thing you can do according to my reading of the comprehensive rules. if you draw a miracle card for turn, you can reveal it as it is draw, if you do, that actually puts a trigger on the stack, and you keep the card revealed while that trigger is on the stack, meaning you can respond [...]

the turn 8 spell pierce??? #mtg

hey i actually made an accurate meta call! i made a post a while back and one of the points was because of the wording of Superior Spider-Man, and the fact it doesn't actually target a card in your graveyard, people are gonna have to run Soul-Guide Lantern as their sideboard card ins[...]

i just played against scavenger's talent food mill/control, that's not something i've seen before. the first game they milled me out just by sacrificing food tokens. game 2 i barely managed to pull out a win by putting deep cavern bat under ghost vacuum so i could make a big army an[...]

8 opportunities to draw any land, 4 more to draw specifically an untapped land... i draw 2 taplands in my last turn also any piece of single target removal at any point in that won me the game... actually crazy... #mtg

introducing ppl to mtg through vintage cube is like when a video game tutorial has you play as your fully upgraded character, then you go through the entire game trying to reach that peak of power again #mtg

if i had a nickel for every time a white card and a blue card came together to cause a turn 4 play your whole deck non-deterministic combo kill in the last year of standard, i'd have two nickels #mtg

I just got cooked by cursed recorded into 3 inevitable defeats + 1 lightning helix turns out just having 2 of your things blown up every turn and losing 6 life is really hard to play through. #mtg

legendary lands are a design space that seems really difficult to explore nowadays, since it's a really harsh downside in 60 card constructed, but is not a downside at all in formats like commander. #mtg

it's very funny to me when a portal three kingdoms card is good enough to justify being reprinted bc it's just like "ok this is here i guess" like Capture of Jingzhou. who is that? dunno but i guess I'm gonna be capturing him a bunch to win the game. #mtg

people: woa, avatar aang can discount colored and colorless costs, we've never had that before: Eluge, the Shoreless Sea: 😐

ok apparently Superior Spider-Man is a certified Good Magic card (people are apparently playing it in modern!!), and I'm gonna list some reasons why, in my unprofessional opinion 1. 4 mana is on rate for reanimation in standard 2. you get the cast trigger of the card you reanimate 3.[...]

hey control deck, tapping out for Singularity Rupture and milling half my deck is a *really* bad play while i have Raise the Past in my hand. #mtg

"wotc doesn't print land destruction anymore" mfs when their opponent doppelgangs Extinguisher Battleship and destroys all of their lands #mtg

mtg's color pie is kinda crazy because of how effective it actually is. no other game has replaced the culture of being mad at nerds for being right. also fun fact communism is indisputably Red in mtg, both in terms of lore and mechanics. #mtg

me: huh i wonder if this card is seeing any play mtgtop8: it's seeing play in peasant me: wtf is peasant??? (apperently it's like pauper but you get up to 5 uncommons) #mtg

"oh shit a turn 4 eldrazi! anyways" #mtg

i feel like some people run too few lands because one time they floooded out... because they didn't shuffle enough. #mtg

I hope badgemole cub ends up making mono green landfall more powerful than any of the izzet decks in the past so wotc is forced to ban Mossborn Hydra, cuz oh my god the play patterns of that card sucks. if they have a single removal spell, it does basically nothing, otherwise it kill[...]

I saw the winning line and just didn't take it .. literally just had to blink the opponent's Ghost Vacuum so they couldn't activate it to make flying blockers #mtg

pretty sure the only reason MTG doesn't have computer engines like Chess and Scrabble is just because the rules are so complicated and noone wants to implement them #mtg

lmao they really ragequit to getting hit with Quench twice in a row #mtg

import the entire comprehensive rules as loading screen tips #mtg

conspiracy: wotc is making every main format really complicated in order to make Jumpstart and Arena the only way to introduce new players #mtg

wtf i was throwing together a bunch of cards to make a commander deck from bulk, i went and counted all the cards to see how many i needed to cut to get it to 100... and i was already at 100 exactly. a similar thing happened last time i made a commander deck wow #mtg

ok yeah, Planetarium of Wan Shi Tong seems deeply mid, at least in standard. just played against it with a control deck that couldn't get rid of it, and it didn't even generate enough value that i couldn't just answer all the individual threats with removal (granted, this deck runs P[...]

me when i'm at 1 life and my opponent puts a burn spell on the stack so i pay my last life into Fountainport to go out on my own terms instead #mtg

what do you _mean_ this is the latest errata You have no maximum hand size. If an effect causes you to discard a card, discard it, but you may put it on top of your library instead of into your graveyard. #mtg

victory screen: "leave before you lose more" *your opponent has forfeited the match* guess they took that to heart #roa2

MTG Arena needs a system where you can like, pay 50 gold to convert between different types of wildcards, or maybe just a crafting system where you lose some amount of wildcards in the process. this is *expecially* the case if they ever want to add some form of pauper to Arena, sinc[...]

the "Match Timer" system on mtg arena is kinda BS cuz it still counts down durning inactionable animations like casting a spell, so if you're low on time, it's nearly impossible to just play through your whole turn in a second or two (unlike say, chess, where moving in less than a sec[...]

landfall is never not stupid #mtg

I can't believe they went "quick, we need to fill out this mini-set into a full set... uhhhh reprint shock again?" like c'mon #mtg

for the second time, i have cast Rise of the Dark Realms to reanimate an entire Bloodthirsty Conquerer infinite life drain combo #mtg

graveyard based decks are really funny because they lead to moments where you do stuff like cast removal on your own creature just to stop it from going to exile #mtg

this card is terrible, it doesn't even pitch to Force of Will #mtg

built an entire deck for this midweek magic event and now it won't let me join. don't you just love how nothing works anymore? #mtg

I just looked at the list of cards restricted in Timeless and it's so funny Channel Demonic Tutor Tibalt's Trickery that's it.

it's really funny that trample is considered "evasion" it makes sense in context, but it's really funny if you think about it narratively. *gets run over by a dinosaur* "damn, that dinosaur was really evasive" #mtg

scryfall lists 4 tags under the umbrella of "trans" trans male trans female non-binary karn karn is just karn, i guess #mtg

timed out on mulligans and arena decided actually i shouldn't keep any lands #mtg

format that is fast enough to parse that you don't need a separate in-memory format. #programming

Laughing Jasper Flint is a fucked up card.

Opponent used Laughing Jasper Flint to steal my Journey to Nowhere, so I Returned The Favor by changing the target of the ETB trigger to Jasper himself. is this karma? #mtg

Killed someone's turn 1 elf and they just conceded on the spot, must have not had a second land

fucked up that we have two different types of blink/flicker (return immediately, return at end step), and two different names for the effect, but there's seemingly no association between name and variant of effect #mtg

Bro really whiffed a Thunderous Debut lmao how can you not find any creature in your top 20 i mean, having 200+ cards in your library probably doesn't help #mtg

it's funny when a long unused thing in a video game just becomes no longer unused. like crying obsidian in minecraft #minecraft #gaming

the story of Mana Leak/Quench is very similar to the story of Lightning Bolt/Quench they print a strong, simple card, then they print a weaker version, then they print a version that has some niche upside over both, but it is still worse than the OG in most situations. hey, it's ev[...]

reasons why control is kinda miserable in commander, but not in 60 card 1. counterspells and single target removal become card disadvantage instead of being neutral 2. all your cards are unique, making decisions more difficult. in 60 card, you might run maybe 3 different counterspel[...]
