    Hello, I have a mill deck and am running 4 Consuming Aberrations in it and it works out quite well. However I don't understand why http://magiccards.info/query?q=%21Traumatize is a cheap card as far as price. While the casting cost isn't the greatest they mill half of their Libraries! Is this not as great of a card as I think? Whats the deal?

    Hello all. I've been thinking about making an EDH with Experimental Kraj as the commander. Would this be a good decision even with its summoning cost? Also is it worth it to buy the big foil commanders that some card shops sell?

    Artists will generally get about 50 of their card as a proof. Often called Artist proof. Sometimes if you send them a nice letter they will send you one.. I've got a few just from asking Smile

  • posted a message on Shockland collection Questions
    Hello everyone! I have been playing magic for a while now and have found a real love for specialty lands. Mostly for the art and partly because they can be valuable. My question is, could this be a bad investment? I know the shocklands are being reprinted in Dragons Maze... will this bring the shockland value way down? What I am mainly concerned with is could my collection still be worth something say 5 years down the road?

    Quote from Merestil Haye
    Evolve will not trigger.

    At the moment the Spider entered the battlefield, its power is checked against the Evolve creature's power, and found not to be higher than the Evolve creature's power. Simultaneously its toughness is checked against the Evolve creature's toughness, and found not to be higher than the Evolve creature's toughness.

    Since both checks failed, the ability does not trigger. Nothing goes on the stack.


    This makes sense now!

    Hello everyone!
    So I was browsing cards and came across Mirror-Mad Phantasm. So my question is... what on earth could the point possibly be? why sacrifice a card to just mill yourself? all that happens is that you put A LOT of your cards into the graveyard. Please explain!!!!!
    P.S. sorry if this is the wrong forum, kinda new to this.

    Antz0r, thanks for the reminder, I get kind of lost in salvation. I now have a question to you though...Phantasmal image says it is played as an "illusion" what does this mean?

    I like it. Can you add more paper easily? I go through quite a lot of paper while playing.

    Personally, I wouldn't order one because i dont particularly care for the third hour. will you be making them available with other times on them?


    Of coarse I do custom ones as well, Also I can use all different kinds of journals. The third hour was just a time I randomly chose, so I can most deffinately make one with a different time. Thanks for liking it haha Wink

    Quote from Antz0r
    As I mentioned earlier, having 20 lands is an issue and you should up it to at least 24. To do this I would probably cut Guile and lower the amount of 5-cost cards you have. I also think Fog Bank and Kami of False Hope are not cards that really help your game plan (as Wall of Denial is good and will prevent creatures from getting through). Board wipes would certainly be better than those overall.

    I understand that you intend this to be a budget deck but some of these cards are inefficient like Azor's Elocutors, Sphere of Safety and would likely never hit the battlefield in time to secure a victory. I think you would be better off picking a different finisher. Auratog comes to mind but it really depends on the direction you want to take the deck.

    A good replacement for the Sphere is Ghostly Prison and you can also use Copy Enchantment to help with creating some redundancy in your deck.

    If I think of anything else to help out I'll let you know!


    ^^^ had a very good idea of throwing Ghostly Prison into the deck. The only problem with this is that neither Ghostly prison nor Copy Enchantment are legal. If you play with a relaxed group of people that do not play by the strict tourney rules then both above cards would be very helpful. Ghostly Prison however could be swaped with Arrest and Copy Enchantment could be swapped with something like Clone

    Creature - Merfolk Wizard
    Evolve (Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, if that creature has greater power or toughness than this creature, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)

    While I understand most of this card I would like to clear one question up I have before considering using this card when Gatecrash Rolls around. It says that when a creature enters the battlefield with higher Power and toughness than Simic, Simic gains +1/+1. Does this mean higher power and toughness than Simic without the counters or including the counters?

    I suggest throwing some Gilded Lotus in your deck They add 3 mana of any one color to your mana pool everytime you tap it.
