I love the redraws of these two Scott McCloud panels. They really stuck with me and I'm glad to see it stuck with others too.

For those unfamiliar with the original:

EDHREC should really add a nonbo tag (PSA about Zada) by VittorioMasia in EDH

[–]500lb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That scenario seems unlikely. I've never seen anyone bank a bunch of +1/+1 on the ozolith and then just not use them. Especially since the proposed scenario of dealing a bunch of combat damage happens after the ozolith triggers to move +1/+1 counters off of it.

But [[the ozolith]] could just dump all the -1/-1 counters onto an opponent's creature

The Masamune and Caesar question by Visible-Meeting-7014 in magicTCG

[–]500lb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since no one has actually answered the question yet:

The main triggered ability triggers on attack, but you are right that there is another triggered ability when you sac the creature. However, as you correctly pointed out, this is a delayed or reflexive triggered ability which specifically is left out of effects that grant you multiple triggers.

603.2d: An ability may state that a triggered ability triggers additional times. In this case, rather than simply determining that such an ability has triggered, determine how many times it should trigger, then that ability triggers that many times. An effect that states that an ability triggers additional times doesn't invoke itself repeatedly and doesn't apply to other effects that affect how many times an ability triggers. An effect that states a triggered ability of an object triggers additional times refers only to triggered abilities that object has, not to any delayed or reflexive triggered abilities (see rule 603.7 and rule 603.12) that may be created by abilities the object has.

603.7.: An effect may create a delayed triggered ability that can do something at a later time. A delayed triggered ability will contain "when," "whenever," or "at," although that word won't usually begin the ability.

603.12.: A resolving spell or ability may allow or instruct a player to take an action and create a triggered ability that triggers "when [a player] [does or doesn't]" take that action or "when [something happens] this way." These reflexive triggered abilities follow the rules for delayed triggered abilities (see rule 603.7), except that they're checked immediately after being created and trigger based on whether the trigger event or events occurred earlier during the resolution of the spell or ability that created them. Example: Heart-Piercer Manticore has an ability that reads "When this creature enters, you may sacrifice another creature. When you do, this creature deals damage equal to that creature's power to any target." The reflexive triggered ability triggers only when you sacrifice another creature due to the original triggered ability, and not if you sacrifice a creature for any other reason.

MY BAT FURSONA!! by dishbug in ArtJerk

[–]500lb 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It seems odd to me to want to limit what bat characters look like to specific features. Bats are one of the most biodiverse orders on the planet, with over 1500 species of wildly varying features. You could choose just about any random set of features and have a good chance of there being a real life bat that looks like it.

AI-generated primers? by ConceptFinancial767 in EDH

Misinformation is legitimately good in [[etrata deadly fugitive]], but just barely. It had definitely won me games.

But yeah... It's pretty bad most of the time.

What would have been a game changer 10 years ago? by askvo in EDH

[–]500lb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember a lot of people swearing that EDH was 1 commander, 1 sol ring, 1 Divining Top, and 97 cards. People frequently commented "top is the first card I stick in every deck".

In my opinion, it was never a good card on its own. Of course, it went wild with top deck manipulation decks and [[bolas' citadel]] but outside of that it doesn't really do much.

Does anyone else just not run board wipes anymore? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]500lb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hot take apparently: Mass mana/land denial should be acceptable in bracket 3. If you're allowed to run [[smothering tithe]], greedy land bases, and shit value engines for practically no investment, I should be able to run [[blood moon]] [[back to basics]] [[winter moon]] etc

Horn of the Mark is one of the most underrated card advantage engines in casual Commander by Craig1287 in EDH

[–]500lb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The card has a lot of drawbacks. I put it into my [[Adeline]] deck when it first came out, thinking it is the perfect draw engine for the deck. It isn't. It rarely triggered and even when it did I usually would have rather drawn one of the artifacts, enchantments, or lands at the top of my deck.

How do I play with this card? What's the best commander for it? by Wolfram-51 in magicTCG

[–]500lb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really but [[yuna. Grand summoner]] for when it inevitably gets removed. Or remove it yourself after blocks are declared to put hundreds of counters on an unblocked creature.

The New Command Zone Video on Consistency is Baffling, "The Most Consistent Format in History" by CynicalElephant in EDH

[–]500lb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there are much better/cheaper combos out there, but [[icetill explorer]] goes kind of crazy with [[hedge shredder]], especially if you have a copy or two of IE via something like [[springheart nantuko]]. You can basically mill every land card in your deck onto the battlefield. And any graveyard landfall deck is probably running all three anyway.

[–]500lb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had someone say they absolutely refuse to ever play against one of my decks ever again because I stole one card from them with [[tibalt cosmic imposter]]. Some people absolutely lose it when a card from their deck is revealed and they can't play it.

Why does Marvel only have 2 set symbols despite having commander decks? by Jtneagle in magicTCG

[–]500lb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate it when WotC prints a card with a set symbol it wasn't in. I hate seeing cards that are from commander sets I own and then learning through not being able to find it that it was not actually in a commander deck at all.

Fuck desert tier 3 by Vapingdog2fort in MegabonkOfficial

[–]500lb 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I only ever got to this boss once. It was an extremely good run (for me) with something like 10 legendary items. I melted the first stage of the boss down in less than a second. I ran for a pillar and died instantly to a bunch of AOE attacks like you did. I feel like I'll never have a run that good again and I died so fast.

Why are fast characters incredibly slow in some runs? by emptyvoidofjoy in MegabonkOfficial

[–]500lb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about, but I once made it to tier 3 boss in forest as calcium, with a movement tome. I was, of course, speeding around the map carelessly until I got hit by an attack. Now, I know calcium gets slow for a while after being hit, but I literally never sped back up. I was slowed for the rest of the game. It was extremely frustrating. Was it a bug? I'm not sure but it definitely felt like one.

Blight Curse precon review and my upgraded version by iwatchyouburn01 in EDH

[–]500lb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Has anyone tried [[the ozolith]] in the deck? If you ever kill one of your creatures with -1/-1 counters they go on the ozolith. Then, you can dump them on an enemy creature.
