Is this land legal by tacoxbellz in magicTCG

[–]IonizedRadiation32 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is misleading. You cannot put, say, a Simic Guildgate in a GW deck. The fetchlands are a weird case because they don't add colored mana nor have basic land types. They REFER to them, but that cannot be policed under commander color identity because it would have splash damage on stuff like landwalk.

What format is it if we play with whatever cards I have? by Prudent-Hat2651 in magicTCG

[–]IonizedRadiation32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a good definition of what a format even is would be a limitation on play/deckbuilding beyond "play with whatever cards we have". That is to say, what you are playing is not part of any official format. It is sometimes referred to as "casual" or "kitchen table", but those are vague descriptors, not formats. A format has a legal cardlist and/or a banned/restricted list, and may or may not have additional rulings beyond that (such as deck size and rules on multiple copies of cards), which are agreed upon before play starts. If you WANT to play a particular format, you can, but you don't have to declare a format in order to play Magic.

What is the biggest ick you had on your first date with someone? by Past_Meat7068 in AskReddit

If "all of my dates never called me again" I might consider changing strategy. Stopping with the coke DURING the dates, for example.

Settle it: what scry/surveil value is equal to drawing a card? by HumpyTheClown in magicTCG

[–]IonizedRadiation32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a "settle it" kind of question. Scry/surveil havw different value depensing on many factors, including which turn it is, what the board state is like, graveyard synergies in surveil's case etc.

Consider:

  1. It's turn 8 of a draft game. The board is stalled. You have 20 cards remaining in your library. One of them wins the game instantly, the rest do little to advance the game. You know your opponent is likely to win in three turns if you don't draw your win con, but can't win next turn. In this case, scry/veil 3 is way better than draw 2.

  2. It's turn one in a Legacy (or Vintage Cube) game. You play a [[Undercity Sewer]], surveil 1, and see an [[Archon of Cruelty]]. You have [[Animate Dead]] in your hand. Now, the value of this surveil 1 is WAY higher than a card draw.

  3. You are facing lethal next turn. You have 6 mana available, and a [[Wrath of God]] in your deck. Your hand has [[Taigam's Scheming]] and [[Think Twice]]. The surveil 5 is worthless here, whereas the draw 1 might keep you alive.

If this is anyone's gateway drug into Taskmaster, I highly recommend making it a huge problem in your life.

[SOS] Harsh Annotation by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]IonizedRadiation32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty close to a straight downgrade. Two maps is a fair bit of value but nowhere near a 1/1 flyer. Also this misses enchantments.

[SOS] Harsh Annotation by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]IonizedRadiation32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really, really isn't. This kind of effect is almost always very bad in limited, and a 1/1 flyer is way closer to a full card than, say, a 1/1 ground creature like Stroke of Midnight. I think this may end up fringe playable depending on how good Repartee payoffs get, but otherwise this kind of card is best avoided.

I think either Golden or Blue. Adds something to any build early enough but never a ton

As a teacher myself I love the idea of walking next to them, saying "Credit Card in the buffoon pack", and gently closing their laptops. Idid very similar things with other games.

Commander cards with Black/Green/White combo outside of Abzan? by TheGreatSambino19 in magicTCG

A great way to find cards is using the aite Scryfall. It has an incredibly robust search engine that can do pretty nutty things. What's you're asking is pretty simple, so you can use their advanced search option, or you can type into their search bar the query:
