    With the newest iteration of Phasing from M10, how exactly does it interact with Unearth?

    For instance, Teferi's Veil and Hellspark Elemental.

    I'm disappointed that the Doubling Season isn't in the old card frame, like the DCI Bob and SoFI were.

    Quote from Gatherer »
    If you have multiple creatures with kinship abilities, each triggers and resolves separately. You'll look at the same card for each one, unless you have some method of shuffling your library or moving that card to a different zone.


    Pretty simple.

    Eureka. Avenger of Zendikar. Various lands.

    I'm aware that nothing will trigger until Eureka has resolved; however, I'm curious if the order permanents are put onto the battlefield is relevant or not. Does the order matter? Will I have to put Avenger in first for him to "see" the lands entering the battlefield? Or will Eureka actually put everything onto the battlefield at the same time?

  • posted a message on [ROE] WoTC official previews 4-7! Wall of Omens, TukTuk
    Quote from Goryus
    The wall makes me sad. White already has:

    - the best weenies,
    - the best fatties,
    - the best creature removal
    - the best board sweepers,
    - the best artifact and enchantment destruction (and hey, planeswalker destruction too!),



    White has always been about efficient creatures - at cheaper costs, White's dudes are better than anyone else's.

    BSA is an anomaly, a hyper-efficient creature that I highly doubt is indicative of white's future 5-drops.

    White has always had great spot-removal, though it usually involves trading resources (dude for life, dude for land, dude for dude), or has extremely specific targets. It lacks the pure destruction of black removal, and the versatility of red removal.

    No argument to board sweepers, though black has had its fair share of excellent cards in the category.

    White has actually been more focused on enchantment removal the past few years (a few exceptions here or there, of course). Red has been getting more artifact removal, and green is becoming the color best at destroying either permanent type.


    ...not to mention great defenders, close to the only playable life gain, tons and tons of interactions with equipments, auras, tribal themes, and acess to everything else under the sun.


    Now I think you're just digging for excuses to ***** about white. Are you really concerned with white's mastery of the aura?


    Did they really need a card that fit squarely into green's color pie, might have made sense in blue, but makes absolutely none in white? Sheesh. They printed white direct damage and a white counter spell not that long ago...seriously, why don't we just give up on having other colors at this point?


    The wall makes sense in white as an extremely efficient defender - not to say it couldn't fit in another color.

    A bit off-topic: counterspells such as Mana Tithe and Lapse of Certainty are pretty flavorful, since white has strong "taxing" elements.

    You can still have him hit the graveyard if you really want... you'll just need a way for him to get exiled/returned from your graveyard...

    Relic of Progenitus lololol

    Without some way to create multiple ETB triggers, Wall of Omens is just a really efficient 2-drop. I hardly consider replacing oneself "card draw."

    I thought people WANTED control to get new tools... I guess what they really mean is MUC.

    Quote from TheIvorytowers »

    If you Sac both the Land and the enchantment, does the land react by bouncing to hand, or do they both die?


    I want to say since they go the graveyard at the same time, that the Zendikon will return the land. I know it would work that way if both were destroyed (Akroma's Vengeance).

    Quote from mxyzptlk »

    Let's say I have a reanimation deck that already runs Stifle due to Dreadnought and Phage being in there. I can Stifle the graveyard ability, right?


    Kozilek's graveyard ability does go on the stack, yes. Yixlid Jailer also keeps him from shuffling in Smile

    @njsnel: As far as I can tell, those cards don't care how many lands entered the battlefield under your control that turn - just that any amount greater than 0 did.

    Shouldn't the bog say "Exile" instead of "remove from the game?"

  • posted a message on Ghostfire in WWK/ROE?
    From this article on Daily MTG:

    After further research, we believe this chest contained crucial information about the Eye of Ugin, which many believe to be a relic hidden in the mountains of Akoum. Little is known about the mysterious Ugin. But by this time Anowon's quest for answers had become an obsession.


    The Eye of Ugin, of course, is mentioned on Ghostfire, which would indicate that either Worldwake (unlikely) or Rise of the Eldrazi (extremely likely) uses colorless spells as a mechanic.

    Thoughts?

    The storm copies are not cast, just put directly onto the stack.

  • posted a message on [Zen] How Can We Tell if a Zendikar Box is from the First Printing?
    Yes, but product is not short because WotC "short printed" the set. Product is not short because WotC is in financial trouble. Product is not shore because WotC is holding product back to artificially increase the value of MTG.

    WotC printed lots of this set. Demand for MTG over the past 18-24 has gone through the roof. This can be attributed to many different things. But, any current shortages a store is experiencing has nothing to do with WotC not printing lots.

    There is already a restock on the way and most distributors should begin seeing that wave around the 20th.
