Magic's next block, Mirrodin, will apparently have a very strong biotech element to it, kind of harkening back to the phyrexians (in look and feel, though not in story). Whether or not the strong sci-fi elements are appropriate for Magic, I find them to be most pleasing.

Curious. Looks like fun. :D
After the Phyrexians and the artifact wars of Dominaria's ancient history, I'm not really surprised to see them pulling something like this. It isn't like Ashnod's Transmorgant hasn't been around for forever.
-
yes it does look like fun

we only have it in Australia now

*Plays the ultimate Magic card, Summon Entropy.*
-
too late, he's already in bed.
-
The card is allowed 48 hours to summon him so I've still got time.

Entropy
Cost: BB3
Summon Master of N00bie Slapdown
5/2
When Entropy comes into play, tap all n00b cards. Those cards do not untap in their controller's untap phase.
1, tap: Destroy target n00b card.

I am not in bed I am at school and it is 1pm right now and it the 2 June not the 1 June
-
And you are not in bed now
-
Y'know, here's a couple of points.
1) if you forget to say something, you can click "modify post" instead of posting again. That annoys people less.
2) Entropy is indeed in bed. It was around the time he normally goes to bed, and he disappered off Instant Messanger. Since SaintEhlers talks to him on IM I think I'll believe that he is in fact in bed.
3) No-one said you were in bed.
4) I never realised I wasn't in bed. Thanks for letting me know, now I understand why I kept reaching for my blanket and not finding it. <Sarcasm>
5) The world is roughly spherical. Thanks to this and the workings of astrophysics, it is a different time and date at different parts of the world. So, although it may be nearly two pm. in the afternoon on 2 June where I am, my friends from the United States of America will find it is late at night or something, on the 1st of June. This does not mean that be visiting the USA you can change the past, just to let you know.
6) Please use correct grammer and punctuation, to reiterate.
7) Please stop upsetting me.

And he's one of the NICE ones....
-
Don't make me stamp on your neck. That would be an unfortunate thing, since it would result in the buildup of organic material on the bottom of my shoes, and this is a thing I try to avoid.
It briefly occurs to me that you might find it unpleasant as well, but frankly my interest in your state of mind is somewhat less than my interest in the current state of the geo-political ramifications of welsh farmers shooting their sheep.
-
Just to make sure you understand. Entropy cares almost nothing about the geo-political ramifications of Welsh farmers shooting their sheep.
-
All though he (Entropy) does enjoy shooting sheep, heck he enjoys shooting anything that moves.

This is still the funniest thing I've read in a long time.
-
I think it should be "B, tap" to restrict it a little.
-
B as in blue or B as in black. It should definately be either red or black. Blue wouldn't make sense. Red is anger, black is death, makes sense.
-
Blue would be "U"
-
okay, well, I guess that makes sense, but I would just type out the whole thing, I mean, what is that, and extra half a second?
-
He typed it that way because that's the OFFICIAL way that you type out cards in text. Typing 3Black,2 can be confusing, so they use the letters to stand for the mana symbols.
-
You just got served. Know why? You didn't think. So next time as you think, use up that time to think about a new way to think.
-
Y'know, Gemm's right.
FuzzyOctopus
Cost: 2UU
Summon Octopus
2/2
FuzzyOctopus's Controller may give FuzzyOctupus +2/+2 until the end of turn. If this occurs, FuzzyOctupus's Controller must pay 2 and Tap during controller's next upkeep. FuzzyOctopus does not untap in the next untap phase.
Are you sure you wern't pulled over twice?
I think an extra tapping kinda represents the situation there. The card isn't anywhere near balanced though - if you want me to come up with balanced cards, get me to design Shadowfist ones.
-
Hang on, why exactly am I being made fun of for being right?
-
I'm not making fun. I'm giving you a card as thanks for thinking my other one was funny.
-
Technically, the way you phrased that card makes it so the card's controller has to tap, not the card itself. That makes FuzzyOctopus the first card to make dancing an official part of the game.
-
I noticed that, but I listen to J.T. talking about the exact ruling on every card, and technicalities and such so often that I let it slide.
-
Yeah, well I was sleep deprived and lacking caffeine when I wrote that.
Besides, I like metagame effects.
-
Hey, if there was a card that made a player tap I'd play it in a second.
-
Well, Unhinged is coming out in a few months.
Wait for it....
