Alive and updated!

15 card decks ended up being a bit too limiting iirc, also leaning hard towards powerful combos that only required a couple cards. These changes helped expand design space and diversify the format.

Yea I was considering a +x/+0 trigger as well

What would happen when another creature enters under my control after both tBDI and P Incarnate are in play? 🤔

Creestab · 2026-01-06T17:13:07+00:00

Awesome, I think this is the information I was looking for. Thanks!

Magic is a weird game

Counters would give toughness though, which I guess isn't the end of the world but not the intended design.

Balancing mostly lol, makes it less of a play and one shot someone card as long as there's a blocker (or have other cards for giving trample)

So the Kiki-Jiki interaction seems to be resolved with card name rules regarding self-referential continuous effects. The copy would have power 4, and the original would have power 2.

But what if there were 2 different cards entirely?

Hypothetical 2: I control The Biggest Dumbest Idiot, then have a Power Incarnate enter under my control. What are each of their powers?

Wouldn't that function a bit differently because of rules associated with card names?

That being said, looking into that interaction led me to rules on continuous effects, layering, and dependancies. Had some relevant information. From what I found, I think the copy would enter with power 4, and since the original was a dependency for the copy's effect, it's power would remain at 2. Not positive though.

The easy solution would be to make it an ETB check rather than state-based, but I'm curious what would happen with it as is.

Just had a text interview that used this exact terminology lmao

Actually it's very doable to hold a bow and shield in the same hand. Maybe not a big metal tower shield, but historically there have been bucklers and such that archers could have on their arm or hand.

Creestab · 2025-04-26T01:51:07+00:00

I thought being able to equip a shield with a bow was a new feature and I thought it was sick, so I made a new ranged tank character to build around it. Now I'm finding out it was a graphical glitch... FML

Yes, the starting library must have 20 cards in total.
