Leering Lookalike 2{W}{B} Creature - Shapeshifter You may have Leering Lookalike enter the battlefield as a copy of target creature in a graveyard, except it gains "players can't cast spells with the same name as this creature." "I know it wasn't Jackson, he never looked at me like t...

Dilatory Bairn 1{G/U}{G/U} Creature - Ouphe {G/U} , T : Return target spell to its owner's hand. That spell's controller adds mana equal to its mana cost. The quiet patience of ouphes, with their long time-telling tapers, is actually a cheery flurry of thought on how best to confound next. 3/1 Alac...

It's got two major drawbacks: First, it's a 3 color card and that's difficult to hit on curve in draft. Second, because it's uncommon I'm unlikely to draft two of them. Have you considered making it instead create a token copy of itself instead? P.S.: You might want to check out mtg.design I'm gues...

The flavour on this card is a very niche joke, but the mechanics work in black-border so here's a Wug. https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/complete/full/2019/7/23/1563921612136574.png [hr] Wug [sym=w][sym=u][sym=g] Creature - Beast [sym=w][sym=u][sym=g]: Search your library for a creature card named "...

Can anyone with a more in-depth rules knowledge speak to the implications of casting a permanent card as a sorcery from the battlefield? My intuition is that it would only work if the permanent ceases to be a permanent on the battlefield and becomes a sorcery on the stack, treated as if it had just ...

This is really cool space. It feels like an expansion on the "batching" technology that wotc tested out with Hostoric (the keyword, not the format :P ). Maybe if it only checked for particular types or amounts of counters it might be less abusable? Cuz I honestly like that including counte...

Personally I figure the two-column layout is just so they have extra space. The left hand "page" doesn't have much room for text because of the cost line and the (presumed) type line. They save space by making those only take up half the textbox, then they added the nifty flavouring of the...

thanks, I guess they would import a mix of some stories into mtg to make something fresh. although the preview art I saw, the girl wearing green clothes and there's a bit of blood. I thought at first she was a kithkin? Then after seen the blood, it reminded me of the horror movie with the killer do...

On an unrelated note: There's no quote button? Because I have to manually write it each time I want to take only segments of a posts. On a computer, if you highlight a section of text from a previous post, a little "quote" button pops up allowing you to directly quote the highlighted text...

In Gavin Verhey's article today, he points out that printing new cards in Brawl's new preconstructed decks allow R&D to provide cards that Brawl needs - filling gaps in the colour-pie among standard-legal commanders, and adding role-players like mana-fixing. This seems like a good way to support...

I own four of them but I think I am playing it in like... 2/10 of my current decks right now. The faster your decks are and the more proactive they are the better the card is but if you look at control or draw go strategies it becomes a lot more questionable. Playing with and or against combo decks...

... - 2 mythic rare, 5 rare, 9 uncommons, and 14 common alternate-art showcase cards Which means only 30 cards will feature the new mechanic that requires the new framing and their rarity will not be color banaced. ... I didn't initially catch that the showcase frames were exclusive to cards with t...

Article: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/project-booster-fun-2019-07-20 Edit: Aha, we got a card name! If you click on the card with the crazy new frame, you can see it's called "Flaxen Intruder". Good catch! I guess this is Goldilocks as told by the bears XD Ju...

Hopefully Aminatou is pre-Mending because her powers are absolutely absurd and shortsighted with no thought towards how they'd fit in an ongoing narrative. Her plane also is very, very different from what we've seen of Eldraine. Aminatou is not pre-mending from what we know. In fact she can't be pr...

Side note, folks: Eldraine is Spanish for "the drain." Plumbing world confirmed!

If you look really closely those fairies are actually wearing scuba suits. Now I know why: they're plumbers too

The weird thing about commander is the huge price-range of decks that people play. From a competitive standpoint, it's probably a good idea to run Mana Crypt in almost every commander deck, but according to EDHrec, only 9% of decks run it. Why? Well it costs $200, that's why. Wizards have often rema...

Oh wow I didn't even notice the actual date. That's what I get for making assumptions. (And yeah I'm not seriously expecting the reserved list to go anywhere. Like I say, tinfoil hats )

Apparently, next week's edition of Making Magic is going to be "one of those articles I do that gets everyone talking." It conveniently drops the day after SDCC ends, where we are supposedly getting some information about Archery (but not previews). Tinfoil hats on everyone, what's it goin...

Do you use the color requirements? Personally I don't, mostly out of convenience. I don't generally plan ahead of time to play star; more often I play it because as mimicvat said, it's generally better than 5 player free-for-all. If I knew for sure ahead of time though, it would be fun! In original...

Weird. It sorta has an equip cost of 0 since it can pay its own equip cost, and then the equipped creature can also tap for mana. On subsequent turns it kinda taps for [sym=c][sym=c], since both the equipment amd the creature can tap for [sym=c] It also means equipment tutors can tutor out a land wh...

To those wondering why flash-hulk is "fine" when Paradox Engine is apparently not, I think part of it is that you really need to be all in on the spikeyness to run Flash-Hulk. It's a complicated combo that you need to learn to perform, and needs specific cards in your deck. If you're playi...

I've had a load of fun in the past with the simple variant that combines Commander with Star. It needs five people but hey sometimes you've got five people instead of four, it happens. If you're not familiar with Star, the rules are simple: each player has two allies sitting next to them and two ene...

Signed up when I saw the reddit post. Site looks good! I refuse to get a reddit account because I know how much time I'd waste, but I can't block it cuz I can't go without some magic related stuff in my day. This seems like the compromise I needed
