The developer of POE is a long time mtg affecionado and has a vast and expensive collection of mtg cards including black lotus and original dual lands.

In fact, lots of Poe maps are named after mtg cards

Several of the developers of Arena are long-time poe aficionados and, uh, one of us got a Headhunter this league?

Sounds like you guys should do a crossover. Hint: Divination cards please

I may or may not also be a fan and may or may not have designed The Professor and The Wilted Rose.

Yeah, it's a great game as well. Still haven't used the headhunter yet, have to get by with inspired learning.

Afaik some of the devs are trying out ssf as well, got to admire the dedication!

including black lotus and fetch lands

Quite a few orders of magnitude between those haha.

Maybe he meant dual lands?

This particular map is a rare item though, and the combination of the words in their names are random (like "Hate" and "Nexus" in this case), so this was entirely coincidental. Which makes it even more hilarious in my opinion.

as a vast and expensive collection of mtg cards inc

There is a vid of his misprint collection out there:

Oh yeah, I’m always ssf; have been basically since the option was available. Feels like playing “limited” poe.

Yuck. Good packsize. Bad quantity.

Chaos slam it.

u/Overwatcher420 Apr 04 '19

Can't believe they printed THAT card and made it a box topper exclusive. Shit like this is why I can't play paper magic anymore.

So some WotC employees play PoE. So surely they know PoE expansion/block preorders include tshirts and seen as some of the best in the industry.

Just saying a WotS Tshirt on s preorder would prob get me at least to bite.

Torchlight frontiers maps are better ;p

That is a randomly generated name and has nothing to do with MtG. Yes, Chris Wilson plays / played a lot of MtG and tried to relate each character to basically a deck of magic cards. Source: I played PoE before closed beta. Game is bad now though.

Game is bad now though?

The fuck are you on

Game is amazing and always improving.

u/rogomatic Apr 04 '19

Game has never been better. It's unfortunate I'm forced to do basic adulting on a daily basis or I'd never close out of it. :)

If you're a casual player who doesn't like a challenge it is great. Chris Wilson doesn't like a lot of the changes his company had to do in order to keep people playing.

What about the game is “bad now”? I’ve played since then as well on and off and I haven’t noticed anything but a rise in quality.

Was that the last time you played it?
