    Re: Magic Origins

    I haven't even owned a video game system in a decade and a half, and I'm utterly burned out on video game art. Thanks, modern Magic. Bang-up job.

    All this art reminds me of late 90's PC adventure games

    All this art reminds me why I'm so much missing the old times.

    Also, will they never stop with the Jacelilianachandraterezzetesperthgarruck bullcrap? It's more annoying than music in Tesco and quite similarly there's nowhere to run from it.
    So dear WotC, would you just fuck off with Jace and co.? Got it?
    Because I'm really, really, really tired of this whole Magic: the 90210.

    Walkers are popular, so no.

    Although there's at least some Jace fatigue (which even Maro admitted) - doesn't suprise me afte they shit out crappy versions after JMS.

    Re: Magic Origins

    Unfortunately popular does not equal good, and some of them are definitely over used

    There are 57 different planeswalker cards which include :
    6 Garruk's
    5 Jace's
    5 Ajani's
    4 Chandra's
    3 Liliana
    3 Elspeth's
    3 Sarkhan
    3 Sorin
    2 Gideon's
    2 Nissa
    2 Tezzeret

    Garruk Jace and Ajani have all been used to much, I would rather see then develop some of the less used (1-2 version walkers) over another Jace or Garruk.

    Re: Magic Origins

    Neither Garruk nor Ajani are part of the next core set as far as we know; and they mentioned the intention to "replace" Jace with Tamiyo in the future as blues iconic pw.
    At the end of the day it doesn't matter that much what name/artwork the new planeswalker has if it's unplayable regardless though.

    Everyone and their mom is a planeswalker now. Might as well have grandma Betty from down the street be the next planeswalker for the core set.

    They'd have to give Betty suspend because it takes all day to get to the battlefield from down the street with that bad hip.

    You grossly underestimate the popularity of ALL Planeswalkers with the casual/kitchen table/edh/whateverthehelltheyplaynow crowd. Most of the stores around town have pretty much every walker they have on display in a case, and they move a LOT of the 'bad' ones (I was just talking about this with one of the owners right after new years - they are putting together a 3rd case just for 'Casual' cards, because they move often enough.)

    Granted, at the current print runs, they aren't worth very much, and if they're not playable in constructed formats, they won't be for a long time. But they will still sell sealed product.
    Check out my Legacy UBTezz Primer. Chalice of the Void: Keeping Magic Fair.

    Most of the 'Ban brainstorm!' arguments are based on the logic that 'more different cards should get played in Legacy', as though the success or health of the format can be measured by the portion of cards that are available and see play. This is an idiotic metric.

    They mentioned that a while a go, yet here we are, with yet another Jace and still no other Tamiyo.

    PAX spoilers are out, the planeswalker are legendary flip creatures that have a trigger condition to get flickered and return as PW. They also showed Liliana, which seemed quite playable, although she has to compete with her Veil version.

    Given that she's exactly the same cost as our current Queen, I can't see her having much application. I think I'd like her much more if she triggered off any creature dying.

    That being said, 'walkers as creatures does present very interesting possibilities. Though there's a good chance they'll all be lackluster (crosses fingers for playable red 'walker) and not even worth GSZing.

    You would think that they could really push the power seeing as you have to do something to get to that power.

    Is there some flavor reason why they get exiled and return to the battlefield instead of just flipped? I haven't paid any attention to the story elements since back when the players were supposed to be Planeswalkers...
