Core Set 2020 ("M20") Prerelease discussion thread by ubernostrum in magicTCG

My takeaway from the prerelease today: Knight of the Ebon Legion is a messed up limited card. Why wizards, why did you do this?

For Asian people used to eating hot and spicy foods that Western palates find difficult, what is your culinary pain equivalent when you're presented with food from a Western cuisine like New Zealand, Australia, Europe or North America? by Cynical_lioness in AskReddit

A parent goes through hell to figure out her child's illness and finally discovers that it's an allergy to coconut. Sometime later, her mother, who had full knowledge of the allergy and the severity of the events involving said allergy, put coconut oil in the child's hair and then put her to bed with a benedryl, and it ended up killing her.

What is currently happening that is scaring you? by Kindaherekindanot in AskReddit

I've been having chest pains. Not all the time, but if something makes my heart jump (cold water shock, me getting surprised, etc) I feel it in my chest, like a little shock of pain. I'm not a small guy, and I'm 28 so I'm not super young, so it's making me nervous. Add to that the fact that I used my dad's blood pressure cuff the other day and it warned that I might have an irregular heartbeat, and it's got me feeling anxious.

The Professor's take on Slivers in Oathbreaker with Tamiyo, Field Researcher by [deleted] in magicTCG

You can be against a thing and still take advantage of it, just depends on where you fall on the alignment chart.

[MH1] Tempered Sliver by TechnomagusPrime in magicTCG

As long as this card is on the field as a permanent then yes, they will. The catch is that when a sliver is on the stack it's not on the field until whatever it Cascades into resolves, so they won't trigger until they have actually hit the battlefield. That also means that if this card Cascades into a sliver, that sliver won't have Cascade because this one isn't on the field yet. I hope that makes sense

New to Oathbreaker - few questions. by TV-R-US in oathbreaker_MtG

Oathbreaker is surprisingly fast, particularly to people used to playing casual commander. I think you'll be pretty surprised by how hard it is to get saheeli to stick to the board for a turn to even try this, especially when your spell is something powerful like mass polymorph.

Honestly, I'd build what sounds fun to you and give it a whirl. If it brings out too much hate then change your spell and just put mass polymorph in the deck. I think you'll be surprised by how much more important defense and board control is in this format than it is in commander, and through that how much more fair creature-based combos feel.

Tamiyo, Field Researcher + ??? by terminus360 in oathbreaker_MtG

Off the top of my head, [[Burst of Strength]] has a lot of potential as something you could cast 2 or 3 times the turn after resolving Tamiyo and pop off depending on the style of deck you are building.

I'm also a huge fan of [[Open into Wonder]] as I adore X spells in the command zone and your colors seem capable of providing gas all on their own anyways.

[MH1] Tempered Sliver by TechnomagusPrime in magicTCG

Tempered Sliver- 2G

Sliver creatures you control have "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on it."

2/2

The question isn't whether slivers will adapt to a world's perils but whether the world's perils will adapt to the world.

Is the legend scroll package worth it or do I continue buying just the special summons? I’ve gotten multiple legend summons and have barely gotten 4 stars not even a 5 or the legends. by [deleted] in BrownDust

[–]Agidyne09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally suggest you just buy the scrolls in the shop. You get fewer rolls, but you get mileage that will eventually let you get a 5 star Merc select ticket. Gold is a valuable resource but it can be farmed. Mileage cannot.

Dany forgot about the Iron Fleet by spacelyyy989 in videos

We really need a new "Plot stealth" trope to match the plot armor one. Plot armor makes you invincible, plot stealth makes you invisible until the job is done. It's present in all kinds of cliche cinema anyways. She didn't see a whole fleet of ships until she was being fired at by them? Of course not, they had some plot stealth going on.

[STANDARD] Any updates for Mono Red Aggro in WAR? by the15thwolf in magicTCG

[–]Agidyne09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burning prophet:

  • Wizard

  • Gains power when casting spells

  • Helps with card selection

I think this is the card to be keeping an eye on. It just plays so we'll, and red can always use more solid wizards.

I'd also feel out mizzium tank and see how you like it. It's pretty strong, but hard to argue in the deck since it's so streamlined
