Title: Mana burn
Post by: Oldschoolmtgnoob on October 08, 2014, 11:43:07 PM
is "mana burn" a thing? Like an ability generates more mana than you can spend and you take one damage for each produced? I've never heard this get brought up and I feel like I got tricked 15 years ago...

It's not a current thing. I couldn't tell ya when they did away with it but I know mana burn is an old school concept. No longer relevant unless you wanna play by house rules and enjoy a dose of nostalgia.

it used to be a thing and then they removed it from the rules, so it doesnt exist anymore. so you didnt get duped 15 years ago, but now, dont fall for it!

You weren't tricked 15 years ago, but you would be now. Wizards got rid of mana burn all together during the M10 Rules Changes (I think they got rid of damage on the stack as well as a few other things)

You can always concede. At any time. Player says: I'll attack you with my 250 goblins I got from  {Krenko, Mob Boss}. That moment you can just concede and not lose to his monster.

Not as fun as tapping all your mana, getting your opponent scared that you may have a response, and instead of playing anything, you start singing Usher's Let It Burn while you hold a lighter up and burn one of your tapped lands.
