It's fun, the art is generally great. Matches seem to go like 20+ minutes depending on what you're doing. There's some pretty expensive cards, but with the rarity card limits for deckbuilding a lot of the time you only need one or two copies of a card.

wow 20 minutes is nothing.

I'm so used to battlecruiser magic where the norm is like a grindy two-hour game.

how big is a standard deck?

I was thinking about just finding like some bulk on fb marketplace (surprisingly, it's out there) and cobbling something together. Unless they make precons, haven't looked into it really.

There are precons for Gothic and Beta, get the Gothic ones. Necromancer is a top tier Avatar. Decks are 60 spells, 30 lands and 10 collection(sideboard). The Ian Miller cards are by far my favorite art.

I hope it does well, doubt it will even deny MtG though because plenty of better games have come after MtG but they died because of a pretty limited player base. Brand recognition is one helluva thing to beat.

I do hate modern MtG like you wouldn't believe but aren't something like 80% of Sorcery decks water because that's the element with coolest sites and rules?

A friend mentioned it to me a few weeks ago and I've had a waning interest in MTG for a long while now so I'm going to get into it even if it turns out to be a dead game. I bought the Gothic precons and I bought some playsets of the ordinaries (commons) of each set off of Ebay which should be showing up in about a week, probably in the next week or two I'm going to buy a booster box to crack.
I've probably played around 10 games with the precons with my friend and the game seems fun even if we are still misplaying and don't have a good head for strategy yet, not to mention it feels like the precons are kinda lopsided in powerlevel.
I don't know if I like the fact the deckbuilding meta has a lot of universal autoincludes (toolbox no matter what for sidedeck casting wincons, cores/mixes/other powerful artifacts if you can afford them) and the entire meta seemed completely dominated by Druid decks before he got nerfed via errata.
The fact that a lot of cards I've seen have misinterpretable wording that can lead to confusion about how stuff is executed also isn't great, but Curiosa.com is a solid resource that clears most things up pretty quickly even if it is irritating that I have to interrupt games several times in order to figure stuff out.
Even with those reservations the game is doing too much cool stuff for me to ignore it. Between the art and the really interesting design space they use with some cards like pic related I can see myself spending a lot of time and money on this, even though the only people I'm probably going to be playing with are 2-3 friends since the closest sanctioned event is over an hour away from where I live.

>>97821727
If you don't mind a dead game, Mage Wars Arena is pretty dope and you can usually get the complete thing for a decent price.

Atleast in our city sorcery has been steadily gaining new players, with most being ex-mtg players or completely new to tcg hobby. It's either been the art or gameplay drawing people in. Ppl seem to enjoy the boardgame feel of the game with site placement and cards really affecting the realm unlike in some other games. Someone in the latest sealed event pulled this badboy and gotta say that flavour texts are so damn good in this game,

>>97835460
this and a bunch of other Ian images appeared in the Tolkien bestiary too. I also always loved the wights picture.

The only thing you can validly do here is dislike the art style. The technical quality is objectively high, and if you can't see that, you're just not competent to judge the quality of anything.

He's probably thinking of the oversaturated computer-coloured ultra-crisp industry standard slop that became the norm since the 90's in general.

I have played magic for like 20+ years and I just got the pre-cons and played with a friend today. It was super fun. I have a question for people more informed. I looked at the recent big tournament decks and only water decks are playing this games version of a mox, why is that? I would have thought every deck would just run them. I don't see them on their ban list.

File: 585400_in_1000x1000[1].jpg (106.3 KB)

106.3 KB JPG

>>97872282
I think there's a few reasons. They aren't a free spell, with a mox you can cut lands out of the deck while getting free ramp. The cores are powerful but you are cutting a spell to put them in the deck and they are only a good top deck in the early game since land drops are less random in Sorcery. There are some cards that are basically an auto include like Ring of Morrigan and the Omphalos from Gothic are very strong and seeing a lot of play. Key to the City got a good errata recently and will probably see a lot more play as well.

Just watched a vid about it and now I want it but there's 0 retailers in my shithole and international shipping is going to bankrupt me. Spatial mechanic reminds me a little bit of an old slav game called Berserk my college buddy showed me once (it also had a playmat and played sorta like HoMM video game battles), but it was in slav runes so I don't remember much.

I only started getting in about a month ago, was Gothic the set of last year or this year? If it was last year, when should I expect the next set?

>>97887201
Gothic launched in December of last year, we are still a ways away from the next one. With sorcery expect 1 big set per year.

It's just what OG Magic wanted to be and is 100% worth a try. I wouldn't play it competitively but it's really fun with friends. Shame it's still a fucking TCG gacha filth. I'd rather buy all the cards of a set Dominions-style.
