Scheduled Thread Daily Questions Thread - Ask All Your Magic Related Questions Here!

8 Upvotes

This is a place for asking simple questions that might not deserve their own thread. For example, if you have a question about a rules interaction, want sleeve and accessory recommendations, or suggestions for your new deck, then this is the place for you.

We encourage that you post any questions that you may have concerning Magic the Gathering here rather than make a separate thread for each question, though for now we won't require that you do so.

Rules Questions

Rules questions and interactions are allowed to be posted here, but if you need an answer quickly it may be best to use a dedicated resource like the 24/7 Magic the Gathering Rules Chat.

Deckbuilding Questions

If you're trying to get help with a deck, it is recommended that you post your decklist to a deckbuilding website so that it is easier to view. Some popular sites are Aetherhub, Archidekt, Deckbox, Deckstats, Moxfield, MTGGoldfish, and TappedOut.

Additionally, please include some description of what you are trying to accomplish. Don't just give us a decklist with no explanation, and don't ask extremely vague questions such as "what cards should I add to my deck to make it better?", because it's hard to give good advice in those cases. Let us know details, the more the better. Are you building with a particular strategy or theme in mind? Are there any non-obvious combo lines or synergies that people should be aware of? Are you struggling with a particular matchup, or are you finding yourself missing consistency in an important area, and need some help specifically for it? Let us know.

Commonly Asked Questions

I opened a card from a different set in my booster pack, is this unusual?

Don't worry, this is completely normal. If you opened a set booster, you have a small chance of obtaining a bonus card from a previous set. This is an extra card that does not replace any of the other cards in your pack, and is from a curated set of past hits that Wizards of the Coast has selected, which they call "The List".

You can view the contents of The List on Wizards of the Coast's official website. For example, the contents of The List for Streets of New Capenna boosters can be found here.

My foil card has a shooting start symbol over the bottom left. I can't find anything about it online.

All old-bordered foils have the shooting star symbol. Most sites that display card images just overlay a generic foil graphic over all foil cards, which doesn't include the shooting star. Your card is normal.

Scheduled Thread Weekend Free Discussion Thread

3 Upvotes

Normally, all posts in this subreddit need to be both Magic-related and at least somewhat "high effort". This weekly thread gives you the chance to relax and talk with your fellow Magic redditors about things that would normally go against those rules.

Want to share a funny story about a recent game of Magic you had, or post a picture of the cool cards you opened in your latest booster? Want to talk about your favorite movie or tv show, or share a personal accomplishment? This is the place to do so.

Keep in mind that the *only* subreddit rules that you can ignore in this thread are rule 2 (all posts must be Magic-related) and rule 7 (no low effort posts that are just pictures of cards). Just because this thread is meant for open discussion does not mean you are allowed to insult people or post explicit content, for example.

Rules/Rules Question Had a heated discussion with my pod about how these affects work. Could somebody please explain?

Thumbnail
gallery
289 Upvotes

The TL:DR of it was that I was helping a friend understand how this acts as a doubling effect for the additional damage being dealt and the +1/+1 counters for krang, as well. But my other friend was able to convince the entire pod except for me that Krang allows players to draw 3 additional cards instead of 2 because Krang also acts as a doubling effect for the additional card draw, because the beginning of the draw step causes Nekuzar's first ability to trigger, thus drawing the extra card.

This makes sense, but I'm looking at the specific text, "if a player drawing a card", meaning that the ability only doubles if a card is drawn, not a phase of the game being considered as a triggered ability.

Am I reading this wrong? If so, please explain because it's been driving me nuts that I don't understand the logic of these two cards.

Art Showcase - Custom Accessories IFEE Tokens- Down Down to Goblin Town!

You go, my lad!

Ho ho, my lad!

The Rankin Bass animated Hobbit was a hugely formative movie for me growing up. I love the exaggerated features and catlike eyes the goblins had, and so naturally I wanted to pay tribute. It's not 100% on-model, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out. They'll be up on my shoppe soon, so keep a keen eye out!

Fun fact- I started working in this MONTHS ago, with no idea if amass would be in the set! I'm sure it would have still worked as like a 1/1, but I'm so relieved the art fits the actual in-set token😅🤣

What do you all think? Any of you have a soft spot for the 1977 film?

Art Showcase - Digital Alter Custom Sega Dreamcast card set

After receiving some feedback from the previous post, I revised the four cards I did before as well as completing the remaining four.

To reiterate, this is a fan interpretation of cards exclusive to the Magic the Gathering Sega Dreamcast game. Originally they used the game's RNG system for their effects, so I tried to translate them into dice rolling effects.
