They do, I've looked into it. Delay is a .10 card, French delays are 1.00, foil French delays are 20ish

FreelanceSocialist posted:I'm struggling with an answer to Stormbreath in my Boros deck. Is celestial flare my best bet? Depends on how heavy the red in your deck is, but I would probably run Mizzium Mortars unless you really can't afford to take that first hit. If you can't afford that first hit, Blind Obedience or Imposing Sovereign will give you that extra time to untap and use Mortars. Stormbreath decks will almost always play around the Celestial Flare on the attack, but you can usually get them on the block if you must run it.

Hmm... too restrictive if you actually need to own the card. How about "from your hand, graveyard, library, exile, or the limitless reaches of your imagination"

Then I shall cast Thrumming Stone from my hand, and then the Biovisonary from my hand, causing me to Ripple 4, and play the remaining three Biovisionaries from my deck. Your move.

I've been killing them with Satyr Firedancer + Boros Charm or Chandra's Phoenix + Searing Blood but that's not extremely reliable. Most games where I beat a Stormbreath Dragon is just me racing it.

Heart of the Cards 0 Enchantment Heart of the Cards cannot be countered or destroyed. You cannot gain mana. When ~ ETB, name a card. Place the top card of your library onto the battlefield. It is the named card. You lose the game at the beginning of your next upkeep.

You've got advantage over the already with the main deck and adding another 3 mana 4/5 damage spell really doesn't add to much. You really want to side in the Firedrink Satyrs and go low with them siding out any number of removal spells. The G/R Monsters matchup is the worst and were you want to be devoting that sideboard slot but I'm really at a loss on what it should be. One of the changes I've been reading about is turning the Ash Zealots main into Chainwalkers to be able to attack through Caryatid.

As much as I really hate Conflagration's mana cost, it kills both Polukranos and Reaper of the Wilds for the same mana it takes to cast them, as well as killing every single walker in standard besides Vraska when Boros charm wouldn't. If it didn't fall just short of killing Desecration Demon it would probably see more play.

Heart of the Cards - 0 Instant Heart of the Cards is all colors. Heart of the Cards cannot be countered. Search your library for a card and put it on top of your library. Your opponents cannot cast spells this turn. At the end of turn you lose the game. Draw a card. Exile Heart of the Cards.

You'd want to pull Satyr Firedancer and 4 Searing Blood though, add 4 firedrinkers, might as well throw in 3 more burn spells that punch hard against control right? Or were you suggesting adding 3 chainwalkers to sideboard to swap for zealots against GR monsters?

A grown man in a fedora pitched a huge fit about losing to my friend's gooflord control brew at Game Day. It was embarrassing to be around. Went 2-2 in my first time playing in a month. Got a control mirror (aka the Game of Kings) out of it, so I'm happy.

One of the teachers from my old High School plays at my LCS, it's pretty embarrassing when he loses to "bad decks" or "bad cards". You'll here him yelling all through the store. I mean it's entertaining to be the one to set him off, but it's embarrassing to see a grown man freak out so much over wizards poker. He also now goes on leaves from teaching every few years to play actual poker professionaly.

I set a couple people off with bad cards at a sealed GPT like a month or two ago. Winning off Stymied Hopes or blowing up a Mistcutter Hydra that they could only afford to play for 3 (had to spend other mana removing nonblue threats) with a Flamecast Wheel got people hella grumbly. Complain more while I go undefeated in the swiss, nerds.

If you turn Sorin, Lord of Innistrad into a creature via Mycosynth Lattice and March of the Machines, does he become a legal target for his ultimate because it only says "other planeswalkers", not "other creatures"?

If Sorin, Lord of Innistrad is still on the battlefield when that ability resolves, it will then destroy Sorin and return him to the battlefield under your control. Always check the rulings, they're usually pretty good about stuff like this. My favourite will always be equipping a planeswalker onto another planeswalker, though. e: whoops, while the ruling above is true I don't think it applies in the case you illustrate, since he's an Artifact Creature Planeswalker - Sorin, as Tharizdun points out. a dozen swans fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Mar 3, 2014 |

No because he's still an "Artifact Creature Planeswalker - Sorin" since I don't believe he stops being a Planeswalker in addition to being an Artifact (similar to how a theoretical "Snow Planeswalker - Lim-Dul" would still be Snow if he were to wake up)

He's not a creature, and he's not an "other planeswalker." If he somehow becomes a creature, then he IS a legal target of his ability, since he's a creature, and it doesn't specify that he has to target an "other creature," just a creature, which he is.

So Wizards made a draft simulator thing I guess, but it only supports M14 at the moment, but I decided to try it anyways. Turns out it's the best draft simulator ever made because it even simulates cards from the wrong set showing up in a booster pack. e; turns out I'm dumb and demolish was also printed in M14. Shows me for never drafting a core set. e2; why do they keep printing demolish? RME fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Mar 3, 2014 |

Samael posted:Sleevechat- Got my first dragonshields in the mail today and I switched over from ultrapro and wow they are so much better. They shuffle so much easier and feel much better quality, never buying another ultrapro product again. I highly recommend anyone looking for new sleeves to get the new Hyper Matte sleeves from KMC, they shuffle so drat well, riffle shuffling is great with them too. The finish on the back of the sleeves feels FANTASTIC, if you're that type of person who double sleeves, they're a great option for that as well. Overall I'd say the Hyper Matte's are the best card sleeves every made since now.

My Modern deck is a mono-white enchantment prison deck, and I wanted to get 20 of a Plains to put in the deck. Since it's already a troll deck, I got the best troll lands. Portal Second Age art, modern frame, white border. Right?
