Commander Banned List Update:


I'm down with banning Leovold, and all UG commanders. Protean Hulk is just another combo piece, and it doesn't do anything Tooth and Nail doesn't already.

Right as I was thinking about a nofun.dec with Leovold

As to Hulk, he costs less than Tooth and Nail, and is easier to cheat into play, and there's the upside of being able to bring three creatures in (Melira, Kitchen Finks, Viscera Seer, for example). I think it's gonna make some waves.

Did they try to gotcha their opponent while doing so? If they did that definitely is the best self-own.

It's a famous-ish story by Cedric Phillips, with his opponent declaring "Esper Charm, targeting myself", Cedric asking him to confirm, then Cedric calling a judge to confirm, his opponent insisting "Esper Charm, targeting myself", and having to resolve it, with the judge present.

Someone probably has the link to it somewhere, I just am on my phone and can't look it up atm

I believe that the rules don't even allow this to happen this way anymore thank goodness.

I don't like angling for stuff like that, but Cedric gave ample opportunity to realise it, in my opinion. From his initial confirmation, to calling a judge, etc. Could have just said "if you do that, you'll discard two", but at the same time it's not his job to correct misplays.

Blasting Station was also unsearchable for some time

Okay, I can understand Seance and Ęther Vial, they each have characters you can't easily do with a keyboard (I presume that you can manually put in the accented e for Seance and it'd work)

What was wrong with Blasting Station?

I'm looking for some sort of MTG card database that will let me search by a specific ability. Specifically- "pay or do X and return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield" So zombie type like cards i.e. dread wanderer, haunted dead, stitchwing, prized amalgam etc.

I can't find a good MTG card database that will let me search for this ability. Maybe I'm wording it wrong in the search terms, but I've tried a lot of variations. Can someone please tell me how I can locate Standard legal cards with this ability only?

I appreciate the help.

magiccards.info can let you search by text. Not with the EXACT ability, since there's variations on it, but if you include the key words, you should have a good search going.

Rules q: If I got some of those white-bordered perfect fit sleeves, and sleeved only my fetchable lands in them for quicker fetching (while still keeping the others in normal perfect fits), is that legal? I can't imagine it wouldn't be because you can't tell from the back

If the total thickness is different, it's considered marked cards, so it would be illegal. But I imagine that white perfect fits and clear perfect fits would be fine, thickness wise.
To check for yourself, if you have whites on hand, try doing that and seeing if you can shuffle a specific card or three to the top, or even shuffling one among 4-5 cards, and seeing if you can tell which one it is.

Yeah MaRo, it's almost as if most recent changes have been proven to be bad, just as the playerbase thought when they were first announced, as evidenced by you changing stuff back (Core Sets) or just going all the way with the fix (blocks)

Some of the changes like doing shorter blocks were worth a shot but yeah they turned too many other knobs at the same time.

Yeah shorter blocks was definitely a thing I was interested in, hence "going all in with the fix".

I just really don't like this "blaming the fans" approach to stuff, tbh.

The last clause reads, "You may activate each of those abilities only once each turn."

They're going to have to deliver a ruling on that, since it's not clear if you can use them again after blinking him, or if the "once per turn" is applied to the exiled cards

Yes, come back! The OP is way out of date.

Amaz is a streamer that mostly plays Hearthstone but occasionally plays MTG and got the "Celebrity Invite" to the last Pro Tour, made day 2 and went 8-6-2 overall. People act like shrieking idiots about him because they don't realise that having someone with hundreds of thousands of followers stream Magic is good for the game.

Gonna make a post now, and pick changes up in the morning then, hope you folks have some direction for the OP.

Ah that's where I'd heard him from. No surprise on the shrieking idiots part either, thanks.

This kinda thing makes me wish for so much more digital stuff. Eternal has a card that says "When you draw ~, draw a random card", and by random they mean "random card from the game's entire card pool".

Wizards please branch out this thing would own. Give us a thing in a game where we play as Sliver Queen/Overlord/Hivelord/Whatever and we get a free random Sliver every turn. Will it be Megantic Sliver into Fury Sliver, or will it be Metallic into Mindlash?

Hearthstone already exists.

So does Eternal, and it's actually pretty fun.

That was my point. Eternal (and hey, why not Hearthstone) are doing cool stuff with stuff that Magic can't do, and even Magic has shown that it can do fun stuff with itself too (Momir, Unstable, etc), so it's a random urge for them to take further advantage of the digital format that they're already investing some money into.
