Can someone explain this to me? I thought Alesha was the only trans card. Is there another one now?

>>46052706
Some pedantic faggots and closeted fetishists latched on to the old Olivia art because she "had a dick" when really it was just an error in the art. So they're shitposting about Olivia being trans or whatever the new flavor of the month boogeyman is. Just report the posts and move on.

Nobody latched on to the idea, everyone just thought it was funny that it looked like she had a dick.
Some retards thought it was people seriously thinking she was trans, and started shitposting about how SJWs are ruining magic.

Oh, wait, I misread your post. I thought you were saying people legitimately thought she was trans.
Nah yeah I just like calling her Olivia Bonershorts.
>>46052844
It was a joke, you chucklefuck. It was OBVIOUS what happened. The artist, while drawing, just forgot what they'd done with the knee while they were drawing the feet and drew both without thinking about it. It did, however, create a comical visual effect that made it look like she had a HILARIOUSLY huge penis. It was a fucking joke.
Hell, they actually CALL IT OUT in the new art. See how her knee is *in plain view* and *clearly bent* there? The artist has pointedly corrected the error they originally made. Even the fucking artist thinks you're a reactionary cunt.

>>46054004Disregard the sigarda question. Accidentally posted it in the wrong thread.

As long as you have another madness enabler (heir, ravenous, lightning axe), you can use Olivia to dump a hand of vampires during your opponent's turn.

You could also do it on your turn to benefit from the haste.

I like it too, but you don't get to pick the pile, which makes it considerably worse than Fact of Fiction. You also reveal one less card for the same mana.

Alesha is canonically referred to with female pronouns. To refer to Alesha with male pronouns is to disregard the canon of MtG and to resort to your personal headcanon.
>>46060590
>wanting to play shitty bootleg Fact or Fiction in EDH
>a format in which you can actually play Fact or Fiction
You're the reason every shitty spoiler gets described as "EDH fodder".
>>46060622
You say this like MtG canon is something we all revere here.
>>46058126
So what happens when u pay 0 for X? I draw one card? Can't put one card into two piles
>>46060556
Heterosexual ones.
You know, the ones who actuallyfuck girls.
>>46060654
If you're going to talk about a subject, you should at least acknowledge the canon of the subject.
I mean, I don't revere ASOIAF but I don't run around pretending that Cersei's a strong independent black woman and that Jaime is a FtM trannie. Similarly, you shouldn't run around pretending that male pronouns are used for Alesha when she uses female ones in the canon. If you're going to discuss a topic, at least be factual on it.
>>46060715
You're allowed to make piles of 0. So you just mill yourself for 1 most of the time.
>>46060738
I don't think anyone is discussing the storyline seriously here, just poking fun at the character. This is like getting autistically mad at people calling Olivia "Horsecock" Voldaren a dickgirl for kicks. If this were the lore thread your autismo might be acceptable, but this is not. Calm down.
>>46058282
His ult is litterally screaming "i was intended to be a Tamito card but I'm Jace now".
>>46060738
Alesha is canonically a MtF transsexual. She refers to herself with the feminine pronoun because that's how she views herself. The writers refer to her with feminine pronouns because that's how they write and that's what gets them the most tumblrbucks. If someone decides to refer to her as a "he", that doesn't mean they're disregarding canon, they're not saying "he's not a tranny", they're saying "he's a tranny and I refer to those people by the pronoun appropriate for the biological gender".
This has literally fucking nothing to do with canon.
>>46059174
I wonder who they are talking to.
I hope it'sTamiyo
>>46060789
Calm your tits.
We're getting a Tamiyo next set for sure.
I'm guessing UW to make her different from Jace but still.
>>46060805
It's still the incorrect pronoun in accordance with canon. Personal politics have nothing to do with it.
Does anyone have a link to the old New Phyrexia story where the scientist does a diary/log of his slow corruption via oil? It ends with him splicing himself onto a woman that he was working with at the beginning of the tale. Google-Fu's pretty weak.
>>46060789
>Tamito
Oh well.
>>46060840
>in accordance with the character*
Fixed that for you. I don't think Nissa views or believes herself to be a total bitch but that shouldn't stop anyone from calling her that because "In accordance to canon she is a good girl".
>>46060826
I won't stop worrying until we're sure of it.
>>46060840
>Personal politics have nothing to do with it
You don't seem to be upset when we refer to Liliana as Lili, or Olivia as "Horsecock".
So I wager personal politics is the only fucking reason you care.
>>46060860
I did have it, along with a bunch of other stories from Scars, but it was on the Wizards forums which were taken down for some reason. I had an itching to read the Skithiryx story recently so I'm pretty annoyed about it too.
>>46060917
Opinion of a character is a subjective thing. Pronouns are not.
>>46060978
Clearly they are.
>>46060978
Yes they are.
Look at fucking tumbr, they're making up new ones every day.
People think differently than you, and I know its hard to understand but you are just going to have to accept that.
>>46060978
You're right, they're a biological fact not a cute title you change on a whimsy.
>>46060840
No, it's not. Alesha is male, and identifies as a woman, that much is indisputable, this isn't about your beliefs or social justice. Whether someone wants to refer to that as "he" or "she" is entirely up to them, and saying that using "he" to refer to a male is wrong is fucking retarded, because selecting gendered pronouns based on biological sex rather than assigned gender identity is still grammatically correct. The inverse is also grammatically correct. You get to fucking decide if you call her "he" or "she" and neither option is ignoring canon you dense fucking shit.
>>46060934
Found the one I was looking for!
http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/mirrodin-site-unctus-synod-2011-05-27

>>46060789
I can already imagine a sperg punching his keyboard in rage and mispelled Tamiyo
>>46061127
More like i didn't verify before posting Anon. But whatever's your headcanon, i don't mind.
>>46060840
>It's still the incorrect pronoun in accordance with canon
No it's not.
He is a he that wants to be called she, that's what's going on inside the actual canon.
>>46061432
The narrator uses 'she' though and there's no reason for you to doubt the narrator or assume it is incorrect in its use of pronouns.
>>46061529
It is canonical fact that he is a tranny.
The narrator uses 'she' because the narrator apparently considers transsexualism a valid thing and not a mental disorder that should be discouraged.
The opinion of the narrator on the legitimacy of transsexualism has no impact on my opinion on the subject.
>>46061590
And why is your opinion more valid than the narrator's on matters that exist within a setting of the narrator's creation? The narrator has greater authority there than you do.
>>46061625
Are you trying to argue that being a tranny is somehow fundamentally different because it's a fictional world?
Because that's fucking retarded.
The use of 'she' reflects a value judgement on a certain subject, just like if a narrator had called someone "beautiful" or commented on the nature of someone's character or the morality of a certain action. It is not objective just because the narrator chooses to present it in a certain way.
>>46052448
What are you talking about? She is clearly hiding a massive dong in that dress.
My guess is that she's using it as a rudder to keep her flight stable.
>>46058364
>Return to Linvala paints her as an action hero in tit armor and she loses her "silence" related abilities/theme
>Return to Avacyn involves her going insane and gaining a flip ability where each side is anti-synergistic
>Return to Sigarda loses her own hexproof and becomes a non-Human tribal card for Humans
Hell, I can even remember when
>Return to Akroma gets uncounterability AND the morph keyword
Please, Wizards, I'm begging you, No more. Angel of Fury was still pretty fucking cool because she's got pro white and firebreathing and can be snuck in early, and this Sigarda still more or less resembles the old one even if it's nowhere near as good. But the roulette game is slowly killing me inside.
>>46061687
In Magic, a sliver is not a piece of something cut away from a whole that it was previously part of. Sliver has a separate definition within this setting and within this setting, perhaps gender dysphoria has a definition separate from whatever definition you have within your mind.
Nonetheless, the narrator's word is the word of god within the setting of his creation and to go against it when you are discussing his word is to render the entire conversation moot.
So just letting you know, you're wrong. Hope you're cool with that.
>>46061759
Pretty sure Akroma combined with 2 other beings to form Karona, the False God, who was then destroyed and the plane they were from was overlaid onto Dominaria and then Dominaria was fucked up in Time Spiral and we might never go back.
>>46061836
He's referring to Planar Chaos Akroma, anta baka
>>46052448
According to WotC she never did (or maybe a WotC employee on a blog or something). They were tactful about it though (saying something along the lines of the dress was only raised cause she was holding it). Wish I could find where they said that.
>>46061625
If he has a problem with us referring to him based on what we see and what's in his pants, then he can handle us the same way he handled that Orc who felt the same, ok maybe a bit more extreme, then we do. The author canonized that people wil refer to him as a him without regard to his preferred pronoun.
If I respect the person I will use the pronoun they prefer, if I don't then I won't bother trying to remember who goes by what and name it as I see it.
And besides that was the worst place to try and insert a trans character. Ravnica? Yeah sure, but tarkir, especially the mardu, where there is no distinct difference between the attire of man and woman in the first place? Where they choose their own name? How the hell would societal differences between man and woman even develop enough for their to be boy and girl names in the first place? It felt heavy handed to me and the character was just meh.
>>46061785
>perhaps gender dysphoria has a definition separate from whatever definition you have within your mind.
And perhaps in Magic all males secretly have 3 penises and 8 testicles, I mean, we haven't been told they don't so I'm going to go forward with the assumption that they do for no other reason that that it suits me.
Oh wait, that's fucking retarded.
If something hasn't been made explicit then there is quite literally ZERO reason to assume it is the case.
>the narrator's word is the word of god within the setting
Nope.
The narrator can make value judgement all he likes, doesn't make them inherently valid. The narrator is only objectively correct on matters of fact within the fictional world, this is not a matter of fact, it is a matter of semantics and opinion.
>>46058282
>have a card type that is only printed at mythic rarities
>cards that enteract with these cards are only printed at rare or mythic rare
Does anyone else find this a little fucked up for the balance of the game?
>>46061896
Who cares what WotC says? He has a fucking dick, faggot. Prove to me that Olivia isn't a gross faggy shemale.
>>46061785
You might be legitimately retarded.
>>46061751
He specifically said "boner". In the new picture, assuming she has a dick, she is clearly on the (mostly) flaccid side.
>>46061759
I can't wait for the new Thalia to put a 1/1 token onto the field when she comes into play!
>>46061785
>narrator is always right about everything
Please read Mein Kampf, bake a jew and spend the rest of your life in prison.
>>46061963
Mein Kampf is accurate within the mind of its author and those that respect his belief and discuss it with a genuine interest.
If you are planning on discussing MtG, pay appropriate respect to the established canon within the setting.
>>46062003
Established canon is that Alesha is a MtF tranny. That means establish canon is that Alesha is male. Respect that canon, faggot.
>>46061962
>>46062022
I will as soon as you acknowledge that established canon also uses female pronouns for Alesha and you use them for her as well.

Thanks for reminding us you have multiple people posting from your keyboard. Also, in case you were unaware, the character in question is fictional.
And honestly, I thought Aleha's inclusion in a more Eastern-themed plane pmade sense to me. Their norms aren't the same as Western ones, or haven't you heard of Thailand? Your claim that there were no "societal differences between man and woman" in the Mardu is not substantiated except as it applies to war and apparently leadership, and even if there weren't significant differences the idea that they wouldn't develop boy and girl names is unsupported.

>>46062022
One of you affords MtF trannies the token respect of referring to them by their chosen pronoun, and extends that to fictional characters out of habit. Which is good, because that is the polite thing to do regardless of whether you approve of it or not. The other is either so discomforted by trannies that he's sickened even by a fictional one, or he's just an asshole who refuses to extend even token courtesies towards people he doesn't like.
Either way, eternally arguing past each other on 4chan makes you both retards. Kindly shut the fuck up and discuss Wizards turning everything they "Return To" to shit.
>>46062022
We're talking setting with magic and demons where extensive mutations or swapping body parts isn't unheard of. Assuming Alesha gets access to necessary resources, becoming female is a possibility.
>>46061917
Using one pronoun over another is not a "value judgment" by any stretch of the imagination.
>>46061931
I've always thought so, yeah.
>>46062089
It is an analogy.
>>46062052
The use of pronouns has nothing to do with canon. The only canon here is 1- Alesha is male 2- Alesha thinks of herself as a woman.
The author decides that this warrants using feminine pronouns for her but that has literally fucking nothing to do with canon biological sex and therefore nothing to do with what pronoun it is correct to use when talking about her/him/that faggot.
>>46062119
>Thanks for reminding us you have multiple people posting from your keyboard.

There are loads of cards at common that interact with planeswalkers. Lighting Strike, Runeclaw Bear, Into the Roil, Oblivion Ring, etc.
There are loads of answers to walkers other than cards that specifically all them out. So, hopefully that helps balance.
>>46062134
And looking at the setting, Alesha could also be a planeswalker or an eldrazi in disguise. It hasn't been stated or even hinted at that any of these things are the case, so it's safe to assume they're not. Alesha is a male posing as a woman. Whether you want to use the male or female pronoun for her is your own choice and neither is canonically wrong, it's fucking grammar.
>>46062209
>And looking at the setting, Alesha could also be a planeswalker or an eldrazi in disguise

What the fuck? Eldrazi aren't sapient. At least, if the are, they're so fucking tentacly and squiggly that you would never know.

>>46062238
You really are the densest motherfucker on this board. Use of pronouns still has nothing to do with canon. I even use "she" for Alesha because I like my use of pronouns to reflect people's chosen gender identity (it's dumb but it's polite). I am simply calling you a retard for thinking the alternative is "ignoring canon". It is anything but. It is referring to the character using its canon biological gender, which is objectively, canonically and grammatically correct. Fuck you.

>>46062135
>Using one pronoun over another is not a "value judgment" by any stretch of the imagination.
It absolutely is.
Using 'she' implicitly carries that sentiment "Transsexualism is valid and should be respected" in the same way that "Murderhobo McFaggotson valiantly struck down the dragon" carries the sentiment "Killing the dragon was a positive act". And in both cases it doesn't matter what the narrator says the opinions of the reader are just as legitimate.
You can't even use the excuse of that the narrator is just respecting Alesha as a person and using what he'd prefer, because Alesha is a fictional entity and requires no respect.
>>46062232
>How the fuck did you come up with that? Are you trying to sound like a crazy person?
Are you?
Because "The Eldrazi are intelligent and can disguise themselves as humans" has literally just as much legitimacy your idea that Alesha could "become female" through the application of magic.
In that they are both entirely unsubstantiated and pulled out of both your respective asses.
>>46062331

That second idea wasn't mine, but in terms of Magic where motherfuckers get turned into frogs temporarily with a little shot of 1 generic 1 blue mana or trees permanently with 3 CMC, I'd say that the idea that a person can transform into another person a little more valid than something nonsensical about Eldrazi that really has no grounding whatsoever in the mechanics of the cardgame.

Alesha could also be a frog that was turned into a human, if that satisfies your autism. Or she could have been Lazav all along, who planeswalked the fuck out of Ravnica and back in time to relive his life as a tranny. None of these ideas are supported by canon so they're all fucking dumb and irrelevant to the conversation, just like the idea that Alesha had a magic sex change operation.
>>46062439

>>46062487
>autism
I'm not the one sperging the fuck out because somebody posed that it could hypothetically be a thing that people in fantasy settings could change their gender using magic. Seriously, you're acting like shit like pic related have never ever been a thing in any fantasy medium before.
I'm not saying that Alesha had such a magic operation, or ritual, or even that it's possible. Once again, I'm not the person who even brought that possibility up. But considering that Magic seems to allow for magical transformation spells, it's at least less of a stretch than your idea about the Eldrazi.
>>46062608
The eldrazi idea being a stretch was the whole fucking point. It was basically saying "This is a fantasy setting, anything could be possible, and discussing unsubstantiated but possible scenarios is dumb as fuck in a conversation about canon". How dumb are you?
>>46052410
>they actually named it rattlechains
WOTC holy fuck are you even trying anymore?
>>46062646
Yeah, and I'm saying that that stretch is stupid, because one thing is more possible than the other even though both things are possible. Damn near anything is possible, but that doesn't really have much to do with what's more PROBABLE. In this case, one scenario is much, much, much more probable than the other.
If your entire point is that "arguing about fictional things is stupid," then, well, you're the one at a loss here because you've apparently been arguing with multiple people over the course of this thread. Congratulations, you played yourself.

Do you even read the posts you respond to? To the statement "Alesha is canonically male", someone responds "But she could have had a magical sex change." To that, I respond that she could also have gone through any number of other ridiculous things completely unsubstantiated by established canon. You go "but those things are ridiculous and unlikely", therefore missing the point as hard as humanly possible.
>>46062721

>>46062796
Your point is founded on a misapprehension. The idea that any two fictional events are equally ridiculous and unlikely and therefore unworthy of consideration means that any speculation on fictional settings would be completely pointless. Hence, my remark on your point possibly being that talking about fictional things is stupid.
Judging from what we have seen of Magic in the past, it is far more likely in Magic lore that there is some way of transforming a male into a female than it is likely that the Eldrazi are sapient and capable of disguising themselves. The idea that transformation magic exists is a canonical fact of Magic canon: the idea that Eldrazi are sapient and capable of speech is not. Therefore, one idea clearly has more grounds for likelihood than the other, and your claim that both are equally unlikely is grounded on the idea that we cannot speculate anything on Magic lore purely because it is fictional. I don't accept that premise.

Presenting increasingly ridiculous and unlikely scenarios was the entire fucking point. None of this is supported by established canon and it's all therefore completely moot in a conversation about a character's established, canon gender. Fuck's sake. This anon put it best:

One may be more likely than the other but neither is rooted in anything more than dumb speculation and the idea that "It totally could happen". And if you're honestly going to say that it is literally impossible for the eldrazi to do a thing, anything, then congratulations, you know more about the eldrazi than the writers have ever put out and arguably, more than the writers have outlined themselves.
>>46063029
I think it might be more of a sideboard-y card.
The vampire deck is looking like it's gonna be really aggressive, I think this might be the kind of thing you'd bring in in matchups where you're unlikely to get the turn 4-5 kill.
>>46062934
It has a more gothic, spooky fairy-tale feel. The sort of thing that a parent would make up for their kid, three syllables and no more to limit complexity.

>This anon put it best:

>One may be more likely than the other but neither is rooted in anything more than dumb speculation
You're contradicting yourself. One is more likely than the other precisely because it is rooted in speculation regarding already existing facts of canon.
Do you believe that speculation on existing canon facts is pointless? If so, I disagree. If not, then your position ignores that one possibility can be more likely than another.
>>46062936
I think you're the only one even talking about these ideas being equally ridiculous or unlikely. No one thinks Alesha is an eldrazi, that post was saying that it's just another dumb idea that's not canon and has no relevance to the argument. Calm down and reread the posts, use reading comprehension this time.

>>46063209
>Do you believe that speculation on existing canon facts is pointless?
It is completely pointless in this scenario, yes. This is about which pronoun people can and can't use for Alesha, and the fact Alesha is canonically, biologically male. This has been established in canon. This is not an opinion. Someone saying "But she could have had a sex change operation" is the type of speculation that is completely pointless in this discussion because it has literally never even been hinted at and though it COULD be possible in this universe, there is no fucking indication whatsoever that this is the case. So the argument basically boils down to "It's possible so you can't prove it isn't the case so it's relevant to this canon discussion." I surmise that it is exactly as relevant to the discussion as saying Alesha could be from Innistrad, or could be a polymorphed saproling, or hell, could be an eldrazi in disguise. They are all things that are technically possible in this universe,THOUGH NOT EQUALLY AS LIKELY YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER, but in this conversation they're all assumptions based on literally nothing other than the fact they're technically possible.
>>46062052
In established canon they also use he to refer to Alesha so I don't see your point, because the canon you use as a shield for your argument clearly shows that opinions can exist, sure you risk getting your head lopped of by the offended party so you better be ready to lop their head off if they so much as flinch
>A human boy who thinks he's a woman?"
right from the canon, see that he you were so dead set on saying wasn't used to refer to alesha?

I'm going to start calling Garruk a she and it's valid because you can't prove she wasn't magically transformed into a big burly man. Plus, it's totally the kind of thing Liliana would do.If you call Garruk "he" then you're not respecting canon.
