Exactly. As long as people are going to buy huge quantities of basic land secret lairs, Wizards is going to keep making them. It doesn’t matter how much people whine on forums; the only voice Wizards cares to hear is the one that comes from people’s wallets.
If releasing a secret lair with only 1 of each basic land would encourage more people to buy many multiples of them, then why would they release a secret lair with 5 or 6 of each and risk cutting into their profits?
Customer Satisfaction is a diminishing currency.
Bad business practice might not immediately translate into people not buying your product, but it will eat away on them, till it becomes relevant.
Keeping customers happy on the long term guarantees a steady stream of income, it might even encourage them to buy more, as they are indeed happy to do so.
If you continue to slap your customers in the face, they might turn away sooner or later.
Its basically what happens to all products WotC releases, its great at first, then they creep into practices that make the product more and more filthy and garbage, so they need to re-brand their product (aka Master sets, FTV, etc.). -

WarMachinePrime posted a message on Secret Lair: Superdrop SmittenIf someone would have wanted to give the Valentine drop to their own Valentine on Valentine's Day, WotC should have offered that drop months ago so you could have purchased it for your sweetheart and give it to them on time, not in May. Another logistics fail.Posted in: The Rumor Mill

bobthefunny posted a message on Secret Lair: Black is MagicThis is so far off the rails from discussing Magic at this point; I'm shutting this down.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
It's Black History Month, people... Making a product themed to that is not pandering, nor political. It's literally the theme of the month, and a Nationally recognized cultural event.
I am going to take this moment to reiterate that MTGS stands behind inclusion initiatives, and increased diversity in Magic, these forums, and in life in general. Statements made against inclusion or diversity hold no place here.
I am also going to reiterate that MTGS is not a place to argue about politics or social issues. Period.

LilianaxChandra posted a message on Secret Lair: Black is MagicPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from SpeedGrapher »Listen, we've had this conversation already about other products Wizards has released. Everyone on this website is an extreme liberal. Two generations are brainwashed extreme liberals. If you argue against extreme liberalism you will be shouted down. You will be hunted to the point of losing your job or worse. There are all kinds of news stories like that and it's disgusting.
You have to understand the rational arguments are over. Just enjoy the societal collapse. Arguing against the ideology behind this product is a massive waste of time.
In the context of a product available for purchase that you disagree with there is only one solution of not buying the product.
Solution: Don't buy the product.
Please tell me this post is satire. Please. -

SilvosRogueElemental posted a message on Secret Lair: Black is MagicPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from JuiceBOX »Kaya is my favorite MTG character atm, and I am loving that Teferi is back. it is really nice having people of color represented in MTG.
I just wish there was not the showboating to go with all of it, and that things like this could be done in silence and everyone who makes the game and plays the game not bat an eye about it.
Man what a world that would be.
It’s Black History Month. Calling this showboating seems exceptionally tone deaf. -

Obazervazi posted a message on Secret Lair: Black is MagicPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from Werewolf_Rawr »So much woke in Magic: the Gathering where escapism should be at it's peak. Glad to see so many woke people on this forum too. Glad y'all have a place to remind everyone how with it you are. Product is 100% pandering. Could've released this at any time - but it wasn't, it was done now. And that's why it's off. It has nothing to do with the product itself and some of you can't see that. That being said, this is nothing to be surprised about from WOTC.
Magic is absolutely a place for escapism. What your not realizing is that seeing yourself in the characters is a big part of escapism. Black Magic players deserve escapism just as much as you do. Sure, people can see themselves in characters with different skin color from their own, but that just makes your complaint all the more absurd.
In case you guys haven't noticed, Magic is all about pandering. They literally just released a set pandering to Norse mythology fans, then they're going to pander to Harry Potter fans, then D&D fans, then horror fans. How about when they pander to someone who isn't you, you can just, like, not throw a fit? -

Cranky posted a message on Secret Lair: Black is MagicYikes, I knew MTGS had a super toxic community, but I thought at least it was beyond outright racism. Ffs guys, if a traditionally oppressed group getting a little light pandering during a month dedicated to them really gets your panties in a twist please look inside yourself and think about why you feel that way.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
This product is great so far. Excellent art, solid (if not particularly highly desirable) card picks, and a good cause. They'd have to include a bunch of serious duds from here on to scuttle the box. -

At this point it's kinda bread and butter to the MO of some of these regular naysayers.
All we can do is speak out, block, and/or report.
There's a persistent pattern here of particular users always going out of their way to problematize greater inclusivity for marginalized folks and folx.
Are there any good online MtG communities that don't put up with this kinda stuff that one can join?
The Vorthos community on this here website is still pretty small, and I'd be willing to join other sites and help build a Vorthos/Timmie community there if its user base is a little more progressive than MtGsalv.
This used to be a community that was well moderated and didn't allow stuff like this, much less allow the same people to say the same bigoted stuff over and over with little to no consequences, but that just isn't the case anymore. If anyone can recommend a community withh plenty of discussion that will actually put their foot down when it comes to bigots peddling hate speech left and right, please let me know because I'd like to join. -

T1 forest, green suns get dryad arbor
T2 ancient tomb, natural order
T3 clone it, clone it again
The problem is if its early you **** over everyone elses land drops and youre up 3 lands for it. Making it easier to clone and reanimate which keeps them further down. Even late game it turned into clonefights
In a casual group op agent doesnt do much, screws with some ramp generally, maybe a clutch tutor, but doesnt really break anything
Hullbreacher is similar. Sucks when someone responds to their own wheel, but thats not common casually. Of the two i think its the more problematic, but when abused it basically just ends the game instead of dragging it out and having everyone fight over it so... meh

The survey is just a means to get people talking and to drive hype.

Because green needed access to an abundance of that. The color with the go wide strategy, the go tall strategy, trample, and questing beast...

Oh no! An artist stole another artists work and the company he was working for cut ties with him! What horrible reaction from them they should be doing so much more! Thats it everyone quit!
The **** did you want to see happen here?
There is no feasible way to analyze every artists work against the breadth of fan art on the internet without also employing an army of people. An established artist ****ed up. Appropriate actions were taken when the issue was brought to light. What more do you expect?
This issue is much different from any of the others last year involving art and artists.
Be realistic.

Green already has an over abundance of efficient ramp. It didnt need inefficient ways to ramp other people too.

Over this issue?
No.
Over other issues?
Yes.
Youre really making this into something it isnt. Theres a reason theres no major push for that over this.

K, like thats just your opinion man.
While its his fault, vetting and pushing out product have nothing to do with anything here.
At 139 cards deep why would you continue to vet him? You dont like modern card art, or his style, or that card, whatever we get it.
There are plenty of well done, iconic, cards in his repertoire.
He was lazy and got caught, appropriate actions were taken. There isnt some great plot here.
There is no way, or enough time, to research every piece submit versus the entire internet.
