I mean........I do enjoy 3 set blocks more. And I do hate the gatewatch.

And.....revolution is boring right now.

I just want settings like lorwynn and kamigawa again. Neat settings that dont feature planeswalkers. In the background is fine

I'm not buying standard until they knock it off with the subtle Marxist/sjw shit and, of course, start printing decent new cards again. Standard is toxically underpowered and has been for a while; as soon as the sets rotate out, the cards will be worthless.

>>Drop this bullshit two-set paradigm. Three set blocks are just better.
No blocks would be even better.
Every set is designed to play with the set after it and stories can take anything from 1-5 sets if they want.
Boom, no more broken narratives, unsupported mechanics or creative pressures.
>>
>>53281206
Every set is about whitey saving the stupid coloreds, and SJWs are so fanatical they don't even realize how racist that shit is.
>>
>>53280278
Honestly, the part that annoys me most is not how stupidly broken the card is.

It's that the shitstained retard that invented it isn't smart enough to realize that it can infinitely deal 5 damage to itself to gain control of shit, nor do they realize that each and every conjunction doesn't need a comma.
>>
>>53280278
I remember when they announced the 2-block change.
Literally EVERYONE was happy with it because it meant no core sets (which people didn't buy because they were mostly reprints), and because with few exceptions one of the three sets in the three set blocks was just...completely underwhelming and solely there to have three sets.
Hell, at the time people weren't too upset about faster rotation because it meant annoying shit - the bogeymen that always ended up in decks - would leave slightly faster - I believe at the time it was Desecration Demon/Pack Rats and friends that people were harping about.
Of course, they didn't expect removal to get worse and worse and worse, to the point where we're marvelling at SHOCK HOLY SHIT THEY LET US HAVE SHOCK. Nor did they think they'd be upping the cost on staple effects like wraths and mana dorks.

I would dispute the two sets being mechanically better because a lot of mechanics don't feel very well explored in the last 3 blocks, because apparently Wizards felt the need to try to make each set mechanically very different. Colorless mana creatures from Gatewatch really stand out to me in that regard. I would've liked to see them explored more.
>>
>>53280278
Just remove this set rotation bullshit and unlock all cards, then make a advanced format banlist like Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Remove the feminist bloggers as writers of the main plot and bring back the Mirrodin/Kamigawa great days.

Also, kill all the Planesuckers.

>Drop this bullshit two-set paradigm. Three set blocks are just better.
Meh, this is good. make one well designed set and then release supplementary set to fix up whatever needs to be more strong or deserves more counters.

>BTFO the Gatewatch. More like Shitwatch, amirite?
I'm indifferent to Gatewatch as a story driving mechanism, I'm more worried about trillions of different planeswalker cards for a single character.

>Stop catering specifically to one very narrow audience. We don't need three fucking blocks about revolutions in a row. Make a variety of flavor everyone can love.

>>
>>53283999
>Two sets are mechanically better but narratively much worse.
Do you play the game or only read the fanfiction?
Besides, the story in the last few sets has been uninteresting because it's badly written, not because it's split in two acts instead of three.
>>
>>53285805
Holy christ this.

The story is fucking trash. The characters are becoming more and more schizo and random in their motives and direction. Sure, there's a broad, general character but you cannot pin down how they will act from short to short. Literally a cast of Rei's from Force Awakens.

You know, I love revolutions as a theme, but I will have a hard time to find one in mtg. No kaladesh wasn't a revolution, it was a restoration: things were ok until something make it worse and some guys had to put everything in place.
If it had been a revolution block, we would have seen a radical shift, at least two if not more ideologies and different values conflicting, we will have seen a struggle for power...

I wouldn't even have complained if they had just romanticised the fuck out of it, I would have settle for "Les misérables: the set".
Instead I got Rent.

>>53287516
Even if the movie tie-in tanked, Hasbro would simply force the WotC to replace the Gatewatch with a new circle of superfriends who are more "Hip, edgy, and engaging with 18 to 35 year old males."
>>
>>53284749
In the three set blocks, one set would be just 'more of the same stuff' and one would be mechanically very different, its mechanics basically left unexplored beyond the lowest hanging stuff and usually not doing much with the older stuff. So what we have now, but with First Set Part Two.
They did this because people would get bored of shit after an entire year of the same shit.

Yes, they need to explore the things they do use more now. That's not an inherent problem with two-block as much as R&D suddenly being fucking pussies about everything.
>>53285805
Exactly. Pretty much all the problems people are having with the two-block thing aren't with two-block but because WotC decided to fuck everything ELSE up the moment they shifted to it.
Development started their 'let's be SUPER BORING and make everything Safe, and then miss everything strong and oh hey the stuff we pushed is so strong it's the only things worth a damn' thing. And while I can forgive a lot of things, missing a turn 4, two card infinite combo when one of the pieces is a card they were specifically trying to have as the Face of the Set was fucking retarded.
Creative shit themselves all over the place with the Gatewatch, and I still can't tell if someone up above decided they needed to cash in on the Avengers money or they did it themselves. It was fucking stupid regardless and EVEN THEN they forgot to actually look at what they were imitating and just go LET'S SHOVE THESE FIVE CHUCKLEFUCKS IN EVERY SET FROM NOW TIL DOOMSDAY. Maybe if they realized that doing that makes people tired of seeing those same faces constantly, or maybe if they'd have actually written anything decent other than Ken Troop and his magical realms it wouldn't be so bad. But nope, full dumbshit ahead.
I don't know if it's they need more people or just different ones but holy fuck something needs to change.

>Standard is toxically underpowered and has been for a while
Sure, old archetypes aren't as good as they used to be but we just had splinter twin banned and now it's full of turn 4 double vindicate + half marit lage. The problem of standard is that R&D can't balance for shit anymore, and a couple of decks end up vastly outperforming anything else.
>>
>>53282073
Conspiracy 2? Are you kidding? That was all about a planeswalker. Kaya even had a special foil version in the set, something thats just not done. You're fooling yourself if you think Conspiracy 2 wasnt all about a planeswalker.

>>53283718
>Every set is about whitey saving the stupid coloreds

this is why I can't really consider the recent sets to be "SJW", sure there's a bunch of brown people on the cards, but does Amonkhet still count if the story is "A handful of white folk come to tell the brown people their culture is evil and barbaric and to save them from themselves"?
>>
>>53288728
t. someone who hasn't been around when u/b faeries was in Standard.
>>
>>53288823
Is it even relevant how 'SJW' a set is? Heck, is the amount of brown people on cards supposedly linked to this SJW-factor?
>>
>>53288823
It does when cards like Samut exist. In each of the last 2 blocks, the frumpy brown and black women respectively are already in various states of rebellion. The Jacetice League just pushes it over the top.

>>53281293
>Every block becomes this as Wizards runs out of ideas and decides to make every block the gatewatch fighting against the fictional British empire

Yeah Aether Revolt definitely had some counters to the bullshit in Kaladesh, and same with Eldritch Moon

This is a by-product of the gatewatch as a general rule.

To me personally, no, but going by how many posts in the Magic threads lately are variants of "How dare Wizards put brown people on my cards REEEEEE!!" I seems like it's the most important thing ever to a lot of people here.

Thing is, that IS SJW "culture".
SJWs are the most racist people in the world right now because they inherently declare and insist that colored people are stupid, useless and weak and need rich white women to save them from evil white men.

At least Trump thinks mexicans are competent enough to be a threat and that, while hateful, is more validating of them as independent thinking people than SJW's Orwellian paternalism..

Chandra is Indian and Gideon is Greek, Nissa isn't even human. Considering white people are represented by a weedy boy and an evil necromancer I'd say the SJWs have this shit under control

Do any of you even play the game? Who cares if the card has art with a wom or a brown person, all that matters is mana cost and the effects.

-Remove planeswalkers
Never going to happen
-Stop treating rarity as powerlevel
Maro said that rarity is supposed to be complexity.
There is NOTHING complex about 1G 2/3 Vigilance that grows into a 4/5 at no additional cost once you have an arbitrary number of lands down. Literally get overpowered shit WAY above curve just for playing the game? How is that complex?
But at rare apparently it's okay.
Meanwhile lower rarity struggles to get a heavily conditional 2/2 double strike for RR at uncommon?
>>
>>53293519
That line of thought is what makes it so we have to fucking "don't be a nazi" speeches from judges between rounds so that the non-present coloreds and women feel safe in such an evil and toxic enviroment as this of nerds playing card games for children.
>>
>>53293519
I agree with your first point, although people are arguing that the quality of art has declined due to Wizards pandering to the forced diversity crowd.

The lore thing is annoying because Magic really has an opportunity to shine with its lore, we have a huge number of interesting and unique settings that Wizards just don't seem to want to explore, the lore adds to the enjoyment of the game for a lot of people. If Griselbrand was just a demon with on further backstory he wouldn't be nearly as cool
>>
>>53280311
Fpbp
>>
>>53293533
then what ethnicity would you call the brown people from India and Pakistan?
>>
>>53293612
I suppose if you're into the lore it must be very frustrating, but to me that is peripheral to the actual mechanical game. I LOVE cool cards and great card art, dont get me wrong. I guess I still feel like there's plenty of that and the major changes have been in the art style (probably a product of digital painting over hand painting) and the lack of fun or cool or interesting cards below rare rarity for a few years now

Just my opinion though I'm only one person.

I'm still not altogether sold on the art debate, I think Magic players are spoiled when it comes to art compared to most other card games and I don't blame Wizards for trying to homogenise the artstyle to some extent, we still get some beautiful art anyway and it's not like we didn't get some absolute shit in the past

1) No. Marxism is a political and economical system, and the suggested method to reach it. "Cultural marxism" the way it is used most of the time nowadays is a misuse of the name given to the Frankfurt's School thought on culture, which was already quite far removed from how Marx saw culture. The fact he only took economy in account, disregarding almost everything else, is actually one of the biggest weaknesses in Marx's system. It has nothing to do with trans and black people, even if today's communist are close to LGBT and PoC movements.
2) If you know what marxism is, you should know it is absurd to claim a company such as WotC has a marxist or communist agenda.

Of course there's nothing wrong with being not white, but Greeks have always been considered "white", at least here in America, just because their skin is naturally tanned doesn't make them any less so.

And it's considered a /pol/ thing since Greece is a shithole and sucks money out of the EU, so they will call them not-white to preserve their "everything bad comes from brown people" narrative.
>>
>>53293568
Rarity is also balancing for limited. So, yeah rarity often is powerlevel, and WotC are very unabashed about this point because of limited.
>>
>>53295685

Well the thing about Greece is that it's been invaded and assimilated into various middle eastern brown people cultures and empires throughout its history, so ethnically speaking it's quite reasonable to say theyre not white in the same way that other Europeans are white

Ancient Greece on the other hand was white because they hadn't yet been conquered by brown people yet

I still don't understand why we've been leaping from plane to plane at break-neck speed ever since the Mirari plotline ended.

We had a block where Phyrexians were re-introduced, and then we left it and haven't heard shit since for almost seven years now.

The two-set block dynamic is also trash, and has dumbed shit down to retard levels. Mechanics are introduced and then almost immediately forgotten and we're stumbling through some dumb-shit writing that completely contradicts why they introduced the mending in the first place.

Not the same anon, but when I took Communication studies in University 5 or 6 years ago, every lecture on the Frankfurt School refered to their ideology as 'Cultural' Marxism. I still have notes from those lectures which show as much.

It wasnt until about last year or 2015 that the term was phased out because the newly coalesced Alt-right started using it to criticize the proponents of the Frankfurt School.

Cultural Marxism might be removed from Marx's original economic/materialist outlook, but it is a valid descendant. With out Marx, there would be no Frankfurt School, and therefore no Critical Theory/Cultural Marxism.

Anon, no one who discusses politics on the internet has actually studied politics or knows what any of their buzzwords mean. Don't engage them, it's a pointless exercise. They'll just sling purple rhetoric and logical fallacy until cretins start to parrot them, thus verifying their nonsense.
>>
>>53303793
>>53294617
Now, as for connecting WotC to Critical Theory/Cultural Marxism, It's honestly less that their some kind of
>le ebil commie front

And more that they've been influenced by proponents of Cultural Marxism, who are hired by WotC or complain to the company about whatever the trendy issue du jeur is.

Followers of Critical Theory are less ideologues and/or 'infiltrators' and more just a bunch of people actively practicing a religion. They can't help but evangelize. And that *partly* is what led to the current dismal state of MtG.

But there's never just one reason for the rise or fall of something. Wizards are glutting their market with two-part blocks, and focussing too much on their planeswalker characters in a disjointed metaplot.

Well, that's no reason to to try to explain to people what they're talking about. I mean, they are technically right. 'Cultural Marxism' is a proper term, and a lot of what they blame on it *is* championed by Critical Theory's proponents.

The fact you believe a company cannot have Marxist goals tells me you haven't read Engels, and thus don't understand the actual basis of Marxism.

And yeah, just play with custom cards or whatever. A more organized effort using digital cards and bitcoin support would make things so much better.

But that's fundamentally misrepresenting the major issue, that "slack-tivism" has reached critical mass, and the only things in life that are actually changeable, from a inter-subjective level, are things you can bitch about on the internet that have basically no impact on day to day life, and require minimum invested effort.

Why would anyone try to bring about real, meaningful change when someone will literally pay you money to spew generic platitudes that pander to the lowest common denominator? The answer is you wouldn't, and no body does, but it's worse than that because the ubiquity of these platitudes is utterly disarming to anyone doing anything meaningful. It's the whole faux-democratic discourse that's incredibly popular with idiots on facebook/twitter/whatever who fundamentally misunderstand meritocracy.

For example, here in canada they're talking about a holistic reorganization of curriculum to incorporate "native" discourse and cultural organization as nationally recognized educational certification. It isn't enough that shakespear has literally been replaced by native authors, they're talking about the complete social reorganization from an ideological perspective to accommodate a very small group of people, which stems directly from this bullshit, and all the "keyboard warriors" who think clicking like and mashing their face into a keyboard does anything meaningful. This is specifically designed to obfuscate the real issues in the world, as fed through hyper-subjectified social media feeds that perpetuate positive feedback loops. It's the panopticon, and there will be radical changes in the world while no one cares about real issues. Just watch.

You don't want to see what would Lorwyn be under NWO, 'limited matters' and 'PC story' design.
For a example, the BG elves would be very different.

What the hell? i just started playing MTG (with the amonkhet deck builders toolkit) and what is this about subtle sjw shit?

Other than the two mandatory target audience stand ins (Jace and Gideon), every good character is a female, a nigger or both. Every bad character is white and male with the exception of Tezzeret (who used to be darker-skinned). Not a year ago they were justifying a female character commiting genocide because a male character left her stood up and retconned the avatar of anihilation into an innocent fertility goddess.

WotC seems to be getting their writers from Seattle community college women's studies majors.

You're retarded. They don't have it in their agenda, it's part of wider culture so it sells.

What about that necromancer chick? isnt she a bad guy too? Also Amonketh is the newest set and the BBEG is nicol bolas. first up he has a shitty woman's name and second he's a dragon.
>>
>>53307065
Well, some of those people are now decrying dragons as racist symbols of white oppression that keeps nonwhites from enjoying fantasy genres. And to respond to your other question, they've been Kerriganing her for a while now.

>woman's name but is referred to as male
>three colors


Obviously Amonkhet actually an attack on liberal values by having a bunch of white people coming to tear down his domain because they can't stand the thought of a Strong Independent Trans-Dragon of Mixed Ethnicity being ruler of anything.
