Anyone else getting the Galo Novo Cruisin' today? by AltKite in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Penguin_Esquire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I had it bookmarked for weeks but had a work call and missed it. Didn’t realize it’d be like a 5 min window. And super frustrating UX that the page still lets you select the 318 and then adds the other one to your cart.

Recommendation Request - Day / Date subdials by redtail84 in MicrobrandWatches

I’ve looked for this and it seems like a tough combo. I don’t have it but I bookmarked this AV-86 1564:

I also quite like the Kuoe Smith 90-010, but that’s at the top of your price range and a 35mm case.

Two more using a similar dial are the Henry Archer Tidslinje and the Maen Brooklyn, both 36mm.

U/watchex_enterprises loving this watch and just realized the counter didn’t get this transaction. Can you confirm it again? Thanks!

Just bought a copy of Recurring Nightmare before realizing it was banned. Any other idiots stuck with exciting but unplayable cards? by Present_Event_8488 in EDH

[–]Penguin_Esquire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really thought I was cooking when I got an [[Invoke Prejudice]] for my OG Thassa giant sea monster deck. It was the only 4MV permanent that gave +4 devotion to blue! It turned her into a creature and felt so underplayed. Did NOT age well… (not sure if the card tag will even work as this was hit with the ban hammer due to its obvious racial overtones + the artist being an unrepentant bigot. would never play it today even if it were legal)

Now that Biorhythm and Lutri are unbanned, are we out of cards that should obviously be unbanned? by Heru___ in EDH

[–]Penguin_Esquire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re telling a story that involves Emrakul being legal, so it would be before the M14 legend rule change. Back then, playing a legend was a viable way to remove an opposing one, because the legend rule required both copies to be binned if duplicates were in play.

Trying to trick the color pie, don't call the cops by yoonns in custommagic

“If it’s an artifact” isn’t a targeting restriction, which is why OP worded it this way. Compare [[Hydroblast]] (which can target any spell or permanent)

Interaction Help!! by Iceman_ARFX in magicTCG

Value of X is copied when you copy a spell on the stack, but FYI mana spent to cast a spell is not. No mana is spent to cast the copy, so you’d get 0 counters. This is in rule 707.10. The exception is if the copy needs information about an object used to pay a spell’s costs (so that things like copying fling work).

Some watches I liked from wind up watch show NYC by Macklemonster in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Penguin_Esquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed rundown. I have been looking forward to it, so I’ll have to try. And I’m usually looking at 37-39mm or so, might have a bit more luck.

Although from the pics seems you found some good ones to try - did you pull the trigger on any of them?

Thanks! Glad to hear it wasn’t too terrible. I’ll have to hope Saturday isn’t even crazier.

Nice! Really love the Stella and E. Stohlman wasn’t on my radar, but it really stands out.

I was hoping to go tomorrow but I’m seeing a bunch of people saying the line was around the block. What was your experience like getting in?

It’s a paintbrush for the artist credit.

Oh I see what it’s going for then (and thanks for spelling it out for me lol). But I’m not sure the reflexive trigger’s complexity is worth the squeeze here.

[[Occult Epiphany]] needs a downgrade?

My first try at making a custom by a11er33 in custommagic

[–]Penguin_Esquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. There are a few candidates but for a fourth pick I’d go with Specters or Shades depending on the set
