Sorry if this is a common post but I just want to gush.

I'm so glad that I didn't look up anything before hand. It was so hard, then scary, the beautiful!

Now I'm a little sad I won't get to relive it them same way again. Looking forward to guiding friends through though!

Hi All,
Looking for a bit of community feedback on the rulings for digital downshifts within our format.

TLDR: vote here

Background:
Currently the ruling is as follows;

Any card printed at common / uncommon anywhere (physical or digital)

But with the reveals of SIS downshifts for Arena, Gavin V confirmed that Pauper is not following MTGA rarities: https://twitter.com/GavinVerhey/status/1636088709966868480?s=20

Which brings up the question of what we want our communit

I only just noticed this today while looking for Dina in the Visual Guide, but all the others in the Strixhaven 5 feature prominently on their respective house command. Yet Dina isn't on the Witherbloom one, intead it's some other tree person, do we know why?

Or at least that's how I'm choosing to Interpret it...

From a recent blogatog

Please don’t use “real” to differentiate between Magic cards that you play and Magic cards other people play. It’s gatekeeping and it’s exclusionary. Everyone can play the way they enjoy and it’s just as “real” a game of Magic as how you play.

After reading this article on high variance decks, I was inspired to build Imoti.

The plan is to spend the first 3 turns ramping to 5, then cascade every turn from there. The multitude of big creatures should help to overcome board stalls, and value from cascading help compensate for the lack of other forms of card advantage.

The list is here, would love any feedback on it.

Hypothetically, I am playing some sort of temur edh deck, my opponents all agreed that I can R0 play [[Krarks other thumb]], which I have on the battlefield. I've also managed to get [[barbarian class]], [[pixie guide]] and [[wyll blade of frontiers]] into play, along with [[the space family goblinson]]. I now cast [[reckless endeavor]].

The bit I need checking is how many dice get rolled, and how the final result it calcualted. I assume it to be something like this:

• roll 2d12 for reckless endeavor
• but actually roll 3d12 and ignore the lowest for barbarian class
• but actually roll 4d12 and ignore the lowest for pixie guide
• but actually roll 5d12 and ignore th

So there's a father and son, and they're in an old fortune teller style caravan tent thing, with an (old?) Lady and a sick girl. The dad is telling the lady that he can cure the girl, but it'll cost all the money the lady has.

Sorry it's vague, might be able to recall some more very fuzzy details if pushed, but they might be wrong.

Basically name change effects...

If I mutate on top of biovisionary does the stack have

At the beginning of the end step, if you control four or more creatures named Biovisionary, you win the game.

Or

At the beginning of the end step, if you control four or more creatures named [[cardname]], you win the game.

Same for if the cards named is changed otherwise?

Apologies if it's been asked before, but does anyone know what happened to the unspoken realms podcast? It just kind of stopped.. https://unspokenrealms.wordpress.com/

Artisan EDH (aEDH) is an alternative Magic the Gathering Commander format intended to keep budgets low and fun interactive gameplay high. The format uses the regular Commander rules with the following restriction:

• Your entire deck must have been printed in Common or Uncommon.

For cards printed at multiple rarities, use the lowest one from both physical and digital prints.

Artisan EDH uses the official Commander ban list.

Why aEDH?

In recent years, WOTC has been printing more and more pushed commander cards, both in standard sets and in the commander precons. Each year we get new "must includes", and as power levels in our playgroups rise, the commanders from just a few years ago are

The original sticky is from 2 years ago, a time pre commander legends, when there were <100 legendary creatures at common/uncommon. For this reason the rules allowed rare cards as your commander only.
In the last few years we've had multiple made for commander sets, as well as WotC putting more of an emphasis on legendary creatures at lower rarities.
It's possibly time for an update to the sticky to simplify the rules to common / uncommon only and remove rares. What do you think?

Thought I'd drop an announcement for anyone here who might be interested.
r/ArtisanCommander is the new sub for the common/uncommon only format being popularised by the MMCast.
The format has picked up some buzz on Twitter, as well as being covered by the BMCast and an article on Card Kingdom.
