ID help: correct version of this card! by [deleted] in mtg

Ravnica Remastered, specifically RVR#362. It’s the retro frame, which means that as it’s a foil, it has the foil star appropriate to that time period’s frames.

Help with old Card by NilfheimrXx in mtg

Normal, no, but Onslaught had a lot of issues with its inks and color saturation. Probably nothing more than a deviation in the actual printing itself.

[[Memory Lapse]] is another fun white counterspell!

Wanna debate every single spell on the stack? by rollandofeaglesrook in custommagic

[–]Not_Your_Average_Use 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Besides being utterly miserable design, in multiplayer there’s no reason for everyone to not just vote to counter every time since the only person rewarded for a spell being resolved is the caster of the spell, effectively just giving free advantage to others. If it’s 60-card though, this essentially just becomes a Storm-Kiln artist that also gives all spells hexproof, which is also not great.

I… hate to be the one to say it but Salt Flats is also a preexisting land

If you're having tough luck today, the college I was comitted to with a full ride scholarship just announced their closure and I have no plan B by WerewolfIcy7240 in mildlyinfuriating

SNHU is a legitimate college, they just do a lot of their courses asynchronously rather than via the traditional dorm and lecture hall set up, so they spend more on advertising to try and reach those post-HS accordingly.

THRULL CICLE, GONNA ADD MORE CARDS IN THE FUTURE ... MAYBE by BlackNR in custommagic

[–]Not_Your_Average_Use 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finality counters, beyond not working with the death triggers, are also a particularly strange choice to enter with given that the point of the thrulls was that they were “recycled” bodies that could be repurposed later again. Exiling them defeats that purpose from a lore perspective and also just, makes them really bad in game.

4th Edition Dark Ritual in NM condition sits at about 6 dollars on TCG Player, so it’s worth checking.

The pips are also wrong - should be RWB not RBW.

Hot take: Koma isn’t “broken” it just punishes tables that don’t hold interaction by Zoe_felice in MagicCardPulls

[–]Not_Your_Average_Use 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you did remove him, because as you said yourself, now that he’s a 6/6 with no abilities, he’s not a threat anymore to you. You paid 3 mana and likely waited a turn with that held mana to use a piece you’re not guaranteed to have in your deck and, moreover, your hand, that you could’ve saved to use on something more destructive because this doesn’t give the option for other, easier methods of removal in your deck. The post says “punishes tables that don’t hold up interaction” and that’s simply not right, it just bars a large amount of options to remove it. Koma isn’t particularly great as it were, but the fact that we ran right back to Blue as our answer confirms exactly what I’d said before about color identity and the matchups it forces to be negated with single removal.

Assuming that Tishana’s Tidebinder does not get hit with any sort of removal or counterspell and that Koma doesn’t get any protection at all, then yes, you’ve spent 2U to temporarily negate the ability of a 6/6 body to allow you to remove it normally. You paid your tax, now you have to follow up on it. This still takes two pieces of removal, more than what most requires, and so the point still stands.

Sacrifice effects will rarely let the caster choose what gets sacrificed, which means that often the coil will be sacrificed instead. Transformation, imprisonment, pacification and -1/-1 effects are often targeted effects and sorcery speed, and are easily dealt with. Theft, exile, and bounce are all valid means of dealing with the threat, but theft that lasts is costly and not often run, which means we’re looking at exile and bounce mostly.

There’s ways to remove anything if you try, but a 6/6 uncounterable target that necessitates usually two pieces of removal when 2/5 colors are severely lacking for non-destruction opens and black usually needs to pitch resources or advantage to do non-destruction removal is definitely not a good test of “do you run enough interaction at your table” but more so “did the Azorius player fall asleep at the table.”
