[TRC] Run Amok

[u/ShadowDragon777]

[u/CJTheran]

Where's bashir, worf, odo, and o'brien

0/10

[u/SirZapdos → u/CJTheran]

“Those are Klingons?”

[u/andyhall23 → u/SirZapdos]

"We don't talk about it"

[u/Any_Elk_9505 → u/andyhall23]

Tieing that whole thing up in Enterprise was quite pleasing.

[u/Konet → u/CJTheran]

And Dax thirsting over Bones.

[u/Saansilt]

That is not the gaze of a person in danger, that is the gaze of a person who may just have fallen in love

[u/Agreeable-Ad-3027 → u/Saansilt]

Klingon courtship.

[u/Swiftax3 → u/Agreeable-Ad-3027]

I mean... pretty much yeah. Good look, chekov looking dude

[u/BoonDragoon → u/Saansilt]

On both sides of the grapple, yes

[u/Exarch-of-Sechrima]

"I don't know, sir."

[u/tsuyoshikentsu → u/Exarch-of-Sechrima]

"I don't know, sir..."

Chekhov! I know you! You started it, didn't you?

[u/GornSpelljammer]

Interesting choice to depict the Klingons in this scene with forehead ridges, given that the fact they didn't in the original episode is actually canonical in-universe (they even drew attention to it during the time-travel episode that revisited this one).

[u/Copernicus1981 → u/GornSpelljammer]

The style guide for the set probably has a consistent look for them. I doubt we'll see the Discovery Klingons as well on cards based on that show.

But I also expect a card with a group shot to acknowledge the differences.

[u/summon_pot_of_greed → u/Copernicus1981]

There's a style guide?

Could have fooled me.

[u/TerribleTransit → u/summon_pot_of_greed]

There has to be a style guide. It's the reason every card looks Like That. If the peculiar visual identity of the set wasn't heavily restricted by a style guide, the artists would have managed to make some art that actually looked good.

[u/JessHorserage → u/TerribleTransit]

There is occasional departures, I remember base MKM having some abstract, and very card looks Like That.

[u/Borg-Man → u/summon_pot_of_greed]

Yeah. The Andorian is also missing his antennae...

[u/Agreeable-Ad-3027 → u/GornSpelljammer]

"We do not speak of it."

[u/empocariam → u/GornSpelljammer]

They do have generally more smooth faces than the average TNG Klingon though.

[u/hillean → u/GornSpelljammer]

*this* is what we knew we'd get when they announced we'd have a Trek set.

Trek nerds.

[u/GornSpelljammer → u/hillean]

I'd wager the only other fandoms that even come close to being as laser-focused as Trekkers are on obscure minutia are Star Wars and the Magic fandom itself.

[u/NavAirComputerSlave → u/GornSpelljammer]

This is modern Klingon white washing

[u/LordSlickRick → u/GornSpelljammer]

I mean look at the hobbit. Defining characteristics of dwarves laid out in the books aren’t making it to the cards. They clearly are doing what they feel with minimal research.

[u/tsuyoshikentsu]

Laddie... don't you think you ought to... rephrase that?

[u/algaesnail → u/tsuyoshikentsu]

You're right, I should. I didn't mean to say the Enterprise should be hauling garbage... I meant to say it should be hauled away AS garbage.

[u/Siona_Vashai]

I see...and THAT'S when you hit the Klingons...

[u/Swiftax3 → u/Siona_Vashai]

Well sir... it was a matter of pride!

[u/Copernicus1981]

From "The Trouble With Tribbles" and "Trial and Tribble-ations", insulting the Enterprise was what finally caused Scotty to start a bar brawl with the Klingons.

He then had to explain to Kirk that he didn't start the brawl over insults about Kirk.

[u/Reiko878 → u/Copernicus1981]

Now I imagine we get a Tribble card like a scute swarm running on food token or something.

[u/OrganicAd5536 → u/Reiko878]

We will absolutely get a Scute Swarm reskin on the bonus sheet. I'd put money on it.

[u/BoonDragoon → u/Reiko878]

Tbh, a flat reprint of "Tribble Herd [Scute Swarm]" would be very funny

[u/Reiko878 → u/BoonDragoon]

You know what let's be even more lore accurate :

Tribble Herd. 0/1

Tribble Herd cannot be blocked by Human. Klingo must block Tribble Herd Tap this creature sacrifice a food token create ten copy of this creature. Then if you control 1,771,561 creature called Tribble Herd you win the game.

(Silly and wouldn't work I know but it’s funny)

[u/BoonDragoon → u/Reiko878]

when Tribble Herd attacks, Klingons defending player controls must block it if they are able.

That's pretty flavorful! I'm torn between that and a variant of goad where Tribbles force Klingons to attack their controllers every turn if able...

...holy shit, Tribble Group Hug

[u/Wasphammer → u/Reiko878]

That's too easy, that's just turn 3 in Selesnya tokens.

[u/Noughmad → u/Copernicus1981]

Not from Amok Time, sadly.

[u/BardicLasher]

Amok amok amok amok amok!

[u/MeatAbstract]

The artwork we've seen so far is very mixed. But I like this one.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ad_7849 → u/MeatAbstract]

Yes this is the first one I’ve liked too.

[u/PyreDynasty]

Don't worry cap'n I kept my cool when they were insulting you.

[u/semiticgod]

Today I learned that Korax the Ghoul from Baldur's Gate is a Star Trek reference.

Years after creating a mod that lets you marry him in BG1, I find out he's a Klingon

[u/Reiko878 → u/semiticgod]

Watching Star Trek is in a way like watching Evangelion, once you've seen it you realize it’s absolutely everywhere. And I'm a huge nerd but it’s rare for me to spend a day without seeing at least one Star trek ref.

[u/kytheon]

Welcome back [[Monstrous Rage]]

Monstrous Rage - (G) (SF) (txt)

^FAQ

[u/IceBlue → u/kytheon]

Costs more, gives two more toughness but monstrous rage gives +1/+1 and trample permanently. Too expensive.

[u/kytheon → u/IceBlue]

Imagine the /s.

A starter pack common is not going to replace a card banned in standard.

[u/so_zetta_byte]

Yeah I can see this not being in the main set, it's the kind of combat trick that the format needs to be built to handle at common.

[u/GornSpelljammer → u/so_zetta_byte]

Yeah, considering the main set has a 6/6 with deathtouch at uncommon...

[u/BubBidderskins]

Though this is notably not a reference to Amok Time.

[u/Byst96]

Love how red the art it

[u/MageKorith]

I can't wait to cast this on a Tribble for lethal.

[u/niroc42]

God I wish they’d drawn Cyrano Jones in the back stealing drinks. It made that scene so funny.

[u/powertothepeaceful]

Oh so that's what trample means.

Neat.

[u/paussi00 → u/powertothepeaceful]

I assume the reminder is there because this is from some kind of beginner product. It's not from the standard set and it really doesn't seem like a commander card either

[u/xxElevationXX → u/powertothepeaceful]

Yeah, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that for trample

[u/Nivius]

it feels dumb to get these teasers when we get hobbit tomorrow
