Killing Wave

Effects in Gameplay

New 14 Jun 2013 Asked by nihilcredo-blog-blog 5 Comments

"Beneficial effects that may surprise you by becoming a problem (eg. Flametongue Kavu on an empty battlefield) are just as important for Magic as harmful effects that may surprise you by becoming useful (eg Killing Wave + Blood Artist)". Agree or disagree?


Disagree. I think there is room for the former but more room for the latter. Why? Because the latter make players feel smart and the former make players feel dumb (aka they more often enjoy the first and not enjoy the second). Note that this is a matter of degrees. The game should have both but I don’t feel in equal numbers.
