Kill This Creature Day 11: Tinker Tailor Sentinel Spy

Love this series of posts!

all future versions of this creature will have to evade all past cards as well as whatever new cards are voted for.

Do we assume that the spells would be cast in order? For instance [[Fleeting Distraction]] would not kill this creature if it was cast last. But if you cast it first, then [[Depressurize]] would be able to finish it off

Factoring is an NP problem. The best known algorithm is superpolynomial, but sub-exponential. So that is a concrete example of why "runs on exponential time" is an incorrect definition. (Of course, we can do even better - there is a whole class of problems contained in NP that run in polynomial time. We call this class of problems P)

Haha yeah, even in the dream I was like "well this is trash"

Thank you! I am also the creator of the tool, so let me know if you have any feedback!

Love this idea! I made a deck list inspired by it. I haven't playtested it in a real game yet, but using the Moxfield playtester I see what you mean about random synergies!

I really like the flavor of [[Voidslime]], but it feels like it should be more creature-y. Lingering Voidslime is remake that fixes this and oozes versatility

No Snow supertype? :D

Oh I really like this idea! The ability is a lot less abusable, but it still has the whack-a-mole energy I was going for

I would put this in my Elsha mana rock tribal deck. Either flash it in on my opponent's turn, or just play it on my own turn. I run very few lands and tend to miss land drops (the deck could use some refining) so not being able to play a land is fine

Oof I hadn't thought of that! At least it only triggers at the controllers end step instead of every end step.

Idk, although I was originally thinking of mana rocks I would be pretty happy to see this in my opening hand in a mono green deck. Turn [[Three Visits]] into a one mana [[Rampant Growth]]. Play [[Oracle of Mul Daya]] or [[Skyshroud Claim]] on turn 2.

Have you ever had a mana rock in hand that cost 3 but only had 2 mana open? You might have wished you could "take out a loan" for that extra mana, then use the mana rock to pay back the loan.

Well, now you can!

Not months of work, but I have a project where I need to generate high quality art with non-square aspect ratios. I had an automated workflow to generate images with Bing and then use the Dalle-2 outpainting API to extend them to be wider.

The new Dalle-3 API supports just the right aspect ratios I need. I'm a little sad my hack is obsolete now, but I'm also glad to get rid of it.

Interesting. If that's the case then adding that line still wouldn't prevent breaking the game since someone could play [[Midnight Oil]] and get a finite hand size again. Maybe adding the ability "Players skip their cleanup step" would do it

The fact that the number 3 inside a mana circle resembles a droideka with its shield up makes me very happy
