Quote from migrena »Quote from Dunharrow » That is not correct. Convoke always allowed you to tap creatures for color. Originally, convoke was an additional cost that reduced the cost in mana. With the return of convoke in Magic 2015, the rules for convoke changed to their current form as an alternative way of paying a mana cost. This affects how it interacts with, for example, Eldrazi Spawn tokens' sacrifice-based mana ability (mana abilities must be activated before paying costs), and effects such as Trinisphere that care about total costs. Quote from WizardMN »Quote from migrena »Convoke was significantly changed when it was reprinted. Initially only generic mana could be paid with convoke and now colored mana can be paid as well with matching creature.That isn't what changed. They only changed that you could no longer "overpay" for a spell with Convoke, changing it from a cost reduction to a payment method. It was always able to pay for colored mana. EDIT: Oh, Dunharrow got to it before me Ah, I stand corrected. It happened quite long time ago and WotC does not use any versioning system on the rules. Quote from Crispen_Smith »This may be a stupid question but what happened with all the Gyruda, Doom of Depths hype? For a couple of days I couldn't escape the idea of turn 0 and turn 1 wins, and now it isn't a blip.Apparently tentacles are quite delicious and cats and foxes have eaten all of them. But seriously, Gyruda is Charbelcher style nondeterministic glass cannon deck and it's easier to produce more consistent results with other decks. It's still a playable deck across the formats but not good enough to get to top places.

Quote from MyomightyDjinn »Quote from Crispen_Smith »Quote from MyomightyDjinn »So, any creature with Changeling and then this? What is lowest CMC and most playable Changeling creature in a relevant color combo? One changling and any other creature. You can't meet both conditions with a single creature. First condition is "gas a trait", second condition is "does not have that same condition". I stand corrected. The non-human text's significance escaped me until you pointed it out.

Quote from seilaoque »weirdly similar to Song of Creation but seems less broken.
Quote from Ryperior74 »https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FEKs6G7Xdh8 Wow... Mardu aristocrat edh decks are really shaping up from the Ikoria set By the way I wonder with song of creation that this is a wedge colored enchantment cycle
Quote from boombox_smk »Quote from Crispen_Smith »Not to be all doom and gloom but I don't know if modern storm cares about this. It seems sexy as hell but 4, and an awkward 4, is a lot for that deck. For sure, I think Modern Storm is pretty much optimized unless a game-changer comes out, but in EDH it could be a thing. Also, Manamorphose can be used to cast this in the first place.

Quote from Melkor »Splendor mare is interesting, the cycle ability because it is a lifelink COUNTER on whatever you like, seems much more valuable than casting it as a creature. aren't cycling abilities usually a cheaper and worse version, instead of cheaper and an upgrade?
Quote from Xcric »Quote from Gutterstorm »Quote from Xcric »i know not everything nightmare is eldrazi, but given all the mutations, and the look of this guy in particular, i can't help but wonder if ikoria was maybe touched by emrakul at some point in the past, like maybe she was lured to zendikar just after arriving on ikoria before the ***** could really hit the fan. i mean, what would innistrad look like thousands of years later if she just decided to walk away. Considering it’s the crystals that cause the mutations and nothing about the eldrazi has ever suggested these crystals are a part of their thing Imma go with no. was not aware of that point. man, having to piecemeal together story from cards, *****ty articles, and tweets, because there's no novels any more really ******* blows.

Quote from Gutterstorm »I love the flavor of this card. As it builds up momentum during its charge it hits harder.
