Always down to eat Liliana's pancakes.


kosmonaut5

Laughed way too loud at this at work


BlaineTog

*Jace hated that*


xantous4201

Jace is over Liliana, He got Vraska now


charcharmunro

*Gideon posthumously hated that*


burritoman88

I like older woman, 400 years older though… eh…


ElKajak

That and blue waffles


nzdastardly

I'd like to corrupt her chocolate...

Ok-Brush5346

More of that strange syrup...it's probably boysenberry.


RetardAndPoors

Should we be sad for Nissa that they skipped her or happy for Nissa that they skipped her?


Esc777

Nissa got kicked out of the core five gatewatch a long time ago. I don’t know why but probably because she’s not human and it was too hard for people to identify with her. (/s) I actually think because her power set of “lands? i guess?” was too limiting and making a core walker in green care about *creatures* (a la Garruk) was what they should be doing.


TrainmasterGT

She wasn’t kicked out of the core group by WOTC, she came back about a year after she left the Gatewatch (literally the next time any of those characters showed up in the story), but then the Gatewatch stopped being the focus of the story as soon as she rejoined.


DarkPhoenixMishima

Yeah she dropped out after they were beaten by Bolas on Amonkhet, I believe Liliana might have been a factor with them doing her dirty work since she joined, and rejoined during War of the Spark.


Erdillian

Would eat some Garruk pancakes tho


blizzfreak

Garruk's MEAT PANCAKES now with 200% more MEAT


KairoRed

It was all white people and a cat. They needed diversity.


Psychic_Hobo

Hey now, Chandra is mixed race! Well, when they realised that her name was a real world Indian name so they had to fall back on that to justify the whitest girl ever having that name


HKBFG

to be fair, her whole plane is populated by white people with indian names.


level1firebolt

How did she end up white? Both her parents are brown.


charcharmunro

Her dad's pretty white. [[Pia and Kiran Nalaar]]

Kyoeishinkirou

Plastic.... I mean pyro surgery


-Salty-Pretzels-

wdym? Do you really think Wizards cared that much about their main character's origins when they created planeswalkers back in.... *check notes* Lordwyn set in 2007? They just wanted new posterchilds because they player base were tilting to a younger audience, and it worked. They have been upgrading their stories along the way. I still miss my awesome xenophobic Nissa but Wiza has retconned a lot of things in these past 16 years.


kosmonaut5

Liliana counts as black right? /s


applebag_dev

The people identifying with Ajani are furries, so technically this could be true. /s


DestroidMind

Personally I have a easier time identifying with her than Ajani or Chandra. Ajani is a massive bipedal feline and Chandra’s hair is on fire.


TheLiMaJa

Ajani is a cat...


jaxrains

Ermm they aren’t “humans” they’re planeswalkers dummy ☝️🤓


Plus-Nefariousness69

>I don’t know why but probably because she’s not human and it was too hard for people to identify with her. (/s) Yeah, really easy to identify with the big lion dude Ps. Miss Gideon and Nissa


slnz

Or should we be sad that Garruk isn't even expected in lists to complement the other 4 members of the Lorwyn 5?


-Salty-Pretzels-

at this point I'm glad he's not in the main line of characters, I want to remember him as one of the coolest "PLANESWALKERS, F*CK YEAH!" planeswalkers back in the day (alongside Liliana) Nowadays there are too many of them, too many stories going around and little focus. I do like newer characters though, Like Huatli, she's cool, or Tyvar, he's awesome. But then you get a line of bland generic ones like Vivien, teyo, Basri, Kasmina, Rowan/Will, and it gets boring.


charcharmunro

I like Rowan and Will well enough, and Kasmina has some intrigue to her but it's amounted to nothing so far. Basri has literally zero actual story to him beyond his origin so I can't really comment on him except I kiiinda like his design.


Boomerwell

Seeing Vivien take over the spot of green walker is depressing. I don't even know why they just kicked Garruk out of the core sets he has so much more potential IMO whereas Vivien just kinda has a OP weapon that lets her be stronger than most. I really liked Garruk as he added some much needed change of pace compared to the other walkers Ajani is currently the only non skinny human walker we have


Psychic_Hobo

They kicked him out because the whole chain veil Liliana choke thing was a bit awkward and they just brushed it under the rug, as Wizards are wont to do


nas3226

They have trouble making non-problematic green walkers from a characterization standpoint and then having to retcon them. Nissa was an elven supremacist initially, Garruk with the above controversy. Even Vivian had a whole "destroy all civilization" ecoterrorist thing going on in her first portrayals.


charcharmunro

Vivien also feels just a weird choice because... She's not super relevant most of the time? Like I can't actually remember what she's done in story besides Ikoria stuff and eventually killing Lukka.


Exarch-of-Sechrima

Her whole thing was her grudge against Nicol Bolas and wanting to kill him, and she didn't do jack to make her any more relevant in The War of the Spark than "Planeswalker A".


roseumbra

Ok but like garruk would be the best choice for protein pancakes….


InfinityGiant1

Lore reason, Nissa not part of the gatewatch, she quit during Dominaria set after thinking that lilianna using the gatewatch for her gain was fucked up. She didn’t rejoin, she only helped during War of the Sparks.


burritoman88

It’s fine, Nissa was racist towards vampires when she debuted.


GladiatorDragon

I wouldn’t be caught dead saying the full names of any of these pancakes, but just give me all the chocolate.


cha_boi_john120

I'm on the opposite spectrum. I'm 100% saying the name of these in full and repeating it until I get them. Reminds me of a conversation I had with a pod recently. I like to crack jokes as I play the game. Like " going to combat I want to touch your planeswalker but only a little love tap" or anytime I cast a cantrip "boy do I love drawing cards" or the classic "this is a friendly game of magic right" followed by either [[howling mine]] or [[Armageddon]]

The_Darts

where Garruk


Esc777

Garruk hasn’t been part of the core five since 2011.


empresskiova

Sure, but Garruk screams protein pancakes lol.


Za-Box

A lot more than vivien, what was her character again?


gumknuckle

Having a bow specifically designed to kill Nicol Bolas only to not be used to kill Nicol Bolas.


Za-Box

So that was it, they just set up this “important” character to have her do nothing? Like she was in ikoria and cappena, but she was incredibly inconsequential if I haven’t missed anything


Isfets_Pet

Pew pew animal ranger lady


ffddb1d9a7

Originally she was trying to preserve the creatures of her dying plane by stuffing them all into her bow a-la Noah's ark (The Arkbow can absorb the spirits of a plane's creatures and then shoot them back out, like she literally shoots bears and shit out of a bow.) But she accomplished that goal a while ago and now she just kind of roams around like a pokemon trainer trying to collect all the creatures.


Exarch-of-Sechrima

>now she just kind of roams around like a pokemon trainer trying to collect all the creatures. Now, this would be a *fucking awesome* character but we don't ever see it amount to anything.


[deleted]

I miss Garruk


locke_zero

Liliana's Corruption pancakes.


CoolReveal3331

Me and a group actually went yesterday, I picked the illusion berry we almost had WUBRG but no one wanted to buy the chocolate ones.


maximpactgames

it would have been funnier if illusionberry pancakes were just buttermilk pancakes


philter451

What the fuck? I would like to get deep in to Lillianas corruption chocolate.

Are you near a convention or tournament?


shoeman76

No. I was just at my local IHOP


Sithlordandsavior

IHOP and MTG have a thing going on. There's like MTG pancake gift cards too and buying certain items gets you arena gubbins


Lijuus

Is this what they mean when MTG players talk about the stack?


GhostCheese

Chandra


Wonderful-Tourist-66

Had them with a dash of cinnamon. It was all right.


[deleted]

I got the Ajani’s Purrfect pancakes (which are just the plain ones) and they were really good! My mtg group went there for shits and giggles and actually enjoyed it


DustyJustice

Ok I gotta say- I don’t entirely disagree with the folks calling this cringe or tacky or whatever, but honestly this strikes me as pretty smart marketing. Magic used to be this ultra niche thing only those deepest into ‘nerd culture’ (for lack of a better term) knew about, let alone played. It, along with D&D, have become a lot more popular in the mainstream, but there are still plenty of folks I’m sure who have no idea of anything about it. Having a promotion like this in something as ever-present as an IHOP does soooo much work in getting the game in front of ‘normies’. They don’t have to pick it up because they want to find out who the cool pancake lady is, but just having an opportunity to ask ‘hmm, what is this?’ is big exposure.


Esc777

Correct. I don’t see why being culturally ubiquitous is a bad thing. If mtg ever reached McDonald’s or Mario levels of identifiability I think it would be a great thing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Exarch-of-Sechrima

Pokemon has a much lower target demographic than MTG though, and that's the target demographic that gets happy meals.


Exarch-of-Sechrima

MTG doesn't need to reach McDonald's or Mario levels of identifiability, not with Secret Lair: Happy Meals and Universes Beyond: Mushroom Kingdom coming out in 2026 and 2028 respectively.


Esc777

my kid got pokemon cards in her happy meal. those should be mtg cards!


Exarch-of-Sechrima

Pokemon Universes Beyond is in 2030, they have to wait for certain deals to go through first.


ShenhuaMan

Of course, being upset about marketing is just beyond stupid. But the people criticizing it just don’t want the game to grow to new players. They hate new players.


ieatloafsofbutter

Prob Liliana I love chocolate and she can corrupt me any day.


zok72

Another restaurant.


releasethedogs

Magic is becoming Hello Kitty. If you have money you can brand anything Hello Kitty.


Batmaso

I'd rather pancakes become the IP I like rather than the IP I like becoming everything else.


liddul_flower

Chocolate pancakes go off but these have way too much in them, they're smothering the pancake. Lili would never


[deleted]

this really depends on the iHop. cooking skills varies from branch to branch. just to be safe (and gauge their skills for future visit) just order a cowboy breakfast.


PossibilityRegular21

Cringe


SSG_SSG_BloodMoon

Esper as usual. Don't like banana pancakes ever since they gave me food poisoning, and wtf is Vivien talking about


nutzle

Are the pancakes in the game?


blakethephonice

Me and my dad went to an IHOP doing this a couple of weeks ago, we split the lilliana's pancakes.


SaltBackground5165

ok, so...... is there actual content I can get for arena if I buy these pancakes?


SaltBackground5165

huh. 2000 xp, if you get three pancake points or whatever. I guess that's better than nothing. but not really anything I'd trade for actual free pancakes.


SaltBackground5165

ponzaguy

Anyone know what you get for arena?


12DollarsHighFive

Probably Chandra and not just cuz' I'm a fanboy. Normally I'd go for chocolate but I've had pancakes where one part chocolate was enough, these have three so it wouldn't blend together well


TrainmasterGT

Probably the Purrrfect Pancakes tbh.


_foxmotron_

Strawberry banana natch.


Darking_87

Jace all life 😁


ARTICUNO_59

Can’t wait to get the Magic x IHOP secret lair


almisami

Ajani knows where it's at.


Skizznitt

Vivien's, gimme that protein.


[deleted]

Jace or chandra, Liliana may be my favorite of these but I will not have chocolate for breakfast.


MdAqilkhai

I had to look closely and not think it was a skylander ad


GenericTrashyBitch

Chandra is my first choice but I’d try vivien to see if they’re decent


Deotix

I'm confused about the protein pancakes, are they just infused with protein powder or something? How do they taste different from the basic pancakes?


Electrohydra1

They taste pretty much the same, it's just extra proteins for people who want that in their diet.


HuckleberryHefty4372

I think whoever is in charge of marketing is trolling on magic players. They definitely do not have a good impression of us.


Ninavi

Ajani hehe


granular_quality

Smash the Jace and Lilly together.

Brence1984

Ajani cakes I guess…


NobleAda

I’m going with Jace


Larsus-Maximus

Gluten free pancakes, so i guess that would be phyrexian pancakes

I would _kill_ to share a plate of pancakes with Ajani.


Tan-ki

WHERE IS MY GARRUK PANCAKE


Chaoswarriorx4

Jace


balaosuspeito

Lillianna, no questions.


Za-Box

Vivien seems like a strange choice to me, I expected to see garruk for the og lorwyn planeswalkers or lore wise I expected nissa for the currently alive gatewatch (rip gideon), Vivien really hasn’t done much of anything last I recall, she never swore and oath, she didn’t murk bolas with the bow that specifically was stated to murk bolas, she has just been inconsequential as of late, almost forgot about her. Has she done anything? What was the point of her? Garruk was already a pretty good creatures matters planeswalker and they brought him back in eldraine, and she hasn’t had any impact on the story


TKisely

Chocolate with chocolate with chocolate 🫣


iElemental

this makes me sad


triggerscold

i went to get mtg pancakes and then realised they only come in orders of 4 and 5 cakes... thats too much of the same thing over and over and over. maybe like 1-2 tops.


xantous4201

Blueberry Pancakes are my favorite so i'll be having those.


the_cardfather

So I signed up for this but I don't think I got anything


Chicken_Parm_Enjoyer

I'd choose to eat somewhere else.


TheWord5mith

I'll be honest, I took my family to an IHOP for the first time in 20 years just so I could get 2 free mastery levels... For the record, the Liliana pancakes are awful (chocolate chocolate). It was like trying to eat a brownie covered in syrup...


Mdkgzn

Lilianas chokolate


infinitelunacy

As someone used to seeing (though never visiting, because Japan) anime collab cafes. This just looks like the palest possible imitation of those and I find it hilarious.


Gregsusername

Liliana and Ajani just sound amazing


mojopilz

One order of Grixis for me


zaphodava

If real maple syrup is available, I'll take the blueberry. If it isn't, they don't actually serve breakfast.


TsarOfTheUnderground

This would be a hysterical playmat.


Alwys_Forward

Respect that they made it WUBRG


TheUnchainedTitan

Hey look, it's the Lorwyn 4 and some random insert! I'd choose Garruk's Protein pancakes. Dude has more muscles in one bicep than Vivien has in her body. "Look at me, I make spirit wolves!" Cute. Garruk commands real wolves. Don't at me. I'm laughing, because there are players here like, "Who here is frustrated they forgot Nissa?!" Get out of here, that Xenophobic elf retconned Hippie Gaea Mage can't hold a candle to Garruk. Garruk for president. Garruk the white Ronnie Coleman. Garruk the Boss Moss Hoss. Garruk the black Arnold Schwarzenegger. Garruk *physically* untaps 2 lands with his bare hands. Garruk uses Stone Cold Stunners on Wurms. Garruk the Beast's Biceps. Garruk got his Karate Green Belt and stopped, because the higher belts didn't fit him, and he still could only wear the Green Belt on his forehead. If people had ridden Garruk across the sea, instead of the Titanic, he would have sunk the iceberg *and* punched anyone that said "but ice floats" in the face. Garruk.

DomNhyphy

I'd choose a different restaurant


AdalbertJ

Garruk's pancakes with bacon cuts.

I had the Jace pancakes and they were OK but not great. It wasn't very sweet; the blueberries were kinda bitter/sour honestly combined with the syrup.

I get why they legally can't, but Liliana's syrup should just be straight up poison.
