You're like REALLY cool

Thought about my Animate Dead rewrite that used "[change zones] until this card leaves the battlefield" and got a fucked up idea. I also made an actual literal dreadnought boat because that was severely missing from the dreadnought cards

#asks #custom cards #the stack is technically a zone #i THINK there's no problem with how Spell Drowner interacts with it #once it leaves the battlefield the spell should go on top of the stack and resolve as if it were cast #i wonder what kinds of fucked up things you can make happen by putting a spell onto the stack without casting it?#there's probably something in the comprehensive rules about it #nope i just checked and couldn't find anything #i think the only way to put a spell onto the stack without casting it is to copy a spell that's already on the stack #so the rules are NOT meant to handle this #since you don't go through the process of casting the spell i think you don't get to choose targets #Oh Wait! i just remembered Ertai's Meddling #it's got weird wording because the original printed wording is old and fucked up #but even it copies the original spell including targets #okay so Spell Drowner might just be broken then lol #in the sense that it causes cards to break and not work properly #you don't get to choose modes for things like Abrade either #actually Abrade is a bad example because both its modes require targets anyway lol #Archmage's Charm then. if you tried to draw 2 but then it got Spell Drowner'd then you wouldn't get to draw even when you get it back #wait what the fuck the charm's draw mode has to target? what the fuck? why?#Titania's Command! it's got 3 modes that don't target but because you don't get to choose modes you won't get to use them properly #the point is this card is Clever and Interesting but Not Actually Well Designed #also i didn't know what to do with the battleship so i gave it artillery guns that shoot your artifacts as ammunition
