Hydroblast Color Potential

"Could Hydroblast fit as a white-blue card? On the assumption that white can destroy any permanent except lands but lands are almost never going to be red?""Maybe, but it sure wouldn't cost one. : )"What about an Un-Card that costs half a white (like Little Girl)and half a blue?

White doesn’t get “destroy target red permanent” cheap.

On Delivering Novel Sentence Answers

Maro, do you really enjoy the days where you get to say a seemingly novel sentence as an answer here? For instance, "Sawing in Half a Little Girl gives you two full sized women" is probably the funniest sentence I never expected to read in my life.

There are probably a lot of quirky out of context quotes from this blog.

Sawing Little Girl Mechanic

If I saw little girl in half does each half become a 1/1

Weirdly, yes.

Saw in Half Card Query

The recently announced mix of black and silver-boarder card styles for Unfinity raises a few questions and one, in particular, stands out to me. Regarding the card "Saw in Half", it mentions rounding up to avoid creating half power and toughness but what happens if its target is an unset card already in possession of such values? Does Little Girl become two full-sized women, for example?

Yes, you round up even if the starting size isn’t rounded up. Sawing in Half a Little Girl somehow gets you two women. : )

Navigating Half-Card Draw Triggers

Same as the last question about drawing cards when Little Girl does damage but the draw card effect triggers for each creature hitting instead of adding up the total damage. So I have two instances of "draw a half card" on top of each other on the stack. Do I get to draw a card?

No.

Interpreting Split Card Draw

If an effect would cause me to draw half a card (Little Girl plus Curiosity--feels like a good fit), and the top card of my library is revealed (let's say due to Field of Dreams) and it's a split card... can I just draw Fire and not Ice?

No. A split card is considered one card and not two half cards despite the two mini cards on it.If you draw less than a full card, you draw no cards.

Understanding Little Girl-Hunter's Insight Interaction

How does little girl work with hunter’s insight? My friends and I have been arguing about this.

If an effect causes you to draw less than a full card, you do not draw a card.

Infect Impact on Little Girl

If you gave Little Girl infect, would her damaging a creature result in a -½/-½ counter or half a -1/-1 counter? How would she deal damage to players?

Half a -1/-1 counter. Half a poison counter to players.

Creature Types in Playtest

"Child is a creature type because little girl. How come Five Kids in a Trenchcoat isn't a child?" Also, playtest cards are not silver-bordered cards and Child is only a creature type in silver-bordered land.

Playtest cards are not black border in any realistic sense. There are plenty of things on the playtest cards that I believe won’t actually work in black border (or would demand a huge reworking of the rules to work). They could have had “silver border” creature types. Anything being on them doesn’t add them to black border.

Creature Type Consistency

Child is a creature type because little girl. How come Five Kids in a Trenchcoat isn't a child?

The playtest cards, being more jokes than actual cards, didn’t go through our normal process that would have caught things like that.

Flaxen Intruder Reference

Are Flaxen Intruder’s 1/2 stats a nod to Little Girl from Unhinged?

If you’d like them to be, yes. : )

Unhinged Damage Rules

If I used an unhinged card to deal half a point of damage to Phyrexian Obliterator (say, Little Girl), do I have to sacrifice half a permanent?

You don’t have to sacrifice a permanent unless all of it needs to be sacrificed.

Casting Endless One

could I use my 1/2 mana to cast Endless One as a little girl?

No. X has to be a whole number.

Half Card Draw

Un-rules question here. So, let's say I have a Little Girl enchanted with Lifelink and a Lich's Mastery out. Whenever she deals damage, I gain that much life. Whenever I gain life, I draw that many cards. How do I draw 1/2 a card?

You can’t. You can only draw whole numbers of cards.

Treasure Usage Mechanics

If I spell swindle a little girl getting half a treasure, can I use half of that treasure to reduce the cost of an improvise spell by 1/2 of a generic mana?

No. You need a whole treasure to use it. I’d let you use two half treasures as if it was a whole treasure.

Countering Token Value

what happens when you counter a little girl with spell swindle?

You get half a treasure token. Not particular useful as you need the whole thing to sacrifice it.

Darian and City of Ass

If I have Darian, King of Kjeldor out and tap City of Ass for Mana, do I get one half a soldier token?

You get a 1/1 token and a ½ / ½ token (think Little Girl).

Saproling Token Clarification

You've said Little Girl with Pollenbright Wings creates half a 1/1 Saproling token, which is a 1/2 / 1/2. If you have Glorious Anthem, does that just make the token into a 1/1?

No, a 1 ½ //1 ½.

Are you sure it's Crew 1? Have you ever tried to have a Little Girl crew your Lexus?

She’s not so little any more. And yes, I taught her to drive in my Lexus.
