Hey friends. I just figured I'd mention that there's a new Discord server for mathematically-oriented Magic players to discuss the intersection of math and Magic. Since the server opened to the public a few hours ago we've already had conversations about the computational complexity of declaring blockers, how Aura enchant abilities fit into a set-theoretic framework, and how to use graph theory to find the optimal way to stack Hamletback Goliath triggers after a kicked Rite of Replication.
This thread and its predecessors are one of the best-known (and IMO coolest) applications of mathematics to Magic, and you'd be more than welcome to use the Discord as a place to brainstorm with the flexibility and faster feedback loop offered by a live chat platform over a traditional forum.
I know this thread is old, but just in case there were any questions left unanswered, they're meant to create one requirement per affected creature. The CR fails to mention this, but it's the only coherent way for it to work.
