I just want Split Second to return so we can finally get a true Time Stop. Y'all can keep your uncounterable turns.
More Split Second, I can definitely get behind that. Everything in the game should have checks and balances, and things that situationally disrput counterspells are a part of that balance. Doesn't MaRo list that mechanic pretty high on his Storm scale, though? If so, our best bet is to hope for some split second cards from future Commander sets. The original Commander decks did give us Flusterstorm, after all.
I'd have wanted it if it had made all spells uncounterable and not just creature spells. Currently, there's nothing in Magic that does that. There's a slew of cards that make only creature spells uncounterable (Gaea's Herald, Leyline of Lifeforce, Surrak Dragonclaw) and Sphinx of the Final Word makes instants and sorceries uncounterable, but that's it. The next closest cards are Determined, which makes spells uncounterable that turn only, and Vexing Shusher, which is an activated ability. There's just no permanent in Magic with the static ability "Spells you control can't be countered."
And I personally am glad about that. A permanent with that ability would have the potential to be pretty darn broken, and toss game balance out the window, unless either a) it was very expensive or otherwise difficult to cast, or b) it had some substantial built-in drawbacks.
Built in drawback? maybe each player sacks a creature... pls

Vexing Shusher might as well say that as long as you have a mana up. I've never seen someone play a counter into a live Shusher.

Typically, yes. My deck is really weird though and can't activate abilities of permanents whenever it casts spells that need to not be countered. As such, it really needs the static ability.

Grand Abolisher, Dragonlord Dromoka, city of Solitude, Dosan, the Falling Leaf or if you must have them uncountable during opponents turn there's Teferi. Sure most don't stop Null Brooch and friends but that seems like it's splitting hairs.

What are you doing with that kind of restriction?

This what I currently see with the current set up and yeah we did lose the link at the bottom
My main monitor is 1920x1080. Taskbar is on the right, so about 1860 pixels of that is chrome. About 330 pixels of that on on each side of the forum is empty space - over 1/3 of the window. I'm not anti-new things and already got rid of the article links I'll never click at the top of the page, but the wasted space bugs me a little. Losing the bottom link is the more egregious offense. Didn't they take that away and replace it once already?

That's what my screen would look like with the ads on the sides before the switch and yes i want my bottom link back:flame:
Current one shrinks everything by default which is worse in my opinion, but to each their own.
edit: Did we lose a link to return to the current subforum at the bottom of the page, or am I just fondly remembering the times we did have that?
I would leave a thumbs-up here because I have noticed that too, except I dislike that change and I feel like a thumbs up makes it seem as if I like it.
Haven't posted here in a while (haven't played M:tG in a while), but I was getting back into it for Casual Commander. I was going to build Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder and I've heard that they changed the rules for split cards.
As in, you can no longer cascade into Determined and cast Bound off of it (Bound // Determined ), is this true?
