@murgatroid99 huh, somehow I'm more confused by this than the previous one (though I mostly play online so it doesn't really affect me much anyway, for now)

@DavidZ It's a little more complicated, but it fixes the issue with beginning of combat triggers, which were handled really poorly by the previous shortcut

Well, sure, those triggers were previously poorly handled, but I have to wonder whether this really fixes that issue and whether it doesn't break something else. I'll have to take some time to wrap my head around it.

It's almost functionally equivalent to having priority at the beginning of combat go NAP-AP-NAP instead of AP-NAP

I definitely think it's better than the previous shortcut, and I haven't seen any way in which it's substantially worse

Today's Magic Story shows us why Nissa is UG in Amonkhet

Wow. I did not know that Disallow was a card in Modern.

It stops fetch lands, right? Am I misreading it? I already have Boomerang in the sideboard and Cryptic Command in the mainboard. Disallow could give me the option to play a land denial game.

Oh dang. I found a thread discussing Disallow, and stumbled upon Shadow of Doubt. Another card I had no idea existed.

@Rainbolt You didn't know it was Modern legal, or didn't know it was used (much) in Modern?

@JonTheMon I didn't know it was Modern legal

Is that actually the first Modern-legal Stifle effect?

It looks like there are several others, including Voidslime, which is a worse Disallow

Summary Dismissal is also a bit like Disallow

Oh yeah, that too, though that's mainly good at dealing with Eldrazi on-cast abilities. It's overcosted as a Stifle
