Sundials, and stonehenge had that whole mystery aspect to it years back, some of which included aliens and time travel. Stonehenge is a much more loose connection though, I think.

When I play Yawgmoth's Will at the end of a long, drawn out game as a set-up to a finisher, it's a hell of a drug. The Black equivalent to Praetor's Counsel.

This little fucker is not as good- your opponents almost always see it coming unless you pay double for it (3 to cast and 3 to use in the same turn) and somehow give it haste (lightning greaves).

I will say though, being not as good as Yawgmoth's Will is still pretty damn incredible.

>>52182053
If stone rain is too strong for standard (which it is) vindicate is too strong. Having a 3-mana LD effect can be pretty mean. People at Wizards are HELLA touchy about LD in standard. I know on Blogatog, Maro has said something to the effect of- they do not intend to have LD as a viable deck strategy in any set they make from here on out ever again.

I remember in Theros there was an incredibly janky ass R/G land destruction deck that seemed fun but I was a budgetfag at the time so I don't know if it was actually "good" or not.

>>52182199

I'm not saying my personal opinion there. Wizards (through MaRo) stated that 3cmc for a targeted LD effect is too strong for standard.

I think LD is a dick-ass way to play, but I never thought stone rain was too strong personally.

my question- what is your attachment to LD / stone rain in particular that you react in such a manner?

>>52182210
Budget decks are an interesting tier of play. They can be pretty fun. In Theros, though, a deck with LD would definitely not be anywhere near top-tier. The dark times of Gary and Nightveil Spectre persisted.

>>52182872
I miss having triggers work this way. It was less friendly towards newer players and less intuitive, but it led to a cool sort of reward for understanding how the stack worked. I love this guy like you would not believe. I use it frequently with Goblin Bombardment.

This card is one hell of an underrated (at least in my playgroup) piece. People look at it and think, "oh- one damage. That's not so bad". Then I swing with a buttload of weenies, then throw them for massive damage. my favorite is when I put a player to low enough life that I can end them at will and at instant speed. If they do anything to mess with me, I kill them in response and exile their shit off the stack. In a perfect world anyways.

Morph doesn't use the stack. Triggers however, do so unfortunately it wouldn't work.

>>52184701
But triggered abilities are not activated, and thus can get around split second if a trigger is met.

>>52184701
Read split second out loud to yourself and see why morph triggers would work

I thought those were arrowheads.

Then shovels.

I see shields but they should be shovel heads.

>>52184906
How is morph a triggered ability? It has no trigger besides an activation cost, just like every other activated ability. If morph is a triggered ability then so are mana abilities.

>>52185212
Morph is a special action that doesn't use the stack.

The triggered ability that will bender has (which triggers when you morph it) will trigger as split second doesn't stop triggered abilities.

>>52176295
Holy cockmeat I love Praetor's Counsel. Playing commander for funsies and I drew my deck. This (> <) close to a Hypergenesis before the game ended. That's what I get for fucking around . . .

>>52185373
Yes, but split second states you cannot activate abilities that aren't mana abiities so you couldn't activate the morph ability

Time Walk gives an extra land drop, an extra upkeep, and still draws a card.

>>52182286
Gary is still relevant in Pauper.
Mono-Black Control is the 2nd best deck there.

>>52176221
>>52174970
Isn't Morph an activated ability that is activated as an instant, so Split Second would prevent that? The flipping may trigger an ability, but it still needs to be activated first.

>>52186190
That's wrong for lots of reason.

First off: Morph is a static ability, not an activated ability.
Far more importantly: 702.36e
>Any time you have priority, you may turn a face-down permanent you control with a morph ability face up. This is a special action; it doesn’t use the stack (see rule 115).

>>52185985
Pontifex means "bridge maker", so it'd be one who crosses gaps. It's a good name for a researcher.

Oh, also: You only "Morph' the card when you put it face down. Turning it face up is just turning it face up.

Morph *lets you* turn it face up (even if say, pic related was what put ti face down), but it's not "morphing" to turn it face up.

>>52186387

Yeah, I don't even know how it was intended to function even originally, with the whole "which you still have to spend," in there.

WHAT. I'm not the only one who understands the true power of this!

>>52195400
what is even the advantage with this card?

>>52197021
use it with a first striker and no open mana

>>52197021
it's "free"

>>52197021

Worst case scenario your opponent counters it, and even then you've just traded a non-threat for a counter.

After it's put on the stack just like everything else

I picked one up many moons ago, and I only have one because of the price.

This card has become the unspeakable terror of my Feldon EDH deck, and the scourge of those with no enchantment removal.

Using sneak attack to bring out a creature with an ETB effect is a special kind of awesome. My highlight is sneak-attacking out a mindclaw shaman to nab a counterspell from an opponent's hand and stop a threat. The look when the monored player counters something is something I will never forget.

You cocky fuck

i love this card too. before i got into magic (like a year ago) , birds of paradise was one of the most regocnizable cards to me, even more so than black lotus for reasons unkown. i drafted the shit out of bop during conspiracy take the crown

Your opponent still gets a card, your upkeep, and your opponent still gets their land drop.
Time Walk puts you *ahead*, Remand partially puts them behind.

>>52197636
such a good card, and one of my favourite art

Split second limits what you can do when you have priority.
Split second does not prevent you from having priority.

If it did, all split second cards would force a tie once put on the stack.

Spells can't resolve until everyone passes priority.

>Hence
It's surreal.


>When Oubliette enters the battlefield, exile target creature and all Auras attached to it.
>Note the number and kind of counters that were on that creature.

>When Oubliette leaves the battlefield, return that exiled card to the battlefield under its owner's control tapped with the noted number and kind of counters on it.
>If you do, return the other exiled cards to the battlefield under their owner's control attached to that permanent.
Interestingly enough, it scrubs counter off the Auras.
The original wording does too, but probably wasn't intended too.

Finish of creatures for no mana.
Run a slightly faster clock in burn.

The new wording lets ETB effects on auras trigger again
Do those exist?

You mean like the one in the image you just replied to?

>>52203495
Yes. Does Animate Dead exist? And is "animate" here the imperative or the adjective?

This is exactly why Eldrazi were a mistake. The second coming only added to the travesty
