could probably be remade as Palladia-Mors wwrrgg Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon Flying, trample 7/7 ...probably as far back as Shards of Alara. I have a few of each Elder Dragon from Chronicles and used to use them all when I was young, and so did everyone else cos the shops were full of Chronicl...

Vanguard cards are optional, noncompetitive avatars, very casual but classically overpowered and way too silly for Commander or any tournament formats. you can choose to have one in play at the start of the game which alters your starting attributes (handsize, health) and can give you extra abilitie...

the powers that be bringing in a new "Peasant" creature type for Eldraine, knowing that the word is chiefly applied as an insult, and then making Edgewall Innkeeper, a property owner, one of them. There's only five peasants in the game and two of them confuse the heck out of me, especially...

revising my chief hang-up to being the way I can't find anyone who wants to play really weird freestyle casual Magic, so I'm forced to build a commander deck, and then that format promptly starts to fragment and be dominated by biz gossip which I deeply don't care about. think I'm gonna suspend my i...

^I feel like playing Seht's Tiger is good, but playing it with Spirit of the Heart is better. You can add Qasali Ambusher, Fleetfoot Panther and Whitemane Lion for a cute "pets saving their owners" theme and then throw in Nine Lives

Thawing Fossil [sym=1] Snow Creature - Elder Trilobite Thawing Fossil enters the battlefield with two ice counters on it. Whenever you sacrifice another snow permanent, remove an ice counter from Thawing Fossil. Thawing Fossil cannot attack or block as long as there is at least one ice counter on i...

Galactic Turncoat 3cc
Creature - Eldrazi Ally
Annihilator 1
Cohort -- , Tap an untapped Ally you control: Put an Ally card from outside the game into your hand. You skip your next draw step.
3/3

(Thanks for organizing the game, but I think I'll skip out if it becomes a competition thread akin to the monthly challenge. Too intimidating for me and I'm skeptical of people's rigidity when they get the chance to group-mark! I'm not convinced fantasy cards should be graded against things that act...

Roshva had been a self-appointed warden of Zendikar's wastes and ruins; she was forever dissuading adventurers from entering her waters, undermining those who ignored her pleas by robbing them of their supplies, forcing them to turn back in defeat. It seemed to her that such expeditions were motivat...

"We're the only format that could bear the weight of this kind of experimentation." They're not wrong. Timetwister and Wheel of Fortune and Gilded Drake (et al.) kinda set the precedent for very low supply really clutch cards that are legal in the format but somehow it exists and continue...

I love this card. Its ability has a massive effect on the composition of your library; it might be the most dramatic way of resetting a stale top three cards that you've seen with Brainstorm or Mirri's Guile etc. Plus it turns your deck into a hilarious minigame minefield if you're packing things li...

"We're the only format that could bear the weight of this kind of experimentation." not exactly down with this! Someone remind them that casual play that isn't EDH still takes place. Sometimes. In small corners of dark rooms. I think everything else is essentially solid, cos if you worry a...

(putting "not:reprint st:commander" into the scryfall search bar works too!)

I love that these decks are printed every year intended to be played in Commander while creating new casual archetypes and new-border versions of cards that were previously very expensive. I've seen people be wary of the overall price of the goodies inside, knowing that it's probably gonna be a sing...

Okay, well... Roshva, The Dabbler 1ug Legendary Creature - Merfolk Rogue Hexproof [sym=1], [sym=t]: Untap and gain control of target noncreature artifact or nonbasic land until end of turn. It gains "This permanent cannot be sacrificed." until end of turn. She's interested to know how well...

Something like this? Roshva, The Dabbler 1ug Legendary Creature - Merfolk Rogue You may play the abilities, other than mana abilities, of artifacts and nonbasic lands you do not control while Roshva, The Dabbler is tapped. She's interested to know how well all your toys and comforting devices work u...

is it okay to bump this? I only recently read the whole spoiler after deciding I wouldn't be buying any more set boosters for now. I think the red in ZNR is seriously exciting. Cleansing Wildfire is such a good tool and Molten Blast is another reasonable one, Kazuul's Fury // Kazuul's Cliffs , Song-...

Yeah, X is brutal and unbalanced. The silver-border cards I think it's particularly fair to reject are the ones that require a physical restriction (head on table, balance this card on X, wear glasses, don't wear jeans etc) cos everyone's circumstances are different and it's sort of a bridge too far...

That's fair! I suppose I treat cards the same whether they're official or not. I love seeing custom cards, I think it's a waste when all magic forums have these big active fantasy card communities and they never make it to cardboard, and see the basic M:TG experience as something you can build upon ...

In a meta sense, the worse thing about seeing people complain that they've got black borders instead of silver is the idea that most or all casual discussion online has become too serious and picky for silver-bordered cards. People get so weird about these things and I don't see why it's a meaningfu...

more like Vault of the Crypt Rats <3

Ramp seems like it's the biggest strategy in a lot of formats right now, with EDH being full of land tutoring, modern Uro being ridiculous, standard Omnath dominating that recent SCG tour etc. I've always vaguely felt it broke an important rule of the game and by itself made some colours worse than ...

I got the impression they'd be available for that price for precisely a day, get scalped and vanish into speculation land

Mighty Rawshabbar 2gwb Legendary Creature - Elephant Trample, vigilance At the beginning of each player's upkeep, if that player controls less land than another player, they may Scry 2. Whenever a land you do not control is destroyed, you and that land's controller both create a green 3/3 Elephant ...

This box set has helped me understand exactly why I don't like the Secret Lairs. attempts like these at geeky demographic marketing never sway me as much as unopened card packs. I'll only ever buy recent boosters or singles from the distant past cos that's half of what Magic is to me anyway, opening...
