Magic the Gathering place.

for your first question you would still have a discard phase, you could just hold as many cards in your hand as you want, allowing for a 10 card hand. You still have the discard phase so that if you have cards like grave digger, then you actually have a graveyard to pull cards from. Seems like it was changed for a stratigic reason.

As for the the second question, probably not for two reasons. Most rules now force you to suffle the libary after cycling a card just so someone doesnt have a repeating stratagy like that one. second reason is if either one of your cards says you have to discard it, then you will eventually have to lose that card.

How ya doing, buddy?

I was going off of the lastest edition rules that doesnt show anything big or note worthy about cycling so I went off of the best judgement from games I have had to judge where placing a card on your deck would require you to shuffle it again, and where other cards that allows continous can only activate once discarded.

Like I said I only whent by the latest edition rules and games I have judged so i could still be wrong in some parts.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

wow i hate it so much....if they really switch to that design now mtg is kinda doomed looking like just any random tcg..i loved mtg for looking badass (classical design, before 8th edition/mirrodin)...ya know timeshifted cards in timespiral have been the best looking recently..well I just loved to see they went back to the classical design of cards..

There has been no announcement of a design change. The cards in futuresight that look like that are supposed to be cards "from the future of magic", just like the cards in time spiral have the time shifted cards and the all of the planar chaos cards are basically Magic thrown into a blender and pulled out.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
