The fill-your-opponents-deck-with-filler card is crazy cool design space.

Bring on the kung-fu amputees - no arms vs. no legs anyone? A bit of high-speed underground ninja-tunneling is always good as well. I wanna see some shit like that. Crazy monks with gnarly special powers can make any film good. FACT.
Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
drk saying that one was good is what made me go back and comb through these a second time
im looking forward to playing with it
Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
I saw a pioneer deck with Ash Zealot in it and apparently that card is legal in pioneer. As apparently is all of RTR? I thought this format started with Khans of Tarkir but seemingly it does not.
I'm glad Ash Zealot is seeing play somewhere again though

Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
That's a pretty funny answer to Breach
Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
It occurs to me that this thing feels closer to accomplishing the intent behind the Sirlin card than the actual Sirlin card does

Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
The playtest card frame gimmick is really cute but it's kind of unfortunate for actual playability that some of these aren't very pleasing to look at

Very Khaos card text
I just wish there was some way to make it more obvious that "challenge you" doesn't have any extra rules meaning outside of the card''s text
Italics might do the trick if they were to lean in on stuff like this
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you
Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
i think it's obvious that challenge doesn't mean anything special. adding italics might actually contribute to more confusion, especially if they make another challenge card
Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
i might actually change the last line to "if they do" so people don't think that all your spectres trigger on a challenge, when only one deals combat damage

New Challenger
3R
Creature - Human Warrior (C)
Haste
When New Challenger enters the battlefield, an opponent may challenge it. If they do, it becomes unblockable until end of turn. Otherwise, it gains provoke until end of turn.
4/1

Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
When ~ etb, an opponent may challenge it. If they do, a video replay is conducted. Limit two casts per game, cannot be cast within the last two minutes of the game.

Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, any player may challenge it. If they do, its controller searches their dictionary for all words in the card's name. If they find all the words, the challenging player skips their next turn. Otherwise, they sacrifice it and the turn ends.

Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
I think it's not obvious at all right now. If it wasn't a mystery booster thing, and just a random spoiler, I would actually assume the opposite. And if they took this philosophy further and did this a bunch, then reading a card, I just wouldn't know if there are mechanical implications to the words on it or not. Don't get me wrong, I also LOVE it, I just think this is a problem that needs to be solved for this type of template to work. I'd also love to be wrong about that.
I agree that italics would contribute toward more confusion until you learn that italics on a word inside a card's text mean the word is just a flavorful binding agent.
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you
Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
I mean, I am already challenging an opponent, in this contested wizard duel, obviously

Re: Random Magic Discussion Thread
When ~ etb, your opponent's team captain may challenge it. If they do, a video replay is conducted. Activate this ability only if you have made less than two challenges this game, and only if you are not playing in India.

If you scry ~ to the top of your deck, it is customary to mark your deck with a quarter.

Can't find it on scryfall/gatherer, and they do seem to search reminder text (verified by searching for "zero")
