NEEDS MORE TITTIES

Do Moderators of the defunct Article Submission Forum count?

I don't get it.

This actually happened:

Brandon Jones was playing against Ichorid, and his opponent casts Cabal Therapy and names...BLACK LOTUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Brandon had Lotus Petal in his hand!!!

If that had been a Black Lotus, he probably would've lost right there, but since it was Lotus Petal he had just enough mana to lay down his threats and lock pieces and "smashed his opponent's skull in."

Black Lotus is so vulnerable. People will counter it. People will name it with their Cabal Therapies and Meddling Mages. People will take it from your hand with Duress and Thoughtseize. People will use their graveyard hate against it so that you can't Weld it back in. And it costs $700+ dollars (which will make people more likely to steal it from you)! Lotus Petal suffers from none of these problems. Stax already runs four Loti that they get to use every turn (Workshops). Why run a "fifth" that dies to so many things? Mishra's Workshop also has none of the problems listed above.

Lotus Petal FTW, GFY

For reference.

Not really sure what you're asking here. I mean, sure, if you use Imprint here, it makes it easy to see how similar it is to Duplicant. But, whether you use Imprint or not, it would be functionally identical; omitting it just hides the similarities.

Imprint is a mechanic used to reference cards that are removed from the game and set some sort of characteristic of a card. It tells Chrome Mox what color it can tap for, Duplicant what it's p/t is, and what card you can copy with Isochron Scepter and Panoptic Mirror. The same thing is happening here: a card is removing something from the game, and then referencing that card to determine what card can no longer be played.

[Name]
2
When [Name] comes into play, remove another target nonland permanent [creature?] from the game.
Spells that share the name with the removed card can't be played.
1/4

Is functionally identical to:

[Name]
2 {w}{w}{w}
Imprint - When [Name] comes into play, you may remove another target non-land permanent from the game. (The removed card is imprinted on [Name].)
Spells that share a name with the imprinted card cannot be played.
1/4

Not using Imprint on it, when it is a keyworded mechanic, is akin to making Mahamoti Djinn's wording like this:

Mahamoti Djinn
4UU
Reach
Mahamoti Djinn cannot be blocked by creatures without flying.
5/6

This reminds me a lot of Honden of Infinite Rage.

These should probably be using Imprint.

This is basically just a really complicated Eradicate.

Did Travis move to Germany and change his name to Oliver?

Interesting Stax.

Is "YA RLY" the second set in the "O RLY" "YA RLY" "NO WAI" block?

It makes a difference design-wise.

It's based on filling the grumper as quickly as possible.

Frozen Solid in TwiddleDrix vs. Tog back in 2004.

Quit being such a negative Nancy.

Grats Brass.

That is all. No talking. No arguments. Just vote. I don't want to influence anyone. Just go with your gut instinct.

I need a date too. Anyonme know any single ladies? (NO FAT CHICKS!)

Change B to R for starters. Mana spells are red now. Not black anymore, at all. Deal.

Gratz.

Did someone say titties?

OMg Big Brother pwned at the pre-release today. <3 him.

Did your opponent resolve Duresses while you had a True Believer out? Or were you taking Duresses with Duresses while you had a TB out?


Oh man, the Feinstein head's massive size makes it quite a formidable weapon.


Who's calling who Smmenen Jr.? 


Am I missing something? If he's a three, and you have four power out, you kill him w/o Time Walk. If he's a five and you have four power out, Time Walk's the obvious choice.


Wait, didn't he play Day 1? How inactive is that?
