I'll take this a step further: I don't understand the need to draw completely random stuff on magic cards. I mean, why do I need to look at random anime character #647 while playing a game? I've never been in the middle of a game of magic and thought, "Shit, I really need to see a picture of Naruto right fucking now, waiting till I get home to my computer to google one of the 6 million pictures they have on the internet isn't going to cut it."

This is also relevant. I have seen some really cool alters, when they actually have to do something with the flavour of the card, like death of Superman on Hero's downfall and stuff like that, but really, just some random crap? There is someone there trying to sell a Beta Island for 40 Euros because someone painted a random anime bikini woman on it for christs sake!

the depressing thing is riplab could do pretty much anything and be considered by the Lee Dulles of the world to be the same one way or the other. this leads me to believe we should grandstand in the most absurd and indefensible way possible cuz f it

Yeah CML gets it. At least on april first let us be the dweebs and jerks that Anthony Avitolio thinks we are or do something absolutely out of character like make a list of artifacts you would cube by powerlevel and cubesize in order to decide how big a cube must be before you can play Haunted Plate Mail etc.

I... I let people draw on (foil) cards they straight-up donate to my cube, as long as they don't block rules text/mana cost etc. There are only a couple that I'd keep out of kids' hands, but most are just stupid phrases (Vampire Nighthawk saying "I'm on team Jacob"). I'll see if I can scan my gore-house chainwalker on which the person broke down what is going on in the art ("why cage?" etc.) It's the only one I'm considering getting a new copy of. I've never actually met anyone with the infamous anime girl lands.

I let people draw on and sign my basics, but in both cases that is something personalized by the people playing, printing vaginas and boobs and putting them on the cards are just off-putting.

Explain something to me. What is the appeal of having altered and custom cards with naked women on them, cartoons or real? Is it just something to masturbate to in your basement? I just don't see the appeal, but... (obviously a tad NSFW) https://www.magiccardmarket.eu/?mai...=&idMetacard=2923&sortBy=rating&resultsPage=7

I am inclined to disagree with Ahadabans. It's okay though because we appear to agree on most things.

I assume this is something sorta fun and racy and silly. Like pulp magazine covers are titillating and fun even if you aren't planning on ever finding and reading the issue. Why do some people like to put a pot leaf on all kinds of stupid stuff? Whatever who cares.

The one with Tamiyo really pisses me off. One thing I like about her is she looks so awesome without being made hot or sexual. Pretty rare for a female magic card.

yeah and what would the upcoming set be in this analogy

hint: it has enemy colors

edit: let us pause and consider how much better-designed shadowmoor was. let us praise its incomparable Scuttlemutt, its dynamic and challenging color-matters theme, its utter commercial failure.

i mean he's been answering a lot of questions about wedges in the past while but i sort of would be surprised if they do it 2 sets after a ravnica set, aren't people sick of multicolor?

EVENTIDE HAS NO WEDGES. but it's the first set with five enemy-color gods since EVE!!

look at it this way: I put Godhead of Awe in Cube to trigger Ephara, God of the Polis by her lonesome. my English major mentality tells me they intended to make that joke, even if it's kinda lame

Divinity of Pride -> Athreos
Deity of Scars -> Pharika
Overbeing of Myth -> Kruphix
Dominus of Fealty -> Keranos
Nobilis of War -> Iroas

etc

Aw... I used to try to play offline, then people left the country... Then they came back! I might get an 8-man for the first time in a couple of months this week.
