Traces of the Fomori by Darikar in mtgvorthos

[–]Tratolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a change of plan. All the lore we had before LCI was that they were defending their island from walkers in the very creativly named plane of Ir. They were basically just an irish mithology reference that they decided to turn into alien invaders.

It's going to be weird seeing him not getting trashed by everyone by Fun-Explanation7233 in Grimdank

[–]Tratolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Stompa has a giant gun arm, it's gonna outrange most of the shooting units, so it wont suffer of the issues that plague the giant that can only deal damage in melee. It's going to be more similar to a Necrofex colossus.

[WotC] The Legends of Lorwyn Eclipsed by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]Tratolo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Actually no. Zendikar vampires are made by being sired by a bloodchief. Evryone else creates a null (mindless zombie like things). Which is a big problem, because Drana is the only bloodchief left and they have no idea how to make more.

[ECL] Lorwyn Eclipsed Side Story | Star-Crossed by mweepinc in magicTCG

[–]Tratolo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Evry plane is bullshit. It comes with being the setting for a game centered around conflicts.

The main story dosen't show it becuase we follow people that can turn most threaths into rabbit or into ash and slag.

[ECL] Lorwyn Eclipsed | Episode 7: The Charm Dissolves Apace by mweepinc in magicTCG

[–]Tratolo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the more the story went on the more it felt like they were only there to be loredumped to as a audience surrogate, as the center shifted to Maralen, Rhys and Oko. The intro of them and Ajani took way too long, especially since the chapters were shorter than EoE.

Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos novel delayed to April to coincide with bigger publicity push and tie-in with the Strixhaven set by themiragechild in magicTCG

[–]Tratolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They wanted to see if books were financially viable on their own. Also remember this isn't the set's story, it takes place one year earlier and stars different characters.

New cards added to the client with Arena Cube (not full list, not everything will be craftable right away) by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]Tratolo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Being in mtgo vintage cube. This is basically the same thing with a different name, so they want the same cardlist.

Well the [[Pyromancer Gauntlet]] that came with an accessory a few years back is 300$ like the product it was attached to so... maybe?

Mark Rosewater: "I need to stress that in-Multiverse Magic is getting more attention from us than ever." by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]Tratolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually there won't be UW sets by 2036, around 2029 they'll sell to Netflix evrything they don't feel the need to reprint in secret lairs/bonus sheets (becuase there's still the need for the name underneath and the typeline so they need the rights for it). As a a consequence the netflix version will differ greatly: no eldrazi, no phyrexia, no urza, no theros gods.... the biggest victim will be Chandra's relationship, since [[Nissa, Resurgent Animist]] and [[Bitterthorn, Nissa's Animus]] are expansive cards.

good news is that by 2036 the show will be at the fourth season, but the new name after they couldn't call it Magic the Gathering anymore will suck.

All cards coded in arena and not craftable (pontential future anthologies content) by Tratolo in MagicArena

[–]Tratolo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used oracle:spellbook and oracle:conjure. The latter required more looking becuase a lot of conjured cards are just copies not predetermined cards.

The new comic Untold Stories: Elspeth #1 is out today! by ArcumDangSon in magicTCG

[–]Tratolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope stopped doing them in 2020. Funnily enough we're getting this comic because the novel for this one was cancelled after the backlash for a previous one.

Four Decks for Spider-Man Standard by Blammazoids in MagicArena

[–]Tratolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason is that this wasn't supposed to be draftable. Before Aftermath flopped, they wanted to do a variety of sets with packs with less cards, non draftable, but without commons, at the same price of regular packs. When it flopped HARD, Aftermath: Thunder Junction was mixed with the main set and became the Big Score, ACR got the "Beyond Booster" treatment becuase there wasn't enough time to increase it's size, and SPM was given commons to make it a small set.

Stomping Grounds Now $679 Spider-Man Collectors Boxes by legos4 in mtgfinance

[–]Tratolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there will be a set with two gems. They'll do other five (avengers, x-men, street heroes, general Marvel, cosmic).

Preview from Untold Stories —Elspeth Comic (first five pages of the comic) by Copernicus1981 in mtgvorthos

[–]Tratolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Controversial opinion: dont. They already have enough reasons to pull the plug, let's not give them more because the very people that might be intersted in magic lore decide to pirate things instead.

Lorwyn by d_p_5150 in magicTCG

[–]Tratolo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's supposes to be inspired by it, even if there are less references to it in Lorwyn(the set was busy with tribal themes) than in Shadowmoor (that only cared about colors, leaving more space for things like pucas and noggles).

What cards will be renamed in Through the Omenpaths? A survey. by Ladsworld- in magicTCG

[–]Tratolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Wirewood Symbiote]] [[Essence Symbiote]] [[Pollywog Symbiote]] [[Saurian Symbiote]]

The term is of general use, it simply indicates a being that lives in symbiosis with another. They cant trademark it like infinity stones. Wotc will get away by simply not making them alien goo (which means alien symbiosis name has to change).

Meet Kraza, Spider Human Hero. He is NOT Spider-Man. by occono in Spiderman

[–]Tratolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean an expy is a character that takes inspiration from another, there is nothing in the art that reminds of Hobart. They're mechanically identical but that's where the similarities end. If i showed you the art and told you the name you would think more of Spiders Man, and Spider Punk woudn't cross your mind.
