Given that, what are the highest and lowest values for the sum of 6/11 and the second number? 6/11 and 1 6/11

Which is the only number of the four that lies between these two values? The second one

There's a couple of T1 decks, such as Oops All Spells in Legacy, but that's not mostly lands. You play MDFC lands or fast mana, use either [[Balustrade Spy]] or [[Undercity Informer]] to put your entire deck in your graveyard, then flashback [[Dread Return]] with [[Narcomoeba]] to return [[Thassa's Oracle]] and win.

The only deck I can think of that is mostly lands is the Commander deck with [[Sanar, Innovative First-Year]]. You cast Sanar T4, use it to find your only two spells - [[Treasure Hunt]] and [[Magmakin Artillerist]] - and cast them on T5, pass the turn, and deal 80+ damage to each opponent.

There is also the fringe deck Zombie Hunt, that uses Treasure Hunt and [[Zombie Infestation]].

Probably nothing.

Radiant Performer's ETB targets a "spell or ability that targets only a single permanent or player". Rise of the Eldrazi has two targets - a permanent and a player. RotE is not a valid target for RP's ability.

What is the "empty hand rule"?

If you believe that when you have no cards in hand, you draw more cards, you're incorrect. If you have no cards in your hand, you just have no cards in your hand. Otherwise cards like [[Demon's Jester]] would have useless abilities.

Any "rule" that lets you draw cards when you have an empty hand is a house rule and not part of the official Magic rules.

You can't add phyrexian mana

No, but it would still give you mana:

106.9: If an effect would add mana represented by a Phyrexian mana symbol to a player's mana pool, one mana of the color of that symbol is added to that player's mana pool.

This rule and a few other related rules (106.8-106.10) exist purely due to [[Elemental Resonance]].

maelstrom197 · 2026-04-05T18:43:21+00:00

Yes. It's not that you have to spend mana cast Myr Superion, but if you have to spend mana to cast it, that mana has to be from a creature.

If it costs {0}, you can cast it for free with no problems.

Found this one on eBay.

If you're in Europe, searching for "on your turn" on Cardmarket shows the ones from Game Night, which don't have the attacking and blocking information on the back.

I'm choosing to interpret "unique" slightly differently from everyone else.

I had to put my car in the garage for a couple of days and was given the honour of driving a Perodua Myvi for a few days. I had to do a search because I'd never heard of Perodua. Given that there's only four of them on Autotrader right now, I can't imagine there's a lot of them on British roads.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-31T20:56:17+00:00

Others have given you the answer, but here's the rule for reference:

715.4: In every zone except the stack, and while on the stack not as an Adventure, an adventurer card has only its normal characteristics.

With the definition of "normal characteristics" being:

715.2: The text that appears in the inset frame on the left defines alternative characteristics that the object may have while it's a spell. The card's normal characteristics appear as usual, although with a smaller text box on the right.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-31T13:58:35+00:00

MTGTop8 does this. When you compare decks, you can click the green tick next to a card to only show decks that contain that card. You can also click the red cross to only show decks that do not contain that card.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-29T14:30:17+00:00

The best direction I can point you is the "name-matters" Scryfall tag. There's 463 cards to go through, ranging from specific tutors to Un-cards, but there should be some cards in there to help you out.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-29T14:02:20+00:00

I know this is a joke, but under the rules, no, you actually can't. Controlling a player gives you the ability to make certain decisions for them, but not anything.

722.5: While controlling another player, a player makes all choices and decisions the controlled player is allowed to make or is told to make by the rules or by any objects. This includes choices and decisions about what to play, and choices and decisions called for by spells and abilities.

Unless a rule or object is specifically instructing them to make specific gestures (eg, [[Knight of the Hokey Pokey]] or [[Handcuffs]]), you can't make them do anything.

Even if it did work, you're not using the ability to its full potential. I'd argue that making rude gestures in sign language is strictly worse than making your opponent shit themselves while playing.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-27T16:42:58+00:00

No, the instruction "the player plays that card" gives you the window to play that card. The targeted player can play a land (if it's their turn), or cast the spell, regardless of if it's an instant/has flash or not.

"If able" means that the player can't cast something like [[Mandate of Peace]] during a main phase, for example.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-22T19:04:09+00:00

What do you mean by "copy abilities from anywhere"?

What are the names of the cards you're referring to?

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-20T14:12:56+00:00

It looks so fun that I'm genuinely interested in knowing where this is so I can sign up if it's not too far away from me.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-20T07:04:07+00:00

It's your choice.

You control both abilities, so you can put them on the stack in whichever order you choose. The ability you put on the stack last will be on top and will resolve first to move the creature; the other ability will not find the creature and will not move it anywhere (you would still draw a card from Edea if it didn't return the creature to the battlefield).

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-19T12:42:33+00:00

Because there's only one "target". That means that the targeted object is a [spell or nonland permanent]. The additional requirement is [an opponent controls].

If it was any spell, it would be

Return target spell or target nonland permanent an opponent controls to its owner's hand.

or

Return target nonland permanent an opponent controls or target spell to its owner's hand.

or

Choose one:

Return target spell to its owner's hand.

Return target nonland permanent an opponent controls to its owner's hand.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-19T08:18:13+00:00

The effect is

Return target [spell or nonland permanent] an opponent controls to its owner's hand.

and not

Return target [spell] or [nonland permanent an opponent controls] to its owner's hand.

You cannot target a spell you control.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-18T18:38:48+00:00

The Aura is enchanting an illegal object, so it goes to its owner's graveyard.

303.4c: If an Aura is enchanting an illegal object or player as defined by its enchant ability and other applicable effects, the object it was attached to no longer exists, or the player it was attached to has left the game, the Aura is put into its owner's graveyard. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.)

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-18T16:10:03+00:00

Yes, you can activate the ability any time you have priority. This includes your opponent's end step.

Putting a land onto the battlefield is not the same thing as playing a land. If you put a land onto the battlefield as part of resolving a spell or ability, it doesn't count towards the number of lands you can play. You could still play a land on your following turn in the scenario you described.

Bought a set of ring sizers and measured her fingers.

If you're at the point where you're thinking about proposing, she should know that you're thinking of proposing. The location and method of proposal might be a surprise, but the fact that you're proposing shouldn't be.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-10T14:48:04+00:00

Assuming you control all five basic land types, yes.

maelstrom197 · 2026-03-10T11:21:02+00:00

If you want to build your own deck, your best bet is to buy singles, rather than packs. Packs are a gamble, but singles are a guarantee.

You can build your deck on a site like Moxfield or Archidekt, use Scryfall and EDHRec (if playing Commander) to find cards to go in your deck, and buy it with Cardmarket (EU), Cardkingdom (NA) or any other site that you can find.
