I think a lot of your design ideas are definitely more fitting to the plane, and I agree with your call on the ward cost. The life payment makes a lot more sense and people are much more likely to pay it and not hate the commander. My main goal had been to emulate the 31 rhinos deck from khans BFZ standard, which was why I included blue. I’ll see about another pass at the concept after I stare at all the cards that were in the list back in the day and khans block cards.
That art looks super AI generated.
Well the big thing with emulating manifest is...you now have 99 Rhinos technically.
I don't remember that part of the user manual. You just call to your lands and pour mana into it
She's not androgynous here. Just more formless. They did to her what that previous multiplayer Marvel game did to heroes design.
They literally just traced Akira
As former Chandra stan who has a gorgeous Steve Argyle playmat of her...
Ignoring the fact that apparently Chandra has gone flat chested Bull Dyke.
I didn't say communism caused it, I said it was "communized." Even if not a conscious or primary driving force, worldviews have impact.
Looking at the angle of chandra, the mess of the art style and whatever moron went with the contrasting two-colour theme, I think they didn't give her tits because they couldn't.
Nah it wasnt even cause of commander, it was because the gatewatch arcs failed to get people into the lore.
That's... not really a counterpoint. Both can be true or even establish a feedback loop with each other.
I would generally say that if they wanted Planewalkers to still be the Focus..and To focus on Commander they would have pressured Sheldon to make Planeswalkers Legal as commanders (and most certainly would have after taking over the RC), I would say you have a decent chance of being correct if WOTC didn't hop from failure to failure.
Which they then fucking refused to do anything with advertising and retention wise and proceeded to troll the pay pigs they kept despite with shit like "historic wild cards cost twice as much"-gate and alchemy and also fucked the pooch by not building it for commander. WotC is world class at pulling defeat from the jaws of easy money.
Yep which they abandoned after one set.
Yeah. So like they were trying and screwed it up in true wizards fashion.
Arena could have been an absolute money machine if they had simply given out free digital packs on the advertisement cards inside normal card packs, even if it was like a 5% chance of a code showing up.
I just want to take a moment to complain about how Wizards will still put ONLY ad cards into packs.
It's obvious that one of the boomers in charge of Arena or the boomers they report to doesn't really understand the real cost of free promotional product in a digital card game ($0.00) and insists that everyone value free packs at whatever value they would have if you bought them at full price USD. Nothing else makes sense. Literally any Chinese male under the age of 35 would be better at their job; on-boarding retards into digital gambling addiction
