Trying to find good wording for Cannonfodder.

Umph. Technically, missed the phrase "Creature token" on all of those still, didn't I?

by Alex:

Not to mention "Activate this ability only when ~ is on the stack", which Lightning Storm shows us is necessary.

by Vitenka:

I don't think it is needed (especially on a mythic) but. It's still six lines and nice and cleanly presented this way.

by dude1818:

The only place abilities can be activated is the battlefield, unless otherwise specified.

by jmgariepy:

Yeah... otherwise there would be some wise-guy who would argue you can activate this from your hand. For what it's worth, Visions thru Exodus agrees with you, Vitenka. See also: Sonic Burst.

by dude1818:

But then Wizards changed it. Look at Oracle text.

by jmgariepy:

Oh yes. Didn't mean to imply it was kosher.

by Alex:

I don't think the intent of old-wording instants with a colon was to allow that ability to be used multiple times, though. I'm pretty sure it was always meant to be an additional cost, it was just worded oddly. So that'd make this card only let you get up to 1 white token, 1 blue, etc.

by Vitenka:

Fine; make this an enchantment with "Sacrifice ~ at EOT" on the end; then?

2012-11-13 11:08:18: Vitenka edited Cannonfoddertest:

added 'creature token' too

2012-11-13 11:08:41: Vitenka edited Cannonfoddertest:

EOT didn't expand? I thought it did.

by Camruth:

UEoT expands but EoT doesn't

by SadisticMystic:

There are currently no cards that use the "end of turn" phrase without being immediately preceded by "until", so the additional expansion isn't useful.

by Alex:

Ah, heh, that's true. Vitenka probably isn't aware of the stealth errata to say "at the beginning of the end step" on things like Ball Lightning though.

by Vitenka:

...They do this on purpose to make cards less readable, don't they?

Stupid longass wording instated.
