Very happy they're harmless reskins of pre-existing cards. I was very scared we'd have another Rick situation.

I do not watch three hour long videos that aren't by HBG. Long, engaging videos are a tough artform to master, doubly so if you're not playing a video game. I usually clock out by the thirty minute mark.

However, Upkeep, First Main Phase, and End Step triggers cannot be interacted with directly except for mechanics that flavorfully are forms of temporal manipulation. Maybe I could make a YouTube video about this :p

Nyx @pyrogoyf.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
To figure this out, though, you'd have to find a fixed measurement of time. Activated abilities, spells, and combat triggers are all things that could theoretically be looped infinitely and as such aren't a useful standard for measurement.

5-10 years, one hour, and half a year all at the same time.

I always heard that "lands" were more a representation of the mana and experience you have accrued throughout your journey, and you are calling on your memories of them to conjure spells. Also, exploring is a triggered ability and therefore must be shorter than a turn.

Vintage and Legacy have every set ever legal. Cards printed after Scourge are not legal in pre-modern.

Nyx @pyrogoyf.bsky.social · 27/02/2025
If it's too old to be legal in modern, it's premodern. If it's released in between 4ed and Scourge (and not p3k), you can play it.

Without a one mana reanimate spell I really do think the Reanimator archtype gets way more fair. I'm more comfortable with a t2 5/5 troll and no mana up than a t2 6/5 troll with one mana up.

Every way that matters, at least. I'll still run Alesha because I love trans women more than I love final fantasy, no matter how much those demographics overlap.

I've been running Zoanthrope over Ballista every day of the week because it feels like every deck has at least one Null Rod/Disruptor Fute in the sideboard! I've actually been running Amulet as my only energy card, with the occasional Galvanic Discharge if D&T or Tempo is getting too annoying.

Nyx @pyrogoyf.bsky.social · 17/02/2025
I'm skeptical about energy but if I can get the average MV down I think Amped Raptor would be a phenomenal value add. Thanks for sharing!! I'm trying out Dour-Port Mage as a one-of draw engine but I really want Imperial Recruiter to be playable :/

Nyx @pyrogoyf.bsky.social · 17/02/2025
On second thought, maybe the card's ability is conditionally active- the ability is only technically on the card once you reach max speed but that is only determined by when the card is on the battlefield? That'd probably be why Marvin could work but cauldron doesn't.
020
Nyx @pyrogoyf.bsky.social · 17/02/2025
I can't find any official rulings, but Max Speed is pretty weird. From what I understand, the ability is active once you reach Max Speed. Play Marvin with this guy on the battlefield, that should do the same thing. If it doesn't, one of 'ems a bug.

Let's be honest, there is no clear ruling as no Magic card actually does this. Although 107.3h states that "Normally, all instances of X on an object have the same value at any given time." I believe this is not a normal case and the two values are unlinked. As such, I think 107.3e is applicable.

Nyx @pyrogoyf.bsky.social · 11/02/2025
Thank you!
010
Nyx @pyrogoyf.bsky.social · 11/02/2025
Nope! I haven't judged in a while, but I believe these two instances of X are not linked- and an ability that instructs you to do something "x times" without an external definition for that X, you can name x as whatever you want. So yes, it is as brokenest as possible!

@moxfield.com, I'm having problems with my searches. Every time the page loads a large quantity of cards, the whole tab slows down. My gut is to say it's my computer, but I've never really had a problem with it before and I haven't done anything new. Are other people dealing with this?

This was the core argument and idea behind rule 0 before it got dumbed down to "you should talk to your table about what you expect from a game for two hours before playing." I liked it.
