my opinions on proxying magic cards (and TCG cards more generally) are exactly the same as my opinions on UBI. either you want there to be penalties of some kind for being poor, or you want everyone to have equal access. there is no in between

#i was reading this thread on r/magictcg and it was pissing me off so much #people were saying that they were in favor of game stores banning the use of proxied cards #like not the sale but just people playing with the cards #like bitch im in college. i cannot afford to spend even $100 (on the low side tbh) to buy all of the cards for a 100-card deck #like r u kidding me #its a card game. its not that serious. and it was never that serious.#mtg

there are two MTG subreddits, r/mtg and r/magictcg. the latter is the "official" one and is where most discussion of the game happens. r/mtg is somehow still around based on the strength of its url alone despite almost all of its posts coming from extremely new players asking basic EDH rules questions or if the card they just pulled is worth anything. like, no joke, there are at least three posts per day asking if two replacement effects go infinite with each other (no, Peregrin Took + Academy Manufactor does not go infinite any more than two Doubling Seasons would)

i got downvoted when I posted this to r/magictcg despite it being obviously right and everyone else also complaining about the story, so now I post it here, how they should have used urabrask to fix the story of March of the Machine

Now that we know how Phyrexia falls (Elesh Norn is the source of all the oil's power and without her it all kinda turns off) and what the Battle cards are (a whole series of planes heroically fighting off Phyrexian invasion) and what Urabrask did (not die but accomplish fuck-all) it's become really obvious that they could have done a LOT to fix this story, while maintaining almost all of the same beats, if they'd used Urabrask better.

Step 1: You cannot tell us at the last minute "oh yeah, the Oil is all running on Elesh Norn's power so when she dies it will turn off." We have to know enough ahead of time so that when it happens, we can go "ahhhh, I get it!" In order to not be a last second ass pull we need hints way earlier, which can help us in a lot of other ways. Show her gloating about how the Oil is synonymous with her will, how she focuses her power and mind into it to make it so incredibly powerful and infectious. Make it sound like "she is gloating about how All will be One through her but ohhhh actually it was her weakness too."

Step 2: use this to explain some rules about how the Oil works enough that we can understand fighting it. I have said many times that the Oil was too powerful and omni-infectious that a battle with the Phyrexians cannot follow rules, and I stand by that. Only maybe one or two of these Battle cards should show the planes repelling Phyrexia's invasion because the oil is so preposterously overpowered. It converts goddamn near anyone into a Phyrexian goddamn near instantly. If you touch the stuff, now you're one of them, immediately, and you can just go rubbing it on everyone else. Most of the characters we see depicted fighting the Phyrexians are having cool fantasy battle scenes, but those things shouldn't work and should immediately result in those characters being compleated based on how the oil works.

You can fix this when you make it explicit that the oil is so juiced up because of how much power Elesh Norn is pumping into it. The super-infectiousness is not a trait of the oil itself, it's a trait that Norn is empowering. All Will Be One and the oil is her will and, importantly, her focus. When fights break out in all these planes, we can then understand how those planes win: Elesh Norn's focus is split too many ways and the oil isn't as powerful on each battlefield. Her heralds or evangels or whatever are juicing it up on their own, but it's not nearly the same stuff. Now it makes sense why they can't mass-Compleat everyone in Ravnica instantly, they're split too many ways instead of pumping up one front.

Step 3: People have noted that invading all the planes at once was a bad idea for Norn, and it does appear to have been. It would have been an even worse idea if it was made clear that splitting her focus makes her less powerful. Why do that? This is where Urabrask comes in. Norn's original plan ISN'T to conquer the entire multiverse at once. She only plans to attack one plane, either Dominaria or Kamigawa, totally convert it, then with two planes worth of Phyrexia, take on two more planes, etc etc etc. She will be a slow and inexorable force that inevitably devours the multiverse.

But Urabrask, see, he's been in contact with the resistance because he's so rebellious, oh he's a renegade, and he comes back to Norn and says "Here, I tricked Tezzeret and the resistance and whoever else was appropriate to get this for you: some secret piece of information or technology or magic that will let you absolutely open the floodgates on the multiverse. They want to destroy us, and even though I hate you personally I don't want to see Phyrexia destroyed, so you have to think bigger. Way bigger. The only way to be sure nobody is going to try and rise us against you is to bum-rush the entire multiverse before anyone's prepared." Urabrask betrays the good guys! Oh no! We probably saw some characters put some kind of trust in him and he threw it back in their faces and now it's his fault the entire multiverse is under attack, that jerk!

Step 4: Norn invades the entire multiverse at once, starting the March of the Machine. Things look bad, casualties are mounting, cities are falling, but what's this? They're starting to fight back? They're showing off their own character and history in how they fight for their homes in their own unique ways? The Phyrexians are being held back? The Phyrexians are losing? Of course they are, that was what Urabrask was all about. He despises Elesh Norn and wants her to fail and then die. He also wants people to willingly accept phyresis. Despite being a cool bro, he is also a fundamentally alien monster with no sense of morality. Urabrask goaded Elesh into getting overconfident and haughty (a flaw white has) by playing on her emotions (a thing red is good at) and biting off way more than she could chew, because Norn's White ideology is about unity and cohesion and subsuming the individual into the whole while Urabrask's Red ideology is about freedom and individuality; his plan to fuck up Norn's forces by overcommitting shows us validation of his worldview because these planes are defending themselves to preserve their own identities and all these individual people doing things for their own reasons and own passions and own values can't be overcome by a singular will.

Then, of course, Norn finds this out and has his limbs chopped off and gets to establish she is still a threat by saying "I don't have to rush the multiverse any more, the taint of the Oil is still unstoppable and I have nothing but patience. We can slowly and inexorably grind them out on every world, as if we were a Death and Taxes monowhite strategy, they still can't fight us back and now there's far too many fronts open for them to deal with. At most, you delayed the inevitable because you're an impulsive idiot." This establishes that Norn is still a huge fucking multiversal threat that needs serious power to deal with, like Elspeth and Teferi. Urabrask doesn't solve the problem, his actions explain why the problem is in a position to be solved and set up the justification for how it happens.

After Norn's death, Urabrask has exactly what he wanted: he wants compleation as a step to personal perfection and self-realization that isn't forced on anyone. So the fact that just about every plane now has a huge puddle of Phyrexian oil that you can use but won't actively infect anyone is a huge win for him! The fact that trillions of people died in this war and he's leaving superweapons laying around for people to pick up and use on each other is completely inconsequential to him, because he's not a hero and he is a fundamentally alien mind.

This would be actually using the character they set up to do something with, it would show off the character traits of everyone and reflect their color philosophy, it would not require a significant change to the story outline and would not make him the star but a supporting character, and when we found out that everyone is saved when Norn dies it won't be a super convenient coincidence out of nowhere, it was information a character used to accomplish their goal. Urabrask could have died after this and we'd all be real happy with how it turned out.

Why am I the first one to think of this? The pieces are really, really obvious to assemble.

The Top 10 cards that share their name with a Precon based on how well they’d work in that Precon. Intro Pack edition.

After the success of my Theme Deck post – I posted it to /r/MagicTCG and got some real good feedback and heaps of page views – it was clear I’d have to do a follow up. I found it real fun to write up, too, so that’s probably part of it as well. Clearly the obvious sequel was to move onto the Intro Pack era of the game: Shards of Alara through to Eldritch Moon. That is 2008 to 2016 for anyone who…
