I was pumped for a LotR set. I don't play Commander but was going to collect some for my long time love of LotR and Tolkien, what actually got me into fantasy and gaming. I will not purchase any of this product either sealed or singles. I hope others of like minds will vote with their wallets as well.
If you're that easy to annoy, there's no way you would ever have liked the set. They haven't even shown anything yet.
Honestly, LoTR fans are some serious haters. They love Tolkien so much that they hate everything based on it, and quote chapter and verse on why everything is wrong. I'm not into crossovers period, but I will remind the die-hard fans who hate their own fandom: it's more fun to like stuff than to hate it.
lotr is the grandfather of fantasty and tolken is the person that first gave elves point ears
My gripe is more with that they’re using halflings instead of hobbits lol I know even in lotr they used them interchangeably but I think halflings are mor a dnd thing. I guess if you want to make a halfling tribal deck you have more options lol.[/quote] i further gripe they arent kithkin, but i want kithkin and halflings to be the same tribe
So Aragorn being black seems to be a condition put in the general design sheet for the whole set, judging from the previous artwork we saw. Call me whatever you like, I don't like it. One thing is an artist's interpretation of a description, this seems like an intentional contradiction of the description. Don't be surprised if many fans don't like it. And yes, his skin color is not described in detail, but we all know how Tolkien intended Númenoreans to look.
I won't comment on it, because frankly, I have nothing polite to say. Except that I wonder how this face is "pale"...
Although the series offers very few details on Aragorn's physical appearance, we know he is tall and lean with "a shaggy head of dark hair flecked with grey, and in a pale stern face a pair of keen grey eyes."
i had to turn off facebook comments on a post due to racism
Why Halfling though? Isn't there like a legal distinction between Hobbit and Halfling. Like obviously it wouldn't lead to legal action here, but I'd assume they want to keep their franchises consistent. And this being a a Beyond Universes set they could easily make Halfling and Hobbit synonymous through the rules, like they did with Tyranids and the as of yet unrevealed Universes Within equivalent creature type.
i wish they were kithkin to be able to use kithkin support
Hey alright. Another one drop Gobbo for my Standard Gobbo deck. Doesn't make my list a world beater but with these Gobbos being added and the new 3 goblin token spell for R I can pick up the speed on my deck for sure.
standard they still wont be usable but in alchemy they will we currently have 9 goblins usable in current standard vs 23 usable goblins in current alchemy format
one of the theory is these walkers could be sleeper agents among phyrexian walkers as in they are completed but not on norn's side
That would require Urabrask, the one praetor who doesn't want people forcibly compleated. He wants you to agree to compleation. Thing is, none of those planeswalkers are red...
and ajani who was compleated by a black praetor isnt black
It could be that Jace isn’t really completed but is using his telepathy to make them believe they had completed him. But I don’t know enough about phyrexians to know if their brains can be altered.
it is more they alter their memory. it was explained that Tamiyo believes her family is phyrexia
