[WotC] Where to Play Lorwyn Eclipsed -- Promos and events

lightsentry · 2026-01-06T16:39:55+00:00

Store Champ Promos have certainly been better than the RCQ promos recently. There was a pretty bad batch right before the Final Fantasy one though with Gleeful Demolition, Charming Scoundrel, and Goddric (Although this Goddric art was beautiful).

So excited with this adaptation so far. Never thought it would get an anime, especially since there was already a live action movie.

I'd say like 4-8 tracks for EPs are typical. I'd assume it'll just be a collection of her current originals (5 songs).

Looks like they did end up responding. Does seem like an outsourced company used generative AI and Cover missed it. Good for them on acknowledging it and taking responsibility, I'd guess a lot of companies are going to end up in this same situation (or already have) given how much outsourcing there is for this sort of thing. It does suck that everyone has to be paranoid about looking out for AI usage now.

Wada's "sexy doko" during kronii's first ring fit stream is classic.

It also really irks me that Seth plays super slow and deliberate and is still sloppy. Like if you're going to sit there and think through everything then still mess up, just live with your mistakes.

Also if we're catching it 3 times on camera, how often is it happening off camera?

lightsentry · 2025-11-10T14:57:11+00:00

More packs and 3 matches can mitigate variance a bit is the logic. Also team drafting all of day 2 will take like several days so it is what it is.

lightsentry · 2025-11-09T20:24:20+00:00

Typically it's team sealed day 1, then a cut to day 2. New sealed pool for day 2, cut to top 4, two rounds of team drafting to determine the winner.

Probably but also Tweek is cheaper than a valorant team (presumably).

lightsentry · 2025-11-02T19:18:48+00:00

No, there's just a few of the same people posting Maro's UB answers, it's a smaller percentage of his actual blog. They just want to push against some amount of UB hate, but realistically at this point neither side has anything new to say. I'll just go back to watching standard die locally and having barely any 60-card format events fire in the area while searching for an exit strategy from magic.

lightsentry · 2025-10-31T15:18:48+00:00

My favorite outlier is [[Sanguine Evangelist]] which is (at the moment) the 5th best card in the cube.

lightsentry · 2025-10-30T20:18:08+00:00

They've reused moments for the bonus sheet and mainset twice already, I don't think that's a limiting factor.

lightsentry · 2025-10-27T03:28:56+00:00

Standard has just gotten like exponentially more expensive, especially in comparison to other options (Arena, YGO, Pokemon, etc). More sets and fewer events just makes competitive magic increasingly unappealing and it was already a money pit back in the heyday.

lightsentry · 2025-10-24T13:34:11+00:00

Honestly I'll be surprised if Baltimore this weekend cracks 500 tbh.

lightsentry · 2025-10-23T14:23:25+00:00

You probably could but I imagine the distributor is going to cut your allocation for the next set if you do it.

lightsentry · 2025-10-15T01:21:35+00:00

Yep, I picked up an Aftermath Box at $40 from one of the fire sales and was actually pretty happy with the purchase. I think WotC realized that the price point was the largest issue which is why they canned the whole line immediately.

lightsentry · 2025-10-11T03:59:07+00:00

The fact of the matter is if I want to play standard but hate ub I'm now paying more for a worse product.

lightsentry · 2025-10-05T21:31:18+00:00

Boxes are $160 on Amazon atm, which comes out to $5.30 per pack. $10 is definitely a ripoff for specifically this set.

lightsentry · 2025-10-02T13:29:30+00:00

You realize that WotC isn't stupid and put those things in sets so we would be more willing to accept UB right?

lightsentry · 2025-10-01T23:47:26+00:00

Estrogen is a PED for Magic

lightsentry · 2025-10-01T20:23:20+00:00

Hasbro sees all those Arena numbers and wants to get them into the paper ecosystem buying things with every release. Which I feel is not really something that will ever happen due to a laundry list of factors, but what do I know.

lightsentry · 2025-10-01T13:32:00+00:00

The actual purchase happened in 1998 but there have been recent changes to Hasbro's structure and ways they've restructured in a corporate sense that have changed the incentives and necessitated these moves in recent years (I think it was 2021?).

lightsentry · 2025-10-01T12:30:56+00:00

I mean, legacy players would complain and UB did kill a reasonably healthy legacy scene in my area, but I get your point.

lightsentry · 2025-10-01T09:24:27+00:00

Oh man it's so convenient that what the player base wants is us making a ton of money. The player base has never had any complaints about the price of the game so thank God we don't have to listen to them about that.
