Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
He'd come in with 4 loyalty, yeah, so -3 would realistically be the only thing you can do which doesn't result in an immediate sac to SBAs.

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
The best way to word it is "The player AFFECTED," rather than going with the term "controller". Though to be clear, Platinum Emperion's ability isn't a replacement effect. It's a static ability which changes the game rules. In this instance, Platinum Emperion and Undead Alchemist...

Re: Lore: Which Planeswalker Would be the Most Fun to Hang W
As a mentor I'd have to go with Sarkhan. Can't exactly say there'd be a dull day with him around. Plus he's in my colours, so...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
Phlip is right here. You're pitching a card, not a side of a card, and split cards have two CMCs.

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
For playing a second Atheros; At best you'd drain them for 3 life. At worst, you've spent three mana. Is getting the definite 1 life drain from extort worth potentially losing a copy of your God?

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
From my experiences, most of the questions you're going to get are going to be "how long in the round?" The biggest things people seem to struggle with at the events I've judged are replacement effects, so brush up on those or be prepared to redirect to the head judge. Other than that, jus...

Re: BNG Prerelease
I'm going white. Went black at Theros, and as much as I love blue, nothing makes me happier than the style of play that BW allows for. Plus white just looks fucking amazing in this set.

Re: Grixis Steal Sac Attack deck idea
I'd want a few more sacrifice outlets that you can use for free to be honest. I know it's slightly out of colour, but something like a cartel aristocrat would give you a faster way to clear away their attackers and allow you to get to your end game faster. As it stands you're not really doing much u...

Re: So that just happened (funny MTG stories)
So today, whilst playing around on mtgo with a new stupid fun reanimator deck for standard, I managed to cause 6 completely different opponents to rage quit in the space of about an hour and a half. None of them seemed to realise that I didn't care if my little creatures were 1-for-1'd because I was...

Re: The Magic Venting Thread
Maybe this will change with the next set. Or maybe it'll change when I'm not as tired and depressed. But honestly, I just feel like I want out at this point. Been feeling the same myself lately. After last FNM, I came home and packed all my cards up into a cupboard again. BotG has gotten me interes...

It looked uneven to me at first too. It's not, but because of the placement of the P/T box it does look like it is.

Re: The Magic Venting Thread
This one is a little weird... I draw mountains. Always mountains. If there is a mountain in my deck, I will draw it. If there are several, I will draw them before anything else. Some people laugh it off when I tell them and say it could be useful... Until they see the results. There have been cases ...
