Re: Unique Mana Costs

Huge changes from Strixhaven. One funny thing that happened with this update was the new Extus, Oriq Overlord card both added itself to the list AND removed Vampiric Dragon from the list; I don't believe a single card has ever had that much impact on this list before.

A Proposed "Self-Synergy" Rating

I'm trying to develop a new axis for analyzing and rating cards based on how advantageous they are when their effects are duplicated. I'm calling it the "Sakashima Score" and, in honor of the recent Sakashima of a Thousand Faces , a card's Sakashima Score is an integer from -500 to 500 Fac...

Re: Unique Mana Costs

It has been over a year since my last update, so there are many cuts and additions. Also while reviewing the list this time, I noticed Oakhame Ranger's strangeness in the context of this list; there is another 'card' with Ranger's exact mana cost, but it is printed on Oakhame Ranger itself - Bring B...

Szat's Will vs Lord of Extinction

If one of my opponents has Lord of Extinction in their graveyard when I cast Szat's Will , what does Will "see" when looking for creature's power? Is it the number of cards that were present in graveyards before Lord was exiled, or only the cards still present after (just my graveyard)? To...

Re: Difficult scope-of-effect questions

Great, thanks. I was expecting there to be several different places in the rules to handle all the different cases, very glad it is all summed up in one entry.

Difficult scope-of-effect questions

These questions are related to whether an effect of a spell/ability does or doesn't apply to objects created after (or given characteristics after) that spell/ability resolves. If I cast Falter and it resolves, then a player flashes in Riptide Turtle , can the Turtle block this turn? If I activate I...

Dream Halls and trigger timing

If there is a Dream Halls out and I control a Pyromancer Ascension , can I discard Shock to cast another Shock and trigger the first ability of Ascension, adding a quest counter? With Dream Halls and Harness the Storm and two Shocks, can I cast both by discarding one to pay for the other and then ta...

Flash and Mana Doublers

608.2f If an effect gives a player the option to pay mana, they may activate mana abilities before taking that action. . . . No other spells can normally be cast and no other abilities can normally be activated during resolution. As part of the resolution of my Flash , I put Nyxbloom Ancient onto t...

Sevinne - which spell is 'first'?

If I control Sevinne, the Chronoclasm and cast Finale of Promise (X < 10) targeting an instant and a sorcery, which one gets copied? Is it the one put on the stack first, meaning if I chose to put the sorcery on the stack first it would look like (Sorcery (Instant (Copy of Sorcery)))? Is it always t...

Re: State of the Format 2020

I'm guessing the forums solution is just going to be social media outlets with reddit, Twitter, and Facebook? I'd like there to be something a little more robust in terms of archiving. We'll see. That thought may be the product of a bygone era never to return. I mean, we're communicating on a messa...

Re: [MCD] Wishes

1. I don't anymore, because I play online exclusively these days. When I played in shops with strangers and around tables with friends, I used a 10-card with no duplicates in maindeck and nothing outside of color identity. 2. Again, this was in the past so I only used Burning Wish and Living Wish in...

Unique Mana Costs

This is just for keeping record of all cards with a mana cost not seen on any other card. I have been compiling and updating it for a long time by hand, so there is room for error but I think it is presently completely accurate. If you see anything that looks like an error, please let me know. Here ...
