The Magic: The Gathering Thread

lol thought u were talking bout this

. Both fit the spaghetti description haha
Either way you still gotta sac 6 to Emrakul if you let it tap to attack and then you gotta pray it doesn’t come back down again after getting Royal Assasinated lol

lol. so wait, i haven’t played magic in a while. does annihilator resolve even if it gets “Assassinated”? I guess because Emrakul is attacking. In this case, how do the new rules work with Mana Short. Let’s say I’m in my main phase, my opponent casts Mana Short and taps all my land, empties all mana from my mana pool. In response can I cast instants before all my mana’s emptied from my pool, or I can’t do anything until my next turn???

With these 5 cards in play you gain 14 life during every upkeep…

There’s an edit button. No need to double post.

Annihilator triggers and goes on the stack as soon as the creature is declared attacking which is something that you can’t respond to (since declaring attackers doesn’t go on the stack). You can respond to the Annihilator trigger with Royal Assassin to kill off Emrakrul but the Annihilator 6 is still gonna resolve since it’s already on the stack. Either you do something before creatures are declared attacking/blocking or after (i.e you can’t wait for your opponent to say which creatures that they’re attacking/blocking with and tap it so they can’t attack/block. You need to tap it before they declare attackers/blockers otherwise that shit’s cheap lol)

Tapping land for mana or using mana doesn’t go on the stack. Your opponents can’t stop you from doing any of those. So yes, in response to Mana Short you can still tap lands to add mana and play instants on top of it before it gets to resolve. Remember that spells resolve on the stack starting with the ones on top (earlier spells are the last to resolve), which is technically how the game allows you to respond to stuff.

lol man you are a super noob if you think Royal Assassin is going to do anything vs sneak and show decks. And man the advice you give for legacy is noobish anyways. You are never going to win with lord of the pit in legacy. Royal Assassin doesnt do jack shit in legacy man, its to slow. Im just wondering what deck do you even use in legacy? Do you even know what a real legacy deck is? Just saying cause you give some of the worst advice. And im not sure you understand how legacy works. Net decks win tournaments 100% of the time, and you just cant say such and such will beat this cause I think it will. If you dont know how to play vs

esperblade
delver decks
shardless bug
Ant
sneak and show
12 post
goblins
death and taxes
mud
Tezzart control
miracles
Jund
nic fit
Elfs
Merfolk

if you dont know how to play vs these decks you wont stand a chance in legacy

I have a black casual deck where I play with 3 Royal Assassin cards. I think the card is Very good in casual matches, but I don’t know how good it is in legacy tournaments. Btw, I am glad to know that there is a mtg thread on shoryuken. Now I can both read about SSF4 Ae and Mtg- two of my favourite games.

Royal assassin is a great card, actually. It may not be a Legacy powerhouse but you know, any format that people can’t access because there aren’t enough lands for players inherently sucks dick.

selynsia charm, and the white card half of the red/white split card from dragons maze. Im gonna exile all your shit. Your indestructible doesnt faze me.

But on a real note, WG is gonna be beastly. That two cost lion is bonkers.

These two cards together will be great in type 1.5 and type 1. Just think about the infinite mana and infinite card drawing possibilities with these two cards!!!

Why the hell do you keep calling them types. No one has called them types in 200 years.

that will never work in legacy tournaments, people use good cards like abrupt decay, and krosan grip. There hasnt been a good scepter deck in legacy for years. scepter decks are too slow for a real legacy tournament were everyone has tier 1 decks, and your tier 2 or 3 deck wont do much. Royal assassin is to slow for legacy when you see people throwing spells out for free with shardless bug decks, and devler decks have to much control like lighting bolts, counter spells to kill your Royal assassin, and delver only cost 1, and Royal assassin doesnt do anything to nimble mongoose. Then you have to deal with stone blade decks that get out batterskull on turn 3, and snap caster mages give them 8 swords to plowshares. Vs goblins they will kill you on turn 3 or 4, and gempalm with kill Royal assassin and then they attack with like 10 goblins with haste and have +1/+1. Death and Taxes will play all their creatures for free with vials, and death and taxes is white, so they will have hate for artifacts in their sb, and other stuff that removes other things from the game.

You really need to play in legacy tournament in understand your ideas might not work. You are giving really bad advice, you might as well tell people to win with Gen in Sf to throw fireballs.

kill scepter for free.

And your combo wont work anyway, scepter is a activated ability, not a triggered ability

Fuck slivers, everybody is playing them :mad:, I ran into two of them shits already… also green is mad OP this time around, more than usual…

everyone can play slivers all they want, though they dont win tournaments.

ashiok could work pretty good in shardless bug decks

Monstrous abilities are so good, there was an unreleased planeswalker or some creature that generated lots of fucking mana… that is where the metagame is heading imo, I can’t afford to play in this metagame, the future has lots of Domri and that new planeswalker :expressionless:

[quote=“AlanEdrick, post:53, topic:163136”]

I’m talking about Isochron Scepter’s triggered ability…

Pretty soon there will be a 3/3 one mana, 5 colour hybrid creature with some busted ass ability on top of it. Power creep will make it happen one day lol.

i just noticed that monstrous can be played at any time. that lion and witch stalker are going to break the game for green

Infinite mana with Isochron Scepter, Dark Ritual, and Twiddle…

These cycles that hate on it’s colour make me laugh lol

Imma fuck my colour up! Reminds me of Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, Future Sight type quirkiness lol

Just noticed, top half of the enchantment hybrid cards got that funky border going on. Bet people gonna be all over foils of those.

That border is because enchantments are gifts from the gods who live in nyx, which looks like the night sky. So the enchantment creatures are servants of the gods so you can glimpse nyx through them. Iirc at least.
