Considering how artifacts before Zendicar produced assloads of colorless mana already, its really only Zendicar relevant, because wizards had a lobotomy and decided to shit out so much land smoothing/color fixing, and mana accelerant, ?therefore colorless has to be important?
At least they finally differentiated Generic mana and colorless mana with a symbol, They just made the symbol suck

Remember "Colorless is Important" is just "Artifacts are Important: Lite, Lobotomy Edition"

Seriously the way WOtC handled Eldrazi is tragic
They should never had Creature Cards, and only ever referenced indirectly
Eldrazi threats should have been combo win conditions, or alt win conditions, not "Timmy: the card"
Eldrich Horror Terrors are not physical threats dammit, and certainly not PHYSICALLY BEATABLE
Hell I assumed the hedrons where just really effective puzzles, and the Eldrazi had the worst kind of OCD and had to solve them all, so it was really a "slow them down" tactic

That would mean that you could pay it with every land (since they are colorless) but that's wrong.

>>44663312

In Magic terms Cthulhu is more like an Arbor Colossus than an eldrazi, big and difficult for normal humans to deal with but without any significant role to play in anything or any advantages other than strength. He's the poster child for the mythos for some reason but he's basically as much of a nobody as us.

A 12/12 Yog-Sothoth would be an insult but that's essentially what they decided to do, because obviously six knights should be able to slay sentient space-time.

I haven't really had opportunities to play some casual MTG in a while. My group disbanded, and my current group is more focused on EDH.

>Favorite casual deck?
My America deck. Aside from the color identity, it is a human soldier tribal deck with some eagles and explosions thrown in for good measure. Fun times.
>Most ridiculous play you've ever seen pulled off?
Nothing memorable, unfortunately.
>any weird homebrew formats your group plays?
I came up with a format that was a mix of Emperor and Archenemy, but we never had six people available to try it out. Another one I've been wanting to try out is based off the old stories a friend told me. They used to play games with huge libraries and 200 life, and then had to argue with each other about how cards worked since the Internet wasn't easily accessible.
>Thoughts on Oath of the Gatewatch cards for your kitchen table decks?
None really appeal to me. My kitchen table decks don't really need to be modified, so I'm mostly noticing a couple of cards for my EDH decks. Stormchaser Mage looks really awesome, though.

The way WOtC handled Eldrazi IS tragic but for the reasons you think it is.

What's tragic about it is not that there are big Eldrazi creatures, there were since forever, that was actually the distinguishing factor of Eldrazi, that they re incredibly vast in power and scope, so much so that you are building an entire deck around summponing one of the Titans and if you manage that, you pretty much won the game. Their sheer overwhelming presence was enough to carry you but you had to work hard to be able to summon them.

And sure, they could be destroyed, but that's just a physical shell they assume to interact within the multiverse, in their own plane of existance they are much like natural forces- gravity, entrophy and magnetism (Kozilek, Emrakul and Ulamog respectively), so it's not like you;re ever capable of "killing" an Eldrazi, it's like trying to kill Gravity. You CAN kill and avatar of gravity, that's the best you could do.

What's tragic about them is that they turned from immesurably vast cosmic horrors with incomprehensible minds... Into large tentacly monsters breeding a lot of small tentacly critters that work in swarms.

The whole thing is backwards, the Eldrazi themsevles should never have been given direct agency, what should have happened is what happened with phyrexia- different colours exhibitting different virtues of the plane. So black cards that are based around idea of cults of destruction that try to summon the eldrazi through sacrifice and schemes just so they can ramage. Blue cards based around the udea of trying to control the Eldrazi and using the Titans themsevles as proxies. Red cards based around the idea of sheer respect and admiration for the pure destructive power these beings possess. White cards trying to redeem the Eldrazi and use them for the fight against darkness. And of course green cards just treating Eldrazi as a part of natural order in a twitsed dellusion, you know, JUST LIKE ACUTAL ZENDIKARI ANIMISTS BELIEVED.

In most versions of the mythos, Cthulhu is one of the weakest elder gods out there, and the actual weakest in some.

Also in some versions, Cthulhu is on earth because he's literally hiding from someone/something else.

Point is, Cthulhu be a broke-ass hoe what can't get no cheese whiz from a dolla store, so bitch nigga be slingin' dope to the kids to make a buck.
>>
>>44665330
There could still be some tribal elements to it, because cards like All is Dust, Titan's Presence and Complete Disregard are very thematic to the way Eldrazi operate. And although I don't like the idea of Devoid, I think the very premise behind it is idootic, a card that has a mana symbol in it's cost is of that colou-r, full stop, end of discussion (just slapping a keyword on the card doesn't make it stop being that color(, the idea that some Eldrazi spells have to be paid with specific mana isn't in itself bad as long as those are noncreature spells and it's obvious that those are the result of lesser planar beings trying to emulate or call the power of the Titans.

And besides there is a lot of the design space within the Ally emchanics. There is hundreads of different Ally possibilties- Kor Allies, Dimir Allies, Warrior Allies, Vampire Allies, Human Allies, elemental Allies etc. Why are there no Eldrazi allies? You'd think that given that these creature are revered as deities in the lore would mean there would be actual cults of them, there would be mortal folllowers and people trying to summon them, so why aren't there?

And going off of it, it would even potentially open up the doors for pro-Eldrazi planeswalkers that would maybe interact with colorless creatures and spells. I'm thinking of something like "+1 -reveal a card from your hand. This card becomes colorless (any mana symbol in it's cost becomes 1 of any color)", "-2 -look at the top 7 cards of your Library. If there is a colorless card among them, you may reveal it and put it into your hand" and "-6 - search your Library for a colorless card, reveal it and put it on the Battlefield. It cannot be countered".

Now I have little experience doing card-design, but isn't that already much more interesting than what we got?
>>
>>44665535
Like, the biggest issue with the Eldrazi is that they are missmanaged. They were irst imagines as these impossibly vast cosmic horrors, nigh unstopable titans of distruction, whose thought fo genocide are beyond human understanding and then they were used for the most boring, lame-ass standard "the Titans are breaking out, we need to assemble to stop them" story. They are a perfect example of how to NOT use your cosmic horror gods, whoever was in charge of that simply did not udnerstand what Eldrazi ARE.
>>
>>44664623
I prefer playing as few cards that don't flip delver as possible. My modern delver has 12 creatures and 21 lands and those numbers too high.

Just Opulent palaces aren't enough fixing for you. I'd replace some Forests and Swamps with comes-into-play-tapped duals since you only need blue mana on turn one.
>>
The Eldrazi never seemed that close to Lovecraft's creatures in my book, just shared a superficial characteristics.

They're closer to Warcraft's demons. Beings that exist in the in-between and controll meat puppets on our world to do whatever they do.

When you said that the eldrazi shouldn;t be physical threats that shouldn't be physically betaable, I assume dyou mean there should be no Eldrazi creatures. I disagree, I think there should be, they should even be possible to remove. I don't really like the idea of, say an Edlrazi tribal sorcery cards that says "if x and y z you win the game". I think the Eldrazi are much mroe visceral and scary if they can actually be physically summoned, it creates this feeling of actual interaction with something so impossibly powerful. You don't really "feel" the impact of a "if x you win" button, but Kozilek entering the Battlefield? Oh yeah, you feel THAT.

Thats not a combo win, WotC/Maro hates combo win with a passion, AND they are doing exactly that Alt win in this new set with the blue heron alignment, so you're also ignorant

>Thats not a combo win, WotC/Maro hates combo win with a passion, AND they are doing exactly that Alt win in this new set with the blue heron alignment, so you're also ignorant

Which is what I said I didn't like so I don't understand what you're barking about? Combos are uninteractive and the alt win conditions simply do fit the eldrazi aethetic.

>You are a dipshit who doesn't understand cosmic horror, and would be one of the first to be consumed by an actual cosmic horror

I know that I cannot be bothered to feel scared of something that has no weight to it at all.

But ok, since you're so well versed in cosmic horror, how would you make the eldrazi work? How would you make the cards evocative of what you consider cosmic horror to be?

No, you ave no reading comprehension, the TITANS THEMSELVES SHOULD NOT BE CORPOREAL
Several minion monsters in the lovecraftian vein where still massive
For example, Have you ever read any of the Hellboy universe?

>how would you make the eldrazi work?
now you reveal yourself
you didn't read anyone else's posts, and you didn't even read your own

a short list, for the Titans attributes includes:
Indirect reference
Unbeatable/Inevitable
Incorporeal
Inescapable

therefore
Make cards that indirectly reference them, Win games, and are hard to impossible to counter(literally and figuratively),
and i'm not even a fucking blue player

In short they should have made eldrazi cards in the set clearly broken, and then retconned those cards by making them with non standard card boarders (like silver and gold boarders)

Yeah, no, I don't think somebody who honestly wants WOtC to release broken cards just because he thinks it fits his idea of what comsic horror constitutes of is worth taking seriously.

Eldrazi have to be playable. While I liked cards like Suffer the Past I considered them to be a prelude to one of the Titans actually coming down, because if you don't have the actual Eldrazi actually interact with the world then there is no punchline to the setup. You don't win with Eldrazi, you win with things referncing the Eldrazi and that's just not fun.

Man, that's hard to say. I have literally dozens of casual 60-card decks, because I like having a bunch of variety in playstyles and flavor.

I do tend to lean toward the ones with a "

>Most ridiculous play you've ever seen pulled off?
I have/had (it's evolved a lot since this story) a janky G/W lifegain deck using a lot of Kamigawa cards. Lots of recurring life gain between Ghost-Lit Redeemers, bouncing Haru-Onnas off each other with Bounteous Kirin, the white and green Hondens, bouncing Conclave Phalanx with Eiganjo Free-Riders to play it again each turn to profit from the tokens off Honden of Life's Web.

My friend had a G/W Allies deck with some way or another to repeatably bounce/flicker his creatures so he could trigger all the EtB abilities every turn. Don't remember what it was exactly, but long story short this game ended up working out to both of us gaining more life each turn than the other could match in damage. Even with him swinging with a bunch of Allies with protection from my colors, I could still chump block the one or two strongest with a colorless Spirit token and gain back the difference and then some next turn. And he had life gain from Ondu Clerics, and my deck didn't have terribly heavy offense regardless.

And neither of us had any removal in our decks that could alter the situation substantially, so it ended up degenerating into a stalemate that ultimately came down to who would draw out their deck first.

>any weird homebrew formats your group plays?
The weirdest my group's done lately is combining two or more of Planechase, Archenemy, Vanguard, and/or EDH.

But back in the day, when I was first getting into MtG, my group would occasionally play "Frontier Magic" -- basically, take all your lands out, shuffle them up face-down in a big grid, and march your creatures around the board like a turn-based strategy game.

Meant to say I lean toward ones with a "righteous forces of good" sort of bent. So stuff like Soldier and Knight tribal decks or Boros.

I want out.

What's the best way to get the most out of this? Preferably money, but I want to buy board games with it.

>mostly Theros and Born
I have some bad news for you anon
>>
>>44674802
I'm not looking for bank, just a couple of hundred at most. I bought playsets of every expansion I played so I know I can get some for those. I'm not aiming too high.
>>
>Favorite casual deck
Ham and Eggs
Its red/green boars/pigs with some artifact ramp and a few giant growths and lightning bolts

>>44674631
Sell your thoughtsiezes and foil gods you might get $100, if you have neither of those cards im afraid you wont even get $20for the lot

Maybe it's chinese dumplings (the teochew kind).

Though, theres too much vegetables in it.... eating it would be like rolling around in a grassy field.

You're retarded.

Remember kids, cash out of standard before it rotates

I can't tell if those vegetables are frozen in blocks of ice or are encased in some kind of gel.

The real advice is to never pick up MTG in the first place.
>>
>>44670937

That makes it a lot less surprising, then.

My craziest play was in a competitive 4-man EDH pod.

>drop mana vault turn 1, pass

Forest, lotus petal, channel, emrakul
Thanks for the game, shake hands, shuffle decks

I know its not worth 5, i was trying to help him out
>>
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/spoopy-ghost-deck/

traded an expedition stomping ground for a set of flooded strands and pulled a polluted delta so I fixed my mana base up quite a bit. basic plan is spam tokens and use anthems to swing big, he who hungers takes over the game by picking apart my opponent's hand

Where is the cheapest place for proxy printed cards these days? AliExpress? I want proper printed cards and it's actually pretty pricey to print myself.
>>
>>44679083
I would like to know this too
>>
>>44679083
The guy on ali is fairly cheap, you pay more for the better quality (i.e white core for play with friends, black core to almost pass off as real) if its for casual or cube just get white core
>>
>>44679708

Which guy? There's a few that offer set lists for pretty cheap but it seems you only get one of each card.
>>
>>44679964
Correct, if you want playsets you need to buy the set x4
All the stores only offer a set list
>>
>>44679083
Dont bother buying proxies just goto gatherer and save the jpg and print it out and stuck it on a real card, people only buy fakes to goto another town and try sell/trade them and never return, not worth the money
>>

Guy has a nice method for foil proxies, costs maybe $10 for the clear "paper" and acetone and a normal inkjet printer works
>>
>>44675563
>buying magic cards
i never understood this. since the game is 100% based on reading things off paper and having tokens already why doesn't everyone just print off cards they want to use? if you want to get real autistic tape some shit to a deck of playing cards for shuffling.
>>
>>44680439
I print them out and put tokens in sleeves and slide the cut out over it. it's just like playing with a real deck!

huh?

>>44680439
>be this guy
>buy theros block
>might as well had just stuck shit to playing cards
>dont sell it off before rotation
>muh cards

Offer for $20 for the lot still stands so i can make proxys from them
>>
>>44680439
Some guys on /tg/ did this a while ago, found a Chinese guy willing to print good quality cards for about $20 a deck. Some dude on a random forum heard about it and got pissed off about passing the fakes as real

>>44664711 It's not that high powered limited isn't acceptable, it's that high powered commons drive away kitchen table players. Which devastates sales.

Banefire is far better, though

HAH bullshit.

I would give him $20 easy, just for the joy of looking through his cards
