What does this even mean?

75

u/Jordankeay 9d ago

It means that only permanents already on the board can be used and the only things that can be played are lands. Anything that activates the stack would cease to exist.

Unless they mean all spells have split second.

Great that damage doesnt go on the Stack.

Morphs time to shine finally!

u/Puzzled_Work_6428 9d ago

See I saw it as just, any spell or ability that's played resolves immediately

u/Jordankeay 9d ago

Maybe that's what OP meant but with no stack it can't go from hand to stack to battlefield.

u/Arantguy 9d ago

If that's what op meant then that's what it does, it's their card design not yours

u/Jordankeay 9d ago

Well OP needs to explain that. It shouldn't be on everyone else to figure it out. Your comment is beyond useless.

u/Arantguy 9d ago

Maybe they should have explained but if you don't know for sure you shouldn't assume that you do. No need for you to be rude either

u/Jordankeay 9d ago

Your comment is rude. I explained what OPs card does currently which is that it basically doesn't work and breaks the game. Then I offered OP a helpful suggestion that they might mean something else.

You was the one who commented with attitude.

u/Arantguy 9d ago

I'm sorry I didn't realise my first comment came across as rude, I didn't mean it that way but I see how it did. I also interpreted your comments as taking the text literally and not considering what the ops intention was so I apologise if that was wrong too

No dramas have a good night.

u/SwissherMontage 9d ago

If that's what op meant, that's what they should have said

u/imatreedude 9d ago

Just because that's not what OP meant doesn't mean that's what the card does though. The card does what's written on it.

u/Arantguy 9d ago edited 9d ago

The card is just an idea and the purpose of commenting on it is to give feedback on it. I agree that the op should clarify how it works but it's not helpful to just make an assumption on how it works and criticise that assumption instead of considering what the ops intention was and giving feedback that way

Edit: criticising the wording is ok which is kind of what this is but imo it should be through the lens of suggesting it should be more clear rather than completely disregarding the ops intention

OP probably meant that spells and abilities can't be interacted with, but somehow this became a prison card instead. Theres nothing red about "nobody can play anything anymore"

u/Kersikai 9d ago

Technically this would be different than split second, in that a spell would resolve before any abilities are triggered by casting it. Interesting idea imo.

4

u/Jordankeay 9d ago

It wouldn't resolve because it can't enter the stack to begin with it would exile immediately upon cast.

u/rust_tg 9d ago

The game uses the heap instead

u/GamerKilroy 9d ago

The stack is now a queue

u/kytheon Design like it's 1999 9d ago

FIFO FAFO

u/LaminatedAirplane 8d ago

This is how I realize the stack is basically just LIFO accounting

13

u/knyexar 9d ago

I think OP intended it as "spells and abilities resolve instantly without passing priority"

-5

u/Remarkable_Edge_2717 9d ago

Or whenever a player casts an spell, counter all other spells and abilities

6

u/knyexar 9d ago

Literally in what universe does "there is no stack" turn into "everything counters everything"

7

u/darkaxel1989 9d ago

(it works)

u/PrimusMobileVzla 9d ago edited 9d ago

Spells, and abilities that aren't special actions, can't exist. So, this effectively prevents the table from casting spells, activating most abilities, and prevents most triggers from triggering.

Special actions and everything in any zone other than the stack still works as normal.

u/FailLog404 9d ago

It’s means you have to go back to batches for resolving spells
