100% Eldrazi! That is what I'm talking about.

love the theme. 1+

Profet93, my thoughts on Thought Vessel is that I already have two free drops that do that effect.

Profet93, I love Sensei's Divining Top and Isochron Scepter. Only reason they aren't a fit is because I play them in another deck. There are many cards that I am okay with playing across multiple decks, but both of those can make your decks feel too similar. Great suggestions. Most of my Territory Control cards are instant speed, so I feel like Defense Grid buts me in a bind. I am also not so much a spell slinger. If you look (don't have to), most of my stuff is attrition or Stax. This is newish to me too... hens asking people to take a look see.

Last_Laugh, super cool!!! thanks man.

Profet93, so many fantastic suggestions. Ad NauseamGC just became my 4th dumpster!!!

I did remove the Pact of Titan card for Cruel Tutor. need to think on the other two. Awesome!

Hey guys, I wanted to reach out to the few people that have actually been very helpful with my builds in recent times. I have been trying to put together a “cute” build for the wife. I tried raccoons, squirls, and angels. Finally, it hit me… a solo dumpster diving raccoon named Teddy, the Great.

I love this build. She is going to love it, too!

But, I want to hone it in. Tighten it up. See the NOTE section to see what type of help I am looking for. You guys have been awesome wicked help with my other builds. Thought you might be willing to help here.

super fan of tribal. automatic 1+

KermitWizard, exactly my take away (no attempt)

Caerwyn would love to see said art. please, do share.

Crow_Umbra, was totally unaware of the digital content IU. Awesome.

capwner, appearance in MtG is over. The amount of Ai flaws found in the Ninja Turtle set was pathetic.

SaberTech, when it comes to sideling "lore", they used to print books that told stories about what was happening IU between each tribe and what Urza was doing among all of that. That is gone forever. Now, we just glean story from looking at the flavor text for the most part.

hyalopterouslemur, it isn't even about a deal falling through. My thought is that creating new cards with new mechanics and stories over time will become watered down by the UB sets, making care creatures lazy. And when it comes to IU sets, over time, due to laziness, the sets will digress downward in quality.

wrightri, no problem.

Hey guys... I feel like my question was misworded, and some of my responses were either misunderstood and or I replied improperly. With that, I started a new thread asking the question in a different way.

I want to know your thoughts in the comments.

I personally think that it is bad for MTG to be partnering with other brands like Star Trek long term. It harms the lore, the overarching game theme, and creates useless mechanics with less cards that utilize them. Gone are the days of story telling within MTG.

At this rate, they might as well make a Pokémon set, muddying the waters of what this card game really is. This is why One Piece is doing so well, other than being something new. You don't see it partnering with Bugs Bunny.

Note: I posted a "change my mind" thread, but I feel that it has been misunderstood along with a few other issues, such as my lack of correct verbiage in the opening post and responses.

So, you tell me... longterm, is UB helping or harming this game. Yes, I use some UB cards. Yes, I play with and have fun with people that play UB. This game is about fun. Despite that, UB to me is harming the brand. How can it be a brand all its own, when it has just become a brand pot.

Crow_Umbra, you are 100% correct on both counts. I guess, despite not properly posting the thread, my thoughts are to seek why people think that these UB sets might help the brand vs harm it.

capwner, same here. I can understand wanting to compete with newer cards games like One Piece that are topping the chart or attempting to bring in younger, newer players... but they are shooting themselves in the foot there, because the new releases are mostly receiving sales from Standard players. And I know a lot of Standard players that are fed up with increased release rates and dumb gimmicks.

I am still waiting on someone to change my mind.

DarkKiridon, i just don't understand why people need to get so heated over it. I actually play a few UB cards because those cards are good. But, I am talking about lore, theme, brand... change my mind of how that is a good thing long term for this card game. It's not. One Piece is the biggest card game right now. Stay true to yourself or fade away. And mtg is fading. I use UB. I play with people that love UB. And in all of it, we have a great time.

However, prove to me that it doesn't suck. Honestly, I am however over it. I don't like hate conversations. And since one got started in this thread, we can just drop the thread.
