Sorry, I'm not your usual OP but the old legacy general was the very last thread in the catalog and over the bump limit so I'm making this to ask a question. To start the actual thread off, pic related is my babby: Landstill with thopter/sword as a wincon along with the traditional Factory beats.

My question is about Portal Three Kingdom cards. I bought some P3K basic lands and they're nothing like any other card I've seen. Much glossier than other cards. See pic for comparison with 5th edition card. Everything seems fine other than the texture so is P3K just like that?
Daniel Turner
Since I can't decide: new mother of runes or old mother of runes? Which artwork do you guys prefer?
Chase Butler
new one is shit yo.
Nolan Morales
It's nice when other people help out. Also Oops All Spells is still missing. Good work
Noah Powell
Is Parfait fun?
Evan Morris
Tier 1: Old card altered with the new art Tier 1/1.5: Old card Tier 2: New card
I do like the new art but prefer the old (pre-8th) frame to newer and ever more so than the =>m15 frame
Oliver Rivera
The old art is iconic, but Nielsen is one of my favorite mtg artists. It's your call, but you chose new, then from the duel deck.
Dylan Ramirez
Check the dot matrix patterns. I don't think P3K lands are expensive enough to be worth faking, so I wouldn't worry too much.
IMHO the new art > the old art.
Not a fan of the holo seal?
Camden Hall
That and because it's a rare in EMA. The duel deck rarity was, as it should be, uncommon. It's just a personal preference.
Carter Jackson
Your are a planeswalker with moral fiber. Don't ever change.
It's hard to goldfish with because a lot of its fun comes from interacting and responding to a player's choices. That being said, I don't like prison decks very much, but I do like Parfait as a concept. tl;dr Yes
Does Chandra count
Wyatt Lewis
Reeeee where the fuck is the modern general
Henry Torres
it sucked so hard it turned inside out and left this mortal coil.
Robert Gutierrez
Why play Modern Affinity when you can play Legacy Affinity?
Liam Myers
what this guy said
you should just join us. we can even advise you on how to turn your favorite modern deck into a superior legacy deck.
Samuel Johnson
I closed tab on the last one when people were crying for a bolt ban. better off dead tbqh
Blake Smith
r u 4 reel
Lucas Peterson
>I closed tab on the last one when people were crying for a bolt ban. better off dead tbqh
Lmao that's rich
Then again I still remember that I also have to play Modern due to the shortage of Legacy events in my area
Leo Martinez
I saw that, pretty quality.
Lucas Campbell
Oh god, the Bolt ban discussion was almost screencap worthy. That's like banning Brainstorm from Legacy.
Jayden Powell
>tfw the only thing I can play in my area is casual or draft
I feel you, most people have a modern deck around here but almost noone has a legacy deck.
and I don't like draft since the people at that place take it waaaay too serious. They only play other formats once every blue moon but if they do it's way more fun for some reason.
Jack Cruz
I'm fairly sure at least one of the bolt-bothered posters was trolling. Unfortunately, given the amount of "I have no answer to X, BAN X!" loudmouths in the MTG community, it's hard to differentiate between trolls and fools.
Anthony Rivera
>I feel you, most people have a modern deck around here but almost noone has a legacy deck.
Same, everyone has multiple EDH and Modern decks but few Legacy, and the only other consistent Legacy player has Lands.
I tried EDH too but I was "hated" out of it since I had no idea Oloro was considered OP (I knew it was good but not OP) and everyone just ganged up on me. Went for like a month, people just focused on me and my deck wasn't even super tuned.
tl;dr dear diary
I'm not a huge drafting fan of the "NWO" sets but enjoy pretty much everything Innistrad and before.
Juan Sanchez
How's Tezzerator in the current metagame? I haven't played for a while and want to get back into it. I'm currently running UB but all the lists I see on mtgotop8 seem to be Grixis.
John Robinson
I actually enjoy modern, but maybe that's just because I'm playing the best deck in the format
I figured at least some of it was trolling, but insider want to hang around that general either way. I prefer comfy discussion.
Zachary Turner
>I actually enjoy modern, but maybe that's just because I'm playing the best deck in the format
I don't mind Modern that much, I also play Grixis Delver there too and do pretty well. Could definitely be a lot worse! Prefer playing Legacy obviously in any case.
Grayson Foster
I actually like modern too, but I don't touch the modern general here.
Juan Jackson
Grixis gets to run Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast or Dack, which are both very powerful. Daretti generates blocks and kills creatures as early as turn 2 off a sol land signet opener, he's a great removal engine and a powerhouse vs "fair" decks but doesn't win the game on his own, which can be an issue. Dack loots, pitching Sword or just fodder and steals Batterskulls which you can re-equip or sac to Foundry, Daretti or transmute. Kohlagans Command is also a powerful sideboard card you get access to as well as an extra color for EE if you want. I think it's a decent pick in the meta, no one is really prepared for it and having Chalices backed up with Force is really hard to deal with. Here's my current list I'm playing online: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/18-10-16-ub-tezz/ I think Silas Renn is crazy powerful, he's a deathtouch blocker when he needs to be and when he connects I can re-cast a countered artifact. Significantly "cast", so I can cast my Chalices on whatever I need. He eats counters and removal like nothing else though, of course. 1 of Crucible lets me hit them with the Wasteland Crucible as well as just fight through a lot of Wastelands on the other side of the board, synergy with Mox Diamonds and the artifact lands, which I can sac to Thopter and replay and sac again.
Silas Renn is sick, hoping he had a place in Tezzerator. Now if only I can find a home for Breya, the ultimate magic waifu
Hunter Morris
Master Transmuter is a more pure esper waifu
Andrew Jenkins
Yeah that's true but in the grand scheme of things, Breya is best
Blake Lewis
M14 Duress looks so much better with a white border.
Robert Brown
God I fucking hate you
Matthew Reyes
You're still on my shit list, but now you're less high on my shit list. Black border core set Duress is top tier.
Andrew Flores
OKAY I READ THAT WRONG. NOW YOU'RE EVEN HIGHER ON MY SHIT LIST.
Jason Wood
i fukin loled
Andrew Nguyen
trip/namefags were a mistake.
Connor Lee
they're the reason this general exists. doesn't make them less obnoxious though.
Jacob Johnson
Pictures! I need pictures of spiderm- white bordered Doomsday!
David White
lol the damage is on theme at least
Luis Turner
I may finally get to play magic again next Friday and want to finish up the remanimalator deck I have almost finished. What is the "best" version lately? I have the core of UB but all the lists I look up splash green for decay or red for izzet charm (or both)
Gavin Gray
What the fuck
Samuel Stewart
Found it at my local shop. I told him I'd give him $5.he said 15. We met at 8. He wouldn't tell me how much they paid for it until after I bought it. They paid $1 for it. Fucking cheapskates.
Hudson Perez
I'll post my work later. At a party
Jack Robinson
Have fun, great laid.
Dominic Roberts
Well it's full of larpers.
Carson Young
2 dudes just traded shirts it's getting wild.
William Martinez
If there's an Urza Block version of a relevant card, I always run at least one. Urza Block is Best Block.
Pic related. Seriously starting to wonder whether Standard is a better format than Modern.
>"I have no answer to X, BAN X!" loudmouths in the MTG community
There's an ongoing discussion on The Source about whether to ban Brainstorm that reaches pretty catastrophically funny levels of nonsense. I've read a number of posts claiming that Brainstorm and Ponder form a shell for almost every good deck in Legacy. Pic related again.
>I tried EDH too but I was "hated" out of it... everyone just ganged up on me.
Just started playing EDH a couple of weeks ago. I've got the same problem. Living Death for Archetype of Endurance, Sire of Insanity, Blazing Archon, and Iona is apparently nofuntimes. Pic thrice related.
Just wait until I find a copy of Avacyn...
My God; looks like it was printed in 1993.
Zachary Allen
I mean, Chandra's pretty hot.
Josiah Robinson
In regards to edh you just have to find the right group.
My group is >teysa combo + 20 tutors.dek >melek "jerk off for twenty minutes" who usually ends games with a 20+ storm count empty the warrens and a few consecutive time walks >mimeoplasm graveyard shenannigans who does all kinds of stupid shit >teferi no fun mono-u who prefers knowledge pool or stasis locks to actually winning And a few other people who seldom play with us who also play appropriately obnoxious things.
They never bitch about anything because they're doing stupid nigh intolerable shit themselves.
Noah Gray

Yeah I read through that and couldn't fathom it one way or the other
>Just started playing EDH a couple of weeks ago. I've got the same problem. Living Death for Archetype of Endurance, Sire of Insanity, Blazing Archon, and Iona is apparently nofuntimes. Pic thrice related.
Lmao the last week I was there, I pulled off a heist that was rage-inducing for everyone else but rib crushingly hilarious for myself. Everyone was focusing on me, although I did have a Propaganda out to weather it a bit. Dropped a Humility next turn, the glares were beautiful. My combo was the classic Rest in Peace + Helm of Obedience to knock them out one by one lel
Eli Cruz
>I've read a number of posts claiming that Brainstorm and Ponder form a shell for almost every good deck in Legacy. It must be strange living in a alternate timeline where Chalice was never printed.
Tyler Moore
Jesus, I'd either run some degenerate Narset or Animar combo deck against that meta.
Colton Lewis
>It must be strange living in a alternate timeline where Chalice was never printed.
Word
Anecdotally I've noticed it comes down to you're either Chalice, Brainstorm, or a deck with few reserved list cards like D&T or Nic Fit
Wyatt Turner
A female approached me and told me I had nice hair. I thanked her and then she asked if I was a homosexual.
Caleb Collins
And then you reply with "I can be if you're into that"
Ayden Morgan
SMOOTH M O O T H
Eli Fisher
That's happened to me before, minus the hair part (ok, that pun wasn't intentional).
Jackson Long
Here's what is currently white bordered in ddft. HOPING to finish the rest tomorrow.
Kevin Edwards
>a female approached me No female approaches guys who white border their black bordered cards.
Kayden White
the dark rits you bothered to white border aren't even the same edition
Joshua Edwards
>white bordered tops REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Christian Wood
You're the hero magic deserves.
Acetone you say?
Cooper Green
Fucking autism
Alexander Jones
Buy beta duals then white border them
Connor Edwards
I want to build a commander deck and would like some help. I want to start off with smokestack, crucible, wasteland, and stripmine. I'll probably play gifts and intuition. Exploration effects seem good.
Anthony Moore
There is a EDH general, that'd be the best place to get help
Hudson Jenkins
Okay guys, I desperately need your help: I got a bad case of the paranoia.
I recently bought an Unlimited Underground Sea (I think they're neat, don't judge), and am worried as fuck that it's fake.
It passes the light test, but I'm not sure if there are any particularities I should pay attention to when examining the dot pattern (especially around the "Land" bit).
I
Jonathan Sanchez
sharpie your duals black bordered
Nicholas Rogers
Show us the hopefully crisp black of the text in the text boarder.
Ian Gray
while hilarious, that might be too much even for me.
yeah acetone (and painters tape) does the trick. Basically just nail polish remover, but you have to make sure it's 100% acetone or you'll end up with soggy abused cards. you also have to be careful not to damage them. It works best on cards that aren't to beat up already, because you have to rub fairly forcefully, and it can exacerbate existing damage. practice with some basic lands or something first.
Jonathan Cooper
Finally sacrificed my shekel collection to buy duals and join the legacy family. My poor shekels.
Blake Lewis
We're all very proud of you. What are you going to build?
Oliver Mitchell
Reanimator.
Still cheaping out slightly running 2x underground 1x Bayou 1x Tropical but in proxy play testing most games I never see or need more than 3-4 lands.
Hudson Barnes
Are you building UR painter? If not you're a communist.
David Harris
Welcome home, good nigga.
Lucas White
Sorry if this' a wrong thread, but I was wondering if the Planeswalkers get anything like a Genius Loci or something from their Land connection, aside from the coloured magics?
David Wood
Is this a lore question or a gameplay question? Honestly confused.
Adrian Bailey
Das it mane.
Andrew Brooks
Need some more pics. Highest res you can manage. Rules text, gloss, against a real card if you have one.
Landon Morgan
It feels like it's printed separately, but due to the quality of my camera, and the lack of a loupe, it's difficult to know for sure? I think?
Noah Turner
That actually looks very good. Can you give us a shot of the whole card under good lighting?
Ryan Nguyen
I looked at your picture through my jewelers loupe. Seems legit to me.
Colton Wilson
I can take better pictures later, but maybe this gives you guys an idea.
Logan Walker
Lore?
Nathan Diaz
Sort of, I think. "Genius loci" was the Roman word for the spirit of a place, like the atmosphere of a cathedral or the somber mood of a graveyard. The closest answer I can give you is Nissa from the newest sets, particularly the Battle for Zendikar block where she became connected to the "spirit" of the whole plane. I'm willing to bet green Planeswalkers feel a genius loci much more than others. I don't think this concept has ever been explained by Wizards.
Wyatt Morgan
First thing that came to mind was the thing from Dresden Files and I was confused as fuck because don't remember there being a thread for that in ages
Dylan Anderson
Huh. That's pretty cool actually. Would they feel if something bad was happening, like if they had a city and it was under attack or destroyed?
Jaxson Edwards
Can't upload the scans due to being too big, but I've added a Dropbox link instead: (Remove the spaces)
Are the Land mana amounts canonical, or just a gameplay thing? Like, could you get 2 white, 2 black, 2 red from a city (like Seattle of Shadowrun)? Are the units of mana themselves a gameplay thing, like 2 units of White, or would it be "lots of white, more blue than red" in Lore?
Christopher Wright
It looks fine.
Jaxson Price
Those look completely real. Btw, I have never seen a high quality fake that passes the light test. They are usually thicker and use a black inner layer as opposed to blue.
Kevin Hughes
>when the lucy hits and you click post
Evan Wright
what the fuck does this post even say
Parker Fisher
Just a gameplay thing. Ravnica's probably manabonded to fuck because I guarantee you every street of that city produces every color of mana
