Hehe, I notice you can't see it, but I actually quoted the [V]indicate :D It's so simple, but it works on every angle, even the card name and flavor text!

Hahahaha, this is the best one yet! In fact, I don't think any meme cleave card can beat this :') I wonder how the numbers look if you exclude sets with DFC's. We have been getting a lot of those recently, and they are probably the wordiest cards out there. I might be wrong, but I'm assuming...

I don't think they were talking about cleave in particular, just that kicker in general isn't used enough, and that the resulting number of different keywords is wrecking the game. This isn't an opinion I share, by the way.

This is a fallacy, I think. Less text does not necessarily mean cleaner, particularly in this case. You yourself admit the card might be subjectively harder to parse for some people. See also Dead Ringers, which didn't use a lot of text, but still confused people all the time. The mechanic to...

If you have three creatures when you cast this, you can pay 8 mana over 3 turns to draw three cards. That doesn't seem all that exciting at all, to be honest :confused: You've got some hoops to jump through, and then it's still slow and expensive. Mazemind Tome is also slow (if you want to...

Obviously, we are Magic players after all :p

Honestly? This mechanic should have been saved for Kamigawa Neon, and be called 'reprogram' or something like that.

I had a conversation with Train about Mardu cards, and how they don't really pull you into those colors, but rather reward you for ending up in them. He joked about how Naya has better aggro support than the aggro wedge, at lower rarities, and that's when it hit me... Art link Amirite? PS...

Yeah, like I made clear before (:)), not everything should be kicker or split cards, but cleave definitely should have, in my mind. I don't think this mechanic will go downin history as a success, and I expect it to score really high on the storm scale eventually.

It is but I hate it. This would have been so much more elegant as an actual split card...

As I said in my original post that sparked this discussion, you did help :) I didn't have the time to look for suitable art yet, but I really like the elegance of your Beast Summoning suggestion.

I firmly belief you should be able to call out a person's actions without condemning the person themselves. I can not tell you how to feel, but I can tell you what my intent was, hence my elaboration. If I think a friend does something silly, I will tell them that to their face, but it's...

The horse actually belonged to a cathar on a recon mission, and the saddlebags were full of field reports! Sadly, they were sprayed with some scorpion poison, so you got hurt as you rifled through them.

Yes, I would. And you would see in my eyes that there is no ill intent behind these words. You know I cannot possibly know whether the pattern was intended by WotC with certainty, so why do you ask me if I do? That's why I called your question (note: not you) silly. Moreover, can you explain to...

That's just because that's an easy way to represent a fraction. You can easily see this need not be the case, for example: (2 / 2 = 1) is equivalent to (2 * 0,5 = 1) There, no division symbol used ;)

This is a silly question. I wasn't involved in the design or development of Strixhaven, so of course I do not know "with certainty" that I understood that reason. However, I see a very clear pattern, and I see absolutely no urgent reason to deviate from that pattern.

"What's the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" :marofl:

Correct. Technically, substraction is negative addition, and division is fractional multiplication. However: There's a reason substraction and division (on the left) as a concept are a thing. They are far easier to parse than their alternatives (on the right). They're also functionally...

I appreciate the thorough response, and I agree, communicating is much easier when it's done in person! I feel your pain, but if we are going to compare this to programming, kicker is like a function 'math' that just does everything math-related. That would make using it so hard that it's better...
