I just don't have any deck where I'd want to hold up five mana for that effect.

Yeah I can't really imagine a situation where I'd want to hold up 5 mana for a fog that makes some tokens. Maybe in a deck that's already playing neatly everything at instant speed and is also kinda low power it would be a really strong toolbox option.

To be fair, it can make a LOT of tokens, but I like Arachnogenesis better.

I forget which card but I had a way to put a creature card milled into the battlefield. Seen how both sides were in the graveyard BFM came out. Ill have to get more details. But the mono black warhammer deck thrives on milling and getting creatures out fast.

Sounds like no one's ever been vaporized by a lifegain Aetherflux reservoir deck. I like that because it's five mana to cast in "silverquill" most people usually forget about it and don't expect direct damage to just all of a sudden generate 50 2/1 flyers. MPCfill question. I'm looking to either buy up or proxy a ton of Mirage basics, and I'm having trouble with it's layout to just have it make multiple copies of a single card. Does it only do decklists or am I missing an input command to just do 30-40 of something of a single card?

I know they recently redid the layout of MPCFill so I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can put like "4x" in front of a card name and that should generate the specified number of cards to select the art for

Every time I've seen Inkshield resolve, it's been a "wipe the board or the game's over" situation. It's a lot more than just "some tokens".

Edit: The scenario at that time was opponent had just attacked with creatures to try and kill me, I successfully block take no damage, once they saw that they activated the Reservoir and beamed me for 50. Would that not be in the combat phase? Jiro fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Mar 22, 2024 |

Combat damage is specifically damage from creatures attacking and blocking, not just damage during the combat step.

Jiro posted:Then I totally played that card wrong lol, ooooops. Doesn't matter what phase it is. "Combat damage" is the damage that attacking and blocking creatures do as the first strike combat damage step and regular combat damage step begin. No activated or triggered ability, nor spell, does combat damage.

"Combat Damage" is very specifically damage dealt from the game action of attacking with a creature. a.k.a., I declare a creature as attacking, you declare blockers, and once that's all done, that is when creatures deal combat damage. That's it. Aetherflux Reservoir, even if activated in the Combat Phase, is not combat damage, and cannot be prevented by Inkshield. The Reservoir's damage can, however, be affected by Reflect Damage to hit the controller of the Reservoir itself, which is infinitely more funny. Also, Dream Devourer is useful to be able to foretell both cards, allowing you to not have to worry about stuff like wheels or discard, while also making the cards cheaper when it matters.

Dude what the hell, how has this card not been reprinted and still only around 1.50???? I need to grab like 10 of these.

Unless you cast it at like the beginning of your turn? You can cast it before a spell or ability resolves. You can also cast it before the combat step where damage is assigned. You don't have to cast it that far in advance. E: Aetherflux Reservoir ability is on the stack. Cast Deflecting Swat, targeting Aetherflux Reservoir. Allow the ability to resolve, redirecting the damage to the Aetherflux Reservoir's controller. E2: You don't "target" the reservoir per se, but you got what I meant. You name it as the source whose damage you're reflecting. Batterypowered7 fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Mar 22, 2024 |

They activate Reservoir, you cast Palm in response, Palm resolves, Reservoir activation, which is now the next time Reservoir would deal damage to you, resolves and Palm's effect kicks in.

Batterypowered7 posted:Probably because Deflecting Palm is 2 mana and does mostly the same thing https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=386516 There are subtle differences, though. First, Deflecting Palm prevents damage, Reflect Damage doesn't, so effects that stop damage prevention won't stop Reflect but will stop Palm. Second, Deflecting Palm only prevents damage to you, Reflect Damage redirects all damage a source would deal, to me or anyone else. So Palm doesn't do poo poo to Blasphemous Act, but Reflect Damage does and is also absolutely loving hilarious as well, doing (13*creatures on board) damage to the Act caster. Third, when using Palm to redirect damage, Palm is the source of the damage. Whereas with Reflect Damage, the original source is where the damage comes from. I.E., if you Deflecting Palm a 21/X commander you don't control, it has to be attacking you, and even then the controller takes damage from Deflecting Palm. However, with Reflect Damage, that same commander can be attacking anyone else on board, and then oops, they just commander damage themselves out of the game. So yeah, it is 5 mana, and that's kinda garb in higher-powered games. At the same time, it can lead to very hilarious results. At least, for the person using it anyway.

2/1 with Kitty cat voltron today. Arahbo, Roar of the World continues to be one of the best cat commanders to hang out in the command zone and still make cats super great. I was very close to getting Sword, Helm, and Shield of Kaldra all out but was able to get sword and shield -- that and the other equipments I had on my cats started making my deck go out of hand really quick.

edh can be for good storytelling in a game. my niece wasn't even mad i killed her with 48 cats (and a hundred more waiting for next attack phase) because it was pretty funny for her. Jinnie Fae is just a crazy cat lady throwing horrible transmutated fur balls. Rabble Rousing is an amazing card, and i thought that prosperous partnership being tucked away wouldn't do much. with a token doubler out three cats tapped creates two more cats. it would have probably smelled awful.

It wouldn't radically alter the game, but it would be universally playable due to the very low opportunity cost and I don't think it would make the game more fun to have exist.
