Wizards of the Coast Answer Magic: The Gathering Questions From Twitter - Tech Support

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Wizards of the Coast game designer and editor Matt Tabak uses the power of Twitter to answer the internet's burning questions about Magic: The Gathering. Why does everyone hate mono-white? If you attack with a 2/2 creature and are blocked by a 2/2 creature, which creature gets destroyed? What happens if your hand has no lands and you can't play any cards? What's the weirdest, most obscure MTG rule that Matt knows of? Matt

I used to pilot a 'Death and Taxes' and a 'Prison' mono-white style deck for Standard or Legacy game formats. Those decks change how a normal game is played, making the game slower or adding effects to the game that you planned for but your opponent did not. You get into a lot of arguments, and in general are not fun to play against. That said, in a game format with more players like EDH/Commander, those mono-white deck archetypes make you the target of the other players to eliminate first so they can go back to playing the kind of game they want to play.

My favorite two cards are righteousness because you can bait powerful creatures into attacking a threat and then kill it with +7/+7 for only 1 white. The other one is Maze of Ith because it's a land that untaps an attacking creature making it deal no damage or receive no damage, thus disabling it and killing lots of strategies that rely on a single powerful creature. It can also allow you to use a powerful creature safely in case your opponent buffs their creature in an effort to kill it. You just respond with Maze of Ith and their creature buff is wasted.

I have a question so if I am attacking for leathal damage on my opponent abs they have a zulaport cutthroat out that they use to block one creature I have and I-m at one life would the opponent die before the ability of zulaport cutthroat resolves dealing a damage to me after it dies
Zulaport cutthroat has an ability where when something you control dies you gain a life and opponent loses a life I think or something like that

this was extremely boring because half of the questions would have been answered if you opened and read the rules for once. the mono white one was also just infuriatingly audacious. because he supposedly exactly knows what problem they were referring to. but he chose to ignore and not explain it, but then proceeds to explain that two bears fighting would result in both dying. thats just insulting to any MTG fan

Seriously you game designers sure have made some really poor cards lately. There is no way you guys play tested some of the cards you release. And why do you guys keep stuffing down our throats mill decks? I have yet to find a person who enjoys playing against this. So why? If no one enjoys playing against it why make the game unfun.

I love his enthusiasm, but honestly this was far off. We wanted to know more about fluff facts or important questions, not basic rules. And adding that spicy content would be better to promote the game and generate interest. Just look at Raid Shadow Legends.
The last question, however, had a very good answer.

I have a question about a new combo in magic combining a new card with a classic card. Here it is: I want to summon phyrexian dreadnaught by sacrificing worldspine wurm which is already in play, by doing this I get dreadnaught in play and does worldspine wurms effect still kick in to go to my library?

I-ve been playing trading card games for years. To hear and remember how many changes the devs have to go over with the non-geek crowd makes me realize how complicated this game can be. Well entertained.

I love how he doesn-t even answer the first question. He-s just like -Figure out why you-re losing and don-t do that. - And, to correct his statement, people do hate mono-white: Wizards hates mono white.

On Card Nicknames:
Myself and others I know call the card Sakura-Tribe Elder -Steve- for short, Ramunap Excavator is aka -Remmy-, and the more common one is -Sad Robot- for Sollemn Simulacrum
