It's no different than legendary instants and sorceries
So Snow instants and sorceries aren't things in black border Magic. Could they be? Alternatively, thawing could come from just any non-snow source.
See Blanket of White Death.
Considered requiring the target creature be tapped, but you all wouldn't be a fan of that nerf, correct?
Naming is the hard part. I want this to be an elemental, but a red elemental creature seems challenging for a winter world.
The flavor is an icicle falling an injuring someone, but the icicle is a creature I guess?
See Iceblood Herald.
Used Vitenka's wording
Hmm, quirky. Seems like it would raise some questions regarding the specifics of summoning sickness among players, but I kinda like it still.
> Whenever a player casts a nonsnow spell, exile ~ UEOT.
Only if the mountains only start half-way up.
Which... I guess in mtg terms they might do?
The flavor of this is really upside-down. Shouldn't a higher volume of mountain mean less trees?
I suggest looking at 'balance' for working wording for the effect. Maybe something like:
Each player exiles forests until the control fewer than the total number of mountains in play.
Players cannot play a forest unless they control fewer forests than there are mountains in play.
It's not quite identical; but it's close and hits the effect.
Personally I liked the fluffy rules from unlimited era. But they did cause arguments sometimes.
The sentence "there can't be..." doesn't have any rules meaning and should just be removed from the card
Holy heck, was there no easy way to explain what this card does!
I was playing another tabletop game the other week, and someone played a card that said effectively "enchanted player can only control 5 creatures." No explanation of what that meant, nothing in the rule book or FAQ. Very useless. This is why Magic's rules being so precise is such a good thing
Sadly, probably needs to specify what happens if there are.
I mean; I'm all for this being a niche card that does "Something is checking whether there are more forests than mountains? There are 16 forests, and 2 mountains. There are NOT more forests than mountains." - but I don't think you'd find many other takers.
I was just on a train of snow card ideas.
What does this card have to do with Burning Kiss?
See Burning Kiss.
added "as if it it had flash" in the reminder
See Frozen Waste.
See Iceblood Herald.
