My thoughts on the Invocations look can be summed up as basically... it looks like they had a big brainstorming session to think of ideas, and then they used all of them.

702.77. Conspire 702.77a Conspire is a keyword that represents two abilities. The first is a static ability that functions while the spell with conspire is on the stack. The second is a triggered ability that functions while the spell with conspire is on the stack. “Conspire” means “As an additiona...

So, they cracked an Unhinged pack to pad time on LRRMtG this week, and it reminded me of the lightly-curated Unhinged/Unglued set-cube I built a while back, and I figured people might be interested to see it, so I took the list and posted it online.

Note that Twitch has been a bit shaky the last month or so, and will sometimes give you highlights anyway even if you ask for broadcasts. Affecting everything... the official apps, lrrbot, whatever. I haven't seen it happen in a little while, but I don't know for sure if it's fixed. If it happens, t...

You think this is "help"? You honestly think anything you said in your giant post of invective at the top of the page there would be helpful to read? You came here, with the express purpose of mouthing off about someone you feel has wronged you, just by breaking off contact. And you try to...

Y'know, when I think about how I personally interact with people that I "consider a friend", who I "am not [...] picking on", because I "grew up"... my behaviour tends to not include going to a bunch of friends and ranting about them, quote-sniping random things they've...

Yeah, it cracked me up forever in the TTC, and it cracked me up forever again in Crapshot form... and I couldn't for the life of me tell you why.

So, I was watching the AER crack-a-case stream VOD, and realised there was something of an opportunity there... Cause, obviously you can tell the distribution of the normal cards in boosters. And we know how often you get a foil (1 in 67 cards, it's in the fine print on the boosters). But I've never...

(Also, to continue the analogy, something something content warnings something something "may contain traces of nuts")

Exposure therapy is a very effective treatment for a number of afflictions, using " systematic and controlled therapeutic exposure to traumatic stimuli." "Tough love" is not that. Armchair psychiatrists (or maybe keyboard psychiatrists? I imagine most psychiatrists actually do s...

I'm about 70% sure it's a two turntables and a microphone riff...

Clicking the "desktop" button in the bottom right of the mobile view should set that "force desktop" flag for you, so it'll stop redirecting to the mobile page.

If that's not happening, then something's going wrong...

Honestly, I think it probably will be mandatory, for two reasons: (a) it sounds mandatory, and they're pretty good at not printing cards that sound like they do something the rules don't support, and (b) a repeatable {G} for {E} trade without restrictions sounds kinda broken.

Probably? I'd wait for the Release Notes for the set to be sure. I know there are rules issues with requiring you to pay mana costs (that's why eg the pacts are written as "pay this or lose" instead of just "you must pay this"), but those are more to so with the fact that you don...

Assuming both you and your opponent both have two non-Mazirek creatures to sacrifice, it'll get four counters.

Because that url is http://loadingreadyrun.com /m/ live - possible you bookmarked the link on your phone, and the bookmark transferred over? Or you followed a link in chat that was copypasted in by someone on their phone? Anyways, you can click the desktop icon in the bottom right to go back to the ...

Free is still, like $30 more than I'm willing to pay for that game.

607.3. If, within a pair of linked abilities, one ability refers to a single object as “the exiled card,” “a card exiled with [this card],” or a similar phrase, and the other ability has exiled multiple cards (usually because it was copied), the ability refers to each of the exiled cards. If that a...

Sewer Nemesis's first ability is not a trigger, but a replacement effect that changes how it enters the battlefield. Neither Panharmonicon nor Strionic Resonator will interact with it. Sewer Nemesis's third ability is a trigger, so you could Strionic Resonator that, but that interaction isn't partic...

Midnight Oil triggers for each individual card you discard. If you discard 2 cards at once, it will trigger twice, and you'll lose 2 life. As for Panharmonicon, this is from Gatherer: If Panharmonicon and an artifact or creature enter the battlefield at the same time, those permanents entering the b...

Strictly by the rules, the order is: in their second main phase, they do whatever they want to do, and then eventually pass priority to you with an empty stack - at this point, if you pass too, the step will be over and you'll move on to the end step. You cast Eerie Interlude, and you get priority f...

Correct.

Personally, I think I've been watching more streams since the schedule change. Or at least I'm downloading more VODs and my backlog is growing faster than it used to. Used to be there were entire shows I rarely or never watched, because my taste in games and the hosts just didn't match up enough. Bu...

Yeah, Caller has you moving a card from the in-your-pool-but-not-your-deck not-really-a-zone, into the exile zone. Regardless of the timing, the creature card you're exiling is going to be in one of those two places. And in order for Worldknit to work, both those have to be empty.

So I made a wallpaper out of the view from the subocean, and thought others might like it.

It's not the cleanest edit ever, removing all the overlays and doodads, but I think it works.
