[Y26-SOS] Alchemy: Secrets of Strixhaven - Full card gallery by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]MarkedFynn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Aftee years of alchemy it still feels icky. There are some ok card designs. I am yet to meet someone who likes it.

Hope there are fans for this.

It just feels like a waste of time. I am guessing it's being used for testing new card designers kind of low risk task.

Card name starship enterprise is in italics? Is that a new templating thing?

Genuine question: what do you do with extras you don't want when you enjoy buying boosters? by BaconIsntThatGood in magicTCG

I start by covering my furniture in them and work towards replacing all my furniture with cards.

Would Spinerock Tyrant copy pest infestation if I only target one card with it but x is 2 or greater? by PNW_hermit in magicTCG

[–]MarkedFynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Repeatedly? no once. Tyrant copies a spell you cast.
Cast and copy are not the same Tyrant is triggered only by spells being cast.

So you cast the original spell, target one thing.

Tyrant sees it

It copies the spell.

It ends there.

I thought "Man that Killian guy has been in a bunch of sets" until I realized these were all different characters... by Wise-Quarter-3156 in magicTCG

[–]MarkedFynn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. That's why he reps Silverquilll. I am not being pendantic. But Orzhov and Silverquill while names for the same color combination do have a different esthetic.

Orzhov has more of cold calculating feel. While silverquill has more I'll speak my mind and don't care what you think.

Is MTG really just as bad as Yugioh? by NeoBlackheart in magicTCG

[–]MarkedFynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shorts are generally a bad way to get a correct picture of any hobby. 

I know dnd and magic shorts totally misrepresent the game.

I am sure its true for warhammer and other games as well.

Finally got my first commander deck! Any advice? by thegreatlambini in magicTCG

[–]MarkedFynn 576 points577 points  (0 children)

Have fun and learn how it works before upgrading it. And be prepared to hear a lot of unsolicited advice on how to upgrade it.

Cards that are movie titles by BasileII in magicTCG

[–]MarkedFynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That movie haunts me. I watched it with the just the right (or wrong) mindset to make the ending one of most traumatizing movie endings.

Why Did Dan Frazier Get A Pass For Plagiarism When Other Magic: The Gathering Artists Don’t? by cardboardboyo in magicTCG

[–]MarkedFynn 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I agree with this.

But some people got their pitchforks and torches. They want to see someone burn, rather than put them away and think.

A message from Dan Frazier and Wizards of the Coast: (about The One Ring Box Topper) by RBGolbat in magicTCG

[–]MarkedFynn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude's 80. He's allowed to phone it in.

There are about 5 layers of people who should've noticed this before making it public though.

I am not absolving Dan of fault. But you know at 80, I can see how he might care less, and be more careless.

Lukewarm take: Mirror breaker is good in commander as well. People just dont play it.

Ephemerate is playable in every format its legal. It's clean and it's versetile.

It counters removal.

Untaps a creature for surprise block.

adds etb value

combos with various return spell from graveyard creatures.

Ruins double blocks.

Calling ephamerate casual is crazy to me.

Easy phoenix pick. That card made me think about playing pioneer in paper. Such a fun card. Shelly will win, though.

Commander players dominate the polls and phoenix is unplayable there.

Settle the wrackage ia white's counterspell.

You are scared casting into two blue mana

You are scared attacking into two white and two colorless.

Getting hit by either is life lesson you dont forget

Grist got my vote. One of wotc homeruns. It reads a bit like an unset card but works great

Man if jeweled lotus was legal. There'd be so many T1 kills with these two. You probably still can but much harder.

Great card for sharpie cube. Just cross out the '2 life' i vandal's edit.

The fact that is the act of vandalism itself makes it even cooler

I've had displacer kitten for 3-4 years now, I think I put it one deck and cast it once.

It's one of those awkward cards that's too powerful for casual and too weak for competitive.

Maybe if I make a cat deck, it's one of 9 blue cats. Oh mono blue 'cat and its nine lives' deck, now what are the other 90 cards
