Re: August CCL, Final Poll

Forgotten Trove - It's hard for me to see why the tokens produced are Gold and not Treasure. Novice Interlocutor - This is worded pretty strangely (why not "Remove target blocking creature and each creature it's blocking from combat"?), and no race type is odd too. Sepulcher Terror - This...

Re: The CCL Discussion Thread

Without going into detail, Henlock's having (structural) problems with his house. I hope Friday will be enough time but if not, I think it'll be fine if we wait the rest of the weekend. I'd life to see the August poll posted before the September CCL Finals, but that's a minor concern. I've had home...

...non-issue as far as I'm concerned. Like the rest of us, I figured Henlock got tied up with something in RL. Did you give them until Friday or Saturday to finish the submission?

Re: August CCL, Top 4: The Greater Brother

RaikouRider: There will be memory issues with the returned card in paper, though who plays paper Magic (in the US) anymore? Power wise, might have been able to slip down to Uncommon. Henlock: It should come in tapped, as it exceeds the "better than a Basic Land test". Factory synergy is a...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

Clarification Request: Are coloured artifacts a non-evergreen mechanic from New Phyrexia? I assume Infect is anyway. As of Core Set 2020, colored artifacts (we only use real English words here, not that British nonsense) are deciduous, but are not yet evergreen, so it works for Subchallenge 2 as be...

Subchallenge 2 : Your entry includes a non-evergreen mechanic from one of the following sets: Conflux (2009); New Phyrexia (2011); Innistrad (2011); or Fate Reforged (2015). By include, does that mean it needs to have the mechanic itself like Yidaro, Wandering Monster , or can it simply interact wi...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

Regarding "non-evergreen mechanics", would Colourless Phyrexian Mana count? I know we're supposed to keep to mechanics that "existed" at the time of the set in question, but considering the theme is the premature introduction of C , is it ok to assume that https://i.imgur.com/1m...

While working on reviews for August, a minor change to the Rubric came to mind for Viability. It currently reads: How well does the card fit into the color wheel?
