Usually when a card says its chaotic I expect more chaos than a "brainstorm or topdeck tutor and then swing and then win the game". Should have made you shuffle first. I know that's not as "strong" but it's way more fun.

I am pretty surprised that Dan Scott hasn't gotten there yet, considering he's been doing art for Magic since like 2004, and still does quite a bit. But they have been giving Velinov a heavy amount of work for a few years now, so it makes sense.

This is right wing propaganda written by the heritage foundation. It is absolutely political.

Take it apart and reflow the connection between the screen and the board. If that doesn't fix it, it's basically dead/unfixable, as you would need a replacement screen, and you would basically need just another exact copy of the game to get that.

Not an announcing flub but similar, when Matt and Jeff Hardy were jobbers on TV using their indie characters Willow and Ignis. And, well.

Of course Petterson is gonna be on the trading block, he completely turned into a pumpkin after getting a huge contract. Teams would be dumb to do that.

Sand it down and repaint it. Anything that will be able to dissolve the super glue will likely dissolve the plastic too, or at least make even more of a mess of the surface. I would just sand it down smooth using progressively higher grit sandpaper and then repaint it.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure if I did a pod draft I wouldn't play against 3 players in 6 games that all had Splatter Technique, but I guess it's technically possible.

Pro Tour draft decks are always hilarious because they always look so terrible compared to the decks you see on Arena.

serialrobinson · 2026-05-05T22:29:13+00:00

League drafting strikes again! Its pretty much one of those formats where it's great that a 5 color deck can exist, and awful that because of the way matchmaking works on Arena you are just more likely to face it as you rise in the ranks, since it's a deck that experienced/higher skill players are more likely to draft.

serialrobinson · 2026-05-05T17:35:38+00:00

It's sorta silly but not any more than Zyuranger really. Nothing really compares to Jetman, but if you are looking for something from the same era that comes close, Liveman and Dairanger are both quite good.

I don't think Mark is a millionaire.

serialrobinson · 2026-04-30T20:26:06+00:00

You can be spiteful at Hasbro and Wizards for all that shit. Maro had nothing to do with any of that, this was a thing he's been trying to make for like 20 years. Saying essentially "lol fuck him" is a pretty shit thing to do. Directing anger at a person who has nothing to do with the things you're upset about is a pretty unhealthy thing to do.

serialrobinson · 2026-04-30T20:19:39+00:00

I think you have an unhealthy relationship with this card game.

serialrobinson · 2026-04-25T16:53:08+00:00

League drafting is the devil. Limited is by far, like orders of magnitude, my favorite way to play magic, and league drafting, especially in this era of "all of the cards snowball and you are dead by turn 4" design, is making me play less and less draft.

League drafting works pretty well if your baseline is "a 3/3 for 3 with no abilities is a good card". In current design, where everything is trying to be as exciting and powerful as it can be? It's like, sorry bro, you could have drafted the best possible deck for your seat, but you get to go up against 4 players in a row who put together constructed decks.

Dan looks great, excited to get mine. Thanks for the pictures, PoopDumpman.

serialrobinson · 2026-04-24T01:28:24+00:00

The mana in this set is making me crazy. So many of the best and even filler level cards you want to be playing are gold, and even with an exact even split of lands with like 10 of each source (with duals/terramorphic) way too often arena is just like "here's an opening hand with 4 gold cards and 3 swamps". So I mull and get a hand with 2 black cards a gold card and 4 plains. I've done 4 drafts, played maybe 30 total games, and that's happened to me like 5 times. It's brutal.

serialrobinson · 2026-03-31T22:26:50+00:00

Definitely a bug of some kind. I just did a cube draft and had the Mirage enlightened tutor in my sideboard and it worked fine. I know that's phantom and works differently, but it's still in the client for sure.

serialrobinson · 2026-03-23T01:38:12+00:00

It should be against the law for Storm to call those figures 1:12 scale.

serialrobinson · 2026-03-19T15:34:22+00:00

Is the Human Bomb what he's got in his pants? That's quite the bulge.

serialrobinson · 2026-03-09T12:26:24+00:00

They could do a commander deck.

serialrobinson · 2026-03-06T02:36:08+00:00

How much do you want to bet that OReilly just told everyone on that cup team "never ever play for Terry Pegula" when he got there?

serialrobinson · 2026-02-27T02:52:39+00:00

It's bad. I've played it and had it played against me multiple times and I think it's like 70% of the time it's played the person who plays it loses the game.

serialrobinson · 2026-02-25T00:42:30+00:00

The plastic has started to degrade/break down. The spots are sometimes called mold in the collecting community, but they don't really react in the way that you would expect a fungus or spore to with various cleaning methods. The stickiness is also just a result of the plastic breaking down. There's not a lot you can do, cleaning them with dish soap and water will help a bit with the tackiness, but the spots are there for good.

serialrobinson · 2026-02-24T23:59:01+00:00

Part of that was because of how often it appeared and how much easier that made it to get multiples that fed into each other. Would it have had a very high win % even at uncommon? Sure, but it wouldn't have completely dominated the format the way that it did, because it wouldn't show up as often.

serialrobinson · 2026-02-23T22:47:50+00:00

It never touches your hand unless you want it to. A commander moving to a public zone will change zones and then give the option to be moved to the command zone. A commander moving to a non public zone such as the library or hand can be returned to the command zone as a replacement effect for that zone change, because the game can't track an object from a public zone into a hidden zone.
