![]() Tibalt, Wicked Tormentor or the new Garruk seems very fun cards to use, and the idea of a pseudo-extra deck to use seems a very nice idea for casual play. Then write the cards in a piece of paper and roll a D20 (reroll if exceed) to see what you were going to get. With a very little tweak instead of conjuring the cards, they could just create a token thats a copy of them exactly like Garth One-Eye and that would resolve all of issues. Quote from Evil Never Dies ✺ll those "Spellbook" mechanic cards could have been perfectly made in Black Border. But even then it's weird because certain cards could be altered while others couldn't, etc., etc., so I think the way they're doing it still makes the most sense even though I don't like it. I think the new (not altered) cards should be available in Historic but for existing cards either the original printing should remain or the card should stay banned. I also think having a separate Alchemy Historic would be too much. ![]() Most of the cards are fine as they are in Historic-they don't need to be altered. I DO give people more credit and believe they won't be hopelessly confused between two clearly marked products (same name/art be damned). I DO think purposefully handicapping the digital version of the game just so it can be identical to the paper version would be lighting money on fire. I don't think the proliferation of online stuff will kill paper MtG because they make SO MUCH MONEY on the collectible aspects of the game, so I don't think the fact that they can now "fix it in post" means they'll devote less time to designing cards that will be printed (I think the design philosophy is the problem right now, not actually the designers or playtesters, and that's a whole other thing anyway). I think the digital-only mechanics are awesome, and I think buffs/nerfs instead of outright bans is a great idea. Now that this has been out a bit and I've had a chance to think about stuff-I still think this is a great idea, but I do have a few issues with implementation. So I'm not a new player, I prefer paper, BUT. That said, I cut WotC a lot of slack because, holy crap, I'm still playing this game 12 years later and have no desire to stop any time soon, despite a lot of the current problems. But yeah, that's my two cents.ĭisclaimer: I haven't played as long as some of you, but I've still been playing around 12 years and will ALWAYS prefer to play in person over Arena or MtGO. How do I flip it back without giving my opponent information because I forgot what the front side says" and if you accidentally shuffle a clear-backed sleeve into your deck it kinda stands out so easier to correct that issue as well. It even works in your favor because you don't have to remember to flip cards back each game, don't run into an issue of "Oh crap. It's much easier, less wear and tear on the card, less wear and tear on my fingers (hate getting that little "chip" in my skin that's annoying/painful from sleeving and desleeving) and honestly so much more satisfying to flip the card over than to pull a card out and reverse it. It's honestly how *I* choose to play my DFC. ![]() You do know that there are Checklist/Proxy cards in almost every pack in a set with DFC right? There are also clear sleeves in most brands and penny sleeves if you are desperate. A better game will have the window to succeed and draw the critical number of players from magic. When that happens - the everquest/wow myspace/facebook switch will happen. When magic exists as a digital game - they will lose the enfranchisement of the players. The recent flood of dfc has already made me unhappy enough - literally the only workaround I have for playing these cards in physical magic is to have a second copy of each flip card so I am not constantly fumbling with pulling the cards out of sleeves to flip them.Īt the current trajectory of abandoning physical magic for digital - they will eventually run into the situation where the illusion of digital magic is just to play the game when physical isn't available will end. Quote from Tormented »It is sad that they create a digital toolbox and then use that to create cards that could have been done in a paper-friendly way.
