I absolutely adore this game, but imo it’s a terrible candidate for a remaster. The graphics were already stylized so I doubt a graphics update would make much difference. It’s a puzzle game so the replayability is already low. And I can’t imagine that developer commentary get people excited about buying the game again.
I wish this was successful, but I can see why this went sideways.
Ah, that’s a good comparison! I don’t agree with the original comment - I think outlaws has a fun flavor, and I doubt they’re going to be using that keyword outside of these sets. I might have an issue if they did.
To your point, historic never resonated with my, though I see what they were trying to do with it.
I’m guessing they meant the reference to “outlaws.”
Looks like a really fun spells-matter card with strong effects. But I’d be surprised if this made it into Standard at 5 MV.
It’s been a while since I’ve used it, but the site “clicked” with me quickly. I used to be an avid tappedout user
Oof that’s a tough one… mull to 5 is rough, they probably figured they’d have a better chance to draw those lands, especially if the curve was good.
Esper taking a huge chunk of the field, but honestly still pretty diverse metagame. It might have something to do with the bigger card pool. I’m excited to see what comes out on top!
Ah you’re right! I agree then, this might have a place as a 1-drop in a Bargain synergy deck.
Thanks for this, my brain was trying to justify that “choose” also counts as “target”.
That’s a rough sell… There’d have to be an amazing payoff at 2MV to justify the card disadvantage.
Honestly, that’s great that you enjoy them! I think the negativity is the sets aren’t self-contained. Once they’re released, they’re a part of magic and the eternal formats forever. Especially for those who have played for decades, that identity shift of the game is jarring.
My take is the two UB and MH3 in the lineup are very polarizing, leading to negative perceptions overall.
While I don’t feel as negatively about these sets as the other poster, the attempt to be “flashy” strikes me the wrong way. Even though it’s been years now, I feel the same was true for the sets you listed in your response.
I understand that they’re trying to market to a broad audience and generate hype for cool new worlds / themes / crossovers, but I’d prefer if the sets were slower and we spent more time on each plane.
I realize this topic has been beaten to death and I have a bit of old man bias with this, but I’m not thrilled that trend is continuing.
I’m sure the next few days before the surgery are going to be tough emotionally for both of you. It sounds like your SO likely doesn’t realize how worried they are or how much it’s affecting them, but giving them a little space is a good move.
Try not to beat yourself up for getting upset - it’s a perfectly normal reaction, especially in a stressful situation like this. Luckily there’re a few days before the procedure so you can hopefully discuss it and be supportive of each other. This internet stranger is sending love!
Wow wasn’t expecting to see an Addie LaRue reference today! Who’s to say that the thought of “Ralph” doesn’t trigger thoughts or feelings in an individual that affects them later on today, later on this week, etc. I agree it’s a beautiful sentiment.
P.S. That’s probably my favorite book I’ve read in the last few years.
What the heck… That sounds like an absolutely miserable experience. I would have done the same. It wasn’t an optional boss or anything?
Which level(s) will you be playing at? I personally prefer the Barbarian class’s flavor over the Fighter, but depending on level, you’ll get more attacks and ASIs as a Fighter.
Overall, I’d say a Champion Fighter would be more straightforward, but a Berserker Barbarian would be more fun to play.
