bobthefunny posted a message on Secret Lair: Black is MagicThis is so far off the rails from discussing Magic at this point; I'm shutting this down.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
It's Black History Month, people... Making a product themed to that is not pandering, nor political. It's literally the theme of the month, and a Nationally recognized cultural event.
I am going to take this moment to reiterate that MTGS stands behind inclusion initiatives, and increased diversity in Magic, these forums, and in life in general. Statements made against inclusion or diversity hold no place here.
I am also going to reiterate that MTGS is not a place to argue about politics or social issues. Period.

bobthefunny posted a message on Inclusion in the MTG Salvation CommunityMTG Salvation is a community for discussing Magic: The Gathering. Towards this end, we try every day to help build a community with a culture of inclusiveness and non-discrimination. It is important to all of us here at MTGSalvation that all can feel welcome to share their thoughts and love of the game here. However, we are only the beginning. Everyone is involved in making a community come together — from the posts each of us make, to helping monitor and report posts that breach our ideals to help foster the kind of community we all want to have.Posted in: Community Discussion
We will say this simply and up front: Racism, Sexism, Misogyny, and any other forms of prejudice or predatory behavior is not welcome here. We extend our hand to the community: help us spread these values in the positive messages we post, and report any posts that violate these policies and ideals. If you have any doubts about whether a post violates our rules, or there is something that makes you uncomfortable on the site — please talk to us in the Staff Inbox, or message a moderator or admin directly to let us know of your concerns.
In general, we try to keep MTG Salvation free of in-depth political discussion. These discussions often have little bearing on Magic: The Gathering topics, and this is not the place to debate contentious issues or convince others of your viewpoint. However, sometimes the reality is that the two can get caught up together. When this occurs, the moderator team tries to keep the topic focused on the impact to the game first and foremost as much as possible — while closing threads that get too heated or go too far afield. While we know that these are passionate topics, we ask you to please help us in keeping the discussion level headed and on the topics of how these topics influence the game.
It has been two weeks since Wizards of the Coast has removed racist depictions from their site by removing the art of several problematic cards. It has been brought to our attention that our own databases still maintained the old art. As racism has no place on this site, we are following Wizards' example, and are likewise removing the art of the following problematic cards:
MTG Salvation is a gaming forum, and we want to foster a community that welcomes a wide variety of views. Posts and comments that hinder this goal are not welcome here.

Watchwolf posted a message on How much should "Target gets -4/-4 uEOT" Cost?There are a lot of factors to consider.Posted in: Custom Card Creation
Mainly, there is the question of how aggressive and how large the set's threats are. A set with multiple aggressively costed N/4 creatures will want a more aggressively costed -4/-4 removal spell, for example.
Rarity also matters. A higher number of the aformentioned threats at common will encourage the removal to be common as well.
Also depends on the other removal in the set. Red will usually take care of the smaller creatures. I think that in a set with Lightning Strike, for example, will be more comfortable with black removal that gives -4/-4 or -5/-5. Similarly, if there's other black removal already in the set at a certain mana cost, that pushes -N/-N removal away from that spot. For example, you're less likely to see Murder alongside Ob Nixilis's Cruelty, for example.
As for speed, I think it depends on how significant the hasty or flashy threats in the set are. Riot, for example, is the kind of mechanic that would push one toward using more instant-speed removal.
As for my personal preference, I like sets that have more aggressive threats, so I would not want to go above 3 mana for a -4/-4 spell. I would also be partial to instant-speed, but it really depends on the context. I will say that Ob Nixilis's Cruelty is surprisingly efficient. I wouldn't have expected a -5/-5 effect at instant with upside to be only 3 mana and only one black symbol. -

Skornage posted a message on Magic Commander Counter (iOS and Android)Hi guys,Posted in: Mobile Apps
I made a counter app for my buddy, and he suggested I share it with the community! It’s free and has some unique features that we haven't seen in the app stores yet. The most unique feature is that its session based: users host/join sessions to keep track of vitals across multiple devices. It allows unlimited devices to be connected and is cross-platform supported!
App Store listing:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/magic-commander-counter/id1450538726#?platform=iphone
Google Play Store listing:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.ionic.magic.commander.counter
Or search the stores yourself for "Magic Commander Counter," and look for the green icon.
Why online? My buddy requested this feature to be more strategic when he's checking vitals. When checking vitals on pen/paper, or traditional counter apps, his opponents could see who he was checking. Also, traditional counter apps starve for screen space because they want the device to be shared for the entire group. The session format allows individual users to decide what to display, and it allows the device to take advantage of more screen space!
The app has several features that you guys should check out! I believe it's the most flexible and non-prescriptive counter app out there. It has tablet support, and all mobile devices have landscape and portrait modes. I hope to make it even better after I gain some insight into how people use it. So please, if you try it out, post some feedback/suggestions. I'm accepting feature requests, and your ideas are extremely valuable.

WizardMN posted a message on [Global/Tech] Feyd Ruin's Depths of DespairPosted in: Staff Helpdesks
I responded to your other thread but there were a couple things wrong with the lines in your deck tags. If you look at your other thread, you will see how to get your deck to format correctly.Quote from Brownpaws1 »Hi, I am very new here and just joined a couple days ago. I posted a deck in Modern and put it into the thing, but it came up as if their were no cards in there, did I do something wrong? Also is this in the wrong place?
Also, check out this thread on tags in general:

Legend posted a message on My friend is having a baby!!!Posted in: Custom Card CreationQuote from Simplysublime »I think I will change it to exile
Use Magic Set Editor to make your cards. The software is designed to be very accurate to actual cards but recognizable as fake cards. You will have to use card sleeves no matter what you do. -

Are you seriously calling Bob a conservative Christian moderator that’s trying to silence liberal voices?

Back to our regularly scheduled thread...
When a new legend comes out, I always immediately consider them as a possible Commander.
For that, it seems lackluster. It's quick and easy, but it's still just one token per turn.
Seems more likely to be useful in an aggro non-commander deck.

It's my goal to give primer writers everything they need to have full control over the look and feel of their primer. If you're going to invest the amount of time it takes to really do a good primer for the love of the game and for the benefit of the magic community, the least I can do is make sure you have every tool you need at your disposal. If we're lacking something, at launch or even down the road, let me know.
