unit01berserk asked: So my friend and I were talking a few weeks ago and said that Dark Ascension would be worse for humans (obvious) but we think in the third innistrad block it will be the rise of the humans. I just wanted to get your thoughts.

Pet peeve: Planeswalk =/= Plainswalk
jinmodscardfactory:
Note, however, that if you have both Gideon Jura and Aysen Highway, you can have a planeswalker with plainswalk.
…
Oh, why not? Yo dawg, we heard you like planeswalking, so we put plainswalk on your planeswalker so you can plainswalk while you planeswalk.
YO DAWG. xD

Anonymous asked: MTGfan Tumblr's goto Magic the gathering news, humor, and deck lists. I know that you're knowledgeable of the game of magic but why do you spam my dash with people not smart enough to go else where for their ruling questions? seriously more magic, less noobs.

gravewithoutaname asked: I have a question regarding That Which Was Taken: Can I use a single copy to make any number of my permanents indestructible, or can only one permanent be that way at a time with the card? The description states that I can tap it for four and put a divinity counter on any permanent other than TWWT, each permanent with a divinity counter on it is indestructible. What I'm curious about is do I...

hawk-hogan-deactivated20130411 asked: On Ajani's Pridemate and Soul's Attendant--when a player gains life from a creature hitting the field due to Soul's Attendant's effect, if there are multiple SAs on the field, does Ajani's Pridemate gain a +1/+1 counter in response to each Soul's Attendant's effect, or is the life gained all at once, in one instance?

blackblood asked: After declaring blockers, can a blocker be tapped for an ability while still blocking? For instance, if Abuna Acolyte was declared as a blocker to another 1/1, could Abuna then tap to use its first ability to prevent itself from dying while remaining as a blocker?

johnsinger asked: If I have a [random creature, for the sake of argument let's say Brass Squire} with TWO Trepanation Blades equipped, does the first activate, and then the second, milling the opponent two separate times, and boosting my Brass Squire's power two separate times? This is what I believe to be the case, but I'm just needing reassuring I guess.

neshalo asked: Can the Phantasmal Image come back from the graveyard if he used a red instant/sorc/planeswalker because it copied Chandra's Phoenix? Or dose it automatically lose all abilities when it hits the grave?

proposeaswiftorderlychange asked: This is something that keeps coming up. Can the attacking player play an instant after blockers are declared? For instance, if my friend tries to play vapor snag to remove my defender, I don't think he can because a blocked creature is blocked regardless. But what about a situation where you play something like Titanic Growth to beef up your attacker in response to a defender?

Anonymous asked: I have a question. Are all of the cards released in the "graveborn" deck legal in standard due to the fact they are reprinted? Like if I wanted to make a black Innistrad deck with avatar of woe in it, would that be legal to play in a standard tournament?

Anonymous asked: If I have a Legendary Zombie in my commander zone (EDH) and cast Rooftop Storm, I can cast him for free, correct? If so; when he's died and now requires the additional 2 Colorless, is he still free or does he now cost Free + 2?
