Hi, i have a question regarding stack resolution of effects that requires a player to perform an action, while said player reaches 0 Life.
If i create multiple copies of [[Doom Foretold]] and pass the turn, all will trigger at my opponent upkeep and the effects will enter the stack. Let say i control 4 copies and my opponent is at 3 Life, while unable to sacrifice a permament.
The first 2 will trigger, he will lose 2 life, discard and i will gain 2 life, draw and sacrifice Doom Foretold. He will lose the game at the end of the resolution.
Now, what happens to the 2 remaining triggers? Do they resolve as if the opponent cant sacrifice the permanent, or because there isnt a player anymore they fizzle and the stack empties?
I am the controller of the permanents, but the opponent is the one supposed to make decisions about which permanent to sacrifice as the trigger resolves.
In a funny way i would prefer if they fizzle, as there is a possibility of me making much more then 4, taking 1 opponent out but decking myself out as well.
Hello folks! My newest MTGStocks article is available for viewing. Taking a turn away from my traditional series, I discuss some fun hypotheticals, namely a handful of cards from the Universes Beyond: Fallout set that I think would be fun in Modern, while still being relatively balanced in the current meta (which admittedly is in a bit of turbulence).
Let me know what you think of my picks! What cards from Universes Beyond: Fallout and other UB sets do you wish were legal in Modern?

So I know that with its release recently, [[Leyline of the Guildpact]] has drawn attention for its Domain synergy and being able to turn all lands to every basic land type.
My question: is there a card that does something similar for creatures the player controls (makes them multicolored)? Or at the very least, change them to dual colored creatures?
Wanting to make a multicolored theme deck while including some mono colored cards as well.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

MOM marketed us getting a bunch of our favorite characters from various planes interacting together. But what we got was, a bit less exciting.
OTJ on the other hand, is the set where all our favorite characters from various planes are interacting, and now with cowboy hats!
Kellan Joins Up - GWU
Legendary Enchantment (Rare)
When ~ enters, you may exile a nonland card with mana value 3 or less from your hand. If you do, it becomes plotted.
Whenever a legendary creature enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.

I'm looking for a card that does something like this:
When ~ enters, choose two creature types.
Creatures of each chosen type are also the other type.
(my wording isn't precise, but I'm just trying to get the idea across)
I know about stuff like [[Arcane Adaptation]] and [[Maskwood Nexus]] but I'm trying to see if there's a lower mana value alternative that would fit a "dual-creature type" deck.
I (34F) live in a small town in Indiana between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne (about an hour from each). I just moved here not long ago, have zero friends, and am new to Magic. I’m looking for people to play and learn with. Any recommendations on where to go? I’ve obviously googled some places, but am nervous to just show up. I was hoping I’d be able to talk to someone from the area. I need friends! Thanks!
Is there a short way to add items from your saved list to the cart? Or, most probably, change the sellers for them all so I can add them. I'm just hoping I don't have to go through the 40+ cards individually to change the seller.
Hey Everyone,
My name is John and I am currently completing a research project at university for my final year. This project focuses around MTG and its digital platforms.
My main project activity is producing and releasing a survey that asks magic players for their opinions about MTG and its digital platforms. The link attached is the survey I have created.
It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to answer and it would be massively appreciated. Have a read of the introduction information before starting.
Many thanks 🙂
Hi, i got back into magic last year and picked up some perfect fits for some of the prettier cards i bought. the ones i got from the shop fit very tightly around the card, and it was a little difficult to put them in the sleeves - but they fit wonderfully in the end, and would slide nicely into the dragon shields without issue.
but since then, our local shop has changed which perfect fits they keep in stock and the owner doesn't remember the name.
Whatever brand he got slides off and is far too lose for my liking, and then i tried to get some KMC perfect fits on amazon cause they looked familiar - but they aren't it either. same issue, too lose.
Anyone have any idea which brand they may have been? they were just clear top loaded perfect fits.
thanks!
I feel like the wording on the second ability is slightly ambiguous, and I’m not seeing anything in the ruling or others’ questions that clarifies it fully. Does the double draw only affect your turn, or is it saying that if it’s an opponent’s turn, then even your first draw on their turn would double?
Hey all, building a land destruction deck and need help trimming out some fat.. I don't really want the deck to be "good", and it certainly isn't, but i do need help trimming out some redundancies. The main theme I'm going for is "destroy all opponents lands, and hopefully my lands are indestructible for the turn." A lot of mana rocks are in it, and not sure how many to keep etc. Normally I don't have any trouble building a deck but this one is stumping me trying to make it at least fairly well balanced card-type-wise. Any help and suggestions is appreciated!!
And just cause I know land destruction is controversial, our rule 0 is you can try anything once, and then it might be forbade after. I’m playing this fully intending to not play it ever again after the first time.
Needs about 22 cards to remove still. The list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/xCJsNOAee0OZFO7MV0O9Jw
Do you guys think the cost for the fallout collector boosters box will come down? I’m seeing 425$ per box around average price, I want one but that’s a steep price
do the copies made by Myra ever enter the battlefield? I'm curious if you can copy them with the recently announced Stella lee, wild card.
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.
Hi! I just started playing commander, and my only deck is a Morska,
deep sea clue upgrade. It works fine, and on a couple of occasions,went really close to winning.
But in my group of friends, one player keeps stomping us, and he plays a Raggadragga commander with a couple of infinite combos and a lot of trample creatures... Im starting to hate that, and I want a new deck, something to counter that thing and possibly win.
I love grixis, and I was looking at Lynde cheerful tormentor and nekusar wheels. But both seem too slow against raggadragga, and I don't wanna spend 70$ on a losing deck.
Lynde seems perfect for fun but also underpowered. Nekusar seems powerful and fun but lacks survivability early game.
What do you suggest?
Had a great game last night with my buddy but we are still trying to figure out who actually won. I am 99.8% sure it was him (player 1), but we just could not find definitive answers for 3 of our questions.
Player 1. Has 23 Life. Has Raider's Wake, Megrim and Lilliana of the Veil
Player 2. Has 3 Life. Has a Master of Cruelties equipped with a Whispersilk Cloak on it.
Turn starts for Player 2. Draw card and play Bloodletter of Aclazotz
I start combat phase and attack with Master of Cruelties which can't be blocked due to whispersilk. The fact that his life "becomes" one we assumed he lost 22 life which would trigger Bloodletter's ability and double the lost life.
and now he realized he could use Liliana's +1 ability to have each play discard a card. which would trigger Raider's Wake and Megrim thus dealing 4 damage to me.
Does the Liliana/Raider/Megrim actions happen at instant speed thus going on the stack over bloodletter's damage?
Lastly to complicate this more. I have a deflecting swat in hand. Could that be used to re-direct the damage from Raider's Wake or Megrim since it can't redirect the action from Lilly?
Three Questions:
Master of Cruelties/Bloodletter Damage
Wake/Megrim Speed and Position
Deflecting Swat Capabilities
