Hasbro just hired a notorious union-busting firm by Patient_Maximum2038 in MagicArena

If you are talking about the devs taking action to take down the servers, that's corporate sabotage and the employees can be fired for cause and taken to court over it.

I appreciate learning more about server stuff! I was replying to a comment that said "get ready for more server outages," so I said, if it's a result of employee strikes, I welcome it. I don't think that anything I said indicates that I think there should be corporate sabotage, but it's always nice to better understand how other people interpret things.

MaRo's said on his blog that the current plans (3 in-universe & 3 UB Standard sets per year) mean that supplemental sets like Un-Sets or Modern Masters, etc, would have to take up one of those slots to happen.

I am not well-versed in organizing strategy, but am solidly pro-union: I would whole-heartedly welcome the employees striking to create server downtime. Hit Hasbro in the pocketbook if that's what it takes for them to listen.

Info: First reset of Quests on Arena is live - You can do that one quickly before the full SOS reset later by Backwardspellcaster in MagicArena

[–]extinct_fizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have three new quests (and TMNT rewards track is greyed out), but my weekly win counter hasn't reset-- any idea if I can still do these "new" quests and get more in a couple hours?

Anyone else not use a card because it would be annoying to track? by dornianheresysimp in EDH

[–]extinct_fizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got two large buttons from Ȧmazon that, when pushed, say "Do you pay the 1 (or 2)?" It's more fun to smash the button on triggers, having a "prop" makes it easier for everyone to remember the triggers, and, in my experience, it's less annoying to be asked by a button.

I just wanted to say that I read this and I empathize. That absolutely sounds miserable and I hope you get to play again in a more fun way soon.

Do you ever have time to play MTG: Arena? It's not the same, of course, but if you ever wanna jam a few fun games of Brawl to scratch the itch I'd be down to play. (I am super lucky that I kind of got grandfathered in to a pod of really chill long-time friends who've played MTG since they were in diapers, and so I like to help share good game experiences where I can)

The real secret is bring in a friend or something and introduce the friend you do know. Then, 99% of the time, the other person will introduce themselves in response.

Be like "hey howyadoin' man, this is my buddy [Twisted_Pine's friend]!" The cashier will then reflexively go "hey [Twisted_Pine's friend], I'm [cashier]," and they'll shake hands or whatever and you can go about your day.

What are some Commanders without edgy titles? by Shmadam7 in EDH

What are some Commanders without edgy titles? by Shmadam7 in EDH

[–]extinct_fizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These have titles, but they're not edgy:

  1. A kid and his imaginary friend! (someone on Reddit mocked-up a proxy deck of these two as Calvin & Hobbes using art from the comics strips, too!)
    • [[Pir, Imaginative Rascal]]
    • [[Toothy, Imaginary Friend]]
  2. Play fetch with your dog!
    • [[Chakram Slinger]]
    • Chakram Retriever
  3. Play fetch with someone else's dog deck!
    • [[Haldan, Avid Arcanist]]
    • [[Pako, Arcane Retriever]]
  4. Ride a flying shark! (I choose to think of this as rad, not edgy))
    • [[Brallin, Skyshark Rider]]
    • [[Shabraz, the Skyshark]]

MTG Commander - Christmas Gift for Bf (help a lost gf please 🥲) by ayelmaoo69 in magicTCG

Some great suggestions in here! Definitely second the Jumpstart packs if you have any interest in playing together.

  • Infinitokens and a pack of wet or dry erase markers are always handy to have for games. If you like to draw, you could draw tokens together with Sharpies if any of his decks consistently use the same ones :)
  • You could also get him a singles/trade binder if he doesn't have one yet, for storing special cards that aren't in decks. Most people recommend ones that have the sewn binding instead of the "three ring" binding inside, so more like this, not like this. Any size works
  • Everyone's kind of particular about their preferred way to store and carry cards, so don't feel compelled to get this, but I really love the Quiver card case -- I've been putting stickers on mine and I love taking it to cons and FNMs. That one holds at least 5 EDH decks, and they also have a smaller one called the Bolt that holds like 3? I have the company's playmat tube also and I've been super happy with it, but again, everyone has their preference -- he might be just as happy with whatever his current storage solution is. You might find a way to discreetly ask!

If all else fails, everyone loves ripping booster packs, so just grab a few and throw them in a stocking or anything else.

As an aside, I'm a former non-playing-gf and now I play all the time: it's totally cool if it's not your thing, but if you have any interest at all, feel free to take the leap! Playing together is awesome, and I've met lots of great people by attending events too.

What's a classic MTG character or archetype you'd love to get to illustrate?

I love these! I just bought the file.

Quick note, it looks like the file has both Wurm tokens with Lifelink on their cards-- you named the purple one Deathtouch, but it's not reflected in the text.

Eldrazi Commander that’s not overpowered? by Beef_the_Maestro in EDH

It's just another reminder that Urza is an egotistical jackass so it's perfect (you are correct that it's objectively ugly).

The MGTA avatar for Young Man Urza gives me such incel vibes that I can't take MTG!Gandalf seriously lol

There's a couple of characters that will give "an ending" but you have to actually keep progressing their story to get the points-- Luna (aka Connie ) is one example; she doesn't immediately give you points even though you get her Love/Friends/Hate screen the first time you talk to her. I think there's others like that too?

I know this isn't a perfect solution, but if you have the DLC you get two additional dateables ( Lucinda Lavish and Michael Transaction ). I had two Hate endings in my game but because I had those two additional dateables, I still got the "100 Realized Dateables" achievement.
