Recent updates to My Universe, My Rules: (Generated at 2026-01-29 13:13:46)
Letting you assemble any contraption implies you can search your contraption deck for whatever contraption you want. Which seems busted and unfun (since it removes the variance and lets you toolbox while gaining card advantage and removes the randomness that is the mechanics greatest strength).
xD
Sure. (Was 'a' contraption)
Missing "any"?
See Prodigal Artificer.
"Any target assembles a contraption" would be a meta-joke on a whole another level. Maybe add a card with that text as well here?
And yeah, creatures doing that assembling doesn't matter at all. It isn't a special action only creatures can perform and many cards like Cogmentor and Spell Suck were made to pronounce that fact.
That whole set was really a concession IMO; it felt like it was full of mechanics that had been given up on, a graveyard of abandoned design ideas if you will (even frenzy). I personally found it a bit disheartening in that way. I mean, there are multiple unset stuff that has made it to black border before so perhaps I'm being too somber here.
Target assembles a contraption :)
Which brings up a side rant - Maro went on and on about how proud he was about finding a way to do assembly where it mattered that creatures did it rather than the players. And then; uh, it didn't? At all?
I know, but this update is just so gloriously messy
> "~ deals 2 damage to any noncreature target. (Noncreature targets are planeswalkers and players... at least when we're dealing damage only.)"
> "~ deals 3 damage to any nonplayer target, then destroy that target. (Nonplayer targets are creatures and planeswalkers.)"
> "Destroy any target?"
> "Any target draws two cards??"
Yeah, let's just make all effects with targets say "any target" and have them be context dependent. Brilliant!
FWIW, this is the way I WANT it to work, but I think what wizards actually did is that "any target" means creature/player/planeswalker and nothing else.
Oh the humanity - what have you done WotC? What have you done?!
I would add "... (dealt to artifacts) this way" in there.
"1 damage from a creature with deathtouch is enough to reduce a player's life total to 0" :)
Yeah, it'd be worded differently if done for real; but this is three words and clear :)
It's kind of weird that Vraska the Unseen's ultimate's tokens don't have deathtouch.
This could be
> Whenever a creature with deathtouch deals damage to a player, that player loses the game.
or it could have a reminder text with
> (Players and creatures dealt damage by creatures with deathtouch are deathtouched.)
but it's quite understandable as it is.
you'd think I'd have thought of this before, really.
Preserving from toothychat. (Context was the killbots making drafting software difficult; and the idea of using a generic proxy for them)
Yeah; not going to make the companion rare with the obvious follow-on joke. Have some class.
Like... why not? That sounds like a perfectly sensible thing.
Don't shock my morphs in response!
Normally there'll only be one player you can sacrifice though...
Usually phyrric victories are defined as "victories at too great a cost". Personally, I don't think that sacrificing an expendable "friend" is too great a cost at all. In fact, I'll happily do it. Less competition.
Make sure you cast Better than One first..
Um, drat - yes, I guess it should say "as though it were on the battlefield".
Re: Unmorph. Aww, that's dumb. And stupid. The rules are clearly just wrong in that regard.
You can't unmorph it though; that's a special action, not an activated ability
If you cast it wouldn't it be a spell on the stack? Is what you want "cast and resolved"? That's relevant because different card types would assume different zones after resolving e. g. Geistblast.
There are precious few cards that have abilities that can be activated from the stack.
Oooh, yes; that cycle is plenty potent.
Return as a cost - we're pretending you have cast it, so sure. You can return it there. Why not?
When I heard that interpretation of the ability, the first thing that popped to mind was Gigantomancer. Certainly not the most powerful thing, but indicative of what kind of nonsense you could pull off with it.
I was thinking I would approach the ability with this kind of wording:
> You may activate abilities of permanent cards in your hand. (Reveal the card as you activate its ability. You can't tap or sacrifice permanent cards in your hand to pay costs.)
Still, there's a lot what abilities can do so I don't know how that would function. Just something like "
: ~ fights target creature." sounds problematic.
What if the ability's cost is "Return ~ to its owner's hand: ..." What happens then?
Based on Vairë the Weaver. So - what's the broken combo?
The most ridiculous that immediately leaps to mind would be morph. Yes, I unmorph a card that isn't in play. Uh...
Related to Grand Librarian Lucia
As well as my ongoing attempts to cause mtgo to enter an infinite processing loop, gain sentience, and crash.
Now I'm wondering if this ought to be untapped creatures attack in the first combat phase; tapped ones in the second. But meh, that's just fiddly for the sake of fiddly.
