ok dni if you’ve never felt sad on your birthday, regularly work out, got a phone before age 12, like the taste of plain raw avocado, are under 5 feet tall, are over 6 feet tall, wear more than like one piece of jewelry at a time, have never messed up your eyebrows, say ‘hey girlie’ to your friends unironically, like hot sauce, text with proper punctuation and/or capitalization, wear shorts when it’s freezing out, have never learned or studied a language other than your native one, believe in astrology, generally get along with both of your parents, or have never had to share a room

[magicthecasual]

hmm, Somehow I’m only one of these things, and its imo the least polarizing one...

[magicthecasual]

Confession. I was frustrated about not getting notes on my animations/animatics/sketches despite trying, so I decided to do a little experiment. People from “high-end” animation schools get clout in some way, shape, or form, whether good or bad. So I put that I went to CalArts in my bio. Almost a week later, almost all my shit is doing numbers. However. There’s a small problem. People who are ACTUALLY at CalArts are messaging me trying to connect and asking questions - and I’ve been bluffing but, honestly, don’t think I can keep this up for much longer. Idk what to do 🤷‍♂️

Start messaging them back telling rhem you know that they plagiarized their percy jackson fan character designs and you're contacting the board of academics to have them expelled

[magicthecasual]

Message them back telling them that you know they stole your Dream Journal and your contacting the Principal to have them Expelled

Ultimately a lot of horror involves taking something familiar and/or pleasant (normal looking guys, childhood, hot women) and twisting sick perversions of it (what if it wanted to kill you and maim you and hurt you so bad) & it's that juxtaposition that really shocks people

Just found a new example: the beach boys unfinished unreleased 50 hour long album "smile" it's. You're just gonna have to listen to this here's a sample of it

Will 2021 Q1-Q4 releases be announced the same way as this years release? I really liked when you had something to look forward too

I’m not sure how we’re doing it. Would you like us to do the same thing - announce a year’s worth at once?

[magicthecasual]

Yes! it helps me plan my mtg budget a year in advance!!!

"I surprised how much megamorph was hated. It’s a fine tweak on morph that plays well." I think this happened because of the expectation that how different manifest is from morph created on the morph variant for the last set of the block.

I understand why it wasn’t liked. I did not expect it to be the lowest ranked mechanic of all time.

[magicthecasual]

Lower than banding??

[markrosewater]

Hey Mark. I know a return to Lorwyn is unlikely, but can we get some more flavor stuff from the plane? We've had some mechanical references, but many of them are clearly not flavored as Lorwyn. The last legendary creature from Lorwyn came out in Magic Origins and the plane doesn't even have a planeswalker. To compare, Kamigawa has had multiple new legendary creatures and multiple printings of Tamiyo. The closest thing I could find were the elemental kin from M20, but I don't know if they count.

I’ll pass along the request.

[magicthecasual]

Isnt Morophon from Lorwyn? i was under the assumption  that most Changelings were from Lorwyn

[markrosewater]

Mark, people seem very worried about the power level of recent sets in comparison with previous times. Is Wizards acknowledging this and making an effort to tone down future sets on this regard?

About a year ago, we made a conscious effort to raise up the power level of current sets as it had drifted downwards for a number of years (and players had complained about it). It’s not currently higher than it’s been at past times of Magic’s life.

So, I guess I’ll ask, what is all your opinion of Magic’s current power level for Standard-legal sets? Is it:

a) too low - you’d like to see us make Standard-legal sets more powerful

b) just right - you’d like to see us keep Standard-legal sets at the power level they currently are

c) too high - you’d like to see us make Standard-legal sets less powerful

Choose a), b), or c) and explain why.

[magicthecasual]

c) the power level is too high. I m broke, i cant afford the need, the desire to keep acquiring new cards!

[markrosewater]

Is there a reason Narset was chosen for the third planeswalker on Ikoria rather then Huatli who would love the Dinosaurs of the world?

Yes, we wanted a wedge Planeswalker, of a color combination we hadn’t done yet.

[magicthecasual]

We could have gotten Naya huatli

[markrosewater]

Is there going to be some workaround that lets Lukka bring his monster with him when he planeswalks?

I don’t believe so.

[magicthecasual]

He's probably just gonna stay/ come back often. It's just like going off to college and leaving the family pet

[markrosewater]

Mark, I recently answered a poll on your twitter that I did NOT like the Godzilla crossover. I want to let you know that I love the idea of Magic crossing over with pop culture, I'm just not a fan when the crossover is about nuclear disaster monsters, space invasions, and other modern elements. I look forward to the day when magic crosses over with other fantasy related IPs!

Just curious, do others feel Godzilla and friends aren’t fantasy enough?

[magicthecasual]

I think it's perfect!!

[markrosewater]

How is Mutate’s popularity looking so far? I adore it, but know its complicated to some.

What do you all think of Mutate?

[magicthecasual]

I love it so much! I can't wait to make a mutate edh deck with Surgeon Commander!

[vorthosjay]

A Wall planeswalker

That would... be interesting.

[magicthecasual]

Hey! Where'd that wall come from?

[markrosewater]

Is affinity for poison counters in Ikoria?

I’m offended you even had to ask.

[magicthecasual]

Ngl affinity for poison counters doesn't sound like too bad a design space to play into
