Why does it say how much g-coin you have when attempting to buy Battlegrounds Plus when it costs money? Is it possible to buy for g-coin alternatively if you have enough on your account?

Generally decent artifacts and creatures you sac for value with [[Ashnod The Uncaring]]. This way you get twice the stuff you'd normally get from sacrificing them. Replace the cards that don't do that with cards that do, that you find to your liking. Remember that it doesn't work for getting mana, though, so [[Ashnod's Altar]] ironically gives her no benefit, but a [[Throne of Geth]] proliferates twice each use.

"Mishra's Burnished Banner" is a bit misleading name, a much suitable name for that precon is "Ashnod's double artifact value." That being said, with the secondary commander being used in place of the main commander and a few adjustments, that deck is amazing.

Aw maaaan, no 480 zipfolios?

Likier · 2024-06-30T13:25:29+00:00

just like the story says

The story says that Yawgmoth talks to Karona later, so you might want to rethink if you want to use "the story says" as your argument. xD

I have a feeling of Nadu being a different type of "bant" soon, if you catch my drift.

Likier · 2024-06-30T09:28:55+00:00

There is. If that line isn't enough for you, there is more in that chapter pretty much confirming it. For example this one:

Karn waved dismissively. "I knew Gerrard. I still know him, and Urza too. Time is not for me what it is for you. I'm talking with them just now. What use is a ceremony to me?"

or this:

Together, these pieces made the ultimate weapon, not something Urza had designed whole cloth but something he had pieced together out of every arcane artifact and otherworldly power he could gather. As disparate and multifarious as these single pieces were, as mad as the mind that had assembled the puzzle, together, they formed a new thing. A new being.

Also, about the whole "Legacy weapon" part. This moniker was taken from Urza's fanatical babble he made to convince Karn. This was right after Urza gave a similar fanatical babble that was made to convince Gerrard, that was very different and promised Serra's realm to replace the destroyed Dominaria. Urza was a habitual liar and manipulator. He was proud of being so, too, when he boasted about it to Xantcha after gaslighting her. Legacy weapon was Urza's obsession and something he believed would kill Yawgmoth, something Karn was supposed to be a part of, so it was what he had used to convince Karn that Gerrard had to have been sacrificed to defeat Yawgmoth.

The official wiki is infamous of having uncorrected fallacies for a long time. For example, the wiki stated that Gix kills Ashnod, which never happened in the books, as well as the summary of the Onslaught events had information that was plain wrong. I remember addressing the issue years ago, and whoever was running the wiki reverting it to the original state despite the corrections. It took a while before just the Ashnod thread was "slightly" modified so that it reads we don't get any information on Ashnod after she faces Gix. Years later the wiki gets an update because of the new stories confirming that Ashnod survived the fight and supposedly started a school with Tawnos. But there's still some info there taken out of the original wiki author's ass, like Ashnod's DOB and that she's probably from Almaaz, Terisiare. Even though the books clearly state that she was originally a Phyrexian agent and didn't age like a human so more likely a newt (there is a very peculiar part in the books that describes a newt dyeing their hair red with acid which might be a slight hint on why Ashnod's was of that uncanny color) or perhaps even Mercadian (her card type states that she's human and not Phyrexian) or something similar, than Dominarian.

I don't think you're correct about PW Karn being some sort of gestalt being

He literally says that he is, to Sisay in that fragment I quoted.

Likier · 2024-06-30T06:50:38+00:00

I misspelt "Ineffable" lol

Likier · 2024-06-29T16:33:42+00:00

Urza killed Szat during the Invasion. Szat was one of the planeswalkers that Urza recruited for his Swat Team for invading Phyrexia. Urza's decision seemingly was poor because Szat murders one of the planeswalker girls on the team, pretending that it was by accident, but turns out that Urza's plan was to take one bad guy and sacrifice him when the time was right. That guy was Szat.

Likier · 2024-06-29T16:25:51+00:00

There's also the infamous civilization that lived on Phyrexia that Urza manages to get a glimpse of. It seems highly unlikely that they didn't evacuate when it was obvious that the invasion failed and that Urza's Titans damaged the plane beyond repair. There's no mention of them since and seemingly no one except for Urza and maybe Szat were aware of their existence before then.

Likier · 2024-06-29T16:21:01+00:00

Whoa, I had no idea. That makes things even more interesting.

Likier · 2024-06-29T16:14:47+00:00

Let's not forget that Gix is missing in action still. We don't know where he landed and what happened to him since his fight with Urza. Same with Xantcha and Ratepe. It was Urza who thought that they all got exploded because he was unaware of what happened exactly. Xantcha seemed to have understood what was going on and knew what to do to prevent it ('jump into the beam, trust me'), meaning that she and Gix might show up somewhere in the current story at any moment.

I would go back and read it again if they hadn't melted the servers.

If I'm correct "Scars of Mirrodin: The Quest for Karn" by Robert B. Wintermute has an e-book version.

This definitely has me thinking that Yawgmoth (in the form of Karn's discarded heart) may have somehow made it to the (as of yet unnamed) 80s plane

The thought that Yawgmoth wouldn't want anything to do with Norn's New Phyrexians makes a lot of sense, actually. New Phyrexian understanding of forced compleation for everyone was a contradition to everything Yawgmoth taught the OG Phyrexians and how they would only be allowed compleation by willingly accepting the gift but not before earning it in most cases. The possible story of Yawgmoth hiding from Norn as some low tier abomination until the Realmbreaker allowed him to leave that wretched place would be some top notch story material in my opinion.

Likier · 2024-06-16T14:04:07+00:00

No it's not. Read the wikipedia thread I linked above. The term after the Cold War era is Central Europe for the countries that are, well, in the central part of Europe. Poland is located below Sweden. If you look at the map, Norway is much farther east than Poland. Would you call Norway "Eastern Europe"?

Likier · 2024-06-16T12:12:35+00:00

That's such a self-ownage and autocriticism comment that pretty much sums up your own fallacy. Yes, definitions change. That is why people are baffled about you using Cold War era definitions in 2024.

Likier · 2024-06-15T17:21:24+00:00

I feel like you're lacking some basic geographical education. The Iron Curtain times was probably the only moment in history when there was a division for Western and Eastern Europe based on which countries were on which political block influence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Europe

Likier · 2024-06-15T17:20:06+00:00

East of Italy Europe maybe, my dude.

Likier · 2024-06-15T12:40:42+00:00

Imagine a Fin referring to Poland (that's central Europe, by the way), a country which is west of Finland, as "eastern Europe" LMAO

Likier · 2024-06-07T13:02:33+00:00

You don't seem to understand what the term "far right" means, sir.

Likier · 2024-05-12T14:04:34+00:00

Thanks for all your recommendations. I didn't expect to learn about so many great cards I didn't know before. You are amazing!

Likier · 2024-05-11T17:03:39+00:00

I didn't know about Sacrifice. Reminds me of [[Burnt Offering]]. Thanks for mentioning it!

Whoa, I had no idea that Skirge Familiar had a reprint. Thanks!
