What's the difference between Modern and Legacy? Just an available card pool?

Is there any reasons to play Modern over Legacy or Legacy over Modern?

This is probably dumb, and nerdy but is there any places that sell MTG wall art? I'd love to get a black framed "Damnation" piece and throw it in on my dining room wall.

This is probably a noob question but if I attack with Aurealia and 3 other creatures and then I untap them and attack again can I then cast Relentless Assault and attack two more times per Aurelia's ability?

Eeeee, that's sick. So would this be possible then? (I play R/W Soldiers EDH)

Aurelia + creatures attack
Cloudshift before second combat phase
Arurelia + creatures attack
Flash in Restoration Angel to essentially Cloudshift Aurelia
Aurelia + creatures attack
Aurelia + creatures attack

***end turn***

My playgroup just started playing Pauper commander, actually I think it's Peasant. 1 Uncommon commander, 9 uncommons and the rest commons. It's probably the most fun I ever had playing.

I went with UW build and Azorius Guildmage as my commander. I made it a Governement/Police style deck so I have the "detainer"guys in there, anyone who can tap creatuers and alot of ETB/flicker effect instants. It was a freaking blast to play and it seemed like everyone was on about equal footing vs. our normal commander games where the same 2-3 people win because they shell out money for any kind of card imaginable just for casual style play.

I wonder if my LGS does any kind of Pauper/Peasant commander leagues like they do with regular, I'd join that in a heartbeat

My first rare was Odric, Master Tactician and it's because I bought the starter deck. Yup, I'm that new to MTG.

I'm 33 so I remember the game in the Alpha and laughing and making fun of my friends for playing a stupid card game, yet here I am 20+ years later obsessed as ever w/it while they sold off their collections 15+ years ago.

I wonder if I would have had any staples if I started w/them when they did

I actually wanted the Shards of Alara, Rafiq but I couldn't find one.

I like Elspeth because in addition to Rafiq my first deck ever was Mono White soldier based so with having all Elspeth's in my deck she and Rafiq are two of my absolute favorite MtG characters.

Has anyone tried playing maze's end fog lately? I put it together on modo last night and made a build using 2 kioras and 3 dictate of kruphix and did surprisingly well. One guy said it wasn't "real" magic and before quitting on me, which is nice.

The amount of babies on MODO is astounding. I only play EDH (lol) on MODO and the amount of times I've been quit because I got a turn 1 sol ring is astounding. I'm sure it has to do with the anonymity of online but I've been called and told incorrectly that MODO is broken because "real magic doesn't work this way" numerous times.

Also, counterspelling things is a huge cause of ragequits in my experience

Pretty sure the new iteration of MODO has broken Ninjutusu. The second I attack it won't let me Ninjutsu anything in if they don't declare blockers. It just goes to the damage step.

You do have a stop in the Declare Blockers step on your turn?

It used to allow me but it passed right completely right now.

I attack with invisible stalker......hit ok

MODO asks player to declare blockers which he cant

Then before damage was assigned I used to be able to activate ninjutsu, but it just skips right to the damage dealt if he declares no blockers

I ordered some cards for my mono G devotion standard deck because we're finally having a standard tournament here this weekend (FNM is all sealed all the time and LGS rarely runs any other events). Unfortunately nothing is getting here because of forest fires so my deck will be a lot shittier. At least I have 3 Nythkos.

Also, there's a gaming group running a 1v1 EDH tournament next weekend and I've got no time to get any cards; LGS doesn't really sell singles. I'd love to make a Norin deck because that sounds fun as hell, but I don't think I could make that competitive for 1v1 with what I have. Is there a good 1v1 URGish commander who doesn't need any specific cards? Was thinking of maybe going Wort, The Raidmother. I've never played EDH so I don't really know what the format's like.

Commander is great with your friends only. I wouldn't have any interest in joining random games at your LGS with people you don't know. The people who seem to hate it the most are babies who take it too seriously and play with the goal of winning.

If you got 4 friends who just casually like sitting around shooting the poo poo and drinking it's really fun and relaxed.
