From Plastic to Cardboard - A full review of 40K's Magic the Gathering crossover set! 

Thank you for being that guy so I dont have to

another 'that guy' here. the rosarius more specifically contains a Conversion Field

I'm guessing using Leman Russes as tractors or a Knight as a mobile crane or something? Edit: Looked it up and it's a Russ converted to a combine harvester, with the thresher setup fixed to the sponson guns mounts which is honestly genius and I kinda want to build one for Necromunda or something.

@@Axquirix Its makes sense. Knights during the Pre-Dark Age Was used for conolnizing new worlds and doing manual labor.

Blue's also the color of curiosity and self-improvement, something the Imperium's not too great with. I guess they need blue for all the psykers and AdMech, but it's still an odd choice. The cynical part of me wonders if the Imperium's most iconic faction wearing solid blue armor has anything to do with it.

I still think the 'nids are more Simic than Temur, but Temur works. I agree the Imperium should be Mardu, they should have broken off Mechanicus and made them Mono-Blue or Izzit. I agree with Chaos, everything but White. And I honestly think the best fit for Necrons is just straight Colorless. But the biggest blunder is not having one of the decks be Gruul Orks. I mean come on, it's perfect! I also think Esper Eldar could have worked by making it a mix of craftworld, drukhari, and harlequins.

Maybe they wanted him to be blue white to explicitly stand apart from the other tech priests in the deck

gime orks

They actually haven't. They've stressed that it's possible to reprint them (no second Reserved List because their license to use Marneus Calgar expired), but the only ones actually confirmed to get in-universe reskins are the Secret Lair ones. Everything else is in the "we'll reprint if we need to" zone, which considering how many non-crossover cards desperately need reprinting does not bode well for any of these.

That's pretty mean to Red

@@phearamax4146 i mean red has it coming

Green is INTERdepence. That is why all of the nature cards are green.

@@doughnutboyo6922 not gonna lie i just wanted to trash red i had looked up what wizards said each color is for the rest of the colors lol

I really don't see the issue with the types. There are plenty of things in Magic that have very specific/weird types, like jellyfish (which could have been grouped with fish) or monk (when cleric exists), or unique types like sliver or atog. Tyranids look like dinosaur insects, but they are neither. Necrons are their own race, like the Kor or the Vedalken. Astartes should be distinct from humans. If MtG ever had a superman card and it was human instead of kryptonian, it would be a massive flavor fail.

@@DarksteelPenguin I meant specifically within the realm of universes beyond, where the goal is to make things fit in with the existing flavor of the game. Demon/Devil/Imp make sense to be separate within the game, but adding a new type for universes beyond called Daemon wouldn't make sense, even though that's what they are called in 40k, and even though they are not biblical demons, flavor-wise. This would be a silly distinction to make within the game even though its technically lore accurate. All I'm saying is that the reverse is also true. The goal should be fitting new card designs from another property within the existing design space of magic. That includes creature types. Astartes are humans with mutations. So why aren't they Human Mutants? Necrontyr are their own race, for sure, but they exist in the lore as undying constructs, and are repeatedly referred to as soulless... they are artifacts and undead, so why aren't they artifact creature - zombies? Or artifact creature - spirit? I'm not clamoring for particular types from these guys. They could've done anything other than name them after their warhammer race. The space they occupy is now extremely narrow/parasitic, and in the same way we haven't seen Arcane return, we will never get support for "necrons" beyond generic artifact support, or the imperium deck beyond generic token/human support, etc. And that sucks imo. I think superman being kryptonian would work as long as kryptonian existed in magic outside of universes beyond. But it doesn't, so make it fit in with magic. Otherwise, what's the point?
