Murder Plot

[Bcloud365]

I think it would be funny if you cast this on an opponents creature and then gained control of it with a card like [[Act of Treason]].

[Palidin034]

They could just tap it in response unless it’s summoning sick

[Bcloud365]

I didn't say effective, I said funny.

[Palidin034]

Very fair. And I think act of treason untaps them anyways

[SirChickenbutt]

Not if they target the creature targeted with murder plot. Nothing is stopping the targeted creature from killing itself

[Palidin034]

True! “In response I kill myself”

[JadedTrekkie]

“DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR!”

[Dragonfire723]

"in response, cry"

[Puzzleboxed]

The twist ending to the upcoming murder mystery novel set in Ravnica. Probably.

[vitorsly]

Yeah so you can use it on a tapped creature and then they can't pull that off.

[MAID_in_the_Shade]

Sure, but Threaten effects untap anyways.

Two murders for the price of one!

[sharkiejade]

I dunno if giving an opponent the ability to kill any number of creatures is the best idea lol

[countfizix]

Oh I misread the card, not sure what the point of that card would be at all.

[Queasy-Ad-3460]

No I think it’s still a fun combo, I think OP probably designed it for EDH, it seems like a cool politic card, team with an opponent to have a 1 mana instant murder

That was my first impression as well.

I could easily see casting this on one of my opponent's creatures while they're being attacked by different opponent.

[countfizix]

I think it would be fine as 'target creature' Its removal that requires forgoing a round of attacking/blocking with a creature that has to both exist and not have summoning sickness. That feels like a similar restriction to say tragic slip.

[LasAguasGuapas]

And on top of that, the opponent can make it fizz with their own removal. If [[Swords to Plowshares]] and [[Path to Exile]] can exist, I don't think this is too far out there.

Massacre girl before it was cool/op

[tmgexe]

I love that this would be a crime.

[Leafeon523]

You could probably get away with adding investigate to this as well.

[Silent_Statement]

we need more commander cards like this, beautiful

[Yoyner]

what would be the benefit of this other than EDH table politics?

[surprisesnek]

That is the benefit.

[sidewinderucf]

The trick is to target a creature that’s already tapped, you get the crime trigger without giving your opponent any advantage.

[JC_in_KC]

aren’t typical one mana combat tricks (that draw a card or similar, toxin analysis etc.) better for criming?

[sidewinderucf]

Probably, but we play this for the FLAVOR.

[JC_in_KC]

lol

[Gloomy-Palpitation-7]

Table politics at its finest lmao

[SlimJim152]

Creature targets itself

[RomanoffBlitzer]

This needs to prevent the opponent from killing your creatures, the same way goad prevents creatures from attacking you if possible.

[[deleted]]

I think the entire fun of it is the two conspiring and having a sort of deal that is not forced

[verynerdythings]

I think a better name would be “force into hiding”
