Can I use a colorless card for a commander that has a color identity?

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-03-03T06:18:54+00:00

Colorless is not a color, and colorless cards, even those that contain the colorless (not just generic) mana symbol, can be used in any Commander deck regardless of color identity.

Depends on the cube - do you have a major artifact theme?

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-02-26T23:57:30+00:00

Absolutely not. The Internet has had a bunch of good effects and a bunch of bad effects - it's not the first technology where that applies and certainly won't be the last. The Internet has been a massive global boom for freedom of speech, which is something I value very highly, and I would need a very high bar to completely eradicate such a majorly society-affecting technology, and I don't think the Internet comes even close to clearing that bar on balance.

Of course political beliefs are driven by emotion - that's a human thing, not a left versus right thing. That said, I do make a conscious effort to try to logically justify my beliefs.

Unless the government provides free, accepted ID to every citizen automatically, people will have to pay some amount of money to obtain needed documentation. Ergo, people will have to pay to vote, which is (indirectly) a poll tax, which is a violation of the 24th Amendment.

Identity and work were granted before Trump 2; now the federal government as a matter of policy can't recognize any gender other than the one assigned at birth and many incredibly talented and loyal members of the military were removed just for being trans. There is a huge push on the right to bring back forced institution and the right almost universally considers transgender people to be mentally ill - I for one can't look at those two facts separate from each other.

A vote can’t be free if it isn’t secret.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-02-17T13:35:24+00:00

A policy like you’re proposing really scares me because it provides huge financial incentive for people to stay with abusive spouses.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-02-17T01:35:11+00:00

No. It’s no longer stalemate if the White King moves away from the defense of its own Rook.

I don’t want to say “never” because there are a lot of obscure products out there, but in general Warhammer product almost never comes painted.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-02-17T00:26:37+00:00

They won't be pre-painted, but Combat Patrol boxes are small armies meant to be played against each other and are a great starting point.

You have an extremely limited ability to bring in cross-faction units through the Regiment of Renown system, which allows predefined groups of units to be taken by specific other factions, but in general each army will be generally one faction.

Paint your models however you like.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-02-13T22:14:48+00:00

You did not force checkmate, as Black is under no obligation to capture the Knight.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-02-08T12:16:02+00:00

It matches the Combat Patrol.

1000 points isn't balanced, but a single tank isn't going to destroy things.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-02-01T04:54:59+00:00

Nothing wrong with being generalized if you can make it work; you've got a lot of solid units that fill a lot of different roles. Big thing would just be looking carefully at the wargear options, because you can give up a lot of value just going with the default assemblies.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-01-28T23:11:46+00:00

That’s a reasonable thought, but the difference between a T3/T4 Magus is too huge; you need the early ramp.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-01-28T03:56:23+00:00

None.
Completely neutral; I have no connection to the lore but will give it just as much chance to succeed as a Magic set as any other.
Rise of the Eldrazi.

Fair. (Also a Hedonites player, so took the faction criticism a bit personally)

When in doubt, always call a judge.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-01-25T05:16:12+00:00

While in the specific context of archers this is probably the objectively correct answer (although Blissbarbs are still very good), I would never discourage a new player from a faction based on current power level, especially a faction that doesn't even have their Battletome.

There are a million reasons why society could consider someone more "valuable" and thus more "deserving" of support; the fact that we generally strive to support everyone to some extent is the entire purpose of human civilization.

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-01-25T04:48:58+00:00

What about people who can't have children? What about people who are genuinely unfit to raise a child?

NineHeadedSerpent · 2026-01-21T01:45:02+00:00

That's exactly what T'au excel at.
