  It is similar to detain, a point that I do find frustrating. Blinking your opponent's permanents out at sorcery speed and getting the tempo jump on them does seem red to me, though. Since 'return at beginning of next upkeep' hasn't been seen before, I'm throwing it out there that maybe red has a shot at doing it that way in a similar vein to the red bounce in Dead // Gone. Oh, hey, now that I think of it, it should only effect my opponent's stuff if I want to make that flavor link. Updating.

  We've seen Justicars walk around arresting people in Ravnica. In a vacuum both sides of this card seems fine to me. But when stuck right next to each other? Yeah, it reads wrong. The 'correct' way doesn't read cool to me, though (Blue/White gets another detain spell. Yawn.), so I'm just going to leave it alone as a failed first attempt. I do like the W/R hybrid ability, though. I might steal it for New Mirrodin II if I decide to go opposite color hybrids.

  Are the colours the wrong way around here? The "Nickel" ability looks blinky which isn't very red, and it feels similar to detain which is . And the Ravnica police are the Boros, not the Azorius.

  So you can overload it in an Izzet deck with no green?

  Hadn't considered these mechanic combinations. It does seem like space they could move into, definitely.

  Yes; if you knew it was Vigenere (or at least were trying) then attempting the plaintext attack using Jack's comment above (Mark Rosewater says) would have gotten you most of the way.
  You could also have run it through a Vigenere attacker; I toyed with a Python script which tried to crack it and it could guess a few characters. Importantly, there were 6 or so letters which were encoded the same, which allowed for guessing of the key length (16, among others). http://smurfoncrack.com/pygenere/index.php would have gotten you to 'Mfll Rcsrwrtng said "Ilbgcn'f Mrzn', and it's iterative from there.

  deciphered

  It was a Vigenere cipher using ChallengeSeventy as the key.

  What was it encoded with, BTW?

• 2013-03-05 07:00:28: jmgariepy commented on Nickel // Dime

  Oop. Just realized the challenge said "Rare or Mythic Rare". Okay... I suppose I owe another card later.

  Added Nickel // Dime.

  For Challenge # 070. Split cards were in the third set, and Ravnica has hybrid. Why not hybrid split cards? It doesn't seem like it advances the needs of the block, but it's a natural fit for the set at least.

  In case you're wondering, A nickel is slang for a five year jail sentence (Though, in theory, it could just be a five day sentence on Ravnica). To drop a dime means to call the police... it refers to a time when most people used pay phones to make phone calls. Nickel and Dime means to take someone apart, bit by bit (it most commonly refers to taking someone's money, but spare change isn't needed for the expression to work.)

  There's a bit of stretching going on here... but that kind of happens with Split cards flavor. They're hard to match. Hybrid is probably trickier...

  Not so; you can pay Overload costs for cards cast by things like Diluvian Primordial.

  EDIT: I'm wrong. The rulings even say so.

• 2013-03-04 17:12:02: Vitenka commented on Spark Reactor

  I can't help but deliberately interpret this as the wrong reference, and suggest it be given morph.

  It's crazy powerful; but CMC6 so maybe that's ok? Wording.. maybe "In your hand" as that's the only place it matters?
