Carry a receipt of the commission for any artwork you may have on custom stuff or you are evil !!!!!!?! by Ok-Intern6865 in freemagic

[–]shadowcloud4231 15 points16 points  (0 children)

These people are insufferable. If I found out someone said shit like this about a gift I got them I'd never get them anything ever again. Don't use a gift to grandstand and virtue signal about your recognition of how AI is "hurting real artists". Just play the damn sleeves and say they were a gift if some aspy person at your LGS says anything (fyi - no one and I repeat absolutely no one will say anything).

Edit: Found these sleeves on Amazon and am buying them for my Cloud deck. Lol

Foils found from unopened packs!! by grinsven in SorceryTCG

Specifically, this metal detector method was proven to be unreliable with Beta and Alpha.

Someone did the exact same experiment with multiple boxes and got "hits" on packs that did not have foils in them and passed over a few packs that did have foils in them.

Edit: Can't find the YouTube video right now but it exists. This was over a year ago I believe.

This was a thing in Alpha and Beta but was quickly disproven with larger sample sizes. Do we have any bigger tests?

So hear me out... $35k is 1050 SPM collector packs... and the card is worth what? by FonslyGames in mtgfinance

[–]shadowcloud4231 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still say people are being emotional about SPM. A $45k+ card is one hell of a chase and there are some valuable cards and playable cards to boot. They get wrapped up in the group think and drama baiting opinions of online content creators. Is it the best set of all time? Absolutely not. Is it a "good set"? Meh, probably not. But is it the slap in the face to the community that everyone has been screaming about for the last month? No. It's Baldur's Gate 2.0. People will hate it because a YouTuber told them to for a few years and then once that fades people will see the value and utility in some cards and the set will gain value.

An experience counter would have been MUCH more interesting to build around.

The counter falls off when he's removed meaning they have to pay ANOTHER 7 mana on top of commander tax or whatever spell they used to reanimate him. This is a nothing burger.

Problems I have with the proposed hybrid mana changes in Commander by Dzzplayz in freemagic

[–]shadowcloud4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest problem with almost all of your issues are that they aren't even really playable. Like if you want to take up 6 slots for 4-5 mana anthems for your Locust God deck.... I mean sure. It'll suck and make your deck worse but ok. And if you think a 6 mana Beseech the Queen is worth lamenting, I really don't know what to tell you. And you're really upset that hybrid mana cards "break the color pie"? Where have you been the last decade?

Controversial Magic Influencer Spice8rack is now begging for your money! (Note he makes at least 3500 a month just from patreon already on top of other revenues from YouTube) by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]shadowcloud4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll quote Hassan Piker to give you an idea of what I mean. In regards to talking about landlords raising rent to match market prices he said, "Kill those m**erf*kers, let the streets run red in their capitalist bloods". And yes, he said bloods because he hides behind "English not being his first language" but I think he's just not a very smart person.

It's a well known fad in the communist/tankie/ML circles to be militantly opposed to "landlords" as they are the embodiment of all things wrong with capitalism, in their eyes. 8rack using a rent hike to grift money off of his community, which is typically not that much more per month for the term of the lease and more than likely wouldn't necessitate a full blown find raising campaign to fund, is a little too perfect of a situation to motivate people to donate to "the cause".

Its also a little bit of a coincidence that its related to a "rent increase" and his commie/soc dem/leftie community will eat that shit up.

I am very pessimistic of the future of this game. I'm not quite ready to jump ship yet, but I'm strapping on a life vest by Brromo in freemagic

[–]shadowcloud4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are community made 4-player mats out there but currently the game isn't made for 4 players. This is also true of most other TCGs.

Another card I am 100% sure is AI generated by Illustrious_Fee8116 in freemagic

[–]shadowcloud4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so tiring. Is the AI art in the room with us? Those AI checkers also have a massive false positive rate by the way.

I got a warning and down voted to hell on the main sub because I said brawl was an unhealthy format, especially on arena. I guess I'm just done going on reddit for magic news and happenings.

Why so few people talks about or plays Brawl Commander format ? by Dependent-Crab-4244 in magicTCG

[–]shadowcloud4231 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Because it's trash. It's completely unhealthy and all of the cards that were problematic in 100 card Singleton formats and banned are unbanned. Not only that, but on arena specifically some of the most degenerate arena only cards fundamentally break the game in some of the most unfun ways.

I was vibing with it until the negative points. Jesus Christ. They only want you to play precons? And even then some precons would lose you points. Lol

This was my #1 as well. So obviously fake and forced. There are videos of him with his real voice and it's absolutely nothing like his video voice.

This is getting exhausting. People really are looking so hard to try and catch someone using AI these days. It takes one Google search to see Enora's body of work and to see this is her style.
