    Yes, this is what I was going for. Didn't realized that it already existed in Silver Border. Smile
    Anyway, now rules question: Using my template, changing control (and not ownership) of the cards in library instead of the library itself, could it work in black border?

    The main problem with this card is exchanging control of libraries. Players don't 'control' their libraries(or their graveyards or cards in hand), so you can't exchange control here.

    Thanks, @user_938036 - I thought that I couldn't change ownership of libraries/graveyard/cards in hand, that's why I chose to shuffle hand and graveyard in their libraries, and then changing the ownership of the CARDS in each library. Couldn't that work? Also, Mindslaver make you control that player, not their cards/permanents... :/

    I was thinking about a card that could represent Bolas' ultimate manipulation. My goal was going for something like Mindslaver (or Emrakul's ability) but enabling you to win the opponent's deck. I am posting here to get feedback on both the mechanic and to know if this could be done inside the rules. Smile

    As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't cast spells or activate abilities that aren't mana abilities.
    You and target player player shuffles his or her hand and graveyard into his or her library. Exchange control of all his or her permanents, life total and all cards in his or her library with your permanents, life total and all cards in your library. You and that player draws 7 cards. Exile ~.

    The split section clause is to prevent someone to kill itself in response to the spell. It is really needed, right?

    Maro just clarified that he meant fewer Gatewatch Planeswalkers cards, not fewer Gatewatch driven stories.

    Low-contrast center-aligned capitalized text. They really put the art over function this time.

    Makes even more sense if you look at the symbol on the Hanweir Card, that it's an Eldrazi and not "night", as on every other DFC Card.

    It seems like an Avalon Hill + LoneSharkGames + WotC project due on Halloween. Any ideas?

    I think that sure there were some stretches and bends in gramatics/syntax in foreign languages. I am from Brazil, and in one of the clues it is written: "A pastora volta para o seu rebanho. Pergunte-se: Por [quê]?" This [quê], should not have the accent "^" on the final phrase: "Lembre-se que eles vieram em três.". But I think it is ok, as it is VERY difficult to make a word puzzle work in every language.

    Downdala, see if this makes sense to you (also found in Reddit):

    As i said in previous thread, this works in French
    Ugin's Insight flavor text : "Mais n'oublie pas qu'ils sont trois"
    Clue 11 : "Leur chant se faisait plus bruyant, MAIS la marée montait toujours"
    Clue 14 "N'OUBLIE pas d'envoyer Jenrik au Manoir Markov"
    Clue 16 "Une bergère qui ne secourt PAS son troupeau est-elle encore une bergère ?"
    Clue 15 "Les symboles ! Que s'est-il passé pour QU'ILS changent ?"
    Clue 13 "Les anges SONT désormais entourés d'un épais voile de mystère"
    Clue 12 "Pour chaque réponse se pose TROIS questions supplémentaires".
    For info, Tamiyo's journal references 712 in french.


    So, following the "rule" so far, the french numbers that have four digits should be 1171, 1263 and 1035. Can you confirm or not these numbers?

    Looks like we got it! /u/Hyperwyrm figured out the last part: Let's take the english Journal for example - the page number is 434. Here's what the numbers mean, in order:
    4: Find the clue token with 4 words in its flavor text ("With angels came mysteries").
    3: Take the third word of the flavor text ("came").
    4: This word is the fourth word in the final sentence ("Remember this: They came as three").


    This is the important part. If if follow these instructions, you should get the same flavour text, in every language.

    Wizards have updated the site and cleared things up.

    I also believe that the Planeswalkers will be an Avengers-like story eventually. But as with the Avengers themselves, they also started with the Iron Man movie to start presenting their characters.

    There's been almost two years since we've first heard about the Magic movie, but no further information was given since them. MaRo was asked a few times on his Blogatog, but he always been evasive about it. With this "new era of storytelling", I think one of the reasons is that the story will be told not only on the "Uncharted Realms" but on the big screen too. This being true, could possibly explain why they are taking so long to reveal any synopsis as it would spoil not only the movie, but the upcoming set (which they have already told us some time that they prevent doing as it could put the current set out of focus).

    Also, I've been thinking that taking Liliana out of this current set would make easier to make the first MTG Movie with only one big protagonist. Innistrad is a very popular set with tropes that would be easy enough to a broader audience to follow (angels x demons, zombies, etc...). So, I think that we might seen Innistrad not only on cards, but on a movie, very soon.

    Do you think that this is plausible?

    It was Mark Rosewater's words. He is no rules manager, but he pointed this out as a big problem.
