>Feathered T-Rexes I told you Wizards would fuck up the Dinosaurs

>>53881564
If you're referring to that poorly researched amatuerish 'paper' that just came out, the scientific community has already come to consensus that it's conclusions were faulty, presented only layman's understanding of the facts (like the supposition that feathers are like hair and help retain heat when they're actually radiators) and the media just seized on one tiny part of said already flawed paper and blew it out of proportion.

Trexes had feathers. Deal with it

Damn, Aztecs, pirates, and dinoaurs? And you dumb niggers are complaining? Fucking neowalkers, I swear. This is the first set that might actually make me look at M:tG again in over 10 years.

>>53881791
>Chickens, Emus, Ostriches etc are all considered types of surviving dinosaurs
I would argue against that, while birds are descended from theropod dinosaurs, saying that is like saying mammals are surviving synapsids. There's a genetic link and several species may have traits that fill similar niches, but it's not necessarily close.

Also fun fact mammals and birds were around by the Jurassic period.

>>53881564

I like that Ixalan seems silly. It doesn't take itself too seriously. There are no angsty millenia-old-vampires. No rebellion against tyranny, no plane-devouring monsters and no Gatewatch. Kaladesh was borning as fuck. It was like a shitty version of Ravnica. Amonkhet is like a concession. It hasn't been fleshed out enough to be interesting or distinct, it's just a stage for the return of Bolas. Ixalan seems like its own weird thing. We need more of that. How many times can we revisit the same planes? We're going back to Dominaria! The game has come full circle and the novelty of returning to planes has faded.

You're right on that one, m8. Here’s a thing that happened to one of my friends. I was there.

Basically, we were walking down the sidewalk, talking about something meaningless. I think it had to do with a movie. Then this bus screeches up, stops next to us, and a bunch of people with “Down with Cis” shirts climbed out and started beating him up. I was punched and kicked a bit too, but I managed to avoid brutalization by going for their faces. After figuring out what’s happening, I started attacking them back, getting them off of him. He was quite injured but I called 911 and he made a full recovery at the hospital. I was fine, with only a cut on my arm that they patched up.

I thought deinonichus and velociraptors weren't from the same places.
Also i think i read somewhere that Spielberg knew they were supposed to be tinier but thought that they wouldn't be intimidating enough.

We should just ban everyone who doesn't like feathered dinosaurs.

Regardless of whether or not they actually did have them, if Ixalan does have a sort of Aztec theme, feathered dinosaurs is a great aesthetic to make the plane's dinosaurs distinct and sort of match the feathered serpent concept. So regardless of any scientific accuracy, making then feathered was the correct design decision imo.

Once again, feathered dinos are rad, but it's pretty foolish to think every one of them was covered in feathers. Beasts like ankylosaurus or triceratops are pretty unlikely to have been feathered.

I'm honestly quite surprised that the History Channel, hacks that they are, haven't ran with the idea that the Aztec feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl was actually a type of dinosaur, and the Mesoamericans were running on either ANCIENT ALIENS or had oral tradition that went back to the Jurassic.

Yeah, IMO feathers should be restricted to therapods as a best guess right now, which is a fairly large grouping. But I'm not totally opposed to feathers on other dinosaurs as well, though it gets weirder for those we know had plates of some description.

>>53881904
There really isn't much difference between birds and theropod dinosaurs, to the point that dromaeosaurids like Velociraptor are actually more closely related to birds than other non-aviant theropods and most plaeontologists use the term non-avian theropods when referring to "normal" (i.e. not including birds) theropods. Birds are for all intents and purposes very specialized form of dinosaur, and saying they're not dinosaurs is like saying whales are not mammals (they're highly derived compared to their terrestrial ancestors, and have evolved many unique traits while losing some traits common to most mammals. but they're still mammals).

As for feathered T. rex, we still don't know quite for sure. Paleontologists have recently discovered skin impressions of Tyrannosaurus that show scales (we've had some before, but only from areas that would even on feathered animals be featherless, like the bottom of the feet), but we also know several of its relatives did have feather. Based on the evidence, I'd be inclined to think T-rex was like modern rhinoes or elephants, and essentially hairless/featherless even if some related species had hair/feathers (elephants and rhinoes aren't actually hairless, but for most part they have very space hair; same would probably apply to Tyrannosaurus). However, somebody did this picture that combines skin impressions from different areas of body from various tyrannosaurids into a coherent whole, showing that the findings aren't necessarily in conflict if we assume the animal could have had a thick coat of feathers only on some areas of the body.

Tyrannosaurus with modern bird-like feathers is factually incorrect however, as those kinds of feathers only existed on a few specific groups of dinosaurs (dromaeosaurids and their relatives mostly), while most feathered dinosaurs had hair- or down-like coating.

>>53887941
Do keep in mind that tyrannosaurs are part of the coelurosauria, and basically a brother/sister of dromaeosauria.

Smart, tactics using, group hunting tyrannosaurs.

>>53881564
The T-Rex did have feathers though.

I know you may not like the idea because you were four when Jurassic Park came out and fake Spielberg dinosaurs are a big part of your youngfag development, but facts are facts.

>>53888069
Nye is just a mouth piece. Also, what's your favorite color(s) in magic?

>>53887976
True, and that is one of the main reason we can assume that basal tyrannosaurids were feathered, and if T. rex didn't have fetahers, it would have lost them over the course of evolution. Carnosaurs seem to have been featherless, but with coelurosaurs feathers were the norm. However, only some specific groups of coelurosaurs evolved the same kinds of feathers you see on modern birds.

I do find it rather amusing that tyrannosaurs, once thought to be among the archeotypical carnosaurs, are in fact coelurosaurs. For a long time the distinction was basically "big scary theropod=carnosaurs, small less scary theropod=coelurosaur", and then it turns out the most famous theropod of all time and one of the largest land predators to ever live was actually an oversized coelurosaur.

Look, Dinosaurs is a phrase that covers a great deal of time.

There seems to be consensus that Raptors and their ilk (direct bird ancestors) had feathers.

Scientists are looking into stuff like T. Rex. and Triceratops.

You know OP, just because you repost at a different time doesn't make your opinion less shit.

>>53888962
Pretty much this. I think either is a valid creative representation in a fantasy game, we just happened to go to a world where feathered dinosaurs totally make sense aesthetically and was probably the correct choice in context. If we were to see more dinos in, say, Dominaria, I think they could just be scaled. I almost wish the set was focused 100% on that (mesoamerican dinosaur world), since it seems like a really sweet creative hook, without it being kind of diluted by the pirates and and nautical stuff.

Evolution is a theory and the only reason it isn't a fact is because you can't watch it happen... So you are correct and incorrect, feathered dinos are a theory, but have so much evidence to support that there were feathered dinos that it is most likely true.

>>53885740
IIRC, at the time Crichton wrote the book originally, people were pushing to have the sole species of genus Deinonychus reclassified as being part of genus Velociraptor (despite being found on another continent entirely), and so he had it at the appropriate size for the former but called the latter.
But by the time of the movie, that whole thing was null and void, Deinonychus was Deinonychus. They kept the name because that's what was in the book, and I'm guessing because they figured it was easier to say and shortening it to 'raptor' would work wonderfully. Which, as everyone knows, it did.

>>53888962

I don't agree. Mesoamerica is more than just "FEATHERS, FEATHERS EVERYWHERE".

Do panthers need feathers? What about Caimans? And Snakes let's cover them in some fluffy down. Because that would obviously be better suited than just having scales.

Besides Warhammer Fantasy did Aztec dinosaurs that were fucking fantastic, they didn't feel the need to update them with bloody Aunt Hilda's fascinatior glued to their body.

Haste+Trample really helps sell him since while he might not get you value on resolution you're unlikely to be totally denied flips if you resolve him. 7 power is also a magic number to kill with commander damage, and naya gives you a LOT of toys.

I kind of love that he's this big dumb Timmy commander but there are actually a lot of lines of attack implied so you can play Timmy without playing *dumb*. If, from errata to old cards or Ixalan's additions, he gets some interesting Dinos to support him, it's going to be a really great commander.

It's pirate vraska, so a pirate gorgon, Ixalan so far looks really silly which I like.

It's the Aztecs. There could be a million reasons.

I love how you put pointless facts in your giant ball of lies in order to make it sound more believable.

Protip: Doing that makes what you're saying even more suspicious. If you're going to lie, be as vague as you can get away with. It's easier to believe because it gives your doubters less to pick apart, and it sometimes gives you the plausible deniability of it being a misunderstanding if you get caught out.

Do... Do you know anything about the Aztecs? Literally feathered serpents are a particularly holy animal in their mythology.

I'm just pointing out that the bugs in the amber are not that big. I'm not debating anything???

so are your sjw bogeymen weak cucks that big internet alphas like you can roll all over or are they roving death cults that will flatten people for no reason?

Bad solution to a real problem.

So...what kind of dinosaurs do you think we'll see? I know of a triceratops, t-rex, and deinonychus, but are we going to get an stegosaurus? A brachiosarus? Maybe some ancient reptiles like a pteranodon or a magical liopleurodon?

>>53887857
>already rock hard.jpg

>>53898424
There's already a white pterosaur.

>>53898140
I dont think theyre feather on tyruntrum, i think its just literally a beard. Never thought of that though.

>>53898516
Oh, I didn't see that in the leaked photos. I will admit my squint vision isn't the best. Loving the idea to make a dinosaur tribal for my kitchen table group. Gishark looks like fun and it'll give me an excuse to disembowel my Naya deck and get new cards

>>53898424
>>53898424
We have three horns, long necks, flyers, and sharpteeth big and small in known cards. I only hope we see at least one big mouth and spike tail

(Also, used the Land Before Time terminology because M:tG is only approximate so species names are kinda meaningless)

Feather dinosaurs look better and are more accurate. Only children think naked dinosaurs are "4w3som3", but sentiment and traditions always trump actual facts. It's the same butthurt as crying about Pluto, like it was some personal friend

Wait, people unironically do this? I get why some asshats on 4chan pretend to be retarded, but you're telling me that people unironically deny the possibility of feathered dinos? To what end?

>>53902148
To what end? 'Scales are cooler' is the only thing I've heard.

>>53888097
This. Feathered dinosaurs make perfect sense in the context of the setting.

>>53898424
Wasn't the Brachiosarus proven to not of existed, or am I thinking of another sauropod?

>>53903901
I think that was the diplodocus?

>>53881616
Totally equivalent.
Totally.

>>53881616

Totally.

Do you ever question what life decisions lead you to this point where youre trolling about dinosaur feathers to multiple genders on an Indonesian basket weaving forum?

Because you should.

>>53895722
Well, it isn't, it's antipositivist post-modernist bullshit. The post modernists don't believe in fucking logic or reason, feels > reals is a very real postmodernist belief, the term is affective language when somebody is using "I FEEL like I'm black" rather than "I have this skin pigmentation therefore I'm black". And antipositivists believe the former is the only correct way about going about fucking """""scientific""""" study.

There is a very real divide here. I'm lucky to not have to deal with those retards that often, I'm in physics, but holy shit the few positivist social scientists I know are this close to shooting up their department.

>>53903901
>>53903976
No, both of those were real dinos.

>>53885302
Some students and the nuttier side of faculty have had weird ideas since the dawn of time. They didn't turn us all into commies in the 60's, swingers in the 70's, or hedgefund managers in the 80's and they won't destroy all gender identity or make us all gay now. Calm down

>>53888723
I agree. Everyone who isn't politically correct on 4chan should be horribly murdered and publicly executed.

>>53904147
Then what's the sauropod I'm thinking of, I know I heard somewhere that one of them was found to of just been two other sauropod skeletons that were found in the same hole or something. The Diplodocus perhaps?

>>53904498
Think it was Brontosaurus but the thing was confirmed real if my googlefu isn't wrong.

>>53881842
As a 90's kid, I remember wondering why exactly Pluto was considered a planet when I was first taught about the solar system.

>>53881616
this isn't even an argument

the article itself didn't even claim that dinosaurs didn't have feathers it just shed light on the areas of the body that didn't have them. Did you even read the article?
>>53881904
> while birds are descended from theropod dinosaurs, saying that is like saying mammals are surviving synapsids
they are though? that's how taxonomy works.

fuck the education system is failing so many people, and that's not even an insult it's an apology.

>>53885189
the problem with this is alot of people disagree because "they look bad" is subjective if you want a giant scaly reptile in a fantasy game just use a dragon, that is LITERALLY what they are for

>>53904990
>fuck the education system is failing so many people, and that's not even an insult it's an apology.
I concur with you. It's sad to see, and I fear it's only going to get worse as time goes on.

Brontosaurus, and the original discoverer is being vindicated again. A good example of how scientists can have their heads so firmly up their asses you need a crowbar to shake 'em loose.

to add to this why do normies think the only bird in existence is the domestic chicken, and artists the only macaws exist? like surely these people see a wide range of birds daily and chances are the birds they see are neither chickens or macaws.

yo spergs he said mauled by a cassowary to reference the fact that they are often considered "dinosaur birds", he is clearly not being serious, but memeing. the fact that you can't tell probably means you shouldn't be in this thread.
