AcidCat posted:Another question, can you still play cards exiled by Brainstealer Dragon once the dragon has left play? Yes, the playability is granted by the exiling effect rather than coming from a static ability on the dragon. Compare that card's wording to Nightveil Specter, for example, which does not allow you to do so.

You still require a Dauthi to have access to those cards, but it doesn't have to be the one that did it.

oh i meant in terms of buying packs vs 'having a draft,' idk how much overhead the lgs adds because i don't play in paper and don't know how much a draft pack of outlaws of thunder junction would cost

This is interesting, and honestly unintuitive, I was sure the dragon granted the ability, and since it was gone, where would that ability come from? A follow up similar question, now I think weve been playing wrong, Sludge Monster, if he died we figured the slime counter did nothing, since it was the creatures ability that gave the counter meaning. Same situation?

Ok I think I may have figured it out, its the difference between an activated/triggered ability which will persist and a passive one granted by a permanent that goes away once its out of play. Whew.

Then for a fun one: banishing light and cards like it have a triggered ability that exiles a card, but the clause on the card that puts the exiled card back into play is just a generic "effect". It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to. The card just goes back into play.

I dont get it, use a play example.Banishing light seems very straightforward.

Extra fun: If someone uses a farewell with all modes to exile a banishing light then a creature under it will get freed. If instead it was a glass casket holding a creature then that creature will also end up exiled, because farewell goes artifacts->creatures->enchantments->graveyards, in that order. ^^ ya this is kind of an example. Since it doesn't use the stack at all, the effect works even in the middle of resolving a spell.

Again that seems the normal intuitive play of banishing light, it leaves and the creature comes back? Im tired and half drunk and no idea what u mean, so I am going to bed lol.

Yeah they're nothing like the Mana Crypt book thing, but a couple of them still have some good value like Culling the Weak and Snuff Out.

Glad to see the Manga finally getting translated, the promos are cool but I hope it doesn't end up in something stupid like the manga not being available on release because card chasers bought it only for the promo. I wanna read this series!

You guys usually have great answers so heres another question, Mindbreaker Trap. Mythic rare so this card should be pretty powerful, but I dont get the timing issue, if an opponent cast multiple spells on a turn, say a creature then something else, wouldnt at least the first one resolve before you play this? It seems designed to counter multiple spells but Im not sure how this works in practice.

It seems designed to counter multiple spells but Im not sure how this works in practice. It’s meant to counter Storm effects most specifically, a spell type that makes anywhere from 3 to a dozen copies of itself when cast. Look up Grapeshot. E: It can also ding Cascade spells too, which may have been part of the intent of the card for when it was released.

also note that it can be extremely good even if it's only getting one spell - it's a potentially genuinely entirely free "counterspell" that exiles instead of actually counterspelling and thus can deal with some stuff regular stack interaction can't + doesn't generally allow any possibility of recursion and, while it wasn't the intended purpose of the card, you can also get some wild stacks going in competitive EDH, since the nature of the format pushes people towards both combo wins and the sort of interaction necessary to stop your opponents from winning via combos and you've got twice as many players getting in on the action as usual

Mindbreak can work against greedy decks looking to land a big permanent in one turn with accelerants like ritual/petal as well if they go too hard in one turn. Typically I've found its easy to play around for decks like doomsday but storm can get caught out. Once, after that they play around it even if it isn't in your 75

It seems designed to counter multiple spells but Im not sure how this works in practice. It's for taking down storm and "uncounterable" payoffs by both exiling and allowing any number. Prior to OTJ it had no reprints

Not to exile Breach itself. I meant it's useful against the Breach archetype, but yeah that's Storm. Using it on LED is a bad idea because the average Breach deck has at least two more ways to loop up enough Brain Freezes, and LED will only ever be on the stack alone so you wouldn't be hitting anything else with it.
