MTG is so weird and complicated now that there is probably some obscure situation or ruleset where this is a useful card.

I am sorry to be the baron of bad news, but you seem buttered, so allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies, and are more than just ice king on the cake. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite.

So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality.

I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the fax, instead of making a half-harded effort. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it's a peach of cake.

There are definitely decks that could use it - you'd need to be playing cards which provide a benefit when enchantments are played. Though I can't name any off the top of my head, they do exist.

So will the jokes take too much explanation to be funny? Because I know nothing about the game, but I'm also not a dickhead that rushes to announce that he's too cool for nerdy things

poo poo I've played MtG on and off for a decade and I don't get most of them.

Is it...that most of them are nonsense?

Judge Schnoopy posted:

No, this is definitely a readable sentence and makes perfect sense you're probably missing the joke somewhere else and should keep looking

That just parses like bad grammar to me. "Whenever you cast, a creature is put into a graveyard. It deals..."

Judge Schnoopy posted:

Please diagram the second sentence on that card and enlighten me on what it's supposed to be saying. Either my brain is broken or it's total bs word salad

I typed up a bunch of stuff before I had a moment of self awareness wherein I realized nobody gives a poo poo, but suffice it to say that you're wrong. It is procedurally generated nonsense, as has been posted several times in this thread already.

freeedr posted:

I know it's computer-generated nonsense; the poster who originally posted it said so. I was elaborating on why I wasn't sure if there was more to it that was funny and why I asked if there was any further explanation, since I had no knowledge of the context of the card game.

I have literally no idea how nerd wizard poker works but I found the idea of a card whose only function is giving you that card to be somewhat amusing.

It's worse than that: When you play it, it goes straight back into your hand so you can play it again, forever. Except you have limited resources to play it, so no infinite loop. It's still probably worth playing in some contexts though...
