Nov 30, 2017Tiro of Meletis posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the ProblemActually, this article is the entire problem. Neo-Nazis? Really? Way to buy into propaganda. And the Trump reference about "locker room talk" - way to push your political agendas on a card game forum and assume your opinions are the status quo, and the only right way to think. That's why everyone is sick of liberals and SJWs. Arrogance and ignorance. No one gives a damn bro, we're here for card games. Get over yourselves and off your righteous soapbox.Posted in: Articles

Evil witch art is absolutely phenomenal - I love the mirrored hood exposing her true appearance and age. Excellent touch.
I'm feeling a vibe that WOE may be Eldraine done right, as the Storybook/Camelot world we originally wanted
The artwork on the packaging for WOE is phenomenal, as usual. I really hope those will appear on the cards, but they never do sadly, which makes no sense
Read that character as Antikythera. Amazing art but... is there even an Erebos anymore

And the fact that the quality of the lore is so abysmal that we know even less about other planes, does even more to reinforce my point than any of you seem to realize.
One moment he can dispatch a legion of angels with just a glance, the next, lol dis knife
Who is to say OSM didn't see missed calls from an unknown or spam risk number and ignore them, over the span of 15 minutes? This all occurred within barely a week. We have the whole set now, all 50 cards of it, and people are still bemoaning that it revealed nothing, lore-wise.
This is what happens when WOTC has no value for their settings. They're conservative with their Planeswalker characters but careless with the settings, constantly plunging them into apocalypse scenarios for lack of storytelling talent. It always feels cheap. Some of the best lore were simply moments exploring a plane's thematic features or characters bonding, such as Jace and Vraska on Ixalan. I enjoyed Ixalan being an adventure quest, taking a survey of the plane through various factions on a mission.
Lorwyn on the other hand... is among my top 5 planes. The gorgeous, idyllic artwork of the original is just stunning. I absolutely adore Lorwyn. And I resent that natural regions of Kamigawa, such as Minamo and its beautiful panoramic river waterfall were never featured in Neon Dynasty.
Eldraine had potential but it ended up being a bunch of non-legendary cards of clearly distinct legendary creatures from unique fairytales and the excuse was what... standard and draft? A strong pass for me. It did not evoke anything that I hoped for and I kept wishing it was Lorwyn.
Frankly, with just the changes to Theros implied or suggested by Aftermath, I've lost interest in seeing it or returning there.
Absolutely.
So is Kiora a queen among merfolk on Zendikar now?
I'm very pleased that there's a regular art for Calix in the set, which looks great!
It's just not a good look.
You know what would have been a favorable approach? Realizing the guy is clearly a fan of the game, that there was a mistake, and cultivating something positive by offering him an alternative opportunity (like spoiling future cards on his channel, growing his viewership through an approved and amicable manner, for example) and alternative product, in exchange for what he purchased early. Thus preserving the integrity of their consumer base while diffusing a regrettable, but not illegal, situation. Brute force and resentment was selected instead, and the fields were salted behind them. After M30, people are rightfully disgusted.
