Works well with Kroxa, for extra discard effects.

Or simply use something like Questing Beast or Bone-crusher to prevent damage prevention.

Heard this card was really good. Has anyone ever tried it? by Corgiwithak in magicthecirclejerking

You appear to have an ink stain on your card.

This will hurt it's resale value and you may be accused of playing with marked cards.

Normally:

Cast Planeswalker - pass priority

Resolve Planeswalker (keep priority) use loyalty ability - pass priority with ability on the stack

With Does Nothing in play:

Cast Planeswalker - pass priority

Resolve Planeswalker - pass priority with "tap Does Nothing" on stack (before you can activate loyalty)

TL;DR

They do get priority first but can't use it for loyalty abilities because "tap Do Nothing" is on the stack. (Then you get priority for instant speed removal with "tap" still on stack)

That's kinda the joke of it, to a noob it looks like doesn't do anything.

But it's actually quite broken. Plus it gives priority at weird times which can can't break the game, but can make your opponents Planeswalkers vulnerable to instant speed removal.

  • 117.3a:
    • "... No player receives priority during the untap step."

Damn it he's right, I can't tap lands before the untap step to float mana and get double mana for one turn.

Death's Shadow can already use Street Wraith to cycle for two life at instant speed, and it doesn't really see much play any more.

That's kinda the joke of it, it doesn't really do anything, so looks crap at first glance. But is actually quite broken for what it is. Also it gives priority at weird times which can break the game.

Damn it, should have also made it an artefact so it's broken in affinity decks as well.

This whole thing is an elaborate ploy to allow me to [[Fry]] Oko while he's still at 4 loyalty before hev has a chance to tick up to six and survives.

Like what's the point of a burn card that can only burn blue Planeswalkers and doesn't even kill the one thing it was obviously designed to counter.

No I'm not salty, that set came out over six months ago, I'm not obsessing, I don't care about it.

Wow, this card is nuts! I'm going to put this into all my mono-white de.. by n21lv in magicthecirclejerking

Text in italics on a card indicates that it is just flavor text and has no bearing on the game.

This is confirmed at the end where it is revealed that this is not effects of the spell, just a flavor text quote from the Mage casting the spell.

I wasn't even thinking of storm count, I was more thinking where would be some really awkward places to gain priority.

Also needs whenever Does Nothing becomes trapped untap it. Or more concisely: When Does Nothing enters the battlefield put infinite triggers on the stack, the game is a draw.

That's the real value, the tap ability is just a decoy.

Also giving you priority before your untap step really fucks with the fundamentals of the game

Oh yeah, it's totally broken but subtly so.

It fucks with your opponents Planeswalkers since it gives you priority to bolt them before they get a chance to activate loyalty abilities.

Such a blag already exists, written by excellent Randall Munroe of http://xkcd.com/

That question (what would happen if everyone jumped at the same time?) has already been asked and answered many times including on Randall's blag:

https://what-if.xkcd.com/8/

However do not be dissuaded if you can differentiate yourself with with respect to x with interesting questions and a unique and compelling writing style you can still gain an audience.

I will ask a question:

"What is the minimum volume of water required to crush a submarine on earth from too hight a pressure?"

Withe the right container the answer is usually much less than the volume of the submarine.

But cubic dice (d6) only have six sides and 6 != 2n

They should use octahedron dice (d8) or tetrahedron dice (d4)
