    The thoughtcast IS complicated cause most people dont know that you have to only pay the mana after you anounce the card, so it was good mengucci explained

    • @bjorntuttifrutti
      @bjorntuttifrutti Před rokem +15

      I did not know that. I recently started playing flesh and blood (thanks prof) and there you announce the card, pitch the mana, pay the cost and finally resolve the spell. Since mtga taps the lands before the spell is announced i thought it worked like that in paper too.

    • @DarkYuan
      @DarkYuan Před rokem +16

      Yep, he "locked in" the cost of it before mana abilities

    • @aaroncutbirth2192
      @aaroncutbirth2192 Před rokem +8

      So you can cast a spell (adding it to the stack)
      And activate other abilities before paying its cost? Are mana abilities different than any other activated ability?

    • @SuperStation64
      @SuperStation64 Před rokem +21

      I came here for this, and I actually wish he would have been assertive enough to explain announcing the spell before paying its cost. I don't even think the professor fully understood what he was trying to present in rules context.

    • @SuperStation64
      @SuperStation64 Před rokem +13

      @@aaroncutbirth2192 No you cannot announce a spell and then do anything else besides activate mana abilities. The best example of this is the card Lions Eye Diamond. The oracle text says you can only activate the card as an instant to discard your hand and add 3 mana. This prevents you from announcing a spell and then using the LED to pay for it.

  • @zachdubin3603
    @zachdubin3603 Před rokem +47

    I think what Andrea meant by “complicated” was that he’s declaring the intention of casting the thoughtcast with 4 artifacts in play, and to pay the cost for the spell is cracking the star for blue, which would make it seem like he only has 3 artifacts but affinity locks in the cost when casting the spell, not when costs are paid. Magic rules are weird and cool!

    • @mercury00169
      @mercury00169 Před 6 měsíci

      Can you explain this to me though? You say affinity locks the cost when casting the spell, but he can't cast it without paying its cost, which he couldn't without blue mana. So he's not casting the spell before cracking the star. Much confuso

    I think the interaction with affinity (thoughtcast) and chromatic star is not really intuitive unless you have a good understanding of the rules or have played with the mechanic before, it's something I've definitely had to explain to players new to pauper.

      I know right? As a new player I feel like I've been taught "You have to tap your mana sources before casting spells" But apparently you can do it as part of casting a spell?

    • @Prakamos
      @Prakamos Před rokem +12

      @@Coldmaj you announce the spell, and then costs for it are calculated. Since it has affinity and sees four artifacts, it is reduced by four generic mana. Then you pay the costs, at which point the reduction is locked in, and you can sacrifice your artifacts to filter/generate the mana needed to pay for the spell.
      Loved that Mengu didn't assume everyone knew that, I tend to also explain it to my opponents even when there's no indication they wouldn't know, because it is a rather tricky interaction and some people find it odd.

    • @DarkYuan
      @DarkYuan Před rokem +1
