Title: P/T IRL
Post by: Pi on March 08, 2014, 08:09:08 PM
Power and toughness don't seem to work logically, given the physical condition of creatures. {little girl} is .5/.5 and generic soldier token is only a 1/1. With this logic it only takes three little girls to overpower a trained soldier. {grizzly bears} are 2/2, meaning that four little girls can kill a grizzly bear in a fight to the death. And then you get things like {emmara tandris}, who doesn't look much more powerful than a soldier but gets to be a 5/7.

And then there's this massive sky octopus ({emrakual aeons torn})that could be taken down by 16 men or 32 little girls

That is my point, the flying spagetti monster should require an army to kill, instead of a handful of soldiers or a small mob of little girls

Except p/t is not the only factor ! Emrakul has annihilator, takes an extra turn, and cannot be countered, and flying! Which means even 1000 little girls can do nothing to stop him!!!

One time I refused to buy GS cookies and was mugged by little girls. Two broken ribs and a bruised left ventricle. They can do damage.

By the way, Emrakul has protection from colored spells, not creatures. He can be attacked by anything but you just can't target him with a colored spell.

Unless someone knows different.

I worked in a preschool setting for sometime. And it only takes two - three. One hits the leg. The second leaps down from above, bringing you down. And then a third kicks you in the balls.
