Re: Magic: The Gathering Online
So, I noticed I had a pile of phantom points so I decided to start playing Phantom Sealed on MTGO and man... has anyone else had the experience of people surrendering REALLY easily in these events? I've had opponents scoop to a stab wound while they were still at 16 life with a comparable board pres...

I'll file this under "ways to show people I know they don't understand the rules nearly as well as they think they do" right after "ways to learn that _I_ don't understand the rules nearly as well as I think I do"

Re: The Magic Venting Thread
Hi my names James and I just got blown the fuck out. M15 draft. Blue/Red Deck Opponent down to 4, have Welkin Tern and Krenko's Enforcer plus some random bodies. Opponent plays Resolute Archangel and goes back up to 20. Groan. But no worries. I can deal with this. Untap, Stoke the Flames on the ange...

MTG at PAX
So, who all's going to PAX Prime, and do we want to meet up and throw down a draft or some Commander? Seems like MTG isn't going to be a huge feature at PAX this year, don't see any of it on the schedule despite there being like nine YuGiOh tournaments. I'm certainly not going to let that stop me th...

Re: Commander/EDH Deck Talk
I have an idea. It is very stupid. Maybe more stupid than my current deck. The Bioware Theme Deck! Every goddamn choice card in MtG in one Commander deck! Turn one Vexing Devil: Who wants to pay four life? Anybody? Will of the Council A-Go-Go! So on, so forth. I might also instead call it Crowdsour...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
To be clear, in the case of Natural Affinity and Polymorphist's Jest, they're still technically lands, but until end of turn they do not tap for mana. Sadly this does not help me. I wanted some way to turn my opponent's lands into creatures without having them retain land status so they'd be affect...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
Just to clarify, any effect that triggers when x "becomes tapped" only does so when the thing goes from an untapped to tapped state, yes?
*edit*
Also, if I cast Natural Affinity and then Polymorphist's Jest, are my opponent's lands still lands?

With instant speed discard and reanimation you could even surprise someone with Ob Nix.

Seems par for the course for the general much lower quality print runs for m15 cards

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
Just to be clear: When naming a creature type, one cannot name a creature type that does not exist, or is another card type (IE: "Forest"). Correct?

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
If I gain control of a counterspell with Perplexing Chimera, am I able to select the counterspell I just gained control of as the new target for that counterspell? I understand that one cannot normally counter a spell with itself, as it is not on the stack while you are casting it, but at the time i...

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
From what I'm hearing printing errors with m15 have been pretty rampant. It's being attributed mainly to the new card format since it now has to support the addition of the foil stamps for rares (or something?)

Re: Khans of Tarkir Speculation
Well apparently Khans isn't a multi-coloured format block. Was confirmation I have heard, from Rosewater that they want to go at least 2+ years between full multicolour blocks.

Re: The Limited thread
Drafted last night. Green red. Felt good about the deck. two kird chieftains, a lightning strike, a cone of flame. Decent selection of 2's and 3's and some fatty top end. Lots of red creatures and the red paragon. Deck only went 1-2, which I was disappointed about but I felt like I was largely outcl...

Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread
Anyone noticing some really low quality packaging and card quality issues for m15?
At my store we've been seeing a lot of cards marked with like little white splotches on the back of them, sometimes actually quite large. Yesterday I opened a booster with cards that were upside down o_O

Re: M15 Prerelease Experiences
I'm looking forward to drafting this set from a mechanics point of view but I'm a little sad at how low the EV of a pack is in this set. There's very little you can pull that you can even expect to trade for the value of a pack. It's kind of disappointing.

Purely out of curiously,
if I have an empty library, 1 life, and a laboratory maniac in play and something causes me to draw a card and lose a life, do I win or lose?

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
So this means that monstrous cards like Polukranos have two abilities that go on the stack right? First an activated ability to become monstrous, and then a triggered ability to fight or whatever, yes?

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge
Just to be clear, the following cards all involve a triggered ability:
Polukranos
Broodmaster Hydra
Genesis Hydra
right?
