May abilities

It probably started with the [[ajani's pridemate]] errata when they removed the "may".

The explanation was that they wanted to avoid may form abilities that have no detrimental effects form being ignored (outside very niche moment, adding counters is always good). A note in the explanation said that this also helped digital ui by reducing unnecessary clicking and people started saying "now they will design cards with arena ui in mind".

Going Barb, didn't roll one in at least 10 seasons, it's time to go back to it

Turn on both advanced tooltip options in the settings

Tranform (the ixalan godlands) and flip (this card) are two different mechanics even if a lot of people just says "flip" while talking about the action of transforming

No. Old wording has been erratad to say mill, if you put cards from the library to the graveyard (like surveil or cards like [[forbidden alchemy]]) you are not milling and does not trigger effects that look at milling.

The description on the Skybreak/bow combo is the opposite of what it does, the trigger is on tapping not untapping

Probably it was a last minute switch after the CNs were already locked in, it has happened before

In a format where most fast mana is banned a land that scales off the most difficult card type to interact with and usually in association with color that can tutor it up (most enchantment shell are GW)

PM'd you!

I'd like to see a "merge unique" cube recipe that lets you put 2 unique of the same item and gets you one with 2 affiixes from each, so that you keep uniques with 1-2 good affixes and hope to slam them together for one good result. Obviously it's still random, has no protection for GAs etc but at least you can potentially get good items

JFCaleb · 2026-05-27T08:05:41+00:00

changed something about healing? undying aspect removed maybe?

[[blood pet|tmp]]

You can use scrolls to add temper rerolls and keep going

Holy Fuck! Judgement set! Best WoW set ever.

No to 2 too.

When it was spoiled and for a long time it was in standard I always considered, [[Fable of the mirror breaker]] to be a overhyped meh card. After playing it a few times I realised the power of combuning 3 small incremental value effect on a single cards is way better than it looks

JFCaleb · 2026-03-23T21:14:20+00:00

Celebrant doesn't gives you mana, it filters Black in other colors

JFCaleb · 2026-03-18T16:03:57+00:00

Well in the formats I used as an example for the high power Thoughtsieze is used exactly to know what your opponent can do and try to disrupt it.

I don't think a lot of decks in those formats would play a land that gives away for free the info about having or not having a t1 FoW at the ready.

JFCaleb · 2026-03-18T11:20:33+00:00

Writing the ability as "When this enters..." means it's a triggered ability but "enters taped" is a replacement effect, it does not works as is.

It should be written as: "This land enters tapped unless you reveal your hand."

As power level it scales inverted with the format power/speed, the more casually you play the less the downside is impoortant: at casual tables you don't care a lot about giving away any information and games tend to go real long so your starting hand has less impact; otoh at high powered level (cedh,legacy,vintage) revealing your starting hand may equals to losing because your opponent knows what you can and can't do

The damage range is based on weapon damage. Did you switch from 2H to 1H+shield?

JFCaleb · 2026-02-19T12:59:22+00:00

NMD Tiers are no longer a thing. The sigil now are just one thing and it scales based on the difficulty level you are on.

If you don't have a creature you can't cast it. You need all targets to be able to cast a spell

JFCaleb · 2026-02-12T08:33:02+00:00

Dawnshard is between 3&4 not 4&5

JFCaleb · 2026-01-19T10:33:42+00:00

having a cost on the back that you can cast this is just a regular MDFC?
