I’d just settle for a blue or red Rampant Growth or Nature’s Lore/Three Visits and a white Sign in Blood. Maybe even a black Negate but you lose life equal to the countered spells CMC. That still might be too heavy duty though.

Of course what I expect we’ll see is a green Mana Drain that can’t be countered and in your next main phase lets you put lands from your hand into the battlefield equal to the mana cost of the countered spell. Still will cost 2 colored mana

That + a green Wrath

Original Kamigawa block was famously a low performing set. MTG nerds don't give a shit about asian stuff unless it's gooner shit or generic anime stuff.

>>97913347
Original Kamigawa underperformed because it was scaled down in power and hot off the tail of Mirrodin.
People liked the aesthetics, it's just that the cards themselves were bad.

Its a very one dimensional deck, and out of the box it can go hard, but its very sluggish compared to other precons as of late.
What it costs now is very much where it should be.

I recently found out Nissa is short. Like, 5'2" short. That's dwarf tier short. But she's an elf. I can't get it out of my head. I have a real problem with it. It's making me dislike her just knowing she's basically a hobbit with pointy ears. It's fucked up.

I'm just new to mtg and normally see precons going 60+ and way higher. I saw precons people say are shit like the fallout science one still being 50 bucks made me wonder if blight curse was just terrible.

>>97913430

>Straigh from Maro's mouth. If you believe the notorious liar, that's on you, bit it was one of the points brought up by players at the time.
I don't buy it.
The biggest criticism from nearly anyone in the MTG fandom that I've seen is always the power scaling.

I can maybe, MAYBE buy that people were off-put by how radical the art direction was at the time, and know that people took some offense to its portrayal of shintoism. But beyond that, people largely praise it in hindsight and even mention it as a well balanced and written set that was just underpowered when sandwiched between Ravnica and Mirrodin, and overwhelmingly mention that as their reason for not liking it.

>>97913371

It's a big, dummy, almost free dude in most spellslinger decks. Issue is that it's rather slow and lacks any protection on its own.
Playing it as secondary or even tertiary plan can work, but It's not something that will be blowing the fuck out of your opponents. Just a big guy that either will die to removal or will allow you to reuse your instants and sorceries few times.

In the wake of UB+hat sets there's a lot of dishonest historical revisionism being thrown around by the mtg community. Mind you Magic players aren't the most honest or intelligent fandom in the first place, but it's hilarious how blatant some of the lying and cope about "muh golden age of magic" gets to people who lived through it and know exactly what people actually thought of those things at the time.

>>97913546
I'm reading through it and don't see a lot of people really talking about the language barrier.
Also. Just throwing in my ACKSUALLY here, the gojuon is 50 syllables and with the exception of は and を, the language is shockingly consistent in terms of words being pronounced exactly like they're spelled. The biggest hurdle for English speakers being that "i" is a long "ee" sound, "e" always being a long "ay" sound, and double consonants extending the previous vowel sound.

Im not the one in denial that kamigawa 1.0 was a flop btw

>>97913941
Are people denying it was a flop? It has a super awkward power level with severely overcosted cards after Mirrodin. The problem with raising the power bar is that you can never properly lower it again because people just won't use the worse cards over good ones. Things like Bushido could've easily been significantly better and just given the creature +X/+X while blocking/attacking instead of only when being blocked/blocking but leaving them vulnerable to low power removal otherwise, etc. Several Kami are extremely underwhelming and the Ogre + Oni synergy was a great idea that only got to be good in like 3 cards.

>>97913953
>Are people denying it was a flop?
Ofc, you have anons insisting that kamigawa 2.0 being cyberpunk anime was a mistake, that it would have been more successful had it gone back to shintoism and mononoke that the average american isnt aware of
reminder that a lot of mtg players dont even watch anime how much more do you think they'll be aware of japanese mythology

>>97913961
>kamigawa 2.0 being cyberpunk anime was a mistake
it was
>it would have been more successful had it gone back to shintoism
probably not

>>97913961
The shintoism and the mononoke isn't what caused it to flop whatsoever, that was released in the early 2000s where weeb culture was at a fever pitch in America. The problem is the cards were extremely bad.
On the other hand, Kamigawa 2.0 being cyberpunk would've been better if the cards were also not shit. I think the real takeaway is that Kamigawa gets gems in a massive pile of shit whereas planes like Mirrodin just get broken shit at all rarity levels.

>>97913986
Theros 1.0 is also a weak set overall (haha born of the gods) if you remove thoughtseize and nykthos but people were ok with it, partly because greek mythology is taught in classes while japanese isnt

>>97914105
>any slight variations on consonants (especially on proper nouns) can easily be brushed off as having an accent
That's different, and you're failing to understand why.
The first is an ESL trying to and struggling with English. That's fine.
The second example, リリアナ, isn't even an attempt at trying to speak English, it's just a bastardized attempt at making a loan word. It's such a regular occurrence, especially with double consonant sounds, that when it gets translated back to English it's often takes on an entirely new meaning.
And you know what? That's also fine. That's a Japanese person talking to a Japanese person in Japanese, they aren't grading each other's English pronunciations.
So please understand, you are a massive twat for judging an English person who is speaking English for having trouble with a loan word like raiyusei, because they aren't even trying to speak Japanese in the first place. Quit giving a shit

>>97914139
>Quit giving a shit

Can anyone explain the competitive part of bracket 5/ cedh? Competitive commander to me is playing the game. I usually play b4, the games go to turn 9, 10 but one can often ramp out their 7 or 8 cost commander by t3 with mox, have a response in hand with FoW etc.

Playing like that is strategic like chess but also luck of the draw like poker that you’ll draw something you don’t have, whether it’s removal or protection or whatever.

I played in a couple cedh lobbies today and both of them either ended in turn 4 or 6 and it was just one dude making an infinite loop happen. It wasn’t competitive

I guess bracket 4 is strategic/competive commander while bracket 5/cedh is combo-race/solitaire-commander?

>>97914363
> 7 or 8 cost commander by t3 with mox, have a response in hand with FoW etc.
man what a shitty way to play the game. what you're describing isn't "strategy" it's "im too retarded to build a deck without unlimited super-staples and im too retarded to learn how to actually play the game optimally". usually these types of players are the ones who get upset and tell me to go play cedh as soon as they get hit with a null rod or winter moon.

Ban staples.

>>97914363
CEDH is optimized play. You are not playing cards with no restrictions, you are explicitly speed-running the win running the fastest, most reliable and leanest form of the deck possible.

You aren't trying to do anything cool, you're trying to end the game from draw 7 to the earliest possible infinite combo, win-the-game trigger or bullshit boardstate. You will often be mulling to try and get specific openers and enablers and your deck is built to be a pile of goodstuff and cards that get you to your goodstuff as fast as possible.

Broadly this makes the bracket very metagame focused because you don't have any time to durdle and your ability to win is entirely predicated on being able to keep opponents from taking it from you.

Sweaty is the point; that's why I don't play it. I like having strong decks, but I also like actually playing the game for a few turns too.

I'd like to make the point that Bracket 3 is not necessarily less competitive than Bracket 4, it's generally going to be slower though with more room to breathe. You should consider 4 though basically the 'open' or 'anything goes' category without quite so much dick-flattening as bracket 5.

you will rely on rhystic the most out of all the archetypes, to the point that you're going so far as to copy them
you develop early, not really trying to combo off t1-t2, in the hopes of grinding out people late game
all of them are blue based, and white (tithe, esper sentinel) and black (tutors) just happen to be the best colors to partner blue with for a midrange plan because otherwise red just leads to combo and green just leads to big mana

Yeah, what you’re describing is not optimized play though cause you’re not playing the game you’re just trying to hit a combo. it’s like blackjack instead of poker

when I think of competitive commander, I’m thinking of bracket 4, where as CEDH is not really commander at all it’s just “combo seeker”.

I guess the better term for bracket 4 would be “strategic commander” or “competitive commander “ if “competitive elder dragon highlander” is the term for bracket 5, ie, not playing the game intentionally?

I haven’t seen a single elder dragon as the commander in any bracket 5 deck though either so I’m not sure that CEDH is even that correct term for bracket 5 anti-gameplay.

Not to mention using 2 commanders is a weak kind of pussy thing in general, keep that in bracket 1 or 2. Commander = 1 legendary creature. Not a spell, enchantment, multiple creatures, etc

They don't want to have actual bad people besides white dudes, but neo-kamigawa is run by a woman, so it has to be a misinformed rebellion that can be solved by communication.

Anyone know of any sites where you can custom order playmats, that actually do it in good quality?
I know there ARE such sites, but I'd prefer one that doesn't just wear out after 3 weeks.

>>97914322

>>97914828
The playmat I got from "yourplaymat.com" has lasted very long (has only recently become flimsy because I've put it in the dryer instead of hang drying like a good boy), was inexpensive, and the printing of my custom image is still very clear to this day. I ordered it around the plandemic though, so shipping took months and months, but that's probably figured out by now.

Magic has been Warcraft-tier cartoonish fantasyshit aesthetically outside of a VERY few artists since at least Urza's saga and it's only gotten more and more infantile since then as its totally devolved into the Disney-esque corporatefantasy aesthetic it now has.

That is why I always laugh at antiubfaggots malding about Ninja Turtles and MLP in MtG. Past 1998 Magic has always been the faggiest and most immature portrayal of fantasy aesthetics/lore that was popular at the time. Nothing has been lost by switching to Fallout and Monster Hunter and God of War, wotc is just no longer pretending that they're not just ripping off the current normie fotm fantasy stories for their lore.

I don't know about that. I'd argue that Mirrodin was probably the most unique fantasy setting WotC has come up with to date.

>>97914895
Mirrodin is still genuinely unique as a setting. And, of course, it's a goddamn travesty that they felt the need to throw all that uniqueness away with New Phyrexia. Alara was also interesting from a worldbuilding perspective, at least when you take into account the rules and constraints of the universe they were working within. Yeah, the individual shards can be kinda generic and lacking, but them being lacking was literally kind of the point.

>>97914083
so if I cast culling ritual(kills like 10 saprolings+8 or so permanents, 18 total), then pox, then pox plague - each player has lost most of their life, permanents, and win via slimefoot or south wind avatar, shriveling rot as well. If they are still alive, use the remaining mana to ominous harvest with a fuck huge gravestorm count to finish.

Issue is - lets say everyone is down to 5 life, no permanents or lands, and I have 30 copies of ominous harvest, 10 targeting each opponent.

What are the odds someone can find a spell to deal with the gravestorm stack?

Poole has some duds but he's a fantastic artist and should absolutely be held on the same level as Spencer.
Guay and Nielsen are probably top of the top with Poole, Spencer, and a couple of others in the tier immediately below that. Then we have Seb and, I dunno, Swanland? Other fan-favorite artists who are very good but not nearly as iconic as the above.

We don't have lists yet but if you have ever been around during precon releases you'd know one or two jump up massively over the others. This time it is silverquill, selling as much as 30 dollars above others.
These are also basically RL cards. Look at warhammer. If you need any warhammer cards these days you are going to pay prices that are Reserve list tier. This will happen with the marvel decks by the end of the decade. I'd rather have the shit on hand for future decks instead of 4 years from now desperately needing "Doctor Strange the faggot" for my deck and he is 70 dollars because he is never being printed again.

Are commander players just that bad at card evaluation? How does "dude draw three" trump "The best card in your yard over and over again"? If I wanted to spend 6 mana to draw three I'd play BSZ. In a vacuum the blue one is better sure, but the green one has a much higher ceiling and Green players are guaranteed to have 8+ lands out by turn 6. Meanwhile, you're not always going to have 8 cards in to exile to prepare the blue Emeritus I don't give a fuck about you super amazing flicker decks.
