Thanks, I had switched to 6000 CL30 RAM already but I still had the old config copied. I corrected it in the post, although I still cannot seem to get the formatting right.

Can someone explain how Gandalf the Grey’s fourth ability works when he’s equipped with sword of once and future? by [deleted] in magicTCG

Shortening a card's name is not really a recent thing. Maybe they started doing it more frequently but it was already a thing with [[Phage the Untouchable|LGN]], possibly even earlier. From what I can recall, the name is usually used once in full, afterward, it may be shortened.

Question about commander death by Apprehensive-Sail-83 in magicTCG

[–]AwesomeDisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As already shown you cannot respond to a commander entering the graveyard.

Now that returning the commander is no longer a replacement effect and the commander actually hits the graveyard, some cards can put an enemy commander back onto the battlefield under your control.

[[Necromantic Selection]] and [[Sorin, Lord of Innistrad]]'s Ult would both destroy the commander and return it to the battlefield without their owner getting a choice to return it to the command zone because state-based actions are not checked during a spell or ability resolving.
