Re: brackets. I agree there should be a bracket 3.5. Btw let 1 only exists to encourage people to buy wizards’ pre-cons to jump into the game but that bracket should be downgraded/sidegraded to Bracket K (for kindergarten)

Bracket 1 is home crafted decks with zero game changers or land destruction and less than 4 tutors of any type including green land ramp. That means only 4 land ramp cards for green.

Bracket 2 should be what bracket 3 is

Bracket 3 should be what is now commonly called 3.5 where it’s more gearing for the win, more tutors and up to 5 game changers

Bracket 4 would stay the same since there are no limits

And bracket 5 is cEDH

Additionally they should scrap game changers and brackets for a points system like Canadian Highlander, and lower brackets can have a points maximum.

I think they're both replacement effects so no
>>
>>97783152
Nah, so basically it's one act to create the tokens and these are called replacement effects.
To give an example
>Go to create a Blood Token
>Stridehangar sees it and changes the action to creating a Thopter and a Blood
>Donnie sees it and changes it to Blood, Thopter, and Mutagen
They don't go back and see it again because it can only be affected by each replacement once.

>>97782044
If you were a jujutsu sorcerer, what spell represents your domain expansion?
>>
>>97783152
Both of these cards have replacement effects, which you can identify by the "If [event] would happen, [modified event] happens instead" wording. They are not triggered abilities (which would start with "When," "Whenever," or "At").
Under Magic: The Gathering rules (specifically Rule 614.5), a replacement effect gets only one opportunity to alter a specific event. They cannot continuously loop or "see" the new tokens to re-apply themselves.
Here is how the interaction actually plays out:
Let's say a spell or ability causes you to create a normal token (like a 1/1 Goblin).
Donatello, the Brains applies its replacement effect: Instead of just a Goblin, you create a Goblin plus a Mutagen token.
Because a Mutagen is an artifact token, the event is now creating an artifact. Stridehangar Automaton applies its replacement effect: Instead of a Goblin and a Mutagen, you create a Goblin, a Mutagen, plus a 1/1 Thopter token.
Both cards have now applied their replacement effect to this single token-creation event. The chain stops.
You get a solid burst of value out of a single token drop, but the game rules strictly prevent replacement effects from infinitely feeding into each other.

He's cute. I don't know why he brought an elf, she seems to be stealing the focus of the image, but she's not too bad to look at either. Would feed both of them a rat.

>>97783230
First, explain the concept of a "domain expansion" to me. To my mind playing a new land is expanding your domain but I sincerely doubt some battle shonen is going to work like that.

Domain Expansion is the ultimate, high-risk, and supreme technique in Jujutsu Kaisen that creates a separate, enclosed space (barrier) from the user's innate mental landscape. It guarantees that all cursed technique attacks within it land with 100% accuracy, providing a massive tactical advantage that generally guarantees victory against opponents.

>>
>>97783269
I'm curious, what makes it high-risk? It seems like making all your moves (I'm assuming "cursed technique" is the equivalent of "jutsu" or "ki technique") guaranteed hits is a pretty one sided interaction.
>>
>>97783312

>Arc raiders's artstyle is extremely woke and queer.
In what respect? Did you mean to type Marathon?
>>
>>97782932
I think the only one where it's heavily implied is literally just a joke one where a Lady Trainer Class character in one of the battle buildings says she used to be a Black Belt (which I think at the time was an all male Trainer Class) so it's more like Poison than it is anything else.

>>97783328
It requires a massive amount of cursed energy (mana) and can be countered with techniques like Hollow Wicker Basket or Simple Domain from the new shadow school. Basically if you use it and don't manage to get the W, you're manaless and exhausted for the rest of the fight.

I'm trying to build a modern EDH deck with this cutie. My last deck was a Feather deck but everything else is as old as dirt and gimmicky (Blue Braids politics, G/W Selvala Hatebears, U/W Hannah voltron, B/W Teysa stax and toolbox, and G/R Xenagod 'this deck is actually about fling not just fatties') what kind of stuff can I do with Giada that isn't just slamming down angels until I scoop because angel tribal doesn't have any support as far as I know. I'm already thinking about tossing Momo for more cost reduction and the 2 1 drop angels because it's pretty lame not really doing much in the early game other than trying to ramp up. I'm leaning towards maybe low to the ground control with stuff like Thalia. For reference the last time I looked at cards was the first Theros Block

for commander you can just play blue sun zenith, which still has the capability to kill someone and can draw you more cards at lower mana values.

mathemagics could be played in some "x cost matters" deck but that's about it.

"the right" according the leftists is everyone who isn't a leftist. leftists only exist as long as old money overlords sponsor them. they are a force deployed against actual working class protests to keep them down - see the nazi rethorik used by all leftist propaganda outlets and antifa during the covid lockdowns to justify attacking protesting workers in the streets, or the marches "against right" formed every time an invader kills children. hell, currently in germany, there is a scandal were several muslim invaders raped a 14yo in a youth center, and the leftist leaders did not go to the police because they were afraid that people might see muslim pigs in a negative light because of it. I'm not kidding, look up Jugendzentrum Wutzkyallee. the leftist leader of the youth center is still in her position btw, because the current argument is "firing her is too complicated".

It would be yeah, but I think WoTC considers Backgrounds a "Draft" mechanic so they wouldn't put it into anything that wasn't another commander draft set, which disappoints me greatly because backgrounds are really cool and solve a big problem with the Partner mechanic.

>>97785348
Letting you partner with any legendary equipment would be cool to print on a specific commander, but I also wish we'd get more Partner-style cards with other card types. Like a Creature that Partners with an Artifact or a Planeswalker that partners with a creature, etc. Feels like wasted space to not explore and we've already tested the waters for something like that with Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar tutoring the book out of the deck on ETB, which is functionally worse partner because you can permanently kill the book which is functionally the other half of the card.
The line between "Tutors on ETB" versus "Partners with" is kind of thin, and I think there's a lot of merit to exploring that kind of space since the downside of being able to partner with an equipment or enchantment is that you can't toolbox the same way "ETB dig for an equipment" but with the upside of well, having that thing be recurable without any extra hoops to jump through.

Doors of Durin (four color, he's an elf)
Interesting or I don't think there's a commander that does this sort of thing in these colors:
Vivien's Arkbow/Instrument of the Bards (BUG creatures, mostly value), Kayla's Music Box (esper cast from exile), Rammas Echor (esper exalted), Circle of Loyalty/Heroes Podium (esper/dimir legend tribal)
Funniest:
Gleemax, Aetherspark, Embercleave, Skullspore Nexus
Dumb value slop:
Legacy Weapon/Timeless Lotus/any other five color identity artifact, any of the legendary mana rocks, Gonti's Heart/Aetherworks Marvel, Jitte, Mindslaver (wants to be funny, won't be), Tamiyo's Journal, Bidet of Thassa
Obvious choice:
Excalibur, Hammer of Nazahn, Caduceus, most equipment
Nonbo:
the Caverns transforming legendary artifacts
War crime:
The Celestus
Unscythe:
Unscythe, also Embercleave

>>97785732
commissioning a new piece or doing what >>97785738 said is probably cheaper than giving a real bonus/raise to the employee. these cards can be sold for exuberant amounts of money down the line by the recipient. it's more potential money for the employee at a lower cost to the company.

Is stax ok in b3? Seems a little too gay for it. Not that it couldn’t be stopped but I played one dude who had a gaddock and the next lobby he joins with some other blue stax. He quit when I used reprieve to send back whatever that stupid planeswalker is that doesn’t let people search libraries

Now I’m all for shutting down green land ramp and think it needs to be checked big time and it’s worse than general tutoring but that wasn’t quite appropriate for a bracket 3 room. So he quit.

Then the next player and I both played demonic tutors and along with the other player who was a magic OG from 93 had a great game.

But I usually just see stax in b4 games which I can shut down with counterspells and so on but lower levels I play white/black tribal stuff it’s more chill mode

How do you best hose 1. green land ramping every turn (with land tutors) and 2, stax? In lower brackets? I run acid rain in b4 and other stuff and again counterspells. But these 2 things seem to get free reign in bracket 3 for now

>>97786359
the issue with stax is that you draw the ire of the board only to "not lose"; compare to cedh rogsi where you also draw the ire of the pod but that's because you threaten to win t1-t2, the same logic applies to the lower brackets and so you're better off just comboing off instead of grieifing the pod for the sake of it
>How do you best hose
>1. green land ramping every turn (with land tutors)
i recommend not playing to the board (because ramp will beat you there in sheer size) which means you go burn/combo off
>2. stax?
you don't really have to think about it because your other 2 opponents will help you beat stax
>>
>>97786359
>Is stax ok in b3
Nah, B3 is like the new power level 7, most things go. The way you approach stax is the same though, identify stax player then rally the 2 other players and knock out the stax player because they are playing on a different axiom than the three of you.

And Elesh Norn could just drive an oil spike in it before it gets near her, because by that logic Norn can also fight four lions at once.
Again. The creatures/walkers on the cards are NOT the actual creature. Just a very crude reflection of what you remember.

it's a retarded argument on your part too since if you argue that she's 1-for-1 represented in the card then that 1/1 snake dies as soon as it gets near her automatically.

I was it Gathering Dark or one of the other Ice Age cycle books with Jodah that explained the in-universe concept of summoning Legends and how they're like animated story fragments brought to life by Mama and memory and not actually the real creature? That was always a cool concept and I wish they still took the time to try to narratively explain game concepts and mechanics. Like as I recall that series also explained what discard effects and manaburn actually feel like for mages to experience, as well as tutors and mill and token creature creation.

They reinforced that kind of take in 1999 with Loran's Smile, which got republished online in 2014 on the WotC website, where they also clarified how the different colors of mana manifest into different creatures (or enchantments, in blue's case there). It's a bittersweet and good story, so I'd give it a read.
The thing that I want to know is how the game explains Entomb-like effects. For creature-only ones, I can sort-of see it as just creating a dead body. Defeats the point of necromancy, but it's forgivable given everything else. What I don't get is how that works for non-permanent cards. Hell, Surveil annoys me for a similar reason.

The graveyard are lingering traces of past conflicts here within the battlefield you are facing your foe on.

Most powerful decks run a lot of free spells and spells under 3 mana. Trinisphere is the kind of card that gets better the stronger your opponents are, but it's not so good at casual tables because the average converted mana cost is much higher there.

kek, that makes me glad that my friends completely ignore the bracket system and just run whatever cards they like. a gamechanger here, some mld there. none of their decks is capable of closing a game even on t6. I think I'm the only one who is building bracket 3 decks using bracket 2 rules.

Then it’s not bracket 2? That’s bracket 4.

Illiterate retards.

Guess what? If you run nothing but value engines, that deck is stronger than if it didn’t have any interaction, if no one in the game runs removal.

This shit just pisses me off now, I had a guy crash out because of picrel removing lumra from his deck t1, and he had scapeshift, harrow, amulet of vigor etc. but ‘no interaction’ and insisted it was a weaker deck because it had no removal or protection. Then kvetched that hearthhull was removed 4 times while he had icetill, tannuk and omnath out
>>

unfortunately, commander is now the getting-on-point for new players, so it's entirely likely they have no idea how to play.

So I'm seeing mixed responses on this.
>have light paws
>cast Spectra Ward and attach to her
>light paws ability activates
So I'm seeing some people claiming you CAN attach auras to her with her ability, but you CANNOT cast auras and attach them to her. So basically if you cast an aura and attach it to another creature, the light paws ability still activates and can still search for an apply an aura to her.

Is this correct or not?
>>

>>97787462
This is my regular pod, except instead of "all playing 3's" they all have worse than precon level decks filled with gamechangers or MLD cause "bloodmoon is funny" that I can beat with unmodified precons.

>>
>Precon Terra with MonoB Sephiroth as a secret commander in the deck
Yay or nay?
>>
>>97787464
You could search up the aura and attach it (protection prevents targeting, Light-Paws ability doesn't target), BUT the aura would immediately fall off and go into the graveyard as protection also makes auras fall off (I suppose you could grab a colorless aura if there is one).
>>
>>97787491
What's a secret commander
>>
>>97787495
Uh, ignore the bit about auras falling off, Spectra Ward has a clause to counter that, gotcha.
>>
>>97787502
A card in the 99 that you make an effort to specifically find and play most games.
In this case, it would be through search/tutor effects.
>>
>>97787464
>protection from colors, this effect doesn't remove auras
Yes, Light-paws' ability does not target and the aura it grabs does not target. If you cast one, it would need a target and so cannot target light-paws.
Spectra ward specifically even has a different reminder text for its version of protection that excludes 'cannot be enchanted', the issue is getting around the targeting, which Light-paws does. If there was another effect like Ardenn that didn't target, it would also work; but I can't find one.
>>
>>
>>97787502
the commander you're actually building the deck around but can't be in the command zone for some reason (usually because you want to play some wider color combo)
so his suggestion is a deck that technically has terra as the commander, but actually revolves around sephiroth. presumably so he can flip sephiroth, kill him, then reanimate him; and maybe also have access to a bunch of other tech in WBR that he wouldn't in mono-black.

Commander becoming the default format (and thus what most players are on-ramped into when getting into the game) has had disastrous consequences for the average quality of players in general. Someone who has played a dozen games of constructed or limited probably has a better grasp of the rules than someone who has played 100 games of commander.

>>97787344
>One player does this insane mull where they look at ten cards and "bottom three", not shuffle, just puts them on the bottom.
That's the Houstan mulligan, and it's the most patrician type of mulligan. At a casual game it allows pretty much everyone to have a playable hand and not get mana screwed or flooded, which leads to a more balanced game.
>>
>>97787615
You don't need some fancy mulligan. The normal mulligan rules are good enough. It is just players are fucking bad at keeping playable hands and deck building. I've seen players mull over and over again for a "good hand". There is being a fucking casual game and then there is being someone who disregards the rules of the game.
>>
>>97787615
it's the mulligan designed for and by the most greedy of deckbuilders
>>
>>97787626
Sometimes, even if you have the most optimal deck and manabase count, you will get flooded or screwed. When playing a game with 4 others for potentially 1-2 hours, why have someone who has a bad hand keep it, or mull down where they are at a disadvantage? It's a casual format after all. Let everyone have at least a decent full hand and play. This is what that mulligan is for.

There's a guy at my club, he's fairly new but he's probably like a year in or so, and he still can't do basic game actions properly. Unless there are two people watching him like fucking hawks, he will miss half his triggers, his board is a mess because he can't organize it properly, and you better fucking watch his hand if he ever searches his library, because it's a fifty-fifty that he'll shuffle his hand in there somehow, or randomly add three cards from the library to it. He also goes onto his phone or goes to look at other tables when it's not his turn, and generally just never pays any attention at all to anything going on around him, I've had to tell him three times not to ping me in the club group chat (he mass pings people when checking to see who's going to show up). His presence at the club is actively discouraging me from going to mtg nights a lot of the time.
Thanks for reading my venting rant.
>>
>>97787796

>>97787344
That's just a shit player group problem. Not exactly a format one.
>>
>>97786359
I think stax is perfectly fine in b3 generally speaking. It is the bracket where you're supposed to win at turn 6 or 7 already, just not with combo. But conversely that means you'd need to assemble quite a lot of value or threats on your board in those turns. So likewise you should also have the means to play around stax or kill stax pieces.
You can make arguments against certain cards that potentially lock the game too much like stasis, but generally I rather punish overly greedy decks than not.

>>
>>97787121
X adds to a cmc/mv after being defined. So for something like Fireball (XR), define X as 1 for example. X being 1 makes it a 2cmc/mv spell. From there, it's treated as normal for the Trinosphere effect, and gets 1 added to the total cost (total cost modifiers are added after everything, that's also why Rakdos, Lord of Riots can reduce the cost of X spells).

TL;DR: Under 3 cost after X? Pay until 3.

Houston mulligan sounds way worse than the current London mulligan we use, am I crazy?

>>97789701
>Go to lgs
>Draw 7
>Want to mulligan? Set the hand aside and draw 7 more, repeat until you have a hand you want to keep and shuffle the pile you set aside and put them on the bottom
Worst I've ever seen

>>
>>97791519
Was it? Good, it was really fucking shit.
>>
>>97791524
It was significantly faster. That was the positive.
>guy has to mulligan to 4
>we have to wait while he shuffles,asks us to cut, and then draws his hand like 4 fucking times
>>
I once played with a group that didn't allow mulligans but before you shuffled you tutored out 3-5 lands, your choice, and put them in your hand. The only rule was the lands couldn't have any abilities outside of tapping for 1 mana. So basically just basics or shitty taplands.
Then you'd draw up to 7.

Do you feel like alternate versions of cards should have appropriate creature types?

funny story back in the day when wotc still archived their articles
there was this article from Matt Cavotta "Dwarfosis" a long time ago that explained their difficulty of making 'realistic' dwarves, and why dwarves were so were pre-kaladesh
They would start with a classic-style dwarf then ask themselves questions like
>dwarves live in tunnels where you can't swing an axe, so they have to be using spears
>not much food underground so they will be more gaunt less chubby
>they would have bigger more pronounced ears to hear danger in the dark
>they would have bad posture from hunching due to low ceilings all the time
>they would have bigger noses to smell gas pockets
and then they realized they have a classic-style goblin instead
funny how they were tripping themselves over realism for one reason and now are tripping over themselves for realism for a more retarded reason
