MTG Salvation

The owner of the card.

702.92a Undying is a triggered ability. "Undying" means "When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it."

Quote from Brusko651

I just think that when talking about positions of power which are dominated by men - such as mtg judges - it is important not to use language that suggests they could only be male. Words can carry meaning that goes beyond the intended meaning. And people who are in such positions should be particularly careful to be politically correct and not make anybody feel excluded from a game that is supposed to be fun for everybody.

Except nobody who doesn't have problems would ever be offended by using the gender neutral male pronoun of "he".
Being PC is fine, but this is a bit overboard.

Also, this is the rulings forum, not the debate forum. If you want to start a discussion, take it there.
Otherwise, you're just making irrelevant, inflammatory, posts.

We YuGiOh now

A card is the colors in it's casting cost in all zones.
So a Hussar Patrol has W and U in it's cost, so it's white and blue.
Horde of Notions has WUBRG in it's mana cost, so it is white, blues, black, red, and green.

105.2. An object can be one or more of the five colors, or it can be no color at all. An object is the color or colors of the mana symbols in its mana cost, regardless of the color of its frame.

"Until end of turn", like in Act of Treason, means that the effect ends during the Cleanup step, which is the same step that damage is removed and that players discard down to their max hand size.
Yes, this is after the actual End Step

The Vat will trigger for each creature, and yes you may choose to exile each one in turn, cycling them all through the Vat.
And since they left the GY and reentered, Lifeline doesn't track them when they go to Exile, so it won't return any creatures cycled through the vat.

No matter how many mountains are imprinted, the lens will only produce a single extra mana.
When you tap a land for mana, the Lens triggers. It's trigger says "does the card exiled with me have the same name as that land?" Since you have a mountain exiled, the answer is "yes" and you get another mana.
It in no way cares that there is more that one exiled mountain, as it doesn't say anything of the sort on the card.

Now, if you exiled a Island and a Forest, whenever you tap an Island or Forest for mana the lens will see you tapped a land that has the same name as a land imprinted, and make a mana of the appropriate color.

The original dragon will trigger 5 times, once for each dragon entering, and the copies will each trigger 5 times. Once for themselves, and once for each other dragon entering.
So you'll get 30 separate triggers, each for 6 damage.

30*6=180 damage.

Does it have to make sense? half the time I'm using it to toast up birds carrying two-handed bi-elementaled swords in their beaks. Sometimes they even have two.

Or three

Quote from Mitrian

Autostack triggers? The spam clicking is for putting the effect on the stack. There's no way to auto-yield to that (that I know of).

F7 – Until the end of the current game, put all triggers with the same text that trigger at the same time on the stack automatically if they do not target. For example, if you have three creatures with bushido that all are blocked at the same time, this will place all the bushido triggers on the stack without having to click to choose the order.

As she is YOUR friend, i can see how you see it that way.

But i reality OP.
She posted a sealed box of MM, wanted everyone to kiss her ass for the last time she spoiled things (god forbid people are sceptical during spoiler season)
and after everyone refused to play her game, she left, her "friends" got butthurt and everyone else moved on.

The End.

To be fair, this forum has a bad track record of being overly harsh to its potential spoilers (beyond "I'm skeptical" and more to the point of "You're a liar and a bad person, go **** yourself").

This by no way excuses the attention-grabbing in the thread, but to be honest, the Rumor Mill could try and be a little kinder to its sources.

So the gang and I were playing a 4-way EDH game last night and the following situation arose. Karrthus had Sneak Attack out with a bunch of lands and creatures. He played Animate Dead on Worldgorger Dragon. When the WGD's come into play trigger was put on the stack Zur responded by casting Chain of Vapor on the WGD. It resolved and the WGD was put back in Karrthus's hand. Karrthus then immediately used Sneak Attack to play his WGD. There was a lot of confusion at this point on how the stack resolved and what was left on Karrthus's board

Alpha set was missing cards and had the corners square
Beta made us think that maybe Richard wasn't all there.
Unlimited, it ruined the game, and took our favourite toys

Oh every set is terrible, every set is cursed!
Each new release, it must be said, is the very worst!

Antiquities made me sick of artefacts for life!
Legends really wasn't, not a one of them did scare
The Dark? Oh, if only it had actually stayed there.

Mirage block had that crappy flanking and phasing
Tempest's shadow was causing a hazing

Don't even get me started now on Core Set Hell
After the 7th one, they took our Counterspell!
After 8th this new card frame, to appeal to all the noobs
If they want to alter the art so much, draw us all some boobs!

Oh every set is terrible, every set is cursed!

Invasion block had too many gold cards, true
But then Odyssey had come and given us too few!

Of course there's always Un-sets, which are just plain silly
Gimmicks like the Coldsnap, a supposed brand new filly
Duels Decks are just sickening, they make me lose all hope
This Return to Ravnica? Looks like R&D dropped the soap!

Oh every set is terrible, every set is cursed!

I am sorry if this topic has already come up or that it is in the wrong section.

It is a subject quite close to my heart. (As you can see from my sig)
I would like to open a polite discussion about what 'casual players' are in hopes that it will form a clear culture on this forum.
I use the word "clear" because a lot of people seem to have a different idea of what a casual player is.

There is a large portion of people that consider a casual player a fool or a bad player.
There are other people that consider them less competitive, others that see certain products as designed solely for them and no one else, or casual players not being capable of playing tournaments because of that.

I would like to see a turn in the perspective to casual players being just "Less competitive".
Far too often I witness people berating forum members for defending a product/card because it's not the best version of it. I want this to stop.

I take exception to peoples comments about Duel Decks and Event Decks being for casuals as though casuals are fools. Sure, these products can be bad sometimes, but that doesn't mean a someone should judge the owner of such product as being a bad magic player.

So, your thoughts:
What is a casual player in magic?
What you would like it to mean?
What you think it currently means to other people, on this forum, in your town, or the world?
About products?
About you?
The future?

Quote from iTRV

Anyone else have a LGS that is having problems getting gatecrash from distributors, or is my LGS making up stories about why he cant get boxes for draft?

Reasons why i believe he is making things up, all three walmarts here are never out, and he has a bunch of boxes of sets that are going to be rotating and are not selling. He also doesnt announce what set they are drafting til about an hour before the tourney, ive gone expecting gatecrash, get there find out he doesnt have product for a draft, and the one gatecrash draft he has ran since release didnt even have gatecrash packs in the case to select for prizes.

I am not aware of any shortage on Gatecrash sealed product right now.
