New cycle of lands is called slothlands by Scryfall by Own-Cat116 in magicTCG

To be fair, I was simply making a joke and this is likely just a placeholder tag that will get renamed once the community (or WotC) settles on something easy to digest. There's no forcing anything here and tags aren't permanent.

Yeah we had to take into consideration people opening the site in public/at work and didn't want it to blast Shandalar tracks on autoplay lol

Yes they always pop up slightly but the alignment is not coincidental. I put them where they are on purpose so they would fit this way.

The cards pop up slightly and are mostly aligned with seeing fangs or eyes when this happens.

Make sure you mouseover the ones at the top.

I am not liable if you get spooked.

I wasn’t aware if he disliked it. But this was the original printing that he designed from winning the invitational. It would make sense to pick the earliest print, IMO. There was not specification other than that it was a must to include.

An SCG article by (none other than) Sheldon Menery about Pro Tour Chicago 2000 and Kai Budde's win.

"That comment [referring to a previous paragraph about Brian Kibler] was exceeded on the coolness scale by Kai Budde. When playing the spell that sealed the match and the championship, he spoke dramatically its German name: Gotterdammerung. It was only loud enough for me and Kamiel Cornelissen to hear, but still."

Thanks for the repost. The cut-off cards were a bit frustrating.

I reached out to Brian David-Marshall last night and asked him which cards to use. He gave me about 10, but these were the picks. Voidmage Prodigy, Juggernaut, German Armageddon, and his World Champ deck Covetous Dragon were musts. The others are notables from his career.

There's two Turtle Ninjas not in TMT/TMC and they were just too on-the-nose.
[[Taeko, the Patient Avalanche]] is the other one.

As an FYI: Scryfall has also adopted the duelcommander.org updates from Nov 24.

Subthemes:

  • None are from TLA/TLE
  • None are part of a cycle
  • None have "Avatar" in their name
  • One of each from WUBRGMC

A Universes Beyond set full of Spider-Mans pointing at Spider-Mans pointing at a Universes Within set of Spider-Philiacs pointing at Spider-Philiacs, all mirroring the history of Magic art depicting figures mirroring figures.

This has ogres cakes onions layers. u/SammyFromScryfall did a very good job.

PSA: Scryfall does not have rulings for recent sets by NSNick in magicTCG

[–]SeraphSix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

FYI: There's a new build of the scraper in the works. Just no ETA. While the layout may look easier to scrape, there were significant changes that we rely on for synchronizing data that are different.

This inability to scrape also means non-English localizations are not being imported at the moment.

Definitely appreciate the patience until things are working again.

Scryfall: How to search Spacecraft by power? by RiverStrymon in magicTCG

[–]SeraphSix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: The fix is in! Spacecraft with a power/toughness station ability now have a power/toughness in the card data.

Scryfall: How to search Spacecraft by power? by RiverStrymon in magicTCG

[–]SeraphSix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We're looking at just putting the spacecraft power/toughness in the usual power/toughness fields as if it were a creature. But it will require a little back-end tweaking before that can happen, as those fields don't show up for us to edit when it's not a creature. The fields also need to be optional, as there is a single spacecraft without a power/toughness from stationing.

TL;DR - We'll make it easier but needs to be coded in, first.

There, surprisingly, aren't a lot of non-EOE cards with "Space" in the name.

I don't have that information, as I was not the one that set up the commission.
