Did Tumblr know magic: the Gathering has a buff ogre woman who does time magic through brute force? And has some of the most unique effects in the game? I feel like that's something Tumblr would appreciate.

Magic: The Gathering deck whose theme is maximising the number of smug anime girls present in the illustrations while still having something resembling a coherent game plan.

So uh, if you want to know what Wizards of the Coast is up to, they allegedly sent the Pinkertons (a private security guard, which is a fancy way to say for-hire thugs) to the person who leaked a Magic: The Gathering set. Who wasn't under a NDA or anything (not that it'd justify said measures).
The Pinkertons went to his home, threatened to put him in jail, seized a bunch of his stuff and made his wife cry.

Anyways, uh, I wonder if there's still gonna be bootlickers trying to defend WOTC on this?
(Reblogs for awareness are appreciated!)

Feldon of the Third Path is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of storytelling in Magic: The Gathering.
Tumblr media
Every part of this card comes together to tell you Feldon's story without ever overtly saying anything.
The art depicts him as a sturdy man, used to labor, and the workshop around him supports that. His hair is dark, but his beard is gray. He's getting older, but there's life in him yet. He gazes intensely at at the machined face of an automaton's head.
His ability doesn't do anything so gauche as bringing a card back from the graveyard. No, he targets a card in the graveyard -- someone, something that has died -- and and creates a copy, a facsimile, that's an artifact in addition to whatever it was before. But his creation is imperfect. It doesn't last. At the end of the turn, you sacrifice the copy. Greater magics than what Feldon posseses are required to make it stay more than a moment.
And then the flavor text. "She will come back to me." Powerful. Defiant. Sorrowful. Broken? Who can say, we haven't heard Feldon himself speak the words. But he lost someone, and he is determined, driven to bring her back the only way he knows how.
We're never told what the first two paths are, even if we can assume, but Feldon very clearly indicates what the Third Path is.

My husband made a Dungeon Meshi-themed Magic the Gathering deck, and I had the honor of making him a custom card for his commander (a reskinned Korvold, Fae-Cursed King)

Say what you want about MTG, but you really gotta give the story and lore teams credit for some GREAT stuff. A whole trailer makes you REALLY care about two gingerbread cookies just trying to survive while a battle rages around them

And then the lady SURVIVES the boiling liquid only to see the boy cookie getting eaten and goes absolutely FERAL and decides to fight one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse

Pictured above: Her grabbing a fucking fork to stab the planeswalker who ate her boyfriend RIGHT in the eye, a planeswalker known for being brutal and aggressive

Memes about collectible card games tend to treat Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gu-Oh! as basically interchangeable, but the truth is that each of them is fucked up in completely different ways. In brief:
Magic: The Gathering –
Official rulebook that's about nine hundred pages long
Timing and priority framework with roughly a billion different steps and sub-phases that tries to account for every edge case and technicality like a video game developer trying to stop speedrunners from clipping out of bounds
Authoritative card text resides in a massive centralised database which receives constant updates and errata, such that what's officially printed on a card may bear no particular resemblance to what's physically printed on it
So densely keyworded that a single symbol in a card's text may expand to several paragraphs of rules
Yi-Gi-Oh! TCG –
Judges' rulings in major tournaments create binding precedent which is not subsequently incorporated into the rules, creating situations where fully understanding what a card does may require a knowledge of its complete history of use in tournament play
Multiple mutually incompatible priority, timing and targeting frameworks, such that which framework is used may vary not only from card to card, but among different effects of the same card, determined by differences as small as the placement of one word
Legacy cards may receive permission to resolve their effects according to what the rules were at the time of their printing
See the difference?
