This week we were joined by @hanweirgarrison.bsky.social to discuss magic judging and policy. This one's worth checking out if you play competitive magic, regardless of format.

It will still meter with the first counter. It doesn’t have abilities, so it won’t trigger to get “tap: add C”. But if the blood moon leaves, when it ticks up to 2, it will get the construct ability, and likely will never get the ability to tap for C unless you remove the counter at some point

This does not go live until FF release (so it doesn’t change anything for the spotlight series).

Also, if an Urza’s saga has gained abilities through its chapter abilities already (say, to make constructs), it can still do that under a blood moon

So we’re getting more cards that trigger when cards leave the graveyard. Is the gatherer ruling for Hushbringer correct that reanimating a creature card with torpor orb out wouldn’t trigger this, or is that ruling incorrect?

Thank you!

does the copied spell copy the alternative casting cost to generate a non-creature permanent? Seems like the intent would be to have the token copy be a non-creature permanent, but considering the token copy came from a spell that wasn't cast, I could see the interpretation of it being a creature2/2

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Hey Matt, long-time tweeter, first-time bleeter. Wanted to check on copying creature spells cast with Impending. For the "3rd" ability given by Impending, does the token copy end up as a creature because it did not come from a spell that was actually cast, or 1/2
