Random Generator gave me Desperate Ritual and Martyrdom, and once again my final slots artifact slots in Alpha aren't being filled. Workbench with you!

In a sense, this is a 'fixed' version of splice. Though, to be honest, I don't think there's anything really wrong with splice. You know... besides being vulnerable to discard, and encouraging players not to play their spells. Oh, and coming with a pile of rules baggage that flies over the heads of new players (no, the whole spell is cancelled, since you no longer have a target. No, I'm serious. All right, we can call a judge...) But splice was packed with flavor, so I'm cool with it. It's just not, you know, neccessary when you can do the same thing with a graveyard mechanic. You could even do self exile, then cast from exile, if you were sick of all the anti-graveyard cards out there.

Oh, yes, and Martydom. Take a good look at that card's oracle text. Crimmeny. I could mashup Martydom into Martyrdom and get, like, 10 cards in the process.

I like Reverb quite a lot. I have to say, though, that "Redirect" isn't in current usage.

I am old. Edited and thank you.

That also helped solve some formatting problems, since the card I was trying to remember, and couldn't, was Harm's Way.

I like this take on Candles' Glow as well.

I once proposed that Martyrdom's Oracle text be updated to say

> Until end of turn, target creature you control gains "0: The next 1 damage that would be dealt to target creature or player this turn is dealt to this creature instead. Any player may activate this ability." Only you may activate this ability.
