Man what the fuck is this

magic players were always the most cancerous tcg fanbase and thought themselves superior to ygo and pokemon

now they're the fortnite of card games

lmfaoing my fuckin ass off

Final Fantasy has been flopping so hard they've reported to making the IP into a low budget turn based card battler.

Laissez-faire economic progress, not to be confused with egregious corporate incest.

lightning pits

Explain

You will kill Aerith for counters.

MTG has always been trying to crack Asian markets lmao

Isnt that what duel Masters was all about?

and it actually took off in Japan but didn't stick at all in the West so they killed it

Gonna buy it, thanks

first set i actually want. dunno if a booster box is worth 250 bucks tho

MOMMY MOMMY THEY ADDED JRPG CHARACTERS MOMMY PLEASE PICK ME UP MOMMY IM SCARED MOMMY

You're looking in the wrong places, you should be able to pre-order them still for $140-160.

Nah dawg im a grown man. I charge on my card since its basically free money, and my buddies who invest in magic cards told me the value will only go up

I dont think anyone expected E33 to be as big as it is. Lies of P level at most, which was also a great game, but E33 has shaken up the entire year with its reception. Can't fault anyone for missing that.

I hope Lightning's pits get their own card

Did they get offered a deal with E33? Because sets are usually designed and drawn for years in advance. If they did it could have likely been a very early build of the game.

no, anon is just engaging in a bit of shitposting

Anon he clearly fucked up the line and instead of making it parallel he skewed it so its off and looks way worse than it actually is

Commander took over every format

Every set is hat shit

UB being Standard legal

Most card art nowadays is ugly as shit

Increase prices on UB sets

Have as many UB sets a year as regular MtG sets

I truly hope something big happens that fucks over MtG hard in the future.

This looks like bland AI art

I doubt it. Was just commenting that I don't think any of the brands famous for cross marketing looked at E33 and thought

Oh, THAT game is going to enter and dominate the gaming zeitgeist midway through 2025, we should reach out

I was excited for E33, but with it being on UE5 it does, at a glance, look like any other relatively independent games that come out (Lies of P, Where the Winds Meets, Tides of Annihilation, Crimson Desert, etc.); now that it's become a runaway hit we might see stuff later on. I just don't think anybody could be faulted for missing it. E33 looked like a unique game coming out. It's become THE game since release. Oblivion remaster has already passed into last week and DS2 chatter is still overshadowed by E33 praise. Total dark horse.

I have a feeling Spider-Man is going to be a huge bomb

Do you not know how to spell "retarded"? Fucking ironic.

Magic is dead, hop on Riftbound

I doubt hasbro is making anything on it. They even had to create universe within version of the marvel stuff since disney wont let them use it on their online clients.

Anon there's this thing called depth and the Z-axis that I think you might have forgotten about
He's holding it at an angle and away from himself

Most of the plain background ff cards are usually official art cropped into cards. I just hope they release version of the card titled aerith and aeris just to fuck with people.

retard

No? The only cards with SE concept art are the reskinned bonus sheet cards, everything else is original art.

Dude, they announced and set preorders for this set four months ago and they sold out of everything in 4 hours.
The $450 collector booster boxes sold out in 10 minutes and are now selling for $700+

This is going to make Hasbro ridiculous amounts of money.

aerith

Oh no

Oh shit collector box giveaway?!

it's May, anon

A retarted business decision

WRONG
Shit's going to sell like gangbusters. Is it retarded? Yes. Will it piss off the existing player base that they have to sit across from the Green Goblin equipping the Buster Sword? already has. But will it make money? You bet your sweet, ripe virgin ass it will. At least this quarter.
Still gay though. If I hadn't quit years ago I quit again, twice.

Never played magic before.
What's the appeal? Is it fun?

best card game in the world, managed by the worst company.

It's the most flexible, worst balanced card game on the market. Amazing to deck build for, not amazing to play. Lore was pretty neat like 10 years ago before they made it super gay theme park shit.
Still probably the best casual TCG on the market.

I dont know who that is. Is she in the pack

Notice how literally nobody gives a fuck about any FF design unless it's done by Nomura

Lightning's hairy pussy

one of the best magic sets from the last few years

FF at least fits MTG's aesthetic in a general sense and they share a good many concepts. Modern day earth based mythologies like Fallout and Marvel are an absolute travesty, however.

scalper bait

This. I can get behind an FF crossover since the two are vaguely similar enough in concept as fantasy universes (and LOTR for that matter). Spongebob, Marvel, etc are fucking gross. FF probably would've been much better received by players if we didn't have all this other out of place shit that came before.

do people still pay attention to mtg after they made aragorn a negro?

AIrith

half the set is just cid clones

the absolute state

*ruins your game*

Desperation

this game is beyond funcopop now
like $1000 per year to collect these stupid cards just to play the game. nope

just print proxies and play with your friends, people still giving money to hasbro have mental illness

this whole set looks like fanmade chinese dogshit, and im not even trying to be contrarian or edgy. actual fanmade art looks better than this

The sad result of WOTC finding early success in terms of sales for their first few collaborations between MTG and other IPs and Hasbro being Hasbro.

2 coolest FF characters

holy based

Bait

Slightly less offensive corporate whoring is still corporate whoring.
D&D > 40K(if you know actual MtG lore) > LOTR > FF > literally anything else they've done.
D&D I find acceptable because a.) WotC and b.) Zedikar, anything else is shit and you should feel bad for apologizing for it.

for anyone not in the know: this was a limited time new art reprint you had to special order. it wasn't part of a retail set.

Slightly less offensive corporate whoring is still corporate whoring.

Honestly who gives a fuck? All the nerds whining about this shit will never not be funny to me when it matters so very little and MTG aesthetics have always been all over the fucking place anyways. Truly a case of people looking for things to whine and bitch about.

Transformers also fits if you know Transformers lore

your angle is off, look how it starts at the button of the handle and on the other side its more towards the top.
your testing method is faulty

I sort of wanna cop the Last Airbender set but how are they gonna pad out with generic "creature" cards?

t. hasbro exec

soldiers, generic benders, all the different spirits and blended animals

MTG aesthetics have always been all over the fucking place anyways

You're a nigger. I have nothing else to add.

set one is generic wizards

set two is Arabian nights

set 3 is mechs and robot wizards

it's been a mess and you can't convince me otherwise.

One of the few good things to say about Lightning is that she was hot and had nice tits. This art took both of that away from her.

no it wasn't

troon art

... yes it was?

Worth it just for the new Nomura art. Full res fucking when

Lightning never had tits. Her sister was the one that actually had nice in-game tits accentuated by her outfit.
