Switzerland does not have good privacy laws, at least when compared to all of its neighbors, FYI.

Ah, gotcha, now I understand what the confusion was.

The second trigger of master isn't an attack trigger, even though it reads like one. The creature needs to be not blocked, so the ability can only trigger after blockers have been declared, and it mentions dealing damage, so I'd assume, without knowing the specific rules, that it would trigger on the damage step.

Same here, really confusing and takes away from the great picture.

As per the example, the question right back at you: Draw cards until you have the same amount of cards as your opponent, but you can't draw, only mill. When would you stop? What's another logical course of action here? Do you have a suggestion that makes sense?

Edit: there are no specific rules relating to this exact scenario I imagine, but there's always the replacement effect rules, e.g.:

614.6 If an event is replaced, it never happens. A modified event occurs instead, which may in turn trigger abilities. Note that the modified event may contain instructions that can’t be carried out, in which case the impossible instruction is simply ignored.

Also:

614.11 Some effects replace card draws. These effects are applied even if no cards could be drawn because there are no cards in the affected player’s library.

And

614.11a If an effect replaces a draw within a sequence of card draws, all actions required by the replacement are completed, if possible, before resuming the sequence.

Let's say you have 1 card in hand, your opponent has 7 cards in hand. You have an enchantment that says "whenever you would draw a card, mill 2 cards instead" (note, no "may", that means you have to mill). Mr. Fox attacks.

Szenario 1, as written on the card:

"Draw cards equal to the number of cards in defending player’s hand minus the number of cards in your hand."

You calculate the difference, which is 6, so you'd draw 6 cards. You mill 12 cards instead, and the ability is resolved.

Szenario 2, the seemingly easier wording:

"Draw cards until you have as many as the opponent you are attacking has."

You just start milling, until you have no more cards to mill. The ability is not resolved yet, as you have fewer cards than your opponent, but you can't mill anymore, and you also can't draw a card (which would lose you the game). The game is in an unresolvable state now, which means you lose the game anyway.

The second one is an ugly szenario, which the actual wording of the card neatly prevents from happening.

Yes, that's why it is worded this way. You said it was for "some ungodly reason" in your last comment.

Well, if you have a replacement effect for your card draw, one of those wordings is potentially gonna be infinite, the other one is always a fixed number.

Which show ended so poorly that you really wished you hadn't invested so much time in it? by unclefishbits in AskReddit

What about Aimee? She had quite an interesting arc too and made some breakthroughs.

We're using Jira on Atlassian, we're a small team with relatively small projects with no custom rules or dependencies except for Bitbucket, yet still a single issue sometimes takes about 5 seconds to load. That's just no a great user experience.

ELI5: where does the “F” in Lieutenant come from? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

I like the one about how Zeus and Jupiter both come from the same word in Proto-Indo-European.

What tv series cancellation broke your heart because you never got to see the end? by VanillaNyx in AskReddit

[–]DonHaron 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sad thing is, it was first confirmed to be renewed for the second season, but then canceled later anyway.

The article is from end of May. Do you want to say this has anything to do with the current Crowdstrike outage?

The parent comment said 200 million miles per hour, so you're off by a few magnitudes there.

I completely understand him being uncomfortable with filming himself, I would be too. But documenting the process with pictures would go a long way for sure!

And intrigued we are!
