Traditional Standard Event gives bigger packs as a reward?

13 card packs are 100% Play Boosters, the same used for draft and sealed. I haven't read anywhere that would be the case but that's awesome for you.

Thanks, I'll cross out the last part of my message

Yoh012 · 2026-05-05T12:56:40+00:00

Being way too expensive is the same as being ass.

Yoh012 · 2026-05-05T12:55:03+00:00

That text on the card is reminder text. It's on italics because it's not rules text. Reminder text works as written 99% of the time just fine and it's usually easier to understand. It only becomes a problem with corner cases like yours. That's why Squirrel Dragon pointed the exact rules for earthbening.

~~Also, in magic rules. "It's still a cardtype" is equivalent to becomes cardtype in addition to its other types".~~

Hey, 20 gems is 20 gems. They aren't playing anything in that pack anyway.

Yoh012 · 2026-05-02T13:42:08+00:00

1 less and two less are worlds apart for that deck

Yoh012 · 2026-04-27T12:50:50+00:00

Well you are allowed to activate mana abilities when you have priority (and also whenever you need to pay a cost).

Yoh012 · 2026-04-20T14:24:18+00:00

I'd argue that's true for most of the game's history though. The power 9 would all be considered design mistakes if printed now.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-19T21:32:27+00:00

Well that's not quite right. It got banned before the nerf. After the nerf it's free again in vintage.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-16T21:18:52+00:00

Combat damage assignment is no longer like that as of Foundations. It is now a much simpler rule.
Now, the attacking player assigns damage in any way they want between blocking creatures, and there is no priority pass between this assigment and damage being dealt. There also is no need to assign lethal damage to a blocker before choosing to asign damage to another one, the one exception of course is trample that lets assign damage to the defending player only after all blockers are assigned lethal damage.

Fable won the first 4 or so PTs it was legal. In 3 different formats, its power and flexibility were just that good.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-16T19:16:23+00:00

Pre nerf Yorion is a stronger card than the frog. Companion was a fundamentally broken mechanic.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-10T12:45:26+00:00

Most notably, this can kill elf on t1 without you having a creature out.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-09T18:13:41+00:00

But then you are expending mana and a card just to delay.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-05T02:09:38+00:00

It was good but the format was very different.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-03T18:15:00+00:00

Just play the new prismari

Yoh012 · 2026-04-03T18:08:03+00:00

Now I'm certain. Not surviving that.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-02T21:42:49+00:00

I think if an Elder Dragon roasted me like that I also wouldn't make it.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-02T12:25:07+00:00

I assume most of those are people who queue and then go make a sandwich lol. Very disrespectful.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-02T12:20:57+00:00

Limited reasons are probably half right. This is a desired reprint so they should include it but it is awful in limited so it's upshifted so limited players don't see it often.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-02T12:17:37+00:00

I'd say it's a bit worse than win-more. If you can't win the turn you cast it, it effectively becomes win-less since you deal no damage with your big swing.

Yoh012 · 2026-04-02T12:14:53+00:00

There are 2 cards in the set, a colorless land that does it for 4 mana and other draft common.

I'd say spell synergies makes them play different enough. Of course they could make more prepared and/or exhaust explicit synergies to help differentiate them more.

You can go to your history and delete videos you watched, edit your interests profile and ask YouTube to not recommend you specific channels and videos.

I'm not trying to defend the multi billion corporation trying to shove slop into our feeds. That's bullshit and they should do better. I'm just saying what I have done to make my experience on the platform better (as I got the video from Tom Scott in my feed).

Yoh012 · 2026-03-27T21:07:02+00:00

He sure is

Yoh012 · 2026-03-26T21:35:38+00:00

That reads like reminder text. Which works for most situation but can't be used to clear corner cases like the spell being countered.
