How Does BFM Work?

Asked by -Fulcrum 9 years ago

I had an idea about a funsies deck to mess with my roommates, involving B.F.M (Big Furry Monster). I have no idea how to link the card in question using TappedOut's database.

As it is split into two cards, does a playset constitute 4 of each half, or only 4 cards in total?

If I cast Tooth and Nail, can I get both halves and another creature, or just the both halves?

There next to 0 rules regarding the uncards and that is what is unique to them - you get free reign to break the game however you like. If you play with uncards, you will have a lot more fun if you reinvent the rules, rather than try to follow them.

From a rules point of view, you cannot ever play this card, as you cannot cast two cards at the same time. So Tooth and Nail and See the Unwritten with ferocious may be actually your only ways to cast this card.

However, one of the halves has no mana cost or even a creature type, so that may be a supported way rules-wise as well.

As previously said, house rule this BFM.

Worth mentioning (?) that, while this does only applies to unhinged cards, and not to unglued cards such as B.F.M. (Big Furry Monster) (with one exception), Mark Rosewater actually wrote an unhinged FAQTIWDAWCC explaining card-by-card how how he envisioned the cards in the second un-set would work.

Granted, because these are un-set, there is nothing that forces you to actually follow those guidelines, but at least that tells you one way to make the whole thing work.
