Magic Card of the Day: Finest Hour

I guess additional combat steps are Red and Bant? The effect is very tied to Exalted so I can get on board. Take advantage of exalted twice and ensure your opponent is taken out. But done with chivalry.
None of the hybrid cards revealed so far would be viable under the new rule, so it might have a small impact but small. Additionally they brought this up discussion when the transition happened during the rules committee dissolution. I’m inclined to believe that Gavin is going to take feedback tho,
I’m pretty opposed to it, mostly cause I think it risks homogenizing for like a handful of cards.
I don’t think so, I think there are a lot of folks we don’t know who have different opinions. But I think it’s unlikely given the negative blowback. Maro is famously of this opinion.
I just don’t know if the ban will be anything other than messy? Idk, I currently don’t own one but I’m not sure what to expect.
Please continue to live your truth. May those who oppose you bend like a cartoon pizza in your wake.
I think I’m risk adverse but this shift seems unnecessary
Wasn’t odyssey the filters? Or did it have pain lands too?
I respect this but it is not my journey. I wanna be a contender lol
I suspect TMNT is getting a lot of flack because it’s close and we’ve seen cards.
Folks often do not know about these tools if they are just starting or aren’t like in the online mtg space.
My understanding of the mtg commander brackets is that they are not and cannot be built to address the actions of bad actors. It’s meant to reduce non-games and make folks have fun, but if folks are lying or betraying the spirit of the activity nothing can specifically prevent that behavior. #mtg
Its blissfully not my responsibility. I just was not gonna play against those commanders anyway lol
I’m just gonna say no. Like “I’d prefer not to play against that commander.” And it will be hard and awkward but I’ll do the work asked of me.
Magic Card of the Day: Madrush Cyclops

Is there better haste enablers? Yes. Has this guy been power crept to death….. probably. But being on a creature in a deck containing black means that when you do mass reanimation you immediately get to smack back, going from no board to an alpha strike. #mtg
I selected my cosplay title 12 years ago (The Grand Arbiter) just because it was a great title, as I move into MTG content creation folks think of me as a azorious control player and I just have to do this exasperated explanation every time. “No I don’t really play that card it’s just a title 😭😭”
I ran out of characters so i understand the misunderstanding! :P but im often correct about rulings
Yep! And with Chandra’s Ignition and similar effects the damage source is the creature!
Is this lava people with ethical complexities due to exceeding long life?
Magic Card of the Day: Unscythe, Killer of Kings

This week is about Alara Reborn, Magic’s 100% gold set.

Unscythe is unassuming as a fairly high costed equipment, but its secondary effect applies to all damage. Spells like Chandra’s Ignition can board wipe and make a zombie horde! #mtg
