It really depends on what the spell/land do. We've had a fair number of cards that are effectively half land/half spell, and some are bad and some are eternal staples. e: if the land comes in untapped, it doesn't matter what the spell is, it's probably busted.

Especially what the land can do. The ones that can bolt to enter untapped are staples everywhere. And the ones that always enter untapped are seen almost nowhere, since rotation. Actually I think the best example is Jwari vs. Censor, which have the same "front". Cycle 1 is considered a better upside then "be a tapland".

Hey quick rulings question. Pioneer humans against uw control. I have Adeline, and coppercoat vanguard on board, attacking for lethal and they have 4 open mana. I say go to attackers and swing all, and as I take a breath to say Adeline trigger they say I flash in emperor. I had brave the elements so it didn't matter but does priority pass between turning guys sideways and the trigger on the stack or did my opponent jump the gun? It was better for me that he flashed WE in early because the token wasn't created yet so it could still go either at face or at WE. I would have thought that they could have responded to the token creation trigger but not between.

Why does that play not work with them simply responding to the trigger? Adeline doesn't target; you pick what the token is attacking when the ability resolves.

No, if you've moved to the declare attackers step, declaring attackers doesn't use the stack, any triggers happen, and then the attacking player gets priority. https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Declare_attackers_step

Sorry if the question wasn't clear but my question was if there was a window between saying attack and the Adeline trigger going on the stack.

Essentially, the trigger is on the stack regardless of whether you get the chance to say that it exists or not. If you say "I'm attacking with these things" and your opponent butts in with "okay, I'll <do something>", then unless they say otherwise it's assumed they're acting at the first possible moment after your attack, and your trigger will resolve after they do their stuff. Unless you completely forget about mentioning it before letting your opponent go to blocks. If you do that then your trigger vanishes into the wind as though it had never triggered in the first place.

I did a ton of CMM drafting last weekend, the cost was quite steep but I walked away with plenty of value in cards. On Friday they tried giving folks packs to "trade away" during the game for favors or whatever, but it didn't really work out the way they wanted so Saturday they switched to "pack per kill." On my first Saturday draft, I brought down the entire table and walked away with 5 packs. The table was control->control-> Selesnya Aggro -> me, Rakdos Aggro. So the Selesnya player kept getting countered because he kept playing the scariest thing, my stuff landed safely. After I got the first kill the other two players tried, and failed, to make a deal. Seemed like it would've been real easy for the Selesnya guy to promise a pack in exchange for 3, but they didn't get any agreement and I killed them both the next turn. Third draft I did fine but was the first out. I was still high on cracking 5 packs for ~150 in value, couldn't think straight. My advice for drafting would be two commanders are almost always better than 1. I got a multicolor commander that covered 2 colors that ended up being expensive and useless, going for a cheap white card and the Prismatic Piper would have gone much more smoothly. Signed up for 1 more draft, LGS near me is doing a CMM draft for $35 dollars. Which is less than the packs alone would cost? But it works for me!

Partner is broken (an extra card in hand always is), so it comes as no surprise that that's also the best thing to do in Draft.

https://www.tiktok.com/embed/7262051748439772422 Apparently the dude that opened the Serialized One Ring posted the TikTok vid of him having it in sleeve. Next vid on his profile is him selling it to Posty for like 2.6 mill American. https://www.tiktok.com/embed/7262497951493377285 Warning loud music in the video him meeting up with Post. He waited a long while after everything was done. Good for him, that's pretty smart.

Post is a cool dude, even if his music isn't my scene. I'd sell it to him just to be able to chill and play some games with him. I'd rather sell it to John Darnielle and hang out with him, but I doubt he gives a gently caress about that card

I'd sell to Post just because I'd trust him to actually pay. I feel like anyone else offering for this card would just be a scammy, fake escrow, lawsuit nightmare.

I think the person who pulled it had the right idea, lawyer up and let the lawyers work out the details. Besides, if it went to auction, you could end up with someone like Logan Paul getting it, or at least trying to buy it with his cryptobucks.

For something of that value you'd be dealing with Sotheby's or Christie's or some other big auction house, you're not gonna get stiffed on the check at the end. Of course you would be gambling that the final going price doesn't just beat Post's offer, it beats it by enough to absorb all the fees you're paying to have some professionals handle the auctioning for you.

He didn’t sell it for $2.6m, and you can make sure you laugh at any major personalities posting news articles or engagement bait saying he did because they did no research into that number at all. The guy who said $2.6m made it up and admitted he made it up. https://twitter.com/joemunnshk/status/1686716939299659776?s=46&t=kXAZ-Qb3z8RBvF6h7SysbQ

... but he did sell it to Post, right? I mean, at the end of the day, that it was sold in a direct sale and not through an auction house is the main point of contention, not the final price tag.

Assuming there isn't a legal compulsion to disclose it, nobody in the world would find out what I sold that card for outside my lawyer and my accountant. I wouldn't have put my face in the video without getting paid to do so.

Yes, right. The $2.6m was posted on the seller’s original TikTok in the comments by a random dude, who made it up, and admitted to making it up in the same comment section. It still got sold to Post. But not for 2.6m, and influencers like SaffronOlive etc. tripping over themselves to post an article/tweet about it before checking is just funny to me.

Wizards incentivizing that gambling is bad. But sitting here and being miserable about the fact that the person who did open it was in fact just a regular dude (not a shop opening thousands of packs) and sold it for a fuckload of money that will change his life is just nothing. Be mad at Wizards, not this guy for being the lottery winner.
