"Della? Take a lid"
Am I wrong or does template switch between "choose one" and "choose up to one"?

Is there a significant difference there?

Choose one forces a choice, choose up to one means you don't have to choose anything if you don't want to.

here come the planes
usually you'll see "up to one" templated so that you can still cast the spell with zero targets, so that if (say) you had a spell that would put +1/+1 counters on a creature and draw a card you could still draw without pumping your opponent's creature if you didn't have any

Best I can usually find is searching youtube for the deck name sorted by most recent and then filter out the no name videos. That being said I'm pretty sure Jeff Hoogland has the most up to date play through a modern league so it's going to be difficult to watch on several levels. I just finished burn to get into modern night at my store a few weeks ago and am in the same spot

No! I'm in school full time and I'm still not the best student so I'm super busy but I'm cised to play over break now and for Xmas.

I'm really looking forward to it BC modern and legacy nights are the only ultra competitive nights and I want to practice for larger events

Yeah same. Dunno if your LGS is doing one but Store Championships are Dec. 4-5 this year and mine picked modern as the format. Entering gets you a promo Arbor Elf, top 8 gets a Collected Company and winner gets a Wurmcoil Engine

That's what I assumed the original post meant.

I just don't see how that's punishing fetches. If you wanted this interaction, couldn't you just play fetches yourself?

The game keeps incredibly bloated logs somewhere. (You should clean them out but I always look it up).

It's kinda funny that as recently as Eldraine people were going "oof Questing Beast has eight lines of text", and now looking at the spoilers even loving uncommons have six or seven lines even without reminder text and mythics are like eight lines per side (admittedly Strixhaven was also similar levels)

They need to size down the default font size soon if this keeps going on

It's definitely becoming a problem. I think they need to find some way to expand the scope of the game to open design space instead of coming up with and printing more and more specific scenarios on cards.

I especially hate when a planeswalker hits the field and I have to read its entire book of text to know what it does.

They just need to stop printing poo poo that makes you read and then is also boring imo. Questing Beast is a lot of text but it all kicks rear end.

Hasn't Maro essentially admitted that printing walls of text is a function of running out of design space? If that's so, it doesn't make sense to think it's going to go away any time soon, if ever.

Having no werewolves in Crimson Vow would leave a gaping hole in a tribal format though, what was the alternative? I do think the theming is obviously stronger/better here than in Midnight Hunt, so I'm not saying they did a perfect job or anything, just that dumping every werewolf worth playing in Midnight Hunt doesn't seem like the answer either.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."

Don't think I've seen the counterpart in here:



Kind of odd Olivia's getup is white, and Edgar's is black, figure either Groom's Finery would be red, so it's like both characters are full Mardu, or that both should be each character's non-black color.

Anyway, seems like you're in MCL if you can draft them together, they seem pretty underwhelming on their own, especially with the color requirement for pretty basic equipment.

Also I'll enjoy putting the gown on apparently male creatures. I am British, it's my culture.

Edgar himself is odd, 4 mana lord is bleh, can you get anything out of him dying, giving tokens and flipping back to make them 2/2s? Probably too long to spend on this stuff.

Yeah, at least Questing Beast was good, unlike the worst STX deans with ”ok so basically it’s a blue Gray Ogre” after reading a goddamn ridiculous wall of text effect

For mythics the stuffed text boxes are ok I guess but yeah it’s really starting to be a bit problematic with uncommons and some rares
