It's probably nothing, but has anyone else remembered that Lorwyn/Shadowmoor also had its main plot point be something messing with the day/night cycle?

yeah but it was more seasonal than daily

"it becomes "x" when this comes into play" kinda doesn't work there, it's too sudden, you'd have to do a longer interval or simply state "on turn 1 to 5 it's day, and night ever after" or something

and then make it interesting by allowing you to prolong day or increase night or whatever

Is there any budget friendly/fun modern decks out there that you can show up to FNM and not go 0-4 with?

Our shop is opening up and only doing Modern FNM's for now and as someone who doesn't follow the format is it even worth shelling out $100/$150 just to have something fun to play?

edit oh modern lol no idea

Luminous Mothra card with Power Conduit is my favorite janky combo that came out of Ikoria. It’s like a better undying/persist.

Power Conduit gets better with every new gimmick with counters, it's great

I just picked up what I believe was a very cheap MH2 bundle box at a games expo (£36 I think) just as a little treat. Naturally I open Kaldra Compleat, the main big-ticket card from the set that I had already bought as a single.

But how does rarity distribution work for the set? I opened a pack with two rares, neither are foil or alt art as far as I know. Another had one rare and four uncommon, I think one of those might have been the sketch version

MH2 packs have one slot for a special card like sketch, borderless or retro reprint (its where you get fetchlands from)

"a new token" doesn't have to mean new mechanics

just like there is Gold, Treasure and Etherium Cells that all do the same thing they could also just make a Food token and rename it just for this set

call it "Offering", make the art creepy, and WALLA nothing is broken

I learned Magic via Arena and have never played paper. My girlfriend is interested in trying the game and I think it would be fun to play some kitchen table magic with her since she doesn't play games on PC very much.

Considering I can play standard on Arena and don't care much about deck power level for paper, what's my best bet for having a good time learning the paper game with someone? Should I just buy a bunch of basic lands and a bulk box of cards and we just build a couple of decks from that? Should I buy some packs and see what we end up with?

isn't Jumpstart exactly what you need?

Time Warp with set mechanic is the new Shock with set mechanic.

What was the last Shock with set mechanic anyway? Wild Slash? I'm defining a Shock as R for 2 damage that can go face.

I mean theres also always Lightning Bolts with set mechanic drawback possible (like last set)

Has there ever been a red aggro deck that wanted a time warp effect like that to just give themselves an extra combat phase/opportunity to cast burn to finish off opponents or is that just way too niche?

I only know of combo decks that back in the day tried to shoehorn it in, was a terrible idea obv

You can technically needle any valid card name.

Whether or not that actually does anything, though...

yes the joke is that naming the Blood half of that card needles the Blood token as well, you can't needle tokens otherwise

"vivisect" would have been an infinitely better keyword than "cleave." both more evocative and flavorful

the only way I see Cleave being a rational choice, is if the word itself needed to be as short as possible, so they were left with only bad choices
