Sometimes you see a card and just wonder why the fuck it was given such good inbuilt protection given its low cost and an already solid ability. Kotis is another one where you really wonder why the fuck it's a 4-drop with static indestructible when its other effect is already manacheat that digs for you.
>>
>>97907546

Cards like this exist so people can stop complaining about simic

Because it's a $3,000+ card, and banning it now would cause a massive market crash.

>>
>>97907791
Speaking personally, I like the JP artists as their one offs but wouldn't care for an entire set designed that way.
Making shit up here though?
I imagine that a lot of MTG's design overlaps between sets because the artists are expected to operate through a pipeline, and the overhead required to retrain direction for an entire department for that much of an artistic departure would exceed potential profits, and gives most monetary boons when it's effectively maintained as smaller independent projects bordering freelance.
>>
>>97908340
I'd much rather have JP art than the latest fat diversity shit they're plaguing art with. Ideally I'd prefer to go back to the original art (1995 to 2005) though.

>>97908378
Jap art on MTG cards is generally horrific. I don't get it
>>
>>97908237
Short and long of it is that advantage from turn order is relative to the number of opponents you have and it works as a gradient. When you're ahead, you've got 3 people targeting you and when you're behind, you're mostly left alone. That leaves room to level out once you get to the mid to late game.
In 1v1 though, you are always the target though and you can't expect to reach mid or late game. So balance is enforced at the start.

OK, asking again, but with a link this time. I promise I'll behave.

/tg/, I need your help editing my deck, but I don't want you to straight up fix it for me.
Relative n00b here. I'm building an Eriette deck, so a lot of auras to give away, with as much hexproof, indestructible, and "creatures can't attack you unless" as I could find. But now the list has over 160 cards and I'm having difficulty deciding what to cut out.
So, what should I prioritize? Can you give suggestions, please?

Question for those who strictly play commander and the occasional prerelease (no other format experience).

That wasn't an explanation of the rules, it was an explanation of the reasoning for why they exist.
If you're asking why 3+ players is considered multiplayer but 1v1 isn't, it's mostly a colloquial reference to the number of people a person is playing with or against, namely because there isn't any formally supported formats that would allow a person to have no opponents.

I don't know what more they even could have done with it. 3 mana for a vanilla 2/2 is a devastating tempo play in even the most casual pods and disguise proved it can't be fixed by adding ward. That means they need to cook up ANOTHER keyword that lets players morph for 2 mana next time it shows up or push even harder into manifesting cards and cheating the cost of putting face down guys onto the board. Face down is just kind of a disaster of a mechanic. Even the most pushed version of it (Precon Zimone) with the best trigger for the mechanic is still flying bracket 2 power level, max. Genuinely a waste of cardboard to continue supporting the archetype it just sucks.

My personal solution would be to allow for more face-down tribal synergy.

Create a face down alternative for non-creature spells that behave like powerstones.
Keywords would include:
>Contain - Target spell or permanent is placed face down under its owner's control. It is a Jar enchantment artifact
>Store - Exile the top two cards from your library. Choose one of those cards or a card from your hand and place it on the field face down. It is a Jar enchantment artifact
>Container - Pay 2 colorless: You may put this card as a face down as a Jar enchantment artifact

kuldotha rebirth and gleeful demolition are no good with how few artifacts you have,
goblinslide is looking a little suspect for a similar reason
those planewalkers are a noobtrap, not very good at all
fissure and magmatic sinkhole aren't great either, look at ghostfire slice - wild magic surge - zoyowa's justice - untimely malfunction for cheap interaction
since you're already burning people out with burn at stake you should also try mob justice or price of progress, these cards can end games under the right circumstances
