FormOverFunction That is such a cool tidbit on Joven's Tools!

I’ll second what Caerwyn said about contacting the artists. My friend and I were trying to decipher what was written on Joven’s belt buckle on Joven's Tools and he emailed the artist on a whim. Got a near-immediate response and it was great. Made my antique shop deck 300% cooler. (It says “They’re mine, they’re all mine” by the way)

Tawnos's Wand was the first card that came to mind for me, along with Joven's Tools . Nobody really uses walls anymore, right?

You will not be able to block the creature.
Joven's Tools does not get rid of the existing blocking restrictions on the creature--it merely adds another restriction. As such, you will check both targeting restrictions. So, checking Joven's Tools against a wall blocker might pass, but it will still fail the "can't be blocked" restriction.
Think of it this way - if you gave a creature both Flying and Fear, one of those is not overwriting the other--you merely have to check both restrictions and ensure the blocker passes both levels. Those are keyworded abilities, but the effect--two different types of blocking restrictions not overwriting one another--is the same.

If a creature is unblockable coming at me, either naturally or with Stealth Mission could I use Joven's Tools to overwrite that and block with a wall? Or would both statuses exist on the creature and it's still unblockable?
