Offset presses don't really like downtime. The more it runs, the more money you make. They only really stop to put in new plates. It wouldn't surprise me if the print house has their production scheduled for the next 6mo-1yr

Heard an odd thing earlier and I wanted to check it out. A guy said that he had it confirmed from a PTQ judge that if you cast Skullcrack so "Damage can't be prevented this turn", a creature with protection can can take damage from a source it's protected from (so long as it doesn't need to target etc) is that right? It seems wrong to me.

And I so desperately want to build a goblin EDH deck. I just haven't found a good commander for it yet that is a goblin and fun. He's really the only thing holding me back from building it. The supporting spells and lands are easy.

My LGS is replacing FNM Standard with Modern because it is way more popular and I am not sure how to go from Standard to Modern. Fetchlands, goyfs and that stuff I know about, but the sheer amount cards available makes it hard for me to build something. I know that my standard deck is legal in modern but it feels like I am going to have my rear end handed to me if I do that. Any help would be appreciated.

Monored is a good enough deck that is fairly cheap. I think only the goblin guides are expensive.

Persist fails if the card isn't in the graveyard when it resolves - so if you order it Persist, Athreos, then Athreos resolves and the card will be in your hand, and Persist will fizzle.

But Athreos doesn't say anything about the location when the ability resolves, so you could do Athreos, Persist, and the card would re-enter the battlefield from Persist, then return to your hand from Athreos. Yeah?

Nah, new object, etc.

If you have just 1 of each and you choose one at random, then your opponent chooses one at random, it ends up as a 50% chance.

Think it might have got lost in the last few pages of questions, but is there any decent replacement for Chord of Calling in a modern Pod deck? It's like the only piece of the deck I don't have, and of course it's the most expensive. It looks like a fun build and I'd love to try it out, but I'm not really interested in dropping like $120 on a playset to test it out.

Clamp is pretty good in limited though. You're either clamping to draw 2 (and burying people in CA) or beefing a guy up to trade above his weight AND drawing 2.

What about if it isn't paid? Then it causes an etb trigger so no evolve?

Kinda bummed it works that way.

I've got a gruul aggro modern deck with 2 flex spots and I'm considering burning-tree shaman, fanatic of xenagos or a sorcery burn spell like pillar of flame/flame slash. It'd be nice if fanatic always counted as a 4/4 for evolve purposes.

I played it last summer basically. So this is pre nacatl unban. I considered splashing white for pte/nacatl but I don't think it is worth it.

T1: E1
T2: BTE into nacatl and vexing devil, swing 4, opponent at 12 (assuming no fetch/shocks), I have 9 power on the board...

Maybe I should put that splash back in.
