MTG Salvation

Quote from deathtouch_roadrunner »

Am I right that to you can't cast decimate if there isn't a card of each type it targets in play? If you cast will the whole thing fizzle if the last legal target for a type leaves play before it resolves?

...it almost seems so hard to cast it might be useless if so.

No, it doesn't work like that. It still targets the other types regardless.

Man, so many awesome new arts used in Vintage Masters..it's a god damned crime that it's online only.

You must have a legal target of each type when you cast it. When it goes to resolve it will fizzle only if all of the targets chosen when it was cast are gone.

you can't cast it without all four targets (though you can target the same thing more than once, if necessary and possible). But it won't fizzle unless all the targets become illegal before resolution.

Also, still hoping this comes up soon =/

Can't wait for the rest of the spoilers

Hopefuly they'll be up tomorrow

Since he's in the spoiler with Basandra,
it may be safe to assume Edric, Spymaster of Trest is in CNS,
but the other three in that cycle are not.

He doesn't have the CNS symbol which seems like a confirmation that he's out.

All the cards they just added have whatever expansion symbol they used most recently.
They seem to have updated some cards (including Basandra) to use the actual VM "card" image,
though I specifically remember she was the COM version earlier this week.
I would expect Edric and the rest to follow suit eventually.

very possible, I dont know the intricacies of that, might want to check all the articles, both spoiler pages and anything else relevant. If there is a code it could be found.

This one says that we will soon be able to see the full set, so it may not be today after all.

The Dack Fayden is not overlapping actually, if thats what you mean, I noticed it at first glance.

by the old rules it would but now if a spell has more than one targets and one becomes ilegal the spell resolves ignoring the part of the ilegal target

Quote from Plaguefather »

I wonder if there's a code or something to use to unlock the spoilers?

i already tried the konami code the name of all conspirators and of the city (legendary) and 'Dack' and 'Fayden' nothing happened

You still can't announce a spell without being able to target everything the spell calls for targeting. It's only countered on resolution if all of those targets are gone when it resolves, though. If you target a Rainbow Efreet with Decimate & it phases out in response, the other three targets still get destroyed.

When was this rule change introduced?

Decimate has worked this way since it was printed. Spells are only countered if all of their targets disappear prior to resolution.

Coucil's Judgement has the potential to be absolutely hilarious in certain situations in large multiplayer games. Depending on the order of voting, in an eight player game you could potentially exile 7 of some poor dude's things, while he only gets one of whatever. Or everyone could pick something different and random. There are so many possibilities.

yep the council can be interesting, at least they enforce significantly better then the Azorius. Then again politics are all about this plane and the Council Consists of a Dungeon Keeper, King, Explorer, Architect and "Assassin"

Hey, guess who stayed up for nothing?

This guy.

Here's hoping Sam Stoddard's "soon" is a "yes, still today" soon.

At least Nils Hamm's new Howling Wolf art looks killer.

White tends to exile more then any other color, I think that is why, its not exactly a maestrom pulse either unless you have a lot of votes...

Quote from tonitahiti »

do you people understand that council's judgement is a mono white maelstrom pulse that kills nemesis in legacy? card is insane

I posted this in the miracles thread. Card is absolutely awesome.

then its not pulse, can't do much against token rush...The same name clause adds a lot of power to the removal.

Here's the difference. Whats the odds you encounter mass tokens compared to emrakul or true-name?

neither of which, Maelstrom Pulse can hit, which is what the discussion was about. Considering its in Conspiracy, I would say niether of those cards are in it so 0%.

Oh in conspiracy its ok at best. We were all talking practical applications outside of just draft.
