Murder is a great card though! It can be reprinted in any set due to it's simplicity and flavor. Lots of good one-word names were kind of wasted during the pre-block Legends era though.

For example, Frenzy Sliver and Frenetic Sliver have the same name in French (Slivoide Frénétique), and they were in the same block.

Kurtofan posted:Non-English cards having the same name happens all the time. If I remember correctly, Wizards delegates the naming of foreign-language cards to their foreign divisions, whom may not be as diligent about names as Wizards in the U.S. Also, a lot of languages just plain don't have as many words for a certain concept as there are in English.

Boxman posted:That seems like an oddly specific rule. Does anyone know if tiny was done to keep some other weird rules interaction in check, or is it actually just a flavor thing? It's just "creatures can't be attached to things". Only auras and equipment(and fortifications) can, and only while they aren't creatures.

That's the rule, but it still doesn't really explain why. I'm guessing it's just for the confusing board states it would make, and the potential of opening a black hole when you manage to equip something to itself.

If this new aura sees play, that's a good reason to run big artifact creatures.

It protects against removal once it resolves, but while it's still on the stack it's a five mana blowout waiting to happen. That's a problem if your opponent is running lots of instant-speed removal. If they're relying on things like Banishing Light, or they're tapped out, you're fine. But if they Doom Blade your guy while you're casting this monster, you're going to have a bad time.

Yea I doubt that card will see play in any 60 card format. Absolute blowout in limited and a high pick. Just gotta play it carefully in limited.

It's like how when they printed that triggered ability copier they had to errata Duplicant to only have the power/toughness of the *last* imprinted card. Having two powers and toughnesses is technically supported by the rules but nobody who isn't like an L4 would get it right. vOv fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Jul 3, 2014 |

Let me guess - both powers deal the damage, lethal damage greater than or equal to the lesser toughness kills the creature?

LordSaturn posted:Yeah, it's an expansion of the clause from White Ward. To be fair, a lot of color hosers back then were powerful enough to be game winning effects if you were vulnerable to them, and having the ability to turn them back on your opponent made Magical Hack and Slight of Mind good if you were playing against someone you knew had those cards. What I find funny is that they keep trying to reprint better versions of the color changing cards and they're always utter junk now, not because of the card itself, but because the environment doesn't have any effects that are worth spending a card to flip on your opponent.

Bob asks "What is your CMC?" The split card answers "3 and 5," so you lose 8. A creature with p/t's 2/2 and 20/20 gets dealt two damage. The game asks "Do you have lethal damage on you?" And the creature answers "Yes and no," so it dies. Doran asks "What is your toughness?," it answers "2 and 20."
