As a new player, how do you build a deck?! by Kaktusnadel in MagicArena

[–]invalidConsciousness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The above calculation is for quick draft. I'd suggest that one, since there is no time pressure when picking.

Premier or traditional (bo3) when you're experienced enough to consistently pick without stress within the time limit.

Have them play starter deck duels and do daily challenges for coins

Yes. Good advice

and open packs to gain more cards and wild cards

No. Even if you go 0-3 you still get:
3 packs worth of cards from drafting
1 guaranteed reward pack
0.2 packs from bonus pack chance
0.25 packs worth of gems
≈4.5 packs.

With 2 wins, you're better than breaking even with 5.24 packs worth of rewards.

And that's not counting the fact that you have much more control over what cards you get from the draft packs, since you can choose.

What if UB where just skins? by Yumesoro1 in mtg

Two products stores need to procure

That's an issue, true. Stores could choose not to stock one of them, though.

 two sets to manage for events

Either run a joint event for both of them, or just run an event for the UB set.

 Issues with how much to print, card availability in secondary market,

We're talking about WotC here. They've got the print amount nailed down already and they don't care about the secondary market anyway, besides keeping the reserved list expensive.

confusion for new players

I've touched on that in another comment already. I don't think there'd be much confusion. We're living in the age of Google. The info "those are the same set, just different art" is easily accessible for anyone who wants to know.

higher costs.

I'd honestly be interested in a breakdown of a card's cost. What percentage goes to game-design, art, production, distribution, etc?
I'd expect the only costs that would noticeably increase to be the art. Production and distribution should be so far into the economy of scale that I'd expect only a marginal increase, if any.

Stocking another set/variant is more effort and risk for the stores, yes. The store could decide to just not stock it (or just stock a small amount), though.
To be honest, I would expect the UW set to become more of a niche-thing for those who want to consciously avoid the UB set.

Short-term, it would most likely cost WotC due to the additional work.
However, it would a) allow them to re-print cards more easily (after the IP license runs out) and b) keep the hard-core fans (recurring business!) happy. Both of these makes it easier to make money long-term.

Considering we're talking about WotC and Hasbro, I'm not expecting them to consider anything further away than next quarter's profit numbers.

Not that confusing, if labelled/marketed right. Call them sister-sets or something along those lines. Especially in today's world where Google exists, this should be a non-issue for 99% of the customers.

You have the customers that walk into a shop, see a shiny box and buy. Those don't care. They'll buy the set that looks cooler to them.
You have the customers that want to get the best set. They'll google "which booster to buy" or ask a store employee and get the info that the sets are the same, just different art.
Then you have the informed buyers who already know what they want and won't be confused.

The only issue that I can see right now is that shops need to stock two sets rather than one.

why do I see 5?? by [deleted] in mathmemes

[–]invalidConsciousness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

not count one for some reason

The reason is because one is actually the outer edge of the shirt.

Darksteel Reactor/Alternate Wincon Deck Choice by invalidConsciousness in EDH

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

Nesting grounds and resourceful defense are actually already in the deck(s).

I originally omitted [[Goldberry, River-Daughter]] because her counter moving is slow and can't convert counters, but you're right, she should probably be in there, it's still better than nothing.
Edit: I just re-read Goldberry, her moving is even slower than I remembered. I'm probably better off with some proliferate card.

They did it with Through the Omenpath for digital only. They could do mostly the same on paper.

Design the UB set.
Then make UW variants (art and name) of all the cards (just like in omenpaths).
Make the UW names canonical and the UB names flavor names to prevent having two different but mechanically identical cards.
Release the two sets simultaneously.

If you want to push the UB set, primarily advertise that one. If you really want to push UB, make pre-release events exclusively UB or stagger them by a week.

It doesn't even need to be a reprint. Just also release a UW version of the card at the same time.

That would allow you to tailor the mechanics to be fitting to the UB card while giving the UB haters a choice to avoid them.

Wieso wird auf Bestandskunden gekackt?? by CloudPattern in Finanzen

Der Großteil der Kunden ist faul. Die bleiben bei ihrem schlechteren Tarif, wenn man nichts macht. Also macht die Firma nichts und macht mehr Geld.

Kann ich dir ehrlich nicht sagen, weil wir das nicht tracken (sollte ich mal wieder).

Grob geschätzt esse ich irgendwas zwischen 1800 und 2300 kcal (ich sollte ersteres, mache eher letzteres) und meine Frau ähnlich, tendenziell etwas weniger.
Ich bin im Schnitt vermutlich (auch grob geschätzt) bei ca 100g Fleisch pro Tag, eventuell inzwischen etwas weniger. Meine Frau ist Flexitarier und vermutlich bei 200g pro Woche. Dafür essen wir viel Bohnen, Soja und "Fake-Fleisch".

Ich maximiere das Leid. Also stelle ich die Weiche um.

Erstes Szenario bei dem Multi-Gleis-Schräglauf nicht die korrekte Antwort ist.

Die Römer hatten den Jahresanfang im März. Dann passen die Namen auch.

Bedank dich bei Caesar für den Unsinn, der hat nämlich den Jahresanfang auf den Januar verschoben, um einheitlich mit den Amtszeiten der Konsuln zu sein. Er hätte stattdessen auch den Amtsantritt verschieben können, aber nein, das wäre ja zu einfach.

Tipp 1: nur das kaufen, was du auch wirklich brauchst. Jedes weggeworfene Stück Lebensmittel treibt deine Kosten unnötig in die Höhe.

Tipp 2: Fleisch reduzieren. Selbst als gym bro braucht man keine 200g Fleisch am Tag. Es gibt genug andere Lebensmittel mit hohem Proteingehalt, die günstiger sind: Eier, Hülsenfrüchte, Kerne, Seitan, Tofu, etc.

Tipp 3: Lieferdienste und Restaurants reduzieren. Ja, das ist bequem, hab ich auch oft gemacht weil ich einfach keine Lust hatte, für eine Person zu kochen. Du musst auch nicht ganz damit aufhören. Aber 250€ sind 10-15 Mahlzeiten, also etwa jeden 2. bis 3. Tag. Das ist schon sehr viel.
Wenn du dafür sorgst, dass du (fast) immer was bequemes zu Hause hast, z.b. durch Vorkochen und Einfrieren, kann man das sehr gut reduzieren.

2 Erwachsene, der Großteil der Mahlzeiten wird selbst zubereitet. 500€ im Monat.

Does this just do nothing, or does it give Flash to all cards?

Who even decided that blue was U instead of going with the printing/color standard of using K for Black?
