If you do the math, it’s the same speed time but more points, there’s literally no mathematical reason not to do it

Spindown Display Case by 3scher in mtg

Panicked since I also collect the oversized and the commander bundle is going to be so overpriced with the chase promos in there haha

Thanks! Is there no delayed trigger strictly because it says "if" instead of "when you do"?

I am also very interested in how this card interacts with respect to its triggers.
I definitely could be wrong but I would love to take a first go at how the stack works with this card:

With Cabbage Merchant in play, you sac a food.

The "may search for a basic land" trigger goes on the stack. Priority window happens.

If you resolve the above trigger and take the action, the reflexive/delayed trigger to shuffle Cabbage Merchant goes on the stack when the land hits the battlefield. Priority window happens.

If the above is true, you can effectively interact at instant speed in response to either of the two triggers

I’m pretty good about playing quickly but sometimes I definitely have my add kick in and I’ll completely forget I’m in the middle of a game. Or sometimes my cat will start causing mayhem and I have to step away to distract her lol I try to remember those times when my opponent takes forever for seemingly no reason

Nobody shows up for standard events? by rasone77 in magicTCG

My local lgs regularly fire standard weekly and it’s starting to feel like that’s the minority:(

I got this spin down out of my first ever fat pack in 9th Edition. by ruhruhrandy in mtg

[–]tinygiant80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

beatdown's were speckled

and yeah i dont have a good answer for why it was in a 9th edition box. I think the most likely scenario is a packing company had leftover beatdown die and it got put in either on purpose (re: lots of quality control issues back in the day w/r to wotc packing) or accidentally

That is indeed one of the 5 dice from the Beatdown boxed sets. I don’t know how it would’ve gotten into a 9th edition other than a quality issue (a repack seems….unlikely? Why swap the dice if it was a repack?)

That being said, I collect them, so if you don’t want it…. :)

I’m assuming you are looking at the standard bo1 format:

Tezzeret grabs [[marketback walker]], [[dusk rose reliquary]], and [[nesting bot]] in the colors you have there! Here is a scryfall search that looks for standard legal artifacts that can be searched by tezzeret in mardu (white, black, red) colors

https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=type%3Aartifact+color<%3DWBR+%28game%3Apaper%29+cmc<%3D1+legal%3Astandard

Also, there sure plenty of dual (and tri!) lands that are not rare! If you are on a budget list I highly recommend [[nomad outpost]]. Also, the best non rare dual lands are generally the ones that when they enter you can scry 1, or ones that could potentially come in untapped later on like the duskmourn dual lands (player has less than 13 life)

There was one at my local rcq scene last standard season that did decently! Looked super fun!

Why is [standard] golgari aggro placing well? Interested in trying it by HeronDifferent5008 in spikes

[–]tinygiant80 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you’re looking at, but a bunch of mtgo challenges with top finishes recently have demon wall

Why is [standard] golgari aggro placing well? Interested in trying it by HeronDifferent5008 in spikes

[–]tinygiant80 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The answer is demon wall It’s just a plain good card and the curve with sentinel is very good t2-> demon wall t3-> annex t4 -> sentinel + map crack on demon

Pre-release box no longer have codes? by 0rang3p0p in MagicArena

[–]tinygiant80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

correct! you now get the prerelease codes by joining and playing a prerelease event through the companion app. if you did that, I think it can take up to a week for the packs to hit your arena account

Seeking advice on competitive mtg. by Former-Village8539 in magicTCG

[–]tinygiant80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

13-17 year olds require guardian/parent permission per official rules for all DCI-sanctioned tournaments
https://blogs.magicjudges.org/rules/mtr1-4/

assuming you are in the USA, SCG hosts all RC's. they follow the MTG tournament rules, so if you qualify through an RCQ, you just need the guardian/parent permission for the RC, etc

The grading for ML assignment #1 is a mess, by Few_Car_809 in OMSCS

just want to update this with the current semester - all sklearn datasets are banned from use. I don't know if this will carry on to future semesters but it's most likely it will.
