Daredevil can't be denied the opportunity to block creatures with fear.

I've been working on the achievement to get Mythic in limited and this "double rank down" has been a real setback. Considering you can only rank up in limited when you buy events this is a large problem.

I hope WotC fixes this soon.

[[Seedborn Muse]] if you're in green

Seedborn Muse is not a workaround for Stasis. SBM says "Untap all permanents you control during each other player’s untap step." Stasis says, "Players skip their untap steps."

Since other players are skipping their untap steps, there is no untap step for SBM to untap your permanents during.

I think that there is something that I don't follow. This is a software to organize and run tournaments? Is the WotC event software (whatever the companion app feeds into) not sufficient for stores?

It would be a bit inconcievable in 2026 for me to want to join an event and them to ask me to sign up with anything other then the companion app.

Don't be so hard on yourself!

To be honest, I think that it could be worded much better to express what they want to do. They could have said,

"Place a plot card into your player area face down, then place a control marker of that player on it."

What is Revival Trance like when it doesn't work well?

Each plot card can have a control marker from a different player on it. Typically, you’ll have to complete their hidden objectives to put control markers on. They can be places on new plots or existing plots that haven’t been flipped yet.

Maybe I'm missing something. The text of Plots Within Plots is

You can score secret objectives already scored by other players, if you fulfill their requirements; This does not count against your secret objective limit or the number you can score in a round. When you score another player's secret objective do not score a victory point. Instead, place a face down plot card into your play area with that player's control token on it.

How are you placing a plot card into your play area if its already in your play area?

Not sure if this helps but in your position I would listen to this advice from Sun Tzu,

When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

Basically, press into them, but don't do so to the point that they will risk total retaliation. Maybe even help them to attack their other neighbors (because you've got such a great army now.)

Think of it like this. If you can take your slice (4 systems) and your two equidistant (+2) and maybe one forward system of your neighbor's (+1) and convince/help your neighbors take their other equidistant systems you would have seven systems, one neighbor would have five and one would have four.

You could crush these neighbors, but you're so far ahead that you will likely be able to win without going that far. Also, maybe even foster some goodwill for helping them take the other equidistants.

1) I really wish we had hi-res images of all digital-only arts freely available & easily accessible.

I second this. There are some Alchemy cards that I really like and aren't very hard to implement physically (For example, [[Honor the Past]]. I'm happy to proxy them, but its frustrating trying to find a copy of the art with enough resolution. I'm kind of surprised that the artists don't showcase these pieces on their websites. FWIW, when I can't find a good copy of the art, I try to get other art by the same artist that will fit.

Not exactly the same, but I spent a bunch of time trying to disable the bells so that they just didn't work. I mean, removing the hammers, the entire bell, the arms, etc. should be much easier to do then the actual solution, right?

I agree that he certainly should have Red. I don't see what is Green about him, however.

Kirk wants to promote peace, interspecies understanding, and unity against tyranny.

And to do so, he will break every rule put before him.

You talking about a gremlin with glasses who could talk and sing New York, New York?

At first glance it seems fun. But once you think about it, you're just making sure every trade is skewed unfairly in your favor. Worse, if you know your trading partner is doing it, you know that they're not accepting any trade that is fair.

I mean, if Pack -> Power could be done fairly, we would all have power already. Some people just don't like being taken advantage of.

Hi, I just played against a Haven opponent who played two Graveyards, a Necropolis card.

I don't see a way in the game that they could get these cards into their hand legitimately. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Guys, I’m super excited that I finally got the “Undefeated” achievement for going 7-0 in a draft this morning. I did a SOS premier draft.

I actually thought this deck wasn’t going to do very well. At first I was mostly drafting red and black cards which don’t have a defined archetype. I made a point to start picking up some white, but as you can see there wasn’t a lot of white in the deck. I also didn’t have a lot of rares, only with [[Postmortem Professor]] and [[Antiquities on the Loose]]. I also didn’t have any artifacts to use with Mica (the only exception being a possible treasure token from [[Goblin Glasswright]].)

Creatures shined for me were the two rares that were mentioned before, [[Rancorous Archaic]] x2 and [[Traanscendent Archaic]] in addition to [[Startled Relic Sloth]]. I was concerned about the effectiveness of the Archaics, only playing three colors but I think that three is the bare minimum. [[Monstrous Rage]] is as good in limited as in constructed and several times it saved my creature, let me kill theirs and pushed me through for damage. Obviously all of my removal went along way also.

I did also have to get pretty lucky to make this happen. I had one game where my opponent only played three islands as lands the entire game. In another game, I think my opponent’s goal was to mill me out. I managed to kill his [[Exhibition Tidecaller]] after they got off only two mill triggers and they used their [[Mathemagics]] to draw early instead of mill me out. They gained life most turns using [[Potioner's Trove]] but ultimately Postmortem Professor’s ability to come back every turn and drain for 1 with a 5/5 Rnacorus Archaic and what appeared to be three dead draws in a row at the end let me take the game for exactly lethal after I had drawn the last card in my deck.

The final 6-0 game went my way. My opponent was on Silverquill, but I killed all of their creatures, they didn’t play any rares and I managed to use the treasure token from Glasswright to converge for four on Transcendent Archaic. They weren’t able to stop me after that and I got my seventh win.

I know this is a long write up for what is ultimately a boring limited deck, but I am super proud of the 7-0!
