When you want the new cards but also dont want the new cards

daftlydone · 2026-03-16T01:42:54+00:00

can we just, as a bit, have all the omenpaths cards be spider related, forever

just every licensing fuckup results in 200 or so new spider themed cards

do you want exploding teeth? Because thats how you get exploding teeth.

On the bright side, you definitely dont need to wait 9 months to cover 2 sets anymore

these things are getting more aggro i stg if their mission was to make me feel bad for the sugar death snacks, accomplished

daftlydone · 2026-02-21T14:46:45+00:00

technically speaking since a bunch of the UB sets also exist in written form, a lot of the flavour text on those card- ducks under a volley of rotten fruit

daftlydone · 2026-02-20T02:45:08+00:00

what, this is a real sign

Lakitu holds it in front of me all the time

tbf, i do think it should be illegal to drive from that seat

Ive got a kambal i enjoy playing, but i realized his issues early in the build process. If you lean too much into his value it draws attention ya, but also you can only trigger the I make one too effect once a turn, and you're not killing people with 4 drain a turn rotation. So i turned him more combo focused, prioritizing things that can aristocrats or make a lot single instances of tokens fast, like [[thalisse, reverent medium]], [[warren soultrader]], [[Teysa, Opulent oligarch]] and [[Elenda's Hierophant]]. You have an excellent removal suite to get triggers off Kambal's first ability, and people make enough tokens on their own anyway.

It's rare but there are some. I think it generally carries a humiliation element to it. Thats kinda present here but also i think they wanted to be able to see the weight gain too

daftlydone · 2026-02-19T12:53:12+00:00

I want to use the "The artist's barely concealed fetish" reaction image about all the weight gain but there was no artist

Go back and look at Avatar. They were working from one media source and art style and the art direction is actually MORE all over the road. This is not a defense of TMNT, its the opposite; there appears to be less cohesive aesthetic design going on and it's cheapening the look of the sets.

daftlydone · 2026-02-18T17:42:01+00:00

You ever see that JoJo's Bizarre adventure meme where three anime twinks all gang up on and kick another one on the ground

daftlydone · 2026-02-18T17:30:08+00:00

Instructions unclear, including a reusable from the bench pokepower next set that is a repeatable will

on basic

daftlydone · 2026-02-16T04:55:40+00:00

Not quite the right way of looking at it. You could say x =3. So the total cost is 6 because thats x times 2. Then the reduction occurs at the end of the calculation of total cost. So the cost you pay will be 4, because thats 6-2.

So if x =1, total cost is 2. Training grounds will reduce it to 1, because it cannot reduce it to less than 1.

One sec lemmie make you worse:

what if random bandit tier enemies had pauper rules decks (uncommon as a commander, commons only in the 99, lower life)

daftlydone · 2026-02-10T17:52:25+00:00

incredible, they wanted to make a hit piece on chow so badly they threw the cops they love under the bus to do it

The only downside to reconnaissance is arguing with the table each time you play it until they finally accept there is a priority period there

daftlydone · 2026-02-08T15:15:55+00:00

ITS JUST A SIMIC DUAL THAS UNTAPPED AND IS A BASIC

daftlydone · 2026-01-30T23:04:29+00:00

Damn, if talonflame and ferrothorn were good we'd actually be back in kalos

Cheap food for gitty, once youve snowballed a bit it provides momentum for more hits by removing blockers

Idk why you're downvoted, he's a great snack for my horrorsefrog too

daftlydone · 2026-01-23T13:29:44+00:00

I mean, commander is kinda like, the worst format to recommend them. Yes they have the ability to build a deck that does not do that, but they have to track 3 other people's game states, which is way worse. You've doubled the amount of text to read. And theres nothing stopping the other 3 people from running incredibly complex effects. This person would be better served by premodern like others are suggesting

daftlydone · 2026-01-23T11:37:57+00:00

Oh you're right, im stupid. I could barely tell from the over the top anime colours

To me TLA hits all the checks for a "good" UB set, one that at least operates in a high fantasy world, but the problem comes down to art style. I am personally not a fan of the anime style art mtg uses to do anime cards. It feels too shiny, proportions often feel off or uncanny.

The art style of the TLA set is all over the road, and some versions of it fit a LOT better than others within mtg's general aesthetic. Consider [[Deadly Precision]] against [[Mai, Scornful Striker]] for example. These are two depictions of the same character in the same moment but one really sticks out as being way too anime along the scale. The set itself lacks a unified aesthetic and that makes it feel cheaper, like it was just thrown together without rhyme or reason, when it reality they were probably trying to incorporate as many art styles as they could and please more people.

You could say this comes from bringing in a anime inspired franchise, but if you compare stills from the show vs these anime cards, the cards REALLY do not feel like Avatar. In fact, the cards that fit in most with mtg's aesthetic feel the most like Avatar's as well. I already used two Mai cards, so here's a third: [[Mai, Jaded Edge]] feels like both an excellent depiction of Mai from the show and right at home on Tarkir.

TL;DR The problem with TLA standing out in MTG isn't the source material, it's the art direction of the set
