My point is that if we didn't get eternalize we would have had embalm again instead of a new mechanic. There are no eternalize creatures that start bigger, as Chris stated, since it wouldn't make much sense lorewise, I guess.

If you mean Wizards running out of ideas, embalm represents regular mummification in Amonkhet set, while eternalize represents the undead that went under the process Nicol Bolas prepared to create a horde of elite zombie blue metallic warriors and thus are enhanced by the process (and become a...

For all of you who run Regal Behemoth... You now have a new dinosaur in your list! https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/rivals-ixalan-oracle-changes-2018-01-11

For me, every experiment and exploration of new ideas is welcome, and I'm not trying to stop you or anything like that, but just take into account that MTG card design very much takes into account that you will be missing land drops here and there.

In Hearthstone competitive decks, there are cards with costs 8 or 10. This is because they never fail a "land drop". In MTG, a cost of 6 is already quite high. The effects of never failing a land drop in MTG, even if it is with a tapped wastes at end of turn, could probably be much more...

Do it for their good, they'll never know..!

Oh, another thing why I think Magic is defense based: the attacker has much less info about the outcome. They send their creatures and the defender is who choses what fights what, and is also able to group defenders in order to have an advantage even with smaller/worse creatures. So, the...

Yes, 101 and 49 are our life totals, more because of Verdant Sun's Avatar than of Huatli. Sadly, our hero terribly lost that match. He could have had a chance if he had stolen a flyier to kill the planeswalker instead of a token, but he wanted to check if Entrancing melody worked for tokens...

EDIT: I actually shouldn't be posting this, so I will remove it now that you have seen it.

Bloodsoaked is better the first time you cast it, but then it has the same cost as the vampire. Raid may be easier to trigger, but it depends of the environment. I'm not saying they are equally powerful, but Bloodsoaked being better does not prevent the inclusion of the other.

Well, what is the payoff of Bloodsoaked Champion?

Ok, I saw that Highland Lake from Amonkhet and my mind crashed. The fate of Innistrad? With the Amonkhet expansion symbol? Whaaaat? But its collector number is 282/269, so I guess they just reprinted the Shadows Over Innistrad card in a Planeswalker Deck. Pretty weird, nonetheless.

Forerunner of the Empire says "you may". How much power if you don't let it die the first turn and cast another dinosaur (or polyraptor!) your following turn?

I developed an Android/Windows application to use with Urza, Academy Headmaster, the iconic MTG card! Since I don't want to upload an app that uses Wizards' resources to an official store, the download links are to Google Drive. Android...

Urza has three different abilities, so I'm not sure how that would map to them. I will open a thread about the app when I get some time, just to have it a bit more organized. But I don't think I will be able to work much more on it.

Since this is the thread to speak about specific and unrelated cards... I would like to hear your opinions on Vendilion Clique. I think it does not add much to the cube regarding sinergy levels and it is there because I may feel a need to show that my cube is still that collection of iconic...

I'm not sure I'm getting what you mean. By writing spaces, do you mean writing spaces between words in a given effect? Are you trying to change the line length or something like that? And yeah, it might be a good idea to start a thread just about the app.

It needs the spanish file to be there and at least have the numbers (1, 2, 3) in order to work. But you can use it ignoring completely the spanish file.

Bad news: For getting the app on iOS I would need to pay a 99 USD license, so not doing that. Good news: Here is a PC version of Ask Urza: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1c8B-BlrTdrsShauCbU4U9w4I3kBgYz6J Since files in a PC are much more accesible than on mobile, you can easily customize the...

Sorry! I will explain better. App Game Kit is a program for "easily" creating applications and then exporting them to Android, iOS or HTML5 (I don't know much about this last one) just clicking a button. This is the program I used, so I can get Urza in Android or iOS easily. The link I posted is...
