>"Cryptic Studios and Perfect World, two companies with plenty of experience making online worlds, are creating a Magic: The Gathering massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG or just MMO)."

>"Wizards of the Coast, which owns the popular card game franchise, announced the project today. It is promising a triple-A game, although it did not offer many details other than that it is coming out for unspecified consoles and PC. Wizards of the Coast said it will reveal more details and the game’s title at a future date."

>"Magic: The Gathering the card game has more than 20 million players. It has its own lore that has developed over its 24 year history featuring Planeswalkers, characters that can travel between different worlds and dimensions. While we’ve seen Magic games before, most of them have been digital versions of the card game like the Duels of the Planeswalkers series and Magic Duels, a free-to-play game available for Xbox One, PC, and iOS"

Kind of hyped here, boys. How about you, /v/?

Makes sense with the world, but man can we get like a really good MTG game?

So is it going to be a TCG like HS or a "regular" MMO set on the same universe?

>>379486637

It will take years to develop, though, no?

Will you be a wizard playing a cardgame magical battle in an mmorpg setting? If so, I am interested, if not, then I don't give a fuck.
>>
>>379486637
It has potential. Lord knows there is more than enough lore to build around. The magic system could be interesting if you have to specialize around one or more colors of mana.

I don't have a clue how it will look like. Ahhhhhh.

There will be no raids. Unless you mean 30 vs 1 card battles.

But nobody wants that, everyone wants it to be like in yugi, you have your own char and you can go around the world(s) and meet other players to fight on the spot through your planeswalkers playing a game of MTG, that's what I'd say most people would like to play.

I guess they figured that because the fanbase was already a bunch of idiots willing to spend massive amounts of money a card game they would be able to easily implement the biggest cash cow scam type of game without having to put in all that much effort.
Hope you're ready for massive p2w that costs hundreds of dollars to even compete and doesn't even get you real world items that could be sold off or put in a collection at a later date.

Dominaria if they want maximum troll.

Safe bet is Ravnica, but the issue with it is that Ravnica has enough content opportunity to last 10 MMOs and 20 years worth of expansions, so that's not a good starting place if you actually want to showcase several planes.

you'll probably jump in between planes as you level up.
I'm thinking something like the current legion levelling, with scaling areas depending on your level, so you can come back and fight the strong stuff later on.
still, it's a horrible idea. great card game, great setting and world, but putting it on an mmo would turn it all to shit

this is clearly implying the game will have nothing to do with cards. is the average age of /v/ 15 years old these days?

Because otherwise it's absolutely pointless and literally nobody will play it.
>>
>>379488807
why would anyone want to play this? the game already exists in the half dozen duels games.

you want a character that you actually control so you have to run around the world looking for someone to duel with? this would be retarded
>>
>>379488797
I played it when it was recently launched so I dont know if this was changed years later but the PVP was pay to win. PVP mode was capture the point mode and people could use their mounts to get to them faster and the fastest mounts were all shop only.
>>
>>379489935

>>379489959

It even says on the official website that it will be an "Action MMO". How would an action mmo work with cards?

I bet it will play like Neverwinter, which is also a action MMO.
>>
>>379489395
Zones will probably be different planes.
>>
>>379490113
MtG has a better setting than any MMO out there, so the idea is solid. It all depends on the execution.
>>
I don't get it, why are WotC so allergic to technology? Are they really so afraid that a good digital MtG game will devour paper sales?
Because paper sales are dropping just fine on their own, without WotC sabotaging them.
>>
>>379490307
Make it play like Phantom Dust?
>>
>>379489374

It might not be pay to win.

Sure STO has a shitton of pay, but they forgot to add any content to win using it.

They killed the Eldrazi by setting them on fire. Because I guess nobody ever tried that before.

Some cards can be mission titles: Crackling Doom is a lightning-based quest to kill elementals.
Others will be mobs: Grizzly Bears, Lightning Elementals, Raging Goblins.
Legendary and Planeswalker cards are NPCs or summons.
Artifacts can be items or equipment.
Instants/Sorceries can be spell or perk icons, with the UI looking like an expensive card binder. Or you can level to juggle up to 4 casts on cooldown.
Some cards can be achievements/trophies.
Power Nine are cashshop items/spells.

To be fair, they justify it somewhat in the actual story.

They set an elaborate trap to hold them, they then pull the eldrazi titans into the physical world fully, which is described to fill the entire sky with churning masses of flesh and then the let them consume Zendikars ley-lines but at the moment the ley-lines are inside of them they ignite them, burning up the physical bodies of the titans while pretty much using up all the mana on Zendikar.

Then afterwards Ugin shows up and tells them that was stupid and the whole multiverse is fucked because of their actions.

Not great, but it's better then "Chandra threw a fireball at them" story that people keep telling.

Magic is about planeswalking between worlds, there are a fuckton of worlds to pick from.
Most likely we'll see the ten Ravnica guilds since Ravnica is the most popular plane, but they probably won't matter that much since you'll be planeswalking all over the place.

If you played those sets and collected more than just "I saw this deck listed online and bought four copies of these specific overpowered cards" you'd see that the flavor text on the cards allude to a big overarching story on Dominaria that took up the better part of a decade of stories before WotC decided to focus on Jace's Wacky Adventures.

>"Dominarian legends speak of a mighty conflict, obscured by the mists of history. Of a conflict between the brothers Urza and Mishra for supremacy on the continent of Terisiare. Of titanic engines that scarred and twisted the very planet. Of a final battle that sank continents and shook the skies.The saga of the Brothers' War."

>>379493192
The players are definitely going to be Planeswalkers, beings from MtG lore that can move between worlds, or "planes". Planeswalkers are incredibly rare. Something like 1 in a million people have the spark to become a planeswalker in them, and out of those potential PWs, 1 in a million actually DO ignite their spark.

So there's not really any Planeswalker factions. They're just too rare. Right now the story is focused on a group of Planeswalkers dubbed "The Gatewatch", but they're just 6 people who decided to deal with the biggest threats in the multiverse before they got out of control, not really a faction of any sort.

It's possible they may create factions around the most powerful Planeswalkers, though. Maybe you'd do the bidding of the cruel dragon Planeswalker Nicol Bolas and reap your own personal gain. Maybe you'd stay neutral and help Ugin unlock the mysteries of the multiverse. Or maybe you'd join up with Karn and try to push back the encroaching evil of the Phyrexians.

There's a lot of potential. MtG's lore is actually really cool, despite the actual writing for most MtG stories being between "kinda okay" and "really, really, really bad".

There's canonically been several planeswalker factions.

The Consortium was pretty much the one exception of an actual functional faction that I'm aware of. Planeswalkers have teamed up before, but the Consortium was the only thing that really resembled some kind of guild.

Even then, it wasn't really a faction, it was more Bolas making people his slaves without them really realizing it. Then Tezz hijacked it and turned it into a somewhat real organization for about 10 minutes and got his brain crushed for it.

If we're talking standard, Glorybringer is amazing against resolved planeswalkers or various other threats. Against planeswalkers you can use the exert effect to kill off a possible flying blocker and attack that resolved Gideon, or point that creature that has a nasty effect (like Lord of the Accursed in the zombies matchup).

I wish WotC would stop doing the thing where they nearly destroy a plane every block. Kaladesh was refreshing because it was just a political conflict.

Mirrodin is gone. Zendikar is basically gone. Probably at least half the people of Innistrad are now piles of mutant flesh. Amonkhet is going to be completely razed into a zombified desert, by the looks of it.

An occasional plane destruction is fine and interesting, but man. It's starting to get old. Despite liking Kaladesh, it actually felt kind of out of place because I was so used to literally the entire world ending in some plane-wide battle. That's starting to become Magic's bread and butter.

By "raced over there", you mean literally waited hundreds of years, went and told Ugin what was happening, and then stopped caring and fucked off back to Innistrad to try to shield it from the Eldrazi so they wouldn't come there after they ate Zendikar.

Sorin doesn't give a shit about anything but himself and his plane, and he paid the price.

>>379496124
She was "dangerous as fuck" because he told her he wasn't going to follow the vows he pledged when sealing the Eldrazi on Zendikar. She was going to beat his ass and drag him back to Zendikar to fix the problem with her. Sealing her away in total isolation forever with only howling demon souls to keep her company is not an appropriate response.

He deserved to lose everything.
>>
>>379496552

Nope. It's going to be trash. At least urza and the bunch acted like gods rather then highschool teens.They almost had somthing with the other MMO where it was similar to early might and Magic combat, but of course the Jews made it a cash grab.

If he REALLY upheld his end of the bargain, when Ugin told him they needed Nahiri to reseal the Eldrazi, he would've let her out.

But he didn't. He said "fuck that plane and all its people, the Eldrazi can go free, I just gotta make sure my plane isn't on their menu".

He gave a token effort hundreds of years after he knew the problem started. He did the immortal equivalent of seeing a fire start in the kitchen, lazing about until it consumed the entire house, and then finally sighing and throwing a cup of water at it and shrugging when it didn't work.

Nahiri: As if I could forget. Listen, Sorin, there's something about the plane you should know. Oh no. It's too late. These people have all been eldrazi'd. They may look fine now, but it's a matter of time before they turn into the blobs.
Sorin: What?
Nahiri: This entire plane must be purged.
Sorin: How can you even consider that? There's got to be some other way

Nahiri: Damn it, Sorin. As your future queen, I order you to purge this plane.
Sorin: You are not my queen yet, kor. Nor would I obey that command if you were!
Nahiri: Then I must consider this an act of treason.
Sorin: Treason? Have you lost your mind, Nahiri?

Nahiri: Have I? Lord Sorin, by my right of succession and sovereignity of my crown, I hereby freeze you in carbonite and suspend your vampires from service.
Jace: Nahiri, you can't just...
Nahiri: It's done! Those of you who have the will to save this plane, follow me. The rest of you... get out of my sight.

For mono-red it's usually too slow, he had a place in green/red though, where green can ramp up and pull him out for a one-big-swing kill.
At least that's how I remember him when he was standard, I doubt he has a place in any of the extended formats.

There's a dedicated green/red card for it now, comes with flash as well and has double strike so you can throw it out at the end of your opponents turn and then combo.
>>
>>379497563
The problem is they have a limited amount of double-faced cards they can print per set, and Meld cards each consume 2. We only got 3 melds, but they took the place of 6 other flip cards.

I think if they ever bring it back, it'll have to be the focal point of the whole set to really get any more than two or three cards.

In regular decks, it's pretty slow for red. R/G would like it though if you could ramp it or cheat it out early. But if you build around it you may find yourself disappointed.

It's been a while. Wasn't he the worst preator? Blue countered first spell I think? Green fucked mana, black had a crazy sacrifice engine, and elsh norn was just fucking bonkers. A permanent sweeper.

Really red was weak compared. It did not protect itself, it did not change board state, and only worked against other creature decks.

It's a concept that's important for PvP, but in reality it never really works.

Even WoW the factions are just senseless dickwaving competitions that end up tipping the PvP balance one way or the other server to server.

You just got to have the right answer.
>>
>>379500213
Ah yes, just be sure to always sit on 4 mana just in case your opponent pops out a glorybringer next turn. Otherwise you'll take 4-8 damage and trade a card just for removing it which is a horrible trade.

>>379486637
Never played and only know the bare minimum about Magic: The Gathering, but seems like it could turn out cool.

If nothing else that card just demonstrates how broken Glorybringer is, because Glorybringer basically does the same thing but is also a 4/4 with haste, for only 1 mana more, and the damage can occur several times.

Yes, rares are very good in Limited anon. That's why they balance the stronger cards to appear in lower rates... based on rarity. Please don't complain about Glorybringer when we've had to deal with cards like the Titan/Siege cycles in Limited before. And for the purposes of Constructed, we need for some cards to be stronger than others, lest we sit around trading Grey Ogres forever.

They aren't tanking per say, but the sales have been stagnant to on the down side for over a year now.

As this anon is saying: >>379494601

They seem to be going towards games workshop model of milking the aging fanbase they already have instead of trying to improve their products to make new players.

Product oversaturation, the jacetice league push, underwhelming new "2 set block" format, taking away the core sets, pushing for more standard events when modern is the format their fanbase actually cares about.

standard is too expensive and boring for normies

modern is way too expensive for normies

legacy is unbelievably too expensive for normies

that basically just leaves various draft & sealed formats and commander

commander actually focuses on what makes magic fun, which is casting cool spells and attacking with awesome creatures, and it's also the cheapest format by far, and the FFA gameplay allows even weaker decks/players to win sometimes

Yeah, but the issue for WotC is. That popularity isn't spread enough.

There are lots of players that play commander and support the format, but the vast majority of the casuals WON'T get into it, since WotC pushes standard much more and Commander doesn't encourage players to buy boosters, which is WotC's main product.

They'll push draft and sealed to hell's end, even though people only play said format in store tournaments or during pre-release.

...other than Eldrazi just wiping Phyrexians out? Assimilation takes time, and Eldrazi are extremely powerful, senseless, and aware of what is an enemy and what isn't.

There was literally a span of 3 minutes where it was open and the black myojin threw toshiro out to spread her word (his decendant, umiawa, kicked bolas in the dick).
Being a good if trickery, the blue myojin probably tossed a moonfolk out as well.

But she's the only hint of kamigawa. Who knows, maybe they wI'll revisit it and make it as mechanicaly good as it's fluff. Shame it was an aweful set.

Meanwhile, those same Eldrazi got their asses handed to them by the fucking superbestfriends while the Phyrexians have been stomping the shit out of everything.

So how the fuck do you figure the eldrazi would somehow be "wiping phyrexians out"?

Because "the fucking superbestfriends" were four Planeswalkers being helped by the entirety of a plane which is a rolling ball of mana, so much so that the literal ground below was fighting against the Phyrexians. Trees, birds, baloths, everything in Zendikar made Eldrazi intrusion extremely painful, and every single civilized faction in Zendikar united to obliterate Eldrazi presence everywhere, in addition to the entirety of the Gatewalkers fighting in unison against them.

Phyrexians in New Phyrexia had the literal opposite happen to them. They landed in a plane where most of the atmosphere and the majority of flora, as well as the simple soil, were metal, and the Glistening Oil could spread its influence throughout virtually all organic life with ease, especially thanks to the giant civil war being started thanks to Memnarch trying to reunite with his daddy. The taxed Mirrans were surprised by Phyrexians, and when they literally turned the metal plane against the denizens of the plane, they had nowhere to possibly run, and eventually Praetors started showing up. Five primary leaders, and numerous smaller leaders, then legions of soldiers who were being mass-produced thanks to the resources on Mirrodin itself, and lastly the fact that there were only two Planeswalkers to help the Mirrans. The circumstances were completely different. It's like questioning why Emrakul managed to annhilate Innistrad, but TWO Eldrazi couldn't even defeat one plane.

If we're talking current strength Phyrexians versus current strength Eldrazi, the Phyrexians would win, because all three of the titans are gone and none of their spawn exist anymore. I'm talking about them in force at fighting strength respectively.

> how exactly would introducing Phyrexians to Zendikar not end with Phyrexianized everything?
Nowhere near enough machinery or metal to warp the entire plane into their image. I don't think you understand what Mirrodin is. Protip: There's a lot of metal in the everything.

They were pretty clear on what Emrakul is supposed to be doing. She got upset because Innistrad was ripping itself apart instead of blossoming into a huge Eldrazi flower like she thought it would. Random wildlife either turned into vicious killers or would just outright die at her being near it. Hell, she was trying to interface with things to try and stop them from destroying each other, but her presence was so destructive that she had to find a Planeswalker to do it, and her simply being near them was driving legions of mutants to attack everything that might harm Emrakul or stop the process.
>>
>>379504251

Maybe Ugin knew.
Maybe the Eldrazi are a weapon he made in order to combat extra-planar threats?
He seems awfully concerned with their welfare after all.

It mentioned something about the time not being right or whatever and I guess it just decided to wait it until it was.

"Rarity is supposed to be an indicator of complexity, not raw power level.
The rarity=power thing is what keeps the barrier of entry into constructed so high."

That's not true; Limited is balanced around the power levels of cards as they relate to rarity - i.e. they can't print Archfiend of Ifnir as a common because it will ruin too many games and force everyone to try to cut black as their primary color, but it's okay for it to show up once in a while as a rare because that's both a reward for being in those colors AND is a driving force of buying/opening packs (for Constructed purposes). ALSO, there have historically been plenty of cheap decks that have overcome individual card power levels with synergy, i.e. decks like
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/664395#paper
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/standard-red-green-pummeler#paper

Magic is not a "pay to win" game. You guys are just trash.

"when draft can be boiled down to who opened the glorybringer, that is an issue."

If you're at parity when it comes down, you might lose a game to Glorybringer. The same could be said of many of the rares/mythics in Amonkhet, or any other draft format. But the statistical odds of seeing one particular card out of 40 is very low. Draft a good deck. Quit fucking complaining. This is a fundamental difference between pros and scrubs - instead of whining about how unfair shit is, good players simply continue to figure out how to win within the confines they're placed in.

Anyways, just some food for thought. Ya'll crybabies can continue to thrash and whine about the cards - I'll keep beating you and taking your packs on MTGO/paper.

A running theory is that the eldrazi are plane recyclers.

Ulamog for organics, Kozilek for non-organics, Emerakul finishes it up by re-seeding the plane with life.

I kind of liked the idea of the Eldrazi being beyond ancient planeswalkers.
That given enough time walkers just devolve into these massively powerful beings that does nothing but lust for mana.

If you don't understand the difference between Glorybringer and Glyph Keeper I cannot help you.

Both are 5 mana.

Glory bringer can immediately swing, while then giving you a free removal (equivalent to 4mana electrify) which could remove basically any target its worried about.


Sure Glorybringer is much harder to take out via spells, but power 3 flyers are really fucking abundant, which is a major weakness for Glyphkeeper.

No anon you are the retard, the glorybringer is strong but it's not means out of control, especially in a limited environment the glyphkeep is much harder to remove as only blue has flyers that can scratch it on top of the fact that he also comes back for only 2 more mana making it always at the very least a 2x1 trade and in the worse case scenarios a 3 or 4x1 trade.

They're extremely different but they're both great. Glorybringer is a top end card for an aggro or midrange deck but Glyph Keeper is a threat for tap out control.

I only played Magic for a year or so about.. 15 years ago but hell I'd dive right into a Magic MMO. Hell just when I thought the MMO genre was dead and there wasn't another lore universe capable of supporting one this happens, I'm pleasantly surprised.

When it comes to potential worlds to make a MMO out of Magic has to be one of the biggest out there, for the longest time I didn't think that anything could have more potential content than Star Wars but Magic just might.

/tg/ reporting in

If you're playing modern or legacy, then no

But modern is shit right now and Legacy costs infinite money. Standard rotates once every year, with a year's worth of cards rotating out. Cards in standard last about two years after being printed and made legal.

Magic has been super fucked lately, and Wizards is basically freaking the fuck out trying to fix it, with most things they do just backfiring harder. Things in standard have mostly went to shit ever since they tried to reach a wider audience, which basically ended up actually driving everyone away.

Hopefully they get their shit together soon, there are signs that they're definitely working on it. For now I'd just do what >>379516770
says and find a nice EDH playgroup. Not every standard meta lets you play all the cool shiny new rares, which is what a lot of the draw is to playing EDH It's for fucking casuals though

Depends on what the local scene looks like. A lot of the fun of magic comes from the social aspect and actually owning a physical deck to be proud of.

I'd check out your local game shops and see how many players they get and what formats are preferred in your area. My town is dead during the summer and currently people only ever want to play modern. If the local scene is shit then just play online, otherwise I recommend just playing paper

Some shops are cursed with the closed-off smelly awkward nerd cliques as their playerbase, others have really great communities with really nice people

If leonin aren't a playable race then it's shit.

you'd have to open the packs to get the codes...

and there's no way the code would include the same exact cards as the real pack

IT's strong, but the New Mirrodin arc came with hard counters like >>379493807

Boros is a tsundere angel

Tsundere Angel > everything else

They'd never do that though, because Wizards gives literal zero shits about their players

Well you also need the card Bonds of Mortality. That's where they get pulled into reality. Fall of the Titans doesn't actually kill the titans if you don't take away their indestructibility first.

>Name one Walker that's ever made a good decision.

Venser

>By the time Venser reached Karn in the core of Mirrodin it was already too late. Melira cleansed the golem's body of the Phyrexian taint but she couldn't cleanse the golem's heart. Knowing his own life would soon be forfeit due to his increasing phthisis symptoms, Venser made the ultimate sacrifice. With his last remaining mana he gave his life and spark to Karn. Moments later Karn was released from the Phyrexian tyranny and mourned the loss of his friend briefly before turning to battle the Phyrexians, stating 'he still has a lot of work ahead of him'.

I played some Neverwinter, it was fun, even if im not super into MMORPG.
So a Magic the gathering theme one could be cool.
At least could be a quality game... unless hasbro/wizard of the coast do something stupid.

>Shitton of potential for an MMO
>Considering how jewish they price they stuff they're probably sleeping on a piles of money
>The game will most likely be just a generic fantasy MMO, all interesting aspects ignored
>You will be only able to play as humans or even if they do add multiple playable races they will all be similar looking humanoids with at most only differences being some shitty "5% more resistance against something" passives instead of actually trying to give them something unique
>All abilities will be just "deal X damage" for that mindless grind instead of trying to actually add something interesting
>They chose shittiest possible company to make it
>Also developed for consoles meaning it will be extremaly simplified beacuse consoles can't have unlimited number of abilities at once
Why can't something nice happen for a change? At least fucking once.
Magic MMO could revive the genre but instead they just chose to make another copy of modern MMOs instead of trying to understand what made MMOs good years ago.

>>379486637
literally who the MMO

exactly who is going to play this? Nobody knows what MTG is, and the mmo crowd will play it for about a month and then flock back to their mmo of choice. MMO players are a very fickle bunch.

I don't think so.

Thrall wasn't in the orc's starting zone.
