You and permanents you control have ward — pay 2 or 2 life.

i wonder what the "alternative mana value" of Blast from the Past would be

sup wizyard!

haha, 1 or 4. or maybe 1+4=5 (like split card mv)

That was not only helpful but impressive. Thank you. I think I'll just go with "alternative mana cost" with reminder text that mana cost includes color.

Does "alternative mana cost value" work? Surge, Madness, Flashback, Dash, etc.

CARDNAME(Rarity)

X: Discard a card with alternative mana cost value X. Target player mills X cards.

Oh yes, that's a much better wording.

Yes, two instances of Ravenous would make it enter with twice the +1/+1 counters. This is pretty standard stuff. They both occur separately and both stack. Like, Cetavolver will enter the battlefield with four +1/+1 counters if you pay both costs. One modifies the enters-the-battlefield event to pu...

The way Ravenous is currently written, no, this does not do that. Ravenous says it enters with X counters. Saying it twice won't double it. You will just have one replacement effect that says "Enter with X counters" and then the second just "Wait, instead of that, enter with X counte...

Will this enter the battlefield with twice X counters?

Now that Amass has been updated to Amass Type, could the same be done with Fabricate? I would think so. The only reason I ask is because the token I want to Fabricate isn't an artifact and has a keyword ability itself. ACTUAL FABRICATE Fabricate 1 (When this creature enters the battlefield, put a +1...

Nothing about Splice targets so not being able to target mana abilities doesn't really matter. If you don't want to splice onto mana abilities, which is probably the right way to do things, you will need to say it. Would it be worded "Splice onto nonmana activated ability" or "Splice...

Idea 1 was indeed stupid.

I noticed that nesting keywords within reminder text is the norm now, so Idea 2 is fine.

That only leaves Idea 3. Does it need to say nonmana? Or is nonmana a given because mana abilities can't be targeted?

Added Embalm, Fateful Hour, Lifelink, Outlast, Surveil, Scry, Sweep, and Unearth.

Say what? I guess you're walking on your hands.

THING 1 Thinking of using "+1/+1 vigilance", "vigilance lifelink" counters, etc. Is that possible without breaking something? Is it sensible or stupid? __________________________________________________________ THING 2 I also want to Amass Shapeshifters, and ideally I want them ...

Yep. Basically, the first ability ensures the trigger doesn't let anyone go back up to 10 if they are lower than that. That could be desired but probably best to spell it out in the trigger. But, if you want people to go back to 10 from 5 for example, you will need to find another way to do it. &qu...

Does the first ability make it so a life total can't increase up to 10 from less than 10? CARD (Rare) 2B Creature - Type 1/4 Players Opponents can't gain life.

Sheldon wasn't just the EDH OG, he was THE level 5 judge of judges among other things, and he clarified rules sometimes years ahead of WotC. He was also a veteran, patriot, husband, friend, and apparently all around decent guy.

If only he was a politician. Then he'd have lived to be 100.

When it comes to AI and such, Colossus: The Forbin Project comes to mind. And this amazing quote from the original Dune novel, which I believe to be happening in real time. "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free, but that only permitted other ...

The one ring was found.

TSR created the second CCG ever - Spellfire. It was a hot mess that lasted about 6 years. Anyways, I was reminiscing about it and decided to look it up online only to discover that Wizbro let the Spellfire license lap a couple of years go and someone snatched it (and the .com) up and made it an NFT ...

My plan with the one ring is to order a collector booster and keep it sealed until Wotc confirms the ring is found. That way, I can pretend I have the one of ring in my possession for however long it takes for Star City Games to get the go ahead to reveal they have had it all along. Ol' SCG ain't w...

Why can't we just treat them like normal people?

That was my whole point in the first place. Get joked like "normal" people. Get fired like "normal" people. Get treated . . . like "normal" people.

David set an example anyone can follow.
