Yeah, there are cards that strip all abilities from creatures, but is this one of those weird cases where a specific ability is removed that has never specifically been targeted before? Seems possible.

There's plenty of stuff that is like all creatures lose [keyword] or the like, I think. for example: https://scryfall.com/card/mir/158/blind-fury

For sure, but “target creature loses flying” is different than “remove flying from target creature”. No I don’t know how they would do this, I just don’t want this to be emblem removal because who gives a poo poo.

Yeah, but it feels a bit of a cop-out to say 'removes something never removed before' when they mean 'removes something that gets removed all the time but in a way never done before'

It's Odrivia, Odric and Olivia's daughter. The first Vampire Baby creature type

Apparently they’ve confirmed that it’s a union of the Markov and Voldaren bloodlines, so maybe it’s not Odric, but the cowards at WOTC will never give us the Olivia/Thalia wedding we deserve.

I guess theoretically it could apply to something that can target any card in exile, since anything that plays with cards in exile put them there in the first place.

It's basically like decay with a twist, right? Zombie gains flying, does damage (from being used as a cannonball), dies after attacking. It's perfection.

Saw it. He drew the land instead of putting into play tapped, so he split the difference and put it into play from his hand untapped for his second land drop.

Yeah. He was trying keep mana up for Force of Negation but he DID have a blue card in hand anyway. I think it's possible that it was an honest mistake because you have to be really dumb to do that on purpose on camera when everyone and their mother will catch it.

Every single one of us has messed up in paper; with the extra land probably being the most common.

My bane is going through a million game actions after Jace brainstorm and then going for it again. I just started tapping the dude sideways if my opponent is cool with it.

It's the poo poo like that guy who thumbed a land to his opponents top when shuffling that is just bonkers to do on camera.

My experience with these sorts of people is that they cheat so often and so readily, that to them that is just how you play magic. Honestly, it's really pathetic.

Yes. Please be emblems. Planeswalkers aren't special anymore. Emblems aren't a rare occurrence to materialize during a game anymore. Let me get rid of them.
