Bronze Tablet

Ownership Change in Gameplay

While most ante cards are "built around ante", Bronze Tablet and Tempest Efreet don't mention ante outside of the restriction text. They simply swap ownership of themselves with an opponent's card. Given the low power level of these two cards and the clause which allows the opponent to pay life to prevent the ownership change, they aren't really unreasonable for casual play.

They *are* unreasonable. Players strongly dislike change of ownership. These cards have the potential to change ownership. Having an expensive buyout doesn’t lessen the feel bad. For example, sometimes you have the choice of losing the game or permanently losing ownership of your card. That’s not a fun decision to make.

Un-Cards Rules

Un-rules question: if I use Spike's ability to play a Bronze Tablet, how long will I "permanently" own the card I swap it for? The rest of the game? The rest of the match? The rest of the event? The rest of my life? Thanks for everything you do and also Unstable marks the first time I've ever planned to buy a whole case of a set right at release. Can't wait!

There is a meta rule stopping ante cards that even Un-cards can’t break.
