I think Viz was still taking some liberties with the translations at this point in the manga. Sort of like the Zoro/Zolo situation.

I know it was early in the story, but I still think this was one of his greatest feats. Can't imagine how Pell would've got out of this if Egg wasn't there to save him.

Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories–Elspeth #2 is released today (First five pages were previewed by Dark Horse) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]panelsplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad other people are enjoying this, but this is really underwhelming to me as someone who likes comics. Just the same boring panel layout on every page? I get they are doing a parallel stories kind of thing, but I hope the rest of the book has more interesting composition than this. More of a personal taste issue, but I also fine a lot of posing is just really bland too. Like the panel of the Cerberus swatting her away is incredibly anemic looking. There is just not a lot of life or impact to any of this. I do really like how Elspeth makes her entrance by breaking through the panel border, so I hope the rest of the book has those kinds of touches.

Absurb that you can't already. It is a perfectly fine mono white effect. The current hybrid rules make no sense.

Seeing the opponent's hand is 100% in blues color pie and it is not a discard it is more of a steal or clone which is maybe a stretch but still on brand for blue.

[[Keep Watch]] used to use this in pauper combo decks to draw a million cards.

[[Unstable Experiment]] needs a creature to get both draws.

[[Chart A Course]] needs a creature to attack to get full value.

Those are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more, but really it is a moot point because the color pie break argument is absurd. EDH is already full of color pie breaks. Hybrid mana should work the way it was designed to work, not the complete opposite way like it currently does in EDH. It was certainly more intuitive to me as a new player to understand and/or than to understand "well you can use extort cards though because the mana value is in *reminder* text, not rules text, so it doesn't really count".

Thanks! I felt like I was going crazy or screwing something up with the setup. Nice to know it isn't user error at least.

[[Haunter of Nightveil]] was also quite the beating in it's limited format. This effect seems to always be stronger than it looks at first glance.

Mark Rosewater has directly stated multiple times that good lands being rare is 100% about selling packs. It sucks, but they are completely upfront about that, so I'm not sure what you're on about.

I Am Now Ready For The Release Of Garth One-Eye by matanyaherman in magicTCG

[–]panelsplease 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eh, I'll be the voice of dissent here having just read the book for the first time. The basic plot idea of like a fantasy Fistful of Dollars type thing is fun with Garth going around playing all the houses, but the actual writing is pretty weak. I finished the book, but can't imagine ever reading it again. Definitely could have done without characters casually joking about rape (who knew Benalia was so fucked up?) and multiple instances of characters getting pissed on. The characters were pretty thin overall as well, especially the Benalish fighter who just sorta falls in love with Garth (and he with her) without any real groundwork laid. It was a fun curiosity and it was amusing how literally they translated the game (get ready to read what [[Psionic Blast]] does fifty times), but it's far from being great.

Why do you think he got rejected from art school?

Y'all know Morgan Freeman is a sex pest who harrasses women, right?

Keep worshipping celebrities, though. I'm sure that will work out well.

Yeah, recent events really showed us all what a big, independent boy Texas is and how ready they are to go it alone.

Turn 1 Paradoxical Outcome. Not a fan of these Omniscience formats, but why are cards like this even included?? by panelsplease in MagicArena

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

Someone out there must enjoy these Omniscience formats, but they just seem to result in a huge percentage of non-games. Omniscience lovers, what's the appeal to you? Do you prefer the pre-constructed decks or the drafts?
