ever stop to appreciate an old joke?

this is "a softer magic" https://asoftermagic.tumblr.com/

a parody of the hit 2000s webcomic "a softer world," with magic cards instead of the fried-looking photos; all the text is cribbed directly, which is a core part of the joke

welcome to… the 2012 zeitgeist

@saddestrobots Lol, I saw the second one first and thought "A Softer World sure has changed." Fucking hated that comic.

@saddestrobots You summed it up so well with "performative jadedness". It's like a comic form of "Dear Diary Mood: Apathetic"

(they're not all like this, but softer world's performative jadedness goes real great with complaining about the metagame, so my favorites are like this)

  1. these blue cards anchored a succession of format-dominating control decks

  2. ash zealot is a card clearly designed to counter the then-ubiquitous snapcaster mage

  3. three incredibly powerful game-ending creatures that have all been the banned in commander
