I did. Long ago. We stopped doing it in 2017 I believe. After the drafting phase and deck construction I had each player write a short deck tech with explanation of what the deck does and how it wins + any additional cute comboes or whatever. Then I took a picture of it and uploaded all these...

Seems to me like you discard the drawn card in this scenario.

Correct! Here is the definition of dediduous in Magic (in my words): The oracle text is updated on all past cards with the mechanic. They will use these cards often but not in every set. We will probably see a full Standard cycle without the mechanic every now and then but every set has at...

I mean Magic has been trying to teach us to read more and more the last few years with increasing amounts of texts each expansion :P

Yes. Baneslayer Angel and Tarmogoyf also doesn’t have attacking ward. So it has to be the D&D dragon they mean.

Unless you think all creatures are ‘shields down’ when they are attacking then I think they mean the 5 drop that benefits from attacking. Not trying to sound spikey but I admit it might come off as a little harsh.

That’s a fourth card to the combo. But it doesn’t have to be in the hand when the combo goes off. The combo also requires opponent to have at least one non-ward, non-hexproof, non-shroud creature which of course is very likely.

This combo is like 90 % as cool with just the two first cards.

I can follow that morality compass. In cube you are responsible for the amount of fun the players have. Or at least partially responsible. When it comes to EDH you are not. Wizards are responsible here.

Why? Shamizy didn’t say locking out of all the available mana. Just locking out of mana. That sentence could be any amount of mana. No need for a perfect curve with several creatures per turn to lock your opponent out of one or more mana.

Pros and cons. Can’t hurt to have both so people can choose what they prefer. We see time and time again that people ask on this website for help with Scryfall search. Maybe having a smaller database of what we more often need than Commander, Standard or Legacy players could be useful.

@Onderzeeboot @Jason Waddell Thank you for your response. As I wrote I was specifically interesting in a list in this website written by our users with search tips specifically good for users on this website. To elaborate. One of the upsides of having the tips written on this website by our...

@LadyMapi @Onderzeeboot Is it possible you could write all the best tooltips for Scryfall searches that is related to Riptide giving in a thread on this website so the rest of us can enjoy your useful wisdom?

But exile only messes with that if you run any sort of reanimator strategies.

Yeah that’s nice. It’s such a minor difference unless you run blink. But it also feels weird that exile doesn’t prevent it from it’s triggered ability. It is one of the things exile is suppose to prevent.

I have never heard or experienced this. But it could be true of course. The data I have come from my own personal experience in my local game store so it isn’t an indisputable fact. I remember it was a house from literally day 1 with the angel.

My favorite is Biogenic Ooze But I also appreciate the number of lines of text on Thragtusk although it is strange it has an ‘leave the battlefield’ and not ‘dies’. It was printed like this to be a house in Standard with Restoration Angel but it feels weird many years later.

“Because I didn’t think of it” seems like a very fair answer to most critical questions.

Yeah it seems like a fair cost for a mostly singleton cube. Obviously it would be great in Legacy and other formats because they can include 4 copies and because they only include it if they have a perfect deck for it. In cube you might end up running it even with only a few good targets.
