Title: Pressure counters?
Post by: Curious penguin on August 09, 2012, 06:06:48 PM
Can anyone explain a pressure counter?

Just the name of the counter you put on the card. Kinda to help you keep track. Just like how some counters are +1/+1 counters or storage counters. It would be a bit too vague if they just said 'put a counter on this permanent'

I believe they're only used on the Planechase plane card {Mt. Keralia}, right? Your creatures will all take damage equal to the number of pressure counters on the plane card when you Planeswalk away from it. And it gets a counter at the beginning of every end step I think. Or upkeep.

{Hellion Crucible} and {Magma Mine} have them as well.

Yep. And they'll interact too.

If you can move those counters around...

Shut up jester. Just shut up. Save it for the combo corner. Not the rules section 

You shouldn't postulate here in the rulings. It leads to more issues

What's wrong with that?  If I can give ideas that lead to more questions, then answering those questions will help those players. That's my quest, to increase MtG knowledge. 📝

You should totally make weekly videos of you explaining complex yet awesome interactions between cards. I would watch them lol

I don't have a good side. Besides, my impossibly high standards for myself would mean I'd have to spend hours on an opening theme, title screen, script, hair, makeup 💆💇💅, and there's just not enough room for a trailer. 🚌

Jester: then podcast. Screw the video just talk for an hour or two about stuff. I mean I already spend at least 8 hours a week listening to mtg podcasts

Meh, but then I have to put clothes on... Or at the very least a shirt...

how so? Podcasts are purely voice only. At least the ones I listen to.

I was also wondering why clothes were necessary for this. Or in general... Okay, maybe just for this

I mean damn. These podcasts I listen to... I never know. The host could be naked.... On a beanbag.... Eating Cheetos.

From pressure counters to eating Cheetos naked while doing podcasts, you really never know what you're gonna get when you ask a question on iMtg.

I've always said that as long as the OP's question is answered, then getting off-topic is okay (actually, it often leads to comedy! ;D).

I honest question how many people would want to hear me yammer on about what little I know about the game.  There are FAR better podcasts you could be listening to... while naked.... eating Cheetos.

Remember, always use protection when eating Cheetos.  Never handle cards with orange-finger.  Sleeve up!  ;)

Thanks for the advice jester.

My friend and roommate is new to magic and is still learning so I built him a deck the other night, that {Torpor Orb} we talked about once. With {Vexing Devil} {Demonlord of Ashmouth} and {Treacherous Pit-Dweller}, and he understands how to play the deck and all the components in it. Then..... He started eating pizza. And the cards weren't sleeved. I said "If you DARE touched those cards... I will find you... And will kill you!" he was like "Why?" I said "you don't no how much some of those cards are worth and I don't want your greasy fingers on them!" he goes "Oh ok gotcha!" Then proceeds to draw on his draw step..... Thankfully it was just a {Dead Weight}. Had it been a {Sexy Devil} I would have murdered him. Lol

This is why you get new players sleeves. Sometimes it's worth the 8-10 bucks
