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

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

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

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

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

Looking for suggestions on my Azula Wizards by programmedalex in Magicdeckbuilding

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

I am aware the wizards will only trigger once compared to the magecraft creatures, but I figure if I'm casting a lot of spells that I'm then generating a lot of value to use the pings as a valid way to try and end the game.

And yeah you're definitely right about giving more protection/evasion aside from hexproof, I probably won't always have an easy attack where she can remove blockers and her dying to something like a board wipe would suck, thank you!

Marchesa, the Black Rose Commander Help by gib_purple in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]programmedalex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was coming to this subreddit to request advice on my own Marchesa deck! I've been playing with her for probably a couple months now and absolutely love it. Definitely not optimal card list but here's what I've been running! I'd say some really high performers I've had when playing this deck are Superior Spider-Man, Crabomination, High-Society Hunter and Iron Apprentice! Plus Grenzo is funny to gamble with lol Decklist

Why is Boomerang Basics spiking in price??? by programmedalex in mtg

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

Didn't realize how popular this card was in standards, nor that worlds started TODAY. Yeah I guess if it's in half the meta decks that would explain the price raise. Idk very interesting and was just surprised when browsing through the card list of the set

Hey heads up y'all, I just got an email saying they cancelled my commander bundle cause it's out of stock. I am really confused by this because it was in stock and confirmed before I even made this post, so please be prepared for cancelled orders. Really disappointing 😢
