Why doesn’t this card have the mechanic “web slinging”

Complete flavor fail. They have the perfect mechanic to resemble that this character web slings and they fucked it up. Do better wizards

Guy at the store tonight got mad when I used a [[Talk To The Paw]] after I’d just [[I Hate Mondays]]’d his commander. Said something about needing to call them by their “““real names””” but he just needs to get with the times, right? I’ll just [[Hang In There]] until people accept things

I need the bot to [[Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!]] the links to [[Talk To The Paw]], [[I Hate Mondays]], and [[Hang In There]].

Why exactly is this an Alchemy card? It works perfectly in paper, it has a cool artwork depicting a story moment, and it got a somewhat unique effect. So why can't I play it without proxying?

Combat decks are getting out of hand

I played combat many years ago with commanders like [[Kresh the Bloodbraided]] and [[Uril, the Miststalker]] and while very strong, I didn’t think they were anything special. But today something changed my mind.

I built [[Colossal Dreadmaw]]. You know where this is going. This deck is so easy to play and so powerful that it feels like it just pilots itself. You just have to be aware to not miss your combat step and don’t be too greedy when declaring attackers — actually, never mind, it has trample. Be as greedy as you want.

Almost every card is a variation of “6 power”, “trample” and “costs six mana”, so if you have just one of each, you’re golden. Half the time it’s all three on the same card. What is there even left to decide?

It’s so easy and powerful it’s nasty. It makes me think that having so many cards with similar effects defeats the singleton idea of the format. Not many years ago the best you could do was a six-mana 6/4 with [[Craw Wurm]], and it didn’t even have trample. Now I’m running [[Terra Stomper]] and [[Enormous Baloth]] as Dreadmaws two and three. Where does the power creep end?

So, what do you think about this? Is this only happening to combat decks, or are other archetypes getting spoiled too? I’ve heard people are doing some genuinely degenerate stuff with [[Grizzly Bears]] tribal.

Where is Bolas now?

After he escaped the meditation plane (Which I don't understand how did he escaped if he was desparked) he's just gone? Ugin said he was again a huge threat to the multiverse and never again I heard the name bolas be spoken, he's taking a sabatic year or something?

Very hard to read cards when they're rotated 90 degrees, please help!

Please help, I just got into Magic The Gathering, and the game is tons of fun.

However, whenever I tap my lands for mana and creatures for attacking all the text is also rotated and really hard to read! What was WoTC expecting when they came up with that?

Should cards have both an upright and tapped versions of the same text in the card so it's always readable?

Let me know if you have any workarounds.

AITA for choosing love?

I ([[Floral Spuzzem]]) have been attacking for four turns now, trying to destroy opposing artifacts for my controller, who has nine poison counters. Last turn, my opponent played an [[Annex Sentry]] and attacked my controller, and I blocked her. She tried to step past me to get to my controller, and I stepped in front of her and we had a *moment* where our eyes met and our hands touched and we felt something special, and then the combat phase ended and my controller's turn began.

So here's where I might be TA. My controller orders me to attack the enemy, which is fine, but then I find out he wants me to destroy Annie (that's the sentry's name btw, she gave me her number!!). There's no blockers, so I *could*, but I see Annie looking at me with this pleading expression and I decide I don't want to destroy her. My controller gets angry and tells me I've cost him the game by choosing not to destroy target artifact under an opponent's control. But I'm allowed to choose not to, it says on my card! He can target Annie all he likes but it's *my* choice to destroy, not his, and I chose love.

So we go off on a [[Secret Rendezvous]] together instead, and then my controller's opponent proliferates, killing him.

So Reddit, AITA for choosing not to destroy target artifact under an opponent's control? AITA for choosing *love*?
