What happens if you have multiple copies of Roaming Throne, like using the helm of hosts to duplicate it while the chosen type of Golem?

What do i think? I think the repeated loss before my 2nd turn is the reason i quit playing.

“If it's blocking two or more creatures, it assigns its combat damage divided as its controller chooses among them.” So what I’m getting from that part is that if there are multiple attackers and only one blocker, now, instead of that one blocker, just being able to block one creature, they also get to slap the other attacking creatures as they pass by on the way to hit the player. so if there are two 5/5s attacking me, I’m only allowed to choose one of them to physically block with my 7/7. But with the new rule, I don’t have to just shoot that seven power at the one I’m physically blocking the body of. I can shoot five at that one to kill it and then just shoot 2 power over at the other one that’s going to get through and hit me in the face for five damage? Weird. So what if I have a 10/10 blocker instead? Everything else is the same. Two 5/5s are attacking me. My blocker doesn’t have any special text. Just like any normal creature according to the rules, it can only physically block one body from getting through to me, but it’s still allowed to assign lethal damage to both attackers? So then the unblocked 5/5 would not get through to me? Doesn’t this just mean that any single blocker with lethal to take out multiple attackers is pretty much the same as a blocker with special text on the card stating that it is allowed to block multiple attackers? Sorry for the book I just wrote. I’m just trying to make sure I got everything right before I start playing again. Is all of that correct? I would appreciate any feedback.

you actually win the majority of your games in the Meta evaluation, deck building, and random match pairings phases

Shrine is an enchantment type, not a creature type. :(

And frog was the problem lmfao

Nice, thanks for this video since i have a myrkul abzan deck

I said 0 but obly bc i thought it entering didnt cause it to create a token bc it had already resolved and entered when you chose the creature type

I didn’t know you could assign three points of damage to one creature and two to another without killing the first creature. That’s very interesting.

I played the 'new' way since the 90s. No idea blocker order even existed, how would that even work with banding.

Does that mean changelings also aren't shrines?

It’s a creature token. There for its a creature

so can you still pump up the attacking creature after defenders have been declared? or do you have to immediatly declare block order?

so which one is it?

The rule you cited specified "toughness greater than 0" Does that mean Fatal Slip and similar removal don't kill via state based actions?

I wonder if Shrines as an enchantment type to prevent changlings et al turboing the shrine count mechanic? Can't think of any other reason, given the lack of rules specific to "shrine" (conpared to something like Saga or Case) 🤔

Wood league material. The meta won't allow it to succeed. It's a 2.5 card combo that wins on turn 4 and basically folds to any interaction. Most viable standard decks are running at least 8 pieces of removal to slow down MonoR. What stops it? Instant-speed removal, sorcery-speed removal, targeted discard, flying blockers, counterspells, unsummons, etc. It fails for the same reasons that Slasher combo isn't competitively viable. And that deck is a turn faster.

Wait isnt that just eggs?

Not for modern but could build it into a black commander deck. With this and hexmage of course.

There is absolutely no good reason why shrine can't ALSO be a creature type. I am convinced that there is someone higher up at WoTC who likes to ensure certain things are wierd and complicated just to mess with people.

I saw Maskwood in the thumbnail and thought it was going to be a different trick question about what happens when you have the two together? It's the same kind of trick question. However, it is an interesting way to make sure The Roaming Throne can copy Go-Shintai triggers, but to me, that just seems like a big waste of money. But yeah, this is one of those things that I wish magic did better. For instance, the Kamigawa reconfigure cards are templated Artifact Creature - Equipment Rabbit (etc.). It's much easier to tell that equipment is the artifact type, especially because we know about it and because the reconfigure ability makes this even more clear. The enchantment creatures that are shrines could also have a clear creature type. Maybe Shrine Spirit or something to help suggest one subtype relates to enchantment and the other to creature. This of course isn't foolproof as creatures can have multiple types. So something in the rules text to clarify this might be nice either way.
