    They've started killing a lot of the old Canon. Plus, characters visiting in stories is probably all the Kamigawa we'll ever get, so giving the players who really want it a way to see it from time to time is good.

    We got a couple of brief glimpses of Kamigawa in the last Planechase set. Not unreasonable to think they'd stuff the occasional card from there in the yearly non-standard releases as the situation arises.

    But yeah an entire block is probably never going to be set there again.

    Wasn't there an enchantment or artifact pr something that let you sacrifice a creature to make X artifact tokens? X = creatures power?

    Was thinking that could set up a helluva loop with Metalwork Colossus

    Not that I can find. A search for "sacrifice + create + artifact (- investigate)" didn't turn up anything along those lines.

    transmute artifact?

    Does not create tokens? (Or have the word "create" anywhere on it.)

    I don't know if you're doing a thing, Tommy, but ad nauseum was a phrase long before it was a Magic card.

    Bruna only rezzes an Angel/Human when you cast her, not when she ETBs.

    Can panharnomicon cause etb effects to trigger twice? The way it reads to me is it only works on permanents already in play.

    Yes. Any creature with an ETB trigger is on the battlefield when it triggers.

    By the time the ETB triggers, the object in question is already on the battlefield, so yes. Heck, Panharmonicon itself can cause things to trigger twice.

    You seem to be confusing ETB triggers with replacement effects like "enters the battlefield tapped".

    First ruling in Gatherer/Release notes:
    Panharmonicon affects an artifact or creature’s own enters-the-battlefield triggered abilities as well as other triggered abilities that would trigger when an artifact or creature enters the battlefield. Such triggered abilities start with “when” or “whenever.”

    No, the confusion wasn't for card entering tapped. I was confused because it seem like it only triggered on permanent already play to activate due to something entering play.

    For some reason I was also confusing ETB effects.

    Either way it is going into my Meren deck now.

    Yeah that thing is going to be ubiquitous in most commander decks. Not all (my enchantment-based decks are rather unhappy with it, for instance), but a vast majority.

    Good point - when you have a Contraband Kingpin and play a Panharmonicon, you gain 2 life.

    More accurately, you gain 1 life twice. Some effects (like Karlov, Ajani's Pridemate, or Archangel of Thune) care about instances of life gain and not the actual quantity.

    EDIT: If Contraband Kingpin's trigger gained you life, anyway. :bzz:

    I haven't been to play at my LGS in a while because of the new house. They're making it very hard to stay away.

    Aw dangit

    I went to listen to the new Limited Resources to hear their hot takes on Kaladesh

    apparently Midnight Oil is actually good, and even first pickable

    Guess who had one pack one last week and didn't first pick it

    magic you are so hard to understand

    ...apparently one of the dice I got from my two kaladesh prepacs is an M14 die?

    I only own 3 D20s, all of which I got that day, and the third just has a '20' on it. Weird. The other has the Kaladesh symbol as expected.

    I mean,... what did you take instead? Cause it might still have been the right call.
