There's no hidden message about race in this one. The bears aren't the ones fading from history, they're the ones thriving after the works of man have been destroyed. Also them being white probably wasn't even in the prompt, that artist just likes painting white fur (shows up a lot in her personal work.)
I mean I agree with any criticisms of WotC on the subject but I'm just saying that using this card as an example is schizo shit.

100 cards and 2 collectors boosters, soo 120 cards, maybe 10 tokens = 130 cards.

Cost of printing a card = $ 0 . 08
Cost of packaging = $ 1. 10
Total cost to produce = $ 10 . 50

Well, i guess it is cheaper than buying every single card in china man. But if you are not completely new to the game china man would be the best option money wise. (BTW imagine this being a entry point product...)

>>88101254
You're misreading the packaging, it doesn't come with two collector boosters. Commander decks come with a 2-card collector booster sampler which is basically just a random foil rare and a random non-foil rare from the set's collector boosters pool. The 10 tokens is a given for commander decks too, so it's the same amount of cards as the $40 precons before it. The only reason why the Commander Masters precons are getting a price increase is because two of them are paypig tribes (Eldrazi and Slivers) that need to come with expensive reprints in order to be viable decks out of the box.

>>88101387
This is the company that put our an Izzet Phoenix Pioneer deck with two single copies of its namesake cards instead of a full playset.
There will probably be only three reprints worth a damn and a bunch of bullshit, like those Changeling creatures.

Wizards tend to put the good/valuable cards in the products that cost the most, I'll bet that these decks will have great cards in them since they somehow justify that "when the deck costs twice as much as a normal precon it is okay"

how?

>>88101928
>Izzet Delver has been popular for quite some time in Legacy, and it has picked up some notable recent additions, including Dragon's Rage Channeler, Murktide Regent, and Expressive Iteration. While we acknowledge and agree with the many Legacy players who enjoy the play patterns of Izzet Delver and similar archetypes, our data indicates a need to take the win rate and popularity of the deck down a notch to allow for more metagame diversity and innovation. Our choice is to ban Expressive Iteration, as the card quality and quantity it provides allows Izzet Delver to easily adapt to stay on top of any changes in the metagame.

>As with the last update, Modern continues to be in a healthy spot, with plenty of different viable archetypes and a relatively flat spread among the top decks' metagame shares. Izzet Murktide is currently the most popular archetype in competitive play, but not by a large margin, and the deck isn't showing a concerning win rate. As of now, things are looking good, but as always, we'll keep our eyes on the Modern metagame as more high-level competitive play unfolds in the future.

tl;dr is, according to their data (which we can't have access to, lmao) delver needed to take a hit in both win rate and popularity, so they banned EI because they were abusing it as a card selecton/card advantage spell, in modern, their data doesn't show any need to address murktide, which is the most popular deck abusing EI, therefore EI wasn't banned

That's Yawg in the Thran empire, he escapes to another plane after its found out he is an eugenics Chad. He makes the plane into basically of version of hell from Dante's inferno. It's populated by metal monstrocities who wordship him as God. Then he cocoons himself in the core for 1000s of years till Urza and Mishra wake him up. At this point he's a Godlike entity.

Time spiral block was a parallel universes and time travel set. It had the modern border (8th forward) but some cards with the set had different borders to match their gimmick.

Time spiral - Timeshifted cards : was a separated slot in boosters (and some would appear in theme decks) that were reprints of older cards in the older border but with the timeshifted expansion symbol.
Planar Chaos - Color shifted cards : Cards within the main set that were basically reprints of older cards but in another color and name (same effect, type, "mana cost"(just with other colored mana symbols))
Future Sight - Future shifted cards : Cards with a "new" border (Future border)(one interesting thing is the symbol on top left - there were one for each card type). The ultimate gimmick here was that wotc said that those cards would eventually be reprinted in new sets. (from what i remember it was originally standard set reprints, but now they just reprint them into supplemental sets)

Their paying customers don't have ideologies beyond buying product. They don't give a shit if Aragorn is black or white or a tranny, so long as he's on a Magic card. The people flattered by this are no different than us: a bunch of jackasses on the internet who hate this game.

>immediately ignore and remember that I was sitting opposite of a commander table
I thought that Alesha was a dude who just took his Grammy’s name after passing a clan test as a sign of respect, but apparently that makes him a tranny? Even the wiki claims he is but only gives non-WOTC sites as sources and even then they link to a dead MTG website, so what gives? Has WOTC actually given a passing glance to lore recently and outright stated that, are they ignoring it by playing the foreign market knowing that gay shit doesn’t sell I.E. Chandra and Nissa “totally being lesbians”, or WOTC just dumb enough not to care about lore? At this point if WOTC actually said in the past “yeah, it’s a tranny” I wouldn’t be surprised, or is this another attempt at turning anything feminine and male-adjacent a tranny for self validation?

Once you release the limiters on allowing proxies, what's stopping a group from just proxying the most insane powerful cards in the format? Or is that entirely the point?

>>88107119
don't you already do that? The difference is just how much you pay for those most powerful cards.

>>88107134
I've never used proxies in my life. I only play casual with friends and our system is we only use what we can afford, with a gentleman's agreement not to cuck each other with absurd expensive cards.

>>88107142
So what is the issue?

>>88107149
For them, no charge

>>88107119
My Pauper group started by allowing people to use proxies. After about 6-8 weeks people got bored with top meta decks, found their favourite archetypes and started to buy into those decks with no proxies. It really helps when your favourite format requires you to drop $50 on a deck at worst - most people seem to be fine with this when it comes to their beloved petdecks.

>retro frame goblin guide
>less than a buck
>all other printings are 4 dollars minimum
is this printing illegal to use or something

>>88107272
Well, from a tournament perspective, this one only comes in foil, so you can only use it if all your other cards are foil.

>>88107284
All the copies of goblin guide specifically or every card in my deck

>>88107299
every card in the deck. Foiling causes curles, which can let you cheat and know where the foiled cards are.
That's why when Kess was only available in foil, what they'd do on official tournaments, they'd give you a basic land and scribble "Kess" on it, to use in your deck.
By official, I mean big tournaments, no one cares at your LGS usually.

this is Magic now...? never buying it again. vote with your wallet people.
they keep raceswapping whites to black as if it's not extremely hurtful to black people to again and again be told that they don't deserve original characters. they're basically telling us that they can't risk inventing a new black character because they think he won't gain popularity. gotta piggyback on existing characters.

All I want to see for the future of magic is:
the fall of new phyrexia
wrenn merges with the realmbreaker making wrenn and realmbreaker
phyrexians scour and garruk hunts them (can include the kenriths or whatever for a pseudo kingsman storyline arc)
a new faction of phyrexians emerges from the phyrexia of old (where they worship yawgmoth and pray for his return as a sign of their salvation, blaming the praetors of new phyrexia for it's failure)

oil didn't compleat you. phyrexia wasn't some viral contagion. compleation was the gradual removal of organic matter and replacing it with inorganic matter. basically turning people into cyborgs and then terminators.

the oil is remnants of yawgmoth's mana, much like his tomb exudes black mana turning the land into swamps.

I want to get back into magic. Is going to a phyrexia draft a good idea to get back on track?

>>88105497

>>88107351
No draft is never a good way to get into MtG unless you want to spend a shitton of money on cards that won't even buy you a competitive deck.
If you want to play constructed MtG you should either buy yourself a Challenger deck for Pioneer OR a cheap Standard deck like Mono-U Tempo OR a Pauper deck.

are you an idiot?

the entire point of magic the gathering is the magic that stems from a group of people gathering. it isn't about having your jeweled lotus or force of will or some bullshit. it's about getting together with some people to spend a few hours together. some people are more socialable, and some are on the spectrum, but we can all come together for an evening to draft. 15$~ is a much cheaper entry fee for an evening draft than any of the options you mentioned. so many people jerk themselves off like magic is an investment. sure, maybe if you're a dick hoarding bazaar's so people can't play dredge or whatever. the whole point of magic is the gathering. the allure of the local game store. the smell of cardboard mixed with b-o.

>it's about getting together with some people to spend a few hours together. some people are more socialable, and some are on the spectrum, but we can all come together
Yes, this is how constructed events look like.
>15$~ is a much cheaper entry fee for an evening draft than any of the options you mentioned.
No it's not. I bought my Pioneer precon for $40 and played it with next to no upgrades every single week for like three months for free before buying any +$1 cards. My Pauper deck costs $25 and got no +$1 upgrades for over 2 years now except for new fancy basic lands.
On the other hand you can spend $45 on three drafts and end up with a pile of useless cards once WotC releases a new set so you will have to spend $15 multiple times again.

What gameplay do you like?

Do you ever just find yourself thinking "man, why is everything so gay now?"

>>88104998
Because old mtg got the mix of tech and fantasy just right. The newer sets, even when set in Dominaria, don't seem to be able to depict it in the same way. I can't put my finger in it, but they either look too futuristic or too much like magical wooden toys. Someone who knows more about fantasy art might be able to explain better.

File: file.png (622 KB, 488x680)

>>88104998
it happens

>>88108362
It's because in old MTG. magic was a glue. Things were designed with the idea that magic could overcome limitations in engineering. Things weren't futuristic even though people had access to magic, it's like "what if things were designed around a different power source, a different philosophy?" So rather than our real planes that generate lift through the force of massive turbines that spin with gas, what if you had a ship that sailed on magic winds? This was even reflected in the lore, with all this shit starting because the Thran were fucking with an energy source their whole society revolved around but they didn't understand.
Nu-Magic (and western fantasy in general0 doesn't care about thinking, questions, ramifications, or complexity. They just think "AW YEAH WITH MAGIC U CAN DO ANYTHING" and just make robots with iPod aesthetics.
