Shahrazad

Sorcery

Players play a MAGIC subgame, using their libraries as their decks. Each player who doesn't win the subgame loses half his or her life, rounded up.

Chilhuaca, Harbringer phoenix

Legendary Creature - Phoenix God

Flying Haste

When ~ deals combat damage to a player, create an ash token with ": Return Target Phoenix card from your graveyard to the battlefield"

If you control 6 or more phoenixs, phoenix's you control get +3/+3

2/3

"Chilhuaca roams freely and unopposed these days, If your village is her next target, leave, we tried killing her in the past, we did. But we still lost"


not my best flavour text.

Phoenix's are very cool cards in general. They are not very good in commander though, and they are only sometimes good in modern or pioneer. I have good memories of playing with Arclight Phoenix and nightmares of playing against Rekindling Phoenix. And I've always tried to make a phoenix deck work in either commander or modern but, it just doesn't quite work. Despite being powerful modern phoenix's are just not very quick compared to other red strategies, and there's almost no phoenix tribal for commander. So this card solves both issues.

It's very pushed but not as much as Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer so it's fineee....

Next Challenge: Make an uncard along the same lines as Shahrazad where you pause the game and play something outside the game.

For clarity I'm going to use some notation to keep clear which game we are discussing at any point. G0 will be the main game G1 the game created from the first Shahrazad and so on.

If you cast a Shahrazad in G1 you will immediately start G2 and the player who loses G2 will lose half of their life in G1. Likewise if you cast a Shahrazad in G2 you will immediately start G3 and the loser will lose life in G2. Subgames start immediately and affect the game they were created in.

This is why Shahrazad is banned in all formats. With Glittering Wish you could conceivably have to play 9 games in a 4-of format to determine a single game.

Hey guys,

Shahrazad resolves in the main game and a subgame starts. Is it now possible to Burning Wish for a Shahrazad in the first subgame from the main game, then start a second subgame in which I Wish for the previous Shahrazad, and so on?

Thank you!

So many cards in Unfinity blatantly break the rules of the game to the point that I feel it is far too disruptive, and they should be banned outright.

  • Not every card, but many of them.

Photo Op makes the game insanely more complicated, requiring you to pose as the artwork of a card, post it online and await a reply.

Opening Ceremony asks you to open a pack from a set and cast spells from it, which you're not suppose to be using cards from outside the game as it is.

Tug of War is just an annoying version of Shahrazad.

Exit Through the Grift Shop literally will not work in most circumstances, but there are occasions at your LGS where it will, and that is just disruptive.

Phone a Friend is just... ugh. Imagine trying to call people over and over awaiting a reply, just so the fucking game can continue.

Sole Performer, I just can't even with this damn thing.

Don't Try This at Home... Jfc, so you know weebs and incels are going to do the whole "HAHAHA BUT SHE'S HOT ISN'T SHE HOT SHE'S HOT OMG SHE'S SO HOT" bullshit.

Seriously, the more I read these cards, the more they just need to be outright banned.

Claire D'Loon, Joy Sculptor just outright SHATTERS one of the game's core rules - TOKENS ARE NOT CARDS AND DO NOT EXIST ON ANY ZONE OTHER THAN THE BATTLEFIELD.

I seriously hate this set so much.

Shahrazad because....

  1. I'm persian and it speaks to me
  2. I want to mess with people
  3. I want an auto-win condition

If not Shahrezard, then Ante cards. Give me your Blue Eyes White Dragon Yugi!

Intended for friendly playgroup on TableTop Simulator with custom house ban list: No mana-positive cards that stay in play (eg Sol Ring, Mana Crypt/Mana Vault are out, but Arcane Signet, Black Lotus, and rituals are ok) and no tutors for non-land cards. Also, no Shahrazad or Chaos Orb because obviously.
