For Challenge # 057 // Challenge # 057'. Originally, I figured I might spice things up by making a mashup instead of just a random card. First card that came at me was Zodiac Snake, which, you know... nothing exciting here... glad I was doing a mashup. Then I got Topsy Turvy.

Topsy Turvey? Oh hell, I just lucked out better than Vitenka did. Multiverse's Space the Convergence glossary doesn't have the parts of a turn yet, so I gave it what seemed relevant and logical. Since attacking was 'engaging' and sorceries were 'tactics', 'pre-engagement tactics' seems pretty appropriate. That, and over does double duty, being a synonym for 'end', but also being radio talk for 'your turn'.

I did take some liberties with 'player' and 'game' however, making them 'commander' and 'conflict'. There doesn't seem to be a real need to introduce those words, except for goofiness sake. That said, WotC has this weird balancing act with their own glossary. Your deck is your library. Your discard is your graveyard. You? Your a player... not a Planeswalker, or a wizard. This is a game... not a wizard's duel, or whatever. Kind of odd. It's like they go for the theme right up until the point where they feel people will sound like dorks when use correct terminology.

Oh, also, the name is a reference to Ender's Game, yes. Originally, I was going to use something that inferred that time was going backwards... but it doesn't does it? Time is going forward, everyone else it's everyone else in this conflict that's going backwards. Topsy-Turvy got it right. The reference point has changed. I tried names that dealt with Gravity Wells... but they sounded too grandiose and cataclysmic. I figured that maybe this reference to something that many who read scifi would know might work better.

ROFL. Yeah, I think the name is great :)

Awweesome.
