Magic the Gathering question

[Smurvis]

I don't play, or intend to play, but I have a question.

What's it called when a card is out of play one turn, and in play the next? And keeps alternative every turn? Phazing?

Yes.

Re: Magic the Gathering question

Whoa. That takes me back.

Re: Magic the Gathering question

Phazing though right? Not Phasing? Cause the spelling matters more than anything.


And I see you can reply to my posts, but not my PMs! Damn you, Loki!

Phasing. If there was a Funk card, it would have phasing.

P.S. It's cute how Smurvis made sure we knew he didn't play so we wouldn't think he was a loser.

Takes me back to the head aches I had... and that was just from someone explaining the rules.

Re: Magic the Gathering question

At the beginning of your untap phase, all phasing creatures you control that are in play phase out; simultaneously, all creatures you control that are "out of phase" phase in. A phasing creature normally phases out the turn after it's played, phases in the turn after that, phases out the next turn, and so on. However, effects that phase the permanent out throw it out of sequence.

Perfect. I know "phaze" is incorrect as far as real words, but I didn't know if Magic chose to use a z instead for whatever reason. Thanks guys.

Ah, I remember this game--my friends and I used to play it up until the Mirage expansion set. Afterwards, we stopped for some reason. They must have had dozens of expansions and new rules implemented since then.

I didn't think it warented a reply. I try not to tell people what the jokes in Super Squad are. If they get a reference, good, if they find a deeper meaning, great! I'm not going to say what I intended though and have them only mean one thing.

Those cards are way too overpowered!

That's not what you said last night.
