They completely cut out retailers that keep the game thriving and instead just want your money directly for cards that would previously be parts of collections like From the Vault -- which you could buy locally. Quality issues abound now, especially with foils, and many of their "drops" have atrocious EV and even more atrocious art. I'm all for art experimentation, but I do want my Magic cards to look like, well, Magic cards. All the time and development they invest on this crap would be better served on making cooler art for the normal releases, or at least not burning reprint equity on this. Don't buy Secret Lairs. Don't give WotC your money. They don't need your money. Local game stores need your money. GANON1025 posted... Brian Kibler 80/100 Cool dude as far as I know. Met him once before I knew he was a legend, super chill guy. I think he was glad to have a Magic player not know who he was for once. It's too bad he stopped playing in favor of Hearthstone and even too-er badd-er he ended up as part of the 30th anni fiasco, but I'm not going to hold it against him too much... even if I probably should. Ah well. Bitto posted... Timmy, Johnny, and Spike 75/100 These psychographics are really useful from a game design perspective, but like anything resembling pop psychology, they end up being labels players attach to themselves without any nuance nor context. We all have some level of each of these in us, and it can fluctuate day-to-day and format-to-format. Identifying yourself or someone else as a single one of them (especially Spike since it almost always gets used with negative connotation) misses the point. DireKrow posted... Niv-Mizzet 100/100. Is he executed perfectly? Absolutely not. I don't care. Niv is one of the coolest ever takes on an ancient badass dragon. He also has probably the most pants-shittingly terrifying statblock in D&D 5e. --- E come vivo? Vivo! <cite>trdl23 posted [p:978974373] in Trdl rates...
