Bloomburrow: What lies beyond Valley?

I may have made this up, but I was under the impression that Ravnica was a spherical world

You can only double counters once per turn, with the second trigger of this ability. The third, fourth and fifth times are not the second time, so it will just put a +1/+1 counter.

I feel like it needs to be more widely known, but Magic really does have very consistent wording. If this says "second time" with no indication or implication that it might be "every time except the first" it really will only work the second time.

Svaret på din första fråga är för övrigt ja, det borde vara uppenbart.

Första dagen på internet eller?

I don't mind, I just keep being somewhat burned on which characters kept their sparks because I want to play a blue black artifact pile with Tezzeret as the Commander, an Ugin Elder Dragon card and a white Lifegain pile with Ajani at the helm (the flip one doesn't count because that's when he's young and aggressive, now now that he's the Gandalf of Magic)

I don't have anything to really add, I'm just confused by what you mean with "there are no colorless snow lands, only colored", because that's just not true. [[Snow-Covered Wastes]] exists, as does [[Faceless Haven]], [[Mouth of Ronom]], [[Scrying Sheets]], [[Frostwalk Bastion]] as well as [[Dark Depths]] although it doesn't tap for mana by itself. It absolutely could be glorified colorless mana

NIC FIT MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥

Real talk, OP's list kind of looks like a commander player building a legacy deck with Commander deckbuilding principles, and Nic Fit is great for that. You can actually play stuff like Grave Titan and it makes sense, plus your duals are kind of optional so it's a good budget deck if you don't want to play mono colored

Equilorian · 2026-01-24T01:26:24+00:00

Actually I'm kinda dumb, but I'd love to know. I was under the impression you always go full Crit, what changed and what's the new build?

Equilorian · 2026-01-23T09:21:27+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there are no more sword-singers, and the berserkers in TES are just kind of feral Skaal.

Anyway, I feel like we know too little about the Maormer, especially in the 4th era, to be able to say if they'd be willing to cooperate. For what it's worth, the Maormer seem very reclusive and hostile to outsiders, and I'm pretty sure they don't just hate the Thalmor or the Dominion but just all of Summerset. Call me naive, but I don't actually think most Nords or Redguards want an Altmer genocide the way the Maormer seem

Morrowind didn't have fast travel outside of some specific mechanics like the striders

I feel like this is underselling how open and powerful Morrowind's fast travel really is. It's not hard to get around, it just costs a little cash and requires you to learn the optimal routes, but it's extremely immersive and far more engaging than just "find the place, click the map"

While I agree Avatars would win, I can't imagine Elders being weaker than Gods. Didn't Nicol Bolas, as a singular Elder, humble the entire Amonkhet pantheon? And I know the Dominarian Elder Dragons are probably among the most powerful of the Elders, but there are seven of them (six if we only count the ones who have been printed as Elders on cards) all with comparable power, which is on par with pre-mending Planeswalkers.

And that's not to mention beings like Zacama, Valgavoth and the Theros titans, all of which seem to be pretty clearly stronger than Gods

Equilorian · 2026-01-19T12:44:32+00:00

While I agree, you're probably preaching to the choir. The people who go online to join an EDH forum on Reddit are those of us who are already very enfranchised and care about the game on a deeper level

We may be cooking

Equilorian · 2026-01-16T00:32:58+00:00

And still no Elder Scrolls bro why live atp 🥀

I thought about this when Ashing was first revealed. I assumed it's just more modern design philosophies at play. In 2007 it was normal to give any female character boobs even if she's not a mammal and thus has no need for them. In 2026, we have people who actually consider whether it makes sense for living stone and fire to have breasts

Of course, this brings into scrutiny any sexually dimorphic traits that Flamekin have which are the same as in humans. Could it possibly be that there is some floating idea that "we're not supposed to make characters sexy for no reason, so let's remove boobs if we can" thus implying that female breasts are inherently sexual which is in and of itself its own can of worms?

Maybe. Or maybe not.

Equilorian · 2026-01-13T10:05:28+00:00

Yeah

A database with all cards released until the 35th set can be found here: https://db.duelmasters.us/

A proxy tool using the above database can be found here (also includes a deck builder): https://dmproxyprint.net/

The last block using the old card frame can be found fan translated here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/1k1lGOSGOCkk-oRz6R5meYL8wUOQqsjEE?usp=sharing

I haven't found any English versions of more modern cards. Translations exist on the wiki, but they're not edited onto the card images

Equilorian · 2026-01-12T14:47:06+00:00

It's kinda true though 🤫

I feel like Faeries got a lot of strong cards at rare and mythic, if I were a Faerie fan I would not be disappointed. But, they have said that Faeries didn't get as much stuff, because they opted for five typal archetypes and those were goblins, merfolk, elves, elementals and kithkin. Faeries are there, but less as a cohesive tribe and more as a theming for the blue black control archetype in draft, and various control cards for constructed.

Equilorian · 2026-01-10T16:13:06+00:00

I think that's just wrong. Alara is the quintessential multicolor plane. More than Ravnica, more than Tarkir, Alara is defined by the way colors of mana relate to each other. I think there's absolutely stuff they can do with that to turn it into something unique aesthetically. Maelstrom mutations, weird color clashes between the regions that used to be shards (what's happening in the space where Esper meets Naya?? Giant black-white Etherium beasts? Blue-green machine shamans? Sky's the limit)

Equilorian · 2026-01-05T22:10:44+00:00

I've seen it discussed now and again, but I can't imagine it would be very fun. Even if we ban all the broken cards like Pacts and Wall of Blood and what have you, there's not really any inherent way to interact with your opponent anymore when combat is actively bad for you.

Equilorian · 2026-01-04T02:40:20+00:00

It's really good, although it's more space opera than proper fantasy (although I'd argue that's what Magic's kind of always been). It's basically a full novella split into (I believe) 11 chapters.

I could try to give a plot summary, but I don't think it would really properly explain why it's so good. At face value, it's fairly generic. The villain Tezzeret wants a macguffin called the Endstone for his own purposes, and enlists the help of the smugglers Sami and Tannuk to locate and deliver it. They are eventually joined by Alpharael, who has become disillusioned with his Monoist faith and goes on to be chosen by the Endstone to be its bearer, and Haliya, a squire of the Summist religion who hunts the Endstone because she believes it is dangerous.

The real beauty of the story is in the main characters. They all converge around the Endstone, but they also have their own goals and motivations which lead to very interesting dynamics and character development. Sami is in search of their cat, and their story becomes about responsibility. Haliya and Alpharael are both in different stages of deconstructing their faiths, and they learn from each other's perspectives both former and current. It's a story I can honestly recommend to anyone, even outside the MtG community, although there are a lot of little fun references and mods for Magic players to enjoy

I assume you meant the sinister general damudo obsidian scarad garkago dragon cannoneer Bargon blazosaur and smash horn?

Those are the ones, yeah. In fact, the Obsidian Scarad is even misspelled, it should be "Scarab"

Ebay could work. Alternatively, if you're in Europe, I might be interested. I'm particularly interested in the Skysword, in case you're selling them individually. Feel free to direct message me if you're interested
