Why is MtG lore so shit?
Cause it is a card game, but you autistic nerds needed context for a 2/2 bear smashing into a 1/4 Zombie.

Why have you made this thread multiple times?

>gays in Theros

>Blakula in Innistrad
What next?
>>46251654
>Gays in Theros
It's almost as if they were trying to be historically accurate. Also, who? I don't think I heard about this, somehow
>Tranny in Tarkir
Literally one and literally who cares
>Blakula in Innistrad
This made me laugh, and I can only hope there will be more blaxploitation cards in the future
Also, there's no way Echo Mage wasn't a trace of Kanye
As for what's next, maybe some otherkin or some literal bestiality?
>>46251654
>gays in Theros
The Greeks were one of the most homoerotic cultures in all of history.
Unless of course you were attempting to be sarcastic, in which case you failed.
>>46251654
there are more blerewolves than blaculas
i'm like fairly sure most of the black people on innistrad are werewolves
Because WotC is unable to accept criticism, kind of like a spoiled autism-ridden child.
>>46252277
Oh man thats great.
>>46251654
>tranny in Tarkir
First I heard of this. Who?
>>46249334
The design team keeps trying to shoehorn in Walkers in everywhere instead of putting forth minimal effort to build a decent setting.

Feast your eyes on this nobel-prize-level literature:

We literally had this thread like less than three days ago.
It's because all card game lore is shit.
Except Pokemon.
>>46253104
L5R lore was so shit it transcended the card game and wrecked the RPG lore as well.
>>46251928
>Also, there's no way Echo Mage wasn't a trace of Kanye
>Kanye
That's because he fucking wasn't. He looks nothing like fucking Kanye.
Echo Mage is clearly a trace of Michael Boatman. Look him up.

I like the idea - the vampires look out for exotic or skilled humans to embrace.
Them being particularly taken by the rare travellers who survive the perilous voyage from the dark continents makes perfect sense.
>>46253052
I don't know why the fact is mentioned at all, is it even going somewhere with that, or is it just going to mention it then drop it forever? Is that orc significant somehow, is there some kind of followup on him, or was Alesha supposed to be the focus?
>>46255093
In the Khans Timeline the Wingmate Roc was named after him.
>>46251654
>Blakula in Innistrad
One of the most famous MtG vampire, Crovax, was black.
>>46256285
Good point.
>>46256285
Most vampires are Black. There's a couple Red.
>>46252277
>Maro
Tamiyo joining the GateWatch Avengers is disrespectful?
>>46256463
He's mad they called it the Jacetice League
>>46256448
>>46256487
No, he's mad because some dipshit spammed him with a bunch of shit about the Jacetice League and most of it was probably highly derogatory
With Kozilek and Ulamog perma deadwhich is fucking stupid, takes all the imposing power out of the eldrazi.Will we see ingest as a mechanic return with the return of Emurakul? Why the fuck would Bolas want to get some Eldrazi killed? Why did Ugin claim he and the other oldwalkers couldn't kill the Eldrazi?
>>46255093
The singular point of the story and character is to be trans, so that WOTC gets all the applause pandering earns them.
>>46256285
Was he black because before becoming a vampire he originated in a region of black people, or because someone wanted to show how progressive a company his publishers were?
>>46261184
from what I remember, he came from the same country as Gerrard, so it was supposed to be some multiracial place.
He was also some kind of important noble, so that could be made of what you will.
>>46261237
So not like Blackula then.
>>46255093
It has literally no point, nor bearing on anything. It doesn't further the character, and in fact is a good story about Alesha being a jackoff for no reason.
Also we were pretty sure he went into the mountains and got possessed by his grandmother or something.
>>46261237
>from what I remember, he came from the same country as Gerrard
Incorrect. Gerrard was from Benalia. Crovax was from Urborg.
>>46261957
Amazing, have you seen how your trip matches your name?
>>46261184
>cannot read when said card was published
>cannot understand card was made around 15 years before his "progressive boogeymen" were a thing.
Sure, and the Mirage block was all about we wuz Kings and making up for past wrongs.
Try to know a bit of history about the game if you are going to bitch about points you know nothing about.
For others asking his origin, wealthy family whose estate was in Urborg.
>>46249334
It's a CCG - what the fuck does anyone expect of it, literature?
>>46262679
That's the entire point you dense retard. Crovax was ok, Blackula isn't.
>>46249334
Because they would rather try to score mainstream media brownie points and appeal to people who do not and will never play the game than write something good.
