can't you already do that?

rigid scarab
#

No?

#

In the old rules the 20/20 had to walk through 10 2/2s

#

But with these rules it can assign 1 damage to all 20 of them

#

You can block a 10/10 trample with a 5/5 and a 6/6 and you can make a deal where neither die if we're thinking more practically

trail anvil
#

I'm really confused why you'd be making this deal in the first place though when you could just make a deal with a single 2/2 blocker anyways?

rigid scarab
#

And the opponent wants a lifelink or combat damage trigger

#

This is a super common scenario

trail anvil
#

no as in like

#

imagine a 20/20 trampler and a 2/2 blocker. you can assign more than lethal damage to the blocker itself

#

that's why alexios was considered worse than slicer in some regards

#

the attacker assigns combat damage and can choose to have small creatures eat the entire thing

rigid scarab
#

wtf

twilit canyon

correct

#

this change is good overall

so with all the UB stuff now, i wonder how cosplaying at MTG events is gonna look like

rigid scarab
#

No reason not to

#

It's not like UB IP is now canonically Magic IP

#

Only reason people would cosplay as UB characters is for a joke

golden plover
#

So on the third year of every standard now (2026 to 2027) 18 (or 19, depending on when foundations rotates) sets will be legal

#

That's insane. Biggest standard prior was 9 sets

hello?

#

we have better 4 mana reanimate cards

golden plover
#

This is a much better casting cost

#

And it doesn't give it a finality counter

#

Zombify is the most generic reanimator card we've had in standard in forever

twilit canyon
#

im p sure thats not true

#

i think we have a 4 mana reanimate in standard rn

#

besides rite

subtle sierra
#

there's also the battle that is 3 mana

#

iirc it copies from gy

golden plover
#

None of these are non-conditional

#

Zombify is both non-conditional and 1 color with a very easy casting cost

#

Restoration exists, but something like Atraxa or Progenitus is half your life

Emergence is worse than any of the other options since you've gotta have a decent bit of cards in the graveyard already

Oculus is the best reanimator deck rn

But this could open up something new

#

true

#

also I have no idea what I'm doing with MtG but I wanna play a deck with cool dragons

past socket
#

I know at least one deck that screams DRAGONS GO BRR! as inexperienced with Magic as I am too for what I’ve seen of Commander. The Ur-Dragon

#

My focus for that has currently been Mr Lømp

aka The Wise Mothman

rigid scarab
soft light
#

really?

rigid scarab
#

Well not the majority of the playerbase but

#

“Commander only player who got into the game because of a UB of an IP they like” is a growing audience

#

A lot of the online MTG community really doesn’t like UB

#

But the sales tell a different story

#

Most of the time

soft light
#

huh

rigid scarab
#

The LOTR set is Magic’s bestselling set ever

#

The Warhammer precons are some of their bestselling precons

But the Assassin’s Creed set didn’t do so hot and neither did the Fallout precons

rigid scarab
#

“No clue why everyone's focused on the LORE aspect, it's not the lore that UB cards disrupt it's the THEMING of the game. When you have nondescript original fantasy creatures and characters, the game represents a fantasy world to players whether you're educated on the lore or not.

When you have spiderman, doctor who, and spongebob on the table, the thematic representation becomes a pop culture mishmash of ip's. It starts looking more like Top Trump cards, and less like I'm a wizard casting spells in a fantasy setting”

Wait I’ve been trying to formulate why I personally don’t play UB cards and this just hit the nail

For the average mtg player, this is a net positive

i dont think its a reasonable concern lol

pros have been playing formats with 8x the card pool of standard

also if you are a mythic player, you are... not concerned about the size of standard

If people want to bitch about it, let those be the ones that actually have stake in the game

pro players shouldn't be the design focus of the game

sleek ferry

Also agreed

twilit canyon
#

i dont thnk they are the only ones that should be allowed to complain either

#

but i will say i will put way more weight to their words

sleek ferry
#

Their concerns of balance in the standard meta holds more weight than just “product overload omg”. I’m genuinely more worried that all these sets are all getting a minimum of 2 commander precons alongside them

That’s going to end up being over 40 precons in 3 years just off the standard legal sets alone

You can explain set symbols, but explaining that Foundations Jumpstart (25) is not the same thing as Foundations: Jumpstart Packs (FDN) is wonky lol

fallow citrus

just set code right

if a card says j25 then it's no standard

luckily we have set codes on cards now instead of just the symbols

sleek ferry

Forget all that

#

What’s a beginner box

And how much is it

golden plover

I mean it is just set code, but a new player isn't gonna know s setcode without having to get told about it

#

Most people don't read the copyright bar

fallow citrus

okay but that logic applies to set symbol too

like if I have to explain something to a new player I'd just explain both

5 MANA DAMNATION IN STANDARD

copper pecan
#

it even gets around indestructible

golden plover
#

Actually is this the best boardwipe in standard now? Enables sacrifice effects on your end, and gets around indestructible

twilit canyon
#

no

golden plover
#

This might be better than sunfall

twilit canyon
#

its worse than sunfall

#

by a lot

#

i actually dont think theres relevant indestructible as a result of sunfall

#

so as a result this is probably worse than deadly cover-up

golden plover
#

Sunfall's big thing is that it can close out the game with a creature

#

But this is INSANE

#

Nah, this is better than deadly cover up by FAR

twilit canyon
#

not by far if at all

#

the 1 mana price is nice but if u are at that point i cant think of anything u could be also casting with the saved mana?

#

u also cannot avoid the sack yourself

golden plover
#

Cover Up is better post side sometimes ig if you really need to remove something

twilit canyon
#

and it eats exactly 13

golden plover
#

But this is a sac trigger

twilit canyon
#

so if the board is actually wide

#

lol gg

golden plover
#

No deck is making more than 13 creatures rn tbh

twilit canyon
#

you mean the token spam decks

#

lol

#

token control can easily make like 20

golden plover
#

I'm on token control rn

#

I very rarely, if ever, have more than 10-11 creatures out

twilit canyon
#

well yes in a sense because of sunfall

#

but its really not hard to get there

#

and you dont wanna be playing something like this vs them

golden plover
#

It's not impossible, but even "sacc your 13 worst creatures" still does a lot

#

At best you keep an overlord or a ghostly dancers or whatever ig

twilit canyon
#

and they get to make more tokens and draw more cards off the innocence

golden plover
#

If they do that they're playing it for 1

#

And they can probably kill the rest of your board with what's in hand too

#

I think this card has potential to be stupid good

#

It's a VERY strong boardwipe in black

twilit canyon
#

meh

#

again i just dont think u care about it

#

very few spots where it is fully better than deadly cover-up

golden plover
#

Any time it's not actually a wrath it only costs 1

twilit canyon
#

you dont wanna be in that spot too

#

it means either you are so far ahead on board

#

or you are so far behind it never matters

golden plover
#

I don't realistically think it's getting played for 1 that often

#

Although do note that it's creatures total

twilit canyon
#

if it counted planeswalkers maybe

gritty nest
#

Blasphemous doesn’t hit planeswalkers too though correct?

twilit canyon
#

correct

golden plover
#

There's what... Two relevant planeswalkers in standard rn?

#

I think it's fine

twilit canyon

its in the principle since they outright asked us if we would like more walkers again

Got a wild solution for y'all

A slot for a Universes Within card in a bonus rare slot

A "list" of universes within cards

Could even call it that

Tbh I dunno why they don't just use a list for that when they need to

they got rid of the list because people kept getting confused by it

there were posts on the subreddit every day where people were asking why they opened a card from another set

Damn Alchemy is not doing well

#

Considering it's only at 10% of games played and that's with all the pushing of it the client does

#

(It's the default format for new players and new decks)

copper pecan
#

it's still doing better than explorer and timeless

modern minnow
#

i mean theyre even undefaulting it

golden plover
#

I mean, Explorer is in a bad place because they refuse to just bridge the 60 card gap to pioneer

#

And because most people don't really know what it is

#

And Timeless is too much of a WC and metagame investment for newer players

#

It's obviously gonna struggle the most

copper pecan
#

i'm gonna be real with you i really doubt that pioneer is going to be much more popular on arena than explorer currently is

#

its main difference from historic (being a paper format) is just not something that most players care about

twilit canyon
#

alchemy is doing bad is certainly a take when its stable

copper pecan
#

alchemy is doing as well as it ever has

twilit canyon

bad enough that they are hiring more people to focus specifically on alchemy
