So I'm doing The Wizard of Oz for theatre and I get to play Oz which is neat because it's a role that's both small and important but I don't play Professor Marvel, which is a fucking stupid casting decision IMHO.
The guy who plays Professor Marvel also does the voice of Oz, which could be interesting thematically but also could, by the same token, be also fucking stupid.
I love my director to death but sometimes, man, sometimes she just does the dumbest things.
this makes me sad because usually I find that i retain stuff best if i do the little assignments the night before class so the class acts as a sort of review thing that helps cement it
but I guess that doesn't fly when shit like this happens
the only reason i use it is because that's what i started out with (and, by corollary, what I'm most comfortable with) and I don't have the funds to upgrade to something uniformly better.
I was thinking less "you can cheat it out" than "it's got an effect that can be used both offensively and defensively that begs for interesting combos and is a fairly chunky flier to boot"
Fair. I can think of a couple of instakill combos off the top of my head. Just seems a bit too easy. If I'm using a combo, I prefer it to be something that requires, like, three cards.
And most people don't have the requisite assembly of cards to cheat it in that early. Thank you, Wizards, for putting Tinker and most of its ilk on the banlist in almost every format. And yet I must always hate you for not banning Arcum Dagsson. Always. No, I don't care that you upped the mana cost and added some restrictions. It's still repeatable Tinker, darnit.
For one thing, anything that changes lifetotal counts as a lifegain or lifeloss. A couple of cards double the effect of both of those for either you or your opponents (e.g. Wound Reflection, Rhox Faithmender), which can lead to killing your opponent immediately or getting back to 20 life or higher.
There are also a number of cards that have effects based on an opponent's lifetotal that would be useful here, like Blood Baron of Vizkopa or Hidgetsu's Second Rite
Amazon is not a nice place to work for unless you are some super ambitious droid willing to work 60+ hours per week. The unofficial saying is "If you want work/life balance, you don't love your job enough to work here."

Hey uh I wrote a thing and I put it on my personal thread, and I'm submitting it to an academic festival so I'd kinda like some feedback if that's okay
commentary from my friend, on the perspective character of the visual novel "go go nippon"
"plato's cave, but with weeb shit"
basically, the perspective character: 1. is amazed that he can use a remotely-sensed card to board trains 2. is amazed that a train station has a ton of shops 3. is amazed that japan has 24-hour convenience stores and vending machines, and thinks that they are the sign of a safe neighborhood 4. is a weeb, but... 5. yet is such a fail weeb that he does not recognize either "makoto" or "akira" can be girls' names.
conclusion, he's a country bumpkin that has seen nothing but DBZ and One Piece.
Good job recognizing a terrible card. When I started out, I was convinced that all cards were somehow playable, because why would they print bad cards?
if they got rid of the "until end of turn" clause, you could stick it on a small flyer and use it as a nice early-to-mid-game disruptive thing possibly
as is it's basically useless because why the fuck would you want to change what your opponent's card says for the rest of your turn after you attack
Well, if you were using it presumably you'd use it on your own cards so you could...I don't know, change your guy with protection from black to protection from blue if you're facing an opponent playing blue? But it only lasts until the end of the turn and it isn't active until after you attack, so yeah, still totally pointless.
Cipher is still a pretty good mechanic though, just for the potential for getting a lot of mileage out of one card. They mostly shine in Limited, but I play this in EDH:
The best part about that is if your opponent has a creature and you don't (which is when you need one most, of course) you can cast this and encode it on the clone.
One of the great weaknesses of Science is this mistaken idea that if an experiment contradicts the dominant theory, we should throw out the theory instead of the experiment.
I am expected to take the above author seriously on the internet.
I think my previous TCG experience has helped me learn the MTG ropes a bit faster, though MTG does work rather differently than other games i've played so i've had to unlearn some habits
like in YGO hand destruction is absolutely the most crippling thing so when I saw Mind Rot i was all HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT
Honestly, the thing that makes Trait Doctoring bad is the sorcery part more than anything. You can do some really nasty things with instant speed colour changes.

I emailed the professor a couple hours back
I'm glad that she's an understanding sort
but I guess that doesn't fly when shit like this happens

could you break your opponents cards with that?
otherwise that doesn't seem terribly useful

quick question: could that second effect there be activated at any time, and could it be activated in response to an opponent's removal to stop it?
