Re: [SLD] Secret Lair: Mountain, Go

Is that really the name of this Secret Lair?

'Cause that's the best name so far if so.

Re: [IKO] Kathril and ability counters

When this thing EtBs do you get to know what they are targeting before you respond to the trigger or do they choose on resolution? The wording is "put" so I'm unsure. I think it's respond with no knowledge? It doesn't target, so the controller doesn't choose until the ability resolves. If...

Re: [IKO] Zilortha, Strength Incarnate (Godzilla, King of the Monsters) buy a box promo

So you have Marauding Raptor in play. You cast KOTM, who takes two damage. Is a -1/-1 effect going to kill Zilla? No. When you put both damage and -x/-x on a creature, it's the damage that's killing it. In your example, Godzilla sees that it's a 6-power creature with 2 damage on it, and says, "...

Re: [IKO] Zilortha, Strength Incarnate (Godzilla, King of the Monsters) buy a box promo

3 toughness, Godzilla is only as tough as an elephant? Read what the card does. He is effectively a 7/7 except for abilities that care about toughness (allowing him to dodge some removal spells). I see now.. so he is the enemy of walls, and other low power creatures. :grin: It also works well with ...

Re: [THB] Kiora Bests the Sea God (TCC)

Can't disagree with that. Valid points. I think Thassa being outmaneuvered and embarrassed may be victory enough since embarrassing a God is about the only thing a mortal could do to them. Just look at the art, the Theros gods literally dominate the horizon I can't imagine a moral standing a chance...

...Thassa let this story continue on in her followers' memories? I don't think the gods have that much control over the thoughts and memories of their followers. If they did, Ajani evangelizing a rejection of the gods wouldn't have been a plot point. The pantheon could've just put the kibosh on tha...

Re: [THB] MTG Goldfish Preview: Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath

I was wondering what the Titans' type lines were going to be. I was thinking about how "god" wouldn't fit thematically, but just making them "giants" would undersell their significance.

Based on this, Gary, and Reverent Hoplite, I'm assuming it has more to do with there being a cycle at uncommon.

Considering that you can make this completely one-sided, and the scry to boot, I can't really say that this should be costed any less. But at the same time, paying 4 for any kind of fog rarely feels great.

"or Enchantment" is because it turns the permanent into an enchantment, so the enchant clause still needs to be legal.
I mean they could have gone with an Animate Dead-style wording, but I think we can all agree that that would have been too wordy.

Re: [THB] r/MagicTCG Spoiler - Erebos, Bleak-Hearted

I wonder how many people will read it as Erebos, Black-hearted. Hes a black creature! I know i did.... To be fair, I did and almost entered it as the title of thread... I think we should expect a fair number of broken cardlinks in the coming months should Erebos make any kind of splash in any format.
