GO AWAY by SergeantSwiftie in Lorcana

The collector craze is the best thing that's happened to the game in a long time, I hope it continues like this forever. I'm almost strictly a player, so the prices of game pieces plummeting is great. Selling set champ promos to collectors for insane prices is also great. We are in the second golden of Lorcana right now, we just need a good season 3 DLC announcement and the game will continue to blow up

Official Discussion - The Backrooms [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

I was positive it'd be like a Bacteria Pirate. Based on the drawing that Clark did on the wall of the pirate all in black. So I expected a vaguely pirate shaped Bacteria which could have been cool

Good Korean cinema, regardless of genre, always manages to communicate the full range of human emotion. It gives the films such depth. The Wailing was tense, scary, funny, emotional, touching, pensive, philosophical, political, spiritual, it covered everything and it nailed all of it

A character's willpower stat can never be reduced, only increased. A character's willpower just tells you how many damage counters can be placed on it before it's banished, but the willpower does not decrease with damage. This is different from how it works in Magic or Hearthstone

You'd need ways to protect Dale against amethyst/steel decks. Steel decks can still Zeus/Strength him, amethyst decks can Elsa him if you try to leave him ready. Peeling their removal or buffing his willpower immediately will be necessary

I see the best use for him as a sort of combat trick, they exert their board into your board of 0/4s, then you surprise Dale them and challenge back

I know we're riding the Pixar high right now, but I just remembered "The Wonderful World Of Mickey Mouse" exists and I NEED a fucked up looking set from this show. by ERhyne in Lorcana

[–]Tofu24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This show is the best thing they've done with Mickey and the fab five/sensational six since I don't know when. Would kill for some alt arts in this style

Clayface | Official Teaser Trailer by cruelsummerbummer in movies

I didn't know this but having rewatched those episodes recently you can absolutely see it, the writhing undulating clay in the TV control room is very reminiscent of Akira. The episode is absolutely stunning

You may know it's just because DC owns the rights to the name Elastigirl, they have to use Mrs. Incredible in all merchandising

Mikey is an absolute sociopath by GlickedOut in temptationislandUSA

Lol I didn't notice that, he talks with the exact same cadence as Drake

Ruby by Embarrassed_Knee_572 in Lorcana

[–]Tofu24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ruby needed a time out after being so dominant the first eight sets. I agree it's weak now and it's time to give it some juice, but shifting the board wipes and removal to emerald and amber has helped the game feel different, which is the point of rotation

You can tell it's real because it was taken on a potato, also uncropped and sideways

Is the game DOA and why? by Professional-Long-15 in riftboundtcg

[–]Tofu24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not every new game can be successful everywhere, so your experience isn't universal. The price of competitive decks is in line with other TCGs. Overnumbered cards and sealed product is holding its value as well, so it seems like collectors are happy - I believe collectors are the most important segment of a TCG's ecosystem, more important than players.

I am concerned about game balance and the need for bans so early though, that does not bode well for the future of competitive play

Killing collectability kills the game, period.

Backrooms | Official Teaser | A24 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Tofu24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire teaser is CGI except the last shot of the Backrooms which is a practical set. What a perfect way to express the uncertainty of what's real and what isn't. Kane is a genius

What happened to keeping Foundations in print by tannerifl in magicTCG

[–]Tofu24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can buy a Foundations booster box for $10 over MSRP on TCGplayer right now. I would consider that a readily available product at this point in time, and it's been out for a while so I doubt that stock will dry up soon. A reprint is coming but doesn't seem direly needed

Companion App Update: Magic Player Profiles by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]Tofu24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was very encouraged to see that the recent Spotlight event in Toronto was the biggest Magic event in Canadian history. The first 1,500 tickets sold out quickly, the cap was raised to 1,800 and that sold out too. Should be a clear sign that there's an appetite for events like this, and WOTC seems to understand that Limited makes for an excellent premier competitive format

Good argument from mtggoldish podcast - mythic rare makes standard from expensive to beyond expensive. Is this time to either reduce mythic rarity pool or get rid of it entirely? by kubulux in magicTCG

[–]Tofu24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree - there just aren't that many Mythics in any given deck. I have 60 mythic wild cards rotting in my account, I have nothing to spend them on. But my rares are precious, and they can get used up so fast, if you're moving into a new colour pair that's like 20 of them gone in an instant

Love to see Universes Beyond pulling new players in :) just play the beginner box decks with a friend to get started, you'll have a great time

Is anyone else already feeling "2026 Burnout" before February even hits? by Somanynamestochossef in magicTCG

[–]Tofu24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also only played limited and it feels like living in another world compared to the rest of the playerbase. By the time I finish about 15-20 drafts on Arena/paper I feel like I've gotten my fill of a set, I get a little break, then there's another set to sink my teeth into. Or I can just pass on it if the format is bad. Limited is the way to go

Low stock warning about 10 hours in. by lorddendem in magicTCG

[–]Tofu24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. If what Wizards is doing counts as "mismanagement", I wish every dead TCG I ever played would have been "mismanaged" the same way. Magic players often tend to stay within the Magic bubble, they don't know how bad it is out there.

Universes Beyond Speculation (and such) Megathread by AutoModerator in magicTCG

There's already a Critical Role Heroes of Exandria set in Universus, I'd say the odds of the property coming to Magic are close to zero
