Mmh, you've got a point. But still, you have to have seen the show and be uncomfortable with Negan to really be bothered, which I don't think amounts to such a big number of Magic players . The depiction on the card doesn't show anything. I still think this doesn't deserve a ban for that reason alo...

Many games can feature such villains and I don't hear anyone asking to ban them there either. Many games ask you to play as the villain, sometimes even real, historic ones. I would wager that most of those games let you know upfront, they don't blindside a player. I've never played them, but if I s...

From my understanding it's not that they can't handle international shipping, it's that licensing agreements with AMC may forbid selling this product to certain countries. Or something else preventing sale in those regions. Because these aren't being sold in countries that have a Magic playing base,...

I can't speak for everyone of course, but as someone who owns a Star Wars: the Gathering cube (all laboriously printed and glued onto real magic cards), I'm absolutely down for wacky experiments. I think the problem here is how blatantly promotional it is. In a parallel universe, if someone showed ...

I haven't seen the show but how can a normal human be worse than a mythic being who murdered millions, if not billions, of innocents? Even the War of the Spark trailer showed a family slaughtered by the zombies, igniting Liliana's rebellion. Maybe Negan's depiction is more gruesome than Bolas' one ...

I know that most people are being respectful towards each other, the RC, and WotC. But just as a reminder (because it has come up in multiple threads now), there is no evidence that the RC is in any way bought by WotC or does what WotC wants them to. That is baseless conspiracy theory and posts ins...

@cryogen are there...... maybe a touch many sticky threads right now? I get that many of them have relevance, it just feels like all of the first page is stickied on there.

Agreed.

There is absolutely no evidence that the Rules Committee in the pockets of WotC or that their decisions are being driven by WotC. I know it's only been two people spreading this nonsense, but this is a general warning that posts of that nature without any evidence to back it up (i.e. useless spam p...

Well Mitch realized how bad his idea was and how hard it backfired on him. Captain is dead and the servers have been deleted. Good. I don't disagree with his disdain for these cards, or for WotC for producing and releasing them - I am 100% in agreement with him on that - but his impugning the integ...

So do we know for sure If Captain is going to officially replace EDH / Commander as Paper Magic's main casual format or is it too soon to be asking that question? Given how there's not as many rule differences between the two formats means that transitioning decks isn't as problematic and If it was...

Airi it has been a joy to work alongside you for all these years and I am grateful for everything you did for both Sally and then Nexus. I wish you the best as you focus on your health and you will always have a home and family here. :hug:

I can actually respect the silver border part, at least half of it. Mechanically these cards are perfectly fine as-is in black border, so to make them silver goes against what it means to be silver border. However, just because you want people to play with them doesn't take into consideration that s...

limited/unavailable runs, People are ridiculously overstating what limited availability is if each person can order 10-30 of the things. It's nothing at all like the previous circumstances. I wasn't referring to number of cards printed, I was talking about those people who happen to be in a country...

this proves the rc has sold the format. LIARS! I want to address this comment. We understand that many players are upset about this decision and that many people thing that the Rules Committee is under the control of WotC. This sentiment has no basis in reality so if you feel that way and want to e...

WE LOVE YOU RC! The "Sealed Box Limited Format" is about as old as Magic itself. That being said, it's still cool and building a Commander deck that way sounds MUCH more fun and challenging than building a 40 or 60 card deck. The process of adding 6 packs a week seems... arbitrary and not...

Toby on the RC discord said that's the easy way to handle the functional reprint issue, so worrying about two copies showing up isn't a big concern. Especially since the WU one might be playable in Legacy and if it is they won't want 8 copies showing up. Also, expect an announcement around 11pm East...

the rules committee are bought and paid for by wizards now (and have been for some time). any rule changes wizards wants or any pushed cards they print the rc capitulates to. ive played edh for well over a decade now and this format looks nothing like what it was. a lot of the defining characterist...

The RC has just SILENCED all criticism of this on their Discord. If they refuse to listen to 90% of their playerbase, we will know who they REALLY care about. As a mod on their server and one that was there when this took place, it is a gross misrepresentation of what happened. Membership more than...

@BeneTleilax Thankfully the cards therein seem legitimately terrible. I highly doubt that Negan is going to be knockung over cedh tables anytime soon. I like the Mardu one as a possible stax commander. I actually Negan quite a lot. I didn't watch any of the Walking Dead he was in but from what I kn...

@BeneTleilax Thankfully the cards therein seem legitimately terrible. I highly doubt that Negan is going to be knockung over cedh tables anytime soon. I like the Mardu one as a possible stax commander. Do they watch this thread, or should we move to the banned list discussion? Don't know. If you wa...

Lets start this out with "not starting a political debate or heated topic" @cryogen I saw your aesthetic hang-up and suddenly had the urge to take a bunch of white boardered cards and alter them to be political candidates for a maximum tilting experience. Too bad there is no white boarder...

I was prepared to respond that while I have a certain amount of aesthetic dislikes, like white borders and new borders, I can look past most of it because function trumps form. But then JWK posted and I am in the camp of not playing "off-color" cards so I don't run off color fetches even w...
