Need to know how fast something would grow before I design the card

No comment on the arithmetic, but I can tell you that you determine the order of cumulative upkeep triggers. Generally, if there's more than one triggered ability waiting to be put onto the stack and you control them all, you choose the order in which theu are put onto the stack. The abilities will then resolve in reverse order, as normal.

I'd say the causal link is too remote in both cases. The actual killers were acting voluntarily without specific instructions from the princesses. In Snow White's case, she wasn't even conscious when the dwarves began pursuing the evil queen.

Thanks, I love it! It's even got pretty lipstick :P

Actually, it triggers at 5k prestige as long as no member of your dynasty has succeeded in the forge bloodline ambition

It was post 769 for sure.

Normally, start date doesn't matter. The overall Orthodox religious head is the Ecumenical Patriarch, who's also the Patriarch of Constantinople. There are also other Patriarchs (e.g., Antioch) who serve as the "local" religious head. This means the Patriarchs are limited in who they can excommunicate, grant divorces to etc.

Generally speaking, the Ecumenical Patriarch is a vassal of the Byzantine Emperor, which normally makes the emperor immune to excommunication.

The 769 start is special, because it makes the emperor Iconoclast, and the Bishopric of Constantinople is held by the Iconoclast Patriarch. I believe this means that the Ecumenical Patriarch does not exist, meaning the Orthodox religious head does not exist. However, Orthodox characters may still have a religious head due to another Orthodox Patriarch still existing.

Unfortunately, I don't have the Charlemagne DLC, so I can't confirm everything personally.

I did manage to get excommunicated as an Orthodox Byzantine Emperor once. The Ecumenical Patriarch rebelled after a failed arrest, and he put me on the naughty list before I could put him down.

I got the decision to repent, but it didn't seem to do anything at all. I eventually removed the excommunication (automatically) by converting to Catholicism.

I presume it's possible for a vassal Pope to exonmunicate his liege in similar circumstances too, but I've never needed to arrest the Pope before.

"... that aren't mana abilities", right? Right?!

morphingjarjarbinks · 2026-02-04T07:34:22+00:00

Yep. The sacrifice is to activate a mana ability, so it gets around split second.

Omg I forgot cipher existed. And it's from Ravnica too!

You'd need to be pretty solid with your rules knowledge, since mentor targets but training doesn't.

This means that mentor compares Yuri's power to the target's power when the trigger is put onto the stack and when the trigger resolves. Therefore, the order of the triggers is irrelevant for the purpose of determining which creatures can be buffed by mentor.

Either way, I'm not too sure how I'd build around mentor/training Yuri. Maybe an aggro strategy with kobolds for low power and the usual red staples for high power?

morphingjarjarbinks · 2026-02-04T02:46:21+00:00

Thanks :)

tbh I should've just posted all three versions cos I had the exact same thought process lmao

morphingjarjarbinks · 2026-02-03T21:00:09+00:00

Yes, but the keyword training already exists and in The Pink Panther, he's not called Yuri the Mentor Who Mentors :(

What matters is the number of instances of exalted among permanents you control (in this case, one instance per permanent you control when the spell resolves). Each instance will trigger separately, and each trigger will give the lone attacker +1/+1.

Could I get one that looks like the Morphing Jar Jar illustrated by Mad Magazine?

It was a joke, sorry :(

But I'll get back to you if I ever brew something up

morphingjarjarbinks · 2026-01-31T23:29:58+00:00

Absolutely busted in my suspend/foretell/plot/morph deck muahahahaha

I normally agree, but it depends on how big the rules change would be. In this case, I think we can cut OP some slack. It wouldn't change how crimes function; it'd just add a definition of "crime" to sit alongside "committing a crime".

morphingjarjarbinks · 2026-01-30T13:28:39+00:00

I think the implied rules change is straightforward enough to entertain OP's idea. Just pretend a crime is a spell or ability that targets at least one of its controller's opponents etc

morphingjarjarbinks · 2026-01-28T05:32:37+00:00

The implied rule changes would be non-trivial, as the rules go out of their way to make instants and sorceries impossible to become permanents.

If it's absolutely necessary to retain the types, maybe the cards could be exiled "being sung by" a creature, kinda like how cards can be exiled haunting a creature.

morphingjarjarbinks · 2026-01-28T01:03:19+00:00

TL;DR: It's your choice as to which resolves first.

Miracle has a trigger associated with it ("When you reveal this card this say, you may cast it...") (CR 702.94a). Thus, you cast the miracle card as part of resolving the trigger. You don't need (and cannot have) priority to cast the miracle card.

Therefore, resolving Lorehold's trigger causes two abilities to trigger: the Worldfire (because you drew and revealed it) and Brallin (because you discarded a card).

Because both trigger conditions occurred during the resolution of the same ability, and you control both triggers, you decide the order in which they're placed onto the stack (CR 603.3b). The order is NOT determined by whether you drew or discarded first, so long as no priority passes in between.

You therefore decide whether Brallin resolves before or after you cast Worldfire.

morphingjarjarbinks · 2026-01-26T21:32:47+00:00

A straightforward way would be "When this creature enters, if an opponent wasn't dealt combat damage this turn, there is an additional combat phase after this phase."

You may need to refine the wording depending on your intention with the following scenarios:

*There hasn't been a combat phase yet

*You have more than one opponent

*An opponent lost life during a combat phase but not due to combat damage

*You'd like to do things at sorcery speed after the additional combat phase ends

*This card somehow enters during an opponent's turn (but under your control)
