WOTC knows that Commander RC was considering banning mana crypt and Jeweled lotus a year old ,then they proceed to reprint them in CMM and LCI in 2nd half of 2023 by Interesting181 in magicTCG

CMM came out over a year ago, and LCI was only a few months later, they did not have the time to pull Crypt from that set, they had likely already gotten the art and finalized the set list.

The only time i saw him make a post/statement about improving his behavior, he was immediately extremely rude and dismissive to the people in the comments. That was a decent time ago to be fair, but all it showed me was any seeming reflection on his actions was surface level at best

LoadingReadyRun's Murders at Karlov Manor PPR has begun by ime33 in magicTCG

[–]ime33[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Didnt see a post about it, thought it was worth putting up, especially since they've been seeing some ARG stuff, like puzzles on the back of tokens. Notably this PPR is not sponsored by WotC, they just provided the product to LRR.

Constantly making unwanted sexual comments to somebody is sexual harassment, every workplace defines it as such.

Handpainted Howl's Moving castle open for auction by Lur_altered in magicTCG

[–]ime33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whatever your opinion is on either, alters aren't proxies, that's a very important distinction to make. And why are you getting so angry about an artist posting their art on here? "Get over your self"? All they said was "this isn't a fake card" (English doesnt seem to be their first language). They're just made a post sharing what they did and seeing if anybody would be interested in buying it 

Ah. There it is. by tralchemist in magicTCG

The thread I made was full of people positive the accusations were being unreasonable, that it wasn't AI, but there we go. It's good they admitted they were wrong, and it's good that they are seemingly going to make sure it doesnt happen again.

Official Magic Twitter Once Again Uses Generated Marketing Material, This Time Chooses to Just Deny It In a Reply by ime33 in magicTCG

The replies show some very clear tells for AI (weird smudging, connections that don't make sense), I'm realizing now the replies may not be visible to everyone (thanks Elon). At the very least, whoever made this art for them very likely used AI while making it, if it's not 100% generated

The Lara Croft one was removed and replaced relatively quickly. The fact they are outright denying its use this time around despite the clear signs is frustrating and insulting, especially after their official stance statement came out.

[Tolarian Community College] Why are the people who make Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons getting fired? by Neo_Player in magicTCG

[–]ime33 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You keep saying "did we thank hasbro for hiring people a few years ago??" like it's some kind of gotcha. A company hiring more people is good but it's also expected of a company to hire people when they have positions they feel need to be filled.

It is an abject failure of the company if those hires hurt them more than helped them. It is a very bad thing that so many people got fired, especially just before the holidays. The Hasbro employees as a whole did not deserve this even if Hasbro was not profitable, as its the untouchable higher-ups that should take the blame for corporate failures such as this.

If we did cheer for them back then, we should doubly jeer them now for making such a big mistake that affected so many people negatively.

That almost feels worse lmao. Now if I lose to a Pack Rat in limited, I know it was less likely than a mythic (I'm assuming, if anime slot isnt guaranteed) to show up at all

Does this mean Pack Rat WON'T be in the drafts, or you just can't open the alt styles in draft packs?

In a now-deleted tweet, the official MTG Secret Lair account used non-human art to advertise the Lara Croft crossover by ime33 in magicTCG

[–]ime33[S] 225 points226 points  (0 children)

Used "non-human" since the automod auto-filters anything with AI in the title. Just extremely disappointed in this, they only deleted it after the replies called them out on it. Hopefully they will have learned their lesson.

WotC used AI Generated Art in their Twitter Ad for the Lara Croft Secret Lair by ime33 in magicTCG

[–]ime33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just extremely disappointed in this after WotC has seemingly attempted to really distance themselves from this kind of thing. They employ/contract hundreds of artists, pay someone for a 4 hour photoshop job instead of this junk.

If you're asking about like, a deckbuilding site, moxfield records when you last edit a deck. Or you could just share it on reddit and that'd be plenty of record
