Chamale posted:The rumour has existed before that the Forbidden Mechanic was a variant of pwnage, and the Eldrazi mechanic of stealing cards from exile is somewhat similar to Pwnage. Maybe that's it? No, Aaron Forsythe really did spoil what Forbidden was at PAX. Apparently to some random kid that asked a Yu-Gi-Oh question. Maro followed up on it today: "Forbidden cards were cards with huge effects compared to their cost. For example, a sorcery for R that dealt 6 damage to target creature or player. The trick was you couldn’t put them in your deck directly and you needed other cards to be able to even get them into your deck during play." It sounds sort of like wishes or something. But "Forbidden" makes sense if you aren't normally allowed to get them in your deck. Maro said he hopes he could use it some day.

Madmarker posted:Dude maybe thats happened to you, and that sucks, but I honestly can't recall a single time I've encountered it. Beyond that, if someone was smugly recounting that story in earshot of a judge they could probably face a dq or worse. Your internet anecdote sounds very made up. Except I've seen it too, and even seen players trade for cards for that exact reason. The exact words "it'd harder for your opponents to understand" having been uttered multiple times. And no a judge won't dq you for saying it's harder to understand. If you lie about what the card does sure. But I've seen people hurriedly go through a card before then next they are asked again act annoyed repeat it's power and toughness and say something to the effect of "i already told you what it did". Most nerds who play magic are so confrontation adverse that they can be easily bullied into not calling a judge and there's all kinds of mind games that go into bigger tournamaents. Hell I played a star city event just last month against a guy who was using japanese text mill deck and "misremembered" what Sphinx's Tutelage did (I didnt and called him on it) I'm sure that people who try to stack their deck or do shuffle manipulation are fake to you too.

The spoiled Ob has "draw a card" on it as a + ability, in mono-color. It'll see play. Kiora is probably my favorite current planeswalker, so it's cool to see her getting even more cards. Hopefully this one is good enough to finally push Sultai control over the hump.

WhalerWren posted:http://imgur.com/a/poX6n I'm so confused about Ob's fashion choices. "Let's see, I'll wear like a faceplate, a thing on my right shoulder, maybe a gauntlet only on my left hand, a pair of shin armor (gotta protect them shins!), and uh...maybe like a nice pair of armor beach shorts. Now to tie the whole look all together...oh, this sash looks nice!" And that pose! He looks like he's taking a selfie while skipping down the boardwalk.

It would make Eternal decks with a wishboard stronger and that's about it, and require a clunky parasitic mechanic to make it ever work in Limited. I really hope they never make an effect with that description.

Going back a few pages but you can ask a judge for oracle text any time you want. You're not going to get in trouble for doing it repeatedly unless we start suspecting you're wasting time - if your opponent plays all unreadable cards then we're there to make them readable

Hopping Ghost posted:My favorite Korean version mistake is that Ashiok's topmost ability is a +1, rather than a +2, on the Korean card. I don't know why that part of the file would have even been touched in localization. I think MaRo mentioned at one point that translated versions of cards literally exist as separate entries in Multiverse, so if things changed during development or somebody hosed up doing copy/paste it makes sense why things like that would happen.

If I feel any question about it when someone plays a foreign language card at an event I'll look it up if it is regular REL or call a judge at comp REL. The only "fix" is the make the expense and inclusion of foreign cards pointless to those people.

Let me put it this way, I am sure there exist some number of people who intentionally obtain foreign versions of cards to misdirect their opponents. What I will say is that I doubt that it is a significant enough percentage for it to be something you will run into personally at every tournament, as Yawgmoth stated. Look there are tons of weird poo poo people who play magic, luckily commander was invented to keep them all in one place. jk

It gets value the turn it comes into play and is mono colored. Yes we would all prefer it be 4 mana and not 5, but at the moment it is a really solid planeswalker. At least wait for the rest of the set to be spoiled before you make your terrible predictions.
