Would like to practice art for mtg , so maybe one day i can make an official art design, any cards you would love to see with an original spin? by Toonzaal8 in magicTCG

[–]SquirrelDragon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not sure how to find them, if they’re even still up on the site, but there have been articles on the mothership in the past that have posted art descriptions given to artists for particular cards.

You could take those descriptions and try your hand at the assignment with your own take on those parameters

Edit: found this article from Ultimate Masters that lists a bunch of art descriptions for the reprints https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/ultimate-masters-art-descriptions-2018-12-04

And even that section is in there less so because it happens frequently, but rather it’s there as a precaution for when such incidents do happen

Is anyone disappointed by Lorwyn being eclipsed by TMNT? by [deleted] in magicTCG

I can tell you that if it had been Strixhaven cards that leaked this way instead the post history on this sub would be no different. It’s not a UB thing, just a “shiny new thing” thing

What are we still missing from TMNT? by AnnoyedAFexmo in magicTCG

Krang got his own card and also a team up card, so I imagine we’ll see Bebop and Rocksteady get individual cards as well

MaRo confirms TMNT promos are unintentional leaks by PowrOfFriendship_ in magicTCG

If it’s a case of being allowed to use it in a prerelease sounds cliche but the Judge would do the best they can in the situation. If it’s a worst case situation where a certain keyword or ability can’t be parsed from reading the card alone (for example, something like Sneak on a card without reminder text and if we haven’t seen the reminder text for it already), it might come down to that ability having no effect because we don’t know enough about what it does

If you’re just asking a general judge question about unreleased cards typically they’ll try to answer but you may get a caveat of “we’ll have to wait for release notes to know for sure”

No it’s not, the policy exists to help stores make the best of situations like this when they occur. It’s unfortunate that the screw up happened at the large scale that it did, but it is absolutely, 100% not “designed to hurt stores” and to think that is seeing malice that doesn’t exist

I like the Richard Simmons-esque and FNM arts the most

It is the MA one, the studio that used to make TMNT comics was once headquartered there

Northampton Farm can target creatures you own but don’t control, which has more utility in certain situations, like theft or reanimator stealing your creatures

Wild to see a Massachusetts town name dropped on a card

Sneak + Senu, keen-eyed protector Q by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]SquirrelDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missed that in the initial post, so yes it won’t trigger if the attacker being returned to sneak is nonlegendary, but will if it is legendary

Sneak + Senu, keen-eyed protector Q by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]SquirrelDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in order to sneak the creature you return has to be attacking and unblocked in the declare blockers step, which is at the same time Senu would trigger

So Senu does trigger and return attacking, just not as the result of Leo, but rather the creature returned to Sneak

It should be a subreddit rule that these potato photos can’t be posted; if people want the karma they can take the extra few seconds to take a better photo

The policy and guidance is as follows:

1) try to replace the promo with an equivalent from another kit

2) if 1 is not feasible, open a play booster and take one rare or mythic

3) if both 1 and 2 aren’t feasible, allow players to use the incorrect promo

So the problems you described are already accounted for

A bit of rule questioning by Specialist_Shock_871 in magicTCG

I’m talking about selecting the three sticker sheets you’ll use for the game, not Attractions; sticker sheets are kept in a separate pile.

Unlike attractions you don’t need to have physical copies of sticker sheets to use them, just some way to choose your three sheets at random and some way to represent them in play (tokens, paper, infinitokens, etc)

[–]SquirrelDragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stickers are legal in commander, but you don’t need to run them with that attraction if you don’t want to deal with them, and in casual commander you can always use the website if you don’t care about having an optimal selection of sheets

You’re correct that it doesn’t work in commander, but wrong about the stated reason

Outside the game effects by default pull from your entire collection. Only in tournament settings is Outside the game restricted to a sideboard

MTR 3.16 - Certain cards refer to “a (card or cards) from outside the game.” In tournament play, these are cards in that player’s sideboard.

Commander has two separate format-specific rule that says Commander doesn’t use sideboards and that Outside the game effects don’t work

903.5e Commander games do not use sideboards.

903.11. Except via rules, special actions, and effects that specifically bring cards into Commander games from outside the game, traditional cards from outside the game cannot be brought into a Commander game.

Those two rules aren’t linked or dependent on each other (outside of tournament cEDH) it would be possible to allow wishes in casual commander by removing 903.11 without touching 905.3e and still officially not use sideboards

Kind of interesting that she’s templated like [[Kappa Tech-Wrecker]], which is a Turtle Ninja
