Meddling Kids

Naming Parody

Given that you were able to make a Ravnican version of the Scooby Gang in this set, do you wish you could have saved the name "Meddling Kids" for it?

No. I stand by my parody/tweak of Meddling Mage called Meddling Kids.

Meddling Kids Syntax

Does a Meddling Kids naming "Meow" prevent "Homeowner" or "Game owo"?

No, just the word and it’s plural if a noun or it’s various forms if a verb.

Naming Rules

If I name "Deal" with Meddling Kids, could my opponent Lightning Bolt it considering it says "Deals" and not "Deal"? Does the word need to be contained by itself or can it be contained within another word? What's the official syntax guide for Meddling Kids?

“Deal” covers “deal”, “deals” and “dealing”, anything with the core root of “deal”, all the verb forms of it.

Meddling Kids' Text

Un-rules question: Does Meddling Kids' ability count reminder text?

It says “text box” (as opposed to rules text) so it counts everything - rules text, flavor text and yes, reminder text.

Gold Cards in Un Sets

Is there any reason there aren't any gold cards in un sets?

There are. Not tons but some. Rare-Be-Gone, Ach! Hans, Run! Meddling Kids. Just a few off the top of my head.

Sorin Theory

Is Sorin secretly just an old man that just wants Tibalt and Dack and all these other meddling kids off his lawn?

That’s a theory.

Meddling Kids' Interpretation

Un-Rules question: When Meddling Kids refers to a card's "text box", what part of the card is that? If I choose the word "Goblin", my opponent can't cast Dragon Fodder, but can they cast Goblin Game? What about Ankle Shanker?

The text box is where the rules text, reminder text and flavor text reside. Meddling Kids do not affect a card’s title, mana cost, card type line, power/toughness or any legal text/collector number info.

Meddling Kids Limitation

My favorite Un-card is Meddling Kids. Is it's exact ability too obscure to see print on a legal card?

Black border Magic cannot look for just any word in rules text. Meddling Kids is silver-bordered because it can’t work in black border.
