Title: (sigh) New-fangle words...
Post by: MasteroftheCraft on April 25, 2012, 04:01:11 PM
Ok, I need to know what UNDYING means. Tell me, please!!!
Oh and what does "blink" mean? Just so you know, I like to play the old-school way, with the older cards, so I don't understand some of these words.

Undying - {Undying Evil}
Blink - {Flicker} (old school 😁)

Actually, I should clarify, {Flicker} is until the EOT, Blink is right away (á là {Cloudshift}).

Agreed! That article was awesome! It solidified some of my beliefs when it came to deckbuilding, and it gave me new insight.

I originally thought it was right away, then I read {Flickerwisp} and {Flickerform} and wrongly corrected myself.  I should know better than to think I could make a mistake.  It's when I think I am wrong that I end up being wrong.  ;)

{Flicker} handles exactly like {Cloudshift}, except one is a sorcery for any non-token permanent.

Now, I don't know what to call "until EOT" blinking, and "right away" blinking.  Thoughts?

Blinking for right away.... Hmmm... Shifting for EOT?  That last ones a tricky one! I will work on it until someone beats me to it.

I just wonder if there's already a term for it.

{Sudden Disappearance} is until EOT and so is {Venser the Sojourner}. Maybe something to go like that? Like Venser flick?

Edit: the SD is end step and so is Venser. I'm not sure of a card that says EOT for that...

"Beginning of the next end step" is the new "End of turn". EOT is just easier than BotNES. (actually, that's not half bad, it's like Bones with a silent 't').

Well we could call it BNES but if people pronounce it bee-ness it sounds provocative so I don't know...
