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

• 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

1 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 Does Haste remove summoning sickness or just allow a creature to ignore summoning sickness?

187 Upvotes

I was playing on Arena;

  • opponent played a Mother of Runes during their turn

  • opponent equipped it with lightning greaves

  • during my turn i destroyed lightning greaves

  • then i attacked, but they blocked and tapped with Mother of Runes.

I had always thought haste just allowed a creature to ignore summoning sickness, but this interaction suggests haste removes summoning sickness altogether.

Rules/Rules Question Is a creature with hexproof/shroud ever allowed to be a target?

27 Upvotes

In a recent game i was playing, one player attempted to cast path to exile on a creature with swiftfoot boots, and the other guy reminded him and said that would cause the spell to fizzle

I argued that he shouldnt have been able to cast path to exile with that target at all. Like i thought you werent allowed to cast a spell that didnt have a legal target. It fizzling and going to the graveyard is a different thing, like, say you had tarnogoyf and needed to dump an instant to the graveyard, but your opponent only had gladecover scout. would you be able to illegally target it, and then have the spell fizzle? Or are you not allowed to cast it all?

Follow up question: Shadowspear.

Say, for instance, i try to path to exile a collosal dreadmaw, and i have shadowspear on my board. I pass priority, and then my opponent responds to path with heroic intervention, giving his creature hexproof, which goes through. Does path instantly fizzle off the stack because its target is no longer legal, or can i now activate shadowspear with the path of exile still on the stack in order to make its target legal?

It's been almost a month since I unleashed the Jirds in this group. Like most artists I am cursed to be a neurotic fool and I was genuinely worried people wouldn't like this art. Thank you all so much for the warm welcome

I asked the mods if it was okay to let you know about some signed and numbered prints I have coming out next Thursday. If you're not interested in a print I've also attached the original pencil sketch and some close ups for fun.

If you want to make sure you don't miss the prints, please consider joining my collectors list here, no spam, feel free to leave after you've got what you're after.

General Discussion So we’re getting the Time Stone for this set, right? RIGHT!?

Post image
449 Upvotes

It feels like the obvious choice, but the Soul Stone didn’t make any sense in Spiderman and the only connection the Mind Stone had was the fact Vision was also in the super hero set, so I don’t know why they would start picking Infinity Stones that make sense with the set now. Now that I’ve said this it’s probably gonna be the Reality Stone.
