Well, I finally picked up one of the FF Commander decks.

BONUS Day 133 of the CI Backlog: Q: I have Fire Lord Zuko in play. If I cast Bonecrusher Giant from exile, do I get one or two Zuko triggers? #mtg

BONUS Day 132 of the CI Backlog: Q: On my previous turn, I cast Earthbending Lesson and turned my Forest into a 4/4 creature. On my opponent's turn, they cast Ultima. What happens to my land? #mtg

Day 131 of the CI Backlog: Q: I have a Lightning Greaves in play. I cast Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, attach the Greaves to Korvold, then attack. When Korvold's attack trigger resolves, I sacrifice the Lighting Greaves. Is Korvold still attacking even though it no longer has haste? #mtg

Day 130 of the CI Backlog: Q: I control Ashaya, Soul of the Wild and some nontoken creatures, which are all tapped. If my opponent plays Winter Moon, will that also stop me from untapping my creatures? #mtg

Huh, I did not realize that a new Hunger Games book came out earlier this year. I guess I need to go to the library soon...

BONUS Day 129 of the CI Backlog: Q: I control Badgermole Cub and Baylen, the Haymaker. If I activate Baylen's first ability, tapping two creature tokens I control, will the Cub trigger and give me an additional green mana? #mtg

BONUS BONUS Day 128 of the CI Backlog: Hey, remember this post from a few weeks ago? Well, we have yet another update. As it turns out, in the final Comp Rules, the Mechanics article turned out to be incorrect: bsky.app/profile/nate...

Apparently, we're going "Ship of Theseus" with my computer setup. After getting a new computer late last month, Spectrum said I had to replace my router, so I got that hooked up now, and I had to replace the surge protector that my computer was running through.

Day 127 of the CI Backlog: Q: I have Monstrous Vortex in play and I cast my commander The Ur-Dragon. With the Vortex's trigger, I reveal Majestic Genesis. If I cast the Genesis, what happens when it resolves? #mtg

Day 125 of the CI Backlog: Q: I activate the last ability of Shilgengar, Sire of Famine, and one of the creatures I'm returning is Thief of Blood . Will Thief of Blood remove the finality counter from itself and the other creatures entering at the same time as itself from Shilgengar's ability? #mtg

BONUS Day 124 of the CI Backlog: Q: I control First-Time Flyer with no Lesson cards in my graveyard. I cast Ruinous Waterbending. Will my Flyer live or die? #mtg

@steelcitysteph.bsky.social I have homework for you - Watch this video - it's the song I referenced in chat: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLjR...

It's 5 drop Friday! He's just a big guy, don't worry about it.

Day 123 of the CI Backlog: Q: I have a Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods in play, and I managed to manifest a Blightsteel Colossus. If my face down Colossus dies, does it get shuffled into my library or does it return to the battlefield? #mtg

BONUS Day 122 of the CI Backlog: Q: My opponent cast How to Start a Riot. If I remove the targeted creature in response, will that stop their spell from resolving? #mtg

If you see this, post bird.

I took apart my Alibou deck. It was my artifact deck - every nonland card had the word "artifact" on it. But it just wasn't very interesting anymore, and if I want a RW deck, I have The War Doctor.

BONUS Day 121 of the CI Backlog: Q: I attack with Combustion Man, targeting my opponent's creature. They choose to take the damage. Do I get a chance to cast Bulk Up targeting Combustion Man so they take 8 damage instead of 4 damage? #mtg

/3 I am informed it’s normal to get more intolerant as I get older and I think I am absolutely getting less tolerant of other people’s absolute bullshit.

Found out that my local Gamestop closed, and now I'm a little sad.

BONUS Day 120 of the CI Backlog: Q: I control a Forest that's been turned into a creature due to my Badgermole's earthbend ability. Then my opponent casts Glider Staff and airbends my Forest. What happens to my land?

Happy "There is a circulatory system walking through the kitchen" Day to all those who celebrate!

BONUS Day 119 of the CI Backlog: Q: Does Wan Shi Tong, All-Knowing work with a card with cascade? #mtg

BONUS Day 118 of the CI Backlog: Q: If I have Iroh, Grand Lotus and Doc Aurlock, Grizzled Genius in play, can I flashback my lessons for free during my turn? #mtg

BONUS Day 117 of the CI Backlog: Q: If I have Bumi, Unleashed in play along with an Ashaya, Soul of the Wild, will that lead to infinite combat phases? #mtg

And just in time for the PPR, my second monitor arrives (and so I don't have differently-sized monitors anymore, I just bought a second copy of the monitor I already had).

BONUS Day 116 of the CI Backlog: Q: I control Thundersteel Colossus. I previously targeted my Colossus with Toph, the First Metalbender's earthbend ability, and I also have Bello, Bard of the Brambles in play. What's the power and toughness of my Colossus? #mtg

SANDWICH GUY WALKS FREE

Day 115 of the CI Backlog: Q: If I cast Galadriel's Dismissal to phase out my opponent's Ygra, Eater of All with 14 +1/+1 counters on it, will that get rid of the counters on Ygra? #mtg

Good news everyone! We have Blood Moon in the command zone:

If you see this, post an anime you love.

When I was having computer issues the last few weeks, I finally sat down and tried to put together a Kudo list that I've been meaning to build, with the cards that I have on hand. Any thoughts or recommendations? archidekt.com/decks/170751...

Day 114 of the CI Backlog: Q: I control a Dragon Mage enchanted with a Dragon Breath. I cast Ephemerate targeting my Dragon Mage. Will I be able to reattach Dragon Breath to Dragon Mage? #mtg

Day 113 of the CI Backlog: Q: I suspended Memory Deluge with The Tenth Doctor's triggered ability. When I cast the Deluge when the last time counter is removed, what happens? #mtg

My first Cube draft on Arena is off to a reasonable start:

Picard: there ARE FOUR GUYS! FOUR

A movie you’ve seen more than seven times with a gif.

Day 112 of the CI Backlog: Q: It's my upkeep, and I have a Faithless Salvaging about to be cast off of rebound, along with a Holdout Settlement and a Kalamax, the Stormsire in play. Do I get a chance to tap Kalamax with the Settlement's ability before I cast the Salvaging so I can copy it? #mtg

BONUS Day 111 of the CI Backlog: Q: I have a Hall of Gemstone in play. Then my opponent plays Field of Dreams and tells me that my Hall goes to the graveyard. Are they right? #mtg

I'm not asking for much, but please, Blue Jays?

So my new computer only has one HDMI port, which makes it difficult to set up a second monitor. But apparently it has three DisplayPorts that I'm supposed to use, so I guess I need some HDMI to DisplayPort converter? Ok, I think we have enough unique ports now. No need to make anymore.

Day 110 of the CI Backlog: Q: I cast Galvanic Discharge targeting my opponent's 2/2 creature. In response, they cast Wing It to give it +2/+2. What happens when my Discharge resolves?

Day 109 of the CI Backlog: Q: I control Eivor, Wolf-Kissed and have a Wheel of Sun and Moon attached to me. If I deal combat damage with Eivor, can I still put any sagas milled by Eivor onto the battlefield, or do they go on the bottom of my library? #mtg

So far, day 1 with the new computer is going well. I think I have most things downloaded and transferred. The one issue I have is that one of my monitors can't connect to my new PC, so I'm going to need to buy another monitor. That, and just getting used to new settings and Windows 11.

New computer is here! I guess you know what I'm doing for the rest of the night (downloading things)

BONUS Day 108 of the CI Backlog: Hey, remember this question from a few months ago? Thanks to the Mechanics article, we have an answer now: bsky.app/profile/nate...

I swear, once a week, I go "Wait, they reprinted *that* in Foundations?!?" This week's winner - Felidar Retreat.

BONUS Day 107 of the CI Backlog: Q: I have Wan Shi Tong, All-Knowing in play. Will its last ability trigger if I scry with Opt? Or surveil with Consider? Or if I resolve a Ponder? #mtg
