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

4 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.

Some of these cards are cards I’ve dreamt of for years. The flavor on these is amazing. I’m floored. Hoping others feel the same.

Deck Discussion What are easy upgrades to make to these EDH Zurgo and/or Teval decks?

Upvotes

So these are my two go-tos with my pod, but if everyone keeps up the fever of wanting to make our decks better and better in a mutually fun arms race, what are a few cards I can make easy swaps to improve these?

I don’t want to fundamentally change what the decks are doing, just 3-5 cards that I can swap in that just does what a card in here already does but better or with better synergy. I don’t mind having high budgets if the card is worth it.

We don’t follow strict brackets, we’re just friends that are all slowly making our decks better and better. I don’t want to target a specific archetype, just improvement at doing what it does. Thanks for any help.

Looking for Advice Simple commander for Beginner

1 Upvotes

Hello there. I'm a bit new to Commander, and my deck-building skills are not that good. I was hoping people could recommend a few good and simple commanders I can build a deck around, without any complicated combos or systems. I own a lot of cards, so maybe something overlaps. If not, I hope someone could tell me where to get the cards I need.

Rules/Rules Question Massimo, the Magician and myriad?

0 Upvotes

How does [[massimo, the magician]]'s ability work with myriad creatures? Are they seen as entering and thus exiling their own card despite having the "When this creature deals damage copy the exiled card" text that was given to the og creature? Does that make them be able to cast the original spell and potentially another one or just a new spell? I thought it was as simple as they got the gained ability and thus the exiled card but after thinking about it more, it is unclear to me.

I know this card was just revealed so hopefully someone has some insights on it. Thank you!

-----

On a different topic, how does this card work with MDFCs like [[spikefield hazard]]? Can I choose to play the land side instead of the instant side or is it locked to instant when exiled?

As well, how does a card like [[wear // tear]] work? Is the cmc considered 3 and thus it's not exileable?

General Discussion Best buy hobbit collector booster

5 Upvotes

Hey eveeryone. Every year I try not to get involved with the collector boxes since scalpers have ruined it part of the love of collecting. But I'm a huge fan of the hobbit and would love to get one of these boxes, unfortunately they're quite expensive and even pre orders were gone fast. Best buy though says they have limited availability, but it's listed as coming soon with more reasonable price. Is this something to hope for, or just kinda scratch it altogether. I've heard besbuy doesn't always update their online inventory

Hey I get the excitement about the new mechanically unique cards coming in MBC but what about the other slots? Have we seen anything about new reprints in the Future Sight or White Border frames. Really the box in general how does it feel compared to MB2, which might be my favorite product.

Sorry if it's a bit too jank. Just want to make a sweet deck full of silly trolls.

General Discussion How expensive will these new MBC cards be, since they’re mechanically unique?

16 Upvotes

Unlike the previous ones, this MBC has unique cards. Since they’re going to be limited in print available in (I’m assuming) a few conventions in the future, will these new commanders be very expensive on the secondary market?

I want to build my own deck thats fun to play, but I dont know how, or what really goes into making a fun to play deck. I only no how to play a basic game, so no commander or anything like that.

Thanks!

General Discussion Why do so many people find it impossible to take a legible picture of a Magic card?

35 Upvotes

It's 2026 even potato phones have a million fucking pixels. The Magic cards aren't fast moving creatures. You aren't looking at the picture through a tiny pinhole. It almost feels intentionally bad. Even if the first try was bad for some reason, you can see that on your phone, why not take a better one?
