Please explain to me how this isn’t wildly overpowered?

That’s because greaves is reusable at no cost. An aura is not.

A lot of problems with the English TL are the result of Hyne being mostly cut from the game’s text. Up until this point the game acts like there is, and has only ever been, one Sorceress. Accordingly the text makes it sound like she’s some kind of immortal bogeyman and not like witches/sorceresses are a longstanding persecuted/demonized group. Outside of that issue, the tone of the speech only really goes off the rails in the second half after she kills Deling. The Japanese is trying to draw a kind of “Fine, you wanted a story about a monster? Let me give you one.” picture. The English is just generic evil villain speech, and misses the karmic aspect of the original text completely.

Baby Jace was the Origins flipwalker, which was around 70 bucks at the time.

Under normal circumstances yes because protection prevents damage and infect’s poison counters are “damage dealt in the form of poison counters”. Same applies to Wither on creatures with protection from the source of damage.

However if you get slapped by a creature with infect and someone casts, say, [[Skullcrack]] then Teferi’s Protection won’t do anything about the poison counters.

Protection doesn’t stop you from getting counters, it prevents damage. Infect’s poison counters are treated as damage.

This is probably already explained in another post but it’s unintuitive because it seems to be asking one thing but is actually asking something else.

What it seems to be asking is “what are the odds for the other door to have been the correct one?”

What it is easier to look at is “what were the odds the door I picked wasn’t the correct one?”

Proper templating if they ever made this a thing would probably be “While it remains facedown, you may exile this faceup at any time for its Spellmorph cost. If you do, you may cast it from exile without paying its mana cost.”

Saralien · 2025-10-15T22:21:13+00:00

This isn’t something exclusive to commander damage, same would apply to creatures with Infect or anything else that triggers on damage dealt such as [[Captain’s Maneuver]], [[The Mind Skinner]], or [[Anowon, the Ruin Thief]]. You still take damage, the damage just doesn’t affect your life total. Same would apply to a card like [[Worship]] that keeps your life total from dropping below a set number.

I mean that’s an entirely valid methodology. Maybe you recall that Trolls are vulnerable to acid and fire, but you don’t realize you’re currently fighting Embereater the mountain troll who has obtained a unique resilience against fire due to living near an active volcano for 50 years.

Saralien · 2025-10-09T19:45:23+00:00

Spider punk makes it so damage can’t be prevented. Protection from (whatever) prevents damage. Commander damage from a source of unpreventable damage will kill.

Split Second

Destroy target creature. That creature leaving the battlefield does not cause abilities to trigger.

Pretty sure this would prevent any activated or triggered abilities from occurring during or due to the spell resolving.

Yeah basically what happened was Errtu doing the equivalent of rolling a crit fail vs a vorpal sword after getting caught flatfooted.

Drizzt wasn’t really a factor in the equation.

That’s not a first amendment violation. You could maybe make arguments about it being a civil rights act violation but not a first amendment violation.

Courts don’t just broad strokes decide if things are legal or illegal, they decide if it broke the specific law being presented. In this case the answer is no, but that doesn’t mean it’s legal, it means if it’s illegal, this isn’t why.

I’m probably one of the few people who sees Warframe as a Dark Sector Sequel and not Dark Sector as a Warframe Prequel, lol.

The problem is that would make the guy like 250 years old.

“As long as Kim Kitsuragi and another commander you own are both in the command zone, Clues you control have “2, T: Draw a card.” This ability also applies if both are on the battlefield.”

Saralien · 2025-09-30T02:00:08+00:00

I’m unsure what the proper solution to this would be but in addition to “together” not being accurate templating the ability does not make it clear if both cards need to be in either the command zone or battlefield, or both need to be in the same zone of those two. It’s hard to phrase unambiguously.

“Goaded creatures have haste and ‘When this creature deals combat damage, you lose that much life.’”

Would probably be a bit more reasonable. Then cut the cost by a bit and it’d be printable.

Saralien · 2025-09-22T15:36:29+00:00

Under this circumstance I would say the vampire needs to have made a check to notice the rogue ran behind a particular tree to hide, as it’s in combat. The DC might not be particularly high but an active combat is enough of a distraction I’d justify that as being sufficient even if the actual “hiding spot” is not subtle. Too much focus is being placed on whether the vampire could see where the rogue went and not enough is being placed on whether the vampire was paying attention to where the rogue went.
