See Challenge # 159.

This one might be -un :)

And if you choose Mistform Ultimus, the legend rule comes to bite you very shortly afterwards. Unless you have Vicious Shadows or similar, of course.

­Cairn Wanderer is probably the closest to a non legendary mole with haste :-)

I think the un variant should have "Exactly" in there. Because I'd love to see that token stack.

As in "exactly six hundred thousand billion billion tokens"? Or something else?

AIUI it's already mandatory as it doesn't say "up to". But I usually play that you can use one bit of paper with a number written on or something if you have too many tokens to be represented easily.

I'm not sure what the comprehensive rules say. "A token is a marker used to represent any permanent that isn’t represented by a card" Does that mean you need a physical object? Can you waive that if it's represented clearly, or can your opponent stall the game until you find that many separate objects?

I'm aiming, silver-border-land; for the latter. Get exactly the right number of bits of paper.

That's bad design. And I say that relative to the original proposal.

The pun is worth it, so why make the card logistically unplayable (also "exactly" violates the flavor).

I don't think Vitenka realizes how large this number actually is.

Even a thousand tokens would be impractical. You could definitely have a different card based around having lots of different tokens though.

I do indeed know it's completely impractical. I don't see how that's an issue. Though I do wonder if you can take a 1m solution of something and claim each molecule is a token?

...tapping them might be tricky.

Oh, is that what the joke is? I feel writing it out has ruined the joke. I know what 1023 is; no idea how big that string of words is. Also, six vs 6.02 is like using 3 in a joke about pi.
