EstravenEternal posted a message on Masters 25 boxes not properly randomized?I don't think that making it personal helps the discussion in any way.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
This is not about a gay agenda or whatsoever, its the natural paradigm shift that's occurring in all the gaming industry. No one wants to be the game that wasn't open to women or lgbtq people, or that overlooked harassment cases. To affirm that the game design is crumbling because of this small changes towards equal representation, is mean, biased and not true. Wizards has a great diversity of people working, from conservatives to left liberals (Aron Forsynthe and Ethan Fleischer are an example of this opposites)so to claim the company is pandering because its comprised of ideological biased people is also unfair. This decisions promotes the well-being of a very large part of the mtg community. LGTBTQ people are very commons in magic, my lgs has like 20% of gay players. My commander play group is composed of 50% gay players. This changes make inclusion easier while they don't affect in any way the rest of the player base, on the contrary it reflects the real life reality. To say this is ideology is unfair, is just equal treatment. But to say the reason design is bad nowadays (which in my opinion isn't true for all the latest sets)is because of this small changes is petty.
Like many of his previous claims he has no evidence to support it, more than an anecdotal video. Likewise his claims that the mtg lost 8 million players, that sales are going down, that the company is going to be sold, etc, lack any trust worthy source. In the end we are just spreading false rumors that only benefit this content producer at the cost of the success of the consumer confidence.

But all of them have one thing in common.
You can not take everything they say for real.
Obviously. Everyone who watches Rudy’s channel knows you can’t take him seriously. He’s even a self-proclaimed scum bag, but he is entertaining.
Now, it’s pretty obvious too, that the real peeve EstravenEternal has towards Rudy has nothing to do with this box openings, but instead he/she/they/(insert other here) hates that Rudy did not push his/her/their/(insert other here) agenda in his videos, but instead expressed a sentiment many mtg players have, which is, to have Wizards focused on the game instead of ideology.
And you know what, Rudy and everybody else who shares that view are entitled to feel this way and express themselves. And doing that is not spreading hate towards LGBTQRWHTYD or whatever.
EstravenEternal seems to be the type of person that if you disagree with him/her/them/(insert other here) or think differently, than you automatically hate him/her/them/(insert other here). And that is the typical hypocritical stance coming from those pushing inclusion and demanding open-mindedness and acceptance of people with different ideas.
Also, presenting as fact, without showing any evidence, that a “ gender neutral product does not affect any binary person” is dishonest, and you know what, if designers are focused on pushing ideology instead of actually game design, then that really hurts the game, because, you know, the purpose of a game is to be a game, not a vehicle to push agendas.
Having said all that, I don’t hate EstravenEternal or anyone, and no one should be harassed because of gender, but just because you feel harassed that doesn’t always mean you are being harassed.
Warned for trolling.
Yes, Rudy is toxic because of his diatribes against his perceived "SJW" leanings within Wizards. The game is not suffering because of Wizards attempting to be as inclusive as possible. This is a part of Wizards' attempt to expand the game to as many individuals as possible. And I would be shocked if those within the organization responsible for making those strategic decisions are the same as those making decisions about gameplay and "power level" in Standard sets.
In other words, the state of Magic and Standard in particular has nothing to do with Wizards' inclusiveness attempts. Rudy's diatribes are instead a reflection of his own bigotry that he's attempting to pass off as a legitimate complaint with Magic's gameplay. -

I thought of it as a good idea : /Quote from foam_dome »Why you gotta take all the suspense and excitement out of the card effects in the thread titles? First the subgame card, and now this.
Shrug, maybe it's just me, but I feel like it kinda kills any anticipation when clicking on the thread to see what the card does. Kinda like someone telling you what's inside a present as they're handing it to you.
(Yes I'm complaining about spoilers being spoiled, disregard me) -

Probably not a legal thing and more of a "Don't cross the streams" thing

If I had to guess, they heard us "loud and clear" and then the box sales numbers were probably bother louder and clearer
