Silver Border Rules

Silver border question: if I control R&D's Secret Lair as I use an Ashnod's Coupon, who pays for the cost(s) of the drink?

They do, but they can quit the game in response.

Ashnod's Coupon Interactions

on the ashnod's coupon/hexproof sticker ruling, that seems like it actually should work since players outside the game aren't "your opponents". I would think the drink would need shroud, not hexproof, in order to be protected.

Fair.

Hexproof Drink Fetching

If Chandra and Nissa are playing one game and jace and Karn are playing another and. If Jace plays animate object on a glass of wine and then places a hexproof sticker on it, can Nissa have Chandra fetch it with ashnods coupon (ye I know this isn’t a situation that would happen in the lore it’s just an example.)

As Ashnod’s Coupon fetches target drink, no. : )

Defining a Cycle

There's a set of five common instants in BRO that each reference a legendary creature in its name: Loran's Escape, Urza's Rebuff, Ashnod's Intervention, Mishra's Onslaught, and Tawnos's Tinkering.

The question is whether this is enough to be considered a cycle. They don't have any mechanical similarities; only three target a creature, only two are modal, etc. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

It’s all boils down to how you want to define “cycle”. If you’re loose enough with you definition, it is.

Enjoying The Brothers' War

Hi Mark, I just got done playing the brother's war pre-release and no joke, I was getting some big farm vibes from my black white deck what with the rat, the locusts, the threshers, the gigamole, dredging claws, the warplow and Ashnod's harvester. I really enjoyed myself. Thanks for keeping the dream alive!

Glad you liked it.

Zombie Artifact Coincidence

I can't help but notice that the 3/3 zombie artifact creature token is exactly the same size and types as a regular zombie token that had an Ashnod's Transmogrant applied to it.

Hmm, interesting.

Oh great sultan of all Un-related knowledge:

If I sacrifice Ashnod's Coupon with R&D's Secret Lair on the field, does my opponent have to buy me the drink?

Yes (assuming it’s legal to do so), although they can concede the game instead.

Hi Mark,Is Ashnod's Coupon actually void in Rhode Island and Quebec? As someone living in the later, that is an important thing to take into consideration.Thanks!

You may play it there. That’s flavor text and not rules text.

Gix and Ashnod Card Requests

2 questions1. Why does gix and ashnod still don't have a card (safe bet both are the most requested at this point)2. You aware MTGO just Updated cards with phyrexia typing?

1. There are a lot of cards that players want. Each set can only do so much. Also, we don’t start at the top of the list. We put things where they fit. I promise you we’ll find a home for them one day. 2. I am aware.

She’s already on the list.

Concern About Ashnod's Absence

So it's really neat seeing all the old characters who got cards for the first time in Commander Legends, but -- where's Ashnod? :)

There are more characters worthy of a legendary creature cards than there were opportunities to print them. Give it time. Magic is a hungry monster.

Ashnod Card/Planeswalker

If/When what do you think about an ashnod card/planeswalker

Little when. It’s bound to happen eventually (a legendary creature as Ashnod wasn’t a Planeswalker).
