"For each in a cost" isn't necessarily looking for a symbol, even. It's looking for a cost. Symbols and costs have a close relationship, but they're still different. ' ' expresses the irreducible requirement of one mana of type black, in addition to literally being "the black mana symbol".

I see. In this respect, K'rrik's second ability is thus similar to—

• delve (C.R. 702.65a, "For each generic mana in this spell's total cost..."),
• improvise (C.R. 702.125a, "For each generic mana in this spell's total cost..."), and
• convoke (C.R. 702.50a, "For each colored mana in this spell's total cost..." and "For each generic mana in this spell's total cost...").

See also C.R. 107.4a.

So - you can cast Dismember through Trinisphere by calling the (B/P) symbol symbols as B, then using K'rrik's payment mechanic to change it back to 1 mana and 4 life (or 1B + 2 life)

I call fake. The set number's wrong. It should say 304/(numbers of cards in set) - and just says 304, with a large blank where the total set count is - then the rarity.

There's be no reason why that's blank - and since they have not announced the total set size - I call fake.

I remember an announcement stating they would no longer list total cards in a set for cards not included in booster packs. Im at work otherwise I'd try to look it up. I don't think anyone would take t he time to fake a planeswalker deck planeswalker. Most people don't care about them and wouldn't even look at the fakers hard work, lol.

Got a link? Would love to see it.

My bad.

The end of paper Magic tournaments is nigh. All the "pro" events and qualifiers will be through Arena starting in 2020. Profit margins are higher, and there's no need for judges or TOs, or to scrounge enough physical product on hand to supply players and have prize support.

I would also not be surprised if the announcement stated that "Throne of Eldraine" will be the last paper Magic product.

We'll going to make our own magic then, with blackjack and hookers

... in fact, forget the Magic!

Anyway, I'm very excited to see what the future is going to be. My money is on Frontier being realized - though, perhaps starting at Origins and not KTK (so there's no fetches in the format).

Right. Just like copying a Converge spell will not be very helpful for no mana was spent on the copy thus it'll use 0 for that. (peteuropc is batting .000 in this thread anyway)

Just know that everything in this thread is wrong.

When you copy a spell, you copy the choices made when casting it including if you used splice or overload. (706.10)

So if you copy an Overloaded spell, the fact that you used Overload is copied and the spell is changed.

And if you copy a Spliced spell, the fact that you paid Splice costs are noted and you have the appended text.

Quotes from the Rules Manager on both cases. https://twitter.com/EliShffrn/status/1144607536210796544

I just asked him again and he says that that's not how it works.

https://twitter.com/EliShffrn/status/1144298755144859648

The spliced text is apparently copied due to the 'choices made when casting a spell' rule.

M19 had 16 mythics because Bolas was on his own sheet due to being the only DFC in the set. M20 doesn't have a DFC sheet so it should have the usual 15 mythics.

708.4b. The mana cost of a split card is the combined mana costs of its two halves. A split card's colors and converted mana cost are determined from its combined mana cost.

Example: Assault/Battery's mana cost is {3}{R}{G}. It's a red and green card with a converted mana cost of 5. If you cast Assault, the resulting spell is a red spell with a converted mana cost of 1.

Right from the rulebook - so Embodiment will see a split with a mana cost combined.

Acolyte of Flame's 0 ability is quite good. ALL red planeswalkers? Roight-o!



'buster

Sarkhan the Masterless can conveniently turn all non red Planeswalkers red with his +1....

He also rather INconveniently makes them all not planeswalkers anymore. So Chandra Acolyte's first 0 will not add loyalty to anyone, not even herself, after Sarkhan uses his ability to turn all walkers into creatures.

It does look real. Nothing about it screams fake and it fits the crunch.

If that 'no more than cost -5' clause wasn't there, it's even more absurd than that, Ritokure.

Actually, officially -242, so with Chorus, you can get a 240/240 creature for WW. (5WW + 237 - 242 = WW), (3/3 base with 237 +1/+1 counters).

(As of Modern Horizon's printing. This number would go up in time.)

... so Valiant Changeling costs WW if you control another Changeling, right? That's nuts - a 3/3 double-strike for two mana.

If the land was already a creature when you cast Awakening, then it'll get eighteen counters as the prior poster mentioned.

So - if there is a Humility on the battlefield and Gideon Blackblade enters - I am going to assume it won't go well for our intrepid hero.

Due to 614.12, you consider active effects that would affect the card when it's on the field. Like Gideon's passive and Humility.

Due to 306.5b, Gideon is treated as if his text box contains 'Gideon Blackblade enters the battlefield with 4 loyalty counters.'

My reckoning of the situation is that Humility will remove that effect, having him enter as a 1/1 walker-creature with 0 loyalty and promptly die. Is this correct?
