@Ashlizzlle_ @NileJoanRivers What is 4c elementals

[Nick Miller @Nickthos]

Easily could have bumped up Pro Tour prize support with the cash WotC is dumping into union busting.

Last nights Draft went absolutely insane
Broke my 1-2 curse

P1P1 belch into P2 Abigale and just took all the good black cards and decided my second colour pack 2
Crazy finisher P3P8 got the board wipe
Guy to my left went “you win” when he passed it to me LMAO

When the prize support of my game doesn’t keep up with a finite resource market one of the most vastly used minerals

In 2006, first place at a PT was 57 ounces of gold
In 2026 it’s less than 11 ounces.

It’s a Commander world, you’re all just living in it with whatever crumbs fall off the table

As someone just getting into magic

What’s a GP did these just become spotlights?

[Ondrej Strasky @OndrejStrasky]

Calling it Spotlight instead of GP is mindblowing.

Games have hidden dimensions that aren't often talked about.
One thing I noticed about Magic the Gathering pros which i wonder if still holds true - a lot of them don't pay attention to their timing at all.
I would often get very strong reads on what someone did or didn't have based on the timing of their play.
This reverses at the top-top levels.
I once saw Jon Finkel (one of the goats) draw a card that protected his creature from a removal spell, then pass the turn. On his opponent's turn - the creature was removed. Jon didn't even blink, he instantly binned it - he had already made the decision not to save it beforehand.
A more personal story is me against Antoine Ruel (another goat) - we had a very complicated board state, low on time, and were both playing very fast.
Out of nowhere he suddenly played a removal spell, attacked me with 13 creatures, and played a pump spell on the unblocked one to hit me for exactly lethal damage when I was at 15 life.
He had done all the calculations in his head without giving it away, and so it caught me completely by surprise.
The timing dimension exists in poker as well, and not many people who aren't elite are aware and know how to use it.
The lower the stakes you play the more information people give away. And even the guys who try to have "same timing for everything" tend to give away quite a lot on the occasions when they accidentally forget.

"You don't want Blue's color identity to be counterspells? Fine, it's just card advantage now."

The more card games you play, the smarter you get.

@TheTrinketMage Dumb question but clue how it works yet

This reprint is on the bonus sheet? Therefore not playable in standard?

[Astro @AstroTCG]

[Astro @AstroTCG]

[WoahChuck01 @WoahChuck01_]

Going back to your first ever game of Lorcana, what character/action have you cast the most overall times?

My #1 most casted card is 100% Strength of a Raging Fire.

My #2 is likely Ariel, although it could be Along Came Zeus as that overlapped with my Purple Steel phase.
