Multiverse randomly generated Anachrophobia by dude1818 from the cardset "The Oncoming Storm", and Goblin Mob by Camruth, from the cardset Snap. It's very awkward not using his, her or his or her when referring to cardsets. I assume that most of the designers on this site are male, since most Magic players are male, but I certainly wouldn't want to be reffering to individuals by the wrong gender, and saying "his or her" just seems worse. And I can't be going around asking everyone what their gender is just to solve some oddness left over in the English language. The internet can be strange like this...
Anyhow, I like what happened... the card feels like it can be dropped in a core set. Cool beans. I regret not being able to tag on the line "Enchanted creature cannot attack alone", but that would be one too many sentences in an already complicated common. (Especially for new players. I assume a number of them will assume that they can declare the enchanted creature an attacker after the creature that untapped it attacked...)
Whoops. Accidently added the card to Alpha instead of workbench. Oh well, it's just as well. The set will probably need a blue creature removal, anyhow.
I'm a boy. For the record. :)
You know, Link, it's funny, but I had figured that out. Something about referring to your boyfriend a number of times, but not calling him out by name. Girls have a tendency to do the opposite. They say "Jake" likes so-and-so, and don't bother to tell you that Jake is their boyfriend... you're just supposed to figure it out over time through context. I don't think many other people would have picked up on that, though... I'm straight, but I was dance major in college, which put me in contact with enough people in the community to notice what is not being said.
You know, I never would have figured it out like that. That's an interesting way to think about it. Mostly I didn't use his name because I don't use MY name.
