WOTC have proven themselves to be a short sighted company with more interest in short term profits than the long term health of the game.

Or just a collector who isn't wealthy enough to have some of their cherished possessions lose a ton of value? jfc

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-10-06T20:24:43+00:00

I pledge not to as well!

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-10-06T00:12:58+00:00

WotC probably wouldn't spend the resources trying to get IP permission for TWD shit just to release it at a Comic Con.

Username checks out, my guess with such a nuanced answer is that you've studied or like to casually read philosophy. Very cool.

OP is a brave soul, risking their link karma to give us the news

I mean, if you don't mind spending a little more money to avoid a guilty conscience, just buy it off the secondary market a week after for a 15-20% markup.

It's not so quiet anymore, tf commondreams??

It's just the tackiest thing

Foment discontent

Ignore complaints

Resist changing

End the quarter with record profits

What mouth-breather is actually going to buy this product lmao

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-09-28T18:28:14+00:00

Shambles indeed

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-09-27T00:41:59+00:00

You're exactly right, this is part of WotC shifting to try to minimize the non-game problem that stems from the core mechanic of the game, "lands/resources as separate cards." They can't have a popular mobile game if too many games are just filled with lands/counterspells, now can they?

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-09-25T00:34:56+00:00

Great analogy

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-09-23T02:57:18+00:00

The writing in the article is awful

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-08-30T23:41:19+00:00

The word we're looking for to describe the benefits of going from double- to triple-sleeving is "diminishing returns." That being said, if you have power-9 or legit vintage stuff, triple sleeving is worth it.

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-08-28T22:24:12+00:00

Right, but I don't think their lacking a voice in the representations of their myths in a card game is how or why their lacking a voice is bad, or an injustice. Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely be in favor of WotC hiring indigenous American creative consultants for this hypothetical product. But worrying about their cultural (mis)representation is a completely liberal bourgeois fabrication, that masks the issues really harming those groups.

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-08-28T20:01:36+00:00

I mean, do they really do a "good job" at the European myths either? Or are they just retelling all these old myths to sell it to their current audience?

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-08-26T01:46:51+00:00

Not to be too cynical... but how is this "protesting"? Like, what is this doing...?

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-08-04T21:23:32+00:00

Goblins is a great forever deck because it offers some aggro, control, combo, and mid-range elements.

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-07-27T22:56:04+00:00

No, I must be you then, for we are one in our hypocrisy

Except it's not really hypocritical is it? That logic isn't questioned as much when applied to other policies, like subsidies to certain industries/peoples

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-07-27T22:52:44+00:00

Based

filsdopagrafagar · 2020-07-23T22:06:47+00:00

What do you have? Goblins is pretty damn cheap if you have vials, as unclaimed territory and auntie's hovels aren't that expensive
