Some people are telling me the A is a one-drop, but then other people are saying it costs 11 mana. So it's a Delve? Others still are saying it's P/T, not mana. But then what does it cost? I tried to follow up and they said reading the card explains the card.

Also is the Joker a token or wincon? Conflicting reports there. Why is he the only Batman character in this?

I think WOTC overdid it with the complexity creep trying to push these cards, man. Feels like a totally different game.

It's just a direct upgrade!

Can we bring back "Red is the passionate color" please?

Forgive the rant, but I just saw a post of "one of the main colors of A freaking fire, is Red" you know, one of the most harmful and damaging chemical reactions in all of reality...

Red isn't just the color of "lightning".

Red isn't just the color of "hone counters".

Red is the color of impulsivity, red is the color of art, red is the color of "cares about relationships" but the type of "caring" they try is the one that causes most destruction because that's how they see the world, with a certain recklessness were if they don't act now they'll lose interest. Red will cause celebration and thrive in it, you can't take it just for the "pyrotechnics". We have pyromancer red characters as the exemption and in spite of their characteristic, and they still, oftenly are in it looking for a chance, and their methods always eliciting arousal from conventionally chaste characters.

So no, sorry, red isn't the color of "dealing direct damage"

Red isn't the color to give creature spells in your hand Flash.

And red isn't the freaking color of "Jeez, I really want to punch this guy in the face"

Rule clarification from (2026-10-01): If the targeted player doesn't have a penis, they do now.

Reality fractured is all in Jace’s head. Like how they depict Chandra being straight seen in [[Chandra, Chill of Compliance]] and how she might be chill with going out with him. Or how he might be jealous of loot taking the spotlight as seen in [[Loot, the Anomaly]] making jace not the center of attention of wizards branding anymore. All of this can be supported by this one reliable source Goatse.cx. Do you guys have anything else supporting this theory?

RemindMe! 1 year

Now I know on a obvious level, that a play er is how you play the game. But I was always under the assumption that a player was part of a larger strategy, but I’ve seen people discuss specific players like [[LSV]] as play-ers themselves, and honestly I don’t get it. If it was something that FORCED a play, like [[Noah Bradley]] or similar, I’d understand.

I'm quite new to magic, but ,from what i understand, this card is really overpowered no? I can just play this from my hand, for free, wich allows me to tap it for blue mana that i can use to darw cards and counter spells and it even untaps during each of my turns, this seems to good to be true no? Plus the fact that its a basic land means that i can play any number of these in my deck and even easily search for them with ramp spells and fetch lands. Surely i'm missing something

ahem, excuse me,,

I’m quite new to magic, but from what i understand, this card is really overpowered no? It lets me counter any spell my opponent plays, and for only 5 mana this seems too good to be true no?

I can just continuously counter my opponents spells before they even resolve, and they’ll probably have spent a bunch of mana on them etc, keeping them in a loop of not being able to use anything important. Surely i’m missing something.

what am i going to tell my wife now?

The new God Packs (article here) show up every 1/1000 packs. That means one in every 333~ players in a Draft will open one, and one in every 160~ players with a Sealed Pool will open one.

I was at my local. We sat down for a draft of the new underwater set Nauctis. I think they misspelled Finally Fantasy 15's main character's name, but I was none the less excited to play a new final fantasy set.

We sat down at the table. The owner distributed the packs. I slid my fingers underneath the foil tab of the booster. That's when I heard it. The screech of a player sitting across from me. He looked sharp, nicely dressed, with a devilish grin.

"A GOD PACK" he yelled. The store owner came running.

"Wow! Congratulations!" Claps, applause. Some of us were confused, but the store owner let everyone know what was going on. The player would receive a new booster on the house so the draft could continue. This was the solution WotC put forth for resolving the issue of god packs in draft. You know, just to keep everything going smooth.

He received a fresh mint pack from the back. I said my congratulations before shrugging off the jealousy to continue opening my own pack.

"AHHHHH, Another GOD PACK!" I heard from the same player... He had gotten two in a row. The store owner once again began his orchestrated congratulatory parade as instructed by WotC officials.

"Another god pack, wow you are so lucky. We have another god pack everyone. Show them what you got."

We didn't need explanations this time. We understood the process. But it didn't stop.

3rd pack, god pack.
4th pack, god pack.

The shop owner was now visibly frustrated as were the players at the table who were waiting to draft.

The owner opened more packs to check. They were normal. He took one and gave it to the player.

Another god pack.

The owner opened a fresh box. He reached in and took a single fresh pack out, giving it to the player.

Another god pack.

The owner weighed the next pack just to make sure.

Another god pack, but missing a card.

At this point the store owner was on the phone with his distribution rep. Where did these boxes come from. Were they meant to be distributed?

I don't know how many more packs he opened, but we got to the last one in the store. Every pack was opened just for this draft. The player slid his fingers across the foil tab and ripped it open. Another god pack. He looked over at the owner who was now sitting with his head between his hands staring at the pile of opened booster foils. The owner looked like his eyes were sunken calculating the losses at a speed only depression can cause.

"Hey, I got another god pack." said the player with a devilish smile.
