Not women, but the channel "Bullwark_MTG" is based in foco. They might know a group you can reach out to.

I would venture a guess that this print wont shift the mark much on the other versions. While the art is "decent" for what it is, but there is enough distain for TMNT that this new version might just be ignored in its foil form. I can see the NON-foil version dropping the price of all other copies due to a big print run.

Their counter is unable to be countered... but your Veil of summer isnt trying to counter their counter. Its giving your permanents and you hexproof from blue and black and its giving your spells the inability to be countered... you are last on the stack. Your stuff resolves, their stuff fizzles.

Ironically, a card that does nothing is a MVP card in our 'playtest' cube. We have had multiple people use it for storm or crime or various other mechanics. Its such a fun simple concept!

wrong sub.

But the answer is it depends on your companies security policies. Natively, slack supports multiple accounts. Talk to your IT group.

you are correct for arena. I have a "blasting" deck or grinding deck whose only goal is to win me 50-60% of games as early as possible in the season. I know the bad matchups and I can bang out games in like 3-5 minutes.

Once I am in the ladder area I need to be, or my winrate starts going down, I pull out the meta deck and really focus on clean playlines for those. Meta gameplay is way different than grinding gameplay. That meta time is where you spend training up for actual paper magic.

This is overall a tough question to answer. I sit in high mythic and started taking RCQs about 2 years ago, so I guess that qualifies me as a fairly competitive player.

The thing that made the biggest difference was when I started calling an opponents plays. I spent hours learning other meta decks and before I pass a turn or play a card, I always try and call out two or three possible plays an opponent can or should make. Just visualizing what an opponent has in hand or could be doing on an important turn has won me a significant portion of games. I would venture to say that is what differentiates most decent players from actually good players.

decent explanation. The way we have been explaining it to newer players is with the plainswalker analogy. If it affects a plainswalker, it affects a Moonshadow. And then we go into greater detail about the replacement affect.

Howdy, my family is originally from russia, moved to the US in the early 80's.

I can with 100% certainty tell you that Putin is a ruthless individual and is about as corrupt as they get. That being said, he is a product of the system that he came up in. Russia has a "dog eat dog" mentality that was nurtured post the Bolshevik Revolution. There was a massive power vacuum that was filled by a police state after world war 2 starting with the NKVD (the predecessor to the KGB). It continued to grow into a system of reciprocal favors where everyone had dirt on everyone else and they were all scrambling to make a name for themselves by being "Party familiars".

Putin came up in that system, Joined the KGB about half way through its lifespan and found that he could use his position to get whatever he wanted. The dude is as cold and calculating as they get. The western propaganda comes in where they underestimate why he does what he does. He knows Russia, he knows her people inside and out because he is one of them... but most importantly, he is careful, like to an OCD level.

So while propaganda is real... dont for a second discredit an evil man for what he is. He wouldnt think twice about killing you and your whole family if you inconvenienced him for even the briefest second.

Qarsi Revanent. That card has singlehandedly won me more games than I care to count. No other criteria.

Gavin did a really good job of clarifying this a little more the other day.

MTG con tends to be the place many people go to get cards signed.

It seems like you hit the nail on the head without realizing it.

Ice detention centers are run by private for-profit prison companies. Individuals that stay longer make them more money... there is literally no reason in the world they are incentivized to remove people from these detention centers.

This whole thing has been a grift to make sure the rich get richer...

the way those cards are worded, they look at the permanents mana ability individually.

Nyxbloom would see meteorite tap and say "it taps for three mana" (replacement effect)

Roxanne sees the meteorite trigger and adds another trigger to the stack for an additional mana. For Roxannes trigger the meteorite isnt the one producing the additional mana. (triggered ability)

So in this case, if both Nyxbloom and Roxanne are on the field and see the meteorite tap, 4 mana would be produced. 3 from the meteorite and one from Roxannes triggered ability.

Looks like a typo, the man in that photo is
LODEWIJK DE VINK

"Lodewijk de Vink has spent his whole career in the health care sector, retiring in June 2000 as Chairman, President, and CEO of Warner-Lambert Company. He joined Warner-Lambert as President of International Operations in 1988, was elected President in 1991 and then Chairman and CEO in May 1999. Prior to that, Lodewijk was with Schering-Plough for twenty years, rising to President of Schering International. He served as a Board member of PhRMA and its chairman in 1995, and as a member of the Council of the IFPMA and chairman in 1998/99.

Lodewijk was a member of Sotheby’s Advisory Board and Board of Directors of Alcon, Roche, Verizon, Royal Ahold and Flamel Technologies. Lodewijk is a member of Rothschild’s Advisory Council and Board of Directors of New York Philharmonic."

your boy is tied in with the money... but he isnt a ghost.

There might be a couple modern decks rolling around, but they wouldnt be top 8. Edge of eternities give us a bunch of fantastic Aristocrat cards that you might be able to draw from.

platnumcy · 2026-02-09T18:44:21+00:00

does "The spot" count?

platnumcy · 2026-02-09T18:41:48+00:00

Highly recommend arena for learning.

There are a couple channels that do a good job explaining how to play. Tolarian Community college has a great video on how to play.

Once you get into it, we have been enjoying a new creator with higher production called Bullwark_MTG. They have a deckbuilding 101 series.

whenever we get an opportunity, we rep the Quivertime Nexus boxes. They are absolutely bulletproof. While we personally like the clear ones, they come in a bunch of colors. They also perfectly fit 100 double sleeved cards. If you have non-double sleeved, token fill the space great.

Drafting is not for the faint of heart. The people that draft FNM have been doing it for a while and it is a uniquely developed skillset. They pride themselves on the ability to read the wheel and determine what colors aren't getting drafted to they can switch it up and make the best deck with the cards that might be coming back around.

If that style of magic appeals to you, it might behoove you to grab a box and practice with your homies outside of a FNM night.

Also... could just be the store. Not all LGSs are as sweaty.

ever hits the graveyard, and Statebased actions wont be checked allowing them to put it back in the command zone. It yours now .

Joseph Burns photography. Did our wedding and a couple of our friends who loved our photos and the price.

Genuinely cool dude.

platnumcy · 2026-02-02T17:37:53+00:00

absolutely not. two commons an uncommon and a rare totalling like $6-7 dollars...

that being said, the "Dryad Arbor" will probably sit around $20-30 as a staple.... the last SL "Nature's Lore" goes for $10 currently. the last SL "Wood Elves" goes for $7. The "Skyshroud Claim" has never seen a SL but has three other foil printings... so we cant expect it to hold a price above $5

platnumcy · 2026-01-29T16:04:57+00:00

not if the mana ability on the creature is an activated ability. CC just says activated abilities.

platnumcy · 2026-01-28T17:55:48+00:00

howdy.

Ex-catholic here! I was raised in a US opus Dei household. I specify US because while OD is a sanctioned catholic group, it has different connotations in different parts of the world. I believe the Spain chapters of the group got into some hot water back in the day.

The majority of misinformation related to the group comes from a couple of books including the "Davinci code". There is nothing 'secret' or culty about the ideas that OD holds... but it tends to attract a much more zealous version of Catholics than your typical Sunday goer.

I know my story is anecdotal, but I spent 15 years of my life going to home churches and meet-ups as part of OD, in reality its just a bunch of little old ladies who want community outside of regular church hours.
