My god, they seem absolutely dead set on invalidating any card not made in the last 5 years. I really do not understand how you can possibly walk back from the kind of power creep going on. This is the kind of stuff that causes my interest in Magic to fluctuate so wildly. I hope this set tanks...bu...

You know you can't activate orthion's abilities during upkeep? Stuff like the aforementioned leyline tyrant solve this problem, but I have a hard time imagining it's worth all the effort.

Nooooooooo! Not reading the card gets me again!

Day/night is the most tedious mechanic they've ever made and I hate, Hate, HATE it. I think they should errata the new wolves to work like the old ones. At least with the old ones I could sometimes squeeze more value out of Cult of the Waxing Moon during my opponents' turns.

I'm in the early stages of building an Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink deck, and I realized I've had an unused Braid of Fire for ages that it would be perfect for. While it'll mostly be used for Orthion's abilities, I'd really like to be able to use that mana at other points in the turn than my upkeep. A...

Brain dump time! - Hearing about pokken and materpillar meeting up makes me extremely jealous. Also, I just picture a black cat and Master Transmuter hanging out. - Eldrazi are overrated and even worse, boring. MH3 is barely on my radar. - OTJ is a lot of fun, but I wish they had some better world b...

If you're heavy on taplands, there's always Spelunking . Anyway, Reflecting Pool seems to have been left out of the discussion, so don't forget to add that to your list. Without fetches, I think I'd be inclined to run shocks, checks and any 5C options you may like. Probably heavy on rocks too, as ot...

Do you all keep up with mainstream comics? Recently, maybve a month or two ago, Andrea Sorentino was recently exposed/accused of using AI in his own work. He is a stabilished artist with a good enough following. and i'll tell you what, I wouldnt've known had it not being explained to me like I'm 5 ...

I can see wanting to somehow make this work, but...no. The only thing that could maybe make this playable is madness, but with green and no black, that's not happening. There's a reason you haven't seen it played before.

I'm visiting Japan for just under two weeks. Checking it off my wife's bucket-list. I'm only a day in but it's really cool so far. Going to hang out in Tokyo until next week and then Osaka the next week. Hoping to see some Cherry Blossoms today. Magic the Gathering going to be fairly sidelined for ...

Murders at Karlov Manor and Cowboys of Moo Mesa exist only to further the power of people's hat tribal decks, specifically fedoras and stetsons. Illuminati confirmed.

You could also try to use some awful Jace puns. Like, if someone attacks a Jace, you can say "right in the Jace!" and stuff ad nauseam.

@Venedrex: no apology needed. We both stirred quite vigorously.

@DirkGently's point about the uninteresting designs are also on the mark. Oh great, Chun-Li has multikicker. Get it? Because she has that move where she kicks a lot.

players should start a format without Universes Beyond. It's called PrEDH EDIT: Based on the last earnings call in which they said UB was losing them money, I think once they are done with the current deals they have in place they may either drop or slow down the UB stuff. They may change their app...

I don't like UB, but I think I have to be content with just not playing the cards in my decks. A new splinter format would be more trouble than it's worth. For instance, can I play the Fallout or Doctor Who versions of Farewell ? Rules would be too granular and when you finally have them nailed dow...

I'm seeing Alkaline Trio on Tuesday. I'm so pumped! They might be my favorite band, their new record is killer, and I. Am. Ready. I like their new single a lot but haven't made time to listen to the rest of the album. I'm not going to make it to their show this month but definitely enjoyed them liv...

Jace is going to be a sly lil fox on Bloomburrow. There's no reason thus far to think he's in Cowboys of Moo Mesa.

I visited a new LGS last weekend and on a whim, bought their last collector booster of Neon Dynasty. I generally dislike collector boosters but Neon Dynasty might be my favorite set. Maybe I'll open it when I'm having a bad day.

have you guys played against Voja, Jaws of the Conclave holy %$#% it is powerfull I haven't seen it in paper but I've played against it on Arena. It's another easy button commander that draws a ton of cards and gives a massive buff for barely any effort. I kinda hate it, though I normally keep this...

I have 0 Doctor Who and or W40k cards memorized, I recently traded for some lands that I learned were reprinted in the doctor who set. I know they are probably great designs and would greatly improve some of my decks but I chose not to care and I think it has greatly helped me enjoy mtg I have almo...

Lightning bolt is a completely viable card :madhot: :madhot: :madhot: Agree. Similarly, I run Lightning Helix in General Ferrous Rokiric . Originally, I put it in there because it's a cheap spell that will get me a 4/4 body, thinking that it'll sometimes have a good target. But it always has a good...

I agree with @pokken about Arcane Denial, but there's a clean elegance to Counterspell; no caveats, no provisos, just a clean "no."

I wish they'd keep trying to explore more design space for Boros like they did in Strixhaven, instead of an endless parade of equipment commanders.

Lost my job friday, spent a total of 51 days with this company. I was at another company, had an ok position. I was recruited for this one and after 51 days there was this mini layoff thing and I just terminated on friday alongisde some other folks. Man companies suck. If you might be in a position...
