Magic: The Gathering

this could be kino if it was a plane per season with a subtle but overarching story (perhaps related to bolas) but we all know it's just going to be the Jacetice League

The Urza/Phyrexia saga was full of Marvel-tier Planeswalkers in the lore, they just didn't have Planeswalker cards back then. They were literally called the "Titans", and they were able to rek most of Phyrexia single-handedly.

the older MTG novels were pretty good for genre fiction.

the New Phyrexia stuff was interesting as a piece of worldbuilding more than as a story, hopefully we can now get a decent story featuring only phyrexians now that the pesky mirrans are out of the pictures

Is it nice 2D animation, Heavy Metal style fantasy or shitty 3D?

Well fortunately (((they))) can't ruin it because Magic has already been turned into woke bullshit.

Except it involved a shitload of regular heroic fantasy stuff featuring regular people, and lots of military action.

>another adaptation of a property I enjoy
can’t wait til you ruin it like everything else you’ve ever adapted.

The plane for this will be innistrad

make my words

we're in current year

They were way beyond Marvel tier, unless if by "Marvel-tier" you meant Thanos. Oldwalkers like Urza, Serra etc. were basically gods. Current planeswalkers like Jace and his Village People are weak as shit compared to them.

>anime
lmfao

You already know that it isn't going to feature anything that's actually interesting about the series. It'll be The Jacetice League visiting the least interesting planes like NotEgypt and NotGreece to beat the FOTM villain through the power of friendship.

Netflix is all about that 80's nostalgia bait though

see
I can believe it.
Sorin and Avacyn have that typical DDLG "choke me daddy ive been a bad girl uwu" twitter mallgoth thing going on. Like the Joker and Harley in Suicide Squad

actually yeah this is a good point. it’s already been ruined for several years.

you said it: BAIT
as in: it tricks you into expecting something good but it's not the real deal.

So it will not be traditional animation.

I know, I only play EDH. they’ve long since ruined any interest I had in the story line. and I really don’t care at all about any other formats. I just want good cards to piss my friends off with. and Modern Horizons has a ton of new good stuff.

>except MtG hasn't been fantasy since 2007. It's been capeshit ever since the Mending. And that's why they're making a series about it. Because planeswalkers have been superheroes for 12 years

*looks up planeswalkers*

Wow you're right. They're totally going for some watered-down capeshit thing.

I'm of the view actually that Magic the Gathering marked a great decline in fantasy illustration and aesthetics, and geek culture aesthetics in general.

That kind of tacky Corel Painter look. It basically signaled the beginning of the type of look you see on Deviantart.

It's a card game first and a story arc second. That said, some of the post-2000 blocs like Shards of Alara were still interesting and detailed.

I still love Alara (I actually enjoyed the book a lot too). it was the block that got me back into playing, after the same break that everyone took.
Lorwyn into Alara into Zendikar was the GOAT nu-magic run, peaking with RotE.

that would be beautiful. cascade is one of the most fun (and busted) mechanics they’ve come up with. Bloodbraid into Blightning (or even Sprouting Thrinax) is disgustingly fun

Karn heavily implied they're going back there to finish the job blowing it up, he even got the Golgothian Sylex back at the return to Dominaria (the thing that urza used to cause the Ice Age).

Phyrexia is in the near future.

lol see my leg

I got into at Innistrad. God I love that block but in retrospect shit was simmering already. Especially at a game design level with a focusing on creatures

Arena is actually pretty based and not nearly as money grabby as it could be, so im playing Standard for the first time since Khans of Tarkir.

Kinda hype desu, even if it's thinly veiled capeshit.

Pirates were cool though

Magic has been gay for a long time so this doesn't surprise me.

Why are they all balding? Is it that common in america?

But they are making New New Phyrexia. Karn even said they're going back there in Dominaria.

Will he be in it?

Attached: many mtg players wonder does anyone read captions.jpg (1280x720, 99K)

Innistrad and Scars were both great blocks. I think the last block I was actually interested in was Khans, and even then my interest was waning.

could actually be kino. Kithkin, Merfolk, Gobbos, Elementals, Giants. Lorwyn had everything.

it’s induced by too much freedom

Lorwyn isn't edgy enough.

You're talking about Nu-Magic. Nu-Magic has been ruined with overly aggressive art direction that prevents artists from expressing any creativity of their own. Original Magic was filled with fantastic art from radically different styles because it barely had any art direction at all.

I dropped around Modern Masters 1
Mostly due to cash but given the politics I'm glad I got too poor
Lorwyn is my absolutely favourite block aesthetics wise. I still have my gobbo deck

Arena is shitty because it doesn't actually give a F2P player any way of getting a competitive deck together other than being assraped thousands of times on ladder with his worthless starter decks.

I dont know how its possible to simultaneously like and hate someone, but this faggot makes it possible.

nigga, you can build a very simple mono red deck with just commons and uncommons and just play, FOR FREE, do your dailies, and get enough for a draft.

There are plenty of people doing the same thing in the Play section, just get cards and wildcards drafting.

Corel Painter is painting software that people on Deviantart - and the kids over at Yea Forums's own drawing/painting board - tend to often use.

All those kinds of newer 'epic' scifi / fantasy illustrations you might see online by and for geek culture tends to be made with it. I suppose the software can be used to good ends, but it seems to be the refuge of pure kitsch artists... for some reason its usage seems to always coincide with bad aesthetic decisions, and I think its the chintsy, almost grandma-art quality of the way brushwork looks with it. Like the styles used - bad color choices, large eyes, grandiose subject matter - really kind of inherited the legacy of bad tacky grandma art and household kitsch paintings. Pic related.

But that is to say, for whatever reason, the art style mostly used was very much first made prevalent in Magic the Gathering illustrations in the mid 90s.

You sound kinda pretentious, what constitute "good art" for the amateur then?

Expect it to be low-budget, poorly animated, and stylised generically.

I just proxy the cards these days, these sjw fuckers aren’t getting my hard earned neetbux.

they've literally dumbed down the entire game to attract casual Hearthshitters

>>wahh there’s dinosaurs and pirates in my fictional universe!

that block was fucking lame apart from the vampire faction though, and they rigged the user polls to stop the vampires from winning

I think the old stuff had tendencies that indicated all the really bad shit we have now, but it was slightly more intriguing then. But I had been a kid fascinated by D&D illustrations before then so I already felt there was a marked decline in style. And obviously fantasy art is always pretty kitschy and cheesy but I felt the prog and heavy metal eras lent themselves much better to fantasy aesthetics whereas the tepid sensibilities of dweebs since the late 90s really started over cute-ifying everything and getting really chintsy.

See, I started off with that mindset, but I put aside all the store credit I got from modern events, and prereleases over 3 years, and now I have a nearly completely foil cEDH deck, which i really should fucking sell.

At least magic is that kind of hobby where you can recoup money pretty easily from selling prize packs and cards.

not to shit on you if you’re into it, I understand the appeal, but I hate cEDH. it’s supposed to be a casual format for kitchen table fun.
it’s cool to foil out the whole deck and be invested in making a good deck, but the whole competitive aspect ruins it for me. I’m the kind of faggot who doesn’t care whether I win or lose, I just enjoy smoking a bowl and shit talking my friends and making up dumb nicknames for every card and cracking racist jokes.

Actually most people use Photoshop, and few people use painter only for its blending, but that doesnt matter because the programs are capable of rendering in pseudo traditional ways it is entirely up to the artist and art direction, which WOTC has reigned in since the early days. Artists in the early days were just given the card name, its color and a brief description and they were given much more freedom compared to art direction now. Maybe it depends on the artist, but they have shown their direction specification and the composition and color scheme is dictated by the art director which gives limited creative freedom for artists. This combined with the shift from art towards illustration is what caused the change in the purpose of the card art and the styles associated, as they have moved towards a more homogenous art style. tldr it is mostly because of art direction that art is the way it is now, not some computer program.

Attached: RKF.jpg (2000x1613, 619K)

see, thats where the playgroup comes in. If you told me id have a $4k cEDH deck a year ago i would have laughed in your face. But a new store opened up recently, and it was EDH themed from the start. So, I started just proxying things up and going down every few Tuesdays, but I really liked it, because the group was really good with enforcing rules and it basically feels like singleton vintage.

Fastforward 3 years later and im still at that store, same 15-20 people, its actually great. I can understand how people dislike it though, I didnt like it for 3-4 years, and now its my favourite format.

Why are the old mtg card so aesthetically pleasing?

edh was so much better before they started making cards for the format, and changed the rules on legend rule and tucking.

you’re right, but none of my friends want to play in the store anymore so we just end up at one of their houses.

oh dont get me wrong, they've fucked up a ton with the nu-manders, and I can't talk because I play one of the relatively new ones, but it just comes down to your playgroup really.

cEDH is in the best position it's ever been. But that just means some little queef is gonna come down to your friendly LGS and play his cEDH deck to try and flex on people. I have 4 decks, one thats basically a precon with $50 in upgrades, a relatively tame Brudiclad Tokencloen deck, a decently competitive Yisan Stax deck and a fucking brutal Teferi Chain Veil deck, and I know when to use each deck because I hate it when people don't get to play. The new commanders are great if you just have established rules and you dont get some nigger with a Napoleon complex trying to curbstomp you in your casual game.

Keep them coming

this

Yeah I have a chain veil teferi deck too but I never play it because imo the format is way more fun when everyone plays jank and arent just tutoring into combos and shit like that. Whenever it is a group of people that dont know each other at my lgs we usually establish how hard we want to go and choose our decks accordingly, and I feel most people just want to play their jank decks and have fun.

That's fine, im a filthy spike, but i also know not to bring out the big guns if they're not needed. The problem is all the people who want to prove a point by playing commander and winning, and just play to win ALWAYS. I have 4 different decks, and I just treat it like difficulties on an arcade cabinet and ask what people want to play. Ive had the most fun with my second weakest deck, seriously, some of the wacky shit you can do with Brudiclad if you're allowed the time is fucking dumb.

Just have different decks and different budgets, I had some nigger playing a competitive T&T Flash Hulk deck complaining that I was using Tamiyo's Journal to tutor multiple times in a turn - when that card is 5CMC, pennies to buy, and requires a ton of synergy to actually use.

Tutors are fine when they are expensive and have hoops to jump through, but, by the same token, tutors are also fine when it causes a stack that looks like it could power the god damned Apollo 13.

There's nothing wrong with commander, there's only problems with the people who play it.

Or Dominaria. That's basically Kenya and then they get to make Teferi the protag, which would make netflix jizz themselves

I do recall some of that early illustration being pretty weird. I liked that stuff you guys posted.

that’s really the best way to be, where you can be competitive if you need to, but can also turn it off and just have fun. I actually wish I was a bit more competitive because I really don’t give a fuck like basically ever.
most of my decks get made fun of by my friends, but I still love playing them because I made them instead of netdecking. my Progenitus 5c good stuff ETB abuse deck is so much fun even if the only times I ever win with it is when they ignore me for long enough to play a Tooth and Nail.

Not saying there is anything wrong with tutors, just that when you play competitive (multiplayer) it devolves fairly quickly almost to set play, whereas jank edh usually goes off the deep end with interesting interactions which leads to more varied gameplay that never gets stale.

This is what comes to my mind when people talk about all magic art.
There's a ton of good pieces but there are also pretty basic shit.
When players think about this time are they will probably think about Seb McKinnon and the like and will forget about the worst shit, and in retrospective it won't look specially bad.
The current criticism to Magic art is basically boomer tier.
I think when it comes to art it was Time Spiral to Innistrad the one with the best overall quality.

thefuck is the riptide project

>This is what comes to my mind when people talk about all magic art.
I meant old magic art.

what said. The old boarders acted like a frame and made your eyes focus on the art and a bit on the text box. They argued that you remembered everything by the art (which is true).
But because people are stupid, they changed the boarders, resulting in a cleaner look, but with less focus on the art, making it melt into the rest of the cards much more. The change also made the colors less distinct from eachother.

The art itself hasn't gone worse. It's the direction of forcing too much detail into the small window that has gone carzy. And the artists seems to play along trying jam as much as possible. That and the cgi lightning feels less natural than real-life paint if done by an amateur without much time.

That is why we should gather our efforts and make sure than the next masters set has old-boardered cards, or at least cards with some old school feel to it.

How the fuck do you make a movie about an incel card game, lmao.

I happen to like that Sabretooth Tiger. At least the composition and the stark contrast in colors of that art makes it easy to remember, and that is of a high importance to me. Memorable art. I bet you can't even remember how the 7th edition of the Tiger looks like. That one looks more like a bear to me.

Neither Scaled Wurm or Craw Wurm have technically great art. But they sure do look way cooler than Impervious Greatwurm, Ravager Wurm or Primordial Wurm.

I met him in '95 at WotC's Artist's Caravan along with other Magic artists.
I expressed to him my enjoyment of his (I thought absurd) art for Invoke Prejudice. He lit up, and said I might be interested in some of his other art, then. He pulled out a couple artbooks filled with racist and Nazi-inspired art. Creeped out beyond belief, I sheepishly thanked him and got the hell away from that table as quick as I could.
There's a reason why he has done almost zero professional work for a long time.
His MySpace confirms he's a complete racist nutjob. I'd say "not that there's anything wrong with that", but this is the 21st century, and YEAH - THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT.

what are the basics of MTG? how do I get into it? just start buying packs? is there a phone game i can play this like hearthstone?

Don't know about phone games specifically, but for vidya there's MTG Arena or Duels of the Planeswalkers.

In your mind, porn addict

>ooga booga

already did good pick though

MTG Arena is babbies first entry level to the game. If anything, Its better to visit your local gamestore and inquire there. As much as people want to atereotype MtG players as smelly nerds they're often welcoming to people who want to learn. There are multiple formats, each having certain restrictions to cards and different rules but its better to start with the basic Standard and Limited formats, something that Arena can teach you easily.

Either Dominaria if they're starting at the beginning, or more likely Ravnica.
It's always fucking Ravnica, and starting at the beginning would prevent them from using all the newer, more popular characters that we seem to be stuck with.

Did you even open OP's image?

For me, it's Thalia.

The difference is between old and new magic is that old magic the black people came from black cultures. In nu-magic every single civilization is multicultural even if it makes no sense that it would be,

I mean, Lightning Bolt is the easy answer, but aside from that, this right here is the card that I think has done the most work for me over all.

Quick question, why are they calling it anime?

Are the Russo brothers actually Japanese? Have they hired a Japanese studio to animate this?

Then hope that MH1 does well enough that it becomes a somewhat regular thing, though with more reprints and cheaper packs.

Riptide Project barely counts as a story.

Because the artists were told to just draw whatever they want. With no direction, some of it turned out amazing, and some of it was absolute garbage, Now they've streamlined it out so there's no valley's, but that also means no peaks either.

I always wanted to get into magic since it looks cool asf but never wanted to dish out tons of cash on it. thinking about checking out the online version.. is it fun bros?

Almost all of the art post first Kamigawa block has been garbage deviant art shit.

Either this or Mirari, solely because I owned both and I started playing as an 8yo. Haven't touched MtG in 16 or so years.

I still like Magic, and the fact that they trigger /pol/tards because they don't mind having minorities (like they've always done for 25 years) is just a nice bonus.
Arena is the greatest thing that happened to it in forever. Free Magic feels so good.

How entitled.

You bet your virgin asses they will.

Tomik showing up makes no sense unless they put the show in Ravnica, which would be pretty gay

In all seriousness, I'd prefer another setting. Like Innistrad.

Kaladesh is my favorite setting, so I'd love if it was there, but playing the odds I'd say it's going to be Ravnica.

I really like Jesper Ejsing too

I never even played with Kaladesh
and I kept forgetting that that's the name of the plane, because I keep forgetting the Indian part of the inspiration
I just like the aesthetic, and the tech aspect
Honestly, even though I've been playing on and off since the 90's, I never got much into the lore, and until the past couple years I probably couldn't have identified a single plane other than Phyrexia

Wait, I take that back. I did play a single game. Can't remember if it was a draft someone dragged me to, or a pack war with my housemate, but I did find energy mechanic to be a kinda neat novelty, charging up a laser to zap my opponent every couple turns.

Do you believe that positive racial minority representation in Magic the Gathering card art as a percentage of total card art has not increased over time? Other than white women, minorities were highly underrepresented until around Theros.

The company that owns the rights to Magic the Gathering, Wizards of the Coast (a Hasbro subsidiary), themselves have claimed this to be true. You could also search card art on their website or other third party sites to verify for yourself if you don't believe them. Just pick any old set and scroll through to see the blatant non-inclusive art for yourself.

The small percent of minority representation that was present pre-Theros I would argue bordered on tokenism (or racism depending on how the art depicted minorities).

I have noticed that a lot of times people would rather argue that the progress that is being made doesn't exist, rather than that it is good. Why is this the case?

pirates were HORRIBLE people that raped murdered and raped. If ANY woman was near them, that was a guaranteed rape (the violent kind). I grew up on the coast with pirate stories and it still unsettles me how they're ignorantly glorified.

what about the subset of players that's uncomfortable with spiders, or nightmares, kraken, fish, murder, slaughter - you get the point. I'm pretty offended by pic related and I simply chose to ignore the card even though it's pretty strong in edh, the format I mainly play

not to mention that they returned to Jamuraa in Prophecy and then Kamigawa. Why is having different planes/regions with different balances of races so evil? Why does every plane need to be a 1:1:1:1 ratio of white, black, asian, other brown?

>Linkin Park cover in your MTG trailer

jesus christ

>Why does every plane need to be a 1:1:1:1 ratio of white, black, asian, other brown?
It isn't. While it's true that we now have black people in every set, they're far less prevalent in settings that don't make as much sense having them. Innistrad, for example, has less black people than Ravnica. Tarkir also has barely any black people in it.

Teferi was T'challa more than 15 years ago. He went full isolationist when they wanted him and his country to fight in their war because they were super advanced and he phased out his enitre country so they didn't have to deal with their shit.

how many cards from the Antiquities expansion are on New Phyrexia?

Not sure why you would only reply to one statement I made rather than my entire post, or even answer my question which was not rhetorical.

Of the nearly 100 sets of Magic the Gathering pre-Theros, you can give 2 examples of sets in which a majority of the art depicts minorities with racist stereotypes. Again, just like putting art of a single card in your post, this is tokenism at best.

There are over 10000 creature cards. If you gave 100 examples of positive inclusiveness that would still be less than 1%. Stop pretending that Magic the Gathering has always been inclusive and diverse. Even the company itself does not shy away from this fact.

FUck you guy. GIdeon is the coolest guy in the story

Magic has a story?

Jeebus kraist I need to read this Gatewatch now.

There shouldn't be any niggers, because it's very clear that the geography and evolution is completely fucking different than ours. You'd either get all niggers, or none at all, based on the plane.

You don't. It's been capeshit since 08

>that lore where gideon tries to get jace to be his gym buddy and then pick up girls together

Kino

>Racist stereotypes
My ass. Magic might have a few racist stereotypes in the cards you can go cherry-pick, but the vast majority of them weren't like that at all, never. Not at the start, not at the middle, not now.
While there might be more minorities now, original Magic already had much more minorities than the average fantasy game. It's always been diverse by its era's standards. Always.
You're romanticizing something that doesn't exist.

unfortunately this
i have no hopes

Gideon, Teferi, and Ajani are the only good characters.
Jace is a fuccboi and is basically Martian "let me just read this guy's minAAAAARGH" Manhunter. The best thing he ever did was become /fit/ on a desert island and fucked a gorgon.
Liliana is a selfish bitch who learns nothing and gets away with everything because she has a vagina.
Chandra is a 13 year old in the body of a 20 year old.
Nissa killed her planet because she thought that releasing Eldritch horrors would make them leave her planet alone. She then becomes the stereotypical talking to trees and the earth kind of hippie. She used to be Elf Hitler but they retconned that because they wanted her to be a main character. At least she's a titty monester soshe has that going for her.
Kaya is a designed by commitee black girl. She destroyed the economy on Ravnica when she killed the leader of their financial system because AYO FUCK GHOSTS. She gets away with it and just leaves, but not before being inaugurated into the Gatewatch
