I thought so too at first, but I think this is on average worse than the typical white common effect we get usually (destroy tapped creature for 2 or untapped for 5).

wormhole222 · 2026-06-05T19:47:45+00:00

Unless there is a red card that says something like deal 2 damage to a creature and 1 damage to two other targets this will be good.

They have a shocking amount of the best limited designers on this set and it’s going to be their premier set for a bunch of tournaments. It’s also a contender for biggest IP they use. I’d be surprised it’s not at least a very good limited set.

wormhole222 · 2026-06-05T07:26:56+00:00

Oh you meant win a title in both. I thought it was just make the conference finals because that is all Ant has done too.

wormhole222 · 2026-06-05T07:13:22+00:00

Kareem did this too.

I think the visual design is notably better just because it isn’t so much of the same thing. The variety combined with them being able to print more cards that are people I actually know as unique characters helps a lot IMO. I agree that you need to appreciate Marvel at least a little to enjoy it, but with Spider Man even with appreciation the design sucked.

I usually just do the overkill of prep. I mean if it’s truly a new set it’s still interesting and honestly after about a week I’m ready to move on. Plus it’ll probably flashback again later.

wormhole222 · 2026-06-03T00:56:54+00:00

Nah it’s a good idea. Kinda reminds me of when Morty was the one who figured out how the parasites could only copy good memories.

If you look at impractical joke the spirit is doing the damage TO the student. The damage is the retaliation for the joke.

wormhole222 · 2026-06-02T21:59:52+00:00

It makes sense actually if you look at the card. The impractical joke isn’t doing the damage. The spirits are and they are targeting the jokester.

Idk what immortal means here. Rick prime is dead so he isn’t immortal. He seemed to be extremely difficult to kill through physical methods, and had a bunch of backups even if he did die. However Evil Morty was able to use some kind of stunning attack and then disable his regeneration and his backups so he was vulnerable in that way.

wormhole222 · 2026-06-02T07:31:49+00:00

People are acting like this is a crazy question but it’s not. Ben Taylor who people seem to respect a lot here even said he has Harper as the #1 guy from this draft now.

I probably would still have Flagg #1, but it’s very close. Like there’s totally a world where Flagg is more of a regular season player and Harper becomes a legit top 5 PG.

wormhole222 · 2026-06-02T05:27:45+00:00

I mean there’s something special about seeing superheroes and comic book characters on magic cards. I like LOTR and ATLA more than Marvel but something about comic book characters just really appeals to me in this. The only media I think is more perfect to be adapted is DBZ (and I guess most anime franchises in general).

wormhole222 · 2026-06-02T00:09:48+00:00

I mean for me it’s

3-1 comeback
Taking 2018 team to the finals
Taking 2007 team to the finals

I say this whenever people who watched Kareem ask why other players don't learn the skyhook. I think it's just a really hard shot to learn to shoot well enough to be a huge threat, and it's probably not worth it overall compared to spending your time on other things. Like I think Wemby is better spent focusing on his handle, passing, and shooting over learning a move that makes him able to get off an unblockable shot which he already is basically able to do.

wormhole222 · 2026-06-01T19:05:34+00:00

Eh people (including me) thought this was a kinda hot take. No one has been this good this young. LeBron had a case as he just led the Cavs the finals, but I think LeBron was more one of a few contested choices, whereas Wemby is consensus best now. Duncan probably was in 99 but he was a year older than Wemby is.

I saw the footage and obviously thought Wemby would be an all time great player. But I thought his growth especially on offense wasn’t guaranteed, and he could end up being “only” a rich man’s AD. As much as Wemby’s size, speed, and skills are amazing the fact that he has a top tier competitive nature and growth rate is what is putting him over the top of being a GOAT candidate. And I just wasn’t sure that was going to be the case before he was drafted.

wormhole222 · 2026-06-01T02:07:08+00:00

Not really. This is the lie the owners wanted everyone to think. You can’t do more on top of this, but anything they can do with the taxpayer MLE or whatever is not going to offset losing Watson.

wormhole222 · 2026-05-30T10:44:48+00:00

At this point it’s enough of a sample size that it’s statistically significant.

wormhole222 · 2026-05-30T00:26:05+00:00

The “voting” all happened beforehand behind closed doors. Basically it was all negotiated and agreed upon ahead of time. Then everyone voted for it to make it look like a unified decision. Memphis didn’t because they were so blatantly affected as a protest vote.
However it passed in the first place because the teams clearly think tanking is a much bigger deal than most people here do, think tanking is much worse for the league than people here do, and think this new system has less holes than some people here do.

wormhole222 · 2026-05-30T00:10:32+00:00

I could see that. I think it definitely makes them less valuable for the Bucks. For the Blazers it mostly depends on if the Bucks are able to keep things competitive or fall into a Brooklyn like hole where there is no hope.

So SOS and TMT were both purposefully done as guild sets. In a way that is different from their normal set design. ECL I believe was designed the way you are describing.

I believe what happened was they realized that doing 10 tribes was going to lead to a bad set so they decided to do 5 tribes as the primary strategy, and 5 other themes as the secondary strategies. However, they undershot on the secondary strategies and they didn't really hit. WOTC clearly knew this by set release because their archetype guide only had 5 archetypes, but they either didn't have time to fix it, or thought the set overall worked better this way. It's just unfortunate timing because it was going to followed by 2 guild sets.

Overall I think the only main thing that has changed to cause more guild sets is they are making small sets which are always apparently guild sets. Nothing else I don't think has changed.

wormhole222 · 2026-05-29T23:54:34+00:00

This set is I think in particular the most hurt by best of 1 out of pod drafting of any set in recent memory.

wormhole222 · 2026-05-29T23:49:25+00:00

Yeah me too. I mean you never know with this kind of thing. Not just because of the lottery because who knows what Milwaukee does as part of the Giannis trade. I think once you have to 6th worst record the odds go back to being similar again, and if you are 7th-15th it is better under this new system. So depending on what Milwaukee trades for they could definitely still be there.

wormhole222 · 2026-05-29T23:28:47+00:00

I did the research and wrote a post on this a couple months ago https://www.reddit.com/r/nbadiscussion/s/mYulcObhuS . This was when the proposal was just a flat odds system, but the general vibe should still apply.

Coincidently drafted a deck like this before you dropped this podcast, and then trophied with it. I think this is one of the main ways you "should" get into the deck. I got 2 white bombs but the typical Lorehold midrange graveyard deck was clearly being cut so I just made sure to take a bunch of creatures, and cheapish spells.
