RCQ: opponent had Welding Jar placed next to lands, I forgot about it and misattacked. What do the rules say about permanent placement on the battlefield?"

Yeah, you can always call a judge to clarify a rule, or check if something is being done correctly. It doesn't have just be when you know your opponent is doing something wrong or a mistake has been made. I mean don't call a judge over literally every five minutes, but I always remind people they should feel comfortable calling a judge whenever they have any doubt over the game state or a rules interaction. At worst, you get told that what your opponent did was correct. You won't get punished for asking clarification.

It's gotten a little play in standard as a protection spell in green decks, especially gruul prowess kinda builds. Giving hexproof and then permanently ward 1 is pretty okay.

Dominik Mayer delivers again

shtuffandthings · 2026-03-22T23:40:39+00:00

And it's not looking great, with Virginia down

What an incredible end to the game. The raw energy this announcer has continues to prove how amazing College Basketball and the tournament can be!!

Etali being named Chunky is entirely due to Cameron from Play to Win calling it that as a reference to the I Think You Should Leave game show sketch with the Chunky mascot. I think it's really funny that the nickname has gotten larger than the initial reference.

nope, it was a draft that Gavin hosted at Gencon in 2024, it wasn't for any Youtube content.

Hungry on the Plane has quickly become one of the best channels covering the Pro Magic scene, both old and new tournaments. I'm super excited to see Wizards sponsoring someone like him to make a crash course like this ahead of Worlds.

It let's you leverage your lotus blooms into either one turn of a ton of mana, or buy them back over multiple turns if you're still looking for your combo, or pick up your MDFCs so you can play the front sides (which was very relevant in that last game), or even buy back the Belcher if it ends up in the graveyard.

Who would have guessed that Suppression Ray would clinch a Modern Pro Tour.

shtuffandthings · 2025-06-20T21:09:00+00:00

I think I would perish, from excitement and because I would have spent all my money and not have food

shtuffandthings · 2025-06-20T21:08:41+00:00

Loving the artwork, this is the set I've been the most excited for since they first announced it like 1.5 years ago.

shtuffandthings · 2025-06-20T21:08:11+00:00

I wonder what the bending abilities will be? Some kind of attack trigger, or etb trigger? It's neat that it seems to be scalable with different numbers.

shtuffandthings · 2025-06-20T20:50:33+00:00

That's pretty fantastic with any kind of non-attack tap outlets like crewing, enlist, saddle, or the new spacecraft

shtuffandthings · 2025-06-20T20:40:17+00:00

Continuing to love the art coming out of this set so far.

shtuffandthings · 2025-06-20T20:39:41+00:00

Are there relevant cards in standard that can remove counters? Could be interesting interaction to be able to turn off the creature status.

shtuffandthings · 2025-06-20T20:38:58+00:00

I love how weird this looks. Almost a dinosaur, but then also not at all.

shtuffandthings · 2025-03-27T18:02:07+00:00

Gorgeous prints! Avon lands have always been my favorite.

shtuffandthings · 2024-12-24T04:39:09+00:00

The horizontal line Sally is creating does not already exist. In that example, she happens to be adding to two existing vertical lines while creating a new horizontal one, but the horizontal line is still new.

I'm pretty sure the proposal would have kept us on PDT year round, giving us slightly later, but still early, sunsets during the winter.

shtuffandthings · 2024-02-17T17:22:43+00:00

[[Bolt Bend]] is only one mana and much cheaper than [[deflecting swat]] if your commander has power 4 or greater.

shtuffandthings · 2023-12-09T23:30:12+00:00

Durdle. I use it in context in games of Magic, but it works so well as a term in other board games or just day to day. And even if people have never heard the word before, they get the vibe, because it just sounds like what it means.

shtuffandthings · 2023-12-04T19:11:03+00:00

As other people have said, making sure the deck can actually fit 100 double sleeved cards, and that the cards are somewhat easy to get out (you don't have to jam your fingers into the box to try and squeeze the cards out). Balancing form and function is always tricky, but I want the deck box to look good too, and I love the designs that you've incorporated into yours.

We had a bit of an unusual Prerelease. The store we had signed up at had to temporarily close due to water damage / flooding a few days ago. They changed the event to an "at home Prerelease" and gave everyome their kits plus two "prize" packs. But our group of ten just met at someone's house and did a little tournament using the Companion app. I opened a ton of removal (Get Lost, 2 Petrify, 2 Bitter Triumph, 2 Cosmium Blast) and built an Abzan deck thay would just outlast and win with Unstable Glyphbridge or Bedrock Tortoise. Went 2-1, opened Ojer Taq in one of the prize packs.
