  • posted a message on Accidently choosing an illegal target
    You would need to choose a new target, because when you cast the spell you have to choose a legal target before it can resolve. You can't really target the hexproof spirit because it's not a legal target to begin with.

    Hope that helps!

  • posted a message on Weird stuff on DotP 2014
    I also noticed that in DotP 2014 that when combat happens it does it one creature at a time, so if your hoping to survive be lifelink better hope its the first combat done.

    So the above answer to the Fateful Hour / Vigilante makes sense since the game processes everything in sequence and not simultaneously.

  • posted a message on DGR p1p1 choice
    I think you made a good choice, however there is no right or wrong with those picks.

    Putrefy is the safe pick, because when you draw it; its going to do what its made to do no matter what.

    Unflinching Courage and Ruric Thar have more risk, but can out right win you the game if played right.

    I would have picked the removal as well, but that's just me.

    Went Rakdos / Orz with a 5-1 record and placed 2nd overall. I was pretty happy with results as I did not expect to do that well. I only opened one bomb - Pontiff of Blight. However, I did have some great commons and uncommons.

    Key cards for me:

    Auger Spree - great removal
    Bloodfray Giant - Aggro
    Gore-House Chainwalker - Aggro
    Splatter Thug - Aggro
    Pontiff of Blight - Awesome and hard to deal with
    Cryptborn Horror
    Renounce the Guilds - used quite often
    Spike Jester - haste aggro
    Devour Flesh - good removal
    Kingpin's Pet
    Stab Wound

  • posted a message on Emmara Tandris' rule text curiosity
    Ah, thank you ubernostrum, for some reason I blanked on cards that say destroy creature.

    That was fairly obvious too, maybe I need some more coffee. Grin

    Emmara Tandris

    Any reason why her text rule just doesn't say "Token creatures you control are indestructible"

    From a rule standpoint are there any differences, or am I just splitting hairs here.


    Thank you!

    You are correct.

    With multiple triggers going on the stack the order is active player first, then you. So when its time to resolve yours will be first and the game ends because the active players life total reaches 0 first.

  • posted a message on M13 Booster had Spanish and English cards
    Thank you both for the responses. They do seem pretty cool.

    I think I made a mistake on the language though - I believe this is portuguese and not spanish.

  • posted a message on M13 Booster had Spanish and English cards
    I opened up an M13 booster last night that came with the Talrand precon deck and the first 3 commons in the pack were Spanish cards and the rest were English. I thought this was strange - should I contact WOTC? I did keep the the booster package itself.

    Anyone else see this before?

  • posted a message on Can two people play on same ip address
    I don't see a problem with this as long as it doesn't seem like your trying to use it as an advantage or abuse the MTGO system. The external IP will show as the same, but the full route is going beyond your NAT Router/Firewall into other PC's on the LAN.

    This same scenario could be found in schools, hotels, coffee shops, etc... so I don't see why you would flagged as a threat against their terms of service.

  • posted a message on Color Comfort Zone?
    How successful is he if he is forcing white all the time - can't be good.

    My color usually changes based on the format. With AVR I do like white if I can get some decent picks, but I wouldn't force it.

  • posted a message on Briarpack Alpha or Slayer of the Wicked
    I would go Slayer of the Wicked myself. The only color that doesn't have something that it can't destroy is White. So unless your playing a mono white opponent in limited which is probably not going to ever happen its the better choice at least in my humble opinion.

    Briarpack Alpha is not to far behind though.

  • posted a message on Autumn's Veil and the stack
    the "stack" can be hard to understand sometimes if you have never had to really use it.

    I tend to use a letter spike as an example of the "stack"

    Spells are put on the spike one at a time and on top of each other so the first spell that was cast ends ups on the bottom of the spike. When both players are done casting then you need to resolve the spells from the top down. The doom blade was on top so it checks its target and its valid so the Titan is destroyed. now if you would have put another Veil after his second Doom Blade then your Titan would have survived.

    Hope that helps Smile

  • posted a message on To Captain or not to Captain?
    I have been able to play with all 4 captains in draft and by far the Drogskol Captain and Immerwolf have both played out quite well for me. I believe I picked them both P1P2 and built around them. The only problem I have is they tend to be glass cannons and are always targeted first by your opponent for removal. I guess that is the price you have to pay as they can swing the game if played right.

    I would pick the Spirit and Wolf captain high and the other two quite lower if I end up being in that deck.

  • posted a message on First time drafting...advice?
    Quote from urafever
    Well, in every block I would go with bombs over removal, but I thought that went without saying Wink

    Also, I would be wary of sending beginners to any of these websites, because I find them to be rather mediocre as a whole. I think it's better that he jumps into things himself rather than develops a groupthink based on some website or another. It's better to learn lessons through experience, because these people aren't going to be sitting over your shoulder as you draft. Sometimes these people will come over to our forum to defend their mediocre picks (again, I'm just talking about so-called "draft" websites in general)...and I've never found them convincing.


    I don't know, Doom Blade and Oblivion Ring were mighty hard picks to pass in M12 Smile

    On the website I was referring more to the Podcast on Limited which I can tell you is very good for beginners, but I won't disagree with you that practice makes perfect.
