Um, Ideological Polarization is *already* a nice card to have around -- it sure helped me out in a 3-player game playing against 2 Astral decks. "Astral Wisdom?

Since I'm reorganizing my OnTE cards, here's a question. Precisely how does Copyright Violation (from the Cut Ups Project) work? If I bring into play the Telephone Psychics from INWO, do I have a cost 1, attack 900, defense 7 personality... or 1/9/0? (Actually, based on something I saw in an early Duelist about the Ring of Maruff from Magic being used to bring an eight of spades into a game [since it said a card, not necessarily a Magic card] I ruminated on the possibility of throwing out Copyright Violation, which under OnTE rules costs 0 to "cast" and should theoretically, if the former above is true, allow a 900/7 creature for 1 colorless mana... :-) alberich@iglou.com | Mark Kinney | http://www.iglou.com/nations "You see that I am different, see that I am strange, I'm a bumpkin I'm a lout" -- Shane MacGowan and the Popes, "Victoria" [O] You received this message because you are subscribed to the-edge [0] To (un)subscribe, send a message to majordomo@robin.ml.org with body of [O] (un)subscribe the-edge ------------------------------ End of The Edge Digested V1 #79 ******************************* [O] You received this message because you are subscribed to the-edge-digest [0] To (un)subscribe, send a message to majordomo@robin.ml.org with body of [O] (un)subscribe the-edge-digest To get off digest, subscribe the-edge [O] To post a message, send it to the-edge@robin.ml.org
