Those fold fast to an early board wipe though.

They can, but I've seen them get so ahead so quickly that boardwipes just stop mattering. Then again it could be I just don't run enough of them.

and really that is still less annoying to me than "did you play a big threat on turn 2? No okay I win because they ditched the block formats so now sets need 2-3 counter spells each now so I can literally just outfit my deck with 20 bad counter spells and I will always have one the moment land 3 drops."

Here's the instigating incident: https://www.channelfireball.com/all...-year-old-packs-legends-antiquities-and-more/
And here's the reddit thread going into more detail about the shadiness of this whole thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/guy997/mythic_markets_is_even_worse_than_you_think/
tl;dr it's basically a ponzi scheme for magic cards where you buy shares of individual cards with no guarantees that you'll ever get anything in return. The whole thing is super shady especially since LSV is a shareholder in the company (something he failed to disclose in the initial video, by accident I'm sure) and it's basically known at this point that CFB is circling the drain and on the way out.

Will Jonathan (@_WillJonathan_) worked briefly as a sports psychologist for my team. Being naturally skeptical, my friend and I researched his qualifications on suspicions we had about his legitimacy. We failed to find any evidence to confirm the degrees and psychology (1/2)

qualifications he claims to have. I feel obligated to share this information while my community is buying into this person’s authority on their title as sports psychologis

Should be mentioned that Magic tournaments from CFB are discontinuing this year.

And a new autistic ban from WotC

 

[usoland]

WotC has banned multiple cards that they believe depict racism.

Following image will be shown in gatherer from now on for such cards.
Way to kill the game faster.

Thankfully these days I just use Cockatrice for MtG.

Jesus. I knew we would eventually get to removing or censoring old cards for some woke bullshit reason, but Jihad, Crusade, and Imprison? What the fuck? Imprison is just a picture of a vaguely brown man with a gimp mask on in some kind of magic bubble. I suppose schools in faggy Washington State don't teach about the Crusades or Middle Eastern history anymore either? That would horribly racist!

What's next MaRo, are you going to make a whole set dedicated to Trans activism to show how inclusive you are? What would you guys name your set taking place on the Trannyplane, fellow Kiwis? I think I would go with Utopia: Savior of the Troons. Since there is some Seattle based tranny organization called Utopia who want to force the world to accept their delusions, and that sounds like something WOTC would donate to and fellate vigorously.

Don't forget to go out and spend $500 on your box of Double Masters guys, you don't want to miss out on the horrendous new box topper art! Oh and now you'll get TWO Pringle shaped Rares or Mythics in every pack do Double Masters! What a steal!

Why teach anyone? That costs money that could be better spent on shiny new cards.

Luckily all of these reprints hurt MtG sales and relationships with stores.

They'll print new cards only black people are allowed to have that force all white people at the table to kneel and beg forgiveness for being alive.

Magic already has those sorts of cards for the "Un" sets so it's not hard to print them to only affect white people

 

[Markorian]

I mean, if you think I'm taking crusade out of my white weenies deck, you can fuck right off. I can't believe Elspeth, the main character of an extremely recent set, is now a canonical racist.
I want to see if they have the balls to ban cards that actually see wider play though, twitter loonies are already going off on Swords to Plowshares, a card that sees massive play everywhere it's legal, and Dockside Extortionist, a rather new commander staple for red. Sylvan Library is one that also gets a lot of buzz, since the original art was done by the same guy that did Invoke Prejudice, and it's a reasonably expensive Legacy staple.

I could see them banning the Ice Age Sword to Plowshares due to the flavour text
"“The so-called Barbarians will not respect us for our military might—they will respect us for our honor.” —Lucilde Fiksdotter, Leader of the Order of the White Shield"
Just due to how these people think.

 

[HumanHive]

These cards were used in altright memes. That's the primary driver here. It's identical to killing off Pepe the frog.

 

[Barracuda Joe]

The main thread on this is essentially all reasonable and well worded backlash, so of course:

Spoiler

We did it fellow mods, we finally memory holed those racist dissenters, lets all gift each other gold till we mutually cum in triumph.

 

[Truant]

I've heard talk of people buying up all of the racist pieces of cardboard and burning them, so no doubt they'll go up in price. Invoke Prejudice is already at $300, up from $250, so who knows how high they'll go.

 

[Opiophile]

Now that the floodgate has been opened, I'm sure there are many many cards that they could target. Not to mention the old staple of "This artist said this, that artist did that." The game was already fucked into the dirt and ruined years ago anyways. At least they can't take away our ability to play kitchen table Magic, unless you live in the CHAZ or some shit, then they probably can!

That already happened Teresa Nielson. A lesbian woman who went TERF or something so they started defacing her cards. (including the original Force of Will)

You're right, I forgot about that. She's made some of the best MTG art ever imo. Although I hate what happened, it was pretty funny seeing the troons chimp out and scrawl ridiculous shit on their cards for no reason. Fuck, talk about a community that needs to be cleansed with fire.

First it's racism and next it'll be sexism and we'll have 'Realistic' looking female planeswalkers waddling around the multiverse.

Fuck the left, seriously. This bullshit is one step away from book burnings. Oh but silly me, there's no such thing as a slippery slope. Also love seeing the massive faggots on SA champion this decision with their usual pretzel logic while calling anyone questioning this act of censorship racist. You can tell it's a bunch of coastal whites agreeing with this just by the amount of "y'all"'s thrown around when discussing the subject.

 

[Spoonge]

It's a shame I cant find a copy of the Elspeth crusade on ebay. I'd love to own one.
I tried to buy the KKK card too but it's going for hundreds of dollars.

Dude /tg/ is going full 'lol stop crying you racist incels' as well. Trying to deflect and downplay the first non-gameplay related ban in the game's history. The Godzilla wuflu card is still playable but these have just been straight up erased.
