apparently Wizards of the coast cooperated with a japanese company to produce a manga/instructional booklet explaining the rules of mtg in the form of a Manga. this was unexpected even for an mtg midfag like myself. here is the link to the translated version i found http://imgur.com/a/P6wKX . otherwise discuss general EDH stuff in this thread.
>pic is related only because its the only other example i can think of when Wizards did something Japanese/anime themed.

Honestly I'd prefer weeb-Magic art compared to the incredibly boring art they have now.
That or bring back Rebecca Guay so it actual feels like a fucking fantasy game again.

In 1999, inspired by the success of Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Wizards of the Coast licensed Magic: The Gathering for a manga series called Duel Masters by Shigenobu Matsumoto. The company was not, however, entirely happy with Matsumoto's take on the concept (a series based on people playing Magic rather than one actually set in the fictional worlds of the game). For this reason, they never imported the manga to the US, and were reluctant to greenlight an anime. They worked around the problem by inventing a new card game also called "Duel Masters"* , essentially "Magic lite", to be used in the anime.
This new anime proved popular enough that a TCG was actually created after it, again called "Duel Masters". Anything from the franchise from this point on, including later Japanese manga as well as American-created comic,) would use Duel Masters cards instead of Magic: The Gathering cards.

Jesus, OP. This thread is a fucking trainwreck. Not only you don't even know what are you talking about (>>53001270), but also there is already an EDH thread, do you even know how to use the catalog?
I guess we can discuss anime MTG, I really dig those artist in Pivix, also >>53000173 knows what's up, that guy has some busty and cute Chandra, Nissa and Avacyn.
As for a Jacetice League anime, I highly doubt it. If they ever did an animated series it would be like the Justice League cartoon style, square jaws and all that. Dunno what's the studio who make those.

I wonder how much (((they))) paid lesley jones to use her likeness
>>52998450
Bought two when they came out. Still use the alt-art Jace and Chandra, even if Chandra blows. Kind of a shame they never did this with the other duel decks, but I guess there would be players in each country miffed about not getting one art or the other.

I would love a MtG anime as long as it was written like it was a 90s anime; I'd prefer Magic: The Terrible But Interesting Cartoon to Magic: The Super Long Light Novel Title Where Everything Is A JRPG Reference or Lesbian Teasing.
And it wouldn't be hard to write.
>big bad is Bolas, general Tezzeret and AnimeOP
>Chandra/Jace goes from plane to plane, one plane per episode or two, solving problems in the wake of the generals
>season finally involves the team wasting OP villain
Throw in decent action and cool backgrounds. There, an anime with writing on par with Magic.

Who needs to pay for likenesses? If they can't prove it's their likeness, you're home free.
>>53000809
I miss the old art. Even as recently as Khans block the art was reasonably good but it's taken a dump on itself recently. What would it take for Wizards to pay for good art again?
>>52998450
This is adorable.
