  • posted a message on Tezzeret and Mirage mirror
    If i ultimate my tezzeret the schemer and at the beginning of combat i target my mirage mirror turning it into a 5/5 creature. what happens when i use mirage mirror's ability to change into something else?

    for instance...let's say i use it to copy a 2/2 creature....what is mirage mirrors's actual power and toughness? what happens at the end of the turn? does it go back to being a 5/5 artifact creature?


    what if it copies an enchantment or land? is it a 5/5 enchantment/land? or does it forget it was a creature?


    thanks

    Is my opponent allowed to cut, shuffle, or otherwise alter his own deck after i shuffle or cut it?

    if yes or no...is there a specific rule i can reference when this comes up again?

    thanks

    if i use mirage mirror to copy a relentless dead ....and it later in the turn dies.....is it still a relentless dead when it hits the graveyard and the recursion abilities still able to be activated? or is it just a mirage mirror when it goes to the graveyard?


    so in essence.....can i copy a relentless dead with my mirage mirror and bring back creatures and/or itself in my graveyard when it dies?


    thanks

    at 5 mana with 2 colors and as a 3 loyalty walker....her 2nd ability should have been a -2 ability that created 2 creature 3/3 tokens with trample

    you could only use it once w/o using her +2...and would make the walker worth its casting cost

    I am very surprised people think this card is good.

    The plus ability isn't good. Jace, Vryn's Prodigy costs 1U and always loots. Jace, Cunning Castaway conditionally loots assuming you deal combat damage and costs 1UU. The plus ability doesn't do anything if you don't already have a board state. Saheeli Rai, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and Liliana, the Last Hope all do something if you don't already have a board state.

    Even if you plus him the same turn you play him, you effectively payed 1UU to draw a card and then discard a card. To make matters worse, you probably don't have a blocker for Jace, Cunning Castaway anymore. This is the opposite of synergy.

    The minus ability creates a 2/2 with a drawback. Compare how low of impact that ability is to the other three planeswalkers I mentioned.



    you realize that you don't have to cast him on turn 3 right?


    Sram's expertise seems like a nice companion card

    people on these boards are notoriously terrible at evaluating the power of a card

    it's no different in this case


    this new jace PW is great....it fits all the hallmarks of a good PW

    it's cheap, protects itself, and has an easily achieved ultimate......that gets out of control stupid fast




    this card is going to be a nightmare to play against....

    so let me clarify


    if my opponent casts an abrade second mode on my mirage mirror....can i in response activate the ability to copy another creature to avoid the abrade mode?

    does mirage mirror cease being an artifact if it targets a non artifact creature and it's ability resolves for the duration of the ability?

  • posted a message on Mirage Mirror w/Angel of Invention
    Opponent has angel of invention in play and i have a mirage mirror in play

    the angel is 2/1 due to opponent having chosen the token option

    i copy the angel with my mirage mirror

    what are the stats of my angel mirror?

    conversely ....if the angel is god-pharaoh's gifted ....... what would the stats be if i mirror copied it?



    thanks

  • posted a message on Anthem and damage question
    I have on the board an Angel of invention and 2 spell queller

    the opponent has an archangel avacyn that is going to flip my next upkeep

    angel dies...as a result of the 3 damage

    what happens to the quellers? they have 3 damage on them at 4 toughness...until the angel dies....

    do they die or live?

    there are several decent cards that make the choice inconsequential.....eldrazi displacer and Long Road Home for example


    the biggest problem isn't the choice....it's the fact that it's a sorcery

  • posted a message on Plays to make with Eldritch Evolution
    the only hope for EE to have a chance to see standard play is tagging on to creatures with leave the battle field/dies effects...into a creature that has an EBF effect

    this way you don't get 3 for 1'd when your creature gets killed/bounced


    the pool of qualified creatures to choose from at sorcery speed is very limited in standard right now

    EDF is a great response to removal as well

    getting such a big body and nice effect for so cheap is hard to beat



    i like the effect of eldritch evolution......it's like a pseudo emerge.....but it being a sorcery makes its current hype unjustified IMO

    if it was an instant it'd be the best card in the set
