Doh! After all that, I realized that "Phase" must have been referring to "in the Combat Phase, but before Declare Attackers" i.e. the Beginning of Combat Step. I totally misunderstood that at the time and only came to the conclusion just now.

Done. Spidey: 8 Hand: 3 Library: 49 Battlefield: (U,U) Island x2 (U,U) Plains x2 (U) Field of Ruin (T: Add C to my mana pool.; 2, T, Sac ~: Destroy target nonbasic land that Oversoul controls. Each player searches his library for a basic land card, puts it onto the battlefield, then shuffles...

And hey, that's food for thought, I suppose. I thought it was clear, but I was the one who wrote it and I knew what I was thinking. Can't expect you to read my mind! :eek: Huh. Yeah, that is strange to me. Like, in my made-up example of the town with the library (in truth I did live in a town...

Firebomb incoming already. Spidey announced that earlier. Haven't rolled for it yet. So how are you guys spacing yourselves?

Anyway... UUD, Mountain, attack with my team. Blocks/responses/damage?

I mean, I actually agree with you on that. I find myself tempted to write some longwinded post and then I think, "But that's not what I should do! That's not what we're here for." On the other hand, I do have to crack up a little bit on this one because you almost make it sound like it's some...

Good question. The Horrible Forest Shambler has branches and vines all over its body. It cannot be flanked.

Yes, I think we generally agree. Reading back over it, I guess we were both imprecise in our terminology, which is bound to happen at times. I knew what I meant when I said "but not during" but I do see that it could be read in different ways and that trying to extract meaning from some of those...

Well, you could have one person go in ahead of the others and move into the space next to the monster without trying to go around it. Then you could have a row of three and have a total of four Warriors attacking the Shambler in melee. This would cut off the escape potential for the person who...

This isn't Linux Troubleshooting Storm: you get nothing for your puns. I'd meant to get to this properly already but I was interrupted by Super Smash Bros... In the meantime, I'll at least try to get things started... -The Power Phase is 3 for this turn. -Ty's Pit Training doesn't kick in...

Well, I specifically said, not during Declare Attackers. For pretty much the same situation as we had here, you know? Like, if I'm staring down an Emrakul, the Aeon's Torn and I am holding Cast Out, I might want to save it for Beginning of Combat so that I don't get surprised by something else...

No one cast any sorceries? :confused:

Done. Spidey: 12 Hand: 4 Library: 50 Battlefield: (U,U) Island x2 (U) Plains (U) Field of Ruin (T: Add C to my mana pool.; 2, T, Sac ~: Destroy target nonbasic land that Oversoul controls. Each player searches his library for a basic land card, puts it onto the battlefield, then shuffles his...

Right, but not during Declare Attackers if there are (undesirable) attack triggers on the board. Which, now that I think about it, is kind of a good reminder for me because I seem to play against a lot of creatures with attack triggers and they weren't so prominent in the past. Anyway... Cast...

https://www.coolstuffinc.com/a/vorthosmike-11262018-artists-boycott-magic-fests I've never attended a GP (or Magic Festival or whatever) and have nothing intelligent to add for my own part. But this does appear to be a consequence of CFB exclusivity for these events...

https://www.leafscience.org/valery-novoselov-investigating-jeanne-calments-longevity-record/ I'm not really sure how well-known the background material here is, but it's a subject I've been following for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, Jeanne Calment was still alive and appeared...

Gotcha. I knew you had plenty of opportunities to cast the spell before Declare Attackers, but I took it literally and thought maybe there was some deliberate purpose behind stating that specific timing. So Firebrand hits for 1?

Can you do that? I thought Declare Attackers started with a declaration of attackers that doesn't use the stack...

Yikes, it hasn't been quite that long, but it's coming up on that. Time flies. Anyway, Istanbul was vocal about wanting a certain person to be banned, I forget what it was over at that time, although the person was eventually banned anyway. He did make a post stating that he'd "left" and jumped...

Alright. Fanatical Firebrand and Ragavan hit you?
