Planeshaper: Nah I don't think I will do that.

Lily: It's **** lazy. You're basically changing the rules for numbered keywords in the ENTIRE GAME by saying "Any time a number keyword doesn't have a number, hmm just assume the standby is 1." It's lazy and it sets a precedent for basically every other number keyword in the game. I don't think you grasp the implications of what you are doing.

Edit: Actually I know you don't grasp the implications of what you are doing.

I don't ever remember talking about cards in a contest being illegal

I don't think the judge is so weak-willed that they will change their mind because of my opinion

The way LilyStorm uses devour, I don't mind if it doesn't match the comp rules exactly. To sacrifice creatures you don't control, it does need to be phrased like keyword "fights", and the number would have gotten in the way.

I don't mind if people comment on other people's cards; I grade them as people post them, more or less. That said, Ko, you have better have a good reason for that name. (such as it being a placeholder)

Well, it's more like if I didn't do so, I would procrastinate grading everything and yeah, not pretty.
Thanks though!

Round 2


Make a card with exactly 10 words of rules text.

Can I just resubmit my card from round 1?

If you're okay with receiving a 0 for originality...

But it was exactly 10 words long!

Also, just for a little more confirmation, how do symbols factor in to word count? Prodigal Pyromancer has 9 words (two from its name being used in text), 1 number, and 1 symbol. Doe all those count? In the past when I've seen this criteria used, everything requiring a space counted as 1 word. (So would be 1 word.)

I was just as surprised!

That sounds like a good rule of thumb, so yes, everything requiring a space counts as 1 word.

So you don't mind if submitted cards don't work?

I don't mind if a keyword is bent in a creative way, especially if it makes flavorful sense.

@dtolle: word count checks out fine.
