@gavinverhey.bsky.social The most unheralded (unbeheld?) mechanic this year was Behold. I pulled out a deck I designed earlier this year around type shifting everything into dragons. It enables beholding meek-looking creatures. Beholding a fox glimmer was everything I wanted it to be.

@gavinverhey.bsky.social I've come fully around on hybrid costs. It used to be that hybrids had some color bends that felt weird, but as more cards get printed, the bends have felt less weird. The main card that drives my interest is Zirda. I play lots of R, and little W. I want Zirda in nonW decks

@ethanfleischer.bsky.social was there ever a universe where this Nissa had "Partner with" a Chandra? I really wish I could run it as a commander with the addition of red color identity.

@gavinverhey.bsky.social Kudos to whomever greenlit a Jund -1 counter legend. I've been asking for this for this since the Sultai Volrath was printed in an unfortunate color combo.

@ethanfleischer.bsky.social can there be a card that cares about when +1 and -1 counters annihilate? Like to make them explode... Maybe do damage to the permanent's controller + board = to multiple of the number of counters that annihilated and/or exile the card that had counters?

@attackoncardboard.com why is there a difference in trigger resolution between Hangarback Walker receiving lethal -1/-1 counters (still makes thopters) and a Vincent Valentine that observed the Hangarback Walker die (gets no counters)?

@attackoncardboard.com Hi, in the combination of Nahiri's Lithoforming and Horizon Explorer do timestamps matter?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Is sephiroth's emblem trigger something that goes on the stack and can be responded to? Or is it all part of the 4th resolving front side trigger?

More particularly, is the creation of the emblem an effect I can copy?

@gavinverhey.bsky.social I would like a Mardu legend that has the Valakut Exploration effect (e.g., bottle draw that ends up in GY), but triggered off of cards leaving your GY instead of landfall. My Black-Lorehold deck is starving and Celes is a Kill-on-sight, tryhard monster.

@wotcmatt.bsky.social does Deadpool's entry modification and the resultant text box he has count as a copiable value, or with respect to itself, is it a text modification?

Stated another way, does a copy of Deadpool enter with a previously stolen text box, or does the copy get to exchange anew?

@daneenart.bsky.social what did the art director tell you for this card? "I want the buff Shiba Inu meme, but make it Abzan"?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social I attach Aetherspark to a creature (let's say, Colossal Dreadmaw) and then I attach Luxior to Aetherspark. What result? Does Aetherspark remain equipped to Dreadmaw without a reconfigure ability? What if Luxior is attached first? 301.5c doesn't feel explicit here.

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Does this spell have no effect if cast outside of a main phase?
