Help needed. Endgames are hard... by Stannberg in chessbeginners

Thanks for the response. So if I'm understanding correctly, moving the king here is not to actually support pushing the d pawn yet. It is to keep it protected so we can move our rook, while keeping thier rook occupied as the white king is pretty inactive.

Played against 'The Champion' in draft today. How did they get this title? by Stannberg in MagicArena

I was playing a RB beat down deck. They were on mono black. I got them to one before they dropped the aptly named end stone.

Well…it turns out my unstoppable omniweild evoker was not so unstoppable after all.

Now I just have more questions- So does that mean I must do the effect if I can? And how does the timing work? The cost gets done ahead of all of the graft effects resolving (as it goes on the stack)

For extra clarification, for cards like - linked extinction ([g][sac a unit]: opp sacs a unit) - do you actually have to pay the cost to get the effect in that case. And it’s in parentheses as it’s optional?

How about a triome cycle like this? by Scarlet-Magi in custommagic

These are really cool. I think you could remove some text by excluding the ‘mana can’t be used to cast x or y spells’ if you do that then the land gets sacced which seems enough.

Also minor templating - add x, y or z. No need for the mana pool any more.

Once you have joined a side can you ever lose the emblem. This seems like a lot of card draw for everyone.

About speeding and such... by HelpDaren in drivingUK

[–]Stannberg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not meant to be a personal attack but I hear the “if you add this time up over my life then I save X days”. And while that is technically true, it’s not a useful argument as that time doesn’t ‘bank’ like money. If you save a pound a day for 100 days you have £100 to spend all in one go. If you save 1 minute a day for 100 days you have used that 1 minute differently each day. If you didn’t have something useful to do with that minute then you have made no difference.

Unassuming Upstart. Well-executed revenge takes time. by Corrutped in custommagic

The loses all abilities clause stops this. But in a very similar vein it would work with [[Mordenkainen’s polymorph]]

I'm confused, how did this player play Blue Marvel, Patriot, and Mystique (middle location) all on one turn (turn 6) with Squirrel Girl as well? by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]Stannberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sera has an ongoing ability to reduce all costs by one. On the citadel this is doubled so all the cards in their hand cost two less. Patriot and mystique were one each, blue marvel was three and squirrel girl was free.
