Tiro of Meletis posted a message on Good Morning Magic- Info on the upcoming preconstructed commander decks (NO SPOILERS)I love 1v1 Commander. It's the singleton, 100-card, no banlist and having a Legend as a general that I admire most about Commander, not so much the Multiplayer aspect. It can be a 1v1 game. Sometimes I prefer to play it that way. It's the diversity of deck design and casual nature that are its highlights for me.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

endgame1331 posted a message on [MH2] [AFR] Full-Art fetches, reprint slot, and the first look at the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms— Weekly MTG previewsInteresting prospect out of urza's saga is you can still tap it main phase before you lose it to get a second karstruct or tap it for mana, in that sense, considering nothing else, you got a 1 drop artifact of your choice and a pair of 3/3s out of a land drop. That's some really good card economy. Heck, you can grab a brainstone and use this thing as extra ways to stack miracles and a control win con.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

Minoke posted a message on [MH2] [AFR] Full-Art fetches, reprint slot, and the first look at the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms— Weekly MTG previewsDiamond Lion says 'Activate as an instant' as a timing restriction, nothing more. It's still an activated mana ability and resolves immediately.... but you can only do it when you have priority, so you can't pop the Lion while you're in the middle of casting a spell like you can with almost every other mana ability.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
When the original Lion's Eye Diamond was made way back in 1996, the rules were much murkier and indistinct - it was a time when you had to activate your mana up front and it was impossible to use LED to cast a spell from your hand. When the 6th Edition overhaul happened in 1999, a 'you can only activate this as an instant' line was added. It used to say 'Activate this only when you could cast an instant' until recently.
This Lion is obviously a homage to LED.
And no, you can't use Voidslime on any activated mana ability for they don't use the stack. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
