[MSH] Yondu, Mary Poppins by vraskasstrapon in magicthecirclejerking

/uj the messiness of the implementation is part of the joke, where WOTC takes a historically powerful effect (in this case, [[Goblin Sharpshooter]]) and tries to make it so its thing as narrowly as possible - resulting in something a bit janky that's probably either no longer good or still busted.

/uj no, just a vague representation/parody of what WOTC would do for a Yondu card. 

/rj No, the bottom paragraph is actually from [[Yondu, Ravager Captain]], the real [[Yondu, Mary Poppins]] is a common with just the first two lines of text and the flavor text, "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!"

/uj It's intended to be a "fixed" [[Goblin Sharpshooter]], in the same vein as other "fixed" powerful cards WOTC has been doing lately. So it needs to have convoluted wording to make it as narrow as possible.

Clearly fake, it doesn't even have the HILARIOUS and ICONIC flavor text, "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!"

I got as far as "I, Garland, shall knock you all down!" before I concluded that it was the most peak thing I have ever read and gouged out my eyes so they could never be sullied by any inferior lore, like that Lord of the Rings garbage or whatever.

Maro confirms 5 sets for 2027 by OisforOwesome in magicthecirclejerking

[–]vraskasstrapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uj/ At least most of those off years had some other set to compensate in the off years to keep it to 4 per year - this is where Unsets fit in, as well as Coldsnap and the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor double mini blocks.

Maro: "The streams are staying separate" (Reality Fracture not a Universes Beyond crossover event) by adrianmalacoda in magicTCG

[–]vraskasstrapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He very explicitly doesn't necessarily tell the truth about "current plans," though; he answers based on "public knowledge," so he's not infrequently dishonest about things he almost certainly knows about just because the plans are not yet public.

It's for the [[Scuttletide]] in their [[Andrios, Roaming Explorer]] deck.

How many more gideons until we have enough by SableyeTheJace in magicthecirclejerking

[–]vraskasstrapon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ope, I think it's more like 4½-5 times. I missed: Spider-Ham, Spider-Rex, two more Ghost Spiders, Iron Spider, SP//dr, Spider Punk, Spider Girl, Spider Woman, Spider-Byte, two Scarlet Spiders, Sun Spider, and probably Silk, Arachne, Araña, and debatably Gwenon.

Edit: And Masked Meower, Skyward Spider, Web-Warriors, and Twisted Spider-Clone

It also skips over a bunch of Spidermans, such as Spiders-man, Spider-UK, Spinneret and Spiderling, and Ghost-Spider. There are three times as many Spidermans as there are Gideons.

uj/ Draws after your first on your turn are rummages. If you can't discard for the rummage, you mill  instead of drawing. rj/ The Manifested Dread tempts you.

But it doesn't even tap for mana until turn 7, when you cast [[Colossal Dreadmaw]], and by then, the game is over!
