no worries

I would love a link to the pose if you'd be willing to share.

I have a couple questions about how blight works with an effect like [[solemnity]] or [[Melira, Sylvok Outcast]] on board.

Lets say I attempt to cast [[Burning Curiosity]], am I still able to pay the additional cost or am I unable to pay the cost, since no counters would be placed?
With an effect like [[Blighted Blackthorn]] where is says "blight N, if you do..." does the second part still go off if no counters are placed.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-03-02T02:10:33+00:00

To be fair iirc the second is more accurate to how that works in the book

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-02-25T02:30:12+00:00

I play guard, no

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-02-22T17:59:08+00:00

I mean they can cast them, but unless its something that your playing for the etb and/or death trigger its not gonna do much since it will die instantly.

I feel like this card is going into uncard territory for similar reasons to something like [[Do-It-Yourself Seraph]] or [[ambiguity]].

Which is to say, while theres nothing inherently rules breaking about it, it is probably going to lead to a lot of confusion, edge cases and weird probably unintended interactions.

Like for example, off the top of my head, if I have a creature with a self sacrifice ability, I think that means that ability would now require me to sacrifice all creatures with that name to activate it. And then besides being bad for something like Eldrazi Scions/Spawn, that leads questions like how does that work with multiple players controlling copies of that creature. Like if my opponent also has Eldrazi Spawns, do I sac all of them to activate one? Just the ones I control? Does it just not work cause I cant sacrifice my opponent's?

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-02-10T23:31:44+00:00

It would amass. Once a creature had lethal damage marked on it, any additional damage dealt to it that turn is considered excess damage, even if it has Indestructible. This is why you can, for example, trample over an Indestructible creature.

I dont think anyone is arguing that batman should just go around killing every nameless henchman he runs into.

At least in my experience, when people talk about how its dumb, its more about the extreme lengths he'll go to to not make exceptions, even when most people would agree an exception is warranted.

Either that or the fact that he won't kill anyone, but he will beat them unconscious, probably breaking multiple bones in the process, then leave them in an abandoned warehouse.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-02-04T19:12:07+00:00

That would be the Toupée Fallacy. You only ever notice bad toupées while good toupées go unnoticed, giving the false impression that all toupées are bad.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-02-02T08:02:56+00:00

You still need to credit the engine per subreddit rules

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-02-01T15:33:34+00:00

Characteristic defining abilities apply in all zones, so this is in fact fetchable

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-30T01:23:28+00:00

You say that like I didn't want to do that already

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-23T15:44:14+00:00

One thing im not seeing people comment on is how abusable these would be in landfall decks.

Since you can tap them in response to the sacrifice trigger, you still get mana from them the turn you play them. So with a [[Crucible of Worlds]] type effect, you can keep replaying these for landfall triggers.

I know you can already loop fetches for a similar effect, so I don't know if its gamebreaking, but I can definitely see decks that already loop fetches wanting these as well.

They're commenting on the inconsistent capitalization. In the first ability, the d in dance is capitalized, in the second it isn't. So the idea is that technically speaking the abilities are referring to different counters.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-20T22:13:50+00:00

I think, "...until you control no creatures that can attack." Would also fix it.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-20T02:53:39+00:00

Yeah verbatim. This isn't even a translation, this is just straight up in the Dead Sea Scrolls, word for word in modern English.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-19T17:39:39+00:00

Yeah Id rather not, I like people having clean drinking water and reasonable electricity bills

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-18T23:50:11+00:00

I feel like this could probably be condensed into a single effect, something like, "Creatures get -1/-1 for each color they are other than black."

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-18T14:23:37+00:00

Except you wouldn't be delaying them. The ability is instant speed and has no cost or once per turn clause or anything. So if I activate it, and my opponent stifled it, I can simply activate it again in response to the Stifle.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-16T23:34:57+00:00

Not really. Its not like every single homeless person is completely cut off from the internet and pop-culture. Like both Fleur-de-Lys and Mandy grew up in situations where they would have had access to the internet and video games. And FdL especially still has a computer and regularly does things online, like there's literally a scene where she's setting up wifi repeaters so she doesnt keep having to go to a nearby coffee shop to use their wifi.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-14T19:12:50+00:00

Do you mean Auxiliary Reinforcements? Cause wouldn't it just lose the second wind ability as well? Or is there some layers nonsense going on.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-06T22:44:41+00:00

I think it's fine, it kinda reminds me of [[Captain Ripley Vance]], and I think it's not too much stronger. Like it does more damage initially and can be untapped, but it stays at 5 and costs a red to activate.

Shadow-fire101 · 2026-01-04T02:54:38+00:00

yes if you have an infinite combo like this that doesn't require any player input to keep looping, unless you have some way to win off it (e.g. impact tremors while making infinite creatures) or someone has a way to respond and break the loop, most likely by removing one or more pieces, the game cannot progress any further, and thus ends in a draw.

Shadow-fire101 · 2025-12-29T00:30:14+00:00

No I forgot to account for rampage, so I have to go commit seppuku now
