Sorry if I missed it somewhere but the forum search didn't help me find an answer. Can anyone help me figure out why I cannot load new decks in MWS. I just got a new computer and installed (which went fine) but when I try to use a deck in online play i get a "Load deck error: Cards not found in base" and have no idea what to do.
I've reinstalled, made a few decks but nothing works. Any help is much appreciated.
Hypothetical situation: I have some flashback cards in my graveyard (ie: Ancient Grudge, Coffin Purge and the like) and cast a Yawgmoth's Will. I'm pretty sure once I hardcast one of those cards they get exiled but what I would like to know is, since the stack is an "imaginary" zone ( I know, they all are) and the card is physically in the graveyard why can I not play it again for the flashback cost?
I'm assuming it is because You cannot play a spell while its on the stack but I can't find the ruling for it. Would someone please be so kind to point me in the right direction, thanks.
Casting is not the same as resolving. Anything that triggers on casting a spell does so immediately before your opponent has a choice whether or not to counter the spell.
You need to cast Mirrorweave before you attack since Annihilator only triggers when the creature attacks. Same reason why Eldrazi Conscription doesn't trigger when you fetch it with Sovereigns of Lost Alara: the creature has already attacked.
"Enters the Battlefield" and "As you cast" are completely different things. As you cast happens when you cast the spell regardless of it resolving and Enters the battlefield only happens when said permanent does so.
In a multiplayer game I had around 100 tokens courtesy of Verdant Force, dropped an Earthcraft and used Goblin Offensive to make many many tokens thanks to my 4x Mirari's Wake, dropped a Need for Speed that worked off my Fastbond (which didn't kill me thanks to my Soul Wardens, cast Overrun and copied it a few times with Reiterate. End result, including all other tokens and creatures was a swing dealing ~1,000,000,000 damage. They conceded and I took around 20 minutes to do the math
I absolutely loved Eldrazi Monument. When that card was spoiled for me so many thoughts wet through my mind on how agro was going to make a stand and stay in the forefront of standard for a little while longer.
Also, here's my goblin:
Blood-soaked Shrine 1R
Tribal Enchantment - Goblin
Whenever a Creature you control attacks you may pay R. If you do you may have that creature gain +2/+2, first strike or trample. If you do, flip a coin. If you lose, sacrifice that creature
"Even after years of watching themselves die, those goblins never learned the price of the shrines power"
Absolutely. The only problem with that is some pious people say, and truly mean, that the Bible's word is law. The sig, I assume, was aimed at those same people who say that and yet choose to ignore the less savory passages. It is rather understandable how a great many people of those faiths could be offended but as you said take a look at the passage's intention rather than just the words.
Now don't get me wrong, I was raised in a church-going environment since my grandfather is a Pastor, but even as a child I noticed these same inconsistencies with his sermons and the conversations he still has to this day with his older attendees. I'm not saying the idea of the sig was represented in a good fashion, but the idea will always be around and until people of said faiths can accept either one side of the argument or the other (either accepting the bible as outdated or adhering to the "word is law" belief structure) people will be offended by statements like that regardless of intent not because of any maliciousness intended but simply because it's what we were programmed to do. A good amount of us (children in the church) grew up, but some just grew old.
The unfortunate truth is that many people of faith (many, not all) are offended by anything that may be offensive rather than applying some amount of thought and deciding for themselves.
EDIT: Or maybe he was baiting people, only he really knows. Just trying to shed another point of view on the topic.
I'd just like to say that in no way does the OP's previous sig attack a religion but only those who wish to see only one side of it. The same can be said about many religions that contain such seemingly hypocritical passages when compared to current beliefs.
I can see how some devout people would take offense, but that only emphasizes the original point of the sig. If you're going to take offense because someone calls you out on a legit point about your belief system rather than speak to them about it then you yourself are only furthering the stereotype of religious hypocrisy.
Those lands are the only basics in my base which I got from links on this page. You think adding a core set again will add more?
Edit: I mean for the ones that are from that collection obviously. Plains and forest are ARE only for some reason.

I just dont know what to look for, thanks.
Did that, made a new deck and edited the old still not working. Does anyone know what that error means?

They all see each other. Step by step:
1 Halimar on field
Kick RoR
5 ETB
That's 30 triggers at 6 cards each since they each trigger 5 times (you just had 5 allies ETB)
Edited for card tags.
