Q&A Decklord -

I'm Mike, from The Mana Pool.

I first learned to play around the release of Ice Age (1995-ish) and was strongly involved with playing casually and at local events until early 2020, when I had to back off for obvious reasons. I got back into playing a little bit in 2022 with a few prereleases and casual meet-ups here and there and I still enjoy keeping up with Magic news and new sets.

As a general rule, my deckbuilding is influenced far more than it should be by what I think would be "interesting/fun/funny" instead of what's probably the better choice of cards. The friend who first taught me how to play had a very strong philosophy of "Not every card is good, but pretty much any card can be made good" and the casual groups I spent the most time playing with over the years were always keen on figuring out how to make effective game plans from odd ideas. It was all immensely fun and it's still a big influence on my approach to the game.

I also tend to design and build strictly from my existing collection. If there's a good card for a deck that I don't have in a list, there's a good chance I don't own any, but please suggest it anyway so that maybe I'll remember to go out and find it.

I was a DCI-certified Rules Advisor under older versions of the Magic Judge program and I still keep up with new mechanics and rules changes. I'm the "rules guy" of my casual play group and I like to hang out in the Rules Q&A area here on Tapped Out. If you notice a mistake in one of my responses, don't be shy about pointing it out because above all else, I want whatever question I'm responding to to be answered correctly!

Said on Name stickers make …...

No, you won't be able to do that. A sticker can only be applied to a card according to what kind of sticker it is. As of right now, the 4 types of sticker are Name, Art, Ability and P/T. In your example, the "Squirrel" Name sticker can only be applied to a card's name.

FYI: In the case of an old topic like this, it would have been better to post a new question topic rather than add a follow-up here. With the way this website is set up, adding a comment to a thread doesn't make it float up to the top of the list. When an old thread gets a new comment, the only people who will be able to see it easily are people who have already commented in it and haven't unsubscribed from new-comment notifications for it.
