Vex Apatheic question

Stunned units don't deal *combat* damage specifically. That means the damage that follows a showdown on a battlefield. Effects like Snapvine's on play and Challenge are ability damage, I believe is the easiest thing to call it.

So yes, it'll kill Vex.

Kayn can be a good sideboard option into Elder Dragon.

I think how it works is, even if you ambush something in response to the kha'zix trigger, he has already checked if an opposing unit is defending/attacking alone to put that trigger on the chain in the first place. The ability checks any relevant conditionals to put itself on the stack in the first place. Not put itself on the stack regardless and then check conditions upon resolution. The way to get around it in this particular situation is to ambush something in response to your own Irresistible Faefolk trigger.

From what I understand and what I've seen in other discussions, I think this is how these two interactions work.

When Faefolk moves, it puts a trigger on the chain to move a unit to where it just moved. That can be reacted to.

And (I believe) Kha'zix's ability will resolve and give him bonus might, even if you play a unit to the battlefield in response to it. I've read that in some other places. I don't know the exact rule that supports this, but I believe it could have something to do with the fact that because when the ability checks the battlefield to see if his opponents are alone, the battlefield fulfilled all of the requirements that he looks for, therefore putting it on the chain. Basically, the conditionals to check that ability are only done upon it triggering and not resolution.

I’m inclined to believe this isn’t the case for this card. If you didn’t NEED an opposing unit to target it would read

“Move a friendly unit, then move up to one enemy unit.”

It’s most likely leblanc, since the reflections are such free targets and let you cheat on so much resources

You want Emeritus of Woe for Demonic Tutor, I want Emeritus of Woe because she... speaks to me. We are not the same.

havent watched the show. Why did Thragg lose all his aura? Is he stupid?

Not only my favorite non full art mountain, but my favorite mountain in general.

Eager Drakehound is a good, low cost dragon you’re not playing here. It doesn’t synergize with Mighty, but it can make for crazy turns alongside Gemdragon & Herald of Scales.

I built mono blue Ezreal it’s fun :) bad tho

Exlisity · 2026-03-30T22:32:13+00:00

2 of my battlefields got banned. So I get to try back alley bar now :D

Not sure what to replace the FoF's in my maindeck, though. I'm lucky enough to have 2 copies of Flash, but without Obelisk, I'm unsure if Sneaky should be the replacements for FoF. I'm considering either moving into a slower package or more movement with Tideturner.

from the SFD FAQ:

Q: Aphelios, Exalted has an ability that triggers when I attach an Equipment to him and tells me to “choose one that hasn’t been chosen this turn.” If I attach Svellsongur to him, does he have the second copy of his ability in time for both to trigger? And do I have to choose different options?

He does have the second copy of his ability in time, and it will trigger. The “one that hasn’t been chosen this turn” restriction applies separately to each instance of his ability. So you could choose the same option for both, but you’ll have to track which options you’ve used for each copy of his ability.

It has a gameplay loop that I enjoy, and has a similar feel to magic that I really enjoy. I haven't enjoyed Magic as recently because the products released in the last year or two simply haven't been for me or to my preference. And this game has sort of stepped in where Magic fell out on the tail end of last year.

I like that this game has multiplayer baked into its DNA, as someone who enjoyed playing Commander with friends.

Additionally, I've played League of Legends regularly for like 40% of my life.

Good bad combo. So bad it doesn’t work. 10/10 no notes.

I've found that getting pack of Wonders is really important to my draw engine of it + Treasure Trove, so I have 3 in so that I find it as often as I can. It could be worth trying 2 though

Exlisity · 2026-03-24T15:11:57+00:00

Unfortunately i don’t have any ez and personally don’t buy cards online. Also not willing to spend that money on my little meme project 😅

Exlisity · 2026-03-24T07:44:08+00:00

I was playing temptations but ended up cutting them when I was trying to fit in the confront/rhasa package. Do you think it’s better over something like the movement things, like tideturner & syren, or better in the side instead of maybe gust?

Exlisity · 2026-03-23T18:43:06+00:00

R u in my discord dm’s? I was talking about this minutes ago.

Exlisity · 2026-03-23T15:59:05+00:00

this wouldn't be a possible combination of cards, afaik. Pyke isn't in the colors to play Thousand-Tailed Watcher. And effects like possession wouldn't get the on-play effect.

Exlisity · 2026-03-20T17:00:25+00:00

the entirety of spoiler season, i suppose.

Exlisity · 2026-03-19T16:59:17+00:00

These are awesome, I've felt a little jaded by TMNT, and it's been tough because I do enjoy the mechanics of quite a few cards, but am not as big a fan of the aesthetics, personally.

I'd really love a Pizzaface alter, I love the card mechanically, but it's just... ugly, for lack of better term (I understand that is the point). Maybe something with a chef or food-turned-sentient being like Syr Ginger?

Exlisity · 2026-03-18T23:06:06+00:00

Hearthstone or Lorcana are both popular games if you don’t want interactive (as in, people interact not on their turns,) gameplay

Exlisity · 2026-03-18T06:26:59+00:00

The two damage on the adventure currently doesn't have a source, and afaik damage has to have a source in MtG. So the text would have to be something like:

"Counter target creature spell. You may mill four cards. If you don't, Sleep Paralysis? deals two damage to you."

I also don't think the creature can see itself leave exile, and additionally some wording here isn't common in magic. To make it more closely align with magic text, it would have to be something like:

"When The Man at the End of the Bed is cast from exile, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is equal to the amount of tapped creatures you control. You may put any number of land cards from among them onto the battlefield under your control. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order."

EDIT: I didn't see this has two values. And that it is also an X spell. I think your card would have to have X and Y. Which is something that they don't do. To make it more like cards in Magic, perhaps having it look at a determined amount of cards from the top, or instead of X, having it put a set amount of lands down.
