  • If a creature planeswalker is dealt damage by a creature with infect, what happens?


    If a planeswalker than has been turned into a creature (not a planeswalker that turns itself into a creature with “prevent all damage” like Gideon) takes Infect damage, what happens?

    I know that Infect damage is applied as -1/-1 counters, and I know that the planeswalker will have both damaged marked on it, as well as have it’s loyalty reduced, but what I’m unsure of is if the -1/-1 counters further reduce the loyalty or if they only impact the power / toughness.

    As a follow-on, do the -1/-1 counters stay on the planeswalker when it is no longer a creature? And if so, could this be used to prevent a Gideon from using it’s “become a creature” ability (or at least kill it if it does)?

  • Turing Machine: Useful verifier than only results in False?


    Are there any setups by the Turing Machine manufacturer that we know of that use the fact that a verifier is required to complete the code BUT the verifier also does not ever produce a true for the given code? Example below:

    For b = blue, y = yellow and p = purple you could have:

    1. b = 2
    2. y = 3
    3. p = 3

    You could also have the verifiers:

    1. v1 = one colour is less than the other two
    2. v2 = yellow is =/>/< 3
    3. v3 = there are x even numbers
    4. v4 = one colour is greater than the other two

    Using that you can get the following results from the verifiers (eventually):

    1. v1: blue is < yellow or purple
    2. v2: yellow = 3
    3. v3: there is 1 even number
    4. v4: all results are negative

    In this case BECAUSE all results on v4 are negative, the code is solvable and is b2 y3 p3

    IF v4 had a positive for p > b/y then the result would also be meaningful: b2 y3 p5

    Therefore in this case v4 is both: required for the solution AND provides only negative results for this code

    I’m interested in whether the game setup provided by the manufacturer uses this feature to allow for such games. It seems ‘legal’ within the game rules, but it’s not clear whether these cases are actually provided and I can imagine that for ‘ease of understanding/play’ they might have shied away from those setups.

    It’s relevant because knowing whether they are possible setups or not affects your number of guesses. If it’s not possible, then you can assume the above case HAS TO BE the p5 solution and do (potentially) at least one less guess of the verifiers

  • "Put into graveyard" versus "exile graveyard"


    Does the ability “Exile all cards from target player’s graveyard” counter “When ~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere, its owner shuffles his or her graveyard into his or her library”?

    For example: if Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is put into the graveyard, will activating Tormod’s Crypt counter its effect?

  • What is the best source to find the board game Chez Geek, with all the add-ons?


    I keep getting different sources for Chez Geek and it’s add-ons. Is there one source for all of it?

  • Which card has the highest number of mana symbols in its mana cost?


    Color doesn’t matter. No Un-Sets. In case of a tie, one card tied for highest number suffices. I need such a card as a test case for a computer program involving MtG cards.

  • Rummikub Initial Meld


    On initial meld, I laid down 32 points from my own tiles. In this same turn, I wanted to replace (take) a joker (placed by another player) with an appropriate tile and add another 28 points to my play.

    Is this move legal?

  • Planeswalker Infinite Ultimate Combo


    Infinite combos in Magic are awesome (if you’re a Johnny). Planeswalker ultimate abilities are awesome (if you’re a Timmy). Combining the two would be even more awesome. Then you could have a billion emblems from Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, or Kiora, the Crashing Wave. Because dealing a billion damage isn’t as cool as doing it every time you cast a spell. And getting a billion krakens isn’t as cool as getting them every turn.

    What’s the fewest number of cards (besides the planeswalker) that allows you to activate a planeswalker’s ultimate ability an arbitrary number of times?

  • What is the difference between lands and mana?


    What is the relationship between lands and mana in Magic and what do each of them do? A good answer should especially include how a new player should think about them.


    Note:

    This is an attempt to create a canonical question about the relationship between lands and mana in Magic.

    Beginners are often confused about this given the same symbols are used to mean different things across basic lands, non-basic lands, and mana costs. This can lead to confusion about lands being mana, about non-basic lands putting basic lands into play, or even about what mana is.

  • Where can I find strategy discussion about Dots?


    !!! Before reading the post, I’m not talking about Dots and Boxes, but Dots (a paper-based game).

    I’ve been playing the game for some time and to become better at it, I started to search for different strategies for the game, but as this game is not so fame/popular there is only one (wikipedia) article to it. Can you share some different experience you’ve had with the game? Eventually how would you place more and more dots?

    This game is pretty similar to go, the only difference is, that you don’t have living points (I guess they’re called breathing points?), but the only thing that counts is to circle the enemy. You start in a position where in 2×2 dots the opposite corners are of one player, and the other two dots are from the other.

    Can I just assign Go-strategies here? Because it looks like I can’t use them.

    PS. Add ‘dots’, ‘paper-based’ tags for the forum, if possible. (Or if this forum is strictly for board games, are paper-based games board-games?)
