Okay interesting thank you so much for always answering my questions!

So even though the library, or graveyard, or certain things in exile use the term “pile” in the CR, the toy maker is looking specifically for the word “pile” on a card?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Hey Matt! what is a pile? According to the glossary it’s a “temporary grouping of cards”. But according to 406.5 cards put in exile that may come back are put in separate “piles”. so would Celestial Toymaker count my Ghostly Flicker as “grouping cards in a pile?”

Thank you for the response!

Yes! They’ve updated the rules so that abilities that say the zone they operate from max speed works from there as well

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Hey Matt would love a bit more clarity on Magar of the Magic Strings. Where are the copies created and where is it being cast from?

Thank you for this. This is actually very helpful!

I'm honored

Hell yeah it was a good time!

I had so much fun it was great meeting you!

It was a good time brother! You killed it with the events!

YouTube video by Keeping It Casual How do abilities work? #mtg

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Maybe this is a bit of a silly question, but how do abilities work exactly in Magic the Gathering?

Haha I appreciate the candid answer. Thank you!

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Hey Matt! I know you used to be a rules manager so I’m curious to know about how you would rule this interaction or if we could get an official answer from a rules manager. Appreciate all that you do thank you!
