Ok, cool, removed magiccards.info and MTGSalvation, added moxfield and autocard anywhere, keep 'em coming

LifeLynx, I'm using your excellent OP as a template and making some significant edits to modernize it and add in a few things. I'll be sure to credit your work. Cool?

Can definitely drop gatherer, and also probably the storefronts cfb and scg. They don't have anything useful not behind a paywal anyway.

I realize Gatherer kinda sucks, but it's the official card DB, I kinda feel like I need to link it. I'll mention that it sucks though.

For CFB, should I just link to Vargas' content instead, e.g. https://strategy.channelfireball.com/all-strategy/author/luis-scott-vargas/? It does seem to be behind a paywall and I feel weird about linking to paid content, as if we endorse it.

For SCG, looks like its "content" tab is also paywalled, but the "news" feed isn't (https://articles.starcitygames.com/news/), is it worthwhile linking to that?

eh, there's so much info available already in better formats that gatherer doesn't need to be there even if it's the official site.

and nah, eff CFB/SCG

including helpful info in an OP is good but too much will absolutely intimidate people, so keeping it (relatively) brief with the absolute best resources only, is good imo

Gatherer is worthless garbage and doesn't even need to be mentioned.

CFB and SCG both have some free articles but yeah I can see them being removed.

Yeah but Scryfall mirrors gatherer's card text exactly while also not being a garbage site.

Edit: if you're judging an event I guess you must use gatherer, but for our purposes it's just better.

Crazy to think how long it's been since I invented this card game and made the first thread about it on these forums. But I barely play Magic anymore, even before the pandemic. They just banned some artifact creature in Pauper that I seriously had no clue even existed, which I don't know if it says more about me being busy or there being too many drat sets.

What is the lore for Rise of the Ants? Are there any Ant cards in the other Innistrad sets? Are there just giant ants now because gently caress you Innistradians your plane sucks? They don't seem to be connected to the celestus or the planeswalkers or the innistrad tribals at all.

You know I am not really your father.





Came back from my Pre-Release event. went 1-2 with a B/W deck. Every deck I played against had 3 colors and they all managed to get them really fast. The win was against someone more new to playing magic live as I was/am. I got to play a nice combo against him though with Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia, Morbid Opportunist, and Unruly Mob. Basically got a 2/2 Zombie at the end of my turn, I would attack next turn, have it die, get to draw a card and also put a +1/+1 on it. I also had Fleshtaker so I was also gaining 1 life and scrying for 1.

It was pretty fun. I signed up for two more events tomorrow.

Oh wow, it might be based around that poster specifically. The card itself has flashback so the ants come out of the earth, and if you kill one two can indeed take its place
