I’ve been building a horror/nightmare themed deck and I ran across this guy and he seemed like a good fit.

My question was how his Eerie trigger worked. Does it trigger whenever an enchantment enters by itself, or does a room have to be fully unlocked when the enchantment enters to get the tap and stun counter?

So i just recently got into mtg and when I'm looking at decks to build i notice for example a bunch have like 2 cavern of souls which brings the deck price up significantly. I was thinking of asking for them for christmas to make it easier to build a bunch of decks cheaper. Are there any other cards like this?

Is this even a good way to think about the game? Thanks!

If it's too broad I've been liking white/green blue/green decks.

Hey, I bought jumpscare precon and really liked it, so I decided to upgrade it with some cards from my collection. I think the deck plays fine but I feel like I can make it better or more consistent. What do you think about the deck overall? What would you change/remove/add?

Cards in the sideboard are carda that I consider adding.

Here's the decklist: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ZEcQRpT-Q0CAAxOwQeaOgA

RULES:

1. No stores or dealers selling on here. We won't stop stores from responding to sell posts with buy offers, though. At that point, it's up to the seller to accept or reject the offer.

2. Do not spam this thread. Your sell/trade offer(s) should be confined to one post per week. If you list multiple cards as separate orders, or multiple lots of cards as separate orders, do so in the same post with a clear delineation. As a seller, you may post whether you want offers within the thread or whether you want a private message. If you want to make this different for different listings, that's your prerogative. State what country you're shipping from and include shipping price+method for your own country. If you are willing to ship to other countries, say so.

3. No eBay posts.

4. If a card is sold/traded, edit your post and invalidate any pending offers for that card. "Short selling" is not acceptable here, since we're dealing in physical goods and shipping times may be an issue, especially if the buyer is a tournament player. Do not short sell cards.

5. Buyers: Post your offer directly underneath a sell listing, unless you are topping someone else's offer, in which case you should post directly underneath that offer.

6. Buyers: Feel free to post a "want" list.

7. For the sake of preventing identity theft and/or harassment, do NOT post identifying information (name, address, paypal info) in the thread.

8. No throwaway accounts.

9. Needless to say, we're Magic players. We don't necessarily have to pay in cash. It's entirely up to the seller whether to consider "2 Force of Will" as a higher/lower bid than $160.

10. There is also a deckbox.org trading area that can be used as well, at

http://deckbox.org/communities/reddit_mtg_trades.

If you have any comments about the rules rather than about a particular auction, feel free to discuss them here.

PAYPAL FEE INFO: (Quoted from Paypal)

Free when the money comes from PayPal balance or bank account.

2.9% + $0.30 USD when the money comes from a debit or credit card or PayPal Credit

MAILING INFO: See USPS Link.

SCAMMER INFO: I will not link it directly here, but be sure to check out the scammer list on deckbox before doing any trading to ensure yourself to having a safe trade!

You probably can't mail off more than one toploader in a normal envelope+stamp due to it being too rigid; and you shouldn't do this for more than $10-20 worth of cards anyway since there's no tracking. Get a bubble mailer and get it tracked.

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.

So, just as the title says, I'm looking to get into MTG. I have a whole bunch of common/uncommon cards that i bought online. I've looked into all of the colours, and I think a mono green deck is what interests me the most at this stage. Any advice for how to build one? I have a large variety in cards so any advice is appreciated! If you have any questions about the cards please let me know.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here has any tips for improving in deck building, mostly for standard. I've been playing for almost a year now and build a few of my own commander decks, mostly using EDHREC, but my LGS is considering starting a standard league in the new year and I'm interested in playing. My problem is that there aren't as many intuitive resources online for learning to build for standard.

I currently have one complete deck and one that is in the process of being made (both of which are linked below), however both feel like they don't really have any legs to compete with much. I'm finding that my problem is that I don't have much of a knowledge of cards that could fit in and it's difficult to find online as most decklists are either expensive or the same as each other.

I also struggle with noticing big picture interactions, as in I can see how one card will interact with one or two others, but it's difficult to connect the web of possible interactions in the deck. Beyond this I do use tools like Archidekt and follow general mana curve rules and try to build the land base accordingly.

If anyone has any tips, please help as I really like the game, it's just a little discouraging to attempt building a deck when it feels so difficult.

Previously mentioned decks:
Both are made using mostly Foundations cards so I've been limited as the rest of my collection appears to not be standard legal, according to the cards I've searched on Scryfall.

So I’ve been having a run around on finding cards that can replace what Channel can do and need a bit of help from more experienced players. Given that it states “Until end of turn, any time you could activate a mana ability, you may pay 1 life. If you do, add ◇” I get the concept but need help finding things I CAN use in Commander format.

On another note I previously wanted to use a combo similar to CHANNEL + NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE + VEDALKEN ORRERY if that helps specify!

Thanks in advance! 🧡

So ad the title says ehat is the difference between like a normal play booster and a moder horizon 3 booster

I have always wanted to try magic, and I have previousl try it on arena. Would like to ask, where should i start with? Have been eyeing the bloomburrow starter kit to play with my friend (also newbie) or are there any other place i should look into?

Basically as the title state.

Can I play am instant after the blockers are declared? My friend is saying that due to the rule change you can't play an instant. Please lol help me

Which Magic card names are only one word that is a verb? (I'm trying to make something for my kids)

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if Kindred is something the majority or minority of us enjoy, perhaps solely for collection purpose? One of my friends have all Sphinx and other one have all the Rebels.

Personaly, I collect Archon, not even by their stax nature, but more because I like flying cavaliers xD (altough cannot build a kindred deck with them).

You have some Tribe you like? Popular ones like Goblins or Dragons, or more rare ones like Horros or something? Let me know.

Cheers.

After a whole year trading, finally completed all 20 different boosters from Ravnica: Clue Edition. I really hate the wotc sold them as 8 random boosters instead of a whole "20 different packs in a single box" game.

Everything fit perfectly inside the Gamegenic CARDS’ LAIR 400+ using their cube pocket 15+ boxes, including some mini pens, dices and all the tokens that any card could generate (that are also not included... not even the treasures that are part of the core game mechanic... wotc really hate us).

Where can I find a virtual community to play commander on tabletop simulator in some what of a consistent weekly fashion? I see that table top simulator software looks legit and is on sale. For spell table it requires a bit more of a set up.

Live too far from any local card store and my friends are in another state smh

Barely getting into magic and I’m running the vampiric precon with Stefan as the commander.

I'm generally curious on what people use to scan their cards in for a digital collection if they do that at all. I've been meaning to get a handle on my collection and I figured if I can find a decent card scanner it would help me get a handle on my evergrowing collection.

I see eBay postings for complete factory sealed sets from wizard. How the heck do you get complete sets first hand?!

I'm looking to put together a fun, goofy deck to play with my cousins over the Christmas holiday, and the concept I've settled on is to build around [[Ghen, Arcanum Weaver]] and fill the board with all the big dumb enchantments that, in essence, add extra rules, like some kind of drinking game. Examples of what I'm looking for are [[Oppression]], [[Price of Glory]], and other universal effects that just make things stupid and don't necessarily make me a target. The goal is FUN toxicity!

So, what are your favorite enchantments that do this? What would make this deck chaotic fun?

is there a tool you can use to put in your collection of cards that will help build a deck for you? wanting to try out standard but I built my deck for commander so unsure the best way to go about cutting down cards so if there was a handy app or tool to do it that would be great.

We all know that Modern Horizons have been some of the most well-received sets (Nadu notwithstanding), and we know they will make another one in the future. So I was wondering what new-to-modern reprints you'd all like to see. For me I'd love to see some of the build-around cards from days of yore come back. Like Oversold Cemetery, Aquamoeba, and Clickslither.

Any suggestions? Viable concept?

I only play Arena (work keeps me away from shops for FNM).

thankf for any suggestions!

Hello,

I've been thinking over how to get my family and friends more interested in sitting down and learning to play magic. All I play is commander and want share this game I love with the people around me. I decided I wanted to create 4 decks that are beginner friendly, but maybe each doing something a little different. Perhaps showing off a slightly different play style per deck or showing what each color can do a little better. Either with showing off more of one card type (enchantments, artifacts, etc.) or being able to play stuff from exile or the graveyard or even creating tokens.

With that, I want each deck to include Green. I feel like as newcomer, green has easy concepts to wrap your head around with easy ways to ramp and play a couple big creatures. So I need Selesnya, Simic, Golgari and Gruul commander recommendations. I would love it if they were all the same mana value, but if they differ by 1 I'll still take it. A grouping that feels fair but each a little different would be ideal.

I have played with the idea of all 4 decks just being tribal and each representing a different creature type, but I couldn't decide which idea would be better to introduce new people too.

Anyways, I appreciate all feedback and recommendations! Thank you

I was wanting to make a EDH deck with Myrkul, Lord of Bones, and I was wondering: can the enchantments made with him die? I started thinking about this from reading the abilities for Barrenton Medic. Would they be able to die if given -1/-1 counters?
