He's outta line...

But he's right!
Prior to Eldraine, there was only 1 card that removed a creature's abilities and was a cantrip. It was also green.

Checkmate.

Considering that I think rosewater loving hates Song of the Dryads I imagine he should hate this card too, but probably doesn't for some reason he definitely didn't just make up.

Making a creature a smaller or bigger creature sounds green to me

I get the impression that the reversible nature of it makes it less egregious than Beast Within.

Actually now that I think about it this is just a white card, what the gently caress?

Green can’t destroy permanents of any kind with an effect like Beast Within, but that’s very different to this card that only affects creatures. I think his objection to those other cards was that they blew up everything, which this specifically doesn’t

No. He specifically objects to green targeting creatures with beast within. https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/91974778588/i-dont-understand-how-beast-within-can-be-a-color

blogatog posted:

colorsofphilosophy asked: I don't understand how Beast Within can be a color pie violation when Rapid Hybridization is not. Neither green nor blue is supposed to be able to deal with creatures so easily. Why does blue get a pass where green does not?

Blue is allowed to change creatures into other creatures. Green is not. Polymorphing is a blue thing. Note that I do not like the word “destroy” on blue cards and prefer when the polymorphing exiles or puts it on bottom of library (or the change is done through an enchantment).

Green getting Naturalize was part of the Onslaught-era color pie shuffling, which was also when Red got to steal rituals from Black.

EDIT: Reprint Brightstone Ritual you cowards.

Does anyone here have good ideas on how to keep a home office tidy when, as a magic player, you inevitably have various piles of cards, be they half constructed decks, or "uncommons I don't want to put into the full storage because then I won't find them and will end up buying more when I need them" etc etc?

It is just a matter of not being lazy. I'm guilty of it as much as the next cardboard slinger, but you really just need to stay on top of putting stuff away when you're done with it. Or just focusing on one project at a time to minimize the clutter.
