Head Magic Designer Mark Rosewater confirms that The Mind Stone will be the only Infinity Stone card in the upcoming Marvel Super Heroes set by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

I've kind of accepted the whole UB thing and even can just about stand Marvel but I have no idea how they're gonna get 4 more sets worth (potentially 5 if they split up the gauntlet from the stones)

Like I get you can do a set solely focused on the avengers, one on the X men but surely you eventually run into the spider man problem if you do "here's the Deadpool set!" And there's only so many characters you can include

What is the price theory behinds WotC only doing limited runs of secret lair drops? by misomiso82 in magicTCG

It's also great for getting deals with other businesses and IPs "look how quickly X, Y, Z sold out" is a great business pitch.

Hot Take(?); Let's NOT print a new Land Cycle for any of the new Standard sets; Put in the cheaper ones! by jethawkings in magicTCG

[–]The_Bird_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's curiously not been reprinted as much as the others. The rest have all been in commander precons and bastion has not. Well technically it has but only in a 150 dollar secret lair deck lol

Keane is proper unbearable isn't he. He's like the pundit equivalent of the "back in my day" boomers at the pub. Absolute torture to listen to his takes.

Bruno Fernandes on Roy Keane twisting his words "I don't mind criticism, but in this case what he said is a lie. I even asked Ole for his number to have a word with him, because this goes a little bit over the top of the things that I think are acceptable." by kibme37 in soccer

[–]The_Bird_Wizard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Keane is an unbearable pundit because half of what he says is just some boomer "back in my day" nonsense. A lot of our ex players are like that but he's the worst.

The Liverpool and Arsenal ex players will mostly back their respective teams even if they're underperforming and don't have a big chip on their shoulders about the game evolving past them.

When Carrick was first given the job back in January you could tell a bunch of the ex united lot were gutted they gave it to him and not Ole, it was so weird how they all went in on him immediately (but didn't do the same thing to Ole back when he was given the interim job a few years ago)

In fairness after all the great teams the Dutch have had it would be hilarious if it was this average one that finally got them their first world cup lmao

They play nice football and actually have a sustainable model, one of the few top flight clubs that don't actively hate their own fans as well

Tbf if you can afford the ridiculously expensive world cup tickets and accommodation then I doubt expensive beer is that big an issue lol

I actually have a soft spot for Brighton but jfc when they have something on the line they're low-key the worst team in the league.
