Dumb rules question that came up at fnm yesterday: Player A attacks with champ of dusk (4/4) into player B's board of 2x merfolk trickster (2/2) B double blocks with the mt's then divedowns one of them to "save it", sending one of them to the graveyard. This is hideously wrong, as mtga tells me that when they declare blockers, attacking player orders blockers, and then player B has the opportunity to dive down the first blocker, saving both 1 and 2, as champ now puts 4 damage onto the 2/5 trickster. There's no ability to 'save' one of the tricksters, because damage doesn't go on the stack. I'm right, right?

Dr. Stab posted:You can choose to put the dive down on the second trickster if you want. What they did was legal, if a little silly. Right, player b said that the attacking creature would put 2 damage on each creature and then he would dive down one of them to prevent it from being destroyed. Which is impermissible via the rules, due to damage not going on the stack. If you're letting damage happen, the creatures die. And if you dive down the second mt, instead of the first, that's just a straight up misplay, because you know how order of blockers work.

Ate My Balls Redux posted:Someone with more time than me should make a website for goons that lets them rate cards from 1-10 that locks before prerelease weekend because I bet every set would be 1-2 cards with 9 ratings and every other card a 1-3 rating We used to do this in the hearthstone thread for every expansion, and it was great. Nothing like seeing everyone poo poo all over a card for it to turn out to be good and vice versa. Turns out evaluating cards in a vacuum is hard to do, unless they are incredibly broken.

There isn't a provided sideboard, but have a look at this https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2293421#arena thanks to Bryan Gottlieb. Doom fortold + wishclaw talisman is pretty great, I've had many a player try to get cute, use the talisman on their turn with the doom trigger on the stack, pass me back the tailsman, and then having the doom trigger and make them discard the card they searched for.

Look Around You posted:I tried esper dance/manse/stax(where did this nickname come from?) in the play any deck event and it’s absolutely hilarious. "Stax" was a deck that featured Smokestack and centered around resource denial in a prison style deck. Speaking of, I'm in love with the deck, and I saw a bo1 version that featured fae of wishes.

little munchkin posted:Legions End is probably better than cry in the maindeck. Aside from Oko, there aren't really a ton of decks that kill you before wrath hits the board, and you are also running 4x oath of kaya for creature clean up (and the lifegain helps a ton). As for only running 3x doom in the main, drawing multiples is clunky. It's a very good card, but you have to set it up properly. It's not that good if you're behind without oaths/globes/eggs on the board to feed to it. People call it esper stax, but in reality (as per gottlieb) it's really esper dance, as the dance of the manse is the real star of the deck (and your win condition). Regarding the SB should look more like: 4x duress 1 Enter the God-Eternals (WAR) 196 1 Time Wipe (WAR) 223 1 Cry of the Carnarium (RNA) 70 1 Unmoored Ego (GRN) 212 1 Despark (WAR) 190 1 Legion's End (M20) 106 1 Ashiok, Dream Render (WAR) 228 1 The Elderspell (WAR) 89 1 Planar Cleansing (M20) 33 1 Dance of the Manse (ELD) 186 1 Doom Foretold (ELD) 187 (and some amount of Mystic Dispute?)

They planar cleansing'd twice for little to no effect, and in the final turn, I wished for a veil of Summer to keep my teferi alive. It felt really good to resolve ego and basically win the game on the spot.

At mine, FNM is always draft with 8-16 people, Modern is lucky to get 8, and Standard never fires as a sanctioned event but sometimes they get 4 people and do 3 rounds round-robin. Ours does, only because we bring 3 people, and the place runs it with 4-6 people. It loving feels horrible compared to the "good old days" where we would have 20+. I'm old.

BizarroAzrael posted:You're right on Embercleave and it bears investigation but I'm just concerned I'll have a couple and not enough board to cast them. Dunno what Regisaur is for though? T1 or 2 dork + Reggie on T3 sets up for a T4 Embersaur, I mean embercleave on the Dino for lethal. It's pretty great when it happens, and by itself embercleave is a very problematic card once it hits the table (even if you don't get in with the big Dino).

While I am a broken man for liking the rebel mechanic during when masques was in standard, rashidian port was a terrible loving card, full stop. Absolute garbage and just served to draw out games and color screw multicolored decks. You would randomly win and lose games due to how many of the 4 ports you drew, vs. How many your opponent drew.

Entropic posted:LOL it's "stickered" on top of a blue-white card. Just to refresh my memory, this was the designer search question which posited what colours should a flying vigilance 4/4 gold creature be? And the correct answer was g/b, because flying was secondary in black, as was vigilance in green. And that there was some reasoning as to it not being w/u, because each of those abilities are primary in those colours, which means it could also be a blue card or a white card (but not a w/u card, apparently)?
