@Maringam @Corwinnn Necro for small correction: Eliminate 'you control' from the second-to-last sentence. No player controls anything in any graveyard, and it already has to be from your graveyard. (I appologize if I'm over-stepping my boundaries.)
-
@Aasehdd Good chance of a lot of those going that way.
-
@milanaarz @JBYT_LeoadedTommy @Damnation I think he left that to say 'Hey, look. Wizards already took a swing at that.' But some explanation beyond an emote would help to solidify my hypothesis.

@Keranos Go to the page of the card you want to link. Copy and paste the url from your browser's navigation bar.

I had been waiting for inspiration to strike on how to transform this art into a Divination-like spell with an original twist. What I ended up with was significantly different. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/delve-through-dream-3#.VXqNa0ZLDd4

Well, there's one weak point in my naming conventions. With this system, if you change a card's type (most often instant <-> sorcery), the name has to change. Maybe just taking after the practice Wizards uses would be better. That would be pul…

------------------- MemU01S 2UU Sorcery (U) Put target nonland permanent on top of its owner's library. Draw a card. {This was restrained to sorcery to maintain a reasonable mana cost. It's not terribly original; I just wanted to see where the ba…

I must admit that I was unaware that those cards were part of a cycle (though I suspected that they might be and didn't follow up on researching the matter). MemB02C (read: 'bad Nihilith') is close enough to Nihilith that it doesn't warrant further…
-
I recognize the same distinction in terminology. I'm not sure if all of the original hosts did, though. I'm really not familiar with the vast majority of items on our massive list. We should use our best judgement based on the descriptions provided …
-
@Tomigon @Corwinnn Explanation makes sense to me. Seems reasonable. Agree that turnaround for re-opened challenges should be short.
-
------------------- MemB01C 3B Creature -- Horror (R) ~'s power and toughness are each equal to the number of -1/-1 counters among creatures. Suspend X -- XB. X can't be 0. Whenever a time counter is removed from ~ while it's exiled, put a -1/-1 c…

@FallOutBoy How many other Hydras do you have? Are there any others that you like as much? Primordial Hydra in particular. (As a side note, Heroes' Bane is one of those cards whose regular art I like better than the promo, but enjoy having a dated…
-
These are all good insight, everyone. I feel like the mechanic would probably end up being pretty parasitic to the game. It would be hard to work it into something fun. It would only do things in the presence of counter shenanigans of some kind, an…

Gimme those full-art lands. @AustinSmith At least the defenders won on Innistrad. I was about to flip some tables if that place got overrun after what they did to Mirrodin. I'm pulling for Zendikar in this one. (Yes, Zendikar itself is a player. …

@EatSleepTap One of my first experiences with Magic was playing the Tenth Edition Molimo, Maro Sorcerer starter deck against the Blue Tenth Edition starter deck with an employee at the local game store. Mono-Green Midrange versus Mono-Blue Control…

'-Me' is still the best signature. I don't know how I'd ever know who was posting without it. The innovation of squirrels never ceases to amaze me-- -- It's really quite nuts.

(Hopefully) fixed links from the topic post: Form of the Dragon http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=178016 MaRo's Article ("Top Down and Goal"): http://archive.wizards.com/Magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr7…

@Damnation You're correct that it doesn't follow the precedent for Tempting Offer. I like what's been done with it, though. Maybe we should coin a different term that functions like Tempting Offer, but doesn't have to be the exact same effect-- just…

Beeswax is pretty knowledgeable on a lot of things, and has been contributing to the community for far longer than I have. I wouldn't want to downplay. A more humorous title could be along the lines of "Curator of Text-Walls" or "Rules Lawyer" ;D
-
@nogalbink @NILgravity Also, it doesn't apply in this case, but you could have an enchantment creature with the Monk creature type.
-
@Suicidal_Deity Edit: I just googled the problem, and there is an example presented in the Comp rules Direct Quote: "704.7. If a state-based action results in a permanent leaving the battlefield at the same time other state-based actions were perfo…
-
@Suicidal_Deity Neither state-based action is 'taking precedence'. They do both happen at once. The GM is moving to the Graveyard in the exact same instant that the counters are cancelling. Then Undying triggers once all SBA's have gone through bec…
-
@Suicidal Deity I'd probably leave out the cheesy instant win cards if I could and just play with my favorite dragons. And yes, I just looked it up and it is Assault Formation. Defender deck seems interesting. Now, if only I could run Wall of Denia…
-
@Beeswax @Damnation As I understand it, all state-based actions are performed at once. Also, no player controls them (704.2) and therefore no one would be able to choose an order for them. You referenced (603.3) which refers to triggered abilities.…
-
@Beeswax I feel that the presented article is highly biased, with a sample size of 1 individual. @Suicidal_Deity Well said, sir. @ Corwinn Ice Cream Cake? @Looverse Sounds like something I've got to try. @All Can this thread also be used as a c…
-
Another example of a puzzle (And I'll leave this one unsolved in case anyone wants to take a crack at it). Geralf's Messenger is on the battlefield. It's Undying has previously triggered, so it has a +1/+1 counter on it. (It is a 4/3 black Zombie c…
-
Yeah, I can get pretty OCD about templating and wording. I try to keep quiet about minor inconsistencies, but I tend to say something if the functionality of the card is fundamentally flawed, especially if I'm otherwise interested in what the card i…
-
@Looverse .... that's absolutely diabolical. When her controller loses the game, she gets returned to her owner's graveyard, which counts as dying. And because you control Endless Whispers, you can't get stuck with her yourself. I would love to h…
-
@Suicidal_Deity I can see the merit in that argument. I was seeing it as sort of an 'extra tier' above Featured Cards. What would essentially happen is that it would become a contest between the cards which featured in a given month, as those alway…
-
So if I drop by these threads, and decide to give some of the art a whirl, is it going to irritate anyone that we will then have multiple cards with the same art? Will I be stepping on people's toes? I'm guessing no, as our "Forwards" Art Challenge…
