Shields of Velis Vel

Hazezon Tamar Rule Quirks

New 04 Oct 2023 Asked by stainlesssteven 46 Comments

The two word creature type discussion of time lord makes me think of hazezon tamar. The card makes "sand warriors" and exiles all "sand warriors" when it leaves. It does this by exiling all creatures with the type "sand" and "warrior" leading to some unintuitive rulings, like it will exile all creatures with all creature types (or exile a players board with Shields of Velis Vel). In my mind the card is clearly meant to exile the tokens it made. I get that magic has a bunch of weird rules interactions but this seems like something that can be "fixed" easily. I'm not saying it should be changed but what is your opinion? Do you like it the way it is now or would you go back and make it so it exiles only the tokens he makes?


The two word technology was created to solve a specific issue in Doctor Who. We’re not using it to redo cards from the past. It gets confusing quickly if used too often.
