Age has its benefits. Such as buying all the reserved list cards back when they were affordable.

Re:
Sad, I haven't failed a wordling in over 150 iirc I went to fix your streak but I see the device swap worked. You didn't finish the fifth game you started (#480), and you you lost #539 and #544. Since then you've played 230 games (out of 257) and haven't lost one. That's impressive. Thank you, than...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
...I suppose 'T1 mana dork → T2 Eladamri → T3 any other creature' lets you cheat out an Eldrazi or other fatty. Not consistent, but certainly scary when it works. Seems reasonably consistent to me. There are 7 1mv mana dorks by my count. All you need after that point is 2 forests, another cheap cre...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Vault 101: Birthday Party
In theory it's a fair bit of tempo over three turns, but it's slow and has a ton of deckbuilding and setup cost to really pay you off, plus it's pretty telegraphed. And sagas are unlikely to synergize with the rest of your deck if you're doing some sort of voltron thing, which is what this seems to ...

darrenhabib right, I forgot to mention thrasios. Thrasios does have a bit of a rep but he's a solid choice to play draw-go here. Partner options in red are kinda meh though, probably vial smasher just to get black? I might hate niv too much to play it lol. I think I've heard he is true cEDH as well...

"Simon" from Simon, Wild Magic Sorcerer is supposed to be the left word today, however it shows up as red and so cannot be entered. See pic for proof. Must be using a different dictionary for finding words vs verifying words to input? Sad, I haven't failed a wordling in over 150 iirc 😭 IMG...

Building solidarity in commander
Been playing in a new meta recently, and there's a pretty significant amount of combo going on. I'm not a huge fan of combo, but I figure it might be a good idea to have at least one deck to match the meta. (basically: I got wrecked trying to play fair aggro decks this week, so screw it we ball) Any...

Re: SCD: Rhystic Study
Right, let's look at the card from the floor. You walk on 2, untap on 3 and...what changed? You spent 2 to draw a card. You coulda done that with a t2 elvish visionary. The better comparison would have been Explore because you also get an additional land drop (which is obviously a massive deal on t...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Bloodthirster
I only recently realized that bloodthirster doesn't untap your other creatures. Oops.
Anyway pretty nutty card with the right support, but not as crazy as I initially thought it was.
obligatory "eww UB"...though if it wasn't marked UB I honestly wouldn't have noticed.

Re: SCD: Rhystic Study
This is where the complexity of understanding whether you are actually increasing your odds of winning by defecting comes into play. A lot of the time you will be hurting your odds of winning by rushing to cast your spells if there's a study on board. Hence why good players almost always pay the ta...

Re: SCD: Rhystic Study
Play pattern ways I'll stand by my advice: Most of the time it's correct to pay while focus firing the Study player, because, and I'll bold this: It is very, very difficult to know if you are actually increasing your odds of winning by defecting. It's difficult to know if you're increasing your odd...

Re: SCD: Rhystic Study
Oh good I get to have a contrarian opinion. I love doing that. I do think RS is a very strong card. I don't think that's a serious debate, at least at casual level. The bullet points at the end are, not to put too fine a point on it, cope. Sure it's less reliable than divination but the ceiling is w...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
When we released Unfinity, we knew that its partial legality in Magic's broader formats was an experiment with risks. The concept of widening a set's appeal to more players is at its core a good one. Moving forward, we won't be revisiting this kind of experiment any time soon. Rot in hell, unfinity...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - The SHM Lieges
WU: flash is a nice keyword for an anthem and the cost is low. Not sure how many UW decks actually want this but in a vacuum it's decent. C UB: the flying body is basically useless, but the faerie typing saves it. I'm still giving it a bad grade though because I don't respect tribal decks. D BR: pre...

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.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Forger's Foundry
It's an interesting piece, but I think the big limitation is that it's only one card per turn under normal circumstances. Most cheap-spell spellslinger decks aren't content to cast occasional spells for eventual value - they're casting a bunch all in one turn, which this can't profit off of. And if ...

Re: Let's get ugly with Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds - curing terminal EDH brain - dedicated to my buddy 3drinks
Wouldn't it be better to drop your token producer before Ghired? It has haste and gives your other creatures the ability, so it doesn't need to sit around a turn to do something, and playing it without something to copy just seems.like you're begging for a single removal spell to wreck your tempo. ...

They're great for starting up token copying if you don't have a way to do so already. And yeah, they're mostly used to hit some thing big, like a Terror of the Peaks or what have you. But you've also got added utility with Kiki to just hold it up for eot and generate a huge army if you need to turt...
