Mic is picking up a little bit of static. Noticed it at 17:14
Purp's audio quality going the way of the Magic card
Omg I thought it was my headphones I was like wtf is going on
And here I thought it was my phones Bluetooth 😂
I thought my phone speaker was dying.
Just as designed. Guess the quality that’s just how they are now
Literally
Just wait until they bring back hand drawn art and they make that the special slot.
Doesn't the goblin wizard zombie card have traditional art?
Sound issues start around the 9 min mark
It sounds like a mic setting slipped.
Kinda works given how it starts when he’s talking about gritty, poor quality cards…
I work in the printing industry, since COVID we have been having lots of issues with our paper stock being stock, AND our ink quality has turn to complete shit. Also our machines are falling apart and replacement parts just aren't available.
Secret Lairs are failing? What did they expect by filling them with cards that are barely worth anything?
They'd still sell if they had playable cat art... Or if they lean into anime art for waifu characters.
Yu-Gi-Oh knows waifus sell even garbage sets.
@@almisami Yeah, that is fair. Depending on the art style, if there were cat secret lairs for cards in my Arahbo deck, I'd definitely buy them 👀
it's funny they sell the lands secret lairs but the best ever looking lands come in the bundles now (especially those oil slick lands, everyone I meet says they are amazing)
so i take it you are not excited for "secret lair: common commons "
@@nicholasvogel9783 I would be all over some of the land ones if they actually gave you a decent number of lands
I'll be proxying every goblin from now on. I love their big shnozes. They're goofy little dudes
My nose so big I can put a doingodoing in my left nostril and I agree
I loved the old goblins. Sorry if someone is offended unnecessarily by everything.
I thought goblins were supposed to look different depending on their home plane. I'd only dislike this change if "small noses" is the design of all goblins going forward.
On the bit of Goblin noses,
It's probably about avoiding antisemitic association.
Would tie in with their banning of cards for similar reasons.
They certainly hate seeing their reflection.
Same thing with orks.
Wizards are full of overt racists with guilty consciousness
It's getting out of hand...
Stop finding problems to be upset with and fix, please.
Soon enough they will probably stop printing cards that negatively affect other colors or something.
Just what I came to comment. It is to make sure MTG's goblins don't fall into the Harry Potter semblance of goblins. No matter what same people may wish to think, those Potter goblins are walking talking antisemitic tropes. If you disagree it must be because you haven't seen the last 200 years worth of print propaganda, they even made them bankers for God's sake.
Wizards, it seems, is just looking to stay out of any possible controversy so they aren't even seen as possibly being antisemitic. Honestly it is a good choice, made for the right decisions, but the language just isn't clear because they don't even want to say why they are doing it. There are some bad faith artists that would attempt to sneak in that messaging and iconography, as it has happened plenty of times in Magic's past. Just look at all the hidden phallic symbols, some not so hidden, and try to claim there aren't messages snuck into cards. That's why some were banned due to art, Although those were less than subtle instances.
@@jeremysmith4789 and it was based.
Gritty sound during talk about gritty cards.
It's meta commentating!
Ngl, to me is either pull an Eldrazi Titan or Bust. Pull rate on any of them is horrendously low. Glad they got some awesome reprints though.
That's disturbing that the Japanese printed cards are going to garbage too
What's left is the Belgium printers! I've never seen bad quality from there (as a European, mine come from there)
Wizards must have built his audio equipment
You're gonna have to start taking "fine, luxury" out of your intro. Maybe replace it with "overpriced".
sounds like Purp is broadcasting this on AM radio😂
Is it just me or is there a static noise underneath the audio on this video?
Wizards thinks goblins are Jewish its clear, they think orks are black and they think “tribes” as a work is mean to natives. There racist and think there making themselves look inclusive but no one was thonking this nonsense but them lol
but they are. its why elves, as the most beautiful race, are white.
The goblin nose issue is easy to understand. AI art generation struggles putting big noses on goblins. It wants to use make them elves.
There is awful hissing on audio quality fella, especially around 13 mins in I noticed 😮❤
Just found out this morning while playing on Spelltable that the French version of fracture is just wrong, the French v says Destroy target artifact, CREATURE, or plans walker. Our poor French player was so pissed when he realized he could've blown up a vital enchantment
The SLD should be focusing on offering great Illustrations, they sell well if the cards are useful. The Special Guest cards are amazing and I am glad they are a thing now, I hope they continue to make them.
I only get SLD if it's an Artist series that I like, or if it has Faeries in it (I collect them and play them) And the only UB I would get as a Secret Lair would be Jem & The Hollograms.
Yep, was burned by lack of the Seedborn Muse promo. It was in my cart but I had to tackle a work task before I could check out. Came back, had to refresh my screen, and it was gone. We're talking about like 5 minutes of time. Pretty pissed because it was my only reason for ordering the bundle
I love how when card quality comes up his mic starts messing up lol.
My collector eldrazi deck came with 2 corrupted crossroads and no garruks uprising…. Not the end of the world, but also i have an extra land that only works in this specific deck and 0 copies of a card thats good in every green deck…
I get what people are saying about the Goblin redesign trying to fight antisemitism, but if you really look into it, that negative connotation of large noses runs even deeper. When race science started to become a mainstream thing in the late 18th century in Europe, something that came along with it was a concept called physiognomy. This was a way of prescribing moral characteristics and values to certain facial features, and led to a lot of really messed up stuff to uphold and enforce the cultural and ethnic hegemony of pale Christian Europeans, including antisemitic categorization of large crooked noses as belonging to deceptive and uncouth bad actors. This is the context on which institutional antisemitic discrimination was built in post-WWI Germany, as well as the horrific American tenets of eugenics that were being formalized into law at around that time. I think that WOTC wants to get out from under the thumb of Goblins being described in appearance through physiognomic discrimination as a reflection of anxieties and hatred in mid-19th to early-20th century central Europe. Some of their moves very much overstep into virtue signalling, but this was a private document that sought to curtail discrimination, and I agree with their decision. One need only look at some of the comments on this video to tell that antisemitism is still rampant. My dear grandmother was Jewish before marrying my Irish Catholic grandfather, and her parents came to the US (but first, Cuba, as the US also had a horse in this race) as children escaping cruel discrimination in Russia and Romania, and she doesn't deserve the vitriol and ignorance in our society.
TLDR: religious people ruining the world as usual. Apparently accepting one claim without evidence leads to accepting other claims without evidence... Who would've thought!
Small nose goblins is more upsetting to me than most of the bullshit we’ve seen in the past few years (and I’ve been genuinely mad about the recent BS; I’m just a goblin lover)
Look pretty much nothing WoTC does will stop people from buying their cards unless the prices hit such a point where its literally unaffordable
Japanese cards are made on recycled paper bc of the laws there, and it’s noted that it will impact the physical cards. I don’t know if this is exactly that, but it could be
Goblins in certain depictions can be used as antisemitic caricatures, with the biggest modern example being the goblins from the Harry Potter franchise. Personally, I don't think the MtG goblins really invoke those stereotypes apart from having big noses, I guess, so I don't personally think this was a necessary change. The vast majority of MtG goblins are chaotic and mischievous creatures that love machinery and explosions, not greedy and malicious ruling class bankers.
Alara goblins are awesome
I feel like anyone that thinks having a large nose and interest in finance is racist, is probably the racist.
This was my exact thought when he mentioned they were changing the way goblins were shown.
Wizards probably stopped caring about card quality in Japan because no one here is buying Wizards product. Pokemon is still the number one card game, and of course Yu-Gi-Oh and Weiss-Schwartz are still popular. Magic is certainly played, but it's nowhere near Pokemon in terms of sales or interest.
Cool, I wish someone would play Pokemon here... everyone is just collecting.
Wotc is in a real "hold my beer" contest with games workshop for who can be the most anti consumer.
Resolve has a denoise function in the studio version that could easily fix up your noise quality issue. Called “voice isolation”
>Karlov Manor
“Let’s break Ravnica with a hammer
>Thunder Junction
“Oh shit where’s that Gisa art we commissioned for our canceled M22 set?”
>Bloomburrow
“Get that fluffy kitten art out.”
>Dudkmourne
“Oh this doesn’t fit our 80’s Horror set? Doesn’t matter.
I haven't looked at the math to know for sure but whenever I browse secret lairs on Scryfall, it seems like most of them balance out to be roughly break-even with the purchase price, often heavily weighted on a single card. Only very few actually end up being worth a lot, and equally few end up being worthless.
So as always, if you enjoy the art and have plans to use the cards, buy em and enjoy em. Otherwise leave them alone. As investments they are pretty trash.
They also said they would ship Secret Lairs immediately but they haven’t shipped to most that bought it.
got to 1230 and couldn't handle the static. Sorry about not making through the video.
Stop the train.
The baby doesn't like static on his youtube bowl.
Shout out to the radio static when talking about magic card quality 😂😂😂
How to make Secret Lair a success:
1. Print cards people want
2. Bundle them on theme
3. Commission beautiful alternate art
4. Put them in the retro border (this one’s for me)
The reason for the goblin "redesign" is because one of the DEI consultants said the noses were a reference to a religion that has a certain star shape associated with it and they needed to distance themselves from that imagery because of the "Harry Potter" crowd.
This is the stupidity happening behind the scenes.
Anyone who knows the allegations of harry potter and goblins, knows EXACTLY why they shrank their noses.
It's par for the course.
Its along the same lines as orks and those of my ethnicity with darker complexion.
Even though hardly Magic these days I appreciate your content and if it be possible to play a game with you 😊 Keep up the great work 😊
Did you leave the window open? There is quite some noise in the background throughout half the video.
It wouldn't surprise me if "lethal throwdown" had been designed by AI. The text on that card is such a mess.
I can see AI being incredibly useful for them to evaluate card designs and test against the meta, but not so much for art. A game that prides itself on its human-created art should steer well clear of AI art. Magic isn't some fly-by-night Kickstarter TCG, Wizards!
I love Miku, but the artwork for the Secret Lair was so awful for me that I couldn’t bring myself to buy it.
But in the end art is subjective and I wish that those Secret lairs got to Hatsune Miku fans that really liked the cards instead of scalpers trying to inflate prices in the secondary market… oh wait!!…
with how things are going, i could care less about WotC using AI art as long as they increase the quality of the cards. Would love to see the powerstone token come back.
the traditional goblin design has antisemetic roots, with the nose often being an exaggerated stereotype so i see why they are changing it. I mean, its dumb, no one was saying the goblins are antisemetic, but woke is woke 🤷
Sadly, I think you are right.
No body goes "right I tap Krenko... Now where are my Je... I mean goblin tokens" it's silly and wizards is just giving that stereotype power by reinforcing it by acknowledging that it exists if you know what I mean. It's the same effect when they banned cards that destroy black creatures just because of the name of the cards where they (wizards) are making the link, noone else. They have become obsessed with race and ethnicity.
Isreal is veeeeery influential. You could google Mark Rosewater, Gavin Verhey, Melissa Detorra and what religion they followed if you cared. Nothing really to see there.... nothing at all.
I absolutely love that Elvish Mystic. I hope I get it in mine and not something else!
Audio quality = mtg card print quality 😬
aye thats my photo from the SLD
To anyone crying about the static in the sound:
You would die watching tv in the 60's or 70's,and by the way he is an "OLD WIZARD AND HIS BACK HURTS"
tbh i felt a bit nostalgic hearing some static, reminds me of my old tv set when i was playing some games on my Master System II
Deadass didn't even notice lmfao
if they just put cool versions of good cards, they would sell 🤯
Gave up even looking at secret lairs when they changed to limited run. Couldn't be damned trying to rush for anything and still miss.
Same. Not just that, but they come on sale at a certain time for pacific I believe, as someone who lives in the uk, I’m not stopping up until 3 in the morning to try and order this shit. They need to do better
Didn’t the fallout secret lairs sell out in a matter of minutes? Surely wizards of the coast doesn’t kill it on every single secret lair they make. I’d say for the vast majority more than likely sell pretty well. With that being said, have the past you been trash? Yeah.
Imagine if they printed good cards in the secret lairs
The news about MTG specifically, and WotC as a whole over the last two years, sent me running back to Bungie like a junkie to their dealer last month.
can we get some chapters?
I'm here for the Doom, I was not disapointed!
So how long until we get summer magic again and they just sell it as a secret lair?
Secret Lairs have, and always will be to me; FUCKING POINTLESS as a seperate product. They should be in the Main and Side sets as hard to pull cards. Like one per case or something….
They already shrank Krenko's nose in Murders so they have been at it for a while
Wow... seems like my boycott of WotC is just never going to end at this point. Might just look to sell my whole collection before it is entirely devalued via reprints.
I mean, they outright announced that everything not on the RL could, “Be reprinted at any time, in any number of sets, in any quantity.”
MaRo made a point of emphasizing that in his blog.
The RL itself has been described by the Ex-CEO as, “A contingency available in the event of a major unexpected reversal.”
I would have honestly thought that all the serious collectors would have realized after Doubling Season that *nothing* is safe. (3 reprints out of 4 consecutive sets.)
It won't just be infinite reprints that devalue old cards, but also power creep. Modern Horizons 3 is ramping up the power creep again.
Ive never been happier to have left this anti consumer company in the dust. Imagine paying a premium for the equivalent of keychains out of those gacha machines...
Gamespot stuff sounds like a money laundering scheme
Its good to see politically motivated censorship exerting censorship in clearly non-political card games again. That is very much needed to save the rights of individuals suffering under social dismissal and not just the purses of a few litigious individuals as usual.
Not the first time they changed Goblins, won't be the last.
Secret lair art is awesome but I will never pay for what they ask.
fuck the reprint train, AI, and corporate profit margins.
The problem with the most recent secret lair products was poor card design (lack of rules text ect, or cringe card themes...) and crap card value.
It really is just the trifecta of garbage. I really hope that they sell absolutely none of it and are at a loss, it’s the only way to get them to change.
They are changing the design of goblins specifically because wizards of the coast seem to think that the old goblin design is an antisemitic stereotype. So they want to change their appearance. This is a thing that people accused JK rolling of doing in her books.
I still roll my eyes when they got rid of witch as a creature type but kept witch as parts of creature names. Wokeness is a laughing joke.
Poor quality control on the video my guy…
What’s even crazier than the shitty card quality and inflated prices is that peeps are literally throwing money at these fools.
I am a decent artist and a decent AI prompter and I make much better art than much of MTG art. I have always been disappointed in MTG's art because there is some good art but so much of it is bad and out of place it just drags the rest down. The best part of using Ai is you can rapidly prototype your ideas, and train it to have a certain style, lighting, colors, etc. Then you can take multiple images it gives you, correct the anatomy how you want and do a good job in photoshop with the smudge and liquify tool, and get a great picture. AI is just another tool like photoshop that can increase your efficiency. It is up to the artist to make sure the anatomy is good. If you look at the full size art of Liliana of the veil, you will notice the anatomy and lighting is actually pretty bad, her legs are all screwed up, it's just hidden off the card. If I was in charge of the art for MTG I would want the artist to use AI too and give them tools to work with where I can do some quality control. However do I trust Wizards to do this? No. They have shown already that they don't care about quality, correct anatomy, style, color consistency, or composition. I don't trust whoever is in charge to have any taste in art.
Pretty funny ya talk about magic's quality, and your mic sounding was like "SHIT! WOTC'S QUALITY IS AIRBORNE!!!!"
Why isn't it Mega Magic Mondays?
Always alliterate awesome accolades!
IIRC the news doesn't just come on Mondays.
@@RaceBandit Of course not, but if it falls on a Monday. Gotta slap that alliteration button.
Blossom is angry about goblins
It must be raining today lol
Jesus, I'm old. Who/what the fuck is Hatsune Miku?
Had to look it up, I think it's an anime singer.
@@The_Dying_Roseit's worse than that, it's a computer generated pop idol. A "fake" musician similar to the Gorillaz, but instead of actual musicians behind it, it's just a computer.
@@qedproqwo1634 so there isnt even a real singer?
@@The_Dying_Rose Not to my knowledge. I've always heard/been told it's entirely computer generated. She's just a brand held up by dated a.i
Edit: I spent a few minutes on Google and it seems like they sample voices from voice actors and use those samples to generate lyrics and conversations similar to the newer a.i voice apps thatve become popular (things like Obama playing Minecraft..etc)
One of the oldest AI singers in existence, perhaps even _the_ oldest.
I just tested my theories and its easy to abuse mtg arena XD.
went from plat 4 to mythic in a little over 3 hours (excluding the few idiots who stalled for time XD)
Somethin fuckey happened to the audio.
Goblins have a root in antisemitic tropes so smaller noses/more variance of noses could be that change could be interpreted as a good thing
Gamestop asking WotC prices for cards.
Miku is a proof they should only do waifu secret lairs if they want to make real money. As for the goblin's noses, I can think of a different long-nosed tribe that could be the reason.
Someone got hurt fee fees looking at the original Dockside Extortionist printing…
You have serious issues. - Wizards Probably
sound quality goes to shit after 12min
Can't finish watching. That audio quality.
Markov Manor ❤
Prob changed goblins as being overly protected from antisemtic comments considering current climate
I don’t know man, looking at long noses and saying they remind you about an entire race of people and banning their use seems kinda… oh what’s the word?.. racist?
Lots of racist commenters too, bet they think Orcs aren't fantasy creatures either.
the cards power lvl are just getting nuts....and it doesn't seem as fun anymore...its now a power struggle of whos got the strongest 7 ....stupid...
Maybe the Goblins look too much like Mark Rosewaters mom! Boom, roasted! 🤣
yah purp your mics fucked, lol
Something tells me it has to do with trying to cutoff at the pass any type of antisemitism
Failing, but out of Stock. Idk
Gotta love dancing around big nose theme. Surely, no cancel culture danger here!
I already saw the spoilers for Cowboy Bebop Secret layer cards and it trash's 🗑
Since players continue to pay these ridiculous prices, Wizards will raise prices on a regular basis. They want you to pay high prices for lousy quality cards. Wizards will print a lot of MH3 and they are still printing MH2. The prices of cards will spiral down. They continue to ruin a lot of the card value with so many reprints. Training Grounds went from $30.00 down to $2.50. My sons, friends, and I love playing Magic. My oldest son plays in tournaments but the rest of us are casual players. Why should we pay these high prices for a card game? I will wait to buy singles and Proxies. The quality of the Proxies are so much better than todays Magic cards. The GREEDY SLEAZ BALL Cocks is the one calling the shots so he can get bigger bonuses. He is slowly running Magic into the ground. I could care less about Secret Lairs. GameStop should just stick to video games. Thank you for the video Magic Historian.
Evil Wizards
Hissing and popping throughout the video. Maybe try exporting again?
