legendofa Back with another batch.
Definites:
Possibles:
•Blinding Powder…if the guy holding it is trying to blind himself XD
•Exile into Darkness is reminiscent of Cage of Hands. Right perspective, hands coming from off screen, but they’re disembodied.
•Clinging Darkness see above.
•Hex seems like it isn’t FPP, but if you’ve ever toiled away painting/organizing miniatures, sometimes you’ll stoop down to check things and get this very perspective.
•Spectral Searchlight odd angle, but possible.
•Haunting Hymn this one’s tough. If you take the whispy tendril thingies to be limbs, then this potentially qualifies. If it’s supposed to be smoke or vapors, then no. I don’t know anything about the lore/backstory of this card to know what’s going on here.
Almost certainly not:
•Shuko check the thumbs. It’s not FPP
•Umezawa's Jitte see above
•Fury Charm almost certainly not FPP, unlike the other charm.

Back with some more legendofa.
Definites:
•Cabal Trainee Tentacles instead of hands, but otherwise a FPP with a reach from off camera.
•Fist of Suns (makes Thanos jealous)
Highly dubious:
•Canopy Claws if the foliage is alive and sentient, then theoretically we could be getting something close to a first person view.
•Stoic Champion nice FPP but no hands from off screen.
•Banshee's Blade maybe FPP, maybe not.
•Proteus Staff first person view and hands coming from out of frame, but the hands are part of the staff.
•Baton of Courage probably not FPP.
•Fleshgrafter probably not from the perspective of those poor hands.
•Cage of Hands the hands are disembodied so I’m not sure if you want to count it.
•No-Dachi probably not FPP.
•Soratami Mirror-Guard definitely first person, but again, no hands.
Polaris on Stolen creatures and equipments - …
4 years ago
Yeah, while an Equipment doesn't fall off if the creature changes controllers, they took control of the creature, not the Equipment. It'll only stay on that creature until you move it somewhere. For the same reason, if the Equipment were Shadowspear or some other Equipment that had activated abilities of its own, your opponent wouldn't be able to use any of them because they don't control the Equipment. They only get to use abilities your Equipment grants to the equipped creature.
To answer your follow-up question, the Equipment never leaves your battlefield. It's attached to a creature you don't control, but it's always on "your" battlefield. You can use any of its abilities (again, see Shadowspear example) and if the equipped creature leaves play it will be on your side of the battlefield. Controlling it and having it be on your side of the battlefield are synonymous.
In a similar way, an Aura like Cage of Hands is on your side and you can activate its return ability (your opponent can't) even though you'll typically be attaching it to one of their creatures.
Polaris on Vampirism on an opponent's creature
4 years ago
It doesn't matter what the enchantment is attached to; you cast it, so you are the controller. "You" always refers to the controller of the effect, not the controller of the enchanted creature. Since you cast Vampirism, it will give the opponent's creature +1/+1 for each creature you control, and give each of your creatures -1/-1.
Also compare Cage of Hands, which uses this rule to let you pick it back up and recast it to lock down a different creature, Inevitable End, which gets around this by giving the ability to the creature (making your opponent the controller of the effect that's making them sacrifice things), and Captive Audience, which shows how an enchantment would have the caster not be the controller.

UPDATE:
I wanted to add more "creature prisons" with return to hand effects. Sadly I could only find one I thought was passable (Cessation and Forced Worship seems a bit too weak to play). While looking at removal cards I also restumbled upon Chaos Warp which suddenly seemed very fun.
OUT: Condemn, Journey to Nowhere
IN: Cage of Hands, Chaos Warp

Considering using more adaptive removal such as Cage of Hands. Such cards can also function as mana outlets as I might have too much mana late game.
Considering using creature cards to fetch lands, such as Farhaven Elf instead of spells such as Sylvan Scrying. This is because I need the creatures for my buffs, and although they are more expensive to cast, I don't mind the deck being a bit slower.
