For Kaladesh, I don't really see it as "Indian/South Asian world." It's more like "inventor world" with a South Asian veneer. For Alara, Bant used Arabic and Middle Eastern theming and linguistics for major characters (Rafiq of the Many, Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer, Asha (who doesn't get a card)), and Naya had a Mesoamerican linguistic theme (Matca Rioters, Nacatl Outlander, Winged Coatl). They are not especially representative of Arabic or Mesoamerican culture. I see Kaladesh as an expanded version of that: the South Asian theme isn't a key part of the world, it's simply how it's presented. You could have an inventor world themed after the central Mediterranean (Nikola Tesla, Guglielmo Marconi, Allesandro Volta) and a heavily South Asian-inspired world, pulling from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and assorted sutras (although that gets into the concerns of real-world religious texts). I've also never directly talked to anyone from South Asia about it, so my insight isn't especially deep.

As for guns, Alaborn Zealot's got a pretty nice one, and Vengeance goes into the flavor text, but maybe Portal 2 isn't the best precedent.

Like the idea, have you looked at any "if this creature attacks alone" type abilities like Rafiq of the Many, Sigil of Valor, or Security Bypass?

plakjekaas is one of my less-knowedgeable color sets. I basically know it from a couple of drafts and one Rafiq of the Many EDH deck. So it wouldn't surprise me if I was off on that one. How would you break it down?

I'd love to pair up Haktos the Unscarred with Rafiq of the Many for some Voltron fun

You can concede at almost anytime, unless you are conceding solely for resource denial.

As an example, lets say a player with Rafiq of the Many is swinging at you and he has some of the swords of X and Y on. You have no blockers. He is going to kill you with commander damage. You don't get to concede on the declare blockers step just to deny him the swords triggers.

Or, for example, if you have Karn Liberated out, and you can ult him next turn. You're playing oloro stax. He's well defended because you played him after a boardwipe and, you got a creature and have a counter in hand or something like that. So then someone else Word of Seizings him to ult him themselves. You don't get to concede for that. Conversely, you can't concede just because some guy has taken all your stuff and is using them to win the game, just to take from him all the permanents you own but no longer control, blowing up key parts of his board and letting someone else win when, up until your concession, the "thief player" was playing a stellar game.

This, of course, only matters in a multiplayer format. In 2 player, them conceding means you win, so it doesn't matter. Maybe they're being a little bit of a sore loser, but at the end of the day you still won. In multiplayer, it's more complicated because, like, the game keeps going after a concession. in the toski example, lets say he can take you out, but he's out of cards in hand and really needs that draw. If he draws, he gets something that kind of just forces someone to remove it or it wins the game. But you concede, so he doesn't draw, and then he loses. Or in the karn example, if they restart the game with the stuff karn exiled, yeah, thats not "guaranteed win", but it is a very strong advantage. The exception to this would be when you're the last 2 players in the game. Then it can be "concede whenever" again.

The one hard part about this is slaverlocking people. They don't get to play anymore, but, it's not really fair to the person slaverlocking if the person slaverlocked just concedes, because then thats a 4 mana sink that they just wasted. I understand that it's just unfun, there is no chance to win when youre slaverlocked, but like, what happens then, after you concede? does the Mindslaver guy then get to retroactively change his mindslaver target to someone staying in the game, or does he just have to waste his mindslaver?

To link cards, you'll need two brackets on each side of the card--four total.

So, Rafiq of the Many, Cold-Eyed Selkie, and Righteous Authority are the cards in question.

Authority's ability is called a static ability; it doesn't function using the stack and will constantly update to fit the current criteria it reads.

Thus, if you have 1 card in hand, the Selkie will hit once, draw you 2 cards, then hit again and draw you four.

In the future, the "Rules Q&A" section at the top of the page (or in the drop-down list from the three lines on mobile) is the place for thie sort of thing. Thanks!
