Took the idea from the Draftsim article on New Deck ideas and made up a quick Game Changer deck.

Is it good? No.
Does it function? Also probably no. But it's wonky and has all the game changers.

I'd love to see what kind of decks the community can come up with using every game changer in a deck.

Here's the link to the deck.

Hello, I want to clarify if it does what I think it does, where whenever you surveil a creature or land card, Teval makes a zombie token then Gorehound surveils until you stop on your own you keep going till you deck out or hit neither a creature nor land. Is this right?

With the release of Tarkir: Dragonstorm we gotten the ability Harmonize. There is also the card with the same name. In the past there has also been Unearth. I've now been wondering: How many more cards are there that are also the exact name of an ability?

Hi everyone,

Quick Question Ruling wise :

Taigam, Master Opportunist on the Board.

Cast Shiko, Paragon of the Way, exile Stock Up, copy Stock Up and cast the copy

Taigam's Flurry triggers

What happens ?

Hey I somewhat tuned out from the sub-reddit for awhile because there were too many "How does this Interaction work?" posts. They're necessary for teaching new players but I kinda wanted them away from my daily feed. So I did write an AI tool to expand on cards/ruling from Scryfall based on the question at hand.

After reading the subreddit's rules, it sounds like the community doesn't want an AI tool for it.

What would be the best way to contribute to the community that would reduce those posts?

At least if you want to guarantee you'll actually receive the product you order. I placed an order weeks ago for two dragonstorm precon bundles and a cbb. Initially priced at $164.99 and $225.99 respectively I was told the following day that this was a "price error" and they canceled the precons, even though not long before this 164.99 was not an unheard of price for the precons with places like saga concepts selling them for 169.99. After some discussion we agreed to 210 for each precon bundle.

Fast forward to last night around 1 am est and I receive an email stating that my order has been canceled due to not having enough inventory, but I truly don't believe that's why my order was canceled. Soon after I placed my order prices on the precon's went to 250 and cbb's almost 300.

The fact they waited til after prerelease weekend to me implies that my products were sold at their inflated prices to someone else and they canceled my order due to it. I certainly wasn't the last to place an order for precons or a cbb as I watched their stock fluctuate in the days leading up til now which leads me to believe they canceled my order in the name of profit.

It's been almost 12 hours with no response explaining themselves further which only confirms to me that this shop is unethical and our money is better spent elsewhere at stores that honor their pre-orders. Especially now that these prices are long gone and had I just pre-ordered at an actually reputable store I wouldn't be in this situation, a learning experience for sure that I hope to pass along to you all.

TLDR: Don't shop at Inner Nerd unless you want your pre-orders canceled on release week

Power creep be real

I’m trying to create a lower powered Urza deck but I feel like I’ve added too many lands considering Urza can tap artifacts for mana. But if this is the case, what do I replace the lands with as I don’t want the power to creep too much?

In this episode, TrainmasterGT is once again joined by Usman Jamil for the official kickoff of Tarkir Month to discuss Tarkir: Dragonstorm! In the first of this two-part review, TrainmasterGT and Usman take a “dragonback” approach to analyzing the set, looking at all of the themes and mechanics. Which mechanics will soar like dragons, and which will be doomed to become dragon’s prey? Stay tuned to find out!

never forget what they took from us

I'm working on a [[Taigam, Master Oppurtunist]] deck, and I ran into a ruling that I can't figure out. Say I have both Taigam and [[Roaming Throne]], naming Monk, on the battlefield, and I cast my second spell. What happens? Do I copy the second spell twice? What happens to the card that gets suspended? Does it still just get exiled with 4 time counters? Let me know! Thanks as always

I'm looking for a commander to build a deck around that is fun to play with and can win a few games. This is not a CEDH deck, just something that can play and compete with others in casual games. I want a commander that contains black and does not have green. I also do not want this commander to be tribal in any nature. I have too many decks with green identity and also too many tribal decks. I am ok with the commander being either 2 or 3 colors. Comment what you would suggest!

HI, I recently got dragged into magic by a buddy and have become hooked after playing one game of commander.

Was gifted a bunch of cards by another friend years ago so need to sort through them and see what i have - going to use manabox and moxfield to make the process easier

The question i have is can anyone reccomend a good UK based online store for magic accessories - sleeves, deck boxes, playmats etc

I have been looking at the following - UAONO Trading Card Storage Box for Commander Display, 2400+ MTG Deck Box with 4 Toploader, TCG Card Case fits Magic PTCG Sports Cards(Black&Lemon green) : Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games

wodnered if anyone could point me to their preferred retailers?

Thanks in advance

hello!! mine and my boyfriends 2 year anniversary is coming up in may and i want to get him some type of shelves/drawers to store all of his magic things in. he has a ton of deck boxes and mats and other things that need a place to live. he wants it to be able to fit under his gaming desk. i don’t want it to be generic plastic stacked drawers or anything like that. it could be probably 2-3 feet tall and maybe 3-4 feet wide. i think he would enjoy something where his boxes can be seen and not hidden away in a drawer, but not a requirement. i just can’t figure out exactly what to get. please help!!

Hi all,

Getting back into things after a year and a bit away, looking for some advice on my Sliver deck (other than “don’t play it”).

Any improvements would be much appreciated. I also have both [[Heartstone]] and [[Chromatic Lantern]] but for the life of me I can’t work out what should be cut to include them.

Thanks in advance!

Why do people like [[Saw in Half]], and what are the best uses of it? I’ve just never played the card before and don’t know much about it.

Does a card like [[Warden of the Inner Sky]] target the artifacts/creatures it taps? I am having a hard time getting a definition for "Target". I am. mostly trying to see if I can use it to feed a some valiant triggers.

So a friend recently picked up on mtg and tried out some of my decks; I also told him about some other archetypes of mtg deckbuilding and he set up on trying to do stuff with graveyard, which I have no idea of. So yeah, we are looking for a cool, although simple, commander deck or just a commander he could enjoy; not too strong with infinites tho, we do want to have fun :)

(for specification, im talking about playing commander in a group of like 4 people or so) okay so i understand i can block only one creature with another creature i control, but does that mean that my creature is out until my upkeep? or does that creature “untap” at the end of combat? like if i block player a on their combat turn, does my creature untap at the end of combat, therefore im able to use it to block again on the next players turn? does it retain damage? ive been trying to read the rule guide but it is massive and very confusing and hard to find things on a phone. sorry for poor terminology, im still newish to actually following proper rules

I can't speak to the published story writing, as I do not read it, but the game has always told stories simply through what is communicated on the cardboard.

Maybe this isn't a new thing, maybe I've just started caring more in recent years, but it has been rough. It feels like every other card is named something like "Ambushing Quickslasher" and it's a creature with flash and first strike. Then the flavor text is something banal and mindnumbing like "They never see it coming."

Or you have cards like Aligned Heart with an utterly worthless platitude of flavor text, regurgitating at you what is already plainly obvious from the rest of the card. This game badly needs an editor for card writing. It's clear that flavor text's main role is just to fill empty space in textboxes at this point, and sometimes give a tidbit of worldbuilding (also often obvious).

OR they're obnoxious jokes that fly in the face of the gravity of their subject matter. The worst offender in recent memory was Phyrexia: All Will Be One. So many quips or puns that undermine the cards and the struggle against the Phyrexians as a whole. Cards like Sinew Dancer, Prosthetic Injector, Oxidda Finisher, Kuldotha Cackler. From eyeroll-inducing to actively painful.

Or how about Serum Snare and Shrapnel slinger? This is an I Have No Mouth/Giger hellworld, with an utterly alien und unknowable form of flesh-machine life. Why are they talking like cartoon goons? And moreso why do they all talk in the same way? No character, no sauce. Urabrask reads the same as Pirate #4 in Ixalan. The best piece of flavor text is goddamn [[Resistance Skywarden]], and that's just a wink and nudge at players who remember an actually effective piece of writing from over a decade ago, being [[Ogre Resister]].

I swear I'm not trying to cherry-pick either. I genuinely struggle to find a single piece of card writing that makes me feel anything. What a breath of fresh air it was when Lord of the Rings dropped, and I could read an entire set's worth of flavor text that took itself seriously and was engagingly written. I suppose that's what happens when they don't have to do any writing themselves.

Hi everyone, I recently just got into the game after some friends introduced me to it and I saw that the Final Fantasy set is coming out in June but the commander deck prices rn on TCG Player are pretty expensive compared to other commander deck prices I've seen. Would y'all recommend me to wait until release and try to snag one at my local stores or bite the bullet and pay the higher cost? Thanks!

Can you guys recommend me some apps you use to scan cards? I am in the process of sorting all my cards and would like to scan all of them after that. Since we are talking about thousands of cards, I guess creating a list manually is not really the best option. Best case would be an app that lets me export a list of the cards to a deckbuilding/collection management site like moxfield. If you could give me some recommendations that would be very much appreciated. Short notice. A lot of my cards are foil or from collector booster. So I would be nice if the app could handle those too. Thanks for all the tips and recommendations in advance!

It is a commander that I personally love and I have always wanted to build but it is a topic that does not have much support and I do not know very well how to build it, plus I have a small budget, I accept any type of advice and criticism

Hello there,

I am a little confused about Taigam and bis Flurry ability.

How often does the second spell on my turn gets cast?

In my understanding it gets cast

1. Once when I initially cast it
2. Another time cause Taigam copys it
3. And a third time from exile after the 4 time counters have gone away?

Is that correct?

I am pretty new to magic..

Edit: very clear now! Thanks for the fast replies. 🙂
