RULES QUESTION!

If I have both Pia’s Revolution and The Master, Gallifrey’s End, can I stack their triggers so that Pia’s Revolution happens first, giving my opponent that choice, and then I can choose if I exile the card to The Master based on that?

Pia's Revolution
{2}{R}
Enchantment
Whenever a nontoken artifact is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, return that card to your hand unless target opponent has this enchantment deal 3 damage to them.
Pia’s passion was directed at the big picture—at making real, lasting change.

The Master, Gallifrey's End
{2}{B}{R}
Legendary Creature — Time Lord Rogue
Make Them Pay — Whenever a nontoken artifact creature you control dies, you may exile it. If you do, choose an opponent with the most life among your opponents. That player faces a villainous choice — They lose 4 life, or you create a token that’s a copy of that card.

Some instances from Loïc Canavaggia, @rhondalibbey.bsky.social, @jasonrainville.bsky.social & @andrewkmar.bsky.social, to drive the point home. 🙂

Gutless Plunderer
{2}{B}
Creature — Skeleton Pirate

Deathtouch (Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)

Raid — When this creature enters, if you attacked this turn, look at the top three cards of your library. You may put one of those cards back on top of your library. Put the rest into your graveyard.

2/2
Illustrated by Loïc Canavaggia

Ruthless Negotiation
{B}
Sorcery

Target opponent exiles a card from their hand. If this spell was cast from a graveyard, draw a card.

Flashback {4}{B} (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

“Next time you come this way, do us both a favor and have something worth stealing, yeah?”

Illustrated by Rhonda Libbey

Storm the Seedcore
{2}{G}{G}
Sorcery

Distribute four +1/+1 counters among up to four target creatures you control. Creatures you control gain vigilance and trample until end of turn.

In that moment, the fate of countless worlds rested with one dryad and a handful of the bravest Mirrodin had to offer.

DailyMTG Story Spotlight

Illustrated by Jason Rainville

Pull Through the Weft
{3}{G}{G}
Sorcery

Return up to two target nonland permanent cards from your graveyard to your hand, then return up to two target land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.

“That which should not have happened is undone, and a new pattern takes its place.”

Something I think folks may have missed when talking about Marvel's Spider-Man is how much the set has changed throughout development, Wizards published an article about it last week (September 3) on DailyMTG. 🧵

magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat...

#MTGSpiderMan

The Structure of Magic: The Gathering | Marvel's Spider-Man
Our initial design for the set looked like this:

100 Cards
No commons
No draft format
Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander, with a focus on Commander
Glenn Jones as the lead designer with me as the "strong second"
But what we ended up making was this:

188 Cards (a new draftable Magic set size)
Designed for Pick-Two Draft (a new Limited format)
Legal in all formats
Corey Bowen as the lead designer with me as the "strong second"

You know, this year has been a good year for new MTG characters...

Ketramose, the New Dawn
{1}{W}{B}
Legendary Creature — God

Menace, lifelink, indestructible

Ketramose can’t attack or block unless there are seven or more cards in exile.

Whenever one or more cards are put into exile from graveyards and/or the battlefield during your turn, you draw a card and lose 1 life.

Let the past die so the future might live.

4/4
Illustrated by Maaz Ali Khan

Kotis, the Fangkeeper
{1}{B}{G}{U}
Legendary Creature — Zombie Warrior

Indestructible

Whenever Kotis deals combat damage to a player, exile the top X cards of their library, where X is the amount of damage dealt. You may cast any number of spells with mana value X or less from among them without paying their mana costs.

2/1
Watermark: Sultai

Illustrated by Evyn Fong

Temporal Intervention
{2}{B}
Sorcery

Void — This spell costs {2} less to cast if a nonland permanent left the battlefield this turn or a spell was warped this turn.

Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it. That player discards that card.

It will not end any other way than this.

As for "cheap" upgrades for the recent jund land precon deck that under a dollar.

Nahiri's Lithoforming
{X}{R}{R}
Sorcery

Sacrifice X lands. For each land sacrificed this way, draw a card. You may play X additional lands this turn. Lands you control enter tapped this turn.

Thinkin bout red mana...

Urabrask the Hidden
Three red red
Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Praetor

Creatures you control have haste.

Creatures your opponents control enter tapped.

While the other praetors eagerly prepared for invasion, Urabrask retreated to the Furnace Layer, defying Elesh Norn’s commands.

4/4

Urabrask, Heretic Praetor
Three red red
Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Praetor

Haste

At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn.

At the beginning of each opponent’s upkeep, the next time they would draw a card this turn, instead they exile the top card of their library. They may play it this turn.

4/4

Urabrask
Two red red
Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Praetor

First strike

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, Urabrask deals 1 damage to target opponent. Add a red mana.

One Red mana: Exile Urabrask, then return it to the battlefield transformed under its owner’s control. Activate only as a sorcery and only if you’ve cast three or more instant and/or sorcery spells this turn.

4/4

Urabrask's Forge
Two and a red
Artifact

At the beginning of combat on your turn, put an oil counter on Urabrask’s Forge, then create an X/1 red Phyrexian Horror creature token with trample and haste, where X is the number of oil counters on Urabrask’s Forge. Sacrifice that token at the beginning of the next end step.

Here you go:

Call the Spirit Dragons
{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}
Enchantment

Dragons you control have indestructible.

At the beginning of your upkeep, for each color, put a +1/+1 counter on a Dragon you control of that color. If you put +1/+1 counters on five Dragons this way, you win the game.

My signature deck is Thraximundar, with 99 card with names that are hard to pronounce, tongue-twister in combination with other cards, or are just fun to say out loud.
It’s old now: was featured on dailymtg mothership like two website redesigns ago. I wonder if it’s still archived?

Martyr's Soul
{2}{W}
Creature — Spirit Soldier

Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for {1} or one mana of that creature’s color.)

When this creature enters, if you control no tapped lands, put two +1/+1 counters on it.

Hermetical Chill 👀 Standing in the Wawa (Convinced I am God)

@hermeticalchill.bsky.social

Unsure if it's intentional but I do like that the uncommon cards for Sami and Tannuk cannot Station the Seriema*. In the story it's stated to be a 6 crew ship. They make due, because they have to. Just like these cards could get there on a second turn Both pulling double duty.

The Magic the Gathering card Tannuk, Memorial Ensign. It reads:
Tannuk, Memorial Ensign.
1 Red Mana symbol Green mana symbol.
Legendary Creature — Kavu Pilot

Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, Tannuk deals 1 damage to each opponent. If this is the second time this ability has resolved this turn, draw a card.

Serving in the Memorial Navy was nothing like the posters made it out to be.

2/4
Illustrated by David Auden Nash

The Magic the Gathering card Sami, Ship's Engineer
{2}{R}{W}
Legendary Creature — Human Artificer

At the beginning of your end step, if you control two or more tapped creatures, create a tapped 2/2 colorless Robot artifact creature token.

Whenever Sami was down on their luck, they returned to an old comfort: the clinks and clanks of tinkering.

2/4
Illustrated by Zara Alfonso

The Seriema
{1}{W}{W}
Legendary Artifact — Spacecraft

When The Seriema enters, search your library for a legendary creature card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.

Station (Tap another creature you control: Put charge counters equal to its power on this Spacecraft. Station only as a sorcery. It’s an artifact creature at 7+.)

STATION 7+

Flying

Other tapped legendary creatures you control have indestructible.

5/5
