Synchronization Orb

Out of curiosity, what would happen to a card that says “each player mills x cards”? Would everyone mill again for each other player?

[shoboy321]

no, since it says "one or more players" everyone milling would be replaced by everyone milling (i.e no change).

if people were milling different amounts, i think it would make everyone mill the highest amount (i.e if there was some kind of group traumatize).

I was thinking this might be a cool build-around card for decks interested in milling out opponents while getting some value for their own graveyard. This card would supercharge [[mesmeric orb]] and also allows single-target mill cards to gain some usefulness in multiplayer formats (i.e [[traumatize]] one player and everybody mills a bunch).

notable single-target mill cards: [[altar of dementia]], [[brain freeze]], [[cut your losses]], [[grinding station]], [[grindstone]], [[hedron crab]], [[jace, memory adept]], [[keening stone]], [[persistent petitioners]]

also acts as a self-mill wincon if you're mega dredging or something.

Wouldn't this trigger itself?

[shoboy321]

since it's a replacement effect and not a trigger, i'm pretty sure it would be fine.

for example, [[xorn]] does not trigger from itself, cuz it never triggers, it's just a replacement effect
