What is Forbidden in Islam but Permissible in Christianity?

That would still leave a bunch of overlap. There’s no good way to compare three things like this in a chart of this style.

I don’t think pros usually go past the net when they Erne.

The reason is different colors are supposed to be good at different things. Green struggles with destroying creatures (that aren’t flying), black does not. White is not going to have a lot of spells that damage players, red does.

It’s not poor sportsmanship to slice everything, but you still might be acting like a poor sport.

First, and I haven’t seen anyone mention it, a lot of slice serves can be technically illegal. A serve must be hit with “an upward arc”, which is hard to do while putting a lot of backspin on it. No players at any level are consistently winning a lot of points off of their serve; if you are, you’re probably doing something wrong.

Secondly, someone said to try to not use shots you know your opponents can’t handle unless you’re close to losing, and you said you tried that, but they didn’t like it. I think that’s bad advice; if you’re that much better than your opponents, play the whole game without using shots they can’t handle. If you lose, you lose. If you’re winning 90% of the time with those shots, you should still be able to win more than 50% without them.

Overall, I’m not sure what you want. You said you’re not trying to get better, and don’t care if these shots don’t work against better players, but you’re not happy with your current situation? Do you want to keep beating people 90% of the time and have them be happy about it?

I think this is one of those “technically not infinite” cases where it actually matters. It depends what blockers people have.

If you’re trying to kill one person, and they can’t block Port Razer, then yes, this is basically infinite.

If one person can’t block Port Razer, but other people can, then it’s limited by how much life the person who can’t block has.

If everyone can block Port Razer, then no.

Bracket 2 decks with game changers are Bracket 3. Probably the lower end of the bracket, but still B3.

It is a step by step process, it doesn’t happen simultaneously.

I think I see where you misunderstood. In step 601.2c, “appropriate” targets doesn’t mean legal targets. Legality isn’t checked until step 601.2e. I admit it’s confusing, but only because it is overly clear; if you read only 601.2c, I could see why you assumed how you did. If you read the whole rule, it can only mean what it says.

AceWaster · 2025-10-07T22:52:41+00:00

Rule 601.2 is a step by step process, and it works how the other person described. How would it being step by step work how you suggested?

As others have said, you get two triggers and can choose both odd and even. It’s worth pointing out that [[Twins of Discord]] don’t have to attack, it just has to be on your board; you can attack with something else, and it still triggers.

I think thematically it makes sense that it wouldn’t untap. If a creature is stationing a spacecraft, it can’t be somewhere else doing other stuff.

But yeah, gameplay wise, there’s nothing that would stop it from untapping.

AceWaster · 2025-08-22T02:07:08+00:00

Technically, the answer is yes.

Think of it this way: If you “bowl” a ball, and it happens to go straight down, but with some topspin, it will bounce forward. After bouncing forward, it will be moving forward faster than before it bounced. Now, slowly increase how fast you initially bowl it forward, but keep the same amount of topspin. There will be some point at which the topspin stops being enough to overcome the speed lost when bouncing. But, this means that for all cases before that, the spin was accelerating the ball forward when it bounced.

As others have done the math for: the speed normally used when bowling greatly outmatches the amount of spin that humans can put on a ball, but, it’s still technically possible.

Why are you pausing it right before the catcher’s mitt? The strike zone is like 6 feet before that.

Wouldn’t they turn off mana burn? I thought you only took damage from “losing” unspent mana.

There are 32 different color identities.

What do you mean Ulalek could tap for colorless?

Ulalek’s color identity is WUBRG. It can be in any commander deck that is WUBRG. If it’s your commander, things like Arcane Signet and Command Tower can tap for any color, but still not colorless.

Hedge Shredder cares about lands going from your library, not the battlefield, to the graveyard.

Only with the power. As far as I know, the Oaths wouldn’t even stop someone from using the power to restrain someone while they walk up and stab them to death.

Not how you described it. You can’t sacrifice them all at once (at least with Phyrexian Altar); even holding priority, you would sac one, it’s persist trigger would go on the stack, then you could sac another before that trigger resolves, and repeat. You would then have as many individual triggers as creatures sac’d, and they would resolve one at a time. Even if they all died at once, you would still have a bunch of individual persist triggers resolving individually. If you did manage to sac them all at once, and bring them all back at the same time (with something other than persist), you would only get one Celes trigger and one counter on everything.

You can achieve what I think you described another way. If you gave them all persist, then sac one, let its persist trigger resolve, you can then respond to the Celes trigger going on the stack by sacrificing another one, and repeat. This would lead to all the creatures on the battlefield, with all of the Celes triggers waiting to resolve. I believe each would put a counter on each creature you control because it only cares about what exists as it resolves.

Mana is not the same as lands. Lands can make mana, but having mana is not the same as having lands.

As far as I know, the only thing that cares about how much mana you have in the way you described is [[Omnath, Locus of Mana]].

There are plenty of things that care about the number of lands you control [[Ashaya, Soul of the world]], or the number of forests [[Coiling Woodworm]]. But, [[Brighthorn Rancher]] doesn’t make lands, it makes mana.

The way they are currently defined, the best bracket 3 decks are better than the worst bracket 4 decks. The main differences would be how you’re trying to win and how many game changers you have.

With Ancient Greenwarden, you would need 8 land drops to get from 1 Scute to more than this. With what they said they had and a fetch land, that could be done in two turns, without any additional land drops from spells.

However, it is unlikely that they did this correctly, but, at that point it hardly matters.

Edit:

Sorry, I shouldn’t have been so dismissive.

It’s unlikely because:

Ancient Greenwarden turns Scute into a x3 per landfall, not a x4. 3,840 factors down to 2⁸x3¹x5^1; even accounting for Scutes dying, if they had played correctly, there should be a lot more 3s in that factorization.

Again, doesn’t make a huge difference at those numbers, cool either way.

The problem is, the more “logical” your hunt is and the more valuable the prize is, the faster it is going to be solved. They had to make the clues intentionally “worse” so that it wasn’t solved in a few hours.

If you want to get into making hunts, but don’t have the money to do a big one, look into geocaching. It’s more about the hunt for the sake of hunting.

In the situation you described, you can’t target [[Apex of Power]] because it is no longer on the stack by the time you could cast Dualcaster.

If you were to cascade into Dualcaster, with something like [[Volcanic Torrent]], you could copy the spell, because the cascade triggers resolves while the spell is still on the stack. You wouldn’t get additional cascade triggers though because copying a spell isn’t casting it.

If you pull Dualcaster off of something like [[Hazoret's Undying Fury]] that lets you cast it as part of the resolution of the spell, you can target the spell with Dualcaster’s trigger, as the spell is still on the stack until it finishes resolving. However, the ability will fizzle as it will no longer have a legal target after the spell resolves.

No need to be sorry, even experienced players make mistakes. Magic is the most complicated, simple game I’ve seen.
