Except Karakas was part of a judge packet. Also, a lot of decks that run Karakas only NEED 1 Karakas, not a playset. That is not the case with Force, where 3 is pretty much the minimum you're ever...

A quick scan of Judge Apps shows ~1100 judges L2 or above. Assuming it's 1 to each certifying judge (and not 1 per judge certified, which would be double or triple that number), that puts your cap...

Spells reslove in the order written, then the last step of resolution is for the spell to be put into the graveyard (unless otherwise directed). A creature with lethal damage dies when state-based...

That's why I said if the backwards card is the card registered on the sheet. Sorry if I wasn't clear. If it's not, then it's a clear deck/decklist mismatch. I was mostly responding to Quasi; it's...

If the backwards card is registered on your sheet as the actual card, I'm going to have you turn it around and continue playing. Note that I would suggest that you do it under table level to avoid...

It's a replacement effect. The way replacement effects work is the next time X would happen, Y happens instead. If you cannot fulfill the entire action, do as much as possible. If it simply said...

This. The trigger policy is that a trigger is not missed until a player demonstrates that they were not aware of it. If your oppnent tries to skip an upkeep trigger by moving through their draw...

This is something I'm bad about. If I'm deep in thought, I have a tendency to say 'ok', simply acknowledging that my opponent is putting something on the stack. I really need to get better about...

Just to clear up what seems to be a fairly common misconception. A judge doesn't decide to give a warning, or a game loss, or a match loss or a DQ for an infraction. There are set infractions. An...

To reiterate what other posters have said, it is always the Head Judge's discretion on what alters to allow and/or disallow. I've had alters that I've used at several tournaments disallowed at...

Very simple. It would not be a GL because it would be a DQ for Cheating. The player has been informed that they cannot circumvent Chalice by just "doing stuff really fast". They took an illegal...

Saturday, at the TCG 50K, I didn't hand out a single penalty. First time in my life that has ever happened. If we handed out GLs for every infraction, upgrade path would have us DQing dozens of...

Compare it to Jund or BUG. You have less incremental advantage, you don't match up well against DRS, you have less disruption (and worse disruption, as discard is better than taxing counters right...

Reid's deck was tuned the way Nassif's sideboard was tuned in Chicago a few years back. Deck is a pile, Duke just wins.

The initial point he made was that collectible is not the same as valuable. So you bold 1/4 of the definition and think that because that matches what you say, that the whole thing does. I can't...

That's not a drop that makes a difference to the average player, however. It makes a difference to you. It makes a difference to the people who fancy themselves as traders. But to someone like me,...

This.

Before anyone jumps into bitch about how this is just whining from a long-time player who wants free wins vs. nubs because of rules complexity, let me point out that rules complexity is the...

The no basic land has been fine. Running basics means you can dodge Wasteland early but it's hard to set up as you need the G on turn 1 for 1-drops and you want as much R as possible in the mid...

But all other factors aren't equal. Dontbiteitholmes@ebay is not Starcitygames. I don't know when you're going to ship my Underground Sea. I don't know how thoroughly you've examined the card to...

You're running a Tinker deck. That means you're running an Ancient Tomb deck. That means you're running a deck that 40% of the time has Chalice of the Void in its opening hand. There is a very...

You're right. You do have to sell under SCG prices. It's not, however, a matter of market, it's a matter of name. It's less like milk and more like cars. A brand new $40,000 car can be picked up...

Haha, beat me to it.

Wizards doesn't have any obligation to me. But the point I was contesting was the idea that I have some moral obligation not to support someone fucking them over. I don't owe shit to Wizards...

How to 0-3 drop like a baller:

Round 1: I'm not sure what my opponent is on, but given that we're playing in Madison, it's a fairly safe bet that it's combo. 7 cards is 4 lands, no 1-drops. We...

It's not necessarily that it's not main deck worthy, it's just that it's not an exciting card. It's a workhorse card. It's going to see play in the format but it's not a card that anyone gets...
