@erikkleve8389 3 дня назад

Yea I saw that

@Zerothas 3 дня назад

Also could have just blocked with all the scions and banked on hitting a land with ring + draw for turn to discard Emrakul to handsize to cast it. Would have had 7 life with 2 on the way from Cindervines and 3 on the way from Ring, but with the opponents board. They can play Lurrus can't chump Emrakul but even if they block it you can draw 5 for an answer, otherwise the Emrakul swing is lethal. Idk seemed in the bag.

@mewr11 3 дня назад

FYI the chance to hit Ugin's Labyrinth off Devourer of Destiny (Assuming you don't already have a labyrinth in hand) is only 27%. Even with two Devourers, which digs seven deep on your first upkeep, the chances are only 44%. Don't keep a hand that only works if your Devourer finds the Labyrinth.

@Nostale97 3 дня назад

You can decline to select one with the first Devourer, since putting one card on top is a "may", and dig eight deep if you really need it, and decline as well the second to test your luck with the ninth card. It doesn't improve the chances much, but if you're desperate it's something you can do.

@Anaicyl 3 дня назад

At 44:30 Your opponent could have multiple cards exiled with amulet because they flickered the amulet. Because of this, the game considers it a new object and no new card was exiled with the first amulet.

I do this shit constantly. I don't care about winning on Arena unless I'm playing Brawl cause I love commander(used to love standard, but that was 10 years ago), so I'll just go into games and cast whatever for the rewards so I can make my Brawl decks better or make new Brawl decks.

@ReyosBlackwood 2 дня назад

@casteanpreswyn7528 in the ranked ladder and at the tiers where Seth plays im sure they care, doesn't mean when you know you lost, you can't get those last few spells in for your daily. If it's a color I don't have anything very competitive for, ill play unranked games for it.

@TransformersBoss 2 дня назад

44:23 Amulet exiles the card and lets you play it as long as it’s exiled and you haven’t used amulet a second time. Amulet doesn’t have to still be in play for you to play the card. The opponent flickered Amulet with Phelia, so the exiled card will forever have the “you can play this from exile” rider attached to it, and the “new” amulet can exile another card. Pretty sweet interaction.

MTG Arena, but everytime an opponent attacks you while you have protection from everything like from One Ring, a big "NO" appears instead of any attack animations. (any attack triggers can still go off, just the animations are replaced)

@johnwilliams2385 21 час назад

So, when you play both forsaken monument and arid mesa in this deck, you get to play this whole game with your ugin's labyrinth focused on getting down monument as soon as possible so you can tap labyrinth to return your devourer of destiny or something else crazy and just cast it and then return the labyrinth at something with mesaimprinted mana to have very sneaky turns, like if they don't keep in mind that we are actually plus 3 mana on our next turn.

@Dot_Eleven 3 дня назад

44:30 -ish. They Blinked the amulet. Because they blinked the amulet it's technically a completely new amulet without any connection the the Phelia that was previously exiled with it. This is why they can have multiple cards exiled with one amulet because it's different instances of the same card.

Not a bug, creatures that come under your control have summoning sickness until the begining of your next upkeep. It's why every threaten effect in the game gives the creatures haste.

@jaxsonbateman 3 дня назад

Is Devourer of Destiny actually good? I feel like in every game I see a streamer play with it, it's basically "if this Devourer hits Ugin's Labyrinth it's on ", and then it never does (which makes sense, it's like a 4 in 53 shot). Forcing any other land to the top of your library otherwise doesn't seem worth a card that almost never gets hard cast.

Can someone explain how in game one when Seth had chalice on 1 it was able to counter Claim//Fame? I thought the aftermath cards are a combined MV of both halves making it MV 3 not 1.

@manuelito1233 3 дня назад

Combined when not on the stack, MV equal to casting cost when on stack.

@walkermcmullin8665 3 дня назад

Aftermath is technically a separate spell, so its MV is the cost of the spell currently being cast! This is so spells can’t be countered with spells that require a different MV, like Disdainful Stroke!

@randomcrap319 3 дня назад

Short answer, Combined MV for split cards is anywhere but the stack. When it’s on the stack, game only sees one part

@REON-pw5ze 3 дня назад

Sure! There you go: 505.2. In every zone except the stack, split cards have two sets of characteristics and two converted mana costs. As long as a split card is a spell on the stack, only the characteristics of the half being played exist. The other half's characteristics are treated as though they didn't exist.

@jaredwonnacott9732 3 дня назад

Here's a better explanation: The mana value of a split CARD is the combined value of both halves. Chalice doesn't counter CARDS, though, it counters SPELLS. The mana value of the SPELL it countered was 1.
