Choose a card type. Exile all cards of the chosen type from target opponent's graveyard. You may play cards exiled this way for as long as they remain exiled.

I'm just wondering why you're @Legend willing to say Monarch: No because it would warp Commander into an entirely different format. Let Rule 0 handle Commander variants. but you are dead set on Just revise Rule 13 to make them work according to the rules of Magic and the spirit of Commander. Comman...

I was playing Bant enchantments Commander. All of my chants were creatures due to Opalescence. I alpha striked for the win, thinking I was safe from mass removal, especially due to Remand in hand. My opponent cast Settle the Wreckage. I returned it to his hand with Remand and drew a card, even thoug...

@papa_funk I'm terribly sorry for the mention, but as @Legend has let me know via PM, I really shouldn't have tried to answer his questions directed at you. Of course I have a tremendous amount of influence over your views of the format aswell as the opinion of the RC and responding in a fair and u...

Thanks for the reply. This both stipulates that the format needs stabilizing, and that Wishes might do it; neither of which has any backing. Perhaps "stabilize" wasn't exactly the right word. What I meant by it is that Wishes could provide answers to problematic decks and cards (in the fut...

The following replies were typed prior to papa_funk's last reply, but they have been kept intact. I answered this on the Commander Summit like two weeks ago. It's one of the first questions in the episode. It was the last question, three weeks ago at the time of your post. The question was specifica...

There are better and cheaper free discard outlets, fwiw, but hey - this is colorless.

It was worth a lot in Ultimate Masters limited.

EDIT: Woops, I didn't realize that when I opened the thread it wasn't on the last page.

[mention]Sheldon[/mention] Great article. I wish I was as articulate as you. Unified Commander Damage: No, unfortunately, because of how similar it would feel to poison. Monarch: No because it would warp Commander into an entirely different format. Let Rule 0 handle Commander variants. 30 Life: No b...

The wishboard would be filled with stuff that hoses very specific strategies … and other things that stop players from playing the game with their very specific gameplan. Though that would not always be the case (Spoiler 12), when it is the case, it could be a good thing (Spoiler 13), not a bad thi...

I first encountered Magic was early 1994 when Arabian nights was still brand new in a Waldenbooks near you. But I didn't buy any or play the game because I thought my money was better spent on Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition and my time better spent playing AD&D 2nd Ed. instead. My sec...

What bothers me the most about the way you try to argue is that you don't really defend your position. You only try to discredit the opinions and arguments of others by throwing around fallicies and refering to sections of your original post that may or may not be relevant to the actual things bein...

The assumption that "the only sensible card to Wish for is a silver bullet, therefore that's the only thing that will ever be Wished for" is rife with fallacies . To paraphrase what has already been well said by others, how a player uses a card is a choice. And the choices for Wishes woul...

The wishboard would be filled with stuff that hoses very specific strategies... Thank you for replying. Please see Spoilers 12 & 13 in the OP. I think you're misunderstanding my argument here. I'm not saying 100% of the time a wish is going to be used exactly like this. I'm trying to make an ar...

Editing your original post and then claiming the questions are easy and already answered "see OP" is not exactly a way to endear anyone to your point of view. For the record, I only edited the original post because there was a missing word. That being said, I reserve the right to edit the...

Yes, even in Commander Wishes should abide by the official rules of Magic, whatever they are. However, under no terms should Wishes remain de facto banned. Rule 0 is no excuse. See Spoiler 3. Right, but that doesn't answer the questions. Can I wish for a card outside my commanders color identity? I...

I think everything revolves around this: In a sanctioned event, a card that's "outside the game" is one that's in your sideboard. In an unsanctioned event, you may choose any card from your collection. In a literal reading of this statement you are correct. Commander games are unsanctione...

The wishboard would be filled with stuff that hoses very specific strategies... Thank you for replying. Please see Spoilers 12 & 13 in the OP. As an aside, this argument is way too long and I had to unspoil it all and control F for the arguments I wanted to read. I think a short and concise arg...

The spirit of the format is playing together, not against each other. – Sheldon Menery , Commanderin' Podcast 32 I believe that Rule 10 is an artifact of a bygone era. The purpose of this post is to shine a progressive light on age-old talking points about WISHING that span the last 20 years and to...

[mention]Sheldon[/mention] This is my first post ever here on MTGN, and I dedicate it to you, the RC, and CAD. Thanks for all y’all do. Y’all, especially you, have been gracious for over a decade despite the irrational insistence of perfection from some. Hold your heads high because for every 1 voca...
