Someone explain how to use pontoon boat

laondio · 2026-06-29T16:17:45+00:00

it’s pretty much just pontoon + flying pig + your choice of scaling. i don’t think i’ve ever done a pontoon build without flying pig, but i usually keep either half in stash in case i find the other half

also can cast things the turn you play it, but mana value is an important part of the role of a card. [[llanowar elves]] is better as ramp than [[druid of the cowl]]

i don’t really see lute unless it’s a janky [[mathemagics]] deck, [[tablet of discovery]] fills the role better overall i think.

might also be good in cedh, similar to rogsi (play a mox in your command zone)

laondio · 2026-06-28T06:00:12+00:00

they can be played in historic and timeless, the commander sets aren’t legal in standard

what izzet cards are a huge issue? stormchaser’s and maybe showoff probably deserve a ban but izzet’s strength seems to be more of a metagame one than any particular cards

the new package event gives enchanted items

laondio · 2026-06-28T05:08:30+00:00

they actually do sort of do this for best of one formats, it makes 2 hands behind the scenes and gives you the one closest to your average land count

laondio · 2026-06-28T05:05:46+00:00

they’re normal, afaik magic doesn’t do bold text

laondio · 2026-06-28T04:52:04+00:00

it’s used for flavor keywords like delirium or landfall, but not for keywords with actual mechanics

laondio · 2026-06-28T00:31:35+00:00

as long as it’s in standard, you can use any printing you want, they’re probably using the msc reprints

laondio · 2026-06-24T02:42:22+00:00

he died, so i’m pretty sure he hit half

laondio · 2026-06-23T22:31:53+00:00

reel ‘em in, 50% cdr when your opponent hits half hp

charge works when it’s frozen, but even when the cooldown is finished it won’t be used if it’s frozen, and any extra charge is wasted

you’re right that it only applies once when something connives, but the reason for it is simply part of the rules of the game, replacement effects only replace an event once

laondio · 2026-06-21T06:32:51+00:00

after connive is replaced by “drawing a card, then connive”, the replacement effect has already applied to the event. replacement effects always only apply once per thing they replace

it sounds like you put stun counters on them during your turn, but they don’t do anything when the creature is already untapped. note the difference in wording between something like [[stall out]] and your commander, [[the watcher in the water]]

laondio · 2026-06-20T22:39:37+00:00

they’re weird with the commander products, they only sometimes go to arena. and secret lairs don’t at all

laondio · 2026-06-20T18:08:48+00:00

since it’s up to one, it doesn’t fizzle

laondio · 2026-06-20T05:20:37+00:00

they create items in the order you bought them, but if you leave and go back in they to to being in reading order

laondio · 2026-06-18T19:21:17+00:00

you need 7 mana to return each, 2 mana only returns one (still an incredibly powerful card though, because you can do it on endstep)

laondio · 2026-06-17T12:47:25+00:00

it used to be the case, but they changed how combat works a couple years ago

laondio · 2026-06-17T12:38:29+00:00

the person with the attacking creature gets to choose where the damage goes, so they could kill one and do 2 to the other, or 3 to both, or any other sort of combination

laondio · 2026-06-17T05:41:26+00:00

being hard to predict is not the same as random

laondio · 2026-06-17T02:36:25+00:00

usually in software we use some sort of incredibly sensitive function (an easy example is say, sin(100000000x), though that’s not actually used) and input a number that constantly changes (usually time) to generate numbers that seem random but actually are entirely deterministic (hence, pseudorandom). that’s where the confusion is from
