After reading both the comphrehensive rules and the MTGCommander.net rules, it appears that the two contradict each other on whether or not effects that refer to cards from outside the game continue to function?...

What happens when an opponent plays a creature if I have a Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite in play (“opponent’s creatures get -2/-2”) and my opponent has Pantlaza in play? Does Pantlaza get the trigger off the creature’s original stats or off the number resulting from Elesh’s reduction?

does anybody else play magic with cockatrice or a similar platform? I’m getting back into the game after some years away and don’t have the budget to play IRL right now....

My favorites are Phil Foglio and Carly Mazur...

Hey there! I’m new to paper MTG and play Commander with my playgroup. We’ve been having a debate about whether the total value of a deck really indicates how strong it is. One of my friends argues that value doesn’t equal strength, but I can’t help but wonder when I keep losing to a deck with a higher price tag than...

Could you please clarify for me? If I activate an ability that has a cost and then copy it, do I need to pay the cost again for the copy to resolve?...

I’ve already made some of them (loyalty and +1/+1) but they don’t convince me. I’m looking to remake those and also add -1/-1, ability counters, and a way to differentiate between +1/+1 counters and "creatures get +x/+x”. Would be nice to also add some counters for Commander Tax and for tokens (for when I have multiple...

The pertinent ruling is apparently...

See title, for example [[Generous Patron]]. It’s a long running question I had with a friend, and we kind of came to the conclusion that the answer is no because the creature doesn’t yet exist when the ETB resolves....

My favorite deck I own is my Jasmine Boreal of the Seven all old border deck. Lots of vanilla creatures and an enchantress subtheme for card draw. Its fun to work within the limits of old border only, and its a great excuse to look at tons of old cards....

Spoiler!Seth Mansfield playing RB Vampires beat 2023 player of the year, Simon Nielsen, on Boros Heroic 3-1 in the finals. Simon Nielsen’s 4th (!!) top 8 at a major event in the last year! 3 PT top 8s and top 8 at Worlds. Amazing year for him!

Does anyone else not draft as much as you would on arena because of how expensive it is?...

To claim your prize, go to your decks page in Arena and import the list below or add the cards to a new deck (you do not have to craft them):...

So I’ve always wanted an Enchantress deck, but never had the cash when I was playing legacy. But now we’re suddenly playing Commander and I think it might still be fun to give Enchantress a go…...

It’s really hard to pass up artifact hate and creature +PW hate, but it’ll be a minute before I can get copies of it....

The writer of the Murders at Karlov Manor, Seanan McGuire has made blog posts with her thoughts on each of the chapters. Neat if you want some more insight on the story...

It seems like all of the conversation about the meta has fragmented into a bunch of discords and paywalled data aggregation. Where does an aspiring serious player go to fill in the 2-3 years of missed meta knowledge?

In my school years I used to play a casual format with my friends we called „King and Flanks“ (german „König und Flanken“). Here is what I remember rule-wise:...

Previously, if you opened an alternate style in draft, you could change it to the regular card image. However today i opened the battle cry vamp with an alternate art but the button to change art style in the draft deck builder is gone. Does anyone know how to do this in your draft deck now or have they removed this option?

I primed Chat by asking it to make me a deck built around Lyzolda, the Blood Witch with a focus on token generation and sacrificing creatures....

I want to improve my french skills, and thus want to combine MTG and the language. Also want some experience to play commander. Suggestions much appreciated!
