I pulled a serialized card (Teysa, Opulent Oligarch) from a Karlov collector booster the other day. What's the best way to go about getting it graded, if I should choose to go that route?

I think "do x when no name" has potential for more cards, maybe even an ability word

Goa Tse-tung posted:I think "do x when no name" has potential for more cards, maybe even an ability word Is there an element of 'no name on a creature' that isn't just a token? Conceptually this is a great idea (just giving this mechanic to fairies alone would make it worthwhile), but I'm not sure if there's actual mechanical purpose for it.

Tokens are named for their type(s) if it's not otherwise specified right? It's just facedown creatures that have no name?

quote:111.4. A spell or ability that creates a token sets both its name and its subtype(s). If the spell or ability doesn’t specify the name of the token, its name is the same as its subtype(s) plus the word “Token.” Once a token is on the battlefield, changing its name doesn’t change its subtype(s), and vice versa.

Not just cloak and morph and mega morph, but a handful of other cards. Illusionary Mask is my favorite. MrL_JaKiri posted:I'm not sure how the "faeries that steal names" thing would mechanically operate Name is simply a value. You can change it (like with stickers) or delete it at will. Irony Be My Shield posted:Tokens are named for their type(s) if it's not otherwise specified right? It's just facedown creatures that have no name? Yes, but recently the name changed from "TYPE" to "TYPE Token" (so you can't pithing needle Blood to hit Blood Token) Shrecknet posted:Judge! This enchantment will become an Aura whether you put a name sticker on it or not. "Last Voyage of the ________" is kind of a disappointing name though.

Naming a sorcery to deactivate tokens is unintuitive as hell but it is also extremely funny. You can only name cards legal in the format you're playing though and Flesh and Blood was in DGM...

If an effect instructs a player to choose a card name, the player must choose the name of a card in the Oracle card reference. (See rule 108.1.) A player may not choose the name of a token unless it’s also the name of a card.

Given that there's also the rule of "if you both know what card the other person is referring to, don't angle shoot" that's a good rule. It stops angle shooting ("judge, my opponent broke the rules by picking the wrong random card when they had to name something") and also works with the rather unusual edge case of Garth One Eye.

Does that mean you're allowed to just say "4 mana sheoldred" in paper magic if you can't remember the exact name? Are you allowed to look it up if you aren't sure?

If you can describe the card well enough to reasonably identify specifically that card then it counts. You yourself can't look it up though.

distortion park posted:Does that mean you're allowed to just say "4 mana sheoldred" in paper magic if you can't remember the exact name? Are you allowed to look it up if you aren't sure? All that is needed is for you to decribe the card enough that both you and your op understand which card you are talking about. Its been this way for a while. You can say something like "I am naming that creature that does x and is 4/5 for 4, do you agree to understand what I mean?". If you can't remember the exact name you can always over describe it , just the most important part is getting them to agree. Most normal people are totally fine with this because they aren't dickheads. Of course there are still a lot of old competitive players who hate this because angle must always be shot, but I have a very low tolerance for this nonsense. I am going to name "shelly" , if you play loving dumb I am going to call a judge. Pretending you don't know or admitting you are trying to get me to name a card not in your deck is cheating. Let these folks plan their own dairy queen trip.

ilmucche posted:What's modern looking like since fury went? Is it mostly crashing footfalls decks? The RC in Denver had rhinos as ~21% of registered decks (both temur and leyline) and living end made up another good amount, so probably 1/4 or more are cascade decks in these tournaments. Yawgmoth has also had pretty good performance since fury ban.

ilmucche posted:What's modern looking like since fury went? Is it mostly crashing footfalls decks? rhinos, yawg, and amulet at the top. A funny counterbalance control deck doing very well. The domain aggro deck seems decent in a leyline hand, although still clunky without it. The rest is about the same as before.

ilmucche posted:Living end being top tier feels like such a weird place to be in, but I guess it's been that way for a while The cascade decks are crazy strong because they can just play all the free interaction and since they go off on your turn, part of that free interaction is being able to back it up with force of negation when you can't force back. It helps that living end gets to play grief and then when they go off grief you again too, though missing fury definitely hurt that deck

If you look into magic rules it comes up a lot. quote:This is the current interaction between Humility and Opalescence: The type-changing effect applies at layer 4, but the rest happens in the applicable layers. The rest of it will apply even if the permanent loses its ability before it's finished applying. So if Opalescence, Humility, and Worship are on the battlefield and Opalescence entered the battlefield before Humility, the following is true: Layer 4: Humility and Worship each become creatures that are still enchantments. (Opalescence). Layer 6: Humility and Worship each lose their abilities. (Humility) Layer 7b: Humility becomes 4/4 and Worship becomes 4/4. (Opalescence). Humility becomes 1/1 and Worship becomes 1/1 (Humility).

They've announced that the Beyond Boosters they teased back in August for Assassins Creed will, in fact, be Aftermath sized and be published straight to Modern. They upped the total cards in the set from Aftermath to 100, and said that the 7 cards in each pack will be a mix of Assassins Creed cards and modern reprints. For example you're guaranteed at least 3 uncommons, but there are no AC uncommons. They said the stated goal was to introduce new settings too small for a full set while increasing the availability of format staples.
