Epochalyptik on spy kit + Doubling Chant …

7 years ago

Keep in mind also that a concatenated name would be utterly useless from a practical standpoint. The purpose of Spy Kit is, ostensibly, to allow the equipped creature to take advantage of name-based effects such as that of Cylian Sunsinger or Immediate Action.

See also the logic from my earlier post about split cards, which have multiple sets of characteristics and are not concatenated.

JessieMessy on Conspiracy cards legal in EDH/Commander?

7 years ago

I think if the "conspiracy" cards get added to the list of banned in vintage then they would be banned in EDH. Not all previous "conspiracy" cards are on the banned list--> http://magic.wizards.com/en/game-info/gameplay/formats/vintage

I did not read anywhere that the "conspiracy" cards are not allowed in play, as fact it reads the opposite.

"Cards from expansions and special sets (like From the Vault, Magic: The GatheringCommander, Duel Decks, Conspiracy, etc.) are legal in the Vintage format on the date of release of the expansion or special set."

Also note as Sunday 21 Aug 2016, the only "conspiracy" cards on the banned list are from conspiracy 1; Advantageous ProclamationBackup PlanBrago's FavorDouble StrokeImmediate ActionIterative AnalysisMuzzio's PreparationsPower PlaySecret SummoningSecrets of ParadiseSentinel DispatchUnexpected PotentialWorldknit

So technically until it's updated the new cards will be legal lol ;)

ErebusX on Gatewatch format

7 years ago

1.) In this casual, multiplayer format, you start with a life total of 30 (rather than the usual 20) and choose a Planeswalker (or legendary creature that transforms into a planeswalker) to serve as your General. You then choose cards to match your Generals color identity to build your deck. A card's color identity is any mana symbol appearing on that card.

2.) The Gatewatch deck contains 65 cards: 1 General and 64 others. Your deck may contain only one of any individual card, with the exception of basic lands.

3.) The General enters play in the general zone. You may cast your General from the general zone for its normal costs, plus an additional one mana for each previous time it's been cast from the general zone this game. If your General is ever headed to the graveyard or exiled, you may return it to its general zone instead.

4.) All cards, including your General, must have a Converted Mana Cost (CMC) of 6 or less. In the case of cards with X in their mana cost, X = 0 for the purpose of calculating CMC for construction purposes.

5.) In addition to the normal Magic win conditions, you can win in this format by raising your General's Loyalty to 30 or higher. If recast from the general zone, your General's loyalty always resets to its base value.

Mortem on Share your great MTG stories …

8 years ago

So, the purpose of this is to share and comment about your great plays and stories, or ones you have seen. They should be something weird, that neither you nor your opponent saw coming, in any format.

I'll start off with one of mine: I was playing a 5-player conspiracy draft, and for some reason we all made the teams before even starting. I was on a team with one other player, and was really apprehensive about having them be up a player on us.

Then I saw my ally's move: Turn 1: Play mountain, reveal 3 Brago's Favor, 1 Muzzio's Preparations, 1 Immediate Action, and 1 Secret Summoning- all naming Lizard Warrior. Suddenly, he had a 5/3 with haste turn one, and tutored up 2 more. His next turn, he had attacked one opponent down to 0. All I could think was: "I'm glad he's on my team."

Well, do you have any stories like it? Post them here!

Please don't post obvious infinite combos and stuff- I don't want to see Splinter Twin plus Deceiver Exarch.
