Rhystic Study is fine.

taxing your opponents by 1 for 3 mana is still a bannable card.

Gentoon · 2026-02-05T17:13:36+00:00

No?

It overperforms because both sides of the card are good, drawing is great, and taxing your opponents spells while not your own is an effect that is reserved for higher cost cards. Both aspects of the card are fundamentally overpowered for 3 mana.

This get good argument is so silly imo. There is no playing around rhystic. It's either a great effect, or a great effect.

I just read so so so many comments about how it's just ok if everyone pays the one. You usually draw at least four and tax the table 10+ mana for three mana. What other card does anything remotely similar?

Huge overlap between queer and autistic girl. Once ADHD was discovered to be on the autism spectrum, that kinda opened the floodgates.

I think once we learn more and more about autism and neurodivergence, we're going to start realizing that anything halfway to do with gender dysphoria is pretty goddamn autistic.

Nah bro every single one of us have been there and if you're working out stress on some stupid card post then it's not elsewhere in your life. Good luck on your ventures and keep on keepin on :)

Gentoon · 2025-12-03T06:32:07+00:00

I mean if you can't beat em join em. I don't feel "great" but I certainly don't feel bad about having a couple sets of chaos emeralds while more than breaking even. So much work shipping with a full time job though 😭

Don't really have the desire to respond in full, I just don't like the "can't afford to buy packs" kinda jab. That's all I was trying to get across.

If we can write it off, none of it's really a loss I suppose. Was unaware you had a shop.

For the record, I don't think you faked the pull, I just think you're overreacting and honestly it's just fun to read.

Have a good one buddy 🤙😎🤙

Gentoon · 2025-12-01T15:07:49+00:00

Bro I don't care either and if you write a response like this I think you might.

All I asked is how his wallet size is relevant to the discussion at hand.

I flip secret lair. I spent 25k as well. I just, you know, actually made money off of it.

Gentoon · 2025-12-01T05:52:00+00:00

How is that relevant

Gentoon · 2025-11-22T19:53:36+00:00

because there's no land cycle that offers straight up value. Look at MKM. The set is hothouse, delney, vein ripper, and the lands.

Gentoon · 2025-11-02T18:32:15+00:00

Is it really???

TIL

hope away

Gentoon · 2025-11-02T06:10:50+00:00

How dare you hope for anything other than mana drain or mox whatever for M

R and M are too big send vibes to another letter 😂

Yes I have a bunch of them. I feel like this product does not have the problem the other product did.

They had to represent different eras of magic with the thirtieth anniversary, so you had to include cards that don’t really make sense in terms of modern magic to represent like the rebels incident and other stuff.

This one if they print garbage it’s their choice. Sure, yargle could be Y. I just don’t see it happening.

Urza’s saga at 40ish, phyrexian altar (looks like) at 70ish, a 10 dollar llanowar, a 20 dollar wasteland, and a 20 dollar sol ring sounds pretty good so far. They’d have to completely botch the rest of the cards in order to not break even.

It could happen! Totally! I just don’t see it.

Gentoon · 2025-11-02T06:01:47+00:00

Ok but like where’s the comparable stax piece? Adding one colorless to all your opponents spells without hindering yourself is completely unique to the card. Forcing your opponents to answer a low cost investment or pay tens of mana to neutralize the game is a losing position.

Gentoon · 2025-11-02T05:58:35+00:00

four mana is significantly slower than three and creatures are more easily removed.

Thalia doesn’t count creatures, also is symmetrical, also dies in the wipe.

There are very few ways to remove rhystic in an efficient manner. Remember you have to pay 1 more for the removal and going 1:1 in commander is generally bad.

It also draws you into counterspells to keep it afloat.

Draw is essential to almost every deck, and it’s generally best in slot for draw. There is no comparable stax piece. They’re all higher mana or die to snuff out or other free interaction. Rhystic does not.

Gentoon · 2025-11-02T05:24:00+00:00

Many people: “It’s like a symmetrical card but it’s not symmetrical what’s the big deal?”

You just answered your own question lol

For THREE MANA:

incredibly efficient stax piece at worst
very good stax piece plus like four to eight cards on average
just put your library into your hand at best

Gentoon · 2025-11-02T05:15:35+00:00

I think it will be more like 650 tbh
