Don’t forget Fizbin, Senile old Wizard who is trigger happy with the fireball spell who is really The Dragon God Palindine

Yes,

Fizban had white/gray robes then later green robes…

Isn’t Fizban ‘Paladine’?

Oops. Thanks for pointing that out for me :+1:t4:.

playing MTG open arena non stop these days, game is hella addicting

Got into Arena too. As a former player of paper Magic it is very fun and addicting.

Seems like Magic is dead and/or slowly dying (In know poeple have said this in the 1990s and 2000s but look at how the direction of the game(s) is going)…

Seriously Hasbro is going to kill Magic… $329 fucking dollars for a box…

Look as of right now there are no shitty cards in Ultimate Masters but still $350 for a box of cards is excessive and stupid.

Hasbro been laying off peeps!!!

Why do these companies keep giving us the finger for this? Ultimate Masters will sadly sell and ensure the companies will get more greedy. Reminder this is all for fucking cardboard trading cards!

Wizards/Hasbro will always get away with it as long as they’re the frontrunner for this particular hobby. No other TCG has staying power or presence like MtG, and probably never will. Everything after MtG is either anime based TCG which already alienate people, or IP based stuff that comes and goes. There is no real alternative for people who want to play this type of game long term and as seriously as MtG always…

Anyone fuck it, I play EDH solely with proxies and play Shadowverse now instead

I’ve been telling you guys this company is shit for years. Not in a Po sort of way but in the “look, this company is making more anti-community decisions than otherwise”.

I actualy had somebody tell me in real life that this compan ydoesn’t make that many mistakes.

Dude defended literally everybody bad decision INCLUDING getting rid of the JSS so they could spend the money on the pro players club bullshit.

:joy::joy::joy::joy:

Game is pay2win. Nothing wont ever change that.

Sounds like politics…

So I haven’t played magic since I was a kid a long time ago but I’ve been having fun with Arena. Made a budget izzet drakes deck and it has been a blast playing it. Drafts have been fun too. Except I only do well when I draft aggro.

Sooooooooo… Magic is officially esports…

So much salt over this but I think its a great thing. Arena is annoying in the 2 games I just played but I can used to it. MTGO died overnight, everything is tanking hard and fast. The places that buy tickets are paying pretty much nothing now. So glad I sold out that crap last month or I would of lost hundreds.

I think the people who are most angry are the grinders of live magic. This will either be the best move WOTC/Hasbro has made or the worst.

Side note wish I would of sold most of my paper stuff already as that is likely to dip a bit as well but since its mainly high end cards and foils its probably fine. Plus Modern/Legacy cards should not change to much but a little.

Edit: Didn’t really look at cost of goods on Arena but right it looks like $90 per set and you can get close to 4 of everything as that is 90 packs. Also you get free stuff and need to see if there are 3rd party sale sites and cost of goods etc…

SO after short looking up essentially WOTC copied Pokemon and made a cheap way to play where you can play both for fun and competitive except making its main thing to promote play.

Fuck this game, play keyforge and have fun.

I see those kind of comments a lot lately. I just stay in my Legacy bubble and don’t care about any other part of the game but these last 3 days of using Arena have brought out this feeling I haven’t had since I was 14. Its enjoyment for the game itself. I have had to play patchwork bootleg decks with janky commons because that’s all I have. Its like the 90’s days when I digitally “crack” a pack and get a playable rare or uncommon and feel happy. I have to be creative with deckbuilding and yes I have lost to people playing with a account thats been around since day 1 and lose to cards I don’t know exist or I misread a card I put in a deck but its actually been fun for the most part. Shit is FREE(well I spent 5$ to buy the newcommer thing to expedite my bulding a collection)… 5$ is all I will spend and so far its slowly bringing out enjoyment again for a game that I have had in my life for 20 years.

Advice give Arena a try… Its Free or 5$ if you want the package so nothing to lose.
