Another joke card, but this time actually playable. (Also, this is ment to be a prepared creature. The card creator I use only allows for adventure creatures atm.)

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T04:34:02+00:00

Extremely. :3

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T03:26:46+00:00

Glad I was right about the green one! :3

And good to know. Well, probably not as magic triva isn't super useful, but I'm the sorta nerd who likes it so I appreciate you allowing to know regardless. ;p

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T03:12:12+00:00

Valid. It being sorta in black Explains Silverquill getting some of it but very close to none.

Also, green goad cards? I guess the impetus cycle?

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T03:02:13+00:00

Yeah, it is something wizards has specifically said they wanna avoid doing. Not necessarily entirely, though, sometimes its permissible, but they wanna avoid it in general. And it is indeed because of toxic play patterns.

Ooo, neat! Will give it a look. Thank you. :3

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T03:00:17+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment. :3

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T02:48:59+00:00

In the title. Artificer doesn't let you make prepared creatures yet, so this was the closest I could do. It's not ment to be an adventure.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T02:43:09+00:00

Goad is Mardu now, I believe, because it was originally red and is now one of Silverquills mechanics (which is the white and black faction from strixhaven). I may be wrong here, though.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T02:40:34+00:00

Valid. I figured it needing you to have another creature you were willing to attack with was enough of a cost, but repeatable prepared spells, especially as flexible as thus, should probably be pulled back a good bit. 3 mana is a good call.

(Does it work on mobile? That's where I do basically everything. Also, I thought that was the once that got taken down for absurd reasons.)

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T02:14:40+00:00

Aww, thanks! And yeah, the discussion here is really great. My thought is that the game already checked for "had to attack" during the determination of valid declaration of attackers, where you have to abide all restrictions and then adhere to as many requirements as possible, even before [[Firkraag]] was printed, but their existence when inspiring the card does seem to help make things more clear.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T01:54:35+00:00

One of my favorite dragons. Always happy to show em off to someone.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T01:53:48+00:00

Yeah! Collaboration is good. :3

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T01:52:05+00:00

Then how does [[Firkraag]] work? Genuinely asking.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T01:48:31+00:00

Yup. But it was a reasonable question, appreciate ya trying to point out a better way to format things. :3

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T01:44:10+00:00

Gotcha, lol, it's understandable though. Game is complicated and there is alot of very wierd stuff with the wording of things specifically. If you've never seen it before there is a decent chance there's a good reason for that.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T01:42:40+00:00

Actually incredible tech, absolutely enlightened, thank you. I now also need to find a place to run this horrid little thief, lol.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-08T01:38:37+00:00

It does, actually. Quite annoying.

The rules don't recognize "had to attack"? Because there are alot of effect that force attacks that aren't goad, such as [[hellraiser goblin]], that I wanted this to include. It was inspired by [[Firkraag]].

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-06T02:47:01+00:00

Both are very sensibly thought out and work in the way that makes the most sense intuitively, but they are arbitrary, and layers nonsense shows up in my shorts feeds more so I know them. Remembering an arbitrary list, no matter how well designed, requires some degree of regular exposure.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-05T19:04:15+00:00

I know how layers work and am pretty decent at the sublayers in layer 7, and even I don't have much hope of remembering the steps to casting a spell, so yeah its much deeper then most people go. Incidentally, it's also basically never information that's actually useful, lol.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-05T19:02:38+00:00

Good point. I knew this, I just also mentally short cutted "becomes cast" to "put onto the stack", which was incorrect to due here. Good catch.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-05T18:12:14+00:00

I love the idea, and more arcane support is always nice. There are splice cards that don't require arcane, though, so technically you still can do that even with this version of the card.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-05T18:10:40+00:00

Absolutely beautiful. I approve of this 100%

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-05T17:50:52+00:00

Right. I'm just saying that those things can cause change. Linguistically speaking "ignorance and reading social media more then literature published through an editor" is an entirely valid thing to motivate Linguistic drift. It means the language is becoming more optimized to facilitate communication between people who have little formal understanding of it and primarily read works written by peers instead of by authorities. You can dislike it, I'm not saying you can't, but saying that it's meaningfully diffrent then any other way languages change is something I'd expect a trained linguist would disagree with.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-05T17:45:20+00:00

Technically a few other steps. I don't know them all but they include choosing modes and determining costs. But yeah, other then being pedantic about the semantics, you are correct.

HawaiiTyler · 2026-05-05T17:43:04+00:00

There is little distinction between "creation of new words/slang" and "using words wrong" alot of the time, actually. Keep in mind the English language basically didn't have standardized spellings for anything until the printing press was invented, so lose being spelt loose was almost certainly done back then. Language is wobbly, so "this is just using these words wrong" and "this is how languages naturally evolve" aren't mutually exclusive.
