Elyv posted:But Mairsil and Ith weren't allies anyway Mairsil put Ith in the cage. If flavor is so dominant a force that it directs the gameplay and not the other way around, like Tarkir having no dragons below 5 mana, I should be allowed to put Ith in the cage with Mairsil, dammit!

Mairsil eating an Aetherling and a Gilded Lotus is infinite mana yeah? Then exile Staff of Domination and go nuts.

Okay, good, I thought maybe Frozen_flame meant another card or something because I could think of at least 3 reasons why that wouldn't work.

You can absolutely use his abilities again after blinking him, this works the same way as other restrictions like that do. Hell, there was just a standard deck that got banned which used that exact interaction!

Aranan posted:Mairsil is like a hamstrung Necrotic Ooze but it can also hit artifacts. There will probably be something busted you can do with him, but it makes me a little sad when WotC puts those kind of restrictions on cards these days. At least they moved away from the verbose and restrictive "When X enters the battlefield, if you cast X from your hand..." jargon. It's not really hamstrung, it takes longer to get going than the ooze but it's a lot harder to stop once it starts. E: does it work with Chandra or Jace?

I love all of the Magus cards, and this is no exception. I especially like how you've got wizards out there whose big spell is just one of these iconic effects--it helps to sell the players/planeswalkers as being really uniquely powerful.

What an awesome card. I'm so glad maguses exist, the flavor is great and it's good to be able to have redundancy on the same types of effects but from different means. Plus being able to frontload the cost makes it strong in some situations where M.D wouldn't, if you can protect it.

This spell Magus cycle that they've been doing in the last few Commander releases is pretty neat. Can't wait for Magus of the Eureka in C18

I misread the card and forgot about the cage counters. Normally a card like this would stop working the way you want it to after flickering it, but not Marsail! Seems like a pretty sweet machine to me.

Is Blue/Black an okay mixture for a beginner? I'm ordering my cards from the Deck Builder's Toolkit and I'm planning to look up deck building 101 on YouTube. The pamphlet with the kit recommended using two different colours saying more could spread your mana pool too thin and a single colour has much more clear cut weaknesses. Based on the pamphlet's descriptions of the colours Blue/Black sounds like it's a great way to make an opponent's life miserable while you whittle them down. I'm a little worried I'm totally incorrect or that to use this colour combination might require more experience and understanding of the finer points of the game. I bought the Steam game and have been playing against the computer to get used to the basics and it's lots of fun!

Blue is probably the most complicated color to play. I think Red and Green are probably the easiest to start with. It really depends on if you have a lot of experience with these kinds of games though. You could pick it up pretty quickly.

You've received some terrible advice. Just play what you find interesting. As a new player you're going to lose a lot anyway so just do what you want and learn from your mistakes. The best part of playing blue black is saying no and throwing what ever the other person is doing in the garbage so it's a lot like posting in this thread, it's great.

http://www.mtgsalvation.com/spoilers/184-commander-2017 says we have all the new cards in Commander 2017, so the only thing left to spoil are the reprints. Still disappointed the Cats are so drat weak compared to the other tribes, but at least it stops me from actually having the urge to play Commander regularly after I build this novelty deck.

You should play blue if you like it just know it will have a greater learning curve. It requires that you have a good knowledge of all the threats your opponent has and when you should correctly use your counters. Red is all about Argo and attacking with creatures and direct damage spells. Green is about ramping into large creatures. I have only been playing for 4 months or so and this thread is a great resource so feel free to ask any questions. If you can find a LGS near you that drafts I would recommend getting into those. It lets you build your card collection while actually learning and playing the game. It can seem intimidating at first but if you let the people you play with know you are new they will be very helpful at least in my experience.

Tainen posted:This is probably really bad but I like the design If you have only Emrakul, The Aeons Torn for creatures in your library, this can't not hit Emrakul. But since Emmy shuffles herself back in as a triggered ability, it can't attach itself to her again. So you also play Kozilek, Butcher of Truth! With at least two it'll just cycle between them each turn.

Tainen posted:This is probably really bad but I like the design It says "destroy" instead of "sacrifice", and there's no "if you do" clause, so it works really well with indestructible/regenerating creatures. I mean, you're better off with token-generating spells and ridiculously huge creatures, but still.
