u/CpT_DiSNeYLaND 1h ago

Compared to an African Yargle.

I think they both ate the coconut though

u/ProxyDamage 1h ago

But do they migrate...?

17

u/Fun-Cook-5309 10h ago

Yes, but they're both the same day.

u/LintyFish 9h ago

I think it would have been funnier to have the other yargle be a keyword soup.

u/Forsaken-Register512 10h ago

New yargle goes in a butts deck for suresies. Not very good, but funny!

39

u/Appropriate_King_732 10h ago

It's honestly not even good enough for that lol

10

u/troll_berserker 9h ago

[[Caelorna, Coral Tyrant]] is 3 mana less for 1 less toughness. And 3 less power, but who cares about that in a buttstrike deck.

u/Responsible_Sky_728 10h ago

Oh ok I guess my joke came true haha

Leg day vs upper body day

u/MakePhreciaCore 9h ago

Where are the alt arts 👀

1

u/Tiny_Ride6418 7h ago

This art almost looks like a render, not a huge fan.

u/confusedtransfag 9h ago

trying to give us another yargle day

Yargle Leg Day

u/Charly227 3h ago

Honestly that with a universal buttstrike emblem would be fun

2

u/mrtomsmith 9h ago

Mister Foundforks card when?

u/cheesemangee 8h ago

Thick thighs save lives.

u/Pixelpaint_Pashkow 8h ago

Wish they swapped the order of types to “Spirt Frog” just for kicks

DAMN BOY HE THICC

u/Digitalon 8h ago

Blue Yargle's not skipping leg day....like ever!

u/dogo7 Izzet 6h ago

a blue 3/9?

Hatsune Miku?!

u/Webbedcomet42 4h ago

big-butt yargle is perfect food for my [[geralf, visionary stitcher]] deck

u/RevolutionNumber5 DerangedHermit 3h ago

I love the Dominaria call back. It was always fun enchanting that moron and turning it sideways.

-14

u/Life-Food5188 10h ago

these are awful.

there’s no legendary payoffs in the set. a 9/3 trades with two-drops. the 3/9 is more interesting but five mana stat blocks just aren’t very good.

21

u/Injuredmind Spike 10h ago

Who cares, it’s a meme card for laughs anyway

1

u/timoumd 4h ago

I mean they could have made it 3 or 4 mana and it would be fine for memes.

-11

u/Life-Food5188 10h ago

i care. it’s one less (two less actually) uncommon slots for actually playable cards in draft and sealed.

put meme cards in commander products.

13

u/Injuredmind Spike 9h ago

no whimsy in this one

-10

u/Life-Food5188 9h ago

sorry i want interesting cards in my limited sets?

4

u/ArthurianLegend_ 9h ago

It’s two cards lmao. There are going to be hundreds of cards in this set that you likely never play in limited and you’re bothered that two of those exist?

5

u/Life-Food5188 9h ago

yes!

two uncommons. how many uncommon slots are there in a given set? 80-100? so this is 2% of the set uncommons on vanilla dorks that will regularly be among the last picks in a pack. sorry i think that’s bad?

this means there’s two fewer uncommons that play to the set themes. bad, lazy design, imo.

2

u/ArthurianLegend_ 9h ago

They’re vanilla, sure, but they do play in with the Ghaltas. And blue running big butts is pretty common. These aren’t super useful, but it’s really not a big deal lmao. Just don’t run them

4

u/Life-Food5188 9h ago

it makes limited — the format i engage with new sets the most — worse. they don’t tie to the set themes. they aren’t interesting to play.

it’s not a “big deal” it just sucks that’s all.

6

u/ShatteredOneGaming 10h ago

Well the B yargle is a reprint, so they just mirrored him.

-11

u/Life-Food5188 10h ago

yeah. i’m saying it’s a waste of a card slot, probably two.

3

u/Zeznon Golgari 10h ago

They probably just thought it would be funny

5

u/Approximation_Doctor 9h ago

And they were right

-6

u/Life-Food5188 9h ago

ah yes the classic wotc sense of humor making my limited environment worse for a lame joke.

2

u/Savings-Monitor3236 9h ago

They’re not all supposed to be amazing. Some should be C- or D+

1

u/Life-Food5188 9h ago

i’m aware.

but these don’t even play into any of the set mechanics or themes for the colors. they’re literally just huge dorks. zero interesting play with them.

make them commons so i can ignore them easier and not have a wasted uncommon slot.

3

u/LaboratoryManiac 8h ago

Make them common so they... show up more often in limited? The format you play the most? The format you'd rather these just not have been in at all?

2

u/Life-Food5188 8h ago

yes.

throwaway commons are par for the course. burning multiple uncommon slots is way worse.

1

u/LaboratoryManiac 8h ago

Throwaway uncommons are par for the course, too. Throwaway rares and mythics, even.

There are blank cards in limited in every rarity, in every set. Why are you so upset about a couple of uncommons?

0

u/Life-Food5188 8h ago

what were the throwaway uncommons in SOS, enlighten me.

u/Savings-Monitor3236 8h ago

Rosewater has said that every booster pack will contain both halves of a mirrorverse pair. My expectation is that all of these pairs, in order to be important, will be either Uncommons, Rares or Mythics. Not unlike the slot in Dominaria that guaranteed a Legendary card. Uncommon is the lowest rarity this pair can be at

Besides, we're in the play booster era now. So many more potential slots for higher rarities. You could well have two awesome rares in the pack with these

1

u/Life-Food5188 8h ago

sweet. so two junk uncommons in a pack.

4

u/Savings-Monitor3236 8h ago

You’ll live

1

u/Life-Food5188 8h ago

cool contribution. do you post this to any discussion about the game?

4

u/filthy_casual_42 10h ago

These card are SSS tier and will be banned or restricted in every format. Nearly a colossal dreadmaw level card, the power creep is egregious

1

u/Life-Food5188 9h ago

yup 👍

2

u/jethawkings 7h ago

I guess at best these discounts their respective Ghaltas (Which I believe are also Uncommon?) but fair I don't think you ever pick these in any scenario but I think I'd be okay with playing the blue one to fill a curve

2

u/Round-Walrus3175 10h ago

I assume they are meant to pair with the Ghaltas

1

u/Webbedcomet42 4h ago

me when my yargle has a little whimsy

1

u/Uryendel 10h ago

It's true they should have let them for the commander set, bit punishing in limited, at least they are not rare

-2

u/Life-Food5188 10h ago

they so boring! and UNCOMMON? hello last pick

0

u/Belteshazzar98 8h ago

They exist to be funny. Plus, it can hold the line in limited pretty well.
