    Anyone else notice how, before you fight a non-boss character in chapter 2, you see a version of them as a card?
    For example, the Inspector is a 1/1 with the hoarder sigil!
    …This is not the case for any of the magic students.
    Goobert’s card is unreadable due to dripping too heavily with slime, Spear Mage’s unsurprisingly has a hole in it, and Lonely Wizard is just. Pitch black.
    It’s unnerving, and REALLY drives home just how far Magnificus pushed his pupils.

      That, and once you consider the fact that the whole reason they're undergoing their respective pain is to become one of his cards, you realize that this is basically the game's way of telling you that none of them will ever serve as a card in his deck, and their situation gets that much bleaker.

    Magnificus was such a neat variation on the "wise old scholar" trope, instead of just being kind, evil, or insane like they usually are, instead his ultimate sin was pride;
    He wasn't evil, but what torture he put his students through was horrifying, though his reason for doing it was far from insane. He just failed to recognize that his protentional outcomes he was were not guaranteed outcomes, especially by the end of the game when he sadly fails to do the one thing left he wants to because he refused to accept an outcome he didn't want.

    I love how at the beginning the music is playful and chill-out, but gets more and more sad and creepy to the end. The change is subtle and yet so apparent. It is like you are in a place full of life and dance but slowly begin to realize that it is just an illusion and in reality you are alone in an empty and decrepit place. It feels to me like a song about some sad and final realization.

      Moxes are already effectively the equivalent of squirrels (having 1HP, no attack and allowing you to easily play your other cards), so I don’t get why they weren’t put in separate pile like them.

      @gianni50725 Год назад +4

      Mox isn't as bad as people say. You just need to focus on two colors to start off, and then only one color when you get enough cards. It's underrated how much you can get out of playing as many cards as you want with the right setup.
      The only thing that limits a maxed-out mox deck is how many cards per turn you can draw, but even then you can use one of the cards (I forget which) to draw even more cards. If you combine with an Ouroboros in the deck, you can win every fight with 100% certainty.
      Likely in a full Act 3 with magnificus you'd also have rare cards that attack and double as mox towers, which would become seriously overpowered.

Sensory deprivation DID unlock the full potential of his mind and even seemingly allow him to survive the deletion process, but look at the way he behaves.

    Mag was too prideful of his cards to change them, too anxious to attempt to take over himself, and too frustrated with the ending outcome to ever be able to take over the game like Leshy or P03 did.
    I think if he wasn't so anxious, he'd be able to do much more devastating damage. Each of them have their own selfish desires and ambitions.
    Grimora wants to end the game, Leshy wants to play it forever. P03 wants to rule it, Mag wants to shape it to his liking. No matter how wrong he is.
    I think that he could've gone farther than either of them did. He could see the future, he could've put it to good use and predicted all the moves made, done something about it, taken over and then spread the game himself.
    I think he just wants others to see his art, because he desperately does want what he deems beautiful to last forever.
    He's too cowardly to change it, though.

      Well, I mean it’s pretty obvious that they all have specific other gameplay types that adhere to each other. Leshy and grimora for example as such po3 and magnificus have a good way of combining their gameplay types as seen in act 3. I do agree though that in lore magnificus was sort of shoved aside. But since he has the canonical ability to see the future I feel it’s mostly that he would rather isolate himself safe in his tower than interact and risk himself. It’s why he ignores his students, seeing himself as too important to have to care about them.

      @@chillnagasden6190 Note that the person mentioned that the "unusable" part is indeed an exaggeration.
      The magic deck isn't a deck that's meant to be played as constantly super powerful, it's a gimmick deck. I'd argue that it's more fun to play because the whole battle becomes a puzzle and not just "Oh no, let me grab my Ouroboros" (or some other powerful card). But that is my opinion, which nobody is forced to agree with.
      The magic deck is one which requires actual thinking and logic, you need to plan out a battle. That's why Magnificus would naturally dominate it, he can literally see an entire battle before it was even foreshadowed.
      Yes, in terms of gameplay it's not as optimal, but that's not the point of the deck. The point of it is for it to be fun to plan out, play and satisfying to end. The deck requires careful planning and preparation, which is why it's not a good starting deck against someone like Grimora or Leshy and it's almost impossible to beat them then because they simply have brute force powerful decks which can seek out your Mox and destroy it.
      But, again, you're entitled to your own opinion. You may believe that the magic deck is the definition of absolute dogshit and you can keep believing that, but I'm telling you that you can't see the full picture. Then again, maybe that's just not your playstyle, then that's fine. The magic deck requires a very specific playstyle to keep it up, but when you do well it's really fun and satisfying (I'd argue more so than having your 50/50 Ouroboros just destroy the enemy) because your strategy finally pays off, all that work and effort pays off.
      Anyway, that's my input, feel free to disregard it. I don't care about adding another, nor starting a full-on argument. Have a good day! :)

    из всех пересичиков я больше всего ненавижу магнификуса.
    меня удручает то, насколько ему плевать на своих учеников.
    один раз я проиграли его ученику слизи, после чего он начал радоваться, что наконец достигнет желаемого. мне было больно еще раз начинать бой, так как он уже по сути победил. В итоге - он проиграл. А магнификусу, видимо, было по барабану.
    а еще он замазал слизь на его картине. Гад.
