    Armor of Thorns (and other Mirage block insta-enchantments): Their text was a bit streamlined, from
    You may play Armor of Thorns any time you could play an instant. If it was played any time a sorcery couldn’t have been played, it gains substance until end of turn and gains “When Armor of Thorns doesn’t have substance, sacrifice it.”

    Bottled Cloister:
    At the beginning of your upkeep, return all cards removed from the game with Bottled Cloister to your hand, then draw a card.

    At the beginning of your upkeep, return all cards you own removed from the game with Bottled Cloister to your hand, then draw a card.

    This is already how these cards are worded. And how they have been worded since they were beta tested on MtgO.

    Compare Prophetic Bolt. 2 extra gives you 1 damage, and lets you look through 4 cards, instead of just drawing one.

    I would feel comfortable with the spell in quesion being either a sorcery or instant.

    Quote from rancored_elf »

    Not that I care about pretend cards for pretend games, or pretend avatars (vanguards?) for those pretend cards and games, but I figured I should report it. Much thanks to both the anonymous sources!
    Ah. Sort of like this pretend community on these pretend boards.

    Honestly, even the notion of any sort of socialization or meaningful exchange of information taking place online. It's preposterous.

    Good thing we have our flimsy pieces of paper which we can actually hold in our hands and tear up if we are so inclined to make any sort of demonstration against the man when Wizards grows too large.

    Does this sound like it could be a posting for Alan's old position? (http://hasbro.recruitsoft.com/servlets/CareerSection?art_ip_action=FlowDispatcher&flowTypeNo=13&pageSeq=2&reqNo=23406&art_servlet_language=en&csNo=2)

    Been posted. And no, that was not Comer's title. Comer was random game developer. A code monkey.

    And I believe everyone is way off track with putting the old vangaurd cards online and making a Pre-Mirage Chronicles. As Comer said in his interview, he hasn't been doing much of anything with MtgO in quite a while.

    I thought Hasbro was already in the MMORPG making market with that Eberron one they're working on

    Infogrames (Atari) currently owns the digital rights to D&D, and they will for 10 more years at least. Hasbro wouldn't be able to produce such a game.

    I'm surprised noone has posted this.

    Wizards is currently looking for an Online Game Producer.

    This is clearly a new game and not related to Magic Online. And for reasons, I strongly doubt this is Hecatomb Online.

    Odds that this is what Comer was refering to 42:1.

  • posted a message on [9th] a "spider" can block as though it had flying
    Quote from Krello »
    The only problem is people thinking that it was a "may" ability (such as "you may draw a card") thus being an ability you could ignore which im sure was never the intention.

    The only time this matters is with lure affects, nothing else. And it is simply a clarification, the rule works exactly the same way.

    ...
    It was a "may" ability. That's how it had been ruled by several NetReps for years.

    It seems to me a couple have the wrong idea.
    You name a single word and keep the chain going.
    You do not name a word then start a new chain with a new word.
