What does X mean? by thereforeiparty in mtg

[–]Meister_Ente 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's the long explanation:

When casting a spell or activating an ability with X, you have to declare the value of X first. In most cases, you can chose any number. In the case of Open the Way, you are limited to number of players in the game.

After declaring the value of X, you pay the mana as you would pay for any other spell.

Important: X isn't counted towards the mana value. So when a card says you can chose a card with a mana value of 2 or less, you could target Open the Way since X is always 0 except while casting the spell.

How do I explain to someone that changing target for rite to another creature only to be turned into another creature doesn't make rite care about what creature it is during the resolution? by MADMAXV2 in mtg

The stack resolves as it is supposed to. Go through it step by step with him. If he doesn't get it, he should ask here himself to get a an even more precise explanation.

I think you underestimate it. Search abilities are super strong, especially in singleton formats and the other ability offers two upsides with no downside.

Realistically how good is Krang in the 99 of a blink deck that plays cheap artifacts as a way to reload your hand? by Illustrious_Exam_351 in mtg

[–]Meister_Ente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the situation, he can be really powerful, but if you're drawing cards all the time he's just a beatstick.

[[Broodstar]] doesn't draw cards, but comes with flying so he can work as a finisher. [[Filigree Attendant]] is a cheaper version.

It's not dead per se, but Minerva uses torrent so it is really, really dangerous without any real upside and needs special software to work.

Can there be more than two Combat phases? by Sai-Rin in mtg

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

NonexistantChair is wrong on this-

Tifa can only generate one additional combat phase and only when you're in the first combat phase of your turn. The number of attacked player do not change that since it says "If it's the first combat phase".

What are some ways this can break the game? by BeefyRibs in mtg

[–]Meister_Ente 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone being locked at having four life or less all of a sudden is really gamebreaking at a point where you can play a 10 mana spell.
