Contagion

Half Counter Mechanics

Is the un-rule that turns two half counters into a single one a state-based action (like the one that makes +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters kill each other)? If so, FYI, Contagion Engine wouldn't work to turn half a counter into two, as there wouldn't be any SBAs applied between one proliferation and the next one.

It’s not a state based rule. You just count poison like you count life. Fractions just fall together. You get ½ a poison and then get another half a poison. How much poison do you have? 1 poison.

Karn's Gender Clarification

So now that you've decided Karn doesn't have a gender are you gonna remove the flavor text from Praetor's Counsel?

We didn’t “now decide” anything. I was clarifying something that had always been true since the character was created. By me and my friend Michael.As for Praetor’s Counsel’s flavor text:“As the Phyrexian contagion corroded Karn’s body, the praetors whispered psalms to corrupt his mind.” I have no idea why you think anything about it has to change.

Errata Possibility

Maelstrom Wanderer says "Cascade, cascade." Couldn't Contagion Engine be errated to "Proliferate, proliferate?"

Probably, probably. : )
