Is Colossification worthy to be a rare card? I'm sorry to be unpolite but it just does something boring.
Your âboringâ is someone elseâs âexcitingâ. You canât see why others might not be excited by +20/+20?
@lantern-armory Accounts with "Phyrexia" in the title :P.
Love is made by little cowboys who live in your heart
I was just informed that Zilortha, Strength Incarnate, the buy-a-box promo, would only be available in Godzilla form. If this is the case I would like to express my disappointment. I'm already not a fan of the Godzilla cards, but having black border card that's ONLY available in Godzilla is very disappointing.
It has to do with the nature of the Buy-a-Box card. It seemed a big miss to not have it be Godzilla. It is the only exception of the whole promotion.
It's actually fine. If you play it in casual you can just make a proxy, if you play it in srsbsns, what the fuck do you care, it could be a blank white card called IKRM009 or whatever and it's still the same mechanically.
"You know all those giant monster movies where the monster starts as a human? No, because they donât. Weâre following the flavor of our source material." Actually humans becoming monsters are a fairly common theme across the Tokusatsu genre. It happens a lot in Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, and there was an episode dedicated to it in Ultraman Tiga. Just so you know ;)
Good to know. Innistrad has become the plane of humans that become monsters, so that is where we hit those tropes.
@gus-goose: [laughs in Power Rangers]
My current dislike with mutate is it feels very parasitic. Often they have "whenever this creature mutates" which means you need to have more mutate, but it actively encourages to stack everything. I hope there's an artifact that changes changes the wording to whenever a creature you control mutates.
You can stack mutations, but it still plays very well if you just mutate onto existing creatures (non-Human, of course).
[Makes a mechanic that lets you combine a creature with like 10,000 other creatures, including shenanigans like being able to double down on legendary creature effects]
"Is ThIs PaRaSiTiC?"
Not a fan of Godzilla special cards. The thing is, I don't mind promos like Grimlock and ponies - they aren't legal. I cannot stop people from playing Godzilla against me and making me feel this is not Magic anymore, this is something worse. I do not think "these cards are not for you" applies. Commander isn't for me, but since I don't need to play it I don't care if you make commander cards. What's next? A standard legal Drizzt Do'Urden? A standard legal Optimus Prime? Please no.
This raises a good question. How do all of you feel about a Godzilla card (and other creatures from the same IP which isnât Magic) existing in black border?
Quick, everyone with art skills make tourney legal Optimus Prime and Drizz't alters of cards and pass them out to play against this person in particular. TRY AND STOP US FROM PLAYING THOSE AGAINST YOU, FELICIA.
Reblog with what you named your island, who your starting villagers are, the type(s) of fruit that grows on your trees, and the hemisphere that you're in.

Consider though this substitute
Hey Mark, we keep seeing alternate wincons like thassas oracle made, but what about alternate drawcons like divine intervention? I think cards like that are really fun for edh. And I wish there were better versions.
The card got banned for causing issues in tournament play. No current plans for draw effects.
Why on earth would you want to play a game till a draw? The point is winning
If you can resolve an 6WW enchantment and keep it around for two rounds or otherwise remove counters (Having already invested 8 mana into casting it), haven't you already won? It's basically just a worse more hilarious version of pick an infinite combo.
Is there more design space in face down cards that aren't morph?
Yes.
Iâve always felt Manifest was the better mechanic in this space and I think if Morph wasnât grandfathered in as the base line mechanic, Manifest would be where itâs at. Itâs arguably more versatile, better game play, and I think a bit less complex.
I generally agree, but I think manifest is considerably more complex, like I donât think itâd be allowed under new new world order if we didnât already have Morph as a frame of reference. Morph is a thing that goes on specific cards, and you can make cards that play around with it ala Ixidron, you never really need to know how Morph interacts with say a Licid, because the answer is it doesnât. Manifest on the other hand can affect anything, works differently for creatures, and I still donât know what happens if my opponent casts Break Open targeting my face down Lightning Bolt (Do I just say âIt stays face down, trust meâ, does it go to the graveyard?)
I will grant that I donât think Wizards has gone with the simplest rulings with regard to Manifest, but the situations you mention did get rulings and explanations when Manifest was introduced. My blanket rule would be non-land permanents that have been manifested can be turned face up as a special action by paying their mana cost. I donât see why creatures should be treated differently than non-creature permanents in this regard, except for the flavor of it.
If an effect would turn an Instant or Sorcery face up, you reveal the card and it just remains a face down 2/2 on the battlefield instead.
So yeah, not less complex as I originally suggested, but Iâm doubtful it ranks as much more complex than Morph, though maybe thatâs just because I played through the block that introduced it.
The Ixidron ETB could tell you to âmanifest all other nontoken creaturesâ and function very similarly. Like you could print a new card that tells you to do that and the play is similar. Point being you can make cards that play around with it in that manner.
That's true, like I said, I pretty much agree with everything else, I just don't think it's quite as simple as you first made it out to be (Actually relatedly, I remember way back in the before times when there was some long discussion explaining in great detail by people way smarter than me about why it was completely impossible from every concievable angle to have face down instants or sorceries on the battlefield. Which is kind of tangential, but every time manifest comes up it reminds me of that). But yeah, I'd definitely be down for those suggestions.
(I just picked Licids because the specifics didn't matter and they're infamous for causing rules nightmares).

an object in a horror film:
every single character for some fucking reason:
Are Magic sales today less volatile than they were 15 years ago? You talk about sets like Kamigawa underperforming, but is it possible that the game was just less mature then and given the current environment, Kamigawa represents a less risky proposition?
Champions of Kamigawa came out in 2004, eleven years into Magicâs life. Eleven years is longer than the majority of games last. It was plenty mature. The majority of players didnât like it at the time.
@orkinman911 There's the fact that if they started working on Return to Kamigawa today, by the time it came out there'd be college-aged kids who literally didn't exist when the first sets came out. Hell, I don't think I was legally allowed to have a job yet at the time or I would've bought a lot more product. Also for as much as people claim to hate the set, there's Sensei's Diving Top, Pithing Needles, Azusa, Hall of the Bandit Lord, Boseiju, Who Shelters All, Jitte, etc.
Also also, the set definitely got shafted on both fronts, coming after Mirrodin, meaning it had to pay for its mistakes in terms of power level AND suffer whatever psychological effect causes people to remember Mirrodin all the more firmly due to its bullshit, and before the goddamn golden child Ravnica, leading to some hardcore middle child syndrome.
@orkinman911 That's not what I said at all, my point was that while market data is valuable and certainly shouldn't just be tossed aside, it also shouldn't be elevated to the status of supreme deity and be the ONLY factor in one's decisionmaking ever. Also again they shouldn't discard it entirely but it does get less valuable as it gets older (the specific rate of entropy depending heavily on the specifics). Hell, just look at like any comedy work from 15 years ago and see how many things are cringey that were generally considered a-ok by the standards of the time.
If an opponent is unable to abide truthfully by what they said to a Frankie Peanuts question, do they have to prove that they couldn't? Like "Will you counter my second spell?" "Yes" but then they use their last counter on my first spell because it's too good. Would they have to reveal their hand when I run out my second spell and they had lied?
They only have to do a promised action if they are able to do it at the time. They donât have to forego action to increase the chance of being able to do a promised action. If they say âyesâ to âwill you counter my second spell next turn?â, they are promising that if they are able to counter your second spell when you cast it, they will.
If their hand doesnât have any countersorlls in it as they countered your first spell, well they werenât able to do it. If they do have a counterspell with the mana to cast it when you cast your second spell, they are obligated to counter it.
@starkmaximum You know it actually ocurred to me that my Un decks are actually my most serious competitive ones. Like Julius Jumblemorph EDH ends up heing boring because it generally just devolves into "Get the same 3 or 4 creatures into play every game," whereas my black borders are Atogatog "sacrifice everything" or Ramirez DePietro / Why Can't I Hold All These Commanders Mill.

I know The Dark already did both Ashes to Ashes & Dust to Dust, but would silver border be able to do aftermath cards titled Ashes//Ashes or Dust//Dust with different effects on each half?
Each half would have to do the same thing as it has the same name.
Didn't silver border already do cards with the same name that have different effects?
Also even if they didn't it would functionally just be a silly way of doing Flashback, which is a very Un thing to do.
