  • Identify this Solitaire where Aces makes you discard

    Identify this Solitaire where Aces makes you discard


    I’m looking for the name of a certain solitaire game I remember from past, but never knew the name of. I’d like to find it.

    The deck of cards is dealt face down into 4 rows of 12 cards each. You are left with four cards in your hand. When you reveal the first card in your hand, you place it on the tableau on its designated space, assuming the order: hearts 2 to K, diamonds 2 to K, spades 2 to K, clubs 2 to K. This is how you neatly swap cards one at a time in the whole tableau. When you hit an Ace, you discard it and take another card from your hand. Of course, this solitaire is very difficult to win because the last Ace would have to be the last card revealed, but I liked this game and I enjoyed arranging cards.

    So, does anyone recognize this variant and know what it is called?

  • Frozen discard pile for Canasta


    For the initial meld with the pile frozen, what are the rules for picking up the discard pile? If the minimum meld is 120, is the meld plus two naturals needed to pick up the pile, or just two naturals and a wild card and be able to use this as part of my meld. I have always played that in order to pick up the pile I need the meld plus a natural pair in order to pick up a frozen pile, but just lately I’ve seen it where the person was able to pick up the frozen pile with 2 naturals plus wild card while the pile is frozen. Which version is correct?

  • Causing an opponent to cause you to discard?

    Causing an opponent to cause you to discard?


    Some abilities, such as Nullhide Ferox, like to be discarded by a spell or ability an opponent controls. I am seeking ways to proactively cause these abilities to trigger. A few ideas I had are…

    • In Yu-Gi-Oh!, there are cards similar to this, and there are text-changing effects obviously designed to pair with them. I have found some text-changing in MTG, but nothing related to discarding yet.
    • Exchanging control to an opponent of Siren of the Silent Song or Deadbridge Shaman, or similarly exchanging control of spells, but these combos require three specific cards to be drawn and are clunky.
    • Controlling an opponent…while they already have a discard option available, but they would have likely used it anyhow.
    • An ideal card might be something like an X-and-a-green Instant with an effect "search your library for creatures with the same name as each other with mana value X and put one of them onto the battlefield under each player’s control." This could grab, i.e., Acquisitions Expert. I thought something like this might exist, but I couldn’t find anything.

    Are there sensible (i.e., at most two drawn cards and four mana) strategies to use these abilities proactively, or are they only good for the sideboard? I am mostly interested in Pioneer format options.
