    Sets [J22] Jumpstarting Once More

    The concept itself of Jumpstart was why it was so beloved -- it's fun to play regardless of skill level, and great for getting new folks into the game. It's a big part of how newer players build decks to begin with, so having a level of guidance mixed with randomness is exciting. The 40 unique...

    Yeah, in 2018 with the release of Dominaria. But most of my burn spells precede that, such as: Pia and Kiran NalaarIncinerateArc TrailGoblin Bombardment

    Planeswalker redirection rule eventually made it so cards pre-ruling that say "creature or player [which can then be redirected to a walker]" now say "any target". We went from this to that to this: The majority of burn spells still say "target creature or player" -- at least the ones in my...

    On that note, I would adore a Mountain where you see a small figure of Kiki-Jiki on it summoning his copies in the distance, like the art of Zo-Zu the Punisher except WAY zoomed out.

    Are we combining the threads for the commander sets with their corresponding expansions from now on? I remember there being discussion of that (and I support it) and there's a cool card from the commander expansion I'd like to discuss.

    I hate the term "battlefield" anyways so I'd be happy to see it less frequently. "Comes into play" is a much...cuter? way of saying it IMO

    Card/Deck [MCD] Let's talk about tricks, baby!

    Taking Stonecloaker out after being an (admittedly underdrafted) hero of my cube for its first 8 years of life was one of the most painful moments of my cardboard life. Even my newest players saw it coming, three mana is just a lot for the potential upside here. He's a lot of work. But I mean...

    Skaab Ruinator I recently added Skaab Ruinator at the recommendation of folks here. Sweet card for sure, but it wasn't cast in the one draft played with it (it was in my sideboard oops). What are some good enablers for it I might not already be playing / how do I make it more enticing to draft?

    The most devastating news I've heard all week: no theme lands in Jumpstart 2 :(((((

    Honestly, if you want to make sexy Magic cards, the only way that it should be done is in a 90s dime book style: Again, I'm about as big of an anime fan as you get, but give me more of THIS: and if you REALLY want to give me waifus give me...these:

    You're going to have to work incredibly hard to get me to prefer any low/mid-powered value Golgari card more than Nyx Weaver.

    Jumpstart 1 was an absolute delight with novel designs. Can its first true successor keep the pace? Let's see with our first four cards to start us off! First, the two commander plants: Haste-matters commander gobbo is compelling, especially with all the hasty tokens produced by red's many...

    I've had two kids over the course of the pandemic and recently moved 8,000 miles away from my playgroup of 10+ years, but I still love Magic as much as ever. I certainly relate to many of the feelings you all describe, particularly the disappointment at the gradual decline in design principles...

    No longer oppressive, but still very good. Great turn of events that allows my Cube to happily run a historically relevant and super sweet card.

    General Post your Favourite Unusual Archetype/s

    I run both of these cards, I think they're great at supporting Ux tempo and aggro, which many players wouldn't consider without these kinds of exciting pulls. They're not oppressive either to the degree of an Armageddon, which does more or less the same thing in the deck, but at a much, much...

    I'm actually taking Uro out of my cube next time I find a reasonable Simic card because...it's too good. Honestly, you're not going to have enough cards to escape it twice unless the game is super grindy, and certainly not more than that without you having essentially won from repeated triggers...

    I really do wish they'd use the Secret Lair "technology" to solve some of these common (and reasonable!) gripes from the most enfranchised players. Getting updated wording on cards makes games play better with newer players, too.
