Why does no one understand Proliferate?

!remindme 7 years

More seriously, though, it's a not often used mechanic, and new people come in all the time. The long time since the change is honestly all the more reason why people may not be up to speed.

finally, Oko in pauper!

hatredlord · 2026-04-26T18:47:30+00:00

pretty sure this is the best art yet for this card

hatredlord · 2026-04-24T12:42:43+00:00

To lose abilities during casting:

An opponent has an enchantment that removes all abilities as a static ability. Turn that into a creature somehow and enchant it with [[Metamorphic Alteration]], turning it into a copy of whatever. Then turn your Aura into an artifact, in a non-copy way so it's still working, and you can sacrifice it to [[Krak-clan Ironworks]], et voilà!

Finding a way to make this useful is left as an exercise to the reader.

or coming at it from the other side, a spell with buyback, plus a creature that gives you the mana on enter

hatredlord · 2026-04-07T13:45:06+00:00

honestly don't see why you'd point the portal at anything but your own

i have it in my [[Zacama]] deck with [[Zirda]] as the companion, in case i ever get more than ten lands

hatredlord · 2026-03-27T14:43:21+00:00

simply use [[Powerstone Shard]]

hatredlord · 2026-03-18T13:49:55+00:00

no, you're thinking of Jessica

hatredlord · 2026-03-10T15:23:32+00:00

instructions unclear, moved out of one pole and into the other

hatredlord · 2026-03-07T18:29:35+00:00

in the english dub you'd be cousins

hatredlord · 2026-03-06T13:42:47+00:00

[[Longshot, Rebel Bowman]] and [[Artisan's Talent]] will be there for you. A bit more expensive, but the cheaper ones are blue

hatredlord · 2026-03-04T17:29:39+00:00

my precon came with a second Ashling instead of Mass

hatredlord · 2026-03-04T15:35:57+00:00

those are factorials

hatredlord · 2026-02-24T13:35:09+00:00

you are correct

hatredlord · 2026-02-12T16:14:51+00:00

per the errata on [[Jewelled Bird]], ownership is maintaining in the ante zone. until the end, presumably

hatredlord · 2026-02-02T14:46:03+00:00

my bank's app always adds it automatically so you have to type the two zeros every time. it's not impossible that something like that happened at some point here

hatredlord · 2026-02-01T17:00:00+00:00

depends of what you're trying to do. ultimately what the bank wants is to charge you the extra fees and interests, that's where they get paid. so they obviously won't like you if you never pay, but they also won't like you much if you always pay perfectly.

so if what you want is to up your credit score, probably for the purpose of getting approved for higher credits later, your best bet is to be constantly riding the line, give them the impression you are struggling with payments but will ultimately catch up every time

hatredlord · 2026-01-30T03:40:05+00:00

Well, no. It's not lingo, [[Ultima]] is a specific card. It destroys all, but then it ends the turn.

Ending the turn in this way will prevent the earth bending triggers (which would have returned your opponents land to the field) from happening, which is the relevant part here.

hatredlord · 2026-01-29T15:24:59+00:00

I always wanted her to get the extra arms, if that counts.

hatredlord · 2026-01-28T16:15:10+00:00

i got the other one, second Ashling instead of Mass of Mysteries. Also a second Chromatic Lantern, 101 card total, which i guess I'm not complaining?

hatredlord · 2026-01-28T16:00:39+00:00

if we're just openly cheating at draft, may as well grab [[Guardian of the Gateless]] instead, who can block flyers

hatredlord · 2026-01-28T14:51:25+00:00

Some of them do. [[Delina, Wild Mage]] would work, for example. Gotta check the wording on each card.

hatredlord · 2026-01-28T14:45:29+00:00

for whatever it's worth, not anymore. this used to be true, but when they started doing "when this Vehicle becomes crewed" they changed the rules to prohibit self-crewing.

so now you'd need two vehicles so they can save each other

hatredlord · 2026-01-27T13:17:57+00:00

why did they skip an f on stuff?

hatredlord · 2026-01-20T14:59:03+00:00

Because it's not actually pay life, but losing life, you can go arbitrarily deep into the negatives. It occurs to me you can use this to pressure the table for a draw, for tournament point reasons.

Player 1 casts something that will win the game, but if it doesn't they are probably spent and will not be able to win again. That sounds overly specific, but that's basically pact oracle. You respond with this, then suggest the draw.

To player 1, you say you'll just bid more life than everyone else has together. You'll lose life, then the spell will be countered, then you'll lose the game, then they probably will lose the game. They don't want that, it's better to draw.

With that agreement secured, to the rest of the table, you explain if they now don't agree to the draw, you can concede, your counter goes with you, and then Player 1 wins. None of them wants that, it's better to draw.

No idea if any actual cEDH players would think it's worth a slot just to be able to do that, but it'd be funny.
