To me the @GRENKEChess showed that Freestyle with the classical time control, leads to incredibly interesting chess. I understand most disagree, but look at the games even so. They are titanic struggles, mixing strategic complexity, with unusual tactics. Chess at its finest!

@DavidMetzgerCH @PHChess @GRENKEChess As a chess noob (averaging 2000 rating on lichess), I gotta disagree. I know so little opening theory and it bores me (so I won't ever get higher rating) but freestyle is so much more fun to watch from move 1.

@PHChess @GRENKEChess It's incredibly boring, that is all this is. You don't understand this because you are a Chess Grandmaster. There are roughly 2'100 of you globally. Good luck commercializing this variation

Keymer-Sarana was a masterpiece by Keymer. Spoiled in the end by allowing a draw, but a very impressive game. Shows how deep and fascinating Freestyle chess can be when played with the classical time control. @KeymerVincent @GRENKEChess

@H0H0v You are supposed to make the cut-out on the side where the tree should fall. Clearly made by a mathematician who never cut down a single tree...

if the tree, when it falls, forms a right triangle with the ground, will the boy be safe?

@swannoise Well you haven't played me so this is of course in my Zirilan of the Claw edh deck... And any player with a little bit of selfrespect should put this in their edh dragons deck (but of course, 99 percent will rather tryhard with some new powercrept creature instead).

Story time. I quit Magic few times, it was ALWAYS because after some time I just remembered that lands is a terrible system. The last time I quit it, I went to GP Manchester (or Paris, I can’t remember). But after playing the entire event I realised that 33% of my games at that event were decided by either me or my opponent not having enough or having too many lands. I realised I can’t be bothered to play a game where 1/3 of the game just doesn’t matter. That was my last time with competitive Magic. Edit: For comparison, in my years of playing FaB and SWU I remember like 2-3 games overall when bad draws were fully deciding a game.

Every TCG is going to have non-games. Non-games are the result of variance which is something TCG's need. Some people feel like Magic's non-games are worse because the variance comes from the mana system, so a MTG non-game is "you don't play you cards." In reality this is no more of a non-game than some Hearthstone card doing something random to kill you out of nowhere, but Magic takes more heat for it because it feels worse. It's basically the same concept as how in Commander you can Doom Blade your opponent's commander and it's fine, but if you counter it they get salty. The result is the same, but the Doom Blade gives you the illusion that you were actually making progress and doing something. It tricks you into thinking your decisions mattered, but really they didn't. Non-games in other TCG's do a better job of giving you this illusion, to tricking you into thinking that they aren't really non-games because you are taking game actions and doing things. But really they are the same as getting mana screwed.

Some months ago I bought a premodern lot full of random cards to build decks with my friends. Today I checked what’s inside again, as I mostly used blue cards, and look who’s there!

@LordStryker @ZBexx Nah, just look at her face, that's anime. Perhaps the rest. Anyways, this shouldn't be brought up at all since OP asked for two other arts. And the best is of course the original in any case.

@herrNitter @ZBexx Its less anime, more Japanese traditional art work that fits the MTG with the effects in the art.

@LordStryker @ZBexx Wayyy too busy art. Do people really like this or are they just unable to judge it just because it's anime?

What. This isn't real. 😂 Tell you what, if CK ever buylists this card for $25+ I will eat one of my copies on camera. What are the MTG finance bros on?

@AteoGaming @MarkyMarkout @DrivetheTacos @SteelCitySteph Lol. Artificially increase the price of cardboard? So what's Wizards/Hasbro doing with every fkin collector box? Selling booster packs for 30 $ each. Everything is about money. Also for collectors. Just accept it and stop your own misery. Personally I enjoy my cards holding value

We wouldn't be quite as hot and bothered about reserved list cards getting stapled to Strixhaven cards if we... *voice quiets to a whisper* ... abolished the reserved list.

@VitoComedy @SaffronOlive And also, this is why I mainly buy reserved list cards for collecting, everything not there getting reprinted once it gets the slightest of value...

@SaffronOlive I kind of hate when they put a card like Land Tax or City of Brass in a Commander Deck. Takes away from the special feeling of ripping one out of a pack.

Seems like a pretty solid land cycle for Commander. Basically slowlands, but with the basic land types.

Picked up a bulk lot of basics with my playset of Mages and I'm very happy with how it turned out.
