Card of the Week Contest #393: All Hail Our Mouse Overlord!

So, this is interesting design: it's hella overtuned, but the design space is interesting. This with a vampire hexmage basically auto-wins the game unless your opponent is playing turbofog lifegain (very few decks in very few boardstates can take 100 life loss). I also don't think the second ability works the way you think it does when interacting with multiple copies of itself.

Per 508.1d " The active player checks each creature they control to see whether it’s affected by any requirements (effects that say a creature attacks if able, or that it attacks if some condition is met). If the number of requirements that are being obeyed is fewer than the maximum possible number of requirements that could be obeyed without disobeying any restrictions, the declaration of attackers is illegal..."

If you have two mutually exclusive requirements all declarable attacks are illegal, because requirements only cede ground to restrictions and never to other requirements. Needing to attack two different permanents at the same time means that nothing can attack. If you want your opponents to still be able to use combat step after He pops, the ability needs to be worded such that multiple instances are redundant rather than exclusive: eg, "Creatures your opponents control must attack a planeswalker named He Who Remains during their controllers next combat step if able," or "Creatures your opponents control must attack a Kang planeswalker during their controllers next combat step."

This ability also fusses around the third portion of 508.1d "...If a requirement that says a creature attacks if able during a certain turn refers to a turn with multiple combat phases, the creature attacks if able during each declare attackers step in that turn." There's nothing wrong with it persay, your wording works perfectly fine, it just atypical of this kind of effect.

Do what you want with this critique, including completely ignoring it.

IF it from One Hundred and One Dalmatians you could make it so "then if you control more than 100, you win the game." 

Uh, I don't know 'bout that chief. Returning any card type seems like a baaaaaad idea.

Oh boy, another person double-dipping into the Crossover Game, original, I know.



*I invite anyone else who hasn't entered to design Luz, Stranger to the Isles, since I haven't yet.

You'll want "Another" on that second ability because otherwise they can just... give you the Saga back.
