I like how you can Ensoul Artifact on something that's already an artifact creature. Like, say, making Blightsteel Colossus so it takes two hits to kill you instead of 1.

If I enchanted Cranial Plating, would it be equipped to itself like how a living artifact is?

If you turn equipment into a creature it can never be equipped and falls off anything it is currently equipped to.quote:212.2i An Equipment that's also a creature can't equip a creature. Equipment that loses the subtype "Equipment" can't equip a creature. An Equipment can't equip itself. An Equipment that equips an illegal or nonexistent permanent stops equipping that permanent, but remains in play. (This is a state-based effect. See rule 420.)

In theoretical EDH Magical Christmas Land, could you Ensoul Artifact a non-artifact that has become one via Darksteel Mutation being put on it?

Fun things to do: Step 1. Get both Nicol Bolas and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker into play. Step 2. Play Mycosynth Lattice. Step 3. Play Bludgeon Brawl. Step 4. Equip your Robot Nicol Bolas with your other Robot Nicol Bolas[, Planeswalker] and watch him crack skulls with his skulls!

That artifact crab, which is a decent enough card in most sets, appears to have been designed as an answer to Elspeth. He walks over her soldiers, and if she kills it, you just redirect his trigger damage to her face.

Rinkles posted:That sounds great. How have Wizards not C&Ded that to hell? It doesn't have multiplayer, you can only play against the AI. And the developers have been pretty clear about wanting to keep it that way. Not that that would somehow protect it from being C&Ded, what I mean is that the lack of multiplayer seems to have kept it enough under the radar that Wizards either hasn't noticed it or hasn't cared.

Does anyone know if tiny was done to keep some other weird rules interaction in check, or is it actually just a flavor thing?

Plus there's a bunch of MTG software out and I'm pretty sure they haven't been C&D'd either. Forge looks like a fun piece of software, but its still no Shandalar and I'm betting the DOTP series is still more intro friendly.

Forge is kinda neat but playing against the CPU gets old pretty fast. The charm of Shandalar was walking around on the map, finding secrets and battling with terrible decks and it's hard to replicate this in a menu-based game like Forge or DotP.

There was on old Pokemon TCG game for the Gameboy that had an overworld and bosses along with packs and deck building. It would be nice to take this concept and apply to a Magic game. Hell, even Yugioh had a bunch of similar games and their cards are a lot more wordy and complex so it shouldn't be too difficult for Magic to do it.

The other issue with Forge is that the AI is really dumb-as-rocks. (Well, being honest, it's probably isn't any worse than the Shandalar AI, but the card pool the game's working with really shows off the AI shortcomings). It will attack X/2s into a Festering Newt all day, for example, because it doesn't think they'll trade. Also even though the AI decks in quest mode ramp up to fairly powerful combo-ish decks way too quickly, the AI has no idea how to play them. For example, there's a Melira-Persist deck, and even when the AI lands the combo (Melira + Persist creature + sac outlet that deals 1 damage), it just ignores it. If you play a 1-toughness creature it will kill it, but it doesn't seem to understand that it can repeat the combo steps to deal more than 1 damage to something. When you combine the relative difference in power levels between your deck and your opponent's (the AI decks are way better than yours), with how boneheaded the AI acts, the game feels more like gaming the AI into giving you a win instead of playing an actual game of Magic.

Years ago, my guilty pleasure was playing the YuGiOh GBA games just because I wanted that Shandalar experience again. YuGiOh is a terrible game, but when you're playing what amounts to bad limited decks* against equally bad AI decks, it was kind of fun. *YuGiOh doesn't have limited formats. They released one little set that was supposed to experiment with draft, but I only saw YuGiOh players try it once. They failed miserably - packs accidentally stacked on one another, passing in the wrong direction, etc. Are you sure that was a Pokemon TCG game? I'll have to look into that.

One year there was a 'house rules' area that you can unlock where you fight in a place with no rules and restrictions and you could use the Egyptian God Cards (some flavor about waging your soul in each fight.) The best booster farming deck was the first turn Exodia win deck where you pack your deck with Exodia pieces and cycle through your entire deck to win on the first turn.

It's hilarious giving the forge AI Modern Affinity. I usually just give it some zoo or white weenie list to play against since it can play those fairly well.

Normally, protection from all colors would remove a white aura, right? Thats a new, special clause for this card, not reminder text on a core set card?

End of Life Guy posted:Normally, protection from all colors would remove a white aura, right? Thats a new, special clause for this card, not reminder text on a core set card? Yeah, it's an expansion of the clause from White Ward. Now riddle me this: Why does Black Ward et. al have the same clause? Because they thought people would actually use Deathlace or Sleight of Mind effects to defeat the wards.
