it's cute the white card stays within the color pie by being terrible
Magic: The Gathering@wizards_magic
That doesn't mean we can't have a little "Planar Chaos-esque What If's?" though! Mark Rosewater talks about Enlightened Confidant and how despite being a clear nod to Dark Confidant, it stays within its piece of the color pie.

@RealDavidDears @SaffronOlive F that. Print every single fetch and shock into the ground don't make people who wanna play standard and modern pay 200€ for their manabase.
English
@SaffronOlive I'm just tired boss. I think the excitement for shocks is gone. Too many prints. I wish RL wasn't a thing.
English
@A_AdeptoTerra @IslandsInFront Absolutely not, painlands would make manabases way too good in a format that is based around taplands.
English
@IslandsInFront Painlands aswell

These cycling duals should be downshifted to common

@reigns_era So we have: Roxanne, Roxanne's dad, Roxanne's mom, Roxanne's cool aunt and Roxanne's weird uncle. Way better than the bloodline IMO

@Mr_spacely777 @Nature_Element_ @DenaKhalafallah Here is a quick way to check if someone is Italian.
Were they born in Italy -> they are Italian.
Do they have an Italian passport -> they are Italian.
If not they are NOT Italian.
English
@Nature_Element_ @DenaKhalafallah Idgaf about Italy/Italian-americans I was just explaining to you that ppl have a right to connect and identify with their family history...especially if said family lived in said location for thousands of yrs. Europeans use any chance to be xenophobic and snobby about blood.
English
okay so maybe italian americans do deserve the slander

MASSIVE PROTEST IN ROME TODAY Protestors in Rome carried a massive symbolic shroud, inscribed with the names of more than 21,000 Palestinian children killed by Israel.

@NaughtyKestrel @Review_bra Yeah necrovalley had to be errataed a few times, but now it seems pretty clear to me

@Abard93 @Review_bra “Unlike YGO”
My brother in Christ, Necrovalley.

Every single yugioh card needs 3 paragraphs of restrictions and reminders of retroactively added rules or it goes infinite turn 1 and the game implodes.
Worst designed game in history

now that the mana drama slop has died down i can post this
English
@PopcornBunni @Review_bra As hard to track as day/night was at least the cards told when to switch
English
@PopcornBunni @Review_bra The point of my tweet was to show a Magic card that is hard to understand by itself because it cuts on remainder text not to find a hard cardto understand.
YGO cards have lots of text because they tell you exactly what they dowithout the need for external tokens.
English
@Review_bra @Jackeea_ And if you read a YGO card it tells you exactly what it does.
So what was the point of your tweet?
English
@Abard93 @Review_bra @carbeeDM So what you’re saying is you have to have previous knowledge of the card to play it 🤔 curious…
English
@NaughtyKestrel @Review_bra @carbeeDM I know what initiative does, i was just showing OP how reading the card not always explains the card, unlike YGO.
English
@Abard93 @Review_bra @carbeeDM Trample is common enough that people understand it.
Taking the Initiative comes with physical reminder cards (like tokens) that tell you everything you need to know.
English
@JonnyRamRVA @Review_bra @carbeeDM I feel like you are either playing dumb or trolling me.
Of course the textless version is not readable, but if you read the normal version it is pretty clear.
English
@NeonTheMeow @Review_bra @carbeeDM Yeah, i love magic and i love lands the same way as i love long combos in YGO. I don't understand how there are so many people defending this card.
English
@Abard93 @Review_bra @carbeeDM I swear the people defending take the initiative are only doing it because it's being compared to yugioh. It's a dumbshit badly explained mechanic and most mtg players I know talk shit about it the same way they do banding.
English
@JonnyRamRVA @Review_bra @carbeeDM Oh yes, let me go and get a card from one of the first sets when WotC didn't have an estabilished format for writing cards, next are you going to sbow me Animate Dead?
After the nineties the cards are really easy to understand thanks also to the inclusion of reminder text
English
@Abard93 @Review_bra @carbeeDM “You could actually read a Magic card and know what it did” OH BUDDY LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN
English
@PopcornBunni @JonnyRamRVA @Review_bra @carbeeDM Of course, it does make sense if you read the initiative and undercity tokens. YGO cards also make sense if you take the time to read them.
What doesn't make sense is that reading Avenging Hunter doesn't explain Initiative
English
@Abard93 @JonnyRamRVA @Review_bra @carbeeDM The initiative is an game piece that has the rules for it when it is introduced into the game. It's bad design, but that's a different point from it not making sense.
English
@JonnyRamRVA @Review_bra @carbeeDM Well old man, i've been playing since eight edition and i can tell you that those cards all had reminder text on them and you could actually read a magic card and know what it did
English
@JonnyRamRVA @Review_bra @carbeeDM Because you play pauper and you had to go and look what the card does or you wouldn't have known by reading it.
What i'm saying is that modern magic cards should have the remainder text instead of writing only the keyword.
English
@Majyqman42 @Review_bra @carbeeDM My guy the database is used only in edge cases for reference. Nobody ever goes there to know how something works. The same way i don't have to go to scryfall everytime i cast a card.
Please stop talking about YGO.
English
@Majyqman42 @Review_bra @carbeeDM You gotta give me an example of this card vs. Card specific ruling because i'm not remembering any
English
@Majyqman42 @Review_bra @carbeeDM Yeah pendulums are hard to read, anyone who plays YGO will tell you the same. But at least i don't need another card to tell me what the undercity dungeon is. I just want my cards to tell me what they do on the card
