My First Tome

Flavour Text Loop

If I choose to read the flavour text of Infinity Elemental with My First Tome, does the game enter an infinite loop as I am cursed to never stop reading the flavour text.

You can read one iteration.

Unstable Flavor Texts

MaRo, were the flavor texts of Unstable cards (and the Killbots in particular) chosen with malice aforethought for My First Tome?

We were well aware. : )

Un-cards and Ability Words

Are there silver bordered cards that specifically care about ability words like landfall or delirium? We have, for example, My first tome that looks at flavor text, Duh that looks at reminder text, and many others that look at the full text box, but I can't remember any about ability words. If there aren't, can we get some in Un-4?

Some Un-cards look at all text which includes ability words and reminder text.

Naming a Nameless Card

Gonna throw down an Unhinged rules question. If I have __________ in my hand, if I haven't used it's ability to give it a name, can I use it with My First Tome to always draw a card? Can you guess the name of a card that has no name?

You can guess no name.

My First Tome Inspiration

Was My First Tome inspired by Liar's Pendulum?

No, it was a riff off of Squirrel Farm from Unglued.

Un-card Rules

Un Question: My First Tome requires me to read the flavor text of a card in my hand. May I say the flavor text of a card without flavor text? May I say the flavor text of a different printing?

No and no. You can only read the flavor text of a card that has one and in silver-bordered world cards function as the individual printing you currently have.

Gameplay Rules Queries

Two questions 1. When I use My First Tome's ability, can I "read" a card that has no flavor text and just stay silent, so they just have to guess? 2) if you are playing a tournement and you use Mindslaver, can you force the player to do nothing but not pass to thier combat step and lose because they get DQ for stalling? (not that you should ever do that)

1. No. 2. No.

Flavor Text Rules

Hi, Maro. I have a silver-bordered question for you. If I activate a "My First Tome" and want to read the flavor text of a double faced card, so I have to read the text on both sides, or just the front face? Thanks!

You just have to read it from one side.
