I doubt they'd make a keyword for "enters the battlefield, if it was cast from your hand" unless they change how they design creatures and make that the normal case. Right now it's only on a couple of things where they decided it would be too OP if you could get it from flicker/reanimate

Wizards have got a lot better at templating over the years too. Remember the jank of early cards?

Yeah I conflated bad templating and "oddly specific and verbose rules text" Illusionary Mask is a great one, I should have put that instead. Did the face-down creature's static abilities somehow secretly apply back in 1993?

quote:Currently, we are restricting these changes to digital-only cards, where there will be no conflict between a digital and printed version of a card. We would like to expand beyond this (for example, by rebalancing previously banned cards so they can be safely returned to play in digital formats only). There are multiple clarity and communication problems we will need to solve before we can consider those types of changes. This is something we plan to work on in the coming months and, since it bears repeating, would only affect digital formats. Currently only rebalancing the digital-only cards, but they want to do it to more cards later. And unlike the past eras of power level errata, the current rebalances include random tweaks rather than "this thing is way too good in a way we didn't intend"

If I was in charge, and wanted to make it vaguely fit Innistrad, what with the ones we've seen being paying more to remove a [limitation], something like "Unseal" could work, flavoured as people ripping the protective wards off of ancient powerful magic. Although that works better for vaguely-lovecraft Innistrad than for vampire Innistrad

As I understand it, with the current tournament rules it's cheating to intentionally ignore your own triggered abilities, but if you accidentally forget it the opponent doesn't have to point it out.

After the tourmanent, it'll turn out that they only consider you negatively affected by it if you actually triggered the bug, but not if you held back from casting the spell because your opponent could nullify it.

Perry Mason Jar posted:Quick check: Madness cost is 4CMC or 6CMC? "CMC" (or MV these days) refers to the spell/card itself, not abilities that it has. The spell has a CMC of 3 regardless of how you cast it. If you want to cycle it and then cast it with madness, it'll cost you six mana in total, spread across two separate payments. If you discard it for some other reason (maybe an opponent cast a discard spell at you) you can cast it with madness for four mana.

My guess is that they'll be conspiracy like things that sit in your command zone giving your commander some extra ability and/or extra colour identity, and that like conspiracies they'll only be allowed in draft. Lets them apply to any commander in a draft without cluttering up the text of every commander and without completely breaking the wider non-draft game.

kalel posted:if there was a "exiled this way" clause it would pretty cut and dry. as it stands we'll know for sure when the arena devs come out and say the game engine let you cast it (or didn't let you cast it) the way they intended, kind of like when alrund, god of the cosmos' ability was templated wrong and they only caught it during implementation It looks pretty cut and dried to me? The permission to cast from exile is part of the ability that exiles it as a cost, so if you exiled it some other way you didn't activate the ability so you don't get to cast it from exile.

It's a bit of a dodgy comparison since the sets are different ages and were printed different amounts and reprints affect things etc etc etc, but Saviors has seven cards scryfall lists at >$10 for their native printing, compared to two for Prophecy. And in terms of the sets as a whole rather than a few top cards, "If you have seven cards in your hand do something unexciting" might be a bad mechanic but it's better than "sacrifice a land: do something unexciting" and "do something unexciting unless your opponent pays 1"

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Yeah, if you remove the creature the caster targeted the second clause fizzles, right? The spell doesn't target, you choose the creature on resolution and the opponent can't kill it in response. The effect of the odd clause is to make it so that if you have no creatures on the board you don't get to wrath.

There's nothing in the main rules about freely untapping your lands before you spend the mana. The tournament rules allow takebacks at the judge's discretion provided that you gained no information (including no fishing for opponent's reactions), which I think has been semi-formalised as you're allowed to undo tapping your lands if you haven't done anything since you tapped them. But this case clearly isn't covered there since rolling the d20 gives you information.

Lord_Magmar posted:Choose your own dual land for commander but you can only have one is a weird design, four of these in normal decks but you have to choose which colour pair is also kinda funky. Nobody will use this land except in Limited. ETB tapped and get one of two colours is pretty marginal (at common you'd expect an extra perk like scry or a sac ability or something, and at rare you'd expect a conditional way for it not to ETB tapped), and there are multiple better cycles in Standard right now.
