How appropriate, discounted negros on the auction block.
Hahah. Brilliant characterization.
What percentage of MTG players are black? These kind of actions aren't to get black members it's for the faggy white players to feel more anti-racist.
I'd rather play duel masters. It's literally the same mechanics and none of the faggotry
I’ve said the same thing about sci fi books when the sad puppies stuff began. Like the Witcher. How many black ppl were avid readers of the Witcher? I’m sure there were some but they would’ve watched it regardless. Same thing with comics I asked where are all these girls clamoring to read comics
They have Transformers and My Little Pony cardsets. And I thought the Planeswalker mechanic ruined the game by being basically a game-ending card.
Not many, all the nerdy blacks play Yu-Gi-Oh.
lmao blacks on sale
I thought we all agreed that the correct discount is 40% off.
15%
Around when did MTG fall off the deep end? I hear it used to be a lot of fun
the moment it axed its lore.
The moment it decided it needed to have "lore" instead of just being a fun card game.
... it always had lore. Read the flavor text. And play the Microprose 1997 PC game.
I'd say the moment they decided they wanted to be cardboard Fortnite, but I'm sure more learned individuals could point to earlier moments. They have saturated the shit out of their market.
Depending on who you ask, either Time Spiral for the older crowd, or the LotR set for the younger crowd.
For me it was Innistrad - I thought double-sided cards in a game where the back sides have to be identical was a dumb idea that should have been shelved before it hit production.
On the ideology front, probably when they banned some old cards ("Invoke Prejudice" was one, I think) for leftist reasons.
I had to protect my beta cards!
I like penny sleeves bc theyre cheap and feel nicer than the dragon sleeves. But that means I gotta double up if there's a single doublesided card
Pssh, you youngins.
The correct answer is Fallen Empires / Ice Age / Fourth Edition
Fallen Empires was all chaff, tedious and completely lackluster. FE teed-up the shit. Fourth Edition reprinted a lot of rare, valuable stuff with worse art, and faggoted the tap symbol for no fucking reason. This is when censorship rolled in as well.
Ice Age is when they knew they've got you, and screwed around with the rarities. Also it was clear that this was going forward as a milking operation.
This is all content complaints. A more adult answer would easily say 1999, when Wizards of the Coast got bought by Hasbro. This set the scene for future wokery. I can't exactly explain why, but WotC buying TSR in '97 also rankled. But to buy TSR and then get folded into fucking Hasbro a couple years later is something akin to a war crime.
Oh, come on, I loved Mirage! The Urza's set were pretty much when I stopped, because I was getting laid by a tall blonde varsity track runner from the next county over and going to college the next year.
You know that's funny, I forgot that part: This'll be hard for young folks to understand, but MtG was a great way to find good pussy. Somebody went and grabbed a chick and said "You've got to come see what this guy is about to do--he's going to blow up the whole table at once." She did, I did, and now we've got kids.
Nah, the girl I taught over lunch with a pizza I brought to school only dated me a few months. This girl I met on AOL AIM local chatroom later that schoolyear and lost my virginity behind a bush in her side yard beside a shed that summer.
My MtG group almost fell apparently due to 2 dudes competing over the one girl. She was pretty chill, they were not.
LOL Many such cases!
After left my school's magic scene with my war bride, similar events happened with several young ladies in the scene, and across numerous men. Some of them ended up together, married, sometimes the lady ended up with one dude, then another, then another. The guys are all "friends" and stayed that way, which I always found weird.
Your post is hilarious to me. That’s exactly the era when I played magic and, more specifically, when I stopped playing magic.
The writing was on the wall. If you'd been playing a couple years at that point, and were smart, you could see where it was going. Then you had a choice: Keep investing in beanie babies with a pretty okay game behind it (that they were clearly going to fuck with, forever) or jump ship. I jumped, found other shit to do and other places to put my money.
Somewhere in a drawer in a bureau in a shed I've still got some old beta, unlimited, dark, arabian, legends, unlimited, and 3rd edition cards knocking around. Don't even care what they're worth, they're the kids' problem eventually. For my money you can tear up a Chaos Orb and sprinkle that shit over the whole goddamn company.
You may want to rethink that. A friend of mine sold all of his cards (of that era) a decade or so back, and made some serious bank; It gave him a pretty decent downpayment on a new car.
The creation of the Reserved List cemented the priorities of the secondary market over the quality of the game.
This focus shift eventually lead to Magic Online Digital Objects, which strikes me as a test model prototype for crypto and central bank digital currency.
The underlying game mechanics are still strong and the game can still be fun in formats that limit what cards players have access to.
Around 2007, but Portal was the precursor.
Gotcha. Such a shame
Someone suggested the Cockatrice app, and I still play the 1997 MicroProse game/expansions every once in a while.
dont want BLM or rainbow faggotry in your gacha/live service games? play korean or chinese gacha games. seems a lot asian gacha games make somewhat decent story/mechanics/world building, so they caught up in quality. And 98% of the characters and NPC's doesn't break "racial" immersion. you can pretty much pretend asian characters are white and white characters are asian since its usually interchangeable. asians make better "euro-centric" fantasy games than most euro studios now lol. almost all the asian MMORPG and gachas are euro centric, chinese/korean/japanese centric.
Plus, the chinks, gooks, and nips still know how to put pretty girls in their games.
I play MTG with my friends with the Cockatrice app. No gatcha bullshit, every card is available to build for free, it even updates when cards are spoiled and previewed so you can play them before they're released.
Hold on...
So they're letting me BUY a negro?!?
AND AT A DISCOUNT???
I must be jewish!
I'm of a mind where I say have at it. Capitalize hard on these idiots. Fuck MTG and fuck Wizards of the Coast, but making a buck off of virtue signalers is a legal move in my book.
