Re: Many MTG Player's ask: Is the reserved list a load of bull?

Short answer? Yes. Little longer answer? Just see the video. I agree pretty much 100% with it. Just to add another anecdotal evidence that older or hard to obtain cards do not lose their value when a reprint happens, just look no further than the Judge Promo Avacyn. Double masters not only reprinted...

Re: [ZNR] Zendikar Rising Name and Number Crunch

Hydra Horror was was spoiled a little while ago. It is pretty decent.

Still hoping against hope that number 016 is a new Iona at rare (because 4 mythic would just be overkill for white).
EDIT: nope. That was Felidar Retreat :(

Skyclave Relic + March of the Machines + Divine Visitation

Three cards: Skyclave Relic (in hand) March of the Machines (in play) Divine Visitation (in play) What happens when I cast Skyclave Relic with kicker? Do the tokens come into play as 4/4 Angels as per Divine Visitation or are they considered pure Artifact tokens that happen to become creatures as so...

Re: Changling = Full Party?

If I'm not mistaken WotC clarified that you need 1 different creature for each creature type, so you would need 4 changelings.

Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate + Gift of Immortality

Looking for a clarification on some interactions in Commander Suppose I have Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate as a commander, in play enchanted with Gift of Immortality and Magus of the Disk is also in play. I sacrifice her to give indestructible to all my creatures, the following happens: 1) Linvala wou...

Re: Kaalia Stax & Aggro

Angel of Destiny is indeed very cool and Kaalia is in the right colors to either deny your opponents' lifegain like Tainted Remedy , Erebos, God of the Dead , Archfiend of Despair or Tibalt, Rakish Instigator as well as payoffs for lifegain like Felidar Sovereign or even a way to win the table with...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

@Mookie a small detail worth noting is that if you deal lethal damage to an opponent, you kill them before Angel of Destiny's trigger resolves, so you can still kill someone with combat damage AND it also lets you ramp up commander damage or infect.

Re: Ashaya, Soul of the Wild and Horn of Greed

Standing to MTG Wiki, "playing a land" is a special action that doesn't use the stack and is different from casting a spell. Literally it means, Take a land from your hand (or other legal zone) and put it onto the battlefield. Also from the Comprehensive rules: 305.1. A player who has prio...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Emeria's Call is mildly interesting as a long-duration indestructibility granter. Flip side is even untapped, which makes it pretty low opportunity cost (assuming the life loss isn't relevant). I'm conflicted on this card. On the surface I don't see why anyone would play it instead of Ugin, the Spi...

Spike Feeder says hi. Other than that, seems reasonable in limited - throw it on a creature with lifelink and double its size every turn. A bit of a build-around, but powerful if it sticks.

Re: [M21] Angelic Ascension, a little too pushed?

Mistbind Clique has the upside of not being a 2-for-1 as it gives you back your initial creature and is in a color that thrives on instant speed spells, tho.

Re: [M21] Angelic Ascension, a little too pushed?

True that if you blindly go for the T2 angel beater you run the risk of a 2for1 and the comparison with Hour of Need is spot on.
This might not be playable in competitive standard, but at least its uses can be diverse enough to warrant a try

[M21] Angelic Ascension, a little too pushed?

The card Angelic Ascension has already been added to the M21 spoilers on this site, but saw no thread discussing it. Reading the card the first time I thought that it looked like a weaker version of Generous Gift / Beast Within as it only hits creatures and planeswalkers and a 4/4 flier is much more...

A small correction. 198 is Quirion Dryad and not quirion druid.
Then the rest of Teferi's showcases are Teferi's Protege, Teferi's Tutelage and Teferi's Ageless Insight in case you missed them.
