For Challenge # 040. Based on Summoning Station, Blasting Station, Grinding Station, and Salvaging Station. You can't go infinite with this plane, unfortunately, but it still has numerous internal synergies.
While the background art wrapping around is bit annoying on Icatia, it's really very funny here. Also, I approve of anything that references the stations... infinite or no.
I just realized: for its chaos ability, do you have to target the artifact and/or creature card(s) when the ability goes on the stack, thus making the milling not useful, and potentially not even happen at all if there aren't any legal targets?
If so, would changing the wording so that it didn't target fix the problem?
This is basically Goblin Sharpshooter World but leaving behind a giant pile of 2/2 tokens. Which is kinda fun. And it is an excellent reference to the Stations.
Your point about the
ability is sadly correct, and it should probably not target for this reason.
ability no longer targets
