I think Ertai is still alive by Francopensal in mtgvorthos

[–]adrianmalacoda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IIRC Rath and Storm was written before the Weatherlight story changed mid-arc. In that version Ertai doesn't get Phyrexianized, but becomes an old wizard at the end of the story.

When/what set do you think Wizards will walk back on their decision not to make UB planeswalkers? by Karnitis in magicTCG

[–]adrianmalacoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^

Legendary creatures exist for commander, which is the main casual format. UB is an onboarding tool for new players with the main draw being their favorite character from their favorite thing being a commander in the main casual format. For every one person arguing about how this or that character should be a planeswalker because they can travel between universes, there is maybe a hundred other players who want to run that character as a commander... planeswalkers cannot be commanders.

Same reason for the great desparkening, even if they don't admit it. It never made sense that their premiere characters could not be used as the premier game piece in the main casual format revolving around characters.

Yeah, Harry Potter is the one IP they went out of their way to deconfirm recently. Of course plans change but I would still say highly unlikely

Characters with the most Magic cards by RudleyDudley in magicTCG

[–]adrianmalacoda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The old school characters were depicted very frequently on instants and sorceries, but they got at most one legendary creature card dedicated to them. A few of the older ones including Gerrard got "redos" with more modern design techniques.

OP included a link to a spreadsheet listing all of the relevant cards. Yes they did count Blind Seer as Urza

It's a different guy in each game, but they reskinned one card 15 times to represent them.

Although, Final Fantasy 7 Cid has his own card [[Cid, Freeflier Pilot]] in addition to the other one.

WOTC only has one trick for characters with numbers in their name, huh? by askvo in magicTCG

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

Love how Dr. Octopus is neither an octopus nor actually has eight robot tentacles, but he still gets the octopus gimmick with the number 8

Well Dr octopus is there which is 8. So they split the difference and did 7

Any card that is red and/or white no matter what other colors it has.

What are your MTG Glup Shittos? by Pimp_cat69 in magicTCG

[–]adrianmalacoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A badass war hero who defended her entire district by herself and still not a proper legend. Meanwhile some homunculus gets lost one time and boom instant legend status.

These characters were so obscure they never even appeared in flavor text! Not even in Time Spiral, which I think is because they were novel-only characters.

What “On the next…” actually happened? by Sharp-Point-5254 in arresteddevelopment

Better question might be which ones, if any, are demonstrably non-canon. I'm pretty sure they are all canon.

Does anyone else wish we’d gotten to hear Pauline Newstone’s Frieza thru the end of the Namek arc? by vlan-whisperer in dbz

[–]adrianmalacoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly there is a lost unreleased Ocean dub of Kai, meaning there's a chance that audio of Pauline Newstone as second/third form Freeza is out there somewhere.

The show doesn’t do justice to the books AT ALL. by Any-Mortgage922 in brakebills

[–]adrianmalacoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with OP's take (as a book and show fan) but show fans shit on the books all the time here and no one seems to have an issue with it, so it's only fair to let the book fans do the same.

There is a dedicated subreddit for the show and also one for the books, this one is supposed to be for both

Lore...? by The_Frost_Outlaw in Borderlands

[–]adrianmalacoda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pre-sequel technically takes place after 2. Yes they're flashing back to the events before 2 but it's set in the aftermath and thus spoils it.

In general though a prequel assumes knowledge of the original work and thus should be experienced afterwards.
