>What is Reflections?
Reflections: What could have been, is a fan set using design philosophy from the early years of Magic. The theoretical thought is 'what would happen if an emergency set was made in the 95 drought?'

>Why are you doing this?
Because Magic is a walking corpse without a soul, and its more like crawling now

>What's the setting?
After 500 years of relative peace, a new enemy comes to the world.

>How can I help?
Any discrepancies or error's being pointed out will be great. Also art feed back, and even flavor text.

Relentless Assault was the first mutliple combat cards. Including this in a set that is supposed to take place two years earlier is VERY anachronistic, but alas, I wanted to include one, but one that is clearly strictly worse.

The card downside does not work. It's an attack trigger. He attacks and then he forces creatures to attack. Attackers have already been declared. It's just a red guy with a permanent lure. Which is not red.

>>
>>97495869
You're using modern wording for your cards such as having Walls have defender instead of not attacking being an intrinsic property. So presumably this is not running on the original rules. Decide what you're going to do, use the new actually functional rules or not. You can't both have your cake and eat it.

That is currently on how it works, and its not the only card that does that.

Literally read the website you're using. It received an errata to make it functional. As it is currently written, it does not work.

IF. Not WHEN. When is a TRIGGER it creates when attacking. IF is a property of the card.

And they wouldn't really lose anything if they just cared about cards being put into graveyards. If Death Spark said "if a creature card was put into your graveyard..." It would not actually be any less interesting. It would not be a worse card. In fact it would be more interesting because there would be less chance you're arbitrarily cucked out of plays for something beyond your control.

It has enough random variance inerently by being a card game. It has no need to tacking on even more. There is already the random element of drawing or putting the right cards in the grave because they're randomly ordered, there is no need to implement additional randomness and start caring about the precise order each card was drawn or discarded.

In the original designs, colors could get off colored effects, but at increased rarities. The most cited of this, is Timber Wolves being a rare, while Benalish Hero was a common.

And they're collossal faggots for doing it. You're covering for your lack of skill with technicalities and hoping being annoying will make your opponents misplay or forget something so you can scream for a judge to save you. Deliberately trying to waste time or make the game worse in hopes that they'll play poorly is illegal in most card games and will get you booted from a table, for a good reason.

>How do I get 'booted from a table?' Is that EDH terminology?
In poker and most other card games, you can literally can expelled from a table or from a whole casino because you are unpleasant to play with.

You literally said it- it earned you wins in EDH. You are literally just hoping your opponent's inexperience will cause them to violate a technicality they didn't know about so you can go and whine about it to a judge.

Trying to win by deliberately engineering scenarios where the opponent will mistakenly break the rules is rule sharking, yes. It's no different from trying to say "resolves, skip to end step?" in a player's main phase in response to a spell and then screaming for the judge when they absentmindedly say yes. you are playing in bad faith and are a bad player who needs to cover his ass with technicalities. it's even more embarrassing because you're doing this to newbies. can't even imagine calling yourself old school and having to resort to this shit in edh lmao

Maybe your right, maybe it should cost 4. I'll do some play testing later.

Yes, yes I did. It was a control deck like Stasis, work on tempo, some solid removal, then boom, lock.

Bro, I think I asked this yesterday, are you an EDH player?
>>

>Yes, yes I did. It was a control deck like Stasis, work on tempo, some solid removal, then boom, lock.
Well I think you're just fucking lying, because that's not solid removal. Playing Terror against a black deck because you can maybe use a color changer is retarded. You are making your removals into active disadvantages for you because you have to spend an extra card for them to fucking work in the first place.
>>
>>97500080
There's a big difference between doing something that literally doesn't work anymore, and locking a mono-colored deck out of the game with two cards.

You're comparing apples to bananas.
>>
>>97500124
And those two cards will do basically nothing otherwise of this one specific ocurrence, and even when they work they only work against one specific kind of deck and it's not even all decks in this subsect. Against black and blue (the INTENDED TARGETS) it is, like I said, Sphere of Resistance but twice the cost, with an upkeep.

This card came as a thought experiment with a friend. How much could you tack onto an Ancestral Recall before people might hesitate to play it.

Sorcery Speed? Nah people will still play it. So I thought 'well add ante to it'.

His response was 'people ran Contract, and that added a card to the ante. A recall would be better'.

Anyway, proper ante is done with the top card of your library after all hands are finalized. It's random, its chaotic, it can be fun.

Do you give away a card you ante'd up to draw 3. If it's a basic, or even a common, sure, but if it's not, that's a more interesting question.

It rarely actually is any of these. People just play a normal game and play all the ante cards that are busted to win and try to fleece their opponent.

>>
>>97500231
>Yeah if your ante was a basic, sure. I would too.
The chances aren't bad and there's plenty of ways of controlling the ante. You're just going to run four of these and just give your opponent your cheap cards all the time. It's a minimal, irrelevant cost.
>>
>>97500249
How do you control the ante? Do tell. Besides, Jeweled Bird of course.
>>
>>97500265
This lets you choose a card in the ante. Any card that adds to the ante like Rebirth or Demonic Attorney will let you control the cards, and you can simply build a monocolor deck to have an around 1/3 chance of a basic land by default, or even more if you have a lot of cheap cards in your deck. This is just a negligible cost.

>>97500300
No, the ante was always the top card of the library, as par the revised rulebook.

what is not clicking? ancestral recall (and out of pie even) is an advantage so powerful giving up a basic land per game or two doesn't matter. in fact because you have ancestral recall you're probably going to make off with the rest of the ante meaning you don't even lose all that many cards.

You know, I double checked what you're saying, and you're right. However, Demonic Attorney literally says Ante the top card of the library. As does Rebirth. Yes, deck manipulation is common now, sure. I'm not designing these with cards printed after Ice Age in mind however.

I will add 'off the top of the library' to the card however. Thanks anon.
>>
>>97500449
It doesn't matter if it's from the top of the library, dumbass. expanding your ante means you have more choices on what cards to give to the opponent for the Recall, and thus more chances to give an irrelevant or cheap card like a basic land. playing demonic attorney has no actual downside here, even, because ancestral recall is a downside so egregious you're probably going to win and get the ante.

>>97500476
You don't really understand what incentives are, do you? If you reward players for engaging in degenerate shit to win you create a game full of degenerate shit. Because people like to win, you retard.

The result of your card is a game where the only decks are green or green/black decks (because not running ancestral recall is suicidal against a deck that has it) and players hand over a few basic lands to each other every now and then.

I mean in old school, every other color has a crusade. If you stretch it to 96, then Green has a crusade too.

It's just the nature of the beast of the time.

By this logic every old school deck should be running Recall, but not every old school deck does.

Any deck running blue is running Recall, even when it's restricted to 1. If it wasn't there would be no reason to play anything but blue.

Even if it isn't it permanently restricts design. Nobody can ever print any high cost world enchantments anymore because this will just cheat them out.

It's a good rule to have. MtG generally makes sure all information is verifiable; All tutors that specifically tutor for one specific kind of card need to reveal the card so you know that your opponent did, in fact, tutor for that kind of card. All handrips reveal the hand even if they just specify the opponent discards a creature card or so. And that's exactly why the fail to find rule exists, because the library isn't a public zone and there isn't a way to verify that, in fact, your library isn't a 50/50 split between Unburial Rites and Archon of Cruelty when you reveal only two cards with Gifts Ungiven.

Without that rule, you end up like Yugioh, where you can in fact just say "I don't have any of these cards in my hand :)" and claim you drew them later when a card tells you to discard.

If the other guy says "no I didn't have any of the named cards in my hand" and the card doesn't force him to prove it, he can just say he drew them later and all you can do is call a judge. This is exactly what happens in Yugioh since there is no way to verify without a third party.

It doesn't matter the punishment, you still need to call a judge. Instead of having the game become a three player 1v1 because you need a judge to make sure your cards work, it's best to just make them reveal the hand so they ALWAYS work and there is NO NEED to call a judge. Because calling a judge is a bother.

By the way I looked up the rules and you can make >>97515423 work. Just use The End's wording.
