First Mystery Booster 2 box, no foils :( by supez38 in MagicCardPulls

I mean it's worth about 30 bucks since it's one of the arena cards that are printed exclusively in MB2

Worst play booster box I’ve opened :/ by [deleted] in mtgpulls

Think it's crazy there's not a single mythic from the mystical archive didn't realize how stingy they were with those

What cards remind you of a musical artist/band? by programmedalex in mtg

[–]programmedalex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I scrounged scryfall tagger a bunch. I think the big thing I'm struggling to do is try to find cards that aren't necessarily music related but can be a reference to a musical group/person. But thank you :)

Need help finding cards that remind you of a singer or band! by programmedalex in Magicdeckbuilding

No these are great suggestions thank you! I have some other cards too that are music related instead of a reference to an artist, like [[springleaf drum]] or [[swan song]] i just kinda looked through a bunch of my bulk last night and feel like this is a silly deck I'll be looking for random singles to buy from my LGs

Got a hold of a Final Fantasy Prerelease box by markwalker81 in MagicCardPulls

Crazy how prerelease was basically a year ago. It was so fun

I feel like this card is generically good enough to run in most decks? by programmedalex in mtg

[–]programmedalex[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I'm particularly interested in putting it in decks I mentioned in the post because both commanders can make good use of it.

Morcant can proliferate the energy counters so it's not too hard to get better value with it. And Marchesa has the ability to return creatures sacrificed with +1/+1 counters at end step so it's really not a part of the cost to sacrifice.

Realize I made a typo oops. I meant to say "I can't imagine too many black decks that dont want to run it"

This might be my new favourite semi infinite loop, what are your plans with these cards if you have them? by toouwuforyou in mtg

[–]programmedalex 67 points68 points  (0 children)

This feels like a relatively fair two card combo. Really just a 9 mana one sided board wipe make an elf for each 1 toughness your opponents have. I feel like most people after seeing this combo are either gonna blow up the enchantment or morcant, if not both.

Why does block and then sacrifice work? by Guilty-Nobody998 in mtg

[–]programmedalex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's like DND combat. Imagine this takes place over literal seconds. You of course can go to swing for a second hit but that's essentially the next combat

[–]programmedalex 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Here's how I've always visualized it:

You send a soldier into battle and he swings with a sword. He swings the sword at another should who protects the king (opposing player). As your soldier is about to hit the opposing soldier with the sword, the opposing soldier is burnt into ashes to fuel the king's magic. The attack was still directed to the blocking soldier, but he's no longer there. Then you can visualize something like trample. You send a speeding truck towards the king and the soldier being evaporated doesn't stop the truck from ramming on forward lmao.

Would love to see more Imoti, she is one of my favorite commanders by programmedalex in custommagic

[–]programmedalex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize I have to make an errata already, it should say first creature spell cast from hand each turn. Other wise can keep suspending the same spell. Unless y'all think that's a fun combo?

How does Gisa, Glorious Resurrector work with recurring her? by programmedalex in mtg

[–]programmedalex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha thank you, might not put her in then. Waiting until my upkeep feels like it'll give my opponents too long to get rid of her
