If I have both Thantis, the Warweaver and Koskun Falls on the battlefield, and it's an opponent's declare attackers phase in a multiplayer game, can that opponent tell me, "Oh, I want all my creatures to attack you, but I don't feel like paying the mana for it, so they don't have to attack at all"? If so, do I get to say, "You don't have to pay mana to attack anyone else, so your creatures must attack one of your other opponents besides me"?
. . . and, of course, which of us would be right?
The answer to this question will determine whether I add Koskun Falls to my upcoming Thantis, the Warweaver commander deck, so thanks to everyone in advance!
What cards can you simply not help but include in every Commander deck you build, by color? I'm not talking the usual ones like Sol Ring, or maybe Path to Exile for white, but cards you include that nobody else does, ones that aren't in the Commander's list on edhrec.com, or that nobody can (initially) figure out why you put it in. Cards that you either love to play with, or for which you've found some sort of little-known utility, or perhaps cards that you simply don't have a rational explanation to include. . . like maybe you like the art or something.
I'll start:
Oh, okay. Sorry for the mistake.
That makes a lot of sense. I appreciate you posting that for me.
peteroupc and MadMageQc, a huge THANK YOU to the two of you!! I'll print out peteroupc's post, bring every Eldrazi card I own and leave it in my car, then the next time I get to use the ability I'll hope for the best but be cool with whatever the store owners determine should they disagree.
CHEERS!!
Thanks to the expansion to your last sentence, are you saying that MadMageQc is correct, or that he is incorrect?
I apologize if I'm being slow on the uptake.
I've searched for this answer across the Internet, and I still have yet to find the absolute, ultimate, definitive ruling. Hopefully one or more of you good folks here will have it for me.
I play in a Commander event every Saturday that doesn't do the "10-card sideboard" thing. One of my decks' commanders is Maralen of the Mornsong, so obviously it's mono-black but has lots of colorless spells therein. I also run Spawnsire of Ulamog in the deck.
Now, if I use the Spawnsire's last ability--"20: Cast any number of Eldrazi cards you own from outside the game without paying their mana costs," What exactly does it mean? Does it mean:
The Great Creature Token Project
White: The United Kingdom.
Blue: Japan.
Black: Germany.
Red: The Soviet Union.
Green: The United States of America.
All legendary creatures would be actual historical figures from that time period.
Once I have the points, about how long do I have to wait before someone will ship me a card? I'm currently looking for fetch lands and manlands.
I recommend making them into a distinct theme so that players can get a feel for the setting and storyline, hopefully creating something akin to a role-playing or storytelling experience. It's also good for them to see the "cycles" between the various decks (such as Dimir Guildgate, Rakdos Guildgate, etc.).
I made five decks, one for each Shard in Shards of Alara. All were designed and playtested to be balanced against each other. I made them into 45-card singleton decks so that players wouldn't see the same card twice in one game. The theme is that the maelstrom is causing the shards to bleed over into each other, causing warfare between the shards as each fights to preserve its integrity from the others.
I also created a super-secret sixth deck, the Maelstrom deck, for use when six people are playing. The idea is that the creatures in this deck actually welcome the conflux and are trying to eliminate all resistance to it. Several five-color cards are herein.
Anyway, in my opinion you're best served by either doing what I did or by following one of these other themes:
