I mean, what if I missed out??

feels like this is disingenuous @kitchenaidusa.bsky.social

oh man that would be mega

*shakes fist*

who on the Commander Committee hates it when green players put lands onto the battlefield

we need to talk

I'm sure there's some exciting unbans today but OOOH can't wait to read about updates to the RESTRICTED list

i prefer

i'm gonna sue

I created a website to manage rotisserie drafts with friends: mtgrotisseriedraft.com

Have you ever done a Rotisserie Draft? They're so fun!!!

Thanks to @davetron.bsky.social and @gavinverhey.bsky.social for inventing the 12-set format and introducing me to it!

CHRONO TRIGGER CONTENT???

I'm not but that looks super fun! Thanks for the invite!

there's a description when you create a Brode Mode draft!

Basically, my drafts were going too long, and I was only playing against 3/7 of my friends each time. So it optimizes for faster events, less waiting, and more opponents.

Made a website to help manage draft tournaments for funsies:
TonightWeDraft.com

It's the return of @benbrode.bsky.social - this time doing REAL MAGIC! - along with the debut of @jimdavismtg.bsky.social doing Goblin shenanigans.

Who will prevail? The fliers (WHO REALLY FLY!) or the little green men?

LIVE: youtu.be/mghH7bh7qKI

hmm - it doesn't return cards with X in the mana cost (or weirdly, cards with {10} in the mana cost, either. (when you remove the first OR clause) Maybe others?
scryfall.com/search?as=gr...

this is tricky!

🤩🤩🤩

yeah the use case here is to see all cards in a rotisserie draft pool that are castable by the colors of mana I want to have in my deck. Seems like Scryfall should have this kind of search ability (given how much crazy stuff it already offers!)

i think i got there with this abomination.

((-mana:{U} -mana:{B} -mana:{R} -mana:{G} -mana:{C} -mana:{U/B} -mana:{U/R} -mana:{U/G} -mana:{B/R} -mana:{B/G} -mana:{R/G}) or (is:mdfc (c=w or c=c)) or (is:split and (mana:{W})))

Hmmm it's a bit weird but this doesn't work for split cards that have 2 sides - how do i find those where at least 1 side is castable by mono white?

OH! i can do this
is:mdfc (c=c or c=w)

thank you!

Wandering Archaic not in this search result

@scryfall.com Any advice for how to search for MDFC's that are castable in a mono white deck? (not a commander deck, i don't care about identity). I expecting something like front_mana= and back_mana= but can't find a way to search the sides independently.

This was an incredible game

this card seems to imply a source for destruction, strangely.

Why? Murder and Bolt both don’t work against protection.

Some spells already specify when they aren’t the source. Whether that’s damage or otherwise. It’s easy to specify an exception.

In MTG, why do only damage spells tell you what the source of the effect is in the card text? And why do they use a different tense? Murder should either say "Murder destroys target creature" or Lightning Bolt should say "Deal 3 damage to any target".

damn this combo is nuts
