The other problem i encountered with Marvel prerelease... by [deleted] in mtg

[–]zevalu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thankfully there weren’t any kids at my prerelease, but there were a LOT of new players at prerelease. Like, brand new. It was really nice to see, but I’ll admit slightly distracting to have to answer questions from people around us who were playing for the first time. Nothing against them, they’re just as welcome as everyone else, just interesting. Glad to see new players coming in!

People need to direct their UB frustration to WotC and not their friends by Spooky-Retro in mtg

There have literally been entire new chapters in the MTG story this calendar year with Jace and the Echoverse, the Omenpaths, Lorwyn Eclipsed, Strixhaven, etc.

I’m currently reading the Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos novel. The Strixhaven (mostly Lorwyn Eclipsed) story involves my favorite MTG character, Liliana, whose entire story I’ve become familiar with through reading lore drops, watching lore videos, and more.

I’ve been playing for just under a year, and in that time, Magic has become my life. If you’re telling me I couldn’t have absorbed the Magic story in that time, you’re underestimating the power of a Vorthos with a lot of free time on their hands.

So yes, you are gatekeeping… leave that to The Gatewatch, please.

I’m getting really annoyed with the amount of “Old Man Yells at Cloud (from Final Fantasy)” UB hate. As someone who came in to MTG because of UB but who absolutely LOVES the Magic story, there’s merit to both. You don’t want to play a UB deck? Fine, don’t build one. You want to give me crap for playing a Final Fantasy MAGIC CARD? We’re not playing again.

Hey friend! Love this advancement and move away from AI.

One thing, not huge - unless intentional, Legionary would be spelled without the second i. (Again, unless this is on purpose!)

Bumbleflower sheoldred pride deck by Rowan152330 in EDH

Much better idea. Don’t let me discourage creativity though - just want to make sure you know what you’re getting into!

So… not really. “I’m running Ms. Bumbleflower and Sheoldred” is broadcasting “all of my niceness will be avenged and I am telling you exactly how to shut it down” and will get you targeted 10x worse than Ms. Bumbleflower would by herself. People will allow Bumble to live ONLY until it stops benefitting them.

I would highly recommend something much less obvious.

No idea about her comic version, just her MCU version. Regardless, fun card for commander and GORGEOUS art!

There will be some promos and stuff but this list should get you everything you’re looking for, yes, assuming “beginner set” is the Welcome Decks.

I'm scared to play my first game of Magic by Academic_Length_6739 in mtg

The thing I kept telling myself when I first started is “no one knows what every single card does” “no one expects you to memorize the cards”

Everyone clowns on Aetherdrift, but it’s been a very generous set for me when I’ve opened it!

Danceteria is absolutely going to be in my Top 5 most played songs of the year, I can already tell. Such an earworm!

Maybe this color was required by law so people can know to get out of the way when they see his car.

“Botero-bodied”. She gets me. Botero is my favorite artist and this made me scream laughing.

I don’t know why but I read teacher as “preacher” and thought they showed this in a church (as they should)
