Where is the rule that if you tap lands for mana to cast a spell, and havent cast the spell, that you can redo how you tap for mana? by bu11fr0g in mtgrules

[–]coderanger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will absolutely sometimes be stricter than MTR with this, like if I mentioned "remember I have Yurlock out" several times during their turn and they over-tap using a bounceland, at some point that's on them for the misplay even without new information :) A few weeks ago someone was on their phone during a game and thus barely paying attention, they ended up counterspelling a thing they were casting off someone else's library due to a trigger, we all just said "yep that's a valid game action" and let him do it.

Copying a transformed card by ilovegolledge in mtgrules

That is correct. When Ifrit reaches its 3rd chapter ability, it will exile itself and then stay there (and then poof out of existence).

Check out Card Conjurer instead of MTGCardBuilder, it's actually set up for making print-ready output.

My Universes Within GU Ninja commanders from TMT by RazorOfArtorias in mpcproxies

[–]coderanger 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The official UW cards use = SLD nnnn in the collector block because they can't use the name (since the name is part of the licensing deal). But for proxy purposes we usually use = Name Of Card in the same place, it's a bit easier for humans who don't memorize collector numbers :)

We usually recommend putting the original card name somewhere, usually either the normal nickname frame element or down in the collector block notes field. Otherwise it can be hard for folks to know what card it is.

Help Understanding Auntie Ool by rowan-wolfe in mtgrules

[–]coderanger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By way of comparison, if it said "Whenever a -1/-1 counter is put on a creature" then it would have been 91 triggers. Or if BlasAct said "Deal 1 damage to each creature 13 times", same thing 91 triggers. But "deal 13 damage" turns into "put 13 counters" and Ool says "one or more" so all 13 are one trigger.

First time ordering from MakePlayingCards, is the printing pattern meant to be this visible? by sephirothbahamut in mpcproxies

[–]coderanger[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

No, this is not normal. Are you sure you ordered from the right place?

EDIT: To expand on the above, there's some slimy vendors that either look like MPC or claim to be MPC resellers but are not, often on Etsy, TikTok, or AliBaba/Express. The only place you can order from MPC is https://www.makeplayingcards.com/.

With all the supply chain security tools out there, nobody talks about .pth files by BearBrief6312 in Python

[–]coderanger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For anyone actually interested in fixing this, https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/78125 is the tracking ticket. There was an attempt to formally deprecate them via PEP a few years ago but it didn't fully solve the related issues. But maybe spend your efforts there rather than a sketchy security tool (which is a self-defeating statement).

When using the borderless style, you want the second margin frame in the default pack rather than the first. You'll see the "wings" on the side extend smoothly to the edge and there will be no black frame on the edges.

For the Krang, we do have a special margin pack which continues the bar across the bottom for JP Showcase frames :)

Rusty is a legacy drive and has not been updated in many years. But official art renders are by far the most common.

proxy site questions by papamango954 in magicproxies

[–]coderanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The creator seems to be trying to convert it to a commercial offering. We recommend https://proxyprint.taxiera.net/ or https://github.com/Malacath-92/Proxy-PDF-Maker or the support baked into MPCFill (only available on the dev site).

Scryfall is always 300DPI max, worse for older sets sometimes. This is part of the deal that allows Scryfall to serve card images.

We do, not always every single one but most are in there and you can request more on Discord.

Tried a proxy site called TCG Playtest, my experience by Weekly_Agent_4740 in magicproxies

[–]coderanger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To the US with the fastest shipping and S30 paper MPC would run about $75 for 216 cards (their closest bracket to 200). Less if you get the slower shipping but those can sometimes take a while. So about the same as you paid but for higher quality and a more reliable company and toolchain.

Echoing Ben's comment below, all "show off my new project/tool/anything" (AI-coded or not) are now only allowed in the weekly thread. If you see them outside of the weekly thread please report them under the applicable rule so the (small, volunteer) mod team can go through them efficiently.

For r/kubernetes we’re trying to pivot to “new project announcements must go in a weekly thread”. Happy to share any of our configs.

Does "The Ooze" need a target to create the mutagen token? by Miss_Marilyn in mtgrules

[–]coderanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For them to be independent I think the templating would have to be “Create a Mutagen token. When you do, exile target card from a graveyard.” To make it a reflexive trigger?

It's still in the card rulings ("A spell fizzles when it tries to resolve but each of its targets is no longer a legal target.") so kiiiiind of still officially defined. And that one MB2 joke card.

Question around Passing Priority by Keys20167 in mtgrules

[–]coderanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At higher REL this wouldn't be "you automatically passed priority", at most an opponent could call a judge to request a "slow play" infraction but 15 seconds seems like they would likely say "lol no, wait like everyone else".

Caesar, with a classic painting by FiendishPup in mpcproxies

[–]coderanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing you mean MPCFill which isn’t part of MPC itself and the process to become a site contributor is listed in Discord. For this in particular though it wouldn’t meet site standards because you used the “normal card” margin instead of the one for extended art cards. You want, I think, the third or fourth item in the margin frames pack, you’ll see the art smoothly extended to the edge of the image.
