its just a girl manhandling a fruity dinosaur, the only thing you can really complain about from the leftist influence is the prude point of view of female character design and the lack of ability to tackle concepts like imperialism or colonialism without pissing people off.

>progressive left wing virtue signaling
Where?

>>55171140
Look how fucking bland and lazy this is.

No emotion, no struggle, no character...
The fucking dinosaur has more emotion.

>>55171270
I dunno why they even tried to handle that in a set. They're not going to make anyone happy no matter how they handle it. Nobody's going to say that Ixalan really hit those colonialist themes out of the park. There is no conceivable version of Ixalan that will achieve that.

>>55171436
I wish it wasn't called Castaway's Despair, it's a little bit too on the nose as a name. I'd just have called it Cast Away.

>>55171249
dude the fact that they're feathered made it so they can use all these wonderful colours

I think I like the Planeswalker deck Jace more than I like the one in the set. It's a shame the art is so...boring.

I genuinely felt a bit for Jace on Castaway's Despair.

>>55171521
right? take away the gatewatch bullshit and actually giving your characters a struggle to face? not only that but showing that on a card? ffs i bet this wasn't even done on purpose and they just luckily managed to get it right.

>>55171529
Jace without the gaywatch is a lot of fun. I hope we get to see sociopath wizard man again.

>>55171480
>Cast Away
I was sure a card with that name already existed, but no.

>>55171270
Speaking of which, are there any non-white vampires in this set?

>>55171486
Its a mixed bag, you got some knockout pieces like the dinosaur ripping the platemail off the dead vampire, but then you get dumb shit like slapping feathers on a pterodactyls membrane wing or that random neck warmer on the anklyosaur.

>>55171583
I made absolutely sure to look that up before posting. I was just as baffled as you.

>>55171436
Why can't Jace grow a beard or get a tan? Is he some kind of congenital ponce?

Mind posting that? It sounds like it could be entertainingly retarded.

>>55171529

That actually sounds really helpful in a Merfolk/Pirate deck for pseudo-vigilance on everything.

The dinosaurs and the colonialism are actually facing the same problem. Of all the ways they could be handled, all of them will make a lot of people mad and none of them will make anyone happy. Having either in your game is a classic no-win situation.

Debatable. I like a mix of both.

>>55171647
2 sets.
Explorers of Ixalan is a box set release thing.

>>55171689
I kind of like how they've handled the colonialism thus far actually. They made them vampires, so a lot of people will look at them and assume they're just a corrupt church. But, in the lore of the setting, they only got to being such a widespread church because they had an artifact that made vampires not have to drink blood, so it was only upsides to become one. Then it was stolen and taken to this new world, so they have an actual reason why they're sailing across the sea to it, and a valid reason as to why it wouldn't be possible for them to simply stop and go home. There were a lot of factors in real colonialism that made it unfeasible for europeans to simply stop as well, but tying it up in a magical macguffin makes it a lot easier to swallow, gives them a sympathetic reasoning, while still giving them darker angles since they are still a giant nation of vampires

>>55171140
But I like tanned dinosaur knight waifu... granted, she'll likely be poorly characterized, overshadowed by Jace and ultimately overlooked from a narrative standpoint, but... fuck all the politics behind her creation. Appreciate what she is, not what they want her to be, because we both know she'll fail the representation angle just like Saheeli and Samut did.

>>55171831
I dunno. Right now she just strikes me as "warrior Pochahontas"

At least her design seems pretty neat with the mix of feathers and metal armor

I'm kinda bummed out we likely won't get any CRAZY looking gods for this set, especially considering they relegated the crazy blood religion towards the vampires. Ah well, hopefully we get some elementals with the crazy masks.

I agree on the triceratops and pteranadons, but therapods have nearly always had feathers, and continue to this day.

>>55172055
I'm not sure. Personally, I only really dislike Samut because they drew her in a terrible way screaming all the time

>>55172046
I'd wager they'll be between the colors of the merfolk and sun empire if it isn't just an artifact one-of.

>>55171899
They aren't the same person, personality wise they are at least somewhat distinct. However you are right in that they are the results of tokenism.

>>55172089
I would have been fine with it if they had said it to go with the 'feathered serpent' idea, but instead they had to bring science into it while simultaneously giving something that isn't even technically a dinosaur feathers.

>>55171974
Because they're a token effort to please paleontologyfags, and there's no pleasing them so you shouldn't even bothrt trying. Even if you do months of research and create a speculative model of a dinosaur that accords with all the current theories, the current theories will change in three months and you'll be just as wrong as if you'd never tried.

its not a 1:1 mirror of mesoamerica culture, otherwise you'd have human sacrifice and flaying, hip ball, kidnapping, etc.

>>55172189
Or you could be more sensible, and realize it's mainly a nod to feathered serpents, which are a super common motif in Mesoamerican cultures.

>>55172201
The actual good news is that now it won't be the one non-Gatewatch planeswalker per block, since in addition to her there's also Vraska and another Red pirate planeswalker we haven't seen yet, along with the possibility of another in the second set.

It's amazing how not being forced to cram 5 planeswalkers into each set gives you more options

>>55171899
I disagree that all of them are each a Mary Sue. Kaya is just kinda edgy in the nothing personnel kinda way. Saheeli is literally worthless and her and Rashmi could have been the same person (see also Oviya Pashiri), Samut is the literal worst and contributes nothing to the story, see also Djeru, and Huatli we don't know anything about yet.

But yeah they're all the 'new planeswalker to fill the token box'. If I was Indian, Egyptian, Central American, or a gangbanger, I'd be pretty patronized, honestly.

I know they'd never do it because they'd get so much shit for it, but including some of the darker shit that the Aztec in particular did would be metal as fuck.

I don't even see the pirates in Ixalan do anything particularly bad. What the hell? A people defined by violent robbery and bloodshed, and they seem to be just as blandly well-behaved as everyone else. Where's the terror? Where's the dead merfolk tied to the prow as a figurehead? Where's the laughing pirate skeletons hoisting sails sewn from their own skins? I bet these guys don't even drink.

>>55172300
Losing to Bolas drove him insane. He probably doesn't even know what a planeswalker is anymore.

>>55172300
There's an unidentified source of disruption on the plane preventing him from planeswalking. The red pirate's hellbent on burning down the whole plane to find it.

>>55172287
No, I'm talking from experience, both from talking with people about media representation in general and Magic in particular. All it would take for you is a quick trip to Maro's blog to see people thanking Maro about these kinds of things.

You're pretty clearly speaking from a position of someone for whom this kind of representation doesn't apply, and so you immediately jump to the assumption that nobody must like this kind of representation.

>>55172300
He;s forgotten how to planeswalk, which you'd probably have figured out if you'd been keeping up.

>>55172300
by losing your memory and not knowing you can do so in the first place. He'll planewalk again when Ajani finds him and beats some sense into him.

>>55172327
I assume that planeswalker is Angrath?

>>55171899
These aren't Mary Sues, dumbass. Shallow and undeveloped characters, sure, but not Mary Sues.

Don't get me wrong, I really don't like Samut at all. But it's not because I give a shit about minority representation, it's because she's not a remotely compelling character. If these one-off characters are going to be a recurring trend, I'd prefer for them to at least be unique in a way only Magic can make them unique. Make Samut a doggo planeswalker instead. Give Kaladesh an Aetherborn planeswalker. I really don't care, as long as it's something new. Hell, just give a human planeswalker an interesting outlook, or write them as well as, say, Ob Nixilis was, and I'd be happy. But if they're not going to contribute to the overarching main plot in a believable way, and neither is their plane, then I'd rather they not fucking bother.

Woah there anon, it's not the year 2000 here; Magic can't get away with absolutely fucking rad shit like this anymore

>>55172358
The main problem stems from how Magic stories are structured. The defense of these characters being one-note token character is that they can theoretically show up again in a "Return to _____" set. So all of these PWs are written not to develop them as characters but to establish their "brand" for possible future stories. Which leaves nearly every character in the modern era of Magic extremely underdeveloped, with the idea that the continuous story may eventually revisit them and maybe flesh them out at some uncertain point in the future.

But I don't think the solution to that is to make a character a dog person, as though that would somehow make them interesting.

>>55171345
>>55171657

Not entirely sure, but Wotc have recently suffered from crappy characterisation, which may be, or may be easily mistaken for, SJW pandering. This is usually seen in characters who have no real traits other than their physical traits (e.g. "girl", "black" or "homosexual latino") and who are never 'tried' by any task - everything is easy for them because they're 'so great'. The only interaction these characters tend to have with others is that of 'validation' - no matter what they do, no matter how stupid or wrong it is, someone will be telling them; "you're great!". Most often seen in modern Marvel comics.

Is this in the current MTG setting? I don't know. Haven't read any of the fluff books and I doubt I ever will. I'm only really commenting to point out that such agendas can be written into such media and you shouldn't always assume that it's just right-wing whingers.

>>55172387
>Implying a non-male character being present
Anon, I severely doubt that's the case and why people are cheesed off.
Rather, it's the very specific trend about making it a point to tick diversity boxes (MaRo has outright stated this is a priority) and just shoving in muh stronk womyn of color with no rhyme, reason or character, having them be integral to the story in the form of planeswalkers, and disproportionately making up the texture of the various worlds, as if overcompensating.
Plus they hired a diversity consultant so they could be told how shitlord-y they were being and how to do it right, which got us Kaya and subsequent shit like her.

Seriously, like its EXCLUSIVELY coelurosaurian theropods, and about half of those had proto-feather ostrich fluff, and pigment analysis only found eumelanin and phaeomelanin, found in black and grey feathers and reddish brown to yellow feathers, respectively. Ya know, stuff to help you hide, like most birds.

Though some pterosaurs have pycnofibers, and ceratopsia and heterondotosauridae had filaments. So you could make them have what amounts to light fur.

They aren't. Report instead of complaining.

>>55172513
Not really. Samut is the only recently listed character who had a big role, and she was mostly shunned and rejected by her own society for disbelieving the God-Pharaoh. They could've very easily had a "I told you so!" moment with her once Bolas showed himself, but it was mostly her weeping for her lost culture and friends and viciously striking back at the false gods. She's angry and temperamental, balanced out by a highly empathetic side of her that cares deeply for her close friends. She managed to help Hazoret kill the Scorpion God once and for all, and Hazoret's approval and appreciation of her filled her with such pride and joy that her spark ignited in a moment of emotion. It's her only big accomplishment and set up very well as her finally succeeding at something important after the Trials of the Gods fell away.

Honestly it feels pretty racist to create a setting with Mesoamerican and notfrench, then imply you've removed problematic parts of their history like the imperialism and blood sacrifice.

>>55172595
Samut is an exception to what has been the norm these last few blocks in terms of good female lead characters. Chandra, Liliana and Nissa haven't really had depth since BFZ, and their only challange was fighting Nicol-- Bolas, who basically wiped the floor with them and their boy toys (a shame unto itself; a close defeat written well would have been a better climax).

A lot of early flavor text was attributed to jace that made him seem much more like an edgelord.

>>55173105
/co/ is the same way. I assume its like that for /v/.

I've been here for going on 6 years and seeing the invasion real time was like death of a thousand cuts.

I applied for janitor so many times to deal with this shit but never got in.

I love these communities for the open apreciation and love of art we all enjoy, but these assholes have been ruining it with their culture war bullshit.

Theirs no escape.

>>55171630
Yes i'm sure that 6 mana mass vigilance is very helpful for an aggro deck. Too bad it doesn't mill, you know to diversify threats.

>>55173298
Take the fight to them. At the next rally near your town, come bearing righteous arms and strike them down.

>>55173271
Which we now know was written by people who didn't actually know what Jace's character was like, and just put it on stuff like Counterspell because of the tradition started by Ertai.

>>55172746
If they accurately portrayed an Indian-inspired caste system they'd get SO MUCH SHIT.

>>55173105
Get fucked.
You're just a contributer to white genocide

>>55173549
If only you had a place to cry about it that isn't here.

>>55172302
The pirates are mostly black and a lot are female, so depicting them as doing bad things has the exact same problem as depicting the natives doing bad things. By homogenizing them as a racial group, they've removed the option of making them anything worse than neutral.

>pennaceous feathers
Fucking disgusting, pterosaurs should obviously have fur coats made out of pycnofibers.

>>55173565
Except most of the pirate cards are white? And are very clearly doing very piratey things in cards, like marauding and looting? And the native equivalents may have done some shady shit involving the Immortal Sun to get into power over the merfolk?

>>55173606
Everyone knows the only way to control the sun is with daily blood sacrifice. Someone must still be doing that shit or else the sun wouldn't come up each morning.

>>55173271
You are the first person I've seen who likes Flavor Text Jace (not to be confused with Jace Beleren, who has been a turbonerd in every appearance he's been in since they started writing stories with neowalkers in them back around Alara)

>>55171587
There better not be. Blackula was the worst art in SOI.

>>55171140
At least brown girls are cute unlike negro transmen pretending to be women and egyptian.

>>55173298
>people don't want to see black people and lefty politics everywhere in settings where they don't belong
>this must surely be the invasion of an outside force, not people who were on /tg/ to begin with
Maybe people just have that opinion? Has it ever occurred to you that people who enjoy playing traditional games might be on a different political spectrum than you?

>>55171831
At least she has a reason to be there because you can't planeswalk out of Ixalan. Samut is the worst character ever written in all aspects.

>>55173778
I don't remember what Blackula was actually on. Was it some obscure promo of Markov Dreadknight?

>>55173804
That would be more believable if it weren't for the constant deluge of said commentary on multiple boards.

>>55173886
Maybe the comments are increasing because there's far more to complain about

>>55171899
Kaya killed Brago for MONEY, she's a bitch.
Saheli was so self-important she didn't do shit other than whine at Rashimi for creating something "she didn't understand".
And Huatli might actually be as much of a villain as Vraska. The Sun Empire are expansionist thugs and Jace is with the merfolk.

Only Samut was shit.

>>55173902
It's a plane with Pirates. Those things that historically, were probably one of the few places you could see women and blacks wielding weaponry and fighting in non-zero numbers.

This is the absolute weakest plane of the recent ones to try and complain about it, and yet people are still posting threads whining about how out of the maybe 10 pirate cards we've seen, there's one black lady.

>>55172123
Inca had metal armor, and aztecs didn't use metal for their stuff because obsidian weapons were easier to mass produce. They had gold and bronce jewelry and toys.

>>55173341
Violence is counter intuitive for social change unless done in large numbers and overwhelmingly so.

Compare the Troubles to 9/11.

>>55173926
And I'm still not certain how the constant injection of 'POO IN LOO' and 'WE WUZ KANGZ' added to the conversation in any form in the prior spoiler seasons.

>>55173926
I'm not going to argue about this set because I don't have many problems with it, I just wanted to mention that not everything is some boogeyman /pol/ invasion

>>55173991
Right. Sometimes it's just one-off, well thought out comments about something particular with lore and story direction.

Most of the time though, it's blatant shitposting about

>>55171140
>hurr, why do womyn exist?

As though the existance of a girl riding a dinosaur ruins the entire set, in spite of the fact that literally every set before this has had women in it.

>>55172821
Maybe next time you want to defend leftist shit use an example that isn't considered a con-artist by normies and kickstarter.

>>55173059
>As soon as Gay porn shits up every single thread on /pol/ with shitposting without fail
It does, at least twice a month.

>>55173298
Nigga, /pol/ is 4chan. The board wasn't created because moot didn't want them to exist, it was created because we needed a place to shove all the barely in-topic politics.
If you need a leftard chan, go to eich.

>>55173902
Leftards refuse to believe they're the status quo because it breaks their underdog fantasies.

>>55173926
Three of the most well known pirate women flashed their tits everywhere but we can't get even a bit of cleavage because it'd make the hamplanets WotC is trying to goad feel vindicated.
They just manage to find ways to make things shittier and more sterile than they could be. If Jeremy Jarvis was still the art director instead fo SJW non-artist Dawn Murin and the PR committee, this set would be heavy metal as fuck and attract much more people just by being different from the innofensive crap that surrounds it.

>At least brown girls are cute
Not cuter than the vampires.

>>55174161
>These pirates aren't sexy enough

So make a thread about that instead of posting threads that phrase it like its the existence of women that's the problem, rather than them not being fappable enough.

I don't know about you, but Vraska gets me as hard as a rock

>>55171980
>satire is /pol now
leftists and women really can't into humor

>>55174282
>Implying there's only one person upset about the current state of magic flavor and art direction
I'm not OP and 62 posters with just three SJW shills doesn't really support your worldview.

>>55172256
fuck yeah. SCIENCE is so cool
>mfw we will never see a dinosaur based on the feathered serpent because feathers are SCIENCE now

>>55174348
SJWs don't know happiness, that's why they work so hard to destroy everyone else's.

>>55174360
And three /pol/ shitposters don't really support yours

We still don't need the same exact bait thread complaining about things that are aside from actual complaints day after day.

>>55172834
so? why would anyone want them to?

>>55174401
>Whole thread complaining about varios different aspects fo the set
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it's only three /pol/ posters
Nigga pls.

>>55174255
>pointed ears
Are there elves in the vampire homeland?

>>55174473
Why do you stop being an elf when you become a vampire?

>>55174473
could just be a unique vampire thing native to the plane, like elves having horns in lorwyn.

>>55171436
Wow, you mean facing a hardship he doesn't immediately beat could lead to character growth?

I'm not holding my breath for the Jacetice League to get better written.

>>55174255
This is like the only cute girl in the set, the only reason Huatli probably even gets to be cute is just because of her getting other artists to work on her.

>>55173982
>>55173341
The most exploitable weakness in deplorables is that they overestimate individual forces and underestimate systemic ones. It's inefficient to victimize them personally and generally just makes them mad. If you victimize them from a distance with forces more subtle than can be imagined with a fourth-grade education, they will die in much more significant numbers and not even get mad about it.

>>55175382
That is a really subtle bait there, I really like you you mask which side you're actually on.

>>55172089
>but therapods have nearly always had feathers
You mean the small/medium ones? Trex and most likely all of it's relatives weren't.
