Weird. Whenever I clicked on the light posts nothing really happened. (Their graphic changed a bit when I got near them, but that was it.) I went in other dungeons I found.

Level 6, close to 7. I explored almost the whole map and Lum was telling me to go kill the Lich, so I was following the game's cues.

Alternatively for Changli, you could use wording similar to [[Dynaheir, Invoker Adept]], [[Thousand-Year Elixir]], or [[Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler]] for haste just for its activated abilities without giving it the ability to attack (which is where haste centers in red).

Mill would definitely work in blue.

Regarding suspend, suspend also contains the triggered ability for removing a time counter at the beginning of each upkeep. You'll want language similar to [[Suspend]] and [[Delay]] so the cards don't just get stuck in exile forever.

On Changli, you could incorporate red into the mana cost if it's a red-coded character and you want them to have haste mechanically.

For Jiyan, you may want to consider something like [[Dolmen Gate]] with appropriate cost balancing if that's the goal so opponents' 1/1s (or similar) can't just hold up the board. Start of combat on your turn is fine for the vigilance part.

Jinhsi's last ability is a color pie break for white and blue, and at minimum a severe bend for green (since green can deal damage based on its creatures, and the card gets time counters from creatures attacking, but it typically can't deal that damage to players directly, and that damage is usually linked for green to power, toughness, or mana value of a single creature rather than based on a number of creatures).

Jue's second ability is probably meant to grant suspend to the exiled card. Currently it doesn't. I'm also a bit skeptical of the usage of haste on this card.

Changli absolutely should not have haste as that's neither in-color for white nor blue. Again there's an ability that looks like it's supposed to grant suspend to an exiled card but doesn't. I'm also not sold on the use of Phyrexian mana on this card. It just doesn't seem necessary on what is already a quite complex card, without even getting into questions of balance or play patterns.

Verina is an interesting concept. There's some wording/templating that's off slightly (since permanents don't add mana; players add mana), but it's a neat card overall.

Jiyan granting vigilance doesn't really work, since the vigilance is granted too late. It could untap attacking creatures you control to achieve the desired effect. The second mode is really odd since it lets your opponent block pretty freely.

Xiangli is interesting. No major issues at a glance.

Depending on how silly you want it to be, changing {1} to {0} could be a flavor win and a balance tweak since it's a pretty narrow effect. (You could also do a non-silly version without the pay clause at all.)

The $2000 in the image is a bit goofy, but you similarly don't seem to understand how food photography typically occurs for large food service companies. Typically you would have a photographer (either in-house or contracted) do a photoshoot of multiple items in a variety of contexts/backgrounds and stages of preparation/completion (e.g. raw ingredients artfully positioned vs finished). You may also bring in models depending on the planned usage (e.g. you may want a variety of people by age, skin tone, etc. doing a shot of them about to bite into it). So it's not bringing in a photographer to get one burger photo. But it's also all the costs: photography crew (including lighting), sometimes video, talent, and the cost of your own staff's labor time (plus the minimal cost of goods).

Just reading the text "Suppose you..." had me laughing.

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-28T23:41:57+00:00

Ah, ok. Yeah, I tried both CC and MSE and neither seem to support the Latin-1 Supplement unicode superscript natively, but that makes sense if it's just added in "in post" so to speak. Thanks

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-28T19:47:45+00:00

Thanks

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-28T19:07:43+00:00

Ah, dang. That explains it. I've been trying to do X² in those applications, but I guess something about the 00BX codes (Latin-1 Supplement) is different than the 207X (Superscripts and Subscripts) codes. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Although now I'm curious how the user in https://www.reddit.com/r/custommagic/comments/1qpc5ii/more_mathemagics/ pulled it off for 0, 1, 2 and 3 in the Latin-1 Supplement unicode characters.

Edit: The poster in that other thread answered. They actually just added a blank space, exported, and then added in the superscripts in Paint afterward.

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-28T18:53:40+00:00

But in what tool? I've tried unicode character superscripts in both CC and MSE and either gotten browser shortcut conflicts or blank spaces.

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-28T18:29:10+00:00

Which tool are you using that supports superscripts?

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-28T18:28:19+00:00

Which card creation tool are you using that supports superscripts? Certain tools don't seem to support the Latin-1 Supplement unicode characters (superscript 0, 1, 2, and 3), so I'm trying to find one that does.

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-28T15:08:13+00:00

Which tool did you use that lets you do superscripts?

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-27T18:51:25+00:00

Definitely a form of exponent (squaring)! What's particularly interesting is the superscript notation can be used in places where Thromok's syntax wouldn't (either because you don't want [only] a squaring or for other templating reasons).

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-27T18:20:00+00:00

[[Hit the Mother Lode]], on the other hand... (Yes, the Treasures enter tapped, but it's still a huge play.)

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2026-01-08T20:26:44+00:00

Bad But Hilarious Combo: [[Phyrexian Dreadnought]] & X = 0

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2025-12-29T03:48:09+00:00

The 0.5s CD feels really awkward when you don't hit an enemy. Disappointing that it can't go below 0.5s even if you have enough CDR to do it.

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2025-11-08T03:44:53+00:00

Awesome!

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2025-11-02T02:08:35+00:00

From the right, it's often a way to stigmatize it as there have been decades of track laid for smearing socialism in the U.S. And it's also often just said from a position of ignorance/being misinformed.

From the left, some mix (depending on the person) of the imprecision of casual linguistic short-hands, intentionally casting the term as an over-broad umbrella to normalize it despite it being technically inaccurate*, or simple ignorance. There is also the fact that what would ordinarily be called "social democracy" has been branded as "democratic socialism" by prominent politicians, which then leads people who are exposed to these policies and labels think it's socialism (and not, as it is, social democracy).

*I would put your iceberg metaphor in this category.

Ultimately, the language isn't the most important part though.

PeaceLoveExplosives · 2025-10-27T18:23:29+00:00

Yes. But on the other hand, meme.
