I wasn't aware it is still used on only one card. Originally I started using the term as it appeared in the comprehensive rules that use it in several places e. g. where it says that the final step of resolving a permanent spell is putting it on the battlefield and I noticed it appearing on some car...

Does the wording 'nonpermanent spell' actually mean anything in the rules? I know what you mean colloquially, but I'd probably have worded it as 'target instant or sorcery'. Cool card though! Thanks. The term "permanent spell" is known to the rules. I work with the assumption that "n...

I disagree with the message in the flavor text (love can mean a lot just by itself) but it conveys what Ayana is about very well. She's a mother who teaches her young to fight by fighting. For the record, I don't agree with the flavor text as it is either. There was a real moment there when I just ...

"Until your next turn" means that guy is looking forward to a lot of broken glass... and furniture.

So what you all are telling me here is that the mechanics are on point flavor-wise. I gotta say that it's satisfying even beyond what I imagined to get all those cards for characters with previously uninteresting or ill-fitting cards or that were present in lore and lacked a card. Every card that is...

You are correct. Something about the wording has to change. Maybe I can make it easier to parse in the process as well...

It is today I realize that Tahngarth doesn't receive his iconic white look until he is tortured on Rath and that the other decorated brown-(furred?/skinned?/leathered?) Minotaur seen in the illustrations of some older cards hanging out with the Weatherlight -crew is actually Tahngarth before being m...

I'm really happy for the guy who made a custom card set full of Statue creatures. They finally are vindicated for this odd choice of creature type.

Card of the Day 2019-08-06: > Sarkhan's Paradox GUR Sorcery (M) Search your library for a planeswalker card that shares a planeswalker type with a planeswalker you control or a legendary permanent card that has the same name as a permanent you control. Put that card onto the battlefield, then shuff...

Mire in Misery & Voice of Many are yet to be revealed, right?

I don't see much of a reason why you wouldn't want to pay the entwine cost every time you play this, but it's pretty neat nonetheless - Nature's Spiral with upside. If your graveyard is empty or your commander on the battlefield? Maybe if you want to make a time-sensitive play and need the two mana...

I though of the rummage/looting issue as well. I could change this to "Draw seven cards. If you have more cards in hand than the greatest power among creature's you control, discard a number of cards equal to the difference." to be closer to looting than rummaging. As many have pointed out...

Ayana, Packmother 2G Legendary Creature - Wolf (U) At the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on each Wolf you control with power less than ~'s power. 1G : ~ gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Activate this ability only once each turn. A parent's love is nothing without a parent's example. 3/3

"When Gerrard, Weatherlight hero dies, exile IT"? IT?????? It is a HIM for God's shake!!!! I personally would prefer they revert to "it" on planeswalkers as well. After all we are exiling the permanent/card which definitely is an "it" - while the character remains unto...

As for Immobilizing Venom, I was actually afraid that I'd under costed it for its rarity.

It's extremely similar to Winter's Rest. The unrestricted version is Claustrophobia. It's on the higher power end of the curve if you reduce the cost.

This is certainly a valid way of batching, though I personally prefer batching to be more than just a grouping of subtypes. historic itself is an impressive example, grouping supertype, card type and subtype. On the other hand there is nothing wrong with it. I looked up an article today where Ken Na...

I could see this triggering on any counter put on another creature/permanent. There was a time, when it was more black by actually stealing the counter. The card suffers a little from having just so many valves to be turned for all kinds of minor attunements. Card of the Day 2019-08-03: > Narset's P...

The term "ophidian" should not be capitalized to make it easier to distinguish it from an obscure creature type. Magic has a veryy helpful system of capitalization.

Card of the Day 2019-08-02: > Sporesnapper WBG Creature - Bird Lizard (R) Flying Whenever a counter is placed onto another permanent you control, you may pay {1} . If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. It roosts atop fungal reaches sifting nourishment out of winds whirling with thallid spores. 2/2
