  • posted a message on [[THS]] Theros Compiled Info
    To add to the list of known card names there will be a card named Karametra's Acolyte in Theros.

    Reveleaded on this page about the 2013 Holiday Gift Box.

    At the bottom, in the list of included items, it says:


    • An alternate-art Karametra's Acolyte from the Theros set

    Quote from Savil
    Deathforge Shaman :4mana::symr:
    Creature - Goblin Shaman
    Multikicker red mana
    Whenever Deathforge Shaman enters the battlefield, for each time it was kicked, it deals 2 damage to target player.
    4/3


    This seems like a pretty darn good guess. Even the name seems likely.

    I had a thought that it might be

    ".....for each time it was kicked, it deals 2 damage to target creature"

    because then it would be even more opposite.

    That said it would suck then but just thought it was a possibility worth mentioning. I hope it is worded the way you guessed on the actual card though.

  • posted a message on When can I put counters on my Luminarch Ascension in a 6 way game of emperor magic?
    I am a general in a 6 player game of emperor magic.

    I have a Luminarch Ascension in play.

    I have just passed the turn to the facing general.

    I can put a counter on Luminarch Ascension at the beginning of that players end step (if I have not taken damage that turn).

    Can I put a counter on Luminarch Ascension at the beginning of the emperor players end step (if I have not taken damage that turn)?

    Can I put a counter on Luminarch Ascension at the beginning of the following general players end step (if I have not taken damage that turn)?

    We play that all players have a sphere of influence of two places in each direction (so I cannot target, damage, etc the general furthest from me). I am unsure if this means I cannot put counters on my Luminarch Ascension (as it does not target, damage, etc - it is simply triggered during their turn).

    What about Taurean Mauler? Which opponents spells give me the opportunity to put +1/+1 counters on the Mauler?

    If you can point me to any online documentation that explains why that would be awesome.

    Cheers for that. I thought that was the case but needed the succinct words to explain to my opponent why his dragon was dead.

  • posted a message on Tapping vigilance creatures after they have attacked. Do they still deal combat dmg?
    Lets say I am attacking with my Serra Angel which is enchanted with Fire Whip.

    I declare my intention to attack. My opponent does not respond.

    I declare the angel as an attacker. My opponent does not respond.

    My opponent declares his Shivan Dragon as a blocker. I respond by tapping my angel to deal his dragon 1 damage.

    Does the angel still deal its 4 combat damage and kill the dragon even though it is now tapped?

    Also if you can tell me what part of the comp rules to consult I would be keen to read up on it.

    Thanks in advance.:)

  • posted a message on Minds Desire questions.
    I have a bunch of questions about Mind's Desire.

    Sorry if these have been answered elsewhere - if they have please close this thread and redirect me to where I should have looked.

    1) Do cards played for free with Mind's Desire increase my storm count for any further storm cards I play either with the Mind's Desire or later in the turn?

    2) If I have Future Sight in play as I play Mind's Desire do I have to reveal the top card of my library between each card I set aside for Mind's Desire?

    3) If I respond to Mind's Desire (or any storm card) with an instant does this add to that spell's storm count (like I cast Mind's Desire and in response to my own spell cast a Frantic Search - does this add one to the Mind's Desire's storm count)?

    Thats the only questions I can remember right now.

    P.S. The main reason I am asking these questions is because I have been playing a Mind's Desire deck for a while and my opponents often don't understand how it works.

    I'm pretty sure I've been playing it right but I can't always explain how/why it works the way it does.

    If I can get the definitive answer here then I will be sure I am doing it right and more importantly be able to explain to my opponents what is going on when I Brain Freeze them for 135 cards (the most I think I have ever milled with a single Brain Freeze - by no means a world record I'm sure).

    Thanks in advance and if I come up with any other questions I'll add them later.

    Good to hear because in the same deck I also run Aluren+ Cloudstone Curio +Rishadan Cutpurse+Rishadan Cutpurse to achieve the same effect.

    Excellent - thanks for the quick reply.

    Aluren+Tangleroot+Equilibrium+Rishadan Cutpurse+Rishadan Cutpurse = My opponents sacrifice all their permanents?



    I have Aluren,Tangleroot, Equilibrium and a Rishadan Cutpurse in play.

    Here is my specific question:
    If I play a second Rishadan Cutpurse can I use the G that Tangleroot gives me to return the one already in play to my hand with Equilibrium?

    If so could I then play and replay Rishadan Cutpurse any number (X) of times causing all my opponents to pay X or sacrifice a permanent for each each 1 of x not paid - correct?

  • posted a message on The New Site Is Live!!!!
    I'm going to add my voice to the chorus of people who are less than impressed with the new site.

    As has been mentioned it looks great. But then I don't go to magicthegathering.com for visual stimulation.

    All the excellent content I used to look for is hidden/moved/gone as far as I can tell. I am not very inspired to look for it either.

    For their first visit beginners will love the site but from their second visit (and for anyone else) it seems to be a colossal waste of time.

    What a shame. Frown

    Thologes Tenroot -- 2GG
    Legendary Creature - Human Ranger
    At the end of each turn, if a creature entered play this turn, put a 1/1 green Human Ranger token into play.
    3/3


    I like it. A pint sized Verdant Force (2GG for a 3/3 instead of 5GGG for a 7/7). Being easier to cast you have toned it down well by making it legendary and putting a condition on the token generation.

    I could totally see WOTC printing this card.

    Definitely keep the one with art by Kevin Chin.

    But as someone else said the other art is also very good so you should save it for some later creation.

    Ahem nicely spotted guys. Redface

    Didn't even think about the power of this card if all you did was play it, remove 2 loyalty for the second ability and swing with a few dudes.

    Heads back to the drawing board.....

    Oh and Magac I was wondering about
    Quote from magac
    Warseeker Veterans 2R
    Creature - Human Rogue
    Haste
    Whenever a source deals damage to Warseeker Veterans, that source's controller gains control of it.
    "We long to fight with those who are strong enough to stand up against us."
    4/3

    does the sources controller gain control immediately?

    Like if you declare it as an attacker and they Shock it is it removed from combat (I assume yes)?

    If it works they way I think it does - nice card!

    Could it be even cheaper (RR or 1R)?

    Wahaugan Speaker -- 1WW
    Creature - Human Shaman
    When Wahaugan Speaker deals combat damage to a player, that player can't play spells targeting you. (This effect lasts until end of game.)
    2/3



    Nice card. Seems fairly costed when compared with Ivory Mask (slightly cheaper but requiring successful attack to "switch on"). However it does not grant true shroud (like Ivory Mask) so maybe it should have some form of minor evasion like "~ can't be blocked by creatures with power 3 or greater".

    Learning from Diversity 2GG
    Sorcery
    Draw a card for each value of power among creatures you control. (For example, if you control three 1/1 creatures, two 2/2 creatures and a 3/3 creature, you draw 3 cards.)
    Every species has their own tale of survival.


    Seems like this card is a little unclear.
    Does having a 1/2 or a 4/3 affect how many cards you draw?
    It's not totally evident to me.

    I'd suggest something along the lines of

    Cardname 2GG
    Sorcery
    Draw a card for each creature you control that has a different power and toughness from every other creature you control.

    Does that fit the flavour of your card while being easier to understand?

    Anyway I like the idea of the card and find it very original. I'd love to play this in a deck full of crazy different sized creatures (would be awesome for my highlander deck!).

    My card:



    Browsing Boon
    XWU
    Draw a card.
    Reveal the top X cards of your library. Gain life equal to those cards total converted mana costs.
    Put the revealed cards on the bottom of your library in any order.
