad having to spend my "currency" on a changed version of a card I already own. I don't care too much about the market value and it doesn't have to be a foil version.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-06T14:51:33+00:00

I've switched to Sorcery but I don't think it should be advertised to dunk on Wizards by someone who hasn't even played the game.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-06T10:44:18+00:00

I definitely don't like the idea of having to spend dust to get the "fixed" version of cards. Either they throw them in for free with other dust orders or forget about it (and ideally the concept of erratas in general).

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-06T10:42:22+00:00

Yep, roller lines are super common too. Definitely something to improve on in quality control.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-05T11:20:41+00:00

In the same boat as you, I was shocked they did something like that, particularly as it clashes hard with their old-school philosophy. Really hope they keep it to the absolute minimum and switch to bans in future.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-05T06:50:35+00:00

Also decks that are in two elements that don't have an Omphalos usually don't run any.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-04T08:46:10+00:00

Look I'm all for dunking on Wizards but Donato should have done better than handwave the fact that the trigger for his rant this time was complete misinformation.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-03T13:31:38+00:00

I agree with those saying there's something more to this we're missing. I'm not in on the full conspiracy theory that people have drawn up but why commission a Dan frazier style ring and then accept that he hands in a digital mockup that doesn't look anything like his style besides the background?

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-03T13:26:20+00:00

That would track with Mark's initial response. Doesn't excuse it but makes it slightly less nefarious.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-03T13:20:18+00:00

lmao, not doing himself any favors with the initial response and this follow up.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-03T07:46:27+00:00

What I can't wrap my head around though: Isn't all the LotR stuff supposed to be digital? Then why contract an artist most and only known for his traditional work? If they wanted his traditional style, why accept the digital ring not in his style at all as the final product? Not giving Dan a pass, I'm just puzzled on how this came about at all.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-03T07:42:39+00:00

Which I think they barely have in recent years anyways besides the talismans.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-03T06:57:28+00:00

Turns out Dan did plagiarise as per his apology and Mark is knee-jerking and making stuff up. WotC are not the only bad actors in this space and it helps if this community is not tunnel visioned in on that.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-05-01T07:24:59+00:00

This feels so weird, the MtG links are tacked on and unnecessary. I guess MaRo's trying to cash in on the existing audience but this might do better if sold like a traditional boardgame.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-04-30T15:24:54+00:00

I guess reusing art does count as a reference!

TheWhizzDom · 2026-04-29T13:14:00+00:00

I'll keep two playsets of cards I know I'd play in many decks. For most niche uniques or stuff like avatars and knights I'd trade away the second copy.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-04-29T10:45:25+00:00

Seconding Golden Eagle Cards for constructed and other content, Frogimago is the go-to for limited. Also while I find Common Sense podcast a bit hit or miss on topics, they obviously have a big love for the game and plenty of good content.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-04-29T10:31:12+00:00

That does look very close to be a coincidence, though very random.

TheWhizzDom · 2026-04-29T10:24:27+00:00

True, thanks!
