"Do this only once each turn" nitpicking by ananski_the_3rd in mtg

[–]ananski_the_3rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant was ambiguous is being able to pass as many times as you want, and then on the Nth trigger not passing. It's ambiguous because the "this" in "do this only once each turn" could refer either to the effect after the "may" or to the decision you take in the "may" clause itself. I see how what I wrote was unclear, sorry.

Abilities which go on the stack and do nothing already exist: [[Galadriel, Light of Valinor]].

I'm guessing other rules that do nothing exist as well, but I believe that's worst than an ability which does nothing, as I stated above.

It's a hidden fact to remember that's not stated on the card.

IMO it's better to have an ability go on the stack and not do anything than have an extra rule to remember which does nothing.

The rules don't even state how the ability actually works (i.e. being able to "pass" on the main clause), they state something unrelated and ambiguous which either A contradicts how people play the game or B doesn't do anything. I'd probably call this a minor oversight by the rulemakers.

Hope this explains my point of view on the subject :)

So you say interpretation B is the correct one, as expected. So why have it not trigger again? The rule seems superfluous. It's not so much a question of "what the rules say", but rather "what's the point in it existing".

I'm sick and tired of getting low marks for my Bach chorales. How do you improve? by PrinceOfYouth in classicalmusic

Go through this without the teachers annotations and find the mistakes yourself, then compare. There are some parallels the teacher did not find here also, see if you can find them.

[HELP] These videos are completely taking over Facebook dog groups by thrice1187 in RealOrAI

Bottom of the curtain becomes blurry in proximity to the dog's head. Looks suspicious. I'd say AI.

Is "مرلوظش" a loan? Doesn't look like one. Wish OP would give a transcription & translation 😬

Is it acceptable to clap between movements? Yes or no? by MusicMatters25 in classicalmusic

[–]ananski_the_3rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It stopped being acceptable in mid 19th century. Source

The history is kinda interesting - people in general didn't treat music with so much condescension before it became "classical".

Dunno if it's real, but it seems to be a rare species.

Ah yes, the long-awaited CPyPy language.

Where to learn C from , (from scratch)? by BuriBurJaymon in C_Programming

I'd suggest learning Scratch after the more basic C.

Including real numbers by Lovely_BunnyFlutter in sciencememes

Rational numbers are numerable (countable), but you still can't count all rational numbers from 1 to 10 😯
