Wreak Havoc

Combat Damage Effects

New 14 Mar 2019 Asked by straxaerioeragous 49 Comments

Re: all damage is combat damage effect. This would wreak havoc in commander. Take borborygmos enraged for example. "Discard a land, borbor seals 3 damage to an opponent" currently is not a great win condition, but if you made it all count as combat damage it would make it so if you filled your hand with lands and discarded 7, you would win by commander damage. There are quite a few effects like that and it could really upset balances.


It’s the kind of effect that could potentially break a number of things.

Thanos and Green Philosophy

New 07 May 2018 Asked by forestd3w 72 Comments

SPOILERS Thanos' goal can be resumed to a status-quo no? He isn't green from being opposed to life. He is from wanting a status-quo and halting the growth of civilization. Take it that way, if a cancer(civilization) grows too big, and it wreak havoc on the body(ecosystem) you remove it right? But it's still living cells (people). Isn't it still green?


WARNING: ACTUAL “AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR” SPOILERS Green’s ultimate goal is Acceptance of the Natural Order. It’s realizing that the way things are is how they’re supposed to be. MCU Thanos’ actions couldn’t be more in conflict with that goal, so there is no way in the world that he is green.

Nahiri's Moral Complexity

New 23 Jun 2017 Asked by mewr11 53 Comments

I feel like you misunderstood the question mark referring to the trolley problem (whom I totally agree with, btw). Emrakul was going to wreak havoc over any plane she moved to. The vampires didn't 'have it coming,' Nahiri just positioned the havoc in the place most likely to prove a point. Antagonists who don't need completely contorted reasoning to justify themselves I, personally, find much more compelling than, say, Voldemort, whose evil just stems from being evil.


My point was Nahiri took actions that are hard to justify as heroic and not that hard to call villainous. Imbedding the Vampires in the wall was to send a message to Sorin, not because those Vampires had done any wrong to her.

Zendikar's Destruction

One thing I am confused about: Zendikar block. You make a plane that probably 95% or more of the Magic community loves. But then, you wreak havoc on the entire plan and practically nothing is left. How come?


Because that’s how story works. There has to be some conflict of some kind and since we tell stories at an environmental level, something has to happen to the environment.  Note that both Mirrodin and Ravnica had some radical change at the end of their respective blocks but we still managed to return to each.
