@bravelion83 I just have one (hopefully) final question then, following the passive/active paradigm and the specific card paradigm. If my card is Case of the Hey I Need a Squirrel and it has some unrelated first effect, and the To Solve is "You control a Squirrel token", that would pass, ...

I still don't have an understanding as to why mentioning removal is the wrong path, but mentioning creatures isn't. Gateway Express just checks the state of the board, you could call it a "passive" thing. Removal is something you (or your opponent) "actively" do that might inter...

I'll read the last two posts now, in the meantime you can check the four sample cards in my last post, that unfortunately has fallen back on the last page of the thread, so I'll copy and paste it here too for convenience. I've discovered a bug in the fifth one so I won't post it until I manage to fi...

What if I say it this way: I've cast a spell that causes you (or your judge) to forget all the existing cards in Magic history while evaluating Subchallenge 1. I'm so sorry, but I am still lost. By this logic, I would argue that Case of the Gateway Express also passes, as it requires other cards in...

So if I understand correctly, if for example you have a Case that makes two creature tokens on ETB but has a "To solve" of "you control exactly one creature", that would fulfill the subchallenge? Without any additional cards, there's no way to solve the case the turn it comes do...

@bravelion83 I'm very confused by this interpretation of subchallenge 1. Every case, by nature, requires other cards to solve. I'm not wrapping my head around what distinguishes "needs 3 creatures" in Case of the Gateway Express from "needs a way to put onto battlefield without casti...

I am aware that it is possible to solve it on the same turn it enters the battlefield if you cheat it in with something like Planar Bridge or Sun Titan's attack trigger. Again, ignore combos with existing cards. If you have to mention other cards like you do with Planar Bridge and Sun Titan , then ...

@bravelion83 @slimytrout The intention is that the Subchallenge only cares about solving the Case via the "To solve" ability. Ignore any interactions with any existing cards (like the two you mention) and any possible combos involving cards other than your Case (like the only haywire poin...

This is, of course, incredibly pedantic, and obviously not what the subchallenge actually refers to in spirit, but because it just says "can't be solved" and not "it's To Solve condition can't be met", This is exactly the point. I didn't even think about combos involving other c...

The final round for March is up , together with the final episode of my story. I used spoilers in spoilers to hide the solution of the case and my explanation of the intended mystery.

Caspernicus you must choose modes on modal cards as they resolve Here is one problem. This is wrong, choosing modes is part of the process of casting the spell. Part of the many choices you make in the second step to be precise. In other words, you choose modes while casting the spell, not on resol...

My March Round 3 judgments are done. I did think I might have caught something that may have made this a more standard 3 person finals, but considered that it does have functional purpose, so 4 way final it (potentially) is! I'm also fine with a final round with three players, I was just pointing o...
