Re: [Assorted] Sporegorger's Gorge: TFC (Triple-Faced) Elder Dragon + More

Well, it's just the reverse, right - Effect covers everything anyway, so the words you don't need are "spell, ability, or". You're right! I also just remembered Notion Thief 's effect, which is also a replacement effect and not a spell or ability, so this wording is also necessary to prev...

Re: Copying Ninjutsu & Beckon with Roscoe

Everything I can find says this wording should work. Though you don't need any of the words after instead. It's a reasonable extension of current abilities and how similar effects have evolved, ie copies of permanent spells. However, this version might be too cheap. Copying abilities have been done ...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase

Nothing on this card even hints at the point or value of traversing or being in a current chamber. What is it supposed to mean? Is it just a marker for other effects to take advantage of?

Re: Monocolor-ish Tribal Commanders

I like the idea of a tribal commander that bypasses color identity. Your reminder text is weird, why is it giving a choice? Like mid-game I can decide that my deck is illegal.

Re: parallel thoughts

Gatherer rulings are really convenient.
10/4/2004 You can choose to take the top card from the pile (and not draw) even if there are no cards in the pile. This allows you to skip draws.

Re: Chun Li Question

Another question. When can I cast those spells? Only in combat? On my opponent's turn? It doesn't say. On the card. The very last sentence is your permission window. "You may cast those cards." So right now, during the resolution of this ability, not later, there is no time frame such as ...

Re: [Assorted] Venedrex's Villa

Latent is neat but it shouldn't be a specific p/t. It should be a single number that is either the power it needs or the total p/t so you don't get questions about holy strength. I imagine it would look like level up with 8+ instead of the level required. Showing it needs combined p/t of 8 or more t...

Re: Urza, Prince of Kroog and Mirage Mirror

You will get a 1/1 Soldier version of whatever Mirage Mirror was copying. The mirror changes its copyable values to its target and sets a duration for this change. Urza(or any other copy effect) only sees the copiable values, not the duration of the copy, as it can't see "under" the copiab...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase

The wider range of options including multicolor options is a huge upgrade over just the ones available to choose a background.

It doesn't have to be actively bad. Just not sure how much better than the colorless partner and background commander it should be.

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase

While I'm not 100% certain I believe that as a 3/3 for 3 its not enough downside for the upside of combining partner and background. If you couldn't get rid of the tax it would look better but it's fairly simple to cast this, let it die and never care that increases the cost of other commanders.

The back of cards doesn't really exist. Stickers will be on the face-up portion of whatever card they are on even if it is turned over via morph or transformed. Treat them the same way you treat counters. If you need a ruling then you have to extrapolate from 123.6c 123.6c The text that a name stick...

Adult Gold Dragon says those abilities are in the wrong order. Normally I wouldn't think a one mana difference required such a stat line difference but rare to uncommon is probably reason enough for the larger shift. That dragon is an absolute beast in limited so appearing more often would be a pro...

Neither of these combos functions as you wish. You choose the order for the abilities but regardless of the order you choose, it won't grant the results you're after. In the first, Aminatou blinks the lockdown resulting in both the lockdown and the warder abilities on the stack. If you order the war...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase

Checking for intent, the Exiled Sovereign is meant to completely shut down Activated abilities that already require tapping? Is the synergy with untap abilities intentional? Neither is a huge problem. Just curious what was the intention.

Re: Ending the Turn

"Ending the turn" will bypass the "beginning of the end step" so you won't get such triggers at all. Ending the turn moves the game along to the clean-up step which is after the end step where such abilities trigger. So no, you can't double up on EoT abilities by ending the turn.

Being an instant makes Investigate way too good. Being able to easily pour all of your leftover mana into this spell when it is unneeded and then again when you actually need to draw cards leads to problems. As a sorcery, it might still be too good at creating artifact tokens but that's a different ...

Is it intent that you only have to pay the upkeep once to keep it around? It feels like too low a threshold. Though it also looks progressively worse the longer you want to be able to attack with it.

Malma, looking at precedent, the way of sharing/stealing abilities matters to the color of the card.

Shouldn't this have an "except storm of the century" on the return clause? Otherwise it causes some combo problems and is fairly useless to control decks.
