Apr 8	comment	Are there multiplayer equivalents to trading places after the first move? My first thought is this would be absolutely horrible for Magic the Gathering. But then I started thinking about it, and it might actually be a helluvalotta fun to swap decks!
Apr 8	comment	If I were to “cheat” a card into play, would Kurgadon activate? I don't know if you can say "clearly" - Digerdoo's card text states "as though it had just been summoned" - when you consider the vast number of rules around summoning, this text is hardly clear in any stretch of the imagination. It might be an easy decision for those familiar with the rules, but it is not immediately clear, given the text on the card, that it you do not treat the creature the same as having been cast.
Apr 2	comment	Why does Wizards of the Coast print terrible MTG cards? Regarding your "and it's a mythic rare" comment: rarity has less to do with power level or "good-or-bad"ness as it does with "How often do you want this to show up in draft?" Archangel's Light is an incredibly powerful card in draft. You probably have six or seven cards in your graveyard when you cast it, so that's a good 12 or 14 life, plus you're going to have a good chance to get your best bombs back. Is it on the same power level as a Grave Titan? Not even close. But you don't want it showing up in draft very often.
Mar 28	comment	My god, they've taken the … that I've got to get to! I can't say I've ever played this game, but the names of the cards makes me really want to...
Mar 28	comment	Does Pillar of Flame exile creatures with undying? One could argue that not only CAN it get rid of undying creatures, but that it was put into the set specifically to hate on undying creatures.
Mar 28	comment	Can somebody continue a road after it has been cut off/separated from its nearest city? Shouldn't that be `- - - - -o` and `- -x- - -o` and `o- -x- - -o`? :-)
Mar 21	comment	What are the names for Magic's different colour combinations? @Alex That's true, Jund these days is more of the creature aggressive playstyle characterized by the alara block (which, for the record, were pretty well designed because they were essentially decks everyone was playing anyway!)
Mar 21	comment	What are the names for Magic's different colour combinations? @AlexP I haven't seen it in usage, at least in salvation forums or daily mtg columns. But making whatever words from "RGBUW" would be consistent with the MtG player mindset, so I believe it exists. Go ahead and edit them in (with a small bit about what RGBUW mean) and might as well throw Domain in for five color as well.
Mar 21	comment	Are Basic Lands (Mana) Block/Set Agnostic? The flavor involved to use the same picture with a different environment is part of what made that set awesome.
Mar 21	comment	What are the names for Magic's different colour combinations? I would go so far to say that the shards (and guilds, which are sadly missing from this answer) are formal names. They are routinely referred to by shard and guild by wizard's employees in their Daily MTG columns.
Mar 18	comment	Is it better to start with M13 and splash in RtR and GTC when building a deck? On a nerd-note, the three letter code for Gatecrash is GTC. :) I figured the other two were using Wizard's three letter code, so why not, eh?
Mar 15	comment	How big is a Consuming Aberration after it is stolen with Act of Treason? Is this a trick question? Consuming Aberration is Dimir. Clearly Act of Treason doesn't resolve because you counter it. :-)
Mar 15	comment	Why does Wizards of the Coast print terrible MTG cards? @AlbeyAmakiir No, not exactly. As Maro points out Terror is a better card than Shatter. But Terror was put in the Mirrodin block, which makes it a horrible card because almost everything is an artifact. He did this specifically to make people realize that they have to actually think about the cards. He printed a bad card not just to have a bad card but specifically to make them learn.
Mar 13	comment	Why does Wizards of the Coast print terrible MTG cards? @CrazyJugglerDrummer I should note that the idea of a "learning card" came from a conversation with MaRo that occured over a decade AFTER he came up with the list that ended up in sunneversets' post. Whether he just forgot about it at the time, or came up with the idea afterward I don't know. I've asked him if he knows the example he gave me then; I don't recall exactly which one he gave.
Mar 13	comment	Why does Wizards of the Coast print terrible MTG cards? @CrazyJugglerDrummer They're very different. Some are actually meant to be bad cards. Others are meant to actually give players that "aha!" moment as to why they're bad. The two are very different with very different intentions.
Mar 13	comment	Why does Wizards of the Coast print terrible MTG cards? @ire_and_curses And Walking Corpse laughs manically. Not quite as much as Diregraf Ghoul but close!!
Mar 13	comment	Why does Wizards of the Coast print terrible MTG cards? Defensive Stance exists as infect-hate. A lot of infect creatures are 1 power pingers.
Mar 13	comment	Why does Wizards of the Coast print terrible MTG cards? Missing one important one: "Some bad cards teach players about bad cards" - which is different than ones for bad players.
Mar 12	comment	Are counters (noun) physical things? For what it's worth, Wizard's internal R&D uses beads.
Mar 12	comment	Card Organization: Multi-Color Cards You have an entire section for Yore-Tiller Nephilim, one for Witch-Maw Nephilim, one for Ink-Treader Nephilim, and one for Giant-Eye Nephilim, and not one for poor Dune-Brood Nephilim? For shame! (And those are the only five that have color combinations thus far.)
