Re: The General Magic: The Gathering Thread

What's relevant is less that it's your card in exile, but more that Jace (and the others) specifically say to return it transformed "under [their] owner's control". Though, they could Exert Influence your Jace creature, then Silumgar your Jace Planeswalker to get both, then you could have ...

I suppose the obvious one for Matt is "you son of a bitch!" but I'm not sure if that's what you're going for. "I'm Matt's toothpaste! Squeeze me everywhere !" But yeah, I'm not entirely sure on whether you're looking for quotes from characters they've played in videos or the lik...

Re: The Magic Venting Thread

Right. It's one thing if the thing they missed was just due to not knowing the cards... like not noticing that a creature already on the board has first strike, or some sort of activated ability or whatnot. That, I typically don't mind people taking back at a prerelease. But it's quite another if it...

Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron

Oh, absolutely that's what I think the deal is too. It's just there's always someone in chat saying as a matter-of-fact that the game UI lies about the to-hit odds on Impossible, and I'm trying to build a data-set big enough to point to whenever people try it. I know, "always listen to chat: ne...

Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron

So, with the new XCam streams, I've started tracking all the hit percentages again... trying to empirically answer the question of whether the UI lies on impossible (which the chat seems to take on faith a lot of the time). Spreadsheet hype! I'd previously run the numbers for one stream a couple yea...

Technically they don't even get a chance to go onto the stack, but the effect is the same, those triggers aren't resolving.

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

The key difference is between a triggered ability, that says when something happens (usually "at the beginning of the end step"), and a duration, that says when something stops happening (usually "until the end of turn"). Sometimes it can be unobvious what will be a continuous ef...

What happens when Elemental Resonance tries to add Phyrexian mana? Like, Phyrexian Green. Does it just add Green? Yes. If you put Elemental Resonance on, say, Birthing Pod , then when it triggers, it'll give you CCCG. If you put it on Murderous Redcap , it'll give you your choice of CCBB, CCBR or C...

They could make Wastes produce generic mana if they wanted to. Not... really. You don't have something generate generic mana, the same way you don't have something generate hybrid mana, or phyrexian mana.

Re: Oath of the Goatwatch Spoilers

How is this functionally different from a 6th color of mana? That's EXACTLY what this is. I don't mind it so much given they are errataing all previous colorless sources to produce it, but it IS a 6th Color. It requires specific resources to produce this exact type of mana to pay for costs of abili...

Duel Deck Q, ie the 17th duel deck set. After the first couple of duel decks, the codes have just been DDC, DDD, DDE, etc.

That said, I would totally buy Duel Deck: Demons vs Q.

It could be the future symbol for colourless mana, distinct from generic mana. Wizards has mentioned before that there is some confusion among new players between colourless mana (e.g. produced by Sol Ring) and generic mana (the cost for Sol Ring). Generic mana costs can be paid for with any colour...
