Not too bad. Certainly worth running with Niv-Miz.

Of course the only card that costs less than fifteen mana is in german. Efficiency! :teach:

German uses a slightly different form of quotation marks. I never knew that.

Slightly? It is bonkers.

Also, perhaps as an offset to their efficiency in other areas, the average german noun has one hundred and thirty letters.

um, they put the words together because it just makes sense to do that :teach:

And you get great words like: Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft

This is a real word by the way. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donaudampf ... sellschaft

Also, question: why is this a curse.

Because it encourages people to attack the enchanted player.

Oh lolskis. I misread as when you are attacked, you can do this.

A little unfair to be using proper nouns in this case. But yes, a lot of stuff in German vocabulary is just two words put together that describe the object. Bookbag is just "School Bag" because that's the primary use of a bookbag. Its a rather practical language overall.

As for this card, its dull and boring. Usually when I see someone attacking with multiple creatures in commander, its because they are going to kill somebody (or everybody) doing so, or there is an Edric in play. Either way, I'd rather see this in an actual standard environment where it would be interesting than in EDH


obviously in the Grixis deck, by the way.

An interesting Aura, if not overly good.
