Thoughts?

>>50599804
The Hell is Atlazan?
>>
>>50599849
Seems like the next plane after Amonkhet. The name and background art makes me think Mesoamerica. Seems like they'll do the whole conquistadors showing up thing, which will probably result in a political shitstorm regardless of how they play it.

Nice to see Vraska again at least.
>>
>>50599849
Aztec inspired plane I'm guessing. Look at the background of the packs and you can kind of see an Aztec/Mayan calendar, it seems not!Aztecs are gonna get conquered by not!Spaniards again.
>>
>>50599891
Ten bucks white people are the villains of "Atlazan"
>>
>>50599928
Well, the Spaniards were a) white and b) objectively horrible people.

Mind, the Aztecs were also objectively horrible people.

There was a lot of horribleness happening in Mexico in the 1500s, is my point.
>>
Atlantis-Mexico?

what an odd fucking choice
>>
>>50599928

The conquistadores weren't exactly great people, so that'd be pretty historically accurate.

Not to say the Aztecs weren't so horrible their neighbors were glad to be rid of them, but it's not distorting history to show conquistadors being fucking dicks to everyone they come across.
>>
>>50599891
> result in a political shitstorm regardless of how they play it.
Hyped as fuck

>>50599928
Obviously, and 4chan is going to get five kinds of buttblasted about it. Hopefully they're all tuckered out after all the POOLOO and KANGZ from the previous two sets though. I'm just tired of the fucking memeing and shitflingling.
>>
>>50599955
I know that both were horrible assholes and seriously, at the time and space I can't say who is in the right or the wrong because it happened in the 1500's. My point, is that this"Atlazan" plane is going to show that the not!Aztecs were a bunch of friendly nature loving people, while the not!Spaniards are a bunch of assholes who bring industry and other stupid crap. Basically, instead of making it as not!Aztecs and not!Spaniards going at it, it's going to be about how wonderful the not!Aztecs are and how horrible the not!Spaniards are, and the not!Aztecs will win because "friendship".
>>
>>50600017
Actually, given the name of the set it seems like they might show a relative amount of grey. Conquest of Power seems to imply that it's just big empires fighting it out, with the little people caught in between.

Nope. The not!Aztecs are the non-aggressors, thus they must be better ethically then the aggressors, the not!Spaniards.

>>50600186
The thing is that I've heard nothing about it, and a Google search of "Atlazan" turns up nothing relevant,

https://www.google.com/#q=Atlazan&nirf=Aztlan

And those boosters look photoshopped as fuck.

So you'll forgive me for being circumspect concerning whether or not this is the next set after Amonkhet.
>>
>>50599983
The Aztecs believed themselves to originate from a place they called Aztlán.

The real question is does the art on the boosters come from anywhere else. Typically if it's a fake you can find the art on somebody's DA or tumblr or something.

Amonkhet: Bolas creates trials for people who mostly just die, those that ascend to planeswalkers are met by him who convinces them that they are gods and makes them naive to the true nature of the multiverse. They revere him as their own god and he makes them hunt down the Gatewatch.
Hour of Devastation is Bolas's return to Amonkhet, wherin he plans to use the multiplanar device brought by Tezzeret to invade other planes with his gods/armies.

It is mud/debris.
Mesoamericans had some onion-shit going on with their buildings, they made buildings over buildings with little gardens and everything. 1.- is the inner sanctum temple for religious events, 2,3 and 4 are mausoleums, 6 is the outer walls with the temple on top being for government events since priests were pope and president only second to the emperor.
5 represents debris because the pyramids were either blasted or buried. there's been a lot of artificial mountains in mexico that sprout pyramids when they try to remove them for infrastructure.

Not human enough. Not generic enough.

We didn't know the name of the set after Amonkhet. The packaging also gives us images that we can speculate on for plot, possible creature types, and Planeswalkers. We would all love card spoilers, of course, but this isn't nothing.

All they said is that the packaging is not final.

As far as I know, at this point in time "Khanar" became "Tarkir". They will probably still have to get the name approved and also maybe still have more art for the next block to roll in.

>plot, possible creature types, and Planeswalkers
See, I treat that as nothing. A part of me also doesn't treat it as nothing. See, I think Wizards wastes our time coming up with new creature types like Aetherborn and Dwarfs. I don't know why the Aetherborn aren't vampires or zombies who are named Aetherborn and why Dwarfs aren't Kithkin.

I'm not a casual player but there's more casual deckbuilding potential if they just stopped designing new creature types. Nacatl and Leonin are just cats, that's perfect. It was smart of them to kill Cephalids as a creature type that competed with Merfolk (I would have been fine if they killed Merfolk instead). And now they're just going backwards. They're just adding new creature types. Eldrazi are fine - those are unique enough.
>>
>>50602875
Because vampires or zombies would've been too dark for Kaladesh.

Dwarves are in Kaladesh because people had been asking for more dwarves for years. Kithkin aren't as popular as dwarves.

You could use the exact same art they used in Kaladesh and given them the creature type Kithkin and you would make all five Kithkin enthusiasts happy that they have fresh synergies for their pet tribal deck.

>>50602916
So tell me what pre-existing creature type we could shoehorn Eldrazi into? Horror? I would have been fine with that. Horror-tribal-the-set.

They obviously fucked up and are trying to brush it under the carpet. If they were really at that stage, they would have said "at this point no names are final". The fact they didn't proves it is. If it was just a mockup, they'd have said that too. Again, they didn't, which proves it isn't. Hence their wording, dismissive but without denying what must be the truth.

Wrong, there are 4 dwarves and they're all in Eventide. Reintroducing new creature types is good, especially broad ones like dwarves and orcs. Kithkin should have never had their own creature type, and Eldrazi should have been horrors.

That said, I agree with aetherborn being a stupid inclusion. They should have been non-artifact constructs.

Actually, Eldrazi having their own creature type is fine. It's for very limited tribal, like Slivers or Myr. Aetherborn, who have no tribal interactions, didn't need a creature type at all.

>>50603167
I just think there is a certain amount of measuring that needs to be done about the inclusion of new creature types at this point. If something is going to be potentially plane or storyline exclusive, like Myr, Kithkin, and Eldrazi, they should only get a unique creature type if a mechanic is going to play on that. Otherwise, some pre-existing creature type should be co-opted to fit them. They already have the standard fantasy bases covered, and now with the re-inclusion of orcs and dwarfs they have even more room to avoid creating type-bloat. This is important for two reasons. The more important of which is pre-existing type synergy from past sets and the other is simply because clutter is always going to be a negative for stuff like this.
>>

There's notthing wrong with having your enemied driven before you and hearing the lamentations of their women. But insisting against all proof that their shit wasn't cute before you fucked it up is top class faggotry.

>>50603208
If Wizards came to 4chan for Magic feedback and they acted on "I want Magic-Egypt" from here as opposed to, "Why the fuck is this game so expensive" or "My store is struggling" or "Nobody gives a shit about SJW pandering" or "Eternal is dying" then that makes Wizards the most incompetent people on the planet.

So let's continue thinking that they don't come here for feedback. Because if you're going to outrageously credit 4chan for loving Egypt-Magic so hard, then you're going to accept that precious Wizards is a bunch of fuckwads.
>>
>>50601931

They also didn't have the wheel, but got by just fine without it. Their cities were at least as large and well populated as those in the Near East and bigger than those in Mycenae and later Greece. Hell, late Aztec cities were arguably nicer than Roman ones. They also had gold working, but that's kinda different. The only thing they lacked was metal working, because it never became necessary. Similarly, the Romans never figured out mechanization because they had so many slaves.

As noted, Romans never developed machines because they had slaves. Aztecs never developed iron because they had obsidian for surgery/weaponry and water for industry.

>>
>>50603558
They never used it for something more because getting steam to do some actual work requires boilers and plumbing that were far beyond their metallurgy. And boilers are hungry monsters when you have to rely on wood to fuel them, since the Greeks didn't have the ability to mass-mine coal, either.
>>
>>50603541

The pottery wheel is probably the first recorded use of a circle to do something, so they knew it'd spin.
They also pulled sleds on logs.

>>
Huh... It's a /tg/ goes /his/ argument. Neat. It's downright sentient compared to our usual arguments.
>>
>>50603687
Aztecs thought the wheel was a toy because a guy with a stick in a raft could move three times more products/people than three guys with wheelbarrows, and in less than half the time.

Development is not a straight line, the right invention at the wrong time, in the wrong place, is not progress. This monomaniac need to homogenize is half the reason the world is so fucked up today.

I think having 2-5 relevant tribes in each color/color combo is healthy for the game. There's only so many variations of lord you can print. There's only so much flavor you can pack into a tribe before they lose identity. Sticking all the tribal support also overloads shit and lets stuff like Fish happen where you just build a tribe of lords.

Compare to the Incas, who were a federationof bureaucratic farmers, and were integrated into Spanish culture fairly well, even getting to practice their worship on the side, so long as they were Christian all the other time.

The aztecs were defeated by smallpox. They were beating the spaniard-indio alliance untill a sudden decimation in their population atributed to a plague.

>>
>>50606947

Although from what I understand there is also the belief the Aztecs thought being sacrificed was an honorable death, comparable only to dying in battle or the women's equivalent, dying in childbirth.

yeah, it should be obvious, but I keep forgetting that neither the Mayans or Aztecs were in what is now Brazil.
It's a thing I've learned many times, but my brain will not retain unless I conciously think about it. Like how to spell fortunately, or which state is New Hampshire, and which is Vermont.

I unironically love Kynaios and Tiro. I think they were done tastefully and even hinted at well back in Theros.
I don't mind Alesha because I do think a nomadic tribe staving off dragons wouldnt give 2 fucks what someone's gender was as long as they can fight well
Narset being autistic was the stupidest shit they've ever pulled out of their asses and they need to apologize for it

>The Mayans were direct predecessors to the Aztec

Fucking nope. That's like saying the French were direct predecessors to the Germans because they both had empires and lived on the same continent. They were a completely separate culture in terms of religion, language, government, etc.
>>
>>50609232
Wouldn't it be more like the Byzantines and European powers?
>>
>>50609399
Kinda splitting hairs, but yeah. The public tends to think of pre-colombian America as being all of the same culture while easily being able to tell the difference between an Italian and a German. It's just plain ethnocentrism.
>>
>>50602608
Individual packs (the shit that gets put on hooks at target and walmart, not the shit from boxes at your LGS) have been like that since Return to Ravnica block.
>>
>>50605627
Even if the set wasn't incredibly weak, it would still be bad. It introduced next to nothing to the game, and had the worst set design ever.

So is the format for naming and pacing of the sets going to be:

Set 1, named after the plane.
Flavor introduces to the plane and the underlying problem whatever it might be.

Set 2, vague name reprenting some sort of transformational conflict.
Flavor represents the conflict and it's conclusion.

And sprinkle in some progressivism somewhere of course.
>>
>>50607917
Beast and Lizards always filled this role.
Don't add unnecessary subtypes for fuck sake.
>>
>>50610507

Those names are obviously placeholders, they haven't filed trademark yet

and Set 2 is now 'when the Gatewatch all show up and solve everything'
>>
Since human sacrifice is such a big thing in these cultures can we expect certain altar cards to be reprinted? Or "sacrifice a creature" being a common effect on cards. Maybe a return of Exploit and/or Unearth?
>>
>>50610709
>there will be a time in the future when the Gatewatch will also include Ugin, Narset, Tamiyo, Karn and Jeska
>>
>>50610507
>And sprinkle in some progressivism somewhere of course.
People say this, but of all the additions for special audiences (references to old cards, legends for old characters, popular culture references like the Plant with protection from Zombie), the leftist stuff is actually pretty tiny.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>leak
Why do you guys fall for this shit every time?
>>
>>50610821
It's not a fake, WotC have admitted this.

It's not deliberate, because it would be counterproductive to waste hype now for a set in Autumn 2017 and Winter 2018 when there's already a set about to come out now and a whole block in the Summer.
>>
>>50610748
Nah, the natives are all peaceful and nature loving tribes. All the human sacrifices are propaganda made by dirty white invaders.
>>
>>50610862
>it's not deliberate
Just like the big leak last December when a bunch of rares that should have been spoiled earlier were "leaked" and then not officially revealed until the full card gallery?

>they wouldn't build up hype when they have a different set coming out
That is EXACTLY what they did when they announced Amonkhet, released an official trailer for it and set up a preview page before they had even released the first set of the block prior. The fact that it matches their usual timing proves it's deliberate.

Every Christmas we go through this.
>>
>>50610880
This is true, my thats why they got rid of columbus day. I mean the man used to fuck the bodies of every native he met I can't understand why white people rule the world because theyre so fucked.

>Amonkhet
Shit. That's what I started calling my Sorcerer Lord in 40k years ago.

Then A Thousand Sons came out and people thought I meant Amon.

Now this will come out and people will think I named my dude after a shitty Magic plane.

Spare a thought for a certain Egyptian goddess then.

>>50611937
That's what everyone knows the aztecs for like what thwey know the greeks for the pntheon. It'll be in.
They played it safe with Kladesh because there are actually a fuckton of Hindus in existence tody but no one practices the aztec faith anymore. They can go nuts

>>50610880

Y'know, people keep saying shit like this but there's been a total of one antagonistic white guy on Kaladesh, who is the archenemy of the mostly-white Chandra. Beyond that the villains are Tezzeret, whose race is unclear, and the Consulate, particularly Kambal, who is Indian.

I feel like people are overreacting to an increased presence of non-white people among the heroes and ignoring that this in no way indicates a portrayal of white people as villains. Right now every single member of the gatewatch, the heroes of this arc of Magic's plot, is either white or white-ish and the majority of the villains have been aliens or dragons.

Untwist your panties, man.
>>
>>50614360
The ironic thing is that these people are the same ones bitching about the Gatewatch, and they'd probably like non-white gatewatch better.
>Koth as red

>Invent someone for Green
>Invent someone for black. Yahenni's going over well, shoehorn a spark into them or something. Wouldn't be the first time.
>>
>>50615229

Yahenni drains Tezzeret, which give them Tezzeret's Spark. When Yahenni travels, they are refreshed by the Aether in the Blind Eternities, keeping them alive but also having an incentive to travel. Now Yahennei travels the Multiverse seeking out the best parties while helping their friends when they aren't at a rager. Or whatever.

"If you sacrifice this creature, small beneficial effect"
There, I made honorable/benevolent sacrifice.

>>50615382
Pretty good. We don't even need the refresh, since there'll always be evil things he can drain.

Not that Anon, but it's a good way to build walls.
Europe used to build their walls like that, too.

Even the Great Wall of China is mostly compacted dirt.

It's important to note that Riotborn Defenses has different reminder text from other Populate cards, too.

Sure, why not. Plus we get a more likable character than Liliana. I mean, no more milky white necromancer breasts, but not a terrible trade.

But that contradicts the entirety of the cosmology we've been given up to this point. They'd have to figuratively shit on everything we know about the universe pre and post mending and--Oh my god they might just actually do something this retarded.

Where did cutting come from? And why did you bring up water as something the Aztecs used for cutting? Are you really saying what they used it for is anything like how we use water jets?
