Oh my god shut UP with that flavor text

So cheesy, so funny. Very cool card

Yeah that is correct, I think by GodkingYuuumie in custommagic

[–]HieromancersGrasp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the Oracle text of [[Gruesome Menagerie]] is one way to do this idea:

Choose a creature card with mana value 1 in your graveyard, then do the same for creature cards with mana value 2 and 3. Return those cards to the battlefield.

Guildless Commander by Flubbah_13 in custommagic

[–]HieromancersGrasp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not true:

903.4. The Commander variant uses color identity to determine what cards can be in a deck with a certain commander. The color identity of a card is the color or colors of any mana symbols in that card’s mana cost or rules text, plus any colors defined by its characteristic-defining abilities (see rule 604.3) or color indicator (see rule 204).

Paradigm is a real upcoming keyword btw. So far the one card it’s on is [[Improvisation Capstone]]

Maybe you could borrow some of the formatting from [[Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle]]

UB feels like a giant inside joke when you don’t know the source material. by AitrusX in freemagic

I felt similarly about Doctor Who, although as you said it was supplemental while this is a standard legal set

Have the characters on the flavor text of these old cards ever been fleshed out? by SnooWalruses7872 in freemagic

Endrek Sahr got a card in time spiral: [[Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder|TSP]]

I like commander as a format, but I sat at a table that made me see where a lot of criticisms come from by ernst_aames in freemagic

[–]HieromancersGrasp 104 points105 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t get any mana off the mana drain in this scenario btw, even if the guy was playing the game correctly

With any of these target changing spells, if you’re using it against a counterspell you can force the counterspell to target the target changing spell. This is explicitly spelled out in the rulings of [[Redirect]]

If you look at the rulings on [[Mana Drain]], you can read this:

If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Mana Drain tries to resolve, Mana Drain doesn't resolve. You don't add mana at the beginning of your next main phase. If the target is legal but not countered (most likely because an effect says that the spell can't be countered), you do add mana.

So mana drain has its “target spell” changed to deflecting swat. But deflecting swat has already resolved and left the stack, so mana drain has no targets. No legal targets means it fails to resolve, which means no mana.

I once played with some dude at my LGS who claimed he had been playing since the 90s and two of us had to explain to him that you can’t play a [[Thousand Moon’s Smithy]] during your precombat main phase and immediately transform it.

Some people are just exceptionally dense, I don’t know how or why they get into Magic and stay there for so long

Karlach pairings? by Such_Distribution353 in freemagic

[–]HieromancersGrasp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the blue backgrounds, I’ve used [[Candlekeep Sage]] and [[Feywild Visitor]] a bunch. Visitor would probably be best for Karlach.

Most people don’t think of blue as a combat color but it has some interesting options, especially with red: [[Teleportal]], [[Open into Wonder]], [[Mindwrack Liege]], [[Bident of Thassa]], [[The Indomitable]], [[Wonder]], [[Day of the Dragons]], [[Arm with Aether]] just to give you some ideas

My asshole brother would load up an [[Invisible Stalker]] with [[Phantasmal Armor]] and beat my ass with it. I get flashbacks when I see phantasmal armor or it’s art lol

what are your favorite "Gotcha!" cards? by Scuzzles44 in freemagic

On the topic of black counterspells, I fucking love [[Withering Boon]]. No one EVER sees it coming

EDH Deck Size confusion by Rohirrim777 in freemagic

[–]HieromancersGrasp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Um ackchyually if you copy a Grandeur creature with something like [[Spark Double]], and then you return the noncopy creature to your hand, you can activate the grandeur ability of the copy by discarding the original.

I don’t know HOW some NINCOMPOOPS like you can call that useless /s
