: Return Oblivion Ring Variant to its owners hand.
Reminder: To make these show up as devoid, select "Colourless" from the "Colour" dropdown.
The problem is that when you edit them they default back to Automatic on the drop down menu so you have to readjust them after every edit. Thanks for remanding me.
Ooh! That's a bug. It should be keeping the "Colourless" selection on editing. Thanks, I hadn't realised - I'll get that fixed.
Edit: Should be better now. If you edit something that's devoid and it doesn't stay devoid, let me know.
I wish they had printed this rather than Isolation Zone.
O-Rings in the BFZ block are hedron-powered weapons against the Eldrazi, though. Stasis Snare, Quarantine Field, Aligned Hedron Network, Isolation Zone all have the same flavour.
I know. I was mostly referring to the power level of Isolation Zone being low.
Oh, I see. Mm, yes, sadly common O-Rings have suffered the same depowering that other common removal has. It makes sense for Limited, but means that when we want Banishing Lights for our casual decks, we need to get them at uncommon.
Banishing Light? Abusable triggers or bust.
And you call yourself a designer! :P
The abusable "Forever exiled" thing is an outright bug in the rules. It's a shame they only patched over it by releasing a different card :(
Yeah, I would have considered the loophole in the "exile/return" wording more of a misprint than actual functionality and errata'd it. But I suppose, they have a bit commitment to not doing functional errata, and I think that is an idea, but the price of that is sometimes printing new copies of cards. And I guess, it's not just a rules change -- it's clear what the old wording means, but if you have a copy of the card with that ruling, you couldn't tell by looking at it if they fixed the functionality, even if you can see that's how it OUGHT to work.
Oh yeah, it's an unfortunate rules bug. As a designer, I'm against that. As a player, on the other hand, I run them to great effect in my Roon deck. I also appreciate that in multiplayer, you can't just kill me to get your thing back.
Shifted the trigger to "may" and "until name leaves the battlefield" and lowered the bounce cost. The goal is to create a Cage of Hands variant that plays well with Processor's, not a one card combo.
Also the white devoid colours look different from the other four colours as they lack the faded textbook the other colours have.
