Just a note: templating definitely does use the oxford comma, see for instance the reminder text for historic (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic.) Obviously doesn't matter much for the CCL, but for the MCC judges will deduct points if you don't use it. Light of the Fair Basilica just is...

Would love an extra 24 hours if that's okay.

I might have missed something since I certainly started skimming this discussion at a certain point, but it sort of feels like folks are just arguing on behalf of different player psychographics and expecting to convince each other? That is to say: *There are some people on this thread/planet who ar...

I haven't been able to judge for a while since I've been busy, but things have calmed down so I'm also happy to judge if either a) we get enough entries to need three judges, which seems unlikely given recent trends or b) void wants to play instead of judging.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, magic templating does use the Oxford comma (see Grimdancer for the exact same set of words) so in fact it would be wrong to not include the comma. Didn't quite understand your phrasing because if the Oxford comma didn't exist then I wouldn't have used it

Damn, due to Oxford comma being a thing, slimytrout really dodged a bullet here.

Not sure I follow?

Definitely sorry to see you go! It seems like both of the judges are still down to judge, so I will submit my entry as well and maybe Riria will get a victory from the beyond.

Personally, I'm not sure why the discussion here is so focused on reminder text rather than allowing people to define a new mechanic outside of the card box. I agree with bravelion83 that reminder text should be counted toward microtext -- if someone makes a card with hideaway, they shouldn't be all...

I think you're right and I'm overthinking this -- I'm definitely a person who likes to think about game theory (shocking given that I'm hanging out here on an MtG site, I know) so I'm sure I'm projecting a bit, since the thought almost immediately occurred to me of "how can I write this story i...

Yeah, I'm certainly not saying that my situation is impossible, and I'm also not looking for the challenge to be edited to fit my desires -- I'm sure I can make it work somehow. My larger point is that obviously some entries are going to be easier to work with than others in terms of the story hooks...
