Re: March MCC Round 4 (finals) - Accusation (plus OPHTMH Episode 4)

The round is closed. This is the final round, every judge judges every card, and the highest combined score is the winner. Judging may begin right now. Due to real life business, I won't be able to start my judgments until tonight.

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

A little more than 24h to the design deadline. We're still missing @Lorn Asbord Schutta's submission. I also remind everybody that you're still allowed to edit your submission until then. Just for clarification, isn't the design deadline in 10 hours? It is. The deadline is at 6 am here in Italy and...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

@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, ...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

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...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

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...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

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...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

@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...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

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 ...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

@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...

Re: The MCC Discussion Thread

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...
