You don't get to take the duals for free. They're drafted as part of the pack.

I finished KCI combo. that deck is stupid. I played awful and went 3-1 at the modern event at my LGS tonight. My single loss was to Jund. I feel I had a chance even in that match barring a bunch of misplays on my part. The deck is fun to play but I'm sure being on the other side of the table is loving awful. I'm going to play it enough to hopefully do well in a $1k event at the end of the month and then not torture people at my LGS. I feel like this is a deck that warps the meta to devoting a ton of sideboard slots against it like Twin did and they'll either try to update the rules to take away the overpayment "trick" or just ban something.

For those that aren't aware, the overpayment trick is that if you're doing something that requires a mana payment, you can use as many mana abilities as you want while you're doing that, and any non-mana triggered abilities won't get put on the stack until afterwards. So for example, you can sacrifice two Myr Retrievers to KCI, and each one will be able to pick up the other (since they're both in the graveyard when the triggered abilities actually go on the stack). You couldn't do that without the overpayment trick. Now, the whole main reason you can even use mana abilities while you're casting something in the first place is that back in the day, people were real sticklers for rules, and judges were handing out DQs for putting your spell on the table before tapping your lands. So they reworked the rules so that actually, doing things in that order is totally fine. Nowadays though, they wouldn't have had to do that, since it would have all been fine under out-of-order sequencing. So they could just get rid of it entirely, which would also solve some other unintuitive interactions. You'd still have complications with paying mana as part of the resolution of a spell or ability though.

If overpaying to sac myr retrievers for free is a problem they'll ban cards not change the rules. Any rule change that prevented it would be extremely messy and basically nonfunctional on mtgo

Holy poo poo that basic land slot thing is a loving catastrophe waiting to happen. If someone trains packs in a draft at an LGS and something goes wrong it's going to be impossible to sort poo poo out when some packs start with 14 cards and some with 15. Hopefully everyone zone drafts locally!

uPen posted:If my basic land gets replaced by a common dual and I get another common dual in a common slot can I take both and pass a 12 card pack first pick? that can't happen, they ONLY show up in the basic slot honestly, every LGS will just tell players to leave the Bolas token in and be done with it.

New rules update is out. As usual, there's nothing particularly interesting, but it fixes the Squee/Ixalan's Binding interaction, for those of you who play Standard but don't play with Bomat Courier

So can you cast squee from under binding now or not? Follow up question, can you do it on mtgo anyway?

This "new" way used to be the old way, as there was something to do with the Hunted creatures from original Ravnica interacting with a card like Homeward Path. (Thought it was Brooding Saurian, but it says non-token for I believe exactly this reason) Edit: motherfucker ^ I had this written out for ages but was making sure I didn't wanna comment on anything else.

As far as I understand it, M25 is the only recent set sold in EU that was printed on the US, so shouldn't affect much. American cardstock is typically the worst, so we (EU) should be ok.

This does not appear to be a reversal or a reversion to the "old" rules. Forbidden Orchard, Hunted creatures, etc. typically are oracle worded with "opponent creates", so they would still be owned by your opponent. The edge case of playing a Hunted creature, but stealing the tokens with Crafty Cutpurse is changing. While the player that the tokens come into play under changes (which would have previously changed the ownership), the "creating player" does not (so, now your opponent will still own the creatures they create under your control).

They're standard legal only in Mainland China, but sold worldwide iirc. The point is to break into China's market but I think magic is already played in Taiwan. It's deliberately bad cards with new art and names but all functionally worse than what you could play in standard. I feel like making a lot of deliberately bad cards is a good way to turn people off of magic not to mention they have the awkward "legal only in mainland china" text, but who knows why WOTC does what they do.
