What this movie captured that is absent from so many other performances is the manic energy of youth, especially in the presence of one's peers. That's the director's specialty and the spark that really brings this staging to life.
Stupid EDH deck idea: Deck with all five Kodamas, choose one at random before the game starts as your commander. I call it "Kodama of the Broken Compass".
Rules Interaction Alert:
Everybody Lives! won't stop a death to commander damage beyond the current turn. (Or poison either.)
Even though life totals can't change, damage is still dealt, so any effect of the damage beyond changing a player's life total still happen. 1/2
Just realized something today. While I'm getting product fatigue from all the constant MtG sets, I think part of it is also the fact that there are no small sets anymore, and nothing that follows on from something else. (1/4)
Jank Combo Alert:
Lier lets you cast Venture Deeper from your graveyard with flashback. Adventure's own rules exile the card so you can cast Secretkeeper. Sacrifice Secretkeeper to Ashnod's Altar for CC. 1/2
Question for MtG lore folks: If Realmbreaker opened an omenpath to Segovia, would the invasion force end up comparitively huge or would they shrink down to scale?

Hey

@Wizards_MagicEU
, why are you giving preview cards to ? It's a far-right news site that has literally been sanctioned and fined for platforming hate speech. This is a very bad look and goes against your commitments to inclusivity.
Also, as a commander player, not getting more depth in interesting mechanics like mutate or party means that it's harder to build decks around those and it leads to either bad decks, constrained build choices, or more good-stuff decks. (3/4)
Basically, I really miss small sets with their weirdo deeper cuts on mechanics and interesting twists and how they allow for cool commander decks. I think I'd even be okay with all the supplemental products if every other set only had like, 180 cards. (4/4)
April 2011 - GP DFW: My 1st GP as an L2 and 1st outside Canada. The last GP Sheldon would HJ. We were both very different people then, but it was the beginning of a special friendship I'll never forget.
When every set has a ton of new cards as well as a ton of new mechanics and themes, it takes up even more mental real estate than having those themes/mechanics carry on for a set or two would. (2/4)
Hey everyone, just wanted to make it clear that Collision of Realms only gives up to one creature back per player. I've seen a lot of folks misreading the card.
Where to start? Sheldon Menery was my friend, my mentor, someone I tried to emulate. He saw the best in me and invited me in to help guide the format. He was an amazing person in every part of his life. A man of strong opinions and stronger friendships. I'll miss him greatly.

! Wow! This card is going to let folks get up to some serious shenanigans!
Thanks again to
@wizards_magic
for the preview and thanks to Jim et al. for helping to make the reveal fantastic!
Carrying the thought further after another day to think on it, I think this could explain some of the problems in standard too since there isn't the same number of cards to support more specialized decks that could sometimes be a good metagame choice vs. the best deck. (5/4)
As some of you know, I've been upset that King Kong didn't get a Godzilla series version of Kogla in Ikora. :(
But lo and behold, the ever awesome
@AltersAlk
comes to the rescue with not one, but two amazing versions for me. <3 Can't wait to get my hands on these in paper.
Mitch, I commend you for finding your sanity and backing away from your misguided actions instead of letting your anger get you tangled up with bad people.
However, I can't forgive you for calling my friends in the RC and CAG corrupt and lacking integrity. Please, apologize now.
After observing and evaluating the situation, I am distancing myself from association with Captain before any further damage is done. I intended to inspire positive change with this action, but I realize that there are better and more productive ways to go about doing so.
(1/4)
In light of all of the discussion about Thassa's Oracle and Flash/Hulk in cEDH this week, I wrote up some thoughts on the matter. I hope they can help explain what myself and others on the RC and CAG have been thinking about.

This means that commander damage is still dealt to players. While Everybody Lives! stops that from mattering immediately, that commander damage is still there when the effect ends in the cleanup step and the player will die in when state-based actions are checked thereafter. 2/2
Something doesn't need to have offensive intent or be offensive to everyone in a group to still be problematic and potentially triggering to members of that group. It's important to always think about your actions or the actions you support and how they affect others.
Use Chromatic Orrery or some other way to wash the colorless mana into blue mana and then repeat the process until you've milled out all of your opponents. Have fun. 2/2
For a while now, I've been hinting at a new creative project, and now it's time to announce it: I'm now a writer for the brand new site . Due to some personal issues, I don't have an article up yet, but will have one there soon!
My tumblr followers were able to guess that the card was Crop Rotation in exactly 20 questions!
Complete with its lovely duel deck art, this pauper all-star is sure to make a lot of folks happy with only its second ever reprint too!

With all due respect to my many American friends, you can't keep saying "this isn't who we are" when nothing is being done about the people proving you wrong over and over.
I'm honoured to have been chosen to serve on the Judge Conduct Committee for 2018, but I'm almost more excited that half the committee is women! :D

Even though Secretkeeper is a creature card in the graveyard, you look at the Adventure portion when you go to start casting it, and once you do that, Lier's ability applies to it and gives it flashback. It's a weird situation, I know. 3/
Hey everyone,
Super duper hyped to announced that I'm going to be a special guest at MagicCon: Barcelona later this month!
I look forward to seeing everyone there! Super duper grateful to

See you all at the show!
Ten years ago today I became a certified Magic judge. ❤️ It's been a weird and awesome decade that has given me so many great friends and changed me as a person. 🎉 Thank you so much to everyone I've met along the way and here's to another ten years at the very least! 🎉🎊

youtube content. I want to apologize to the Professor and the rest of the TCC peeps for this. Your stuff is good.

Segovia is a plane where everything is smaller than normal.
Segovian Leviathan was printed at 3/3 in Legends, and they "explained" later that it was small because everything there was. We've never been there.
@ghirapurigears
i wanted to pose a question to commander players, but i don't have any other way to do that than asking THE casual commander guy directly: what is the most useless but funny thing you have in the 99? i have a command tower in my Bosh just to mess with people
@ghirapurigears
I would go with: "Sarkhan’s Scorn deals X damage to target creature or planeswalker, where X is the number of turns you have taken this game. (This includes the current turn if it's your turn.)"
Question: Why is it that Bubbling Muck sees so much less play in Commander than High Tide does? Is it because black has better ways to increase their mana production? Something else?
Now that Unfinity is fully previewed, I can be certain that my disappointment isn't going to be overcome and that this set just isn't for me. It's a shame because I loved Unstable so very very much, but Unfinity just ain't it, chief... 1/
Trump is an asshole, but I don't see him as a unique threat or facist. If he had brought home the troops, ended the wars, let us buy drugs from Canada..., He could have won my vote. All we got were hateful tweets and tax cuts for the rich, so I voted Biden and I'm glad he won.
Baseless prediction: Emrakul will emerge from the moon to fight the Phyrexians, possibly being a pivotal point leading to their defeat at least on Innistrad.
Discovered a cool new combo while tweaking my Alesha deck last night. With a creature card in hand, one in the graveyard, and Desecrated Tomb and Tortured Existence in play, each B you pay becomes a bat token. Also goes infinite with Phyrexian Altar.

That said, we as the mtg community shouldn't pretend that our house is in order when it clearly isn't.

Fuck bitcoin, fuck cryptocurrencies, and especially fuck NFTs. Youre literally killing the planet to make money without anything useful being made. Fuck right off.
Seriously folks, this video is just... Everything about it is great and I'm definitely going to rewatch it at least a couple of times. I am literally awed.
A thought: If the Monty Hall problem and game theory have taught us anything, it's that it's always beneficial to switch from what you start with. Therefore, it is better to be trans than cis. 😋
Hey all,
Just wanted to remind folks that I've reopened my tumblr and it's lacking in questions right now. If you have any burning rules questions, then head on over and ask me stuff there!
Just to remind folks, when a spell cascades multiple times like this critter, the cascades all resolve separately, one at a time, with the spell cascaded into resolving before the next cascade trigger. You can't just shortcut and flip out all four cascades right away.
Full art for Alesha, Who Smiles At Death for MtG's Pride Secret Lair - super meaningful to me for two reasons. 1: I'm Two Spirit myself, and 2: I got to use the art style I've developed for my graphic novel personal project, which pulls a lot from my gender identity
