    General Do you enjoy playing Chess?

    It's been decades since I played, but I used to enjoy playing chess against my father when I was young.

    You could try reinstalling MSE. I have never had that problem with the square background on any of the Magic cards I created in MSE.

    Regretfully, I don't think I can help you. I do know that most templates are way simpler than Magic's interconnected, multi-foldered structure, so if you're lucky the Pokémon script simply uses a background image for the rarity background, in which case you can replace that (square) image with a...

    Yes. Anything that mentions casting or playing is affected. Flashback <cost> (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.): Affected. Madness <cost> (If you discard this card, discard it into exile. When you do, cast it for its madness cost or put it into...

    I don't disagree, except I <3 Lumbering Lightshield. This is a really neat defensive tool for white. I like that this keeps affecting the spell, so it can really mess with, for example, flashback spells.

    Yeah, I know, the word just has this dismissive, gatekeepy ring to it.

    Apart from calling people boomers, agree with everything there :) I will note that Hearthstone seems to be able to generate money as an online only game though, but yes, I think paper Magic makes them way more money.

    Cool! :) This was a really fun batch! You didn't answer this question though ;) These were pictures of sleeved cards, and they look a lot crisper than my home-printed MSE custom proxies. Photoshop to MCP?

    The death of (paper) Magic has been foretold a hundred times by now, but it's arguably more popular than it ever was (aside from that pandemic thing), so I think agreeing to disagree is indeed the best option here. Only time will tell if this time someone was right :)

    I think the majority of Magic players hardly ever watches other players online. At least not to such an extent that they're very aware of the shape of the evolving meta during those three weeks a new set is only available on Arena. That does not mean I think no Magic players watch othe players...

    First, I'm pretty sure most players don't watch other people play the cards online. Second, of those that do, a lot get excited by what they see and inspired to play the deck (or something similar) they saw one of their favorite content creators play. A lot of players are not rich enough to try...

    I might have misunderstood your "the future is online remark", but taken together with your "Magic: the Gathering players are no longer the focus group of Wizards of the Coast. Now they tender to Magic the Gathering Arena players." it sure sounded to me like you were lamenting the end of "real"...

    I think the idea was it punishes fetches, except your opponent can play their fetch on their turn, and crack it on your, so that doesn't really work unless they need the fetched land immediately. Maybe "Whenever a land enters the battlefield from an opponent's library, that player may put a card...

    Oh, by the way, seek puts a card into its owner's hand, so I don't think it's really comparable to Oath of Druids. It's basically a tutor mechanic with fuzzy targets, which you can't really do in paper Magic. For example, seek looks like it could be implemented as a "reveal cards from the top of...

    I'll talk to you again in ten years when paper Magic still exists, and still gets paper exclusive products like Modern Horizons. I mean, I don't care for any of these because I don't play Arena, but it's not like the sky is falling and the end is nigh. I encourage everyone who thinks this...

    If you trigger it on damaging a player, the weak body just gets body-slammed in combat. By making it a combat damage trigger, you play into Darkren's strengths much better. Firstly, there's the double strike, so if they block with only one creature, they have to sac that creature before it gets...
