You clearly don't understand the card or magic. Is English your second language?

so when you cast you declare X
because it says "you may pay" X energy you don't have to pay any energy,
if it said "if you paid energy" or "if you did" on the second part then everything would be fine, but it doesn't.

>>93205411
MtG rules are literal, and X is determined by payment in explicit instances. In this case, it isn't tied to a payment. You just choose X and work from there. It's poor wording for the intended effect doesn't provide an alternative effect for not paying what you declare for X.
>>
>>93205029
We weren't being schizos or trolling. We were being CORRECT.
>>
>>93205411
>107.3f Sometimes X appears in the text of a spell or ability but not in a mana cost, alternative cost, additional cost, or activation cost. If the value of X isn’t defined, the controller of the spell or ability chooses the value of X at the appropriate time (either as it’s put on the stack or as it resolves).
Wheel of Potential's X isn't any of those listed in the above rule, so you can just choose whatever the fuck you want.
THEN you decide if you want to pay it or not.
THEN you do the exile/draw of the card, regardless if you paid the energy or not.
This is how the cards works as written. It wasn't intentional, and Wizards has confirmed in was an error and will be given rewording errata to fix it.
>>
The funniest bit to me about Wheel of Potential was when MaRo was informed of the error, and instead of looking at the card, or doing even the simplest of google searches for any discussion about the error, he publicly went "duuuuurrr, what's wrong with it?"

>>93206716
Nagas have been part of a type mess for a while, since before the recent type changes some humanoid snake creatures were nagas, some were lamias, and some were just snakes, depending on when the creature was printed and from what plane it was from. Giving all them a unified typing at least makes it consistent and makes it easier to build a snake-man tribal deck when you aren't forced to choose between 3 different types of snake-men.

Generally with the type changes for animal-people they seem to be going with well-known mythological creatures like minotaurs retaining their own type (centaurs and kobolds too, but they're not quite the same, since if you removed centaurs' unique type you'd probably have to make them human horse instead of just horse and that'd be weird, and kobolds aren't really based on any one animal: DnD kobolds are mostly lizard but Japanese kobolds are dog-people and Warcraft kobolds are rats. Even MtG kobolds vary between them looking more reptilian or mammalian depending on the card), while MtG-specific animal races like viashino and leonin just having the animal type (leonin were already cats before, so making viashino lizards just makes them consistent with most MtG-specific animal-people). Naga are an except to that since they are a mythological creature, but they did have the aforementioned mess with two other snake-people types which people have been complaining for years, so I assume they finally found an excuse to actually fix that.

I always choose a specific artists and art that fits what my deck is trying to do.

>>93205406
My Phyrexian tribal deck uses the Phyrexian full-art land from ONE, and I kept the retro-border lands for the BRO precon. Other than that I don't really have a specific theme, other than wanting to avoid lands that clearly don't fit the theme, like using the Phyrexian lands in my other decks. I guess my Hakbal merfolk deck is sort of on theme as most of the creatures are either Ixalan or Zendicar merfolk and all the basic lands are either the LCI that came with the precon or Zendicar full art lands I had on hand.

How do you handle changing cast cards/attackers/defenders/targets/etc. after the fact in your play group?
Just had a 3 hour game where everyone tried optimizing their rounds and by the end everyone was extremely pissed off.

>>
>>93209979
>takesies backsies
That's what I'm talking about.
What's the limit? Like, if you have an exile creture card, and you cast it, but then realize there was a higher priority creature you could have exiled, is it okay to change targets?
In this game it was a constant switcheroo with "oh, I'm not attacking with these creatures if you're blocking with these" on top of the former target switcheroos.

>>93210023
For me personally, as long as the next game action hasn't happened then small takebacks are fine. Once they cast another spell or blockers are declared, it's locked in. If they're ahead, I'm even more strict.
>>
>>93210023
You don't allow it.
>>
>>93205163

>>
>>93210023
Maybe once a game is the limit for me. If you're just going to take back actions everything they could go wrong then you don't even want to play a game, not sure what they get out of it. The only kind I'm okay with is people rearranging their tapped mana, provided they haven't drawn new cards that turn yet. And for myself I allow none cause I'm a grownup and I should live with my mistakes, hate how infantilized most edh players are
>>
>>93205252
This is why we aren't yugioh. If you print shit wrong then that's what the fucking card does. We go by the wording and not "Well...CLEARLY THEY MEANT...." if it says it wrong then it's not wrong, you're wrong. The card trumps any "intentions" a designer had unless an errata is issued

Be careful with your wording.
>>
>>93210023
At our pods table accidentally targeting a hexproof/shrouded creature/permanent and switching targets is okay as long as it's not done constantly... but no casting take backs. Nor do we allow attack/block take backs after they've been declared. Missed triggers are lost if they are "may" abilities and missed that are not "may" triggers are allowed to be used only if it happens sparingly.

I don't like them either, something about the mana symbols being in the actual art is just fucked up to me. They're just represantations of the colors for us, the player, in the game. They're not in-world symbols that the characters use or whatever. Like they really didn't think about it at all. And yeah, it isn't even a land.

>>93210648
People can do that, a black blue deck can produce red from a mana confluence. Color identity rules for what you are describing matter more for deciding something like if kenrith is 5c or mono white. And the format is pretty broken already, the idea behind it is more about making thematic decks.
>>
>>93207111
The problem is that X can be set to any value you want, and the card doesn't actually check whether you paid energy or not. It lets you pay energy but doesn't check if you did. All other energy cards in the set are formatted differently.

It's obvious what the designers wanted the card to do, but they forgot the words "if you do". Those three words make all the difference.

I don't understand why everyone is so quick to defend WOTC when they make an obvious mistake.

When WOTC announced they'd change it they still are in denial anything is wrong. I just don't get it. It's gotta be actual brainwashing at this point. The mere concept that "big rich company " can make a mistake, as long as big rich company is "woke" of course, is unimaginable to them. Like just read the goddamn card, for real.

To stay within blue/green you have to utilize every single non-UG gate regardless of how shit. This also means you produce less on color mana.
It is objectively worse than just running more off color guild gates that can still produce one of your colors. The inability to do so does have a negative impact on the deck.

Wrong. Even ignoring turning things into lands, everything counters and copying lands, there are 11 gates in UB.

Also wrong. There is only one gate in UB that can't make colored mana. Not to mention the new gate guy that makes 2 mana of any color per gate.

Point of fact, the vast majority of mtg rules do not exist, they are just oracle rulings. They literally do not need to errata anything, nor even make any new rules, they could just slap it on oracle and call it a day.
It's more so the idea that any judge would make that ruling during a tournament. We just had a huge Modern tournament and no judge upheld the apparent "correct" reading. It's such a nothing of a problem being upheld by people who genuinely feel they need to prove this point, even though they are not even 100% correct.

Trying to convince the table to all agree to a draw because he is in a losing position to give him a better record for the tournament is just "politics" to him, insufferable.

A draw should be by board state resolution naturally or by reaching time, and in both situations a judge should need to confirm that there was no slow playing or that the draw was legit resolved before accepting the results.

A lot of people have trouble conceptualizing the difference between 0 and a nonvalue. To them, drawing a nonvalue of cards is exactly the same as drawing zero cards. And there's an exponentially larger number of people who have trouble *noticing* the distinction with it being tucked behind a "may" clause, they might understand it if it were explained in exactly the right way but they're capable of arguing for several minutes without seeing the distinction. You're turning this into a political thing in order to frame yourself as anti-corporate. I don't think you're doing it on purpose, I think you're doing it reflexively because you know you're right and you want your argument to sound stronger, but it's still a bad habit. Maybe you print all your cards and you haven't attended an official event in decades, I don't know, but for the purposes of this specific situation you're supporting the big woke corporation just as much as your friends are.

They've made some noteworthy woopsies in the last year or two, but people underestimate how much this sort of company can fuck up and still make money (just like they underestimate how easy it is for a small-but-successful company to get shuttered by corporate retard politics). It's also a bit of a cry wolf scenario, especially in the last decade with all the idpol shitters saying that woke goes broke. A lot of their recent moves look like cash-out moves, but it's not like they're going to die tomorrow or even next year, it's more like they're going to prioritize short-term profits even more and pay even less attention to the health of the hobby and then they'll see how many years they can ride that out before trying something else.

He intentionally reveals it, says "I COULD cast this, and if I do or not you dont know, so one of you COULD lose, but I wont tell you which player it will be, but if you all agree to a draw we all get at least 1 point instead of the winner getting 5 points and the rest of us getting 0."

Basically he wants the game to end in a draw, awarding himself and his opponents a more favorable score, and is intentionally trying to bluff his opponent's into going along with him, instead of playing the game out.

I play exclusively on TTS, and it works great. Theres a table in the workshop with button and shortcut function for most things, but its not fully automated so you have to play it like paper for the most part.

That's just it, most games aren't like that, even Magic wasn't always like that. "You know what they meant so move on with the game" is a normal part of playing games. The only reason you're used to tight legalistic wording is because that's the standard that Wizards of the Coast sets for themselves.

You could write a magic-like game where creatures "initiate", with lots of simple keyworded abilities that go of when you cast them and/or when they attack, it's intuitive enough if your game doesn't have too many other keywords. But for Magic: the Gathering that's a genuinely terrible idea. There will always be some abilities that trigger only on ETB and other abilities that trigger only on attack and what you're proposing is that enter-and-attack triggers should be worded completely different from either.
>>
>>93211625
won't any opponent just tap out before you can tap them out?
>>
>>93211657
Absolutely cryposting.
>>
>>93211608
>That's just it, most games aren't like that, even Magic wasn't always like that.
"most games" are not magic, they are irrelevant to the discussion. and magic is now.
>The only reason you're used to tight legalistic wording is because that's the standard that Wizards of the Coast sets for themselves.
and there is a reason they moved to that. because the game functions better for it, and allows for more competitive gameplay. there is no "vibes" or "oh you know what they meant." everything is clear cut. it is what allowed the game to flourish for so long.

i again ask: why can you not just admit wotc makes mistakes?
>>
>>93211645
Oh I see.
So the best current use is to give it flash and cast it at the start of a turn to force someone to immediately tap out?

>>93211660
I don’t really see the issue with key wording entering or attacking when they’re paired together in order to open up design space for more lines of text. I kind of think they’ll do it eventually despite your counterpoints.

>despite the game functioning much better when everyone knows and understands the rules
But again, that's the point. The game does NOT function better when you play with an autist who goes UHM ACTUALLY wheel of potential doesn't work! UMN ACTUALLY henzie doesn't work as written! Your pre-con is TRASH
Anyone with a brain can see how these cards are intended to work and it's only a matter of time before they receive errata.
Wotc should of course strive to have have no typos or rules errors on the cards, and no errata needed, but this is not a realistic expectation. It's not excusing wotc but this is a simple acceptance of what happens in card games

See >>93211195, that was my first post on the subject, you ignored it because it was reasonable and you were too busy cryposting.
Perhaps it would have made you feel better if I had explicitly "admitted" that Wizards of the Coast can make mistakes, but that's very silly, everyone knows that Wizards of the Coast can make mistakes.
>>
>>93211759
Stalling the game to force players to listen to your monologue while forcing them to verbally deny your offer for match fixing is the real problem here. People can draw in games because Wizard's would have tournament players intentionally slow play to time to force draws, because players are such gamey cheats.

Its stupid because he writes articles about the format and thinks this behavior is acceptable.

>>93211727
It's an issue because it makes the game harder to learn. New players will be inclined to think that initiate works differently from normal enter/attack triggers because, and there's no counterpoint in terms of simplifying the game or making it more elegant, the only upside is making more room for more words. Which, yea, is the direction that they're generally moving in.

That is quite a slippery slope.
The point is that the card literally works. THAT is the point. That has nothing to do with any other part here. If you want to say WotC is slipping, that's fine this is one of your bullet points for that. But standalone, this IS nothing.

Judges don't need to make calls based off the actual rules as seen with the whole wheel debacle being discussed in this thread. If he wanted to DQ him for "unsportsman like conduct" there's little he could do, especially if the head judge agrees. At that point he can just write angry tweets.

>>93211377
UB sets do need to clear a somewhat higher bar to be able to be profitable, though. I would not be surprised if ACR has some problems there. The most this really argues for, though, is that they WILL still keep making non-UB sets because they're just cheaper.

I'd give it like a 7% chance of "dying" in the next decade. I'd give it a 35% chance of being viewed as an unsuccessful game for a brief period of time and needing some sort of hype-reset maneuver (not an actual new edition, just a bunch of nothingburger stylistic changes which are discussed as if they were a new edition) in order to "save" it. They're in a position where they can fuck up catastrophically several times in a row and still make money, but they're also leaning into it pretty hard, trying consistently to spend less and make more and I think there's going to be some sort of minor crash when people get tired of commander.

I haven't read the comprehensive rules in like 10 years but I'm pretty sure the answer is "no", I think there's a specific rule saying that you can't reveal a card unless something lets you.

>>93211754
yeah, so i am right. >>93211741 if everyone understood the rules everyone would understand why those cards don't work and the game functions better for it. previously you fags who said there is nothing wrong with the card came out and said anyone who reads it the way it is written is illiterate, now you're just upset at "rules lawyers" because wotc has said it is worded wrong.
>>93211815
that post is not reasonable. nowhere is X defined. the rules text must define X. even if you think any reasonable person understands the intent, that doesn't matter. a few threads ago i even gave a potential correct wording (there are several ways you could do it), and you fags still cried that i was wrong and illiterate and that wotc was right. wotc has already admitted it is wrong. so now all you have is complaining about "rules lawyers," people who are actually doing good work by making sure someone is doing the job wotc isn't, for the betterment of the playerbase as a whole.
>>93211861
>The point is that the card literally works. THAT is the point.
it does not, wotc even admitted it does not work (except in digital, because it was coded correctly). even if a judge is expected to rule in favour of intent, that does not matter. that is not what this whole discussion is about, or what pointing out the flaw is about. you being so upset that anyone would ever even point out their mistake is insane.

It's an ad from ubsoft to remind people asscreed exists. Destiny 2 also just got an asscreed cross over and an ass effect cross over. It wouldn't surprise me if these were actually some sort of commission I can really think of any other reason these dead franchises would randomly get cross overs

Mass Effect makes sense since that franchise does well with actual merch sales.

I only go by the intent of cards which is why I tell people to suck my dick if the card was errata'd. The designer didn't intend the change so I will play as intended.

>>93212172

>>93212047
yeah, like i said. you made a rules infraction once, and now have an axe to grind against anyone who actually understand the rules or how they work. the fact that you are so intent on deriding anyone who points out a mistake is proof of that. this is not a game for "vibes." wotc should not be printing cards and expecting people to play it based off of "vibes." errata is best, but it is still worth complaining about, hopefully it is a signal to wotc they are fucking up. it's happened multiple times in the past few years, to the point we can expect at least 1-2 cards a year that require mechanical errata. this used to be a very rare occurance. the people who point out the mistakes and get wotc to errata/course correct are doing a service.

tabak has outright stated "it is an error and will be updated accordingly." it does not work within the confines of the rules, even if the judges are expected to rule in favour of intent.

why do you need wotc to be correct so bad, even when they've admitted it is wrong? or why do you need the "rules lawyers" to be wrong so bad? you are the one so intent on calling people illiterate rules lawyers even after wotc themselves have admitted it needs to be changed. where did the rules lawyer touch you?

precons are the most fun you will ever have before you learn about the most disgusting combos known to man.
making your own decks will soon be the only joy this game will give you.
I recommend to try building something very simple first, like mono red burn with a commander like Ojer Axonil. Can't get much more simple and straightforward than burn. If you prefer creatures, token creature decks are always braindead easy to build and pilot.

There's big discord servers where you can find a game any time of day.

As for TTS, it's about on par with playing in paper, in terms of convenience.
single button to untap everything, tutor basics easily, easily make copies of cards.
but harder to communicate big numbers of attackers and blockers.
Not as convenient as something that handles all the rules and doesn't let you make illegal plays like arena.

As for the people, it's hit and miss. A lot of over powered fags but the good games make up for it and you can make friends and only play with them.
>>
>>93213251
You don't have to nail it first go, iterating and refining is just as fun.
combos are gay, it's okay to have standards and stick to them.
