Stopping in just to drop advice. You need to have one of the chase cards taking up most of the thumbnail. I don't know who you are. I don't know what the secret card is you're hiding. Lure us in with something we might know. Like a PSA 10 Simba or some thing. And some money and question marks. I don't even follow lorcana but this could do better. Gl!
I hate Nadu because he's so unfun to play against or even play with. Sure, he's not TOO overpowered, but when a Nadu player starts comboing off you can't even just scoop and go to next game because his combos are nondeterministic. Both players have to sit there and wait because there's a non-zero chance that the Nadu combo stops and doesn't win the game on the spot. It's not a broken card... well, not broken enough for a ban at least, but damn is it such a miserable card with awful design. I don't think Nadu SHOULD be banned, but I really do wish it WAS banned, lol. Oh well, we'll see how the meta shifts.
I agree, when i watched the modern pro tour and when nadu started going it just wasnt even fun to watch. I'm sure the players dont all enjoy it either but they are trying their best to win so played it.
Thats cool and all... but... i have a printer. I can print myself like... the hole collection for the price of a starter pack. So... i stay away from something like this
You only need 53% winrate to break even so I would try it! I also would not be surprised if this ends up too generous and wizards will cancel it again.
These packs are inherently making themselves worth less with each opening.. foils were high $ for their scarcity.. now they're often same or even less now than the originals because player don't want to use them competitively.
That's not how AI art works, it doesn't really copy entire elements as is, more like takes several images that fit the prompt and smooshes them together 'till something cohesive emerges, this was definitely done by a human.
imagine being asked to make art for a card that hundreds of thousands of people (minimum) are going to see and thinking "Yeah, they won't notice if I've plagiarized a few things here and there..."
in my uninformed opinion, it does look like heavily touched-up AI art, because the composition of the image makes no sense. though, maybe thats a result of collaging together unrelated sources?
plagiarism is deliberate, if this fay person was a graphic designer and used AI, how is it their fault the program stole images? also, if this fay person was plagiarizing other work, why steal from several sources? I think people are just to quick to blame a person for theft rather than accepting that many people can have the same idea while not having seen the works of others.
1. They shouldn't be using AI to begin with. WoTC explicitly states that they don't use AI in magic card art (as of now at least). Using a model would immidiately go against the terms of the contract. Not to mention the mountain of ethical issues that comes with AI, such as the training of models with unlicensed training data/unauthorized training data. 2. The accusation isn't that it stole from many sources, the accusation was that the artist stole a good chunk of the piece from a singular source. 3. There's coming up with a similar idea, but the original inage and trouble in pairs share extrmely similar character design, color pallette, lighting, and environment. The misaligned stairs also seems to be taken from that piece. At best it was made using very heavily referenced art and at worst it was traced over with no regard for how perspective integrates into the piece as a whole. Tracing and heavy referencing are fine on their own, but it's not okay in professional work. I urge you to be more informed before commenting.
This has happened several times with mtg already, and several artists have gotten caught doing it. Also, it likely isn't an a.i. image. If you reference it with other common a.i. mistakes, it holds way better. There are no extra fingers/ligaments, and the clothes are coherently designed. If it was done by a.i., it was heavily touched up with Photoshop. However, the lines and bad layering is easily explained by someone photoshopping several images together. It isn't quick to blame. We have just seen the rodeo long enough to know where to place our bets, that's all.
I kind of believe it is ai, And that you still can't stop the future. People who play Magic wouldn't stop playing Magic.If the rule was well , we're going to integrate some ai Art into our cards. Or rather not enough people Would stop. And if a I takes a collage of art it makes it into something Plagiarism is I may not come at to play at all because it's not Set on how this is going to be handled yet Legally
