Banding has no defense. It was simply not updated to reflect tramples update and has been broken since.

I was summoned from Noah the Gathering's youtubeversal game.

You are a Ridiculous madman...teach me your ways wise one

For things like Persecute and Cabal Therapy. It is detrimental for you to "name a card/color" before they respond since if it is a whiff then they can decide not to counter it. Correct way to play these is to say "I cast Persecute, do you counter?" and then choose after the resolution. Apparently this is not true for "target" spells like bolt in which you DO need to choose a target at declaration of the spell. However what you can do, is to say "I target you with a Bolt" and then after it resolves, redirect the damage to a Planeswalker.

Just finished putting a deck in top loaders. Thank you for the inspiration, but I think I'll stop here, at least for now. It's too big for any deck box I have XD

Hey man, I’m back. Been two months, still just wanna make sure you’re alright. You come off as the swellest most genuine dude, and some of us internet strangers want to get some good karma and check in on you. Anyways, be well, stay happy

I really like the idea of the well but am I misunderstanding it? How would there ever be more than one card in it? You put a card into the well while it is empty and then look at the bottom card of the well (the one you put there) and cast it.

Wow fish is REALLY funny, easy subscribe

When I can, I save damaged cards (not MTG) from going in the garbage.

Hilariously dry

This is why I can't go play in real life. Nerds are just ridiculous. Pompous dweebs who aren't friendly to you unless you know everything about mtg. Most uninviting game ever

Here's mine. Doubling effects dont work with cards like volo that create token copies of creatures. Deathtouch trample still works the same on a creature with indestructible. Opponents choose the order of damage modifiers happen. Doublestrike doesn't attack twice if it kills blocker in first swing but will if it has trample. Magic is literal. Except all the times it isn't.

Wouldn’t they be good to sort of get the outline of the topic? Because if you were more serious, you would look further into the topic, especially now that you know what you’re looking for?

I've always liked banding ever since I first discovered it on some old cards I got from a friend when he sold his collection off to me around 10 years ago. I think the reputation it has for being confusing is more myth than fact, an urban legend built up over the long years since it last ever saw any serious play. Even if it were perhaps overly complex for its time, it would probably fit just fine if it were introduced as a new mechanic in today's context, after all the complexity creep that's built up over the decades. The one thing that might hold it back would be that the attacking side can be a little bit counterintuitive, since when explained as "your creatures team up to attack or block as a group", people often get confused that this actually *negates* the value of flying and similar forms of evasion in your attacking band. But this is easily remedied by a simple recontextualization of the concept: Your Benalish Hero isn't riding your Mesa Pegasus to soar over your opponent's blockers, the Mesa Pegasus is swooping down to reinforce the Benalish Hero in fighting the blocker. Attacking bands are out to *punish* blockers by their strength in numbers, not evade them.

Is that caravan from whiplash i hear? 🤨🤨🤨

The only problem with Bands was that the creatures with Bands were bad. To fully use Bands ability, the creature needs to be at least 1/2. That way the group is given an extra Power, and you can use the 1/2 to absorb a damage point without killing anything. The only Bands creatures they made stronger than 1/1 were WAY too expensive. Even a 1W 1/2 with bands would have been worthwhile. But a 3W 2/2 was not.

My favorite thing is how abilities can trigger and not go on the stack yet. I learned of this in my Hidetsugu and Kairi commander deck which runs a bunch of clone cards. Hidetusugu and Kairi has an etb and death trigger, and is a legendary creature. So if I go to clone it without something that removes the legend rule, the clone will enter and the etb will trigger, and before it's even put on the stack, state based actions are checked, so it dies to the legend rule which trigger the death trigger also before the etb is put on the stack. The etb and death triggers then go on the stack at the same time, allowing me to put the death trigger on first, so it resolves last

this deserves way more views

I'm sure I heard that in a tournament, a guy took an warning because he "added" his mana AFTER casting the spell, so, this is the reason why I think we have to "add" mana already BEFORE casting the spell. You seems to say the opposite, which make me confuse.

I fed a Sorrows Path to my gerbils, and I'll do it again. Only an idiot would put it in a hard case.

I learned that second rules interaction with my favorite commander: Grenzo, Dungeon Warden. If you have Grenzo on the field with an Ashnod's Altar, you can actually sacrifice Grenzo to pay for his own ability. This is because you first declare the ability's activation, and then move to paying costs, which is done with mana abilities, such as Ashnod's Altar's ability. As a result, you can declare you'll be using Grenzo's ability and then sacrifice Grenzo as part of the mana ability used to pay for it. Wild stuff.

The stupidest rules interaction of all time, IMO, is Wall of Boom. It was short lived and hilarious. Tl;Dr for a period of time in order to make Time Vault work there was a period "between" turns, you could activate Wall of Roots an arbitrarily large number of times, and then win with a Magma Mine.

You think these are bad? Get a load of this horseshit: MTG rules, 121.c **draw** is defined as the act of taking the top card off of your deck and putting it into your hand. Yet the Explore mechanic, which specifically says to “take the top card off of your deck and put it into your hand”, is **not** considered drawing a card. Fuck that.

Why would you want to pick the card you discarded with tortured existence? If allowed , wouldn’t that just send it from your hand to grave and back and cost 1 black? Why do that?

Came back here after MH3 to see how a certain bird wizard compared to Banme

You were right, these are competely logical to me and I feel the need to roast you for this

Hey man, just popping in to say I miss ya. I’m just a random internet stranger with no bearing on your life or anything, and I know it’s weird for me to “miss” someone I’ve never met, but you just really give off an all around good vibe as a dude, and I hope things in your life are going well. I’ve got fingers crossed I’ll see you again someday! Maybe I’ll be a content creator by then, unlikely because I’m far too lazy at my core, but the dream exists nonetheless. Stay well, hope all is well, and farewell.

I will use Banding just to combine a monstrous [[Hundred-Handed One]] with a [[Stuffy Doll]].

I always say: damaged cardes still aay the text. It does what it says. What it looks like doesnt matter

I like how split second works as is. It rewards playing niche cards like willbender and other triggered abilities.

In your Bolt example, you can tap mana and just have it before you cast a spell as well. It's not wrong. It's the way it used to work in Magic before 6th edition as well--you HAD to tap lands first (someone got DQed from a big event for not doing this after being repeatedly warned too). Tapping the mana first and then announcing the spell is fine in almost all cases. It's not going to matter unless you're trying to cast Tendrils of Agony at 1 life with a City of Brass and you need the tap trigger to go under the Storm copies so you can live. (I've done that in a tournament.) In fact, City of Brass is one of the few reasons this rule matters at all. Chromatic Sphere is another (note that Chromatic Star fixes this). When that card was designed but not released (as it came in Invasion, after 6th edition by about a year), you needed to activate it first, so there was no drawing a card while you were playing its mana ability originally. They try not to design cards like this anymore, Sevala being a big exception and bit of a mistake. If they printed her now, they'd probably make her ability only work when you can play an instant to avoid having to back up.

My vote for the stupidest is Kess with adventure spells. The rules plainly state that cards with Adventure are not instants and sorceries anywhere but the stack. Therefore, Kess should not be able to see those cards in your graveyard because she says "instant or sorcery card" and cards with adventure are permanents (usually creatures, but some enchantments). So what you do is just say "I'm putting this card from my graveyard on the stack." If you can't do that, you've performed an illegal action and the game unwinds. But Kess now says "Oh, that came from the graveyard. And now it's on the stack. It's an instant or sorcery too! So cast it then!" In other words, casting Adventures with Kess works because you take an illegal action that becomes legal after you do it because of Kess. (Lier works similarly.)

Hey i know you have not uploaded for 1 year, but love to see you hop back on RUclips again ❤

I use baton of morale and its really good. Def worth it and you can do weird tricks

Wonder if homeboy is compensating for something

"When you do": "I'm gonna make things even more confusing"

Any of the legendaries with the grandeur ability, chromatic sphere, word of wind and suppression field. Grandeur --- Discard a card with the same named "this creature": do things. You give an extra 2 mana cost increased to this with suppression field. You activate grandeur, it goes to the stack waiting to be paid for. Since you can pay multiple type of cost in the order you want, you pay the mana firdt with chromatic spheren who let you draw a card without using the stack. You replace the draw with word of wind by a bounce effect. You bounce the creature with grandeur to your hand. You finish paying the grandeur activation by discarting the card that was it's source in the first place.

I cannot really think of a way to easily word banding in a way that would be simple and fit in the reminder text of a card. But the concept of creatures with banding attacking/blocking together, and that their controller gets to choose how damage is dealt to them, is relatively easy to understand. I do honestly think that banding would be a lot less confusing to people if it wasn't accounting for both attacking and blocking. I do wish we could get more banding cards. I really want to build a banding themed commander deck lol

please do more of these! would be such a fun series

Everyone just assumes banding is hard because they've been told that. And since it isn't being printed anymore no one is being exposed to the glory that is banding

no magic aids, fells bad

With the printing of Anzrag the Quake Mole this has been vindicated. Slap banding on our friendly neighborhood mole and it gets real.

i think weird tech is great. as long as it doesn't ruin the game, crazy stuff that technically works is super cool.

Affinity for artifacts and lotus petals (or treasure tokens for that matter).

Over a couple of decades, I have bought and formed a huge collection library for the book series …..For Dummies and The Complete Idiot’s Guide To……My assessment about these 2 series? I feel each chapter seems like sitting in and listening to a 1 hour lecture about that particular title bcos of the usage of basic English and sometimes dry witty humour.

I think it's just difficult to design creature cards with Banding because it's essentially overpowered and the designers understood that from the start so made the creatures overpriced to compensate
