MTG Salvation

Updated decklist because I can no longer edit the original post that I've been using to track my current list for the last 8 years.

OP: I've experienced this before at basically every shop I've gone to in the greater Chicagoland area since about the Gatecrash prerelease. It's a huge pain.

There are so many competing stores in that area that they all have to have much higher prize payouts than most of the other places I've played to attract players. Wizards only sends a limited number of boxes for prize support to stores, which isn't enough to cover the increased payout, so most stores have to limit what they give out at the prereleases and cover the excess with vouchers that can be redeemed after the stores get more product. My store, for example, got only one case of M15 to cover prizes for all five of the events we ran. Had we wanted to give out the entire prize pool in M15 packs without vouchers, we would have run out before the third event and would have had to give vouchers anyway.

That said, this is something that should have been very clear to your store before the tournament had even started, and it should have been planned for and communicated to the players going into the event rather than at the end.

As someone who plays Magic, collects silver coins, and has a fond nostalgia for time spent living in New Zealand, I'm basically the target market for this and I'm definitely getting at least one.

That said, how many other people could Wizards possibly expect to be interested in something so specialized and so far from any other Magic product?

My favorite card in the set is Unexpectedly Absent, entirely due to the pun in the flavor text.

I'm inclined to doubt they have the necessary permits to be doing any logging.

The free equip on Batterskull can also be relevant.

I don't believe this works. The Giant puts the equipment into play, then equips it to something...and then Living Weapon goes on the stack and makes the token to which it equips the Batterskull regardless of what it was already equipping. You need a way to Stifle the Living Weapon trigger.

I'm playing in a 4-player free-for-all multiplayer game. Each player has 5 cards in hand. I control a Chains of Mephistopheles and Words of Wind. I activate Words of Wind one time, then cast Windfall.

My question is at what point do the permanents get bounced? I'm pretty sure I can choose to replace any of my 5 draws with the Words trigger, since I can keep applying the Chains trigger first until I reach the draw I want to replace with the Words trigger.

However, when does the bounce happen in relation to the other players? If I replace my first draw with the Words trigger, will the permanents get bounced before each player has to try to draw their 2nd-5th cards, leading to a chain of Chains discard-draws instead of Chains milling? Or does the bounce happen after all 5 draws have occurred for each player regardless of the draw I replace with the Words trigger?

Not quite. The ph is totally silent.

The thought of using this to copy Smokestack and Tangle Wire triggers just made this my favorite new core set card ever.

Did we already know about the mythic hydra? It seems kinda insane.

I'm relatively happy about the legend rule change for EDH. In a 5+ player game, it'll really help to not worry about the headache of suddenly realizing players at either end of the table have controlled the same legendary permanent for several turns.

Not being able to Clone-kill things is fine. Almost every clone is blue, and it's not like the blue couldn't endlessly answer untargetables anyway.

Can't say I mind duplicate rares when they pay for the pool, lol.

Wow. Now that's a land.

I know tokens normally don't say haste because it's a french vanilla thing, but it really bothers me that the Boros soldier token is the only multicolor token to not have a text box with a watermark.

Wow, that's a comprehensive resource. I'm somewhat reluctant to make too many changes before I get a chance to actually play the cube, but I'll definitely be keeping this info in mind. Many of those recommended cards are already on my wishlist, and a lot of the rest I'd be happy to try if I can find them. I've been in the habit of trading away my valuable cards that aren't EDH-playable, so there are plenty of good cards that I'd like to run but simply don't have.
