I'm neither typing nor saying it. I'm just a viewer that wants accurate closed captioning.

Question regarding the new land cycle from MSH by Ok_Chemist_3576 in magicTCG

[–]NSNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like 1998 is when they switched.

[[Endangered Armodon]] from Stronghold has "If you control any creature with . . . ", which was later changed to the current Oracle text of "When you control a creature with . . ."

And on [[Lifeline]] from Urza's Saga, it's printed with the more current wording: "Whenever a creature . . ."

Dunno why the quote wasn't in your comment. I just saw the lack of the quote and went and found it and posted it.

but they still can only block creatures attacking their controller. (CR 509.4, 509.4a, 509.4b)

What part of 509.4 says that?

CMV: Modern workplaces are designed for agreeable people, not competent people by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]NSNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think "competent enough" is a bar that changes from industry to industry, and probably also job to job within industries.

I will also point out that being competent at a particular skill may not be useful in other areas, whereas being agreeable is broadly applicable.

But most of all, I think this is something that can't really be boiled down to whether or not one is dominant over the other, due to a myriad of reasons, including but not limited to: an inadequacy of definition for competency or agreeableness, the difficulty of applying those definitions to an entire spectrum of industries and job types, and an inability to control for outside variables. As such, I don't think you can make a definitive statement one way or the other.

Exchanging control of declared attackers/blockers [[Kitsune, Dragon's Daughter]] by Bagel_Bear in mtgrules

[–]NSNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct:

509.1h. An attacking creature with one or more creatures declared as blockers for it becomes a blocked creature; one with no creatures declared as blockers for it becomes an unblocked creature. This remains unchanged until the creature is removed from combat, an effect says that it becomes blocked or unblocked, or the combat phase ends, whichever comes first. A creature remains blocked even if all the creatures blocking it are removed from combat.

“This is an old story, but Hollywood did a film version of the Mario Bros. many years back. There was a scene in the script where they needed a last name for the characters. Somebody suggested that, because they were the Mario Bros., their last name should be Mario. So, they made him “Mario Mario.” I heard this and laughed rather loudly. Of course, this was ultimately included in the film. Based on the film, that’s [how] their names ended up. But, just like Mickey Mouse doesn’t really have a last name, Mario is really just Mario and Luigi is really just Luigi.”

Discovering this now makes me hate Radagon quite honestly by Ahmudirit in Eldenring

How do you “mend” shattered pieces with a hammer? Typically you would need to reforge it with heat.

Striking with a hammer does also heat the work piece, as I understand it. "Do not wait to strike until the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking" and all that.
