MTG Salvation

Awesome, thanks

I'm beginning the lengthy process of revamping my trade page for the new website's layout. I have figured out the bullet point list, but was wondering how I can make the foil icon appear by the card as well. What tags do I need to use to have both the bullet point and foil symbol on a card?

Damnation

The other end of the spectrum

Greetings Hatebear community,

I am a D&T player in legacy, and have had a modern version of it sleeved up since modern was introduced. But I would like to go to the Grand Prix next month, and I feel like it is not strong enough to handle the meta right now, so I have come here looking to convert it into this. Something I definitely like is that this deck has the ability to play Torpor Orb in the sideboard, which I feel hoses some of the more popular decks in the format right now, and is a card I could never have previously used as D&T relies heavily on ETB triggers. I do have a couple of questions though to help me better understand the deck.

Why only 2 Quasali Pridemage? Don't most modern decks have plenty of targets for him? I would have expected 3 or 4

How Good are the Kamigawa Pump Lands in this deck? I never bought into the idea of Castle in legacy, as bolt is killing Thalia regardless, but is there enough 2 mana damage in Modern to make them worthwhile? Do they come in handy saving Linvala very much?

Baneslayer Angel. Are we utilizing her for the lifelink to better us in specific matchups, or is she just a badass that comes down as a late-game finisher that quickly changes the lifespread?

Excellent, thank you for the responses. So in the case of say Dark Depths, will it still come in with counters, and will a land that enter tapped such as Celestial Colonnade come in tapped as well under blood moon?

Ok, I am under the understanding that with a blood moon in play, if a player plays a glacial chasm, they will still need to sacrifice a land even though chasm is a mountain. Additionally, I believe that if there is a Humility in play, and a player plays an Ashen Rider, it's ability will not trigger when it comes in to play. These seem to be very similar cases, so I would like a better understanding of why it is one way or the other.

Additionally, if there is a Blood moon in play, and a player drops an Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, will the tomb make a difference. If Tomb is in play first and then blood moon comes down does it make a difference?

I myself have had an issue where I shipped out $300 worth of altered cards with tracking through a paypal sale. The cards were tracked halfway there, then dropped off the map. Paypal refunded the money, and the cards where never seen again, and tracking never updated past that point. I've been sending out cards for the past 3 years, and that was the first package to disappear. My general rule of thumb now is that I put Signature Confirmation on anything over $100, and insure anything over $200; it's worth the piece of mind if nothing else. Obviously track any valuable package you send. If you print your label directly off paypal instead of getting postage from the post office, it is actually cheaper, plus they include the tracking for free. Another tip is to throw some sort of filler in your bubble mailer. I have heard if a bubble mailer is too thin it may have an issue in the sorting machines; I just throw a few packing peanuts in my shipments to give it a little extra thickness. Anything under $10 I ship inside a toploader in a basic envelope for normal postage. Yes, if somebody wanted to be a dick and lie about not receiving the cards they could, but I have not experienced that as of yet. I have found that overall, the internet is a great place to trade/sell, as 98% of my transactions go smoothly. If you are liquidating a lot of value in cards, I would recommend selling on here over eBay. eBay has more shoppers, but they will take 10% of your sale, whereas on here, you can bypass that fee, sell it at a lower price than anyone on eBay, and still make more than you would have on eBay. If you're trying to move your cards as quick as possible, just put them up on both and see which sells first. Anyways, hope any bit of that may have been helpful for you, and hopefully the rest of your online endeavors go smoothly.

I will be in Springfield IL for work all next week, and figured it would be a good opportunity to visit a local gaming shop and get in some trades that I would never have the opportunity to make otherwise. According to the Gatherer, there are 3 main shops in Springfield:

Capital City Games

Die Hard Games

Side Quests

I've browsed their facebook pages, and they all seem pretty much the same from what I've viewed. Can anyone from the area give me a little information on these places? Such as if one of them consistently has a large turnout, or if any of them are a total dump/waste of time.

Any insight would be very helpful.

Thanks

Player A has a Polukranos, World Eater and goes Monstrous where X is 20. The opposing player only has a Boros Reckoner in play. Does all 20 damage have to be assigned to the reckoner, and why?

Ok, thanks

So at a regular REL, the game would go on, and Player B would just have lost a turn for not paying attention? Any warnings given or anything?

Player A and player B are playing magic. It is player A's turn, and he casts Ruric Thar, the Unbowed, Player B says, "In response, I'll cast Sphinx's Revelation" He draws his cards, looks at his hand, and says, "Alright, go ahead". Player A then untaps his lands, draws a card, activates his Domri Rade, gets a card from that. Then an onlooker says, "Hey, player B just got his turn skipped". Player A in fact did skip player B's turn. He must have forgot he was the active player when the Sphinx's Revelation was cast.

So my question is, how would a judge typically rule on a situation like this? I would like to know how it would be ruled at a Regular REL & at a Competitive REL. I assume you can no longer rewind the game state since he already drew his card, and there is no way to 100% prove what card he drew (unless he didn't have any cards in his hand to start), so I am very curious how this should play out.

Sounds good, thanks

If I attack with a 6/6 creature, and my opponent blocks with a 1/1 and a 3/3. If I don't want to deal any damage to the 3/3 (like if it's a Boros Reckoner, can I assign all 6 damage to the 1/1?
