MTG Salvation

The fonts used in the file are that Magic Symbols font and MPlantin. You can also find the regular Plantin font online, and you'll likely need to find the Beleren font. You don't need all of these fonts to open the file, but if you want accurate looking renders, you'll need those fonts.

Now that they've dropped the official announcement, these seem very fake. A UW legend when there's no UW college? Converted mana cost not being replaced by "mana value"?

Other dual lands have a condition to have them enter the battlefield untapped. Shocklands enter untapped if you take 2 damage. Fetchlands deal 1 damage to you and effectively result in the same thing as these new duals. M10 duals required that you already have a basic (in standard), while Scars duals needed to be one of your first two land drops. These have no real drawback. It's the color you need when you play it. If you have one of these and a basic land in your opening hand, you have both colors you need with no drawback, much like M10 and Scars duals. You could play 12 of these in a 3 color deck, and there's no reason you shouldn't. Who wouldn't play these over any of the other lands I've mentioned? There's no drawback. And in a set that will inevitably have land bounce to promote landfall effects, you're not even stuck on the first color you picked.

How do you not see power creep? Look at Ruin Crab. Look at Nighthawk Scavenger. Tell me those aren't just better versions of the cards they're calling back to. You all look at the set as a whole and see that it's packed with trash, and because of that you can't see the power creep for what it is.

Yes, but MORE useful than a basic land.

Funny how no one considers fetchlands trash even in environments without shocklands, but somehow these are bad. Guess that's how power creep gets by.

Am I the only one that is put off by the blatant power creep? I remember making custom lands that people criticized for not ETB tapped because they were "strictly better" than basics. Now Wizards is just straight up printing dual lands that don't ETB tapped but you have to settle on one of the two colors. How are these not instantly slotting out basics? Especially with recent duals being harder than ever to have enter untapped? Am I missing something, or is the power creep on display just massive for this set?

The only feasible way to counter that game loss is with an effect like that of Time Stop.

I would note that you can’t cast a commander from the command zone using Ninjutsu. That ability does require the card to be in your hand, and casting a commander from your hand neither invokes nor increases the commander tax.

Quote from the_jevry »

you can however sacrifice the creature during the end step before your turn begins since there isn't a tap ability involved (like svannahlion said, this is assuming reccuring nightmare somehow isn't restricted to sorcery speed)

No, you can’t. The card itself restricts the ability to sorcery speed, and thus can only be activated on your turn during a main phase while the stack is empty and you have priority.

Yeah, keep in mind it is still in beta. Bugs like this are bound to come up. It is strange though that it wouldn't allow you to do that, as the game forces you to click a button to continue the turn whenever you have an instant you can cast with valid targets. It might be a coding issue specifically with Assassin's Trophy.

You can fail to find any of the 5 since the search is for a specific card, or in this case set of cards. So yes, if you do only wish to find 1, then you can find just 1.

Yes, the memorial continues to apply. The Humiliator only affects your creatures, not your artifacts. Nevermind, Rezzahan is correct.

Quote from Comp Rules »

508.4. If a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, its controller chooses which defending player or which planeswalker a defending player controls it’s attacking as it enters the battlefield (unless the effect that put it onto the battlefield specifies what it’s attacking). Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”

In short, no. Using only those three cards, Relentless Assault would not untap Aurelia, who entered the battlefield tapped because of Kaalia. If you find some way to untap Aurelia, then yes, that would work.
