My friend made a deck that potentially gets you a DUI if you don't concede immediately, and that was the height of un sets for me. I don't see any un set ever giving anyone the tools to top that.

they made an active choice to stop making un- cards that force your opponents to do things, so yes

cam just got the nearby planet and urza's fun house combo off for infinite mana, played opening ceremony, and opened a pack of kamigawa neon dynasty and pulled a reality chip from it (in his red/blue deck)

If I Commandeer a Mind Break trap can I change it so it doesn’t target anything if the stack after Commandeer resolves only has the one spell I want to cast and Mind Break trap on it? I’m assuming so (any number of target spells turns into 0) but not sure.

It won't be at resolution time, but it is during Comandeer's resolution, which is when you would choose the be target.

Interesting, so you need a target even tho it says "any number of target..."? That number can't be 0? Comandeer doesn't switch targets, it takes control, so we figured any decisions about targeting don't happen until after resolution. We assumed the only thing you needed to declare when casting Comandeer was which spell you're targeting, not any of the changes you'll make once you take control). At least that's how we read this from Gatherer: After Commandeer resolves, you control the targeted spell. Any instance of “you” in that spell's text now refers to you, “an opponent” refers to one of your opponents, and so on. The change of control happens before new targets are chosen, so any targeting restrictions such as “target opponent” or “target creature you control” are now made in reference to you, not the spell's original controller. You may either change those targets to be legal in reference to you, or, if those are the spell's only targets, the spell doesn't resolve for having illegal targets. When the spell resolves, any illegal targets are unaffected by it and you make all decisions the spell's effect calls for. fadam fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Oct 3, 2022 |

Lone Goat posted:0 is a number, so yes you can pick 0 targets You can when you cast mindbreak trap, but Fadam didn't, he cast commandeer which let's you change targets, not rechoose the number. quote:115.7a If an effect allows a player to “change the target(s)” of a spell or ability, each target can be changed only to another legal target.

In addition to giving you control of the spell Commandeer gave you the ability to change those targets, but that doesn't let you choose zero targets, it instead let's you change one or more of the existing targets. But luckily for you one such target is still available: Commandeer itself.

That's not technically it, it's a weird edge case of the rules that makes it so that a spell that has targets can't change to having no targets. But you can still fizzle it by pointing it at Commandeer, so it hardly makes a difference.

A bit later they ended up in a situation where Mark Rosewater had to rule that you can’t use a tarp to hide a person (to deactivate a line-of-sight effect). This is truly the rules change that will finally kill Magic.

If I start to read pretty much any Unfinity card my eyes go out of focus and glaze over before I finish reading the card and I start doing something else. It's like my bitter middle aged brain can't enjoy a goofy just for fun card anymore.  I don't think I'll ever read what the rules on stickers are either.

If there's anything I learned watching the LLR Preprerelease, it's that casual magic is absolutely not about reading cards, so you'll do just fine.

this is probably the best What The Deck they've ever done, Double vs Nothing. the platonic ideal of magic, but it never turns out this way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdEU2LBI9I8&hd=1 and the highlights reel, but a good chunk of the actual stream was fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKUwEGXxtjU&hd=1
