    Re: MTG Arena

    What annoys me the most is the inconsistency of the phase auto-passing.
    On MODO you set up your stops, and after some time, you get the flow of it and get to play without thinking too much.

    Lava Dart

    You either go all-in or don't go at all. Playing a modern deck in Legacy, with a somewhat underwhelming value creature, seems like a losing proposition.

    1-land Belcher is the only deck that you could even start to argue that the 2 life doesn't matter.

    All they need to do is add a dusting mechanic that adds a % to your vault. Done.
    Magic has too many crappy rares and mythics, allowing you to dust only your fifth copy of a cards is just greedy.

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Yeah, but the cards you mentioned generate little to no card advantage.

    Goblin Lore is neutral when cast once, if you copy it, it generates +1 CA.
    Faithless Looting never generates any CA, only...

    It does. Ruling from Twincast.

    1/10/2009 If the spell Twincast copies has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Earthquake does), the copy has the same value of X.

    My small contribuition is that you should use more iconic cards when talking about the archetypes in page 35 and 36.

    Re: [SCD] Earthcraft decklist challenge

    IMO the deck should start with:

    4x Earthcraft
    4x Squirrels Nest
    4x Blood Moon
    4x Utopia Sprawl/Wild Growth

    Turn 2 Blood Moon beats a lot of decks or gets you enough time to set you combo...

    Re: Oops, All Gideons!

    My gut reaction is to move the 3-spheres to the sideboard and replace the Mox Diamond + lands with Chrome Mox + white cards. You can have multiple Gideons out, but you can only have 1 of each. Just...

    Re: Who's using Weathered Wayfarer?

    Having less lands than the opponent is actually the easiest part. Just Daze something or activate his ability while your Wasteland/Fetchland trigger is on the stack.

    Re: Amonkhet, a new Plane for the next Block

    The translation is spot on. But WTH is going on the bottom right of the card? It's almost like it's cut with a bevel?

    Overall it looks pretty horrible. They just keep repeating the same thing...

    It doesn't trigger when you cast it.


    Seems like win more. But Cloudstone Curio seemed like win more too. And so did Jeskai Ascendency.

    Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast is a control card. Why are you building a combo deck around a control card?

    Re: Defense of the Heart Combo (DIII)

    Play Vendillion Clique instead of the Jaces. They play defense a little bit and can help you both get counters out of the opponents hand and putting your big dudes back into your deck.
