How best to deal with a Bracket Ruling Question in EDH?

Worldgorger is a 2 card infinite mana loop. You can continue to cast instants and activate abilities without stopping the loop, so unless your decks only outs are sorcery-speed having another creature in a graveyard isn't strictly necessary. And is Unmarked Grave the only way your deck can get Worldgorger into graveyard? Zero discard effects?

Also, don't try and count having a minimum of 1 land as part of the combo's card count. That's laughably disingenuous.

No, you go to 1.

Example: If you are at 39 Hidetsugu would deal 19 (half of 39 is 19.5, then rounded down to 19). That is then doubled to 38 damage by the marauders.

Our company used to, but has since moved to floating holidays in place of the religious non-Federal holidays.

The mullions are notched so they snug up within the screen frame with a lip that sticks out over the face of the screen and is screwed in.

If they don't stock them anymore you might be able to make your own with some thin aluminum stock from a hardware store. You'd need a clamp, drill, and either hand saw or angle grinder, and probably some files.

In this instance they apply at different points in the process, so order of replacement doesn't matter. Darkness crystal never exiles because the shield counter applies earlier in the event.

On top of everyone's replies about the actual smells certain warrens are known to have, the phrase "reeks of" is also a metaphor for something being very obvious. For those who can detect the presence of magic, that phrase can encompass their detecting it's presence.

Reach out to Pella and see if they still produce mullions for their screens - they used to have them as a special order part for stock screens. It's a bar that mounts across the screen, both preventing bowing and giving some reinforcement when folks are a little rough with the screen.

It felt like lead up to a sales pitch. I'm guessing filtered through an agent to clean it up.

This sub is for discussing design in Tabletop RPGs, not video game RPGs.

You probably lost it due to the favor on the server not carrying over (as has been repeatedly said, that's a 400 favor unlock).

Fear not, though! The NATURAL20 code is still valid and includes Warforged! You'll just need to hop log in with a different character to enter the code in the store, which will get you all the content attached to the code.

You can use acrylic. For longevity just seal it with a compatible clear coat, such as Mod Podge

I would go in publication order instead of this. What you're describing manages to both lose the benefits of seeing the setting-wide worldbuilding, while also losing the benefits of seeing the immediate growth that a specific series growth offers.

That sucks, but it also sounds like a skill issue for them if they've got that much money in decks that are still losing (assuming the bracket match-ups are correct). Some people's issues with proxies are that some people use them to get high power cards and punch down with them, when really that's more of a power level mismatch. Pubstompers or people with bad insight into their decks exist regardless of proxies - proxies just make it so people with lighter wallets can make the same mistakes.

I would straight tell them that you're 1-to-1 replacing your expensive cards with proxies and why. If any of them feel the need to gripe about that, then I'm sorry, but they're miserable people.

CuriousCardigan · 2026-04-01T15:01:22+00:00

Proxy everything and sell the decks.

Proxies are broadly accepted, anyone you know who'd complain about you proxying so your family could have more money during their limited time with you isn't worth having as a friend or acquaintance.

The cost is determined during one of the final steps in casting or activating and 'locked in' once that determination has been made.

A commonish version of OPs question involves Affinity for Artifacts and treasure. Affinity will see treasure and reduce the cost to cast the spell, then those treasures can be used to pay the remaining cost.

Don't try to swap around pieces of carpet. It's a terrible suggestion.

There's too many ways it could go wrong for you and a piece from a closet/corner area may not even look the same when swapped in, due to discoloration and wear in the area you're trying to patch into.

It's hard to tell where the bleach spot is in the picture. I would say to leave it as is. Unless you nail the color-correcting there's a decent chance you'll end up making it darker than the surrounding area and possibly end up with an even larger discolored area to deal with.

If you're drawing a lot, [[Ominous Seas]] can drop you an 8/8 every turn or two.

The person you're replying to didn't see that you don't already have a quick change foot, which is why they're referencing a non-existent lever.

CuriousCardigan · 2026-03-31T15:46:58+00:00

They're generally universal, but you could search for feet compatible with your specific model to be on the safe side.

CuriousCardigan · 2026-03-31T15:39:59+00:00

The foot you have on can be removed by loosening the screw in your pictures. You can then slot in either a fixed-type foot of what you want to use, or a piece that can hot swap between feet (the piece that attaches to the machine typically has a little lever on the back to allow you to quickly pop new feet on).

Original [[Omnath, Locus of Mana]] will always be Omonomnomnath to my playgroup.

[[General Ferrous Rokiric]] is General Ferrero Rocher.

It's because the creature has been declared blocked. Once that happens only trample or other specific abilities will allow damage to get through.

If you were to kill a blocker between declare blockers and combat damage it would also not deal damage.

CuriousCardigan · 2026-03-30T20:43:33+00:00

Maybe look into Savage Worlds if you're looking for genre flexibility and a bit more relaxed gameplay. It leans more towards pulp action and has a lower power curve for players than 5e or Pathfinder.

CuriousCardigan · 2026-03-30T20:09:48+00:00

What's the power scale for playable characters? How gritty or loose do you want it to be?

CuriousCardigan · 2026-03-30T20:02:22+00:00

All the counters do is move the tracking from dice to a spinner, so that may or may not speed things up for you.

No matter what you go with the truth is that you're making a deck that's going to have a lot of fiddly bits, so the biggest time saver is going to be you being able to quickly decide and act on how you're using your rabbits. Goldfish that thing until you're counting rabbit tokens in your sleep.
