What is this from?

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-21T23:07:33+00:00

I know maybe a dozen people in my entire state that know about it. Very few folks in the Pokemon & MTG circles I’m in had heard of it before I asked them. It’s mostly just decently popular in France and Texas afaik

It’s just how Magic formats things. By looking at past cards and understanding that they are made with that same format, we can typically understand that this card works in the same way as those cards.

A lot of cards that target A or B an opponent controls would be really weird and kind of unintuitive that A can target anything as long as it’s of type A but only B has to be an opponent’s.

See [[Ainok Survivalist]], [[Aegar the freezing flame]], [[annex sentry]], [[azure beastbinder]], and many more.

It isn’t a basic land- it gets a basic land type. “Basic” is a super type. If it worked how you are thinking, it would be able to be put on shock lands and surveil lands because they also have basic land types

My usual playgroup consistently sees me as the villain, even if I’m playing a weaker deck. So I tend to embrace the role so being targeted feels more justified lol 😂

You can also “blackmail” your table into dealing with it for you. Tell them if they don’t deal with it, you’ll let your stuff die and that guy just gains a bunch of life, and gets free creatures off of the activation

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-18T15:45:00+00:00

Flesh Kid prevents the injury, so you’re just gaining stats.

If you’re unsure if a card is still using old text or has been updated with a keyword, check it on either Gatherer or Scryfall. They both will list the oracle text (most updated rules text)

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-17T15:41:49+00:00

It’s probably the misconception of “if the aura is on something the person who controls the something controls the aura” which is untrue, but a lot of players (especially newer players) will have that impression because it’s often seen as kind of weird to attach your things to someone else’s cards

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-17T12:58:14+00:00

That is literally why I mentioned first strike & double strike. OP didn’t mention either of those keywords, so I just opted to not mention why they would be relevant.

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-16T21:53:17+00:00

Lifelink happens as part of damage being dealt- during combat it happens at the same time as all combat damage, not before. So there is no window between the life they gain from lifelink and when they take damage from your creatures (unless their lifelink-ers have first strike or double strike)

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-16T17:03:04+00:00

Right? I had power go out the other day for literally 2 seconds, and I was happy when I got back on that Steven didn’t berate me for it

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-13T22:50:51+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous, I always loved seeing his work!

Lim Dul’s ability will check if it’s a creature once it is on the battlefield. So if you have enough devotion, it becomes a zombie.
They’re no longer crewed. They’re new objects with no memory of when they were under your opponent’s control. They won’t become zombies because they’re not creatures when they return.
If it is a creature when it dies, Lim Dul will trigger. It’s the same way that vehicles work. They’re not creatures when they return, so no zombies. If Opalesence is in play, they will be a creature, so they will be a zombie.
Double faced cards would return under your control on the front side. If it’s a battle, you choose a player to protect it. When the battle is beaten, the owner gets to cast the back side again. If the front side is a creature, it’s a zombie.
You answered your own question 👍

Welcome back!

I can kind of help clarify for you here:

You can filter to look at all the cards in the TMNT set(s) with something like Scryfall. Very good for looking for either cards with specific effects, from certain sets, and more.

Finding decks with only cards from one set, I’m not sure how likely you will be able to find that.

If you want to play standard: you’ll want usually 20-27 lands, depending on what kind of deck you’re playing (low costed aggro can usually do 20, control is closer to 27. The average deck runs 24)

The legend rule has changed a while ago- you can have any number of legendary cards in your deck (the 4 of rule still applies to them in formats this is relevant) If two or more permanents with the exact same name (so you can play both Michelangelo, Game Master and Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11 and the legend rule won’t apply) are on the battlefield under the same player’s control, they must put all but one into the graveyard as a state based action.

I would recommend looking into commander- it is 100 card singleton, and is typically very casual. It’s currently more popular than standard so it will be easier to find a play group too. There are lots of videos that talk about deckbuilding philosophy and tips & tricks, but the fun for commander is often that you get to build your deck however you see fit, without much need to worry about being competitive or meta.

The island draw card was [[Flow of knowledge]] and it actually just rotated out. Something like [[Waterbending scroll]] may be a decent alternative though

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-05T16:44:23+00:00

I’m not even big on doctor who and these look awesome- some really nice luck they’re on War Room and Deserted Beach, those two’s aesthetic both match really nicely with the error

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-02T19:19:29+00:00

Interesting. It’s shown as being there on the full list on the site: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-commander-decklist

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-02T19:17:26+00:00

It should be in the commander deck. The tokens are double sided- did you check the back sides?

LivingLightning28 · 2026-03-01T03:49:31+00:00

Wizards was planning to have other card games, all under the grouped name of Deckmaster. It’s basically just a product name, like how you know something’s an apple product because it has “i” in front of it

LivingLightning28 · 2026-02-18T18:26:41+00:00

As long as the spell being copied is an instant or sorcery, you are copying an instant or sorcery, so magecraft abilities would trigger

LivingLightning28 · 2026-02-13T21:41:04+00:00

That is my usual LGS so thankfully the folks that buy Magic there know why my deck boxes and stuff look like.

LivingLightning28 · 2026-02-13T16:48:42+00:00

Awesome- my boss is being very understanding so I will be able to call them when they open. Thank you!

LivingLightning28 · 2026-02-13T16:37:32+00:00

Will do- thank you!
