Hi, I ran into this situation the other day: my opponent had an intrepid hero on the board that was able to tap and destroy target creature with power 4 or greater. I was playing an exalted deck and I had angelic benediction . I swing with a single creature and I had around 5 exalted triggers on the board. Could I choose to tap his intrepid hero
before he has a chance to use its ability to destroy my creature which now has power 4 or greater?
Does this have anything to do with player priority? I guess I'm a little fuzzy on what that means exactly. Thanks!
I guess I just like the idea of having a lot of the cards to make different types of decks--I guess I didn't know how janky the core sets are usually...but I figured there would be more usable commons/uncommons in the core set versus a non-core set.
I'm relatively new at MTG, but I've felt like I've really catapulted myself into the game after playing for the past few months. Whenever AVR came out I decided to buy a 4x playset of the commons and uncommons (actually before all of the spoilers were released), and I don't regret that decision. I originally decided to buy a playset of AVR after reading the drawbacks of buying a fatpack or buying an entire box.
That all being said, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should do the same for M13. In terms of my current collection, I have a few of the M11 and M12 cards, but not nearly a full set by a long shot. Whenever I first got into magic a couple of months ago I bought a fatpack of Dark Ascension and a Deck builders toolkit, which gave me a relatively small collection of cards.
I love the idea of having all of the commons and uncommons from the core set, because it seems like the core cards are often reprinted, and I would like to be able to create and experiment with a larger variety of cards, especially since I have a playset of AVR. All of that being said, I am on a budget and I'm trying to pace myself on buying cards (It's so tough!). I play at my local FNMs and I love to play casually as well.

TL;DR: Do you all think having the M13 core set is an essential part to a MTG player's collection? Is it worth getting? Should I wait until more cards are revealed before the community decides if it's a "good" set or not?
Hey all--I am a fairly new Magic player and this is the first set that I've experienced being released, so it's all very exciting!
My question though is whether or not it is wisest to purchase the rares and mythics now, or wait a few weeks or so. I understand that it's not so black and white, and that there are several different variables to factor in, but for instance a card like Silverblade Paladin being around 5 or 6 bucks today (on release)...do you think these prices are more likely to fall, or is it best to grab it up now while I think it's still affordable?
