In a big tournament during Scars block-Innistrad standard, I cast a Thrun and my opponent snap Mana Leak'ed it. I said, "Mana Leak resolves. Thrun?" It's more a case of RTFC, but he was pretty tilted after that.
Last week I had this situation with an Esper opponent who tried to Syncopate my Mistcutter Hydra. The uncomfortable part was when he tried to return his card back to his hand once I had pointed out the Hydra's counter clause, and a judge had to explain to him how it worked. It felt extra sweet, as I was on a mulligan to 4 and managed to scrape out a win in that game. This same game I managed to save a Reaper of the Wilds by using the -1/-1 mode of Golgari Charm - it was in response to an Espleth -3 when he had 3 tokens on board already. :unsmigghh:

MaRo came out of the closet to say:

Pharika is a graveyard as resource card. That’s extremely black/green.

Yes he does. Pharika uses the graveyard as a resource, I don't see where he's wrong. It's pretty weak, sure, but that's what Pharika does, she uses something from the graveyard, to make a permanent. That's what "graveyard as a resource" means.

I've made tons of rules mistakes. Most of them are just noobish stuff though, like using Abrupt Decay on a D-sphere before the Exile ability resolves.

I don't understand the mistake here. Perhaps you're thinking of Oblivion Ring?

When the D-Sphere comes into play, if you destroy it before the Exile ability resolves, that ability is still on the stack, but the LTB effect from the D-sphere can't retrieve your exiled card. It just stays exiled forever.

He's missing the point in that Pharika does the opposite of what every other dredge card being printed wants you to do.

Think keeping it simple W/R Control with 4 mutavaults and some boros keyrunes that can also help end the game or mana ramp. Any splashes should be for removal more than card draw. Keranos sounds awesome but I think I'd want to have the Combo set up asap.

Same username as the twitter which doesn't mean it's not fake so there's that.

I love the ones whining in the comments that they should never print commander cards in standard sets because "they get their own special set!". Because new, powerful cards printed in those decks are so easy to acquire...

I just shake my head at everyone who expects every single rare and mythic to be a $40 standard beast (I want VALUE when I buy 3 booster boxes!) and also can't seem to evaluate cards outside of the context of existing decks. It's not like we can make NEW decks and we don't have to just look for strict upgrades to replace slots in current decks :aaaaa:

He started to search the worlds for items he could steal and that quest took him to the world of Alkabah. He quickly found an artifact of great power that he decided to… liberate, but things went poorly when he discovered the artifact was not unguarded. The Djinn beat him horribly and left him for the city guards. He was taken to prison to serve out his sentence, and part of that punishment was the torturous treatment that permanently stained his hand red, forever proclaiming him a thief.

He was tortured or something on some random world. Also, he's Duck Faygo, so its just part of his charm.

It depends whether they have a last name or not. Ashiok and Xenagos had titles, but Ral Zarek and Domri Rade did not.

Pretty sure the standard is the first glimpse is just their name unless it's a single name, and future iterations get a title.

So Liliana Vess becomes Liliana of the Veil. Kiora is Kiora, the Crashing Wave right off the bat because they decided not to make her "Kiora Atua" out of some consideration to treading too heavily on Maori religious belief.

Pretty sure they tried to explain their guidelines when Kiora's card was first revealed and it wasn't named Kiora Atua. I think basically if the planeswalker has a first and last name, then the first printing of that planeswalker is just their full name. If the planeswalker has one name or has already been printed as first name + last name, then it's First Name, Title. They decided to drop Kiora's last name so she got a title instead.
