Since you can't name the same thing more than once a day, you really need to pace yourself though. If you go out swinging with indestructible and annihilator 6 the first time you drop it, then sure, good chance you win on the spot. But next game? Next match? You're going to have to show some restraint and not doubling up too much on abilities that do kind of the same thing. Defense: Indestructible, hexproof, shroud, protection from everything, undying, persist, absorb 1, transfigure 1BB Aggression: Annihilator 6, afflict 4, renown 6, triple strike, double strike, infect, battle cry, dethrone, poisonous 1, frenzy 1, melee Evasion: Horsemanship, shadow, flying, landwalk, intimidate, fear, menace, skulk, trample Misc: Deathtouch, wither, lifelink, squirrellink, bushido 5, rampage 4, prowess, flanking, provoke, evolve, outlast W/G/B

Your go-to emergency keyword when you have a brainfart that will not do anything good but also do no harm should be.... "haste".

You can also go with any of the keywords that don't really do anything at this stage, like emerge or embalm.

Just give it Banding and a combat based keyword, the time taken up by the rules explanation of how this is going to work will end up drawing the game anyway

You can always name a keyword that doesnt do anything. There are a lot of keywords out there. https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Keyword_ability

The best part about banding with others is that despite there only being six cards in the game that grant it, there are two cards that don't do anything besides remove it - but since they do it from a single creature and all the sources that grant banding with others do so to every creature in a particular category, the cards functionally do nothing. I can only imagine they thought they would be printing that stupid thing on more creatures, but here we are...

TheKingofSprings posted:After your opponent's second cast spell it's essentially unkillable and I assume they'll cast more spells after that? The best part is you don't need to make it unkillable until they try to kill it. Target it with something? Protection from all colors, hexproof, or shroud. Wrath? Indestructable or Undying. Would the name on the Formidable of Dragon-Scarred Bear work? Would it be as printed or with an implicit [card name] instead? If it's the latter, there are a few ways of getting defensive abilities from other keywords like that. Etched Champion's Metalcraft, Masked Gorgon, Mystic Familiar, or Crashing Centuar with Threshold.

Ability words are not keyword abilities and have no rules meaning.

They're very confusingly named, but in general anything in italics might as well not exist on the card.

Can't wait to put Flashback on it. Or Eternalize. Can't you have multiple of the same Keyword with something like, say, Afflict? Like put Afflict 1, 2, and 3 on this thing, because those are all different? Or you know, Annihilator 1, 2, 4, 6?

Magic designers would love to have a card that references "keyword abilities" so they can print a card like Cairn Wanderers and not have to write out a list. But Magic's rules are so patched together that no one knows what a "keyword ability" really is.

Some Numbers posted:No creature has ever had Flashback. You're right, but if we look at the actual wording it's "Whenever an opponent casts a spell, you have five seconds to choose a keyword you haven't chosen for a card named Modular Monstrosity today that's been printed on a creature card." Flashback is a keyword that has been printed on a creature card(such as Snapcaster Mage). ---- Kurtofan posted:Unstable twitch stream starting right about now, they're going to show new cards Stream over Elyv fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Nov 17, 2017 |
